NEW YORK, January 25.--There is

gave fluent voice to the movement last

made no change.
The State Board of Equalization in
Idaho met last August and reduced as

Here's How To Treat 1t

According to the Government Health
Bulletin No. E-24 at least so per cent Of
the adult population of the United States
are being attacked by the disease known
as Athletes Foot
There are many other names given to
this disease, but you can easily tell if you
have it,
Usually the disease starts between the
toes. Little water bIisters form and the
skin cracks and peels. After a while, the
itching becomes intense and you feel as
though you would like to scratch off all
the skin.
Often the disease travels all over the
bottom of the feet The soles of your
feet become red and swollen. The skin
also cracks and peels and the itching
becomes worse and worse.
1t has been said that this disease orig
mated in the trenches so some people call
it Trench Foot Whatever name YOU give
1t however the thing to do is TO get rid
of il as quickly az possible because II is
very contagious and it may go to your

Siderably, but the club officials
refuse to cut so much as one

Nurmi Reaches
Olympic Site
Today

LOS ANGELES, July 13.-
Paavo Nurmi, of Finland, who
bids fair to be the stormy petrel
of the tenth Olympic. will see to
day for the first time the scene
of what may be his greatest tri,
umph or his most bitter disap.
pointment.
Nurmi, with Coach Hugo Lab
tinen and IL Finnish trackmen,
arrives from the East to swell the
fast growing ranks OF Olympic
village.
Trains Immediately
The great distance runner, an
Olympic champion and worlds
record holder many times over,
will Immediately start training
for the Marathon run. the feature
event of the games which start
here July 80. At present under
suspension, Nurmi will not know
until two days before the games
whether or not he will be eligible
In addition to Nurmi there is
Harri Larva, Olympic 1,500-meter
champion; Elmo Purje, third in
the Amsterdam 1.500-meter event;
Aki Jarvinen, world record holder
in the Decathlon, and Lasse Vir'
tanen, Lauri Lentinen and Vol
mari Iso-Hollo, the surprising
young Finnish stars who have
challenged the records of Nurmi
himself.
The present Finnish delegation
will be followed by a second group
within several weeks bringing the
total entry into the neighborhood
of 40.
Numerous Victories
According to present plans,
Nurmi will run only the mara
thon, providing, of course, that he
is eligible. The great Finn began
his Olympic career in 1920 by
winning the 1O,000meter run at
Antwerp. Since then he has
swept on to victories in every
thing from the 1900 meters to
the crosse country run.
Feeling he lacks the speed for
the shorter distances, Nurmi has
switched to the marathon run
approximately 26A miles in
length. His records for this long
grind have been astounding, and
he will be the prime favorite to
win.

SEEN FOR j. 8.
IN HURDLES
By HARRY COSTELLO

Todays form chart, for the
final tryouts of the American
Olympic team, lists six events.
The chart shows the form
which athletes proved in five
major semifinals.
The final tryouts will be staged
at Palo Alto, Calf, Friday and
Saturday.
Every indication points to the
United States finishing one-two-
three in the Olympic games l1O-
meter hurdles. The main idea at
present is to choose Americas
representatives.
The world records for the 12O-
yard and 110-meter hurdles are
the same, 14.4 seconds. Three OF
the entries in the final tryouts
have broken this record. Percy
Beard, of the N. Y A. c.. has
done 142; George Sailing, of Iowa,
has done IA twice, 14.3 and AL;
Jack Keller, Ohio State, has
done 14.3.
Overwhelming FavOrites
These three are overwhelming
favorites to be Americas repre-
sentatives in the Olympic Games.
The question as to the best OF
these three is wide open, although
experts pick Beard when forced
to designate a winner.
Exclusive of the three named
there are still seven others to
be considered. They are Wendell
Smith. 14.5; Johnny Morrison,
14.5; Lee Sentman, 14.4; Buck
Grant, 142 with following Wind);
Alvin Moreau, lat; John Black,
l4.6; and Jimmy Hatfield. 14.6.
Gene Beatty, of Michigan State,
appears standout in the 400
meters hurdles, with Joe Healy,
N. Y. u; Vic Burke, Georgetown;
Dick Pomeroy, former American
titleholder; Glen CSlatsD Har-
din, Louisiana State freshman,
and Jimmy Meeks, of Occidental
College, all grouped from So Sec
onds flat to 536. Picking second
and third here is difficult.
AS the chart shows, McDonough
should win the 10000 meters, al
though this race is fraught with
possibilities of upsetS.
Greatest High Jumper
The youthful Ward, former
schoolboy champion. now a fresh.
man at Michigan, has been hailed
far and wide as the greatest
American high jumper. On form
it would seem that he should
win. However, in severe competi.
ton there is danger for the
yoUngster 1t seems that the ex-
perience Of such jumpers as
Marty. Spitz, O'Connor, Barber
and King may upset the youthful
Ward in the final tryouts. At
that. Ward has the ability to win.
The pole vault, as the chart
shows, is wide open. This is
anybody's event, with Barnes ia
vored by the critics
Redd, on form, should take the
broad jump. Yet on any given
day there would be little to
choose between the five jumpers
listed in the chart. Wide open.
Tomorrows chart will contain
the proven form in the final six
events scheduled to be decided in
the final tryouts.

legian can handle his own
troubles without calling in the
marines.
Headline Match
however, the match uppermost
in the minds of local wrestling
enthusiasts is the affair between
Gino Garibaldi and Fred Grob-
mier, which will headline the bill
of fare. Grobmier has been quite
a figure here for the past seven
months. but his position is totter-
ing. He must defeat the bold
Garibaldi tomorrow night if he
wants to retain his place.

Lieut.. Stanley K. Robinson,

to appear again at No. 2 in the
singles. He is playing a much i'm.
proved game.
Robinson lost his match to
Lieut. McCue in last years series.
Should he be able to reverse the

Army tournament; Major Ran
dolph Gordon, Lieut.. Thatcher,
and Lieut.. John Helms, makes
the Army team the strongest in
years.
Since 1925 the Army has been
unable to break into the winning
column.
Their nearest approach to vic
tory over that seven year period
came last year, when Muehleisen
made his debut in Leech Cup
competition by defeating the
Navy No. man, Lieutenant
Watt, in the singles, and with
Lieutenant Robinson as a part
ner, scoring a victory over the
Navy premier doubles.
Doubles Decide
Navy saved itself from defeat
only by taking two doubles.
Lieutenant Watt and Commander
Godfrey winning bitterly fought
three-setter from Lieutenant Hills
and Lieutenant Hobbs to decide
the issue.
Washingtonians have been able
to watch several of the Navy's
best performers in action here.
Lieut.. Gerry Smith, who played
No. 3 last year, reached the semi
finals of the City of Washington,
and conducted himself we'll in
league play.
Ensigns Jimmy Farrin and Bill
Howard acquitted themselves cred
itably in the recent District of
Columbia tournament.
No Line on Watt
But the Navy's ace of aces,
Lieut.. R. M. Watt. remains an un-
certainty. He has been doing his
playing in tournaments up North.
where he has met some of the best
players in the country.
