settled. Ii has been generally assumed

the conference may not be set until

WONDERFUL exhibitions OF speed
w and skill characterize the Olym-
pic games at Los Angeles. Athletes
from many lands are competing and
records mean little to them, for they

the way things were going, the change
In managers was made without his
knowledge.
