The response to invitations is re-
ported gratifying. They were sent out
less than six months ago and already
20 nations Of Australia, Asa. America
and Europe have sent acceptanceS.
Inasmuch as the largest number of

Olympic games numbered 40. it will
be grasped that a score of acceptances

augury, indeed, for a large representa-
ton of the countries of the world.
Shows No Discrimination.
THE delicate situation created by
the protest of the A. A. U. and
the American Olympic Associa-
ton about discrimination By Germany
against Jewish athletes seems to be in
process of satisfactory adjustment.
Germany's pledge of non-discrimi-
nation against athletes of the Jewish
race is being faithfully observed, SO
far as any one knows or has heard
and the tendency of the American
Olympic authorities is to accept the
assurance as having been given in
absolute good faith.
Since there were only four athletes
of Jewish extraction on the 1882
American Olympic team, the protest
of our national amateur athletic body
and the Olympic Association had no
basis of practically or national self
ishness. 1t was thoroughly idealistic.
Perhaps it was all the more weighty
and impressive because of this.
At any rate, there is no reason
to believe that Germany wants this
issue raised again or that inferential-
ly, or in more tangible ways, she will
do anything to revive it from its
mo-ibund state.

Hornbostel, the greatest half miller

record for the event. Fuqua qualified,
as expected, in the 220 and 440 yard
dashes. Ward made places for him
self in three events, the 100-yard
dash, the 120-yard high hurdles and
the broad jump, and was entered in
the high jump today.
Illinois, however, came up with
three sprinters, Hunter Russell, Hud-
son Hellmuch and Verne Eckert, all
of whom qualified, and landed men
in enough other spots to dominate
the qualifying trials with 16 places.
Michigan had eight, while Indiana
was tied with Wisconsin with seven.
