=$ Of Roger Bob"
GinO SINH lever ton, the
Richmond U. all-around marvel
(whose ability they could not very
we'll hide) little or nothing is
known of the proves Of the
other Is males and the four te-
males.
And the G-men's coach acts
just like a deaf-mute clam with
lockjaw when efforts are made to
penetrate the dense air of Sc
crecy. Come to think of it, even
the coach's name is unknown.
However, "Yank" Robbins and
Homer Pryor, joint leaders of the
Agriculture Department forces,
last years team trophy winners,
and (until the Bureau of Investi-
cation jumped in with such a
heavy entry and so much mys-
tery) the odds-on favorites to re-
peat. are getting their cohorts in
topnotch shape for all eventuali-
ties.
SpurnS Three Events
Leverton, the Omen ace, will
attempt the most gruelling Iron
Man" stunt in the history Of local
athletics. having entered in thir-
teen of the sixteen events for men.
The three events Bob spurned are
the mile and 5000 runs and shot
put.
Leverton's friends explain that
the reason Bob is passing up these
three tests is because ne expects
to attend swim meet at night
and a dance later, and he's afraid
the runs and shot putting might
tire him out bit.
The U. S. Supreme Court by re-
1ecting the N. r. A. code did the
Aggies a good turn, for if the
N. R. A. had retained its full
strength of last year, when it fin
ished second, it would again have
been a potent threat and Satur-
days battle would have been a
three-way "cut-throat" affair.
The team the MIRA can muster
now will do small damage. None
of the other teams, Internal Reve-
nue., G.P.O., Farm Credit, Home
Owners Loan, Interior and Dis
trict Government, figure to nose
out either the Aggies or the G.
men.
Discover Ace Jumper
Pryor and Robbins were particu-
larry pleased to find among their
charges, "Slim" Blake, Syracuse
U. High jumping ace, who has
done feet 2 inches.
