GREELEY, Colo, Oct. 23.-P)-
A silver star hero, now 80, who
survived 10 months in German

and has snatched the individual
scoring leadership in mountain

Shock-haired Elmo Cromer, Col

Way Now Opened For
Reds Olympic Entry

CHICAGO, Oct. 23.-(P)-The In
ternational Amateur Athletic Fed
GRAFTON has cleared the way for
Russia's entry in the 1913 Olympic
games-if Russia will accept its in
vitation to membership.
Avery Brundage, president of
the United States Olympic COM
mittee, said today the I.A.A.F.
"extended the hand of friendship"
TO Russia through the invitation,
which was made by it's council at
meeting in Stockholm last Au-
gust.
Admitting the invitation was one
of the most significant develop
ments in International Athletic
competition, Brundage said two
t: ctors might bar Russia's accept
ance.
First Russia is an extremely
proud nation" he declared, land
may decline to appear in 1nterna-
tional Competition without con-
fi,'ence of victory. Secondly, such
competition means determination
with athletes of other nations,
something Russian generally has
not permitted"
He explained that Russia last
competed in the Olympics at the
Stockholm games in 1912. "Since,
tie country has kept its huge
sports program strictly within its
own borders"

The four Junior Varsity football
teams, which have been practlclng

Thirteenth and Ann field, will play

gridiron battles. The contests a-e

Lions and the Forty and Eight
Club of the American Legion al
7:3O o'clock, and the Jaycees ana
Kiwanis at $3.50 o'clock. Both
tits will be played at the Amerl-
can Legion Stadium.
The elevens are made up of only
Freshmen and Sophomores. The
teams were chosen from a Large
group of over 100 boys, who were
gridders of the grammar school
clubs, and are hoping for varsity
berths in the future.

from the fullback slot on the
club.
Bill McElwain, blocking back

Kiwanis eleven, and has drilled
them on the double wingback
plays. This is a passing system
and is always dangerous in the
