THESE CHANGING TIMES

Shortly after 1900, girl named Annette Keller.
man appeared public beach near Boston, Mass, in
onepiece bathing suit. She, and her father who &C
companied her. were hauled before a magistrate and
charged with indecent exposure.
Her father told the Judge that the one-piece suit
which reached down to the ankles not indecent,
charged and that it the only practical suit for
girl who swan tweve-mile distances.
This bit of reasoning appealed to most Americans,
those who shvered at the thought of girl show
ing her ankles And the march of progress plus the
peal of Miss Kellerman established the piece bath
ing suit acceptable in this country.
Times have changed a lot since the early part of
the century, when the one-pece bathing suit of Miss
Keleman shocked the citizens of Boston. Those who
objected to that suit then probably wish young ladies
would something more like it today.
Recently, in Baltimore, Annette Kellerman Mrs
Jimmy Sullivan) demonstrated 1904 model bathing
suit to Red Cross volunteer. There question
the girls couldn't answer during the demonstration and
that what the trend for the next fifty years in ladies'
bathing suits will be.
Certainly progress in the next fifty years will be
slower than it has been in the last fifty and the
nations unmarried males must face up to it resoluely;
most of the progress in this field has already been made
and indeed the horizons in the future cannot be pro-
ductive those of the past

have nothing much to say.

Bannisier Retiring,
Leaving Big Void
In World Of Track
BY m. Associated Pres.

LONDON. Dec, 10.-Roger
Bannister. one of the two men
who have run the mile under
four minutes, has stepped off the
cinder track at the peak of his
great athletic career.
Bannister, a recent medical
school graduate announced his
retirement last night at the an
nual banquet of the Sports Writ
ers Association of Great Britain.
The master miller made it of
fetal the same day that in far
off Australia his friend and
keenest rival. John Landy. talked
glumly of quitting competitive
running.
So 1854 nears an end with q
vast void looming in the track
and field world.
1t was a year that saw BAN
mister. then Landy, crack the
four minute mile barrier. Then
in a memorable race at VAN
couver. British Columbia, Ban
mister vanquished his Australian
rival in a race in which both
were clicked under four minutes.
Bannister first lowered the
mile mark to 1884 at Oxford.
England. May 6. A little more
than a month later in Finland.
Landy dropped the record to
3.58. At Vancouver. in the
British Empire Games. Bannister
won in 1888. with Landy second
in $685..
Experts now talk of other
runners finishing the mile in
less than four minutes and even
lowering Landy's world mark.
Time will tell. But in all prob
ability the track world may wait
a long time before it sees an
other mile year such as 1854.
Bannister. who'll be 26 next
March, limited quite clearly after
his European l,500-meter cham
pionship victory at Bern in Au-
gust that he had run his last
race. He was one of six British
athletes honored last night.
The young doctor rose to say:
II have to refer to something
which contains a very sad note,
namely that I shall now be COM
PEELED to give up international
athletics"
He explained that his medical
career has made training in
creasingly difficult.
Il feel sure every one will
understand 1 could get little
satisfaction from second-rate
performance" he said, land it
would be wrong to produce Sec
ond-rate performances when
representing my country"
Bannister may do a bit of pri-
vate running in the future, but
the world will now have to watch
films of his races if they seek to
recapture the thrill of seeing his
fabulous kick through the last
300 yards of mile.

Irish players to be highly sue
cessful in their postcollege
careers. In an address at a BAN
quet honoring the 1854 Notre
Dame team last night, he said
the survey of former players
dating back to the turn of the
century brought returns from
about 48 per cent or $50 ex-
players.
Fifty-six per cent of those who
responded have jobs in the ex-
ecutive class and 80 per cent
are in the professions. Only
one-half of l per cent fall into
the category of clerical or semi
skilled worker. Father Joyce
said the average annual income
of $9,755 for the players COM
pared with an average which he
said ranged from $3,400 to $1,000
credited to college men generally
in recent magazine survey.
The Notre Dame survey also
showed that II per cent had
held public office at one time, 16
per cent had received some sort
of civic honor and rs per cent
belong to one or more fraternal,
business. professional or civic
organizations.
Father Joyce said the survey
discrediteG the caricature rep
resentation of football player
as "a cross between a Neander-
thai man and a full-blooded
gorilla" He said 30 per cent of
the former players completed
their academic courses and were
graduated from Notre Dame.
Forty per cent played profess
sional football after graduation,
but only for an average of two
years. Strangely, So per cent of
the graduates before 1917 played
pro ball, whereas only 7 per cent
of the graduates in the past five
years entered pro ranks.
Father Joyce lauded the in
augural head coaching season of

Arkansas won, 60, to give the
Rebels their only loss.
Erdelatz Points to Speed.
Mississippi has probably the
best all-around team speed in
the country" Erdelatz said,
quoting a scouting report. ut
has the finest passing team the
scout has seen for a split-T +. i.
two men for each position, al
ternating through each game"
"They look aggressive and
fast" Vaught said of Navy.
They look like quite a ball club
to beat"
From that it may be con-
cluded that both teams are in
for trouncings New Years Day.
Actually, with Navy rated fifth
in the final Associated Press poll
and Mississippi ranked sixth. a
real thriller is in prospect.
The Rebels will outweigh the
Middies, 21c pounds to 1874 in the
line and 1872 to 173 in the back
field. Allen Muirhead and Earl
Blair are two of the fastest backs
in the country, while Quarter
backs Eagle Day and Houston

passing punch.

started Monday. whereas the
Middies didn't begin until
Wednesday. The Mississippi
squad will work out until De-
cember %, while the Middies
will disband for Christmas a
week from tomorrow, Deem

Navy also plans a light pro-
gram for the post Christmas
sessions in New Orleans-once-
a-day, easy practices, with time
off for fun. The Rebels also will
work out just once a day after
Christmas, but will spend the
equivalent of a second workout
on lectures and blackboard drills.
