(Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, May 27.—The threat of colleges with small entries, who have no chance of winning, is keep- ing the coaches of an unusual num- ber of possible winners of the inter: collegiate awake nights these days. There is no more upsetting worry than knowledge that a few indivi- dual stars may upset»all the hopes ef n team that looks lke a sure winner. The uncertainty of the situation is clearly shown when several of the dopesters predict that Prince- ton, which was overwhelmingly de- feated by Yale two weeks ago, {5 likely to win these games. California, winner for the Inst three years, has been much weak- ened by losses and was badly beaten by Stanford in their recent duai meet. Stanford has strong hopes this yaar and there will be several point winners among the st entries, which include not only Staa. ford ‘and California, but also che University of Southern California The games at Cambridge promise to be the most interesting ever held not only on account of the special stars, but also because of their bear ing upon the later Olympic tryouts.

The French have no very bright hopes in the track*and field events. They have two or three yourigsters who are showing some form, but not enough to match Olympic company. France will depend chiefly on its athletes, particulurly in the longer distances. Jackson is the best of the youngsters. He is 18, a sprinter, and is partly American bred, but needs another year or two to get his full strength. He may, however, place in ‘he 200 and 400 meters. Bontemps, another youth, steeple chase champion of France, is show- ing good form in the distances. But in general the younger school has not developed much promising ma- terial.

The writer hears that Columbia, with a view to bucking up her rowing system, has been scanning the Far West for an aquatic instructor who will do for the Morningside university what Leader has done for Yale and Stevens Is trying to do for Harvard. This search on the part of Colum: bia, it is understood, is more or less tentative at present and is not de- signed to interfere with the plan of giving the presenc system oppor. tunity of proving tself effective or otherwise. An outsider would venture the opinion that a wholesome support by the student body in the way principally of furnishing adequate material is the first necessity and that no instructor, whoever he may be, wherever he may hail from, can get very far. without it. The Severn was fn its usual tu- multous mood when the Syracuse- Navy regatta was held at Annap- olis on Saturday and the Orange, hardly used to deep sea rowing | Velvet Grip Hose Suppo: First in News e ey THI y tT Of All Events s TIME Vv was at a considerable disadvantage. Nonetheless, the fact should not be overlooked that in defeating the Salt City sweep swingers by more than’ four lengths, the midshipmen demonstrated they have a crew to be reckoned with. Undoubtedly the fatper’s mantel has fallen upon the shoulders of the younger Glen- don who was forced this season to do quite a ttle developing of in- experienced varsity men. It is not foregone that an eight that beats another eight on rough water can do the same thing on smooth, but nine times out of ten the proof may be regarded as es- established. Syracuse and the Navy will meet again at Philadel- phia and we then shall see whether the Orange is the exception that proves a rule. Rough water at Cayuga com- pelled the Cornell and Harvard var- sity and freshmen eights to row on the inlet. So it was a smooth wat- er test which culminated very fay- rably for the Ithacans. Not in the writer's memory has an _ inter-col- legiate regatta been decided upon the waters of the inlet. The Cor- nell eight, rowing a higher beat than Princetown last week, showed improved form while it can hardly be said that Harvard's reorganized crew was any better, if as good, than the one that was defeated by Pennsylvania on the Charles two weeks ago. As the preliminary regattas have worked out, Yale has defeated Co- lumbia, Pennsylvania, Princeton and Cornell. The Navy defeated Syracuse in her sole regatta. Penn- sylvania has beaten Harvard and Columbia, Syracuse has beaten Massachusetts Tech and been de- feated by the Navy. Massachu- setts Tech has succumbed to Sy cuse and defeated Cornell.

The Chi- cagos who batted and ran the bakes until they quit from sheer fatigue. were credited with fourteen earned runs and twenty-nine safe hits, in- cluding three home runs. 2.2% Wyoming Motorway ? ? ?
