IN CAMPAIGN DETROIT, Aug. 20,—Senator James Couzens, who during the last session of congress was frequently aligned with the La Follette group and whose Republicanism has been questioned by political opponents, announced yesterday in two speches that he will support the Republican ticket in November, frrespective of the outegme of the September prk maries at which he is a candidate for repomination. Senator Couzens, who addressed the Wayne County. Women's Re- publican club and later an open air rally at the Royal Oak, said he was “grateful” for the recent en- dorsement of his candidacy by Sen- ator La Follette, but that-he was seeking office as a Republican, a supporter of party policies. He added, however, that he expected to have a part in the framing of those party policies and would not accept meekly as the party creeds anything handed him by others. Michigan, he sa'd, is “Republican in thought” and his enemies were charged with attempting to creat senUment against him by challeni ing the degree of his party allegl- ance. Senator Couzens said he “prob- ably was in error” a year ago When he said the present prohibition laws were unenforceable and that he was in favor of “old fashioned” beer.” “But I shall say what I mean, re- gardiess of the political error of the arks,” he added. “Nothing I can n change the prohibition —— NOTICE I will not stand responsible for, nor pay, any obligations, sills or accounts whatsoever, incurred or contracted by my. wife, Oma M.

Bartley Madden is going to the Ould Sod to enjoy a well earned rest. His manager points with. pride to the fact that he will carry to Ireland an unmarked countenance which, says the manager, would be accept- ed in any court of law as evidence that Bartley is not such.a punching bag as. most people seem to think. ‘The writer's idea js that is does not show he is a punching bag but that he is a mighty tough punching bag.

Therefore, figures Flynt,’ Wills was letting ’em go, too, for all he was worth and did not make as much of an impression upon the granite man as did Renault.

FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor.) NEW YORK, Aug. 20.—(United Press.)\—When the American ath- letes were leaving the Colombes sta- ium after the completion of the recent Olympic games, a prominent officials of the British team said: “We'll all have to wait now for four years to resume the European battle for second places.” This statement expressed rather strikingly the feeling that the for- egnnations haye about the athletic Strength of the United States. While American ¢ es are sounding warnings about the danger of a de- cline in strength that might cause a defeat in Amsterdam in 1928, the European officials and coaches lean the other way and expect to see a stronger team sail from the United States for Holland. Because some European nations figure Americans as the champion horn-blowers cf the world, there is something to be admired in the modesty that prompts the American coaches to point out that we are not advancing as rapidly'as sdme of the younger foreign athletic nations, but facts and figures do not war- rant any such pessimism about the next games. ‘The team that won the champion- ship in Paris was a stronger and vetter balanced team than the 1920 team which cleaned up tn Antwerp. The track and field team scored more pvints and won more first gainst harder opposition er more trying cireum- stances than the 1920 team did in Antwerp. The Americans won the boxing and tennis tournaments, two events that were not won in Antwerp. The 1920 boxing team had to be con: tent with second place and thére was no American entry in the tennis matches, While the Americans won the box- ing championship in Paris, they won only two division titles, while they won three in Antwerp. The failure of Eddie Eagen, the former Yale boxing captain, to win the heavyweight championship was a disappointment and a blow to the team. It was not his fault. Eagen is a student at Oxford, and he had $0 much scholastic work that he was Unable to train enough and he was robbed of $350 the night before the contests started and he was de pending upon the money to keep him in England until the university opens in the fall. If the American team was stronger this year than it four years ago, there is nd’ good reason why it should not be stronger in another four years. ‘There is no reason to belleve that the United States is declining physical! das long as coaches have sound specimens to work: on they should get better ro- sults as the science of coaching and the method of training are con stantly improving.

The Swedish team of 1920 was coached by Ernie Hjertsberg, and it was a most for- midable team. Many of the Amert- cans at the close of the Antwerp a@mes predicted that Finland and Sweden would make it extremely hard for our team in Paris. But the Swedes did nat retain Hjerts- berg. He went to Holland and turned out a team that was the big surprise of the games. With the exception of Wide, a great, little runner, and Christiernsen, a hurdler who really was developed in the United States last year, the Swedes did not have a dangerous com- petitor. The United States has a tremend- ous advantage over most of the for- eign nations in a more comprehen- sive schoo and college system, where more ahd mofe ‘attention ‘is being paid to athletics. The United States now has, and perhaps will have for years to come, more good school boy athletes than any other nation, and it is the school boy of today that is Olympic star of to- morrow. ‘The French ministry of sport real- izes that France can never get any place in international athletics until the boys get interested in running and jumping, and-it is understood that the French officials are now drawing plans to establish a regular system of athletics in the schools, It was report;d in Paris that an offer had been made to Walter Christie, the very capable track coach at the University of Califor nia, to establish an athletic system in the French schools and coach the boys durinz the summer vacations.
