Karl F. Wettstone, then presi- dent of the college, startled the athletic world by decreeing a pro- gram of intramural athletics de- signed to give every student physi- cal training. Contests with other schools were banned. Paul H. Bucholz, now president, found attendance and student in- terest in the school waned under the plan and now Dubuque has a schedule of six football and 15 basketball games scheduled for the fall. ——— Try the ¥ve oClock Dinner Bpecials at Mabry’s. -Mv.‘ J | den | time record. {everything before him in tennis.

Ruth, at 35, is carrying on but with only a part of the sensational form that stamped him as the: king of sluggers. Tilden, at 36, still outranks all] but a few who have effectively bar- ternational play. There may beé anoher trio be- fore the sports world to equal Lhc*l | spectacular performances of Ruth, Tilden and Dempsey. Anyway, their equal is not yet in sight. VANCOUVER, B.

Six years ago, the 2l-year-old peedster, who weighs only 114 pounds, was hurt in a rugby game. H:o developed muscular rheumatism; was bedridden nine weeks, and re-' mained out of athletics for a year. After the long rest he turned out | for track at King Edward high school, despite his physician’s ad- vice against violent exercise. He won his first 100-yard dash in 10 3-5 seconds and from then on ‘])ic‘l. 'a | tough. could not be stopped. His fastest high school time was 9.9 seconds, and for the 220 dash, 22 seconds.
