More than this, Earl Eby is going to do something for Penn on the indoor track, if what he | showed last year is any criterion. and | Lever, another sprinter, is a comer. All this leads up to that big track event at Penn the end of April—the Penn relays. Athletic Cripples. We often read of the remarkable success achieved by cripples, or oth- er persons at great physical disad- vantages in the b®siness wotld, but seldom do we near of them attaining fame in the atiletic world. Cornell's wresiling team boasts, and properly, too, ot Snedeker, who, with the handicap 0. a wooden leg from his thigh down, .s dangerous to any man of his weight. Bishop of Pennsylvania threw him recently, but Snedeker put up a game fight. Kelly, one of the best Princeton backfield men in the history of foot fall at that institution, was lame in one foot. And there is a record of a British professional golfer who lost his leg in the war, and who, even be- fore he had an artificial leg, played his home course. He used crutches ito get from shot to shot, balanced { himself on his one leg when making his_strokes and. he did the' course in 72. Middle Western Troubles. There is trouble out at the Univer- sity of Minnesota. In the last month several athletes havé been lost and the student body feels the men have been discriminated agajnst in the classroom. Meantime, while Minne- sota has her eligibility worries: Ohio State and Wisconsin still are at odds and Michigan feels that Chicago turned it down for Princeton in foot ball. So, all in all, there is very little brotherly love in the conference. Dick Landon's Style. Every one, of course, is interested in Dick Landon, the winner of the Olympic high jump, and his progress this winter. He is of much frafler | physique than either Alma Richards or | Wesley Oler, but this may be to his advantage, as he carries less weighty | to hoist over the bar. His style is the most satisfactory of any jumper | the writer has seen in a long time. (Copyright, “the me The Licesrr & Myazs Tosacco Co.
