WOULD BOOM OLYMPICS 785 | 40,000,000 Francs Asked by French Government as First Appropri- ation for 1924 Games. By the Associated Press. PARIS. July 9.—A first appropria- tion of 40,000,000 francs for the 1924 Olympiad, to' be held in Paris, is sked by the government in a bill resented in parliament yesterday by Vidal, undersecretary = for physical education. This sum is_listed as the ministry of foreign affairs’ contribution for propaganda. The city of Paris will co-operate with the government in building a great stadium, and will share the expensc for construction. An effort is to be made to create an immense sport center near Parls. with varicties of tracks and arenas, and adequate transportation facilities, as well as housing and tralning quarters for athletes. Grganization of the Olympiad w!ll ntirely be in the hands of the French acting under the general n of a central committee, not- withstanding the fact that the French government and the city of Paris will furnish the necessary funds. “The Intention is to make it a great manifestation of sport, such as never has been seen before,” M. Vidal added. The site for the stadlum has not yet been chosen definitely, but in all robability it will be on the old wall of Paris in the neighborhood of the ois de Boulogne. e ]FATHER OF ATHLETICS AT PENNSYLVANIA DEAD Henry L.

Perger is noc only an oarsman, but last fall did ' stellar work at center on Tech's foot ball téam. As an oarsman Berger tips the scales around 168 pounds,; but in foot ball ought to run up close to 180 pounds. Last spring it waa stated that Berger would enter the University of Maryland, but recently rumor has it that he is strongly con- sidering entering the University of Pennsylvania.

When he entered upon his task at| Eastern last September, Guyon found materiai scant and inexperienced, yet he developed a foot ball team that was capable in every respect. -It fin- ished “the campaign league standing bettered .by other teams, but the ecleven was the sur- prise 'of the serfes. Playing ear- nestly every minute of every game, the Easterners were troublesome. 16 all opponents. For a light team, the at- tuck was well conceived and exe- cuted and the defense always sturdy. The basket ball quint also enjoyed | a successful season, despite the fact | that it was held to a low position | in the circuit. Several good players were developed, and team work gen- | erally was of high order. The Capi- tol Hill basketers managed to balk a couple of teams striviag for the cham pionship and always made matters in- | teresting for opposing quints. A fair | buse ball team was made from a | poor lot of material. but little was done at track and fleild work because of limited facilities. o Guyon’s success was due to deep knowledge of the &ports he taught| | and a pleasing personality that quick- | 1y won the respect and admiration of | his charges. Unlike the driving type of coaches, he was patient with his squads, bui never at ny time per- mitted any shirking.

If Central acquires the new coach it is secking, physical instruction et that schocl will be under the control of two departments. There will be & physical dircetor and an athletld director, accordjng to the plan now under congideration. The phyaical dircctor will assume the general du- ties of that office and assist in the coaching of some of the teams, while the athletic director, besides ocoach= ing, will exercise supervision over the school's competitive schedules. While new here, this scheme has been employed for several years and found successful at prominent east- orn and northern schools. It relieves the physical djrector of the responsi- bility of superifitending the work of student team inanagers, a really formidable task, and permits more in- tensive coaching of the various ath< letic squads.. Under its present sys- tem Central has pointed the way to other schools for years in athletics.
