The past gridiron season had more
than the usual number of tragedies.
Nine high school and five college
players were killed and five amateur
and professional players met their
deaths. Probably the most unusual
case was that of a Cleveland, O., high
school player, who died of strangul-
ation during a game at Willoughby,
O., when he swallowed a chew of to-

his lane.
Another bright and likely navigator
for future'"Varsity swini.ning teams,
Sampson, Phi Kappa Sigma, was un-

to Wittingham. 011, Theta Chi, was
the next to complete the race, gain-

Beatty.
One of the events which had been
looked forward to with much anticipa-

American athletic leaders are con-1

the prospects of the Americans win-

Paris.
It will be recalled that while the Un-
ited States colors fluttered at the top
of the pole three years ago in Ant-
werp, America's usually over-whelm-
ing supremacy was threatened by thel
Finnish runners and athletes of one
or two other European countries.
However, America's prospects seem
brighter for the games next summer
In the three years that have elapsed
