than the usual number of tragedies.
Nine high school and five college
players were killed and five amateur

case was that of a Cleveland, O., high

American athletic leaders are con-1
cerned these days, and rightly so, with!
the prospects of the Americans win-
ning the Olympic games next year in
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
new stars have been developed who C
should strengthen the weak parts of
the team.
Four years ago Murchison and Pad-1

cipal hopes. Now Leconey, Lovejoy,
