Chances that the monotonous string

the tenth Olympiad, might bo broken

Every Olympic record approached
by tile wayfarers of the waterways

competition of the fifth day gave no
Indication of a letup. Three world's

ROCKFORD, HI. OP) Two old "war

Egan and Charles "Chick" Evans, will
give the 1932 Western amateur golf
championship a thrill when the white

These two veterans, who have
