Brown. Chlcag-o, member Of the committee, favors the selection or a coach from every section of the na tion that is to have candidates for the team. He suggests the appointment of a head Coach and trainer to be helped by a staff Of assistants who are familiar with the men who v. ill be selected to keep the world's athletic supremacy In America. The committee, faced by more ursrent buBlneSH in arranRlnc (he frennlnarl-;F. has not given much thought to the se lection of a coach. The ervir-ep of a team coach, the committee believes, are not Imperative until the time just pre ceding; the selection of the team. However, moat of the Olympic talk now concerns the candidates tor the trainer's posit ton. Numerous eligible are being recommended by their sec tlonal following;.

Maloney. coach of Ice land Stanford university. California, who trained the Yankee team for the Inter-Dallied games in Paris, is another favorite- Jack Moakley of Cornell and "Pooch" Donovan ot Harvard and Bill Hayward of Oregon likewise are being mentioned. "Evidently we have more trainers for the team than we have athletes," Secre tary Rubien of the A. A. U. said a few days ago. "I have had more inquiries about the trainer's Job than anything else in connection with the -team. It seems to me that It if a secondary mat ter to the selection of the athletes and the financing of the trip to Belgium. WILL TRAIN AT HOME "Most of the men selected will train at their homes until a short time be fore the date of Balling and the length of time they will have over there will be so (short before the opening of the pame that they will not need a trainer. No member of the team will wait until he arrives in Belgium to get into con dition. "When discussing the subject of the trainer's importance to a team it will be well to consider that some of the best athletes in the Olympic games of the past never had a professional trainer. Kor instance, who taught Almah Rich ards to Jump? He learned the game himself, as well as Hannes Kohlemalnen. the Finn ; Jean T?ouin. the Frenchman, and Arnold Jackson, who won the 1500 meter run."

The Marine and the Wide World At the moment you are readlnsr this there is hardly a country on earth where there are not United States Marines, doing- men's work yea. and playing, too, as real men play storing up health and memories that will last them to the end of the chapter. There are Marines down in Cuba, picturesque old Cuba, almost as Bpanish today as when the red and yellow flag of Spain floated over Morro Castle. In Haiti the queer little republic, where the colored folks speak French. Ma rines are helping to slap had little - bandits on the wrist when thev misbehave. That's life life with .

T TNIVERSITT Eugene, May 20.- OF OREGON, Both the ln- terfraternity and intercompany track meets planned to be held this term by Bill Hayward, Oregon track coach, have been postponed until next term. They will be held early in April after the beginning of the spring term, according to Hayward, who hopes to make several "finds" for the varsity and track team among the athletes who turn out for the two meets. .They were ' post poned because of the bad weather, which has kept the men from get ting into good shape until now, when examinations loom as a fea ture of next week. Hayward now has about 80 men out each evening training for the varsity and freshmen track squads. Oregon's veteran trainer Is not satisfied with the turnout, however, and is not hopeful for a banner team unless more candi dates for varsity honors put in their appearance. If the two Inter-mural meets do not bring material to light Hayward may bring his draft system into play for men. This scheme was used last year, and consists of printing all the names of men who are good track prospects but who are not turn ing out for track, in the Emerald, the student thrice a week publication. Candidates for field positions are better than those for the track. A sur vey of the material shows the Oregon crew sadly devoid of certain point win ners. This year's varsity will be made up almost entirely of new men. All hurdle events and the distance races will be weak, according to present Indi cations. Hayward will issue an order shortly for the squad of freshmen and varsity team contenders which he will select to stay in Eugene during spring vaca tion In order to train for the Columbia meet held in Portland April 10. HEAVY SCHEDULE IS ARRANGED FOR OREGON TOSSERS TTN1VKKSITT OF OREGON. Eugene, U March 20. The Oregon baseball team will have the heaviest schedule of games this spring that It has had for many seasons according to the tentative schedule which Is now arranged and which n ail probability will be carried out Eighteen conference games have been scheduled in addition to a week of practice games which will be played with the Moose Jaw team of the West ern Canadian league which will hold spring training In Eugene during, the week of April 8 to 16. Eight of the conference games will be played In Eu gene and ten of them on other diamonds. Most of the games to be played away from Eugene will be held in April, leav ing the contests scheduled for Eugene to be played in May. A northern trip calling for game with the University of Washington, Washington State college, University of Idaho and Whitman Will be taken the latter part of next month, the first games with the University of Washings ton nine to take place on April 3 ana 24 at Seattle. On April 26 and 27 the team will meet the Idaho nine at Mos cow, and on April 28 and 29. Washing ton State will furntsht the opposition at Pullman. April 30 and May 1 will see the varsity Walla Walla, Wash., where the Whitman college team will be met. Stanford Is taking a northern trip this season and will play here on May S and j 4. Washington State will De nere on May 7 and 8 and the O. A. C. team will play their annual games with the varsity here on May 13 and 14, as a part of the amusement for Junior week-end. On May 19 and 20 the University of Wash ington team will arrive here for a two game series on May 21 and 22. Oregon's conference schedule will end with a final two-game series with the O. A. C. team played In Corvallls following the I other conference games of both teams. Continual rains have hindered out door practice for the past week. Weather conditions permitted the sec ond outdoor practice of the year to be held yesterday. About 30 candidates are out for the team but with continued good weather and outdoor practice. Coach Huntington expects the number tn IncreasA He in verv nntimlstlc con- ! cernlng Oregon's prospects this season. He has a large pitching staff to select his tossers from, besides a number of former varsity team members out for every position except catcher. The lat ter position Is causing no worry, how- ever, as there are a numoer or ; good prospects bidding for the back ' stop position. to be a Marine. You see, a Ma rine lives on and near the water so much that he's web footed, and where there's salt water there are fish. And in tropical waters thcr are fish such as fish stories are made of fish and turtles that would make a New York chef weep for Joy. And game! How would It be If this morning we had started on a hunting- leave way up into China in search of deer or bear? Or sup pose we were ' guarding Uncle Sam'B big ditch at Panama and got leave to go out and pot a Jaguar to make somebody a leop ard skin coat? Home Life of the Marines No Marine ever seems to stay In one place loner enough to get rusty. When he Is not just off for for eign ports or just coming home from service abroad, he 1r on one of the big battleships which are ' always on the move from one port to another. Today he may be In Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and the next hound for France or Con stantinople, or goodness knows where. And when he's on duty In the States he may be at any one of a number of interesting places Quantico. the station just out of Washington: the League Island Navy Yard, at Philadelphia: the Brooklyn Navy Yard, at New York; or he may be at San Diego, In sunny California, or Mare Island, in 5an Francisco Bay. Work Time for the Marine The Marine's life Is not all play. There's work to be done. But it's a man's work and interesting. There are short, snappy drills that teach a'man to be on his toes. There are setting-up exercises that give a man a chest like a bar rel. There are hikes, short ones at first and gradually increasing, that teach a man to walk on his own two feet, and like It. And there's rifle practice. But that isn't work that's sport. There Is wireless telegraphy and signal work to be learned. There fs training In scouting and wood craft. Maybe you didn't know that every Marine Is a regular Robinson Crusoe when it comes to making himself comfortable in a wild country. There is artillery practice and something of sailing, rowing and seamanship. For a Marine Is a sailor as well as a soldier. But it's good work all of it. In addition .to giving a man physical ntness and mental alert ness, the Marine Corps gives plenty of opportuny for learning a trade that will mean big meney for him after his discharge. Thou sands of ex-Mar!nes have imme diately been taken into well-paying Jobs In civil life as aviators, airplane mechanics, gas engine me chanics, chauffeurs, wireless oper ators, printers, barbers, ball players, chefs, bakers, electricians, fore men, etc.. etc. An honorable discharge after two. three or four years" service in the Marines is the best letter of recoftnmendatlon any man can have.

THE International News Service, In one of its columns, gives us the following estimate, compiled by an ex pert", regarding the one predominating distinction which was to be found in the past masters of boxing named on the list: The greatest duckei" Abe Attell. The most scientific Jem Driscoll. The greatest blocker Jack Johnson. The best left-hander Jim Jeffries. The best right-hander John L. Sulli van. The bravest Kid Lavlgne. The coolest Charlie Mitchell. The foxiest Bob Fitzsimmons. The best feinter Peter Jackson. The most aggressive Terry McGov ern. The gamest Stanley Ketchel. The most pleasing in action George LMxon. The best at foot work James J. Cor- bett. The brainiest Kid McCoy. But the GREATEST FIGHTER Jack Dempsey. The honors so awarded, while no doubt righteous in the main, still give ! rise to many differing opinions. We may pass Attell, Jem Driscoll. i Jack Johnson and Jim Jeffries with their laurels uncrowned, but as soon as we come to the statement that John L. Sullivan ' was the greatest right hander, we have to pause. He had a great right hand, but not the greatest. Charley Mitchell, much smaller, with stood it for 39 rounds, Jake Kilrain faced it for 75 rounds and Jim Corbett laughed at it and beat it in 21 rounds. Nothing superlative in such perform ances by the world's greatest right hand. From Sullivan on down the list could be subjected to revision. Kid Lavlgne was by no. means the bravest, although he had the heart of an unconquered lion. Other men have faced pugilistic tasks as savage as those which Lavigne had set before him. 1 Mitchell was by no means the coolest of boxers. In his fight with Corbett at Jacksonville. Fla. he lost his head and his reputation in three rounds. Bob Fitzsimmons was probably the foxiest, but to his title of fox we might add numerous other virtues and still leave him supreme as the posseaso. of more than one strong point Peter Jackson , Is too far away for most of us to glimpse him in clear outline, but men who knew him say he was a magnificent specimen. Terry McGovern was aggressive, but there are boys who fought before and after him who were just as tornado like. In reverence we should admit that Stanley Ketchel was the gamest, for fear was as absent from him as cream Is from clabber. ' George Dixon was a piece of pugilistic poetry and as such was a pleasing as anything connected with the boxing game could be. Corbetfs foot work was and still is the despair of all boxers. j Kid McCoy was by no means the i brainiest. He was cunning, shrewd, cruel. ' i And Jack Dempsey was a great I fighter a nonpareil In his day, and It would behoove us with little grace to question his right to the title. But the list lacks many names that stand prominent in boxing memories. Wha.t about Joe Gans, the old master, who fought and whipped all sizes and weights? What are we going to do about Jack McAuliffe, by many con sidered the greatest ring general of all time? Then there was Young Griff o, the nut the cave man, who preferred a pocketful of silver and a few dollar bills for victory than oodles of yellow greenbacks. Griffo has been . called the peer of all clever men. v The list would grow as memory un rolled its pages, but what's the use of futile argument? They are all good boys named on the expert's original list, but when he gives each and every one of them a superla tive degree for some vjrtue he is tres passing on sacred grounds. Others were nearly as good as most of them In the virtues specified. AMERICA'S supremacy In boxing has been purloined ! We must bow our heads to France, the newest of- all par venues in the manly art! Press dispatches bring us this lugu brious information. We are told that When Charley Ledoux, French bantam, knocked Johnny Coulon out in six rounds before a Parisian audience the frog-eaters went wild with glee and shouted France's art of self-defense had been established as superior to anything that might be imported from Yankee land. So be it. if it be so. But brethren, be easy It ain't so, and won't' be so for a long, long time. ledoux toured America not long ago. and was beaten every time he faced one of our first class men. Still more recently he was beaten In England by a Yankee slugger. And poor little Johnny Coulon! We had him enshrined among the dead years and years ago. The last we heard of Johnny was when our own little Billy Mascott beat him fn a local ring three or iour years ago. He was much better therj than he was whem Ledoux pushed him bver. Besides, he was licked by every village bully he met between the Mascott and the Ledoux fights. No one living can recall offhand the last fight Johnny won, it has been so long ago. Cle Elum, March 17, 1920. Mr. Bob. Spoat Riter, The Journal, Ml deer sur : Your anser to ml inqueery has came. Tou ast me If mi man done enny rode wirk. Nope. He wlrked out his pole taxes when SI Simpktns was rode superviser 4 years ago, but at the last skool 'lection he voted fer Jonson and Simpklns got sore and alnt giv him no wirk on the rode since. He's sho a good fighter, tho, and hits with both hands as good as he kin with the other. He's a long winded guy, and the longer he fights, the better he gits unless he gits licked before that You ast me if he kin skip rope. Nope, and yes. He skipped a boad bill and a rope, too. once when they got after him with a rope that had a noose on the end of it. He wares glasses when he fights, so he kin git damages if ennyone hits him in the eye. He's a good man. and I pound his finger nails with a sledge hamrfier every day- to make him stand pain. Kin you git him a match? Tours trooly, ARTIE CHOAK. Dear Artie : Thanks, Artie, for the Information. Have forwarded your letter to Jack Dempsey in the form of a challenge and have asked for a reply f. o. b. wire. You no doubt have a good man. Your methods of training are a bit unusual and revolutionary, but will ultimately bring out all his finer points. He should do some road work, how ever, as road work Is splendid for his wind. If he is barred from road work there, you might get him an airship, -me of the latest make aad not guar anteed to stay up too long. Send him up every mcrning and tell . him If the bird goes flooey and stops' while he is up a few thousand feet to Jump out and see which one gets back to train ing quarters first He will get lots of wind on the return Journey. Another unusual form of training ex ercise which would fit In splendidly with your methods would be to tie one end of a rope to a tree and let the other end remain disconnected. Tell him to push violently against the disconnected end for half an hour or so, and If he has any patience left when time is up he possesses all the earmarks of a champion.
