Some of 'America's greatest sport writers have written articles on the worth of the four Utahns in track hnd field suits. Butthe real publicity will come when tho Utahns romp home with honors at the Olympic trials and later at the games at Antwerp. Carl, ("Stubby") Peterson, new mentor men-tor for the Ogden Tigers, has sent out advance Information to the effect that Ogden will be in tho lime light in athletics during tho 1920-21 seasons.

Melvin Snelgrove and Lester Jarvis will hold down regular positions on the Rexburg club in the Snake River-Yellowstone league. Carl Peterson, otherwise oth-erwise known, as "Stubby," will be one of the outfielders. If Sayman Kerr of the "U" or Lyman Ly-man ("Bunk") Brown of the "Y" schools break either the mile or half-mile half-mile state intercollegiate records this spring, they will bo sent to the Olympic Olym-pic trials at Pasadena by Shit Lake fans, according to word received in Ogden today.
