Walter, a veteran of Britain's cricket and football fields, comes to the United States as a student of the American Way. He wants to learn all about this country's sports and skyscrapers. In his candid opinion, the whole thing is in rather bad taste. Fist fights, pop bottle brawls and general attempted mayhem are unheard of in England. In fact, should a cricket player go so far as to shove an umpire, he would be banished from the game for life. He would become an outcast, a social pariah and a thing of evil. Football in England isn't quite so Ley-smit- ttyjes a Fox-Squirre- An Irishman entered a ticket office one day and inquired the fare to Chicago. "Ten dollars," returned the clerk, "but we are making a special rate today. We'll sell you a round-triticket for fifteen dollars." What do you "A round-trip- ? mean?" puzzled the Irishman.

The visiting Britisher cited an instance or two where the official was roughly handled by a team. In every case the football association secretary (an absolute dictator) closed the grounds for two or three weeks. Which meant a tremendous finan cial loss to both clubs. He also advanced the information that a pop bottle thrower would be bunged up by the crowd before the police could slap him in jail. Which is decidedly not the Ameri tan Way! When tn RENO.

A. U. meet. On two only did the Notre Dame c tain run for records. The first time was when he attempted to set a world mark for the mile and a half distance. He missed by two seconds in the 1938 exhibition. The second time was when Coach Nicholson decided to build confidence in his star. Nicholson ordered Rice to run a certain pace against Michigan State at East Lansing this year. Rice tore home in 9:06.4, shattering his own national intercollegiate record of 9:10, which he had established a few weeks earlier at the Drake relays. His best time for the 3,000 meters run is only 7.7 seconds behind Paavo Nurmi's world record. Rice's most beautiful exhibition of running came this year at the Drake relays, when, on the first day, he e shaved .6 second off Lash's record in 9:10. The next day he came back to run the mile in 4:12.5 e with the relay team, and e e with the 1:54.6 in the team. The marks were the best of his career. It's not an easy task to keep an eye on his twinkling toes, but it Coach will be well worth while. John Nicholson will see to it that he's in the best of condition for next year's Olympic tryouts. And with a heart that must occupy the largest part of his under-size- d chassis, Captain Gregory Rice is a man to watch. i :ul Ther is no natural phenomena anywhere to compare to the Giant' Causeway, on the northern coast of Ireland, with ita piled masses of hexagonal rocks, a gigantic and fantastic honeycomb in stone.

That these native sons were able to make such an outstanding showing is remarkable in that only a few years ago, skiing was something an American saw in news reels or travelogues. A few enthusiasts, of course, had long been interested in the sport. But they were in a distinct, and scarcely heard, minority. During the past few years U. S. athletes have had opportunity to avail thetnse'v'es of more widespread skiing facilities. Their fondness and aptitude for the sport was evinced by the results of the Mt. Hood tournament.
