Show TRACK MEETS 10 BE BY TELEGRAPH Basketball Golf, Tennis and Other Sports Are Being Stimulated. SAN FRANXISCO, March 24 The plan inaugurated by two Colorado universities uni-versities to hold a series of track meets throughout the spring und summer, sum-mer, in which each team will compete on its home track, presents the possibility possi-bility of East versus West track and field meets without the necessity of taking long transcontinental tours. For instance, on the supposition that Yale in New Haven und Stanford university uni-versity in California are competing, should Stanford s three shot-putters register 46, 4o and 42 feet as against Yale'6 46 2, 44 and 41, this would give Yale a first, Stanford a second and third places. Thus in all of the field events there would bo no trouble experienced ex-perienced out of the ordinary. In the case of the sprints and runs, however, in order, to gjt tho times of the men other than the winner. It would be necessary nec-essary to have timers for the second and third men in each event. That these dual "telegraphic" meets staged simultaneously In two widely separated sections of the country are feasible and would promote much interest in-terest Is the concensus of opinion among such sport followers as have given the matter consideration. "Telegraphic ' chess and checker tournaments, as well as bowling matches match-es already are of common occurrence. Dr. J. Fred Bohler, director of athletics ath-letics of the State College of Washington, Wash-ington, at Pullman, who also Is a member of the basketball rules committee com-mittee of the National Collegiate Athletic Ath-letic association, has picked an all-coast all-coast basketball team and also an all-northwest all-northwest basketball team for an east ern sporting magazine. Dr. Bohler's selections follow: All-Coast Basketball Team Price, W. S. C, forward; Sieberts. O. A. C, forward; Hjelte, U. of California, center; cen-ter; Bohler, W. S.

The Washington SLate college team I won the i-hinnpiunsliip of the- northwest north-west this season and tied with University Uni-versity of California for the championship champion-ship of the Pacific coast conference. With the approach of better golfing i weather than this winter s unusual j snows have provided, and with the announcement of the dates for the Colorado tournament made recently, golfers all over the state are polishing up their Irons and painting up the veteran vet-eran gutta-percha used last season in preparation for a spring and summer of practice for entrance into the Colo- rado contest.
