December Z'l, 1929 WILMETTE LIPE of polo tournaments to be held during the exposition months. · Major L. R. Lohr, manager of the fair, after outlining the World's fair plan, which includes spending the greater part of the $10,000,000 now on hand for the erection of the first of the buildings, appointed C. H. Thurman, of the World's fair ssff, as athletic contact man to cooperate with all of the sports committees. It was decided that each committee is to prepare a budget and prepare a ~able of estimated receipts, these in turn to be submitted to the World's fair officials with a recommendation for an appropriation to finance the sports program. 17 Sound "Go Head., on Sports' Program for 1933 World's Fair The "signal to go ahead" with the plans for the athletic program of Chicago's Century of Progress · exposition was given by Col. R R. McCormick, chairman of the world's fair sports committee, at a luncheon meeting of the chairmen of various spo~s sub-committees, held recently at the Palmer House. "I have been purposely sitting on the enlid and throwing cold water on the _ thusiasm of some of our ·sports committee members who wanted action because I did not want to be responsible in any way for causing people to come here in 1933 until I was sure in my own mind that the \Vorld's fair was going to be staged on the scale originally planned," declared Colonel McCormick in opening the meeting. Assured of Succeaa "Ambassador Charles G. Dawes, who headed the movement that has made more than $10,000,000 available for the preliminary building, and his brother, Rufus C. Dawes, president of the fair, have convinced me that the success of the fair is assured; and so, this meeting was called, really, in order to give the signal to go ahead with our sports plans." Pointing out that Sheldon Clark, newly-elected president of the Chicago Stadium, who is chairman of the sub-committee on motor boats, had been the most persistent of those who had been demanding action on the World's fair sports program, Colonel McCormick asked Mr. Clark to state some of his ideas for the others present. "Wonderful advertising value could be obtained for the city," Mr. Clark declared, "by naming a motor boat "Miss Chicago" and sending it around the country to all regattas staged between now and 1933. "Last year, in Detroit, more than 500,000 people saw the motor boat races on one day, and I am sure that we could attract a larger crowd than that at the World's fair." Want Great Grid Games Alonzo A. Stagg, chairman of the intercollegiate football committee, stated he thought it would be more advisable to stage he big football games on the fair's program in the fall of 1933 than to have them played in the fall of '32. "It seems possible that we could get a great many teams to come here from the outside if we could give them sufficiently large guarantees," Mr. Stagg declared. "The city is large enough to carry three football games if the teams are good enough to draw, and we could use the three available stadiums, NorthChicago's, and Soldiers' western's, Field." According to Avery Brundage, president of the N' ational A. A. U ., who is chairman of the sub-committee appointed to arrange the pentathlon: " ... we must start to work at once if we are to give an international flavor to our Wold's fair games. Africa is Interested "Already they are after us in Africa, Sweden and Greece for details of our athletic program and we must lose no time in preparing detailed plans abroad to countries which we h~ to have send their athletic teams here in 1933." Harry G. Goelitz, chairman of the sub-committees on marathon and equestrian sports, suggested creating interest in the marathon by staging preliminary races between various national clubs and socirties in Chicago. According to H. M. Scott, chairman of the sub-committee on trap shooting, Chicago is practically assured of having the national trap shooting tournament staged here during the fair. · Paul Butler, chairman of the subcommittee on polo, outlined the possibilities HOME FOR HOLI·DAYS Gilbert Osgood, who is attending the -Harvard law school, Cambridge, Mass., is passing the Christmas holidays with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Roy C.
