June 23, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 17 Purple Athletes in Final Tryouts for Olympic Games Twelve Northwestern university ath- letes aspiring for positions on the United States Olympic team, made ready this week to journey to their respective tryout centers where the final selections of men are to be made. Coach Tom Robinson will take four swimmers to Detroit this week to par- ticipate in the trials which are to be held in that city. Wally Colbath, Na- tional Collegiate fancy diver, has al- ready won his position on the team at the diving trials held in San Francisco several weeks ago. Al Schwartz, holder of the Western Conference 220 yard free style title, will endeavor to win a place in the 400 meter event. Dick Hinch, a Na- tional Collegiate champion in the back stroke, will compete in the 100 meter back stroke trials. Don Peterson, a freshman who has displayed consider- able ability, will participate in the 200 vard breast stroke event. Eddie Len- nox, sophomore, will also compete in the breaststroke. Four Northwestern wrestlers will participate in the final tryouts to be held at Grand Rapids, Mich., July 4, 5 and 6. Coach Stuteville will go with the men. Ralph Lupton, National Col- legiate 123 pound champion, is con- ceded an excellent chance of making the grade barring injuries between now and the tryouts. George LaFavour, a freshman in the same weight, also shows much promise as does Bob Miller, another freshman who com- petes in the 145 pound division. Another quartet of athletes will go east for the final track tryouts in Philadelphia and Boston July 3 to 7. Rut Walter will compete in the 400 meter trials at Philadelphia July 3 and 4. This event is being held there be- cause the race is to be run in lanes and the track at Harvard is not suited to such running... The other track candidates, Droesemueller and Warne, pole vaulters, and Hermansen, sprinter, will try out at Harvard. It is not cer- tain yet whether the latter two named will make the trip, final decision to rest on their showing in practice during the next two weeks. Two members of the athletic depart- ment will attend the games at Amster- dam. K. L. "Tug" Wilson, athletic di- rector, and Frank Hill, track coach, will both be at the games. Coach Hill will take his track candidates east and will sail with the team on the Olympic boat. Max Woldenberg of 1168 Asbury avenue is away at present. He is in the east where he is at the government camp for chemical warfare where he is spending two weeks.
