t ;.T Big This year the university section fur- nished the most thrilling battle ever staged in the west, that being between the teams of University of Wisconsin and University of Michigan in the four mile event. When it was over, the Wisconsin team, which won, had raced over four miles, three-fifths of a second faster than the famous Oxford team which won the event at the Penn: games, and Michigan team had stepped the distance faster than any Michigan team ever did in the Penn games, and Michigan has won the long distance event at Penn five times. The Wiscon- sin team also was within nine and two- fifths seconds of the college record for the distance, made by the Cornell team, when John Paul Jones and "Tell" Berna were the co-ordinate running stars of the entire college world. As predicted the field for this event was the largest the event ever wit- nessed, nine teams starting, while six of the nine were so good that they bettered the former western record. As if this were not enough for one day's sport, the Purdue team came so close to the world's record in the two mile that both the Michigan and Illi- nois supporters, whose teams hold the record jointly heaved a sigh of relief, when it was announced that the Pur- due men had missed the record a sec- ond and a fifth. Then Chicago took a full second off the April record for the half mile, and a little later took a second off the Drake record for the mile, but were disqualified for not carrying their bat- on. It is of interest here to note that the Missouri team, which finished sec- ond, ran the fastest mile ever credited, to a team from west of the Mississippi river. Dismond Stars Harvard, Pennsylvania, Princeton and Others Help Abroad Michigan is one of several American institutions of learning to support mis- sionary activities in foreign lands. Harvard and Pennsylvania universit- ies undertake only medical mission work. Most of the colleges engaged in mis- sionary work concentrate their ener- gies upon Asia, and do not confine their activities to medical work. Princeton is doing work at Peking; Syracuse is sending graduates to Tien- tsin; McGill University at Montreal sends alumni to Ceylon; Wisconsin is active in the Christianizing of Tokio; Illinois sends workers to Montevideo; Iowa State to Manila; Kansas to India; North Carolina to Iangchow; and Dartmouth to Nardin in Turkey. INTERCOLLE( IATE -0- a Cornell seniors have pledged nearly $5,000 as a memorial to the university. -o- Women of Cornell have organized a monthly publication which they hope to establish permanently. The name has not been decided upon although the first issue will appear early next fall. -o- Because of the death of the presi- dent, Elmira college students have de- cided to suspend all social activities for the remainder of the college year. -0- Vanderbilt's biblical department, heretofore conducted as- a separate M. E. theological college, is soon to become a non-sectarian and indepen- dent school of religion. -0- An addition to accommodate several hundred thousand Volumes is to be built on the Penn library this summer. The donation for the building is a memorial to the late Dr. H. L. Duhr- ing. o_._ - By canvassing for the intended oc- cupations of seniors at Amherst, stat- isticians have found that the majority of graduates enter upon a business career. The following data was gath- ered: OTHER COLLEGES All) 1 Outside of the four mile battle, the real feature of the meet was the run- ning of Dismond of Chicago. His work also demonstrated the class of the Drake track if the other events of the day had not established this beyond a question. Running in the last lap of the final event of the day, after almost 400 athletes had trailed after each other around the Drake track, leaving it in anything but the best of shape, this colored marvel reeled off 440 yards in the official time of 48 2-5, while three unofficial watches caught him in 48 1-5. The latter time, if correct, is the fastest time ever clock- ed over a runner in the west. He at least made a better record over the Drake track than did the great Daven- port, when he was in the height of his glory. Another. mark which demonstrated the class of the competition and of the conditions was that of Carroll, the final runner for Michigan, who in his battle to pass and his struggle to keep ahead of Harvey of Wisconsin, made the four turns of the track in 4:23 2-5, the next to the fastest mile ever step- ped on a track in the Missouri valley.' Harvey, with a slight lead in the be- ginning of the mile and with a lesser one at the ending also, ran the distance under 4:25. The two mile did not bring forth a.great performance while in the university and college half mile several men made the 220 yards in even 22 seconds, exceptional marks when it is considered that as run in the relays, the distance is almost com- pletely on a curve. The first move of the Drake alumni athletic club for a "bigger and better" meet for next year, was the sending of John L. Griffith to the Penn games, this being an attempt on the part of the Drake alumni to partly repay him for the large amount of extra work done in the promotion of the carnival. Business .............

Enoch Arden, recognized in the depths of his broken heart that no one was at fault, quietly withdrew. That action was heroic, all agree, and is graphically shown in the four-part 1utual Masterpicture "Enoch Arden," which is based on Lord Ten- nyson's poem and will be shown this week at the Majestic theater, Tuesday, May 4. Annoying "Jinks" Has Pursued Maltby from Start of Ball Season --- Just as soon as a certain youth named Maltby, successfully shakes an1 annoying "jinx" that has been pur- suing him rather persistently all sea- son, Michigan baseball fans. are going, to see some real clouting from the elongated first sacker. The big guardian of station numberI one, has been walloping the ball right on the nose all season, but has been extremely unfortunate. Time after time, he has poled screaming liners to the outfield, but always right at some poor unfortunate outfielder who has clutched the ball and thus averted sud- den death. Such luck cannot continue forever and when it turns, the big boy is going to be a nightmare to the luckless box- men who see him stalking up to the plate with the cushions populated. Members of the team aver that, on the southern trip, Maltby was connect- ing regularly, and slapping the ball right on the spot that usually spells "hit," but luck was against him. Every ball player experiences times when a run of bad luck directs his efforts squarely into some one's hands, but these do not continue forever. In the Kalamazoo game, on his first appearance at the plate, Maltby smash- ed one over second, that was traveling with enough velocity to muss up four German regiments, but it went square- ly into the right fielder's hands and that individual scarcely had to move. He couldn't have. If the ball had gone 10 feet either side it would have been an easy triple, and the lads from Kala- mazoo 'would have had to do some tall hustling to hold Maltby at the three- quarter station. The second time up, he belted a wicked liner down the first base line, but the Normal first baseman made one of the feature plays of the after- noon fray, and Maltby was minus an- other perfectly good and well-earned safety. Maltby was one of the three men on the Michigan team Koob didn't set down on strikes. Waltz and Sisler were the others,r and Sisler-oh well, everyone knows about that George of ours. The luck will have to change, and when it does, keep your eye on Malt- by's hitting. He's got the goods. Produced by the makers of Cabiria x-{ .U
