I took Her to Lunch Last a4 Company A, First regiment, qual- ified for the finals in the relay event to be run off next Saturday when their team defeated the representa- tives of company B, First regiment, yesterday afternoon in Waterman gym. The winners ran the half mile in the good time of 1 minute 42 3-5 seconds. ~ The victor's team consisted of Bar- ringer, Meese, Ullman, Lamont and Johnston, while the company B team was made of Haley, Bodman, Lumby, Gilman, and Bauer. The company A team will meet the winners of one of the other matches to be run off dur- ing the week in the finals. Their time yesterday was better than all but one of the marks made in the preliminary meet last Saturday. Com- pany C, Second regiment, ran the re- lay in 1 minute, 41 4-5 seconds and it looks as if this record would be a hard one to better. TO FLOAT $x,00,000,660 IN THIRD LIBERTY LOAN That the Third Liberty Loan to be floated April 6 will probably amount to not less than five billion dollars, is the substance of the monthly financial letter issued by the National City bank of Chicago. The bonds of this loan will most likely bear a four per cent ,interest rate. The establishment of a War Finance corporation for the purpose of assist- ing corporations whose activities are .necessary to the operation of the war, is now being considered by Congress in connection with the Third Loan. ,The workings of this body will be un- der the supervision of the Federal Re- serve board and will be concerned es- .pecially with securing capital for nec- essary war industry. SITUATION IN RUSSIA OUTLINED TO MENORAII --She was enjoyed ---------------------------------- Play Better on Foreign Courts The men seem tb play better bask- etball on foreign courts than on the one in Waterman gymnasium. This can, in some measure, be accounted for by the fact that most of the other floors are larger than is the one here and it allows the men more opportun- ity to use teamwork. Much improvement has been made over the game put up in the early part of the season, excepting in the battle with Chicago. The dribble has been learned the past few months and this, although causing many fouls through lack of perfection, has great- ly improved the work of the team on offense. On the defense the quintet has always been fairly strong through the work of Captain Boyd, French Captain to Address Cercle Captain Dutoit, a member of one of the more recent French military com- missions to come to this country, will speak to the Cercle Francais tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock.
