Dr. Easton and by q unanimous vote ex-

seemed unable to forget the criticisms made

constant worrying for months past serionslv
affected his physical health and now greatly
Tetards his recovery.
DR.. East0n became interested In Sidney
Bell while he was under sentence of death
Tor the murder of jacobson. Before com

pastorate In Ohio, near the home of ReIl's
parents. The mother OF the man WHO was
sentenced to death wrote DIR. Easton a oiti-
ful letter asking him to look after her SON
and be with him when he died Reeominy

Over at Stanford the sturdy little quarter
back, Code, who looks about as big as n
cotton-tail rabbit and has the spring of a
rubber ball, is trying TO build up his weight.
He stands at 139 just now. but looks like a
pocket edition of John l.. Sullivan. He
came TO town few days ago and for about
three hours the restaurants did landoffice

The prices OF market stuff at the COM
mission houses went up with a rush, and at
first 1t was thought that the Editorial Asso-
citation had arrived. but when it was found
that IL was only dlminutive football
player, the market took a sudden slump.
One thing, however, Is troubling the
Stanfords just now, and that Is the color
which they have adopted. The red is the
emblem Of Harvard and has not been
winner. Berkeley, on the contrary, has
the blue of Yale and with 1t has added a
little gold. 1t claims it will make no differ
