Will Think q Match.

British thinkers, rebelling against

college ethletes and neglecttng the
thinkers, have proposed and arc ureing
throughout the Kingdom a "blue ribbon
for bralns," an interuniversity cont ,st
between the thinkers and students, FOR
un award of merit.
The neglect Of brains and the con.
slant lauding Of Drawn In the press Of
Britain, as well as in university cir
Giles, has called forth the protest and
the demand for recognition and reward
of the brainy men of the great schools.
Just what form the thinking match
for the championship IL to assume Is
not stated. Those who are urging the
contest plead that nine men from each
Of the great universities meet In the
contests. Whether 1t will consist Of
looking wise, or In oratory, IN written
examinations In certain subjects, tn y
do not state. The contest may take
the form of the standing long think, or
the running high think, or the two
minute handicap think, Or the long dis.
lance think.
At any rate, the proposition Is to
make the event the blue ribbon think
