Those who are directing the information

without revealing too fully their merits

The team has six weeks for preparatory
practice before sailing.

actually won this title, Colorado College
is the only other school that could trouble
it and Colorado sporting critics give Boul-
Ger the odds
Everything points TO bitterly contested
meet and it is probable that the relay will
be the deciding event. The records of the
men on both teams puts the contestants
of todays meet on d par
The Boulder men arrived last night on
a delayed train and did not get settled
until midnight. They declare that they
are determined to win and recover the
glory they lost on the gridiron last fall.
The Utah men are equally confident and
all are in the pink of condition for the big
meet.
Great Interest Taken.
This will be the first opportunity for
the public To sec the home team in d
great contest.
Much interest is centered in Brinton-
Maddock's new wonder at the sprints and

in all of these events. There may be
some controversy regarding the events.
In the contract Maddox says he speci-
fled only the events that are used i'm the
regular Utah dual meets. This excludes
the two-mile and the discus. Boulder
maintains that the two-miie is TO be one
of the events and has brought man TO
run this race. The officials will he agreed

STATE OF AFFAIRS

A one-lsged man was in town
last week soliciting aid from the
people Of this section with which
to purchase an artificial limb.
He told that on the 18th Of last
June he was operating a moving
machine on = Carson Valley ranch,
the name Of which he did not
know, and met with an accident
which caused the loss of his leg.
From q careful investigation We
learn that but one ranch in the
Valley was emitting hay as early
as that date, and no accident oc-
cured on that farm. While the
cause for which the unfortunate
man solicited funds was q worthy
one, yet to victimizs the public
with falsehoods to accomplish his
purpose, would lead to the theory
that he is a faiksr.

The biggest National convention
Of the year will be the Fifteenth
National Irrigation Congress that
convenes in SacramentoI in Seq
tember' 1t is confidently antici-
pated that the attendance Of dele
gates will reach three thousand.
This IL more than double the num-
Der present at any previous meet
of the body. The congress will be
also the most representative in the
history Of the organization. The
delegates include the Vice-Presi
dent of the United States, members
of the Presidents Cabinet, Senators
and Representatives in the FEEDER
al Congress, from nearly every
state in the Union. In addition
to these representatives OF the
National Government, Governors
OF States, legislators, State officials,
and municipal officers from every
important center in the United
States are among the members Of
the same body. There is not an
organization of National promi-
nence in the country that will be
unreprerented in this great con-
vention. Educational, Profession
al and commercial associations and
institutions will send delegates. No
unofficial National convention in
the United States approaches this
in the broad scope of its purpose
and the distinguished personnel
OF its membership.
