IN CONGRESS a. YEARS

Washington, March 4-Senator
William Boyd Allison of Iowa, has
entered upon his eightieth year,

history Of the nation, but he has
the distinction of being the oldest
member of that body with one ex-
ception. The exception in Senator

his eighty-fourth year. If Senator
Allison outliveS his present term,
which will end just one year from
now, he will have served A years

High School Athletic AssoCia-
ton May Give Musical
Comedy to Lift 1t.
1T WOULD PROVE POPULAR.

The executive board Of the Rich
mond high school athletic association
will hold meeting the latter part Of
this week for the purpose OF making
arrangements for raising Il fund TO en-
able the high school basket ball team
to get out Of debt The debt was ac
crued in the last game with the Rush
vile team, on account of the support
on the part of the students.
1t is probable that the committee
will make arrangements by which q
musical comedy play will be given and
the receipts turned over to the athletic
association. 1t is very probable that
If such a play should be given, it
would prove very popular, as there are
a number of students at the school
who have good voices and have had ex-
perience in the line.

Game Attracts Attention.
The game Friday night is drawing
all attention at present. The Quak-
ers feel that in the Rose Poly team
they have foemen worthy of their
steed and will exert all energy to de-
feat the engineers.
The new lineup of the Earlham five
has proved to be the best that has
been tried this season. Chambers
plays a better game at center than he
did at forward and Wilson, showed up
to forward has more chances at the
goal than he did in the back field. The
entire lineup for Friday night will be

Coach Vail Talks.
Coach Vail, when interviewed this
morning said, The boys know that in
going up against Rose POly'they go up
against the swiftest team they have
played this year but instead of this
discouraging them, it has made them
all the more eager to meet the engi-
neers.' The entire student body will
lend its support in the way of songs,
yells and banners and this will aid
much toward a decided victory

The style used by the High Jump
ers is copied after the so called
Sweeney method by which he cleared
6 feet, 52s inches as against the
scissor" style in which no one has
ever gone higher than feet, 10 inch
es
In jumping by this method the con
testant runs straight at the bar and
after he starts his leap, does some
aerial contortions, which enables him
to clear the bar with the least eleva-
ton. in fact he just skins the bar
and appears at the moment of cross
ing to be lying fiat. This feat appears
very dangerous but is in reality per-
fectly safe. The pole vaulter, howev-
err must keep his balance when he
drops, OF receives some nasty falls.
This is a very spectacular event.
