a man waving his hat so he slowed

apartment. The car was slowing
down to allow them to enter when
Duncan attempted to board the front
end and was knocked into the ditch.

occupants on the car got off expecting
to pick the man up badly injured.

0skaloosa Boy Making Efforts Felt
In Y. M. C. A. Work.

A special article published in the
Sunday papers from Lake Geneva
where the summer conference of the
Western College Y. NJ. C. A. has been

In track events Iowa carried off
everything, getting ten firsts out of
fourteen events. In base ball the
Iowa nine easily defeated the faculty
but were defeated by the fast Illinois
nine in the fastest game of the sea
son, by a score of to 3.
Iowa won first in every event but
the discus, hammer and two-mile run.
This is an exceptionally strong record
and one that will not be forgotten by
the Iowa delegation for some time.
The Iowa delegation was the largest
that. has ever represented the state
and it came near getting the banner
another year. The large increase in
the attendance of the Illinois Y. NJ, c.
A. which made big increase over
last year alone made Iowa second.
The success of the Iowa men is due
largely to the work and the contin-
ued effort OF Ross Hadley, son of DR..
