OFFERS GOOD ADVICE FOR
IMPROVING SANDY ROADS

An interesting article on Sandy
Roads has been prepared by Arthur
r. Hirst, highway engineer for the
state of Wisconsin, in which he gives
many valuable suggestions on how to
improve sandy roads. He says in part;
wisconsin has many miles of sandy
roads. The more they are kept after
the better they are. They should be
made either fiat or lower in the center
than at the sides and trees and under
brush should be allowed to grow as
near the road as possible. as they help
to retain the moisture. For temporary
of sandy roads layer of
cut straw, leaves, shavings or any ma
terial that will accumulate and retain
moisture and offer some resistance to
the wheels is of benefit, but for
permanent Improvement clay
should be mixed with the sand in
proper proportions. In preparing the
sand road for the clay give it shape
so that when the clay has been added
it will have a crown. Having crowned
the road the clay should be spread upon
it to a depth of from six to eight inches
in the center and tapering to two or
three inches on the sides,

SOMETHING WRONG"
IS TAD JONES' CRY

NEW HAVEN, March 7.-"There has
been something radically wrong with
Yale baseball in past years" declared
Capt. Tad Jones of the Eli team in a
speech to $50 candidates recently,
which created a sensation in the uni
versity. He scored the policy and
management of former teams and laid
down the law for the coming season.
In part Jones said:
In former years it has been said
that candidates for the nine didn't get
a fair show. This year every man
will get a trial and the square deal
Strict training has not been enforced
on former teams. This year we are
going to go into training Just as strict
as that required for football, and any
man caught violating the rules. no
smoking, no drinking, no late hours
will be dropped. He may be the best
hitter, the best fielder, the best pitcher
or my best friend, but he goes, who
ever and whatever he is.
I'VE are going out with the one idea
of licking Harvard and Princeton. In
recent years we have had just as much
baseball ability as Harvard and Prince
ton, and it wasn't ability that was
lacking then: IL was spirit"
Capt. Jones announced that baseball
practice would start next Monday in
the cage for all players. Walter Camp
also spoke to the men, who cheered
Jones to the echo.

ILLINOIS HUNTER WILL
BREED WILD TURKEYS

CARLYLE, ILL.,, March 1.-Years ago
wild turkeys were abundant in the
dense timber lands of the state, espe-
cially in the bottoms of the Kaskaskia
river, and the expert hunter expert
enced no trouble in killing ALI he could
carry.
The birds were quite plentiful even
ten years ago, but a decided decrease
has been noted since. There are still
a few scattered flocks lin the timber,
and the true sportSmen assist the game
department in the protection of the
same, but the increase is not rapid.
The disappearance of the timber and
natural ranges for the big birds has
much to do with the shortage, yet
there is plenty of room for. breeding
and feeding places. This being the
case, several local sportsmen are going
to try an experiment. In a central
part of the timber there are several
wild turkey gobblers, and the intention
is to supply them with mates.
These turkey hens will be bought
from some farmer, taken to the tim
Der, and released near where the COB
blers range. Any person familiar with
the habits of the two varieties, the
wild and tame, know the tame ones
will readily get wild after associating
with the other variety. The project
ors of this propagating movement are
confident that the gobblers will soon
find the tame hens, which will result
in an increase of this rare bird. If it
is successful. several dozen turkeys,
both gobblers and hens, will be liber-
ated during the fall months.
Farmers living near timber land often
lose their turkeys because of their de-
sire to roam over the shaded bottom
lands. These incidents were of more
frequent occurrence many years ago.
since the wild ones would often entice
the tame ones away.

ALFRED ScHRUBB IS
WONDERFUL ATHLETE

When a man demonstrates his SUI
periority athletically over every other
man of his day the world sits up and
takes notice, and when he is able to
do something better than any other
man who ever lived could do it, he is
looked upon as a marvel. That is
what Alfred Schrubb is. He is run
ming marvel--the greatest, so far as
known by records, that ever lived. He
holds all the worlds records from 1000
yards to eleven miles.
Schrubb is 20 years old, stands feet
z inches in height, and weighs In con-
dition about 118 pounds. He has been
running for ten years, and seems to
be now at his best. He attributes his
success as an athlete to hard training
and q clean life.
"I never train unless 1 feel like it, ="
says Schrubb. There is where many
men who do train hard make mis-
take. They go out and work when
they are not feeling just right, and the
work does them more harm than GOOD.
When / do train / work just as hard
as though We're In a race. Six miles
is what I generally take for a work.

here do. I run and run hard"
Schrubb, who has been in this coun-
try since last spring, sailed for home
recently. While his trip was finan-
cial success, he goes back without real
izing the object of his visit he having
failed to get on a match with the In
dian runner, Longboat the only man
in this country thought to be good
enough to give Schrubb race. Long
boat declined to meet Schrubb for the
reason that he still hopes to be al

POMONA WINS
FROM OCCIDENTAL
FAST TIME AND GOOD RECORDS
MARK MEET
Wieman and Archie Kellogg Prove
Surprises in Their Events-sIoane
Kills Time in Century
Sprint

Just as was expected by the Pres
byterians themselves, Occidental coll
lege lost the track meet to Pomona
yesterday afternoon by q total score
of 46 to rs.
Perhaps the feature of the meet was
the performance of Archie kellogg in
winning the 220-yard dash from Brow
er, his hated rival, with fighting
finish. The little prep was crowded
out Of his alley on the last turn after
leading by nose for most of the dis
lance, and for a moment Brewers
chances looked the best. until kellogg
spurted up on the last twenty-five
yards anG grabbed the first place.
Wieman proved another surprise by
beating Fred Thomson and Sturgeon
in the high hurdles. Spurgeon was
rated sure first for Pomona, but the
big Occidental freshman outstripped
the two favorites to the tape in the
good time of lie 1-5. Spurgeon, how
ever, regained his form in the low bar
riers and waded past his field without
trouble.
Fast time and records marked the
events throughout and although the
winners were ahead by a good margin
there was nothing one-sided about the
contest to detract from it's interest. A
large delegation of Pomona noise en-
thusiasts helped their representatives
along toward victory and the Presby-
terrain team was supported by almost
the entire student body of Occidental.
Coach Goheea stated that his can
didates brought out their own weak
points, which he will try to strengthen
before the next meets of the inter-
collegiate conference.
