Students of Harvard military acad-
envy yesterday afternoon at the Har-
ward field held their interclass track
meet and considerable interest was
manifested in the various events.
George Thorpe, the fast sprinter,
captured first place in the 100 and 220-
yard dashes, second place in the relay
race and third place in the broad jump.
In both the 10 and 22O-yard dashes
Thorpe always looked behind instead
of looking forward and considerable
comment was heard on both the field
and in the grandstand over his actions,
the spectators contending that by these
actions he lost ground, although he won
these events by a safe margin.
In the 100-yard dash Thorpe won in
the time of 10 3-5, the 22O in :23 rs.
Thorpe said after the meet the reason
he always was turning his head was
because he bruised one of his sides
while training and did not want to
take chances of injuring it further.
The low hurdles was won by Caruth-
ers, sophomore, and in going over
the last hurdle he fell but picked him
self up in plenty Of time to win this
event.
Heath, another sophomore, came out
victor in the high hurdles, time :16 Is.
In the mile event Valley won and he
also won the 8S0-yard run. Valley is
a fast athlete and no doubt will make
a good showing in the county meet,
which will be held on the Harvard
cinder path March 20.
The quarter mile race between Rog-
ers, a junior, and Robb, a senior, was
exciting at the finish, and was won by
Rogers by a small margin. The time
in this event was :55 3-5 seconds.
The high jump event resulted in a
tie between Whitman and Heath, who
leaped feet 8 inches. The broad jump
went to Caruthers at a distance of Is
feet ~ inches.
The relay was captured by Robb, a
senior Throop was second, and Hansen,
a sophomore, was third. Time 1:39 As
seconds.

GRABS $500 IN SATCHEL
AND ESCAPES FROM BANK
Daring Robbery Occurs in Milwaukee
While Messengers Attention
Is Diverted

MILWAUKEE,, Feb. 15.-Grabbing a
hand satchel containing $4,000 belonging
to a department store, a daring thief
today made his way out Of the First
National bank with the loot and es-
capped detection.
The robbery was committed while
the attention of a messenger boy of
the department store was diverted for
a minute. Discovery of the loss caused
a general alarm in the bank.
A hurried examination was made of
the corridors, but the thief had es-
capped.
Daniel Sullivan, aged 20, the messen-
ger, was sent to the bank with two
checks, one for $4,000, the weeks pay
roll, the other for $500. He had the
check for $4,000 cashed. The money
was placed in small hand satchel
Then Sullivan turned to have the
check for $500 cashed. He allowed the
grip with the cash to escape his at
tention for a moment, during which a
stranger grabbed the grip and left the

Pitcher Tyler Christian writes that
he is in Chicago now ready to report

81 to 20

U. S. c. won second place in the
Intercollegiate basketball race by de-
feating Pomona on the Occidental
courts yesterday afternoon by the score
of q to &c.
Probably a more even contest never
has been played in the south, and the
game was in doubt until the last min
ute of play, when the accurate eye of
Capt. Coloneus of the u. S. c. team
resulted in the one extra point in favor
of his team at the close.
U. S. G. played an uphill game from
the start and were carried off their
feet in the opening half.
With the opening of the second half
however, the Methodists took a brace
and by consistent playing managed to
tie the score just before the end OF
the session, and the foul goal by
Coloneus won the game.
Both Neuls and Lorbeer played a
good game for their team, and the
work of Capt. Coloneus was also good

PROGRAM FOR TOURNAMENT
AT NORDHOFF ISSUED
LIST OF ENTRIES LIKELY TO BE
UNUSUALLY LARGE

cided and Noted Performers
Expected from All Over
the Country

Programs for the fourteenth annual
tennis tournament at the Ojai valley
tennis courts, Nordhoff, Cal, have been
issued and April /, 2 and 3 are set as
the dates for the classic tennis event

three distinct contests. The first is the
annual Southern California interschol-
astic championship in singles and
doubles, the second an invitational
championship for girls from private
schools in California and the third the
great Ojai valley championship for all
corners.
In the first event two single players
and one double team are admitted from
each school. Eighteen schools were rep

the Los Angeles high school took the

ship in doubles.
In the all corners championship play
ers from all over the country are in
vited to contest. In 1908 Miss May

son Sinsabaugh won the championship
in the women's and mems doubles.
Two New Cups Offered

events. This year two handsome chat
lenge cups have been offered anony-
mously to the best double team of men
players Many players of prominence
are expected to attend this year. The
Misses Sutton have announced their in
tention of participating, and more en-
tries than ever are expected from the
schools.
Entries must be in by Thursday even
ing, March %, and should be sent to
the Assistant Court Manager, Thatcher
School, Nordhoff, Ventura county, Cal.
The Los Angeles high school, as usual,
is expecting to send up a strong ag-
gregation, and the Marlborough school
will also send representatives. Miss
Elizabeth Ryan Of the Marlborough
school is president of the Girls Inter-
scholastic Tennis association and Chas.
Rogers of the Los Angeles high school
is president of the Southern Salifornia
Interscholastic Tennis association.
Undoubtedly Tom Bundy, Simpson

tive and legislative branches of the
Government is wide and deep as
can be. A few years ago President
Cleveland concluded his second
presidential term amid the execra
tions o. his party i'll Congress. He
however lived to see his action and
his judgm, mt VII dicated. The case
with President Roosevelt is differ
ent. The denunciation of his par
ty in Congress is quite as bitter and
fierce as was in the case of Cleve-
land but Roosevelt has assurances
that the country at large is strong
ly with him; that it believes III his
honesty and sagacity while il doubts
OF suspects those whom he criticiz-
es. 1t is said that the Ways and
Means Committee will order print
ed two million copies of the Con
gressional Record in which Mr..
Tawney and other members of the
House make their defense and that
these copies will be franked by
Members of Congress to almost ev-
cry voter in the Republican party.
They say that only i'll this way can
they get their defense before the
millions of people who have been
made familiar with the Presidents
charges through the overwhelming
circulation of the public press.
The President cf course has incom-
parable advantage in the way Of an
audience and it is doubtful if one
person in ten who receives the Con-
gressional Record will read it.

Quay Statue for Capitol.
Penrose and Colleagues Plan for Legislature.

A resolution, backed by Senator
Penrose and the other Philadelphia
Machine leaders, is to be offered in
the State Legislature. to place the
Quay statue i'll niche in the ro-
tunda of the capitol. The leaders
are authoritatively said 20 have de-
cided that their majority in the
Legislature is SO large that they
can safely take the risk of opposing
the public sentiment that has so
generally and so vigorously ex-
pressed itself against the placing of
the statue anywhere on property of
the State.
The excuse to be given for the
resolution is the familiar one offer
ell by David H. Lane, member of
the Statue Commission, that as the
memorial, to the "Old MAN. is of
white marble, it would not do to
expose it to the elements outside of
the Capitol. Certain of the leaders
are said to have discounted all the
adverse criticism upon the statue
project and concluded that the
placing of the statue as proposed
will be, at most, only nine days
wonder"
The necessity Tor the coming
statue resolution is primarily IN the
shying that the Board OF Public
Grounds and Buildings, headed by
Governor Stuart, have done from
every proposition to consider the
placing of the statue somewhere OH
the State property. Stuart and
colleagues evidently sized up the
formidable character of the popular
opposition to the scheme and NOV
ed with extreme caution, although
making it plain that they would
not take the responsibility for put
ting the statue III the Capitol or on
its grounds. The bosses are now
ready to take that responsibility.
