tired with the wanton gaudiness of
too many pretentious shows in this
particular.
Corinne naturally holds the center
of the stage during the greater part

HARVARD SQUAD
PROMISES WELL
CRIMSON AND BLACK TRACK
BOYS TRAIN DILIGENTLY
POINT=WINNING MEN OF LAST
YEAR AGAIN ENROLLED
Lack of Second and Third Place Cam
didates Only Condition Which
Can Lose InterschoIastic
Meet

With the approach of the track sea-
son the Harvard school track men are
beginning preliminary training for q
difficult tussle. Last year the boys
representing the crimson and black
found little trouble in winning the
Stanford big interscholastic, but fell
down before the boys from Los An
geles high school at the home field.
Practically every point winning man
from last years team again is enrolled,
and the Harvard boys confidently be-
lieve they again will be interscholastiC
champions of California.
Harvard will be very strong in the
100 and 220 yard dashes, with Thorpe
running. He is easily the best sprinter
in the south today, bar none, and if he
improves as much this year as he did
last he should come close to running
the century in As seconds.
In the quarter and half mile runs
Robb should win easily from any Of
the prep youngsters in Southern Cali
fornia.
Lane is also a good man in the quar-
ter and half mile distances and will
make many points before the season is
over.
Lawton. who ran for high school last
year, is also at Harvard.
In the mile run Valley, with a rec
year, should gallop home yards ahead
of any man.
For the first time in years Harvard
will have a fairly good hurdler in Bud
Caruthers, who ran for Pomona pre-
paratory school last year and in one
of the earlier class meets at Pomona
college gave Spurgeon, the premier
hurdler of the southern colleges, a run
for his life in the high sticks.
No weight man has as yet shown up,
but the cadets are in hopes a husky
football man will toss the leaden ball,
for there is no real classy weight man
in the prep schools this year, and Il
mediocre man will stand good
chance.
Fyfe is the only man who has done
much broad jumping, and his records
do not indicate he will do much in this
event. No pole vaulter or high jumper
has shown up and the military lads
will have to be content with no points
in either of these events.
The class meet will come off some
time after the second semester has be-
gun.

AUTO DEALER
MUSE INSPIRED?
WRITES VERSES ABOUT HUS-

Racing Propensites of Bill Ruess Are
Told in Rhyme by Well
Known Automobile
Dealer.

One OF the best known dealers in
automobiles in Los Angeles is addicted
to poetry, if one can term his rhymes
by that name.
His many effusions have been in
ficted on his close friends for many
months, and it has been a much mooted
question as to whether the inspiration
OF the muse, as he calls his jingles, are
a sign of genius or evidence Of tenn
porary mental alteration.
He took occasion the other day to
write poem CD about Wild Bill Ruess,
which he sent to The Herald with a re-
quest to print and send the bill to him,
so 1t is herewith presented, with due
apologies to our readers.
BILL, WE DONE YOU WRONG"
(By L. TabascO)
A friend 'ourn. His name is Bill,
Is sure a funny cuss.
To save his life he can't keep still;
He's always in muss.
Now Bill would rather fight than eat,
You oughter hear him swear.
He says the Hartford can't be beat,
But that's just his hot air.
Now Bill forgot that Frisco race
(You can't blame him for thaD,
For Owen set too fast a pace,
Or else Bill 'lost his hat"
Then the Pasadena climb was sad
For poor Bill lost once more,
And this time he was awful mad,
Thought racing quite bore"
Now you'd really think he'd had enough
To last him for awhile,
But Bill is built Of sterner stuff
And bobs up with a smile.
This time he works for Ikey Schlank,
But hardly thinks it funny
When Lady Maud" she breaks a crank
And don't get in the money.
we +bor1bt him cured of rscirg novv
But Bill, 1--WE done you wrong"
For you can't quit; you don't know how.
It's the burden Of your song"
The Marmon, Stearns and Mitchell, too,
"a very classy bunch)
Once more beat Bill-and badly, too,
Bill paid for tlis last hunch.
Poor Bill He's now a wiser boy,
But he's restless, too, you bet,
For racing is his only joy
And the Lady Maud" his pet
But Bill is game you'll all agree;
Sure he's easy game, the Jay!
A really wise old owl is he,
If you don't care what you say.
