 BOSTON, January 22.-An attempt was made this morning to force the shorts to cover, and for the first two hours we had more activity with a slight rally of about a point. North Butte was in fair demand today, prin' cipally from brokers sometimes asso- eiated with Lawson. who are apparent ly covering short line. Butte Coalition had small rise, but failed to hold. There is nothing yet in the situation to encourage anyone to buy stocks for a long pull and we think prices will sag until lack of margins brings in forced selling and causes a sharp break, then the market will be right to buy for a substantial advance.

For a University Clock.

To the Editor of the University Missourian
Here's another phase OF the ques
ton of a university clock. A pro
fessor in the university found his
class missing when he got to the rec
itation room a few minutes late. He
had not heard the bell ring. Not
many teachers like to find vacant
seats when they go to meet class
even when they are late. Some stu
dents might lose few hours credit
as the result. Besides, it is impossible
to keep watch with the bell now in
use. How is student to know when
exactly ten minutes, the time teach
ers are given beyond the hour, has
elapsed? c.

THE MINOR ATHLETICS.

The problem of supporting the
minor athletics that follow football
will soon be uppermost again. Basket
ball. baseball and track do not draw
nearly the revenue obtained from foot
ball for several reasons, chiefly be
cause OF the wider appeal the latter
game Offers Yet the minor athletic
sports serve the same purpOse-Of
combining amusement with health1nl
exercise. And many more students
can participate in these sports than
in the rougher game. The basketball
season last year failed because onl"
a handful of rooters attended tn
games, and destroyed the spirit OF
team that was as good as any other
in the Missouri Valley Conference.
Track meets and baseball games were
equally neglected.
Unless the university desires to 60
through the same experience year after
wear a radical change must be made.
AT some institutions an athletic fee is
charged. but compulsory fees have
always been foes to true school spirit.
Rut at those schools where nominal
foo was requested of each student the
hest results have been obtained. In
stead of paying two or three dollars
for a football season ticket the student
will be asked TO pay say five dollars
under the new plan and receive a
ticket or button emitting him to all
regular athletic games that year. And
if the other departments corroborate
the fee may be increased to cover not
only athletic contests but also debates
and musicales.
And thus instead of bearing the
burden of all other sports football
will in time make them all self-sup-
porting 1t is only question OF being
penny wise and pound foolish to cling
TO the old system.
