exception of the loss of Karrick and
stone by graduation, the veterans Of
the team are back, and the new ma
teTial is promising.
Early work on the cinder path will
be started as soon as the weather per
mits, with gymnasium work mapped
out to suit the various squads accord
ing to the events the boys will enter.
George Atkins, captain Of the track
team, who broke the re lords fer high
jump and 220-yard dash, is looked upon
as a strong point winner. Gordon
Kirby. holder Of the 440-yard record, is
i'm better condition, he claims, than at
this time last year, and feels confident
that he can lower his mark. Kirby
will also try for the hurdles.
The weights will bother Coach Con-

game He feels, however, that Wal
lace. Wilkensen, Ward, Goodspeed and
Mcintyre viii develop into good men.
Frank Wheeling, holder of the mile
record, will work for the hammer and
shot as well this year.
Men for the sprints and jumps are
more plentiful; Atkins, ROmney, Hurl-
burt, GALLAGHER, Snow and Wetzel
numbering among the best.
Coach COnvill viii arrange as many
preliminary meets as possible. The
first viii probably be with the Univer-
Sly of Utah, and then with Granite or

When Utah Joined the athletic confer
ence she was given an advantage over
the other schools in the conference in
that she was permitted to play with
schools who had "preps" on their teams.
providing these schools lived up to the
other requirements of the league, name
ly, the four-year rule and some Of the
other requirements which most of the
schools of Utah at the present time are
observing.
At the meeting of the Utah intercOl-
legiate athletic conference, now com
posed of the University of Utah, the 3.
Y. Z, the a. G. T., the 3. Y. c. and the
L. D. S. L, it was decided by vote Of
three to two that the schools of the
league should abide by the rules of the
Rocky mountain conference, with the
exception of the One-year rule and the
rule governing preparatory students.
Following this decision the coaches
from the several schools were obliged to
eliminate from their teams the men
who had already played four years.
This decision fell most severely upon
the B. Y. l., as she was compelled to
disqualify the crack athletes, Chamber
lain, Rose, Christensen and Jones from
the baseball league and also from the
track team.
Following the decision Of the Utah IN
tercOllegiate athletic conference, the
faculty of the University asked the
other schools of the state to conform
with-the eligibility rules of the Rocky
mountain conference with the exception
of the rule governing props. This de-
cision of the Utah faculty meant that

GRANITE HIGH SCHOOL
TO HAVE GYMNASIUM

The Granite High school is to have a
new gymnasium, a need which has long
been felt by members of the faculty and
student body. The site which has been
chosen by the board is just opposite the
school on Fourteenth South and Fifth
East streets, The plans for the new
building have already been drawn and
have met with the approval of all con-
Cerned
The gymnasium will be along the most
up TO date lines. 1t will contain a large
swimming pool, and the gym is to be
the regulation size for basketball. The ap-
paratUs for physical development will be
the best, while the running track will
be one Of the features of the new build
ing.
1t is said by those who are in authority
that the new gymnasium will be ready
for occupancy by the opening Of the fall
term.
Regular physical culture classes will be
in force when school opens, and the physi-
cal education will form one of the rudi-
ments Of the school

Utah would not be permitted TO take
part I'm athletic contests with any
schools Of the state which did not abide
by the rules.
B. Y. U. Wlthdraws.
Following this announcement, Coach
Maddox Of the university received a
communication from Coach Fred Ben
Mon of the B. Y. T., stating that the
Provo school would not take part I'm the
state track meet nor in the baseball
league This also means that the dual
meet scheduled between the University
of Utah and the b. Y. L. will be called
off if Provo continues to take her stand,
since Utah cannot play with schools
who do not live up to the league rules.
The baseball series, however, viii con-
tinue as the b. Y. G., the A. Q. Z. and
the L. d. S. L. have STAYED their inten-
tions Of joining the league. AS yet
Coach Maddox has received no COM
municGtiOn from the Agricultural col
Iege stating that they would not put a
team in the state track meet so Coach
Maddox believes that the A. Q. viii
come to the meet. If the A. c, does
not put a team in the meet il viii mean
that there will be no state track meet
this year.
Coach Maddox said Saturday after
noon: From now on, Provo VIII have
to live up to the requirements Of the
league or not join i'm any sports in which
the university takes part. It is unfOr-
tunate that such a condition should
arise, but we have got to start TO live
up to the rules some time, and we may

Chicago, Feb. 26.-The great ball
players Of the past are gone, but their
names live after them, perpetuated in
some cases by younger relatives, in
others by young men who just happen
to have their titles. Most of the great
old cards of the long ago, in fact, have
duplicates in name today, and a search
through the various leagues will turn
up curious facts along these lines.
In the National league there are still
a Ward, Doyle, a Ferguson, a Dele
hanty, a Devlin, a Sweeney, a Schaefer,
a Mccormick, a Gibson, a Bergen and
a Ewing. In the American there can
be found a Knight, a Jones, Collins, a
Reilly. a Burns, Ryan and a White.
In the Pacific league we find a Coo
ney, a Doyle and two names once
grandly famed for batting might
Thompson and Browning-and also a
Griffin.
Other good names once renowned:

In baseball an effort will be made TO
organize a state high school league,
which will result in d schedule which
will settle the state high school title.
The league has been tried several
times in the past but has fallen

of them. with an inquisitive turn of

perhaps of some historical interest.
asked the policeman why he kept that
