CLARK BELIEVES IN HOBBY

When Champ Clark retires from congress
has no intention of doing right away, for he
considers his chances for the speakershp better
than ever-he intends to turn author. The Mis-
sourian who leads the Democrats in the house
will write a book entitled 1.-THE Curiosties of
American History and What One Vote Can Do"
History is Champ Clarks hobby. He hobbies
principally toward the history of the United
States, and 1t is the strange things he has dis
covered in the history of this country that will
furnish the great part of his book. He spoke of
some of these things before the National Press
club in Washington several nights ago. Always

of the Colby track team Monday an
nounced the closing of a contract with
the University of Maine track manage
ment for dual meet to be held III Wa
tervillc prior to the Maine mtcrcol-
Iegiate later. While no announcement
was made relative to the annual dual
track meet with Bates, it is under
stood that Colby will this year cut
Bates off the track schedule, 50 far as
the dual meet is concerned, although
all four Maine colleges will participate
in the Maine intercollegiate meet. The
Colby management denies that the ac-
ton has been taken as in any degree
retaliatory for the failure of negotia-
tons for a football game between
Bates and Colby last fall. \ meet with
the University of Maine was felt to be
more advantageous in many respects,
and accordingly an agreement was en-
tered into.
