After inspecting the boys of the cadet
corns, who were drawn up in revie"
order. he was escorted to the assem-
blv hail. where lie addressed the pupils
of the school, who numbered ABOUT

YOU coire to my age with some satis-

there are designs and degrees OF SAT

SPORTING NOTES.

No matter from what angle 1t is viewed,
the 10Th annual relay carnival of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania next Saturday
will be one of the greatest athletic meets
of the year. The total of individual en-
tries, not counting Implications, has al
ready reached more than 1000. a record
exceeded by no other athletic meet of
modern times except the Olympic games
at London in 1908. The feature of this
years meet probably will be the fight for
athletic supremacy between the colleges
of the East and the West. Ten years
ago Chicago University was the only col
lege of the West which sent team to
the Quaker City, and the Midway collie
gians confined their competition to a SIN
gle event, the One-mile college champion
ship.
