eight middle west universities and has in
vfted ten others TO enter teams in the an
nual games. The events will be those Gus
tomary on the track and in the field.
Track and field games are the oldest OF
all sports and are INDUCED in by every
civilized country. They are the only form
Of athletics which have the same standards
the world over and in which local records
can be accurately compared. Once every
four years the Olympic games are held,
usually in some European country, and
TO these games are sent the finest athletes
that the individual countries can develop.

gathering OF athletes is comparable to it,
either for numbers or ability. Many OF
the men who will be seen in action on

OF the men who will compete on
Northrop field on Friday and Saturday
afternoon, three are coming TO Minnesota
with the stated intention Of breaking con-
ference records and one hopes to set a new

Ira Davenport is perhaps the best known
track man that Chicago has turned out
in several years. At the last conference
he lowered the records for the quarter

fine his attention to the half mile Satur-
day in the hope or breaking his own record
and setting a mark which will not be low
cred in at least a generation. Davenport's
record in the half is 1855. An unknown
runner from the University Of Missouri
has announced that he will go after the
record set by Davenport in the quarter

TROLLEY OPPONENTS
APPEAL QUO WARRANTO
Ask Court TO Set Aside the
Verdict Of the Jury.

Attorneys for the property owners
at Convent who are fighting the build
ing of trolley across their property
have secured from the supreme court
rule to show cause why the YER
diet of the jury in the quo warranto
proceedings testing the legality of the
Morris Railroad company should not
be set aside. The rule is returnaDle
at the February term of the Supreme
court.
The proceeding is based upon ex-
ceptions taken from rulings of JUS
tice Charles w. Parker, before whom
the quo warranto was tried here a
few weeks ago. The quo warranto
was conducted by attorneys of the
property owners interested in the
name of Attorney-General Edmund
Wilson. The attempt was made to
prove that the organization of the
, Morris Railroad company was only a
subterfuge upon the part of the Nor
ris County Traction Co. to secure
ghts-of-ways for its trolley between
Morristown and Madison that it could
not secure under the law as trolley
company. The verdict of the jury
was in favor of the railroad company.
! Attorneys for Mrs. H. Nick. Twom-
bley and the Sisters of Charity have
taken appeals from the awards of
the condemnation commissioners made
to their clients. Mrs. Twombley was
given $27,S00 by the commission for
the property needed by the railroad
while to the Sisters of Charity were
given $21, 800.
The contention is made that the
two parties were shut off from com,
munication with Madison avenue and
to the Convent railroad station by
the proposed railroad. The point is
also made that the awards were toe
small. The appeals will be taken ur
in the Circuit court before Judge
Charles G. Black the latter part OF
December or the first of January.
