American College
Men Are Stronger
Than the Asiatics
Physical Tests Prove that Rice Eaters
Cannot Compete with 0cci-
dental Drawn.

NEW YORK, March 11-Many are the
tales of the wonderful endurance and
strength of the rice eaters. We have been
told how the Japanese Chinese and Hindu
young men are capable of standing terrific
exposure and hardship. These somewhat
common beliefs however have been shat
tered rudely by DR.. d. c. Hall, physical
director of the University of Wisconsin.
For more than two years he has been COM
piling comparative records. Today results
are at hand that show the American young
man as represented by the college student
to be physically superior to his cousins of
the orient. DR.. Halls observations are
given as follows:
THE American college man is heavier,
stronger and taller than the Chinese
Hindu or Japanese student. The American
averages 1l2 and a fraction pounds in
weight, while the native of China comes
next with an average Of l24 pounds with
the Japanese in third place with an aver
age OF 112 pounds. The average Hindu tips
the beam at 100 pounds The American has
an average height of feet inches. and
the Hindu comes next with an average Of
feet ~ inches.
According to DR.. Hall. the most sur
prising result of the physical comparison
of the students OF different nationalities
was obtained in the strength tests The
American is first with 1924 pounds, but
the Chinaman is close second with an
average of 1881 pounds to his credit leav,
ing the Japanese, the reputed iron man
of the Russo-Japanese war, in third place
with an average Of only 1908 pounds The
Hindu is bad fourth with only SlS pounds
as the average of the strength test, ana
Mr.. Halls explanation of the weak physi-
cal makeup of the Hindu students is the
fact that they are vegetarians and do not
exercise regularly enough
Or Hall also prepared a table to show
the increase in physical vigor and endur,
ance after years work in the college
gymnasium, and the general Improvement
Is so great that enemies of military drill
at the university urge that the benefit of
years work In the gymnasium is more
productive Of gain in physical development
than the corresponding time spent in car
rying muslIet over the campus"

Field Club Courts
Are to Be Covered
With Coating Of Oil
Preparations Being Made Early for
the National Clay Court
Tournament.

Oh. specially prepared and put on in
the same manner as is used in laying
oil on roadways, will be used in the
tennis courts OF the Omaha Field club this
summer. The tennis committee of the
club has looked into the matter and de-
clare that the courts that have used the
John d. product in other years were in
the most perfect shape all the summer
The clay soil of Nebraska becomes
baked and hard after a week or more of
the hot summer sun and It is found very
hard to keep the hard surface of the
court from cracking, or else from scuffing
into choking dust when the players use
the clay tennis courts. The new product
that is TO be used binds the top surface
perfectly, allowing the court to be rolled
as hard as pavement and yet It win not
crack
After several games have been played
on any tennis court there are sure to be
few dents from the shoes of the players
on the ordinary unprepsred surface OF a
clay court the ground must be soaked
dragged with a mat, and rolled before
these can be gotten out. With. the oil
surface II is only necessary to roll the
court over a few times with the heavy
roller and It is as fresh and unmarked

The oil used has the appearance Of

reasonable price and the saving in water

pays for the extra cost OF the fluid.
Other improvements are being planned
by the club in preparation or the big

be bought and the tennis courts COM
pletely gone over this spring to insure
their being in the best possible shape all

Will also be built.

HOLSTE TRAINS FINE TEAM
Hastings College Basket Ball Five
Has Good Record.
TRIMS EVERY TEAM SAVE COTNER
Hope Expressed These Two Teams
Might Meet, But Arrangements
Have Not Been SIade-RecOrd
Made for the Year.

HASTINGS, Neb., March 11.-(Special)-
Although training was not begun until
the latter part of January, the basket ball
team OF Hastings college has made nota-
BILE record, having defeated all ether col
lege teams with which it has played. The
only game It lost in the entire series was
at York early in the season. before prac-
tice was we'll under way, but in the return
game with that five Hastings won by the
score Of "a TO and York threw up the
sponge when the game had five minutes
to go.
The record is all the more remarkable
by reason Of the fact that this was the
first season in many years that Hastings
college had had basket ball team When
a. f. Holste, the athletic director, arrived
on January II he had to begin work with
unslSilled men. as only one Of the candi-
dates for the five had ever played in a
basket bail game. With this team and
the progress already made in the develop
ment OF a base ball team Holste has dem
onstrated his versatility as an athletic d.
rector.
Work on the GridirOn.
1t was Hoste that rounded into shape
three OF the best foot ball teams that ever
represented Hastings college, His success
was so marked in that branch of college
sports the institution employed him for
athletic director and built and equipped
one of the best gymnasiums in the state.
The basket ball team has played two
games each with Wesleyan Kearney and
York, piling up a score of 1877 to 1876 by the
opponents. Two games were scheduled
with Cotner, which had defeated both
Kansas and Nebraska in the Missouri con-
ference. but COtner called them off early
IN the week, much to the disappointment
of the local team and its supporters. Cot
ner and Hastings are regarded as by all
odds the strongest basket ball teams in
the state, and It was the desire OF local
supporters Of the game that the two
teams might meet in a final test of
strength.
Hastings college will this spring. for the
first time, have base ball team in the
field. Practice is already we'll under way
Although most Of the men are inexperi-
enced. they are showing excellent form
and It is expected that a winning team
will he developed. Much time Is also being
given to training for track athletics, in
which Hastings college has always main
tanned a good record among the other col
leges Of the state.

Enter Nolo Contendere Pleas
and Are Fined.
NOT GUILTY PLEAS SUPPLANTED
American Steel and Wire Company
Serves Notice that Its Case
Will be Fought
to Finish.

New York, July 26.-Thirty-seven oil
the eighty-four wire manufacturers
and their employees who were indicted
by the grand jury here on June 20 on
the charge OF combining in nine pools
to the restraint OF trade in the wire
business entered pleas In nolo con
tendere before Judge Archibald in the
criminal branch of the United States
circuit court.
Each was fined $1,000 on the initial
count and 500 on every additional
count in the indictment against him.
The total amount of the fines imposed
is s42,700 and Of this sum $4,000 was
paid to Commissioner Shields before
he closed his Office for the night.
In the case of most of the thirty.
seven appearing before Judge Arch.
bald, the nolo contendere was entered
to supplart the original plea of not
guilty alreaf v made, for few the nolo
contendere was the initial plea. Dis
trict Attorney Wise has heard from
the lawyers representing several 9TH
er indicted wire men; they, too, will
come into court Thursday and enter
the plea OF nolo contendere.
Those who pleaded and were SEN
fenced to be fined, some Of them on as
high as six and eight indictments, rep.
resented the following, alleged by the
government to have participated in the
nine pooling associations: Lead En-
cased Rubber Cable association, Fine
Magnet Wire association, Rubber Cow
cred Wire association, Wire Rope as
sociaticn. Weather Proof and Magnet
Wire association, Underground Power
Gable association. Telephone Cable as
ISOLATION, Horseshoe Manufacturers
association, and Bare Copper Wire as.
ISOLATION. Though several who paid
up were listed under scattering indict.
ments as representatives OF the Bare
Copper Wire association, William P.
Palmer the president of the American
Steel and Wire company, whose name
headed the list under the Bare Copper
Wire association and who was indict.
ed seven times, was not one of those
to appear.

ton, intimated to District Attorney
Wise, SO he said, that they were going

Reason. for Abandoning the Farm.

Reason. for Abandoning the Farm.
''The true explanation of the abon-
doned farm" says Walter Prichard
Eaton, writing of the deserted home
steads of New England in 1.-THE Aban-
doned Farm, in the August American
Magazine, ''lies not so much in the
native quality of the farmers-or their
supposed lack of quality-as in the fact
that pioneer society cannot exist sur
rounded by civilization. Civilization
opens Pandors's box of desires and
ambitions and discontents, and it ere.
ates, too. an increased expensiveness
of living which a pioneer society,
without changing its methods, is un-
able to meet. To make the farm pay
under the new conditions requires a
knowledge the pioneer, slow and
simple by nature, too frequently cannot
acquire. ElTake the matter of lumber.
In our valley twenty years ago, several
parcels Of woodland were sold for 81. so
each. Last year, they were resold to
the pulp men for 81 900 each, and that
was less than their value. 1t is the
men who originally sold their lots at
such ruinous prices who have been
forced to abandon their farms. Two
years ago the farmer next to rs sold
the standing timber off his woodland
for $1,000. Some of it was first growth
white pine, therest good spruce. One
thousand dollars seemed a heap o.
money to him. The purchaser took
out e12, 600 worth of lumber and pulp
In q winter, but stripped the forest to
bare soil In the cruel process"
