Five Great High Jumpers.

Five Great High Jumpers.
That the United States will be unusually
we'll represented in the high jump at the
coming Olympic games is becoming more
and more evident. Previous to last week
there were five men in this country who
had been jumping consistently feet j
inches. They are Harry Porter. the
former Cornell man and winner OF
the Olympic high jump champion
ship in 1908; Lawrence of Harvard
who at a recent indoor meet cleared
the bar at 6 feet 4 inches; Burdick the
University of Pennsylvania track captain,
who has done feet ) inches a number
of times, and Grumpelt of the New York
Athletic Club, who has an A. A. l.. mark
of feet inches. Then there was
HORNE of Leland Stanford University,
who year ago was given a record of q
feet inches. Now comes Sargent of the
University of Michigan who at set of
indoor games last week cleared the bar
at q feet 3 inches. Thus this country is
already assured of at least six men any
one of whom is superior to the best that
any of the foreign competitors can
produce.
A great deal of curiosity has been
aroused in athletic circles in this country
over the performance of Patching, a new
South African Sprinter. If the reports
from South Africa are to be believed this
ner Of the 100 meters dash in 1908. Ac-
cording to all reports Patching's sort
Of second Lon Myers. He has been
credited with doing 10 seconds in the 100
yards, ID seconds for the 223-yard dash,
~ seconds for the 40 yards and , min
utes for the half mile. Three of these
records are on the books, and ina smuch
as Patching is still a youngster his sup
porters claim that he will astonsh the
athletic world when he arrives at Stock
holm.
South Africa intends to send team OF
eight picked men. While none of them
gives the promise of Patching, all have
first-class records. There is broad
jumper by the name of Stegmann. who
is credited with having beaten twenty
three feet, and a marathon runner, Nc
Arthur by name. who has broken all
the records for ten miles and up. He
recently ran the full marathon distance
over what were said to be very heavy
roads in hours 46 minutes. This, Of
course, is faster than the time made by
Haynes, when he won the London Olym-
pic marathon in 1908 over the very best
of roads.

College Soccer Gaining Ground.

Within the last week the intercollegiate
soccer season started, and although the
season has some weeks yet to run, it
looks as though Haverford had the best
chance to repeat it's record of 1911 by
winning the championship. The little
Quakers beat the big Quakers from
Pennsylvania quite handily the opening
game, and in particular showed the re-
suits of better coaching. The other men,
bers of the league, Harvard, Princeton.
Columbia and Yale, have yet to show
what they can do. Philadelphia has al
ways been the home of the English game
in this country and both Pennsylvania
and Haverford for that reason have the
advantage over their opponents.
1t is not unlikely that within another
year that there will be more than six
colleges in the intercollegiate League. If
this results it will be due mainly to the
efforts of the newly formed association
foot ball committee of the National Col
legiate Athletic Association. This COM
mittee was appointed at the last annual
convention and it was instructed to aid
the development of the game wherever
possible at the minor colleges and es-
pecially the preparatory schoolss The
committee is having abundant success
with the schools. for whereas q few
years ago the soccer game was unknown
in the preparatory institutions it is now
ma king a game fight for place among
the major sports.

animation will take about two weeks

PROCLAMATION.
The fire waste in Kansas last year
amounted to 50, 364, 394.00. 1t was more than
the annual cost of all the public institu-
tons of the state, including the Universe
tv. the Agricultural College, the State
Normal all the auxiliaries OF these in
stitutions the penitentiary, the reforma-
torv institutions, the industrial schools
the experiment station, the Soldiers
Home and the nine charitable insutu-
ttons under the Board of Control
Last year the fire loss in Kansas In
creased nearly three-quarters OF mil
lion dollars over the previous year.
I'his tremendous waste is an unneces-
sary expense that the people can easily
minimize by the exercise of a little
tho,. ghtfuI care in the way of keeping
their premises free from combustible trash
the most fruitful source OF costly fires.
To further the public effort to reduce
this loss, I, W. R. Stubs, Governor. DO
hereby designate April 18th, as Fire Pre-
