present being escorted to the restau-
rant. BY O'Clock the crowd had
been seated and had begun partaking
of the six course dinner which was
more elaborate than many whose
prices range higher than one dollar.

rived together with about seventy
five who had dined at the Marathon.

IOWA CITY, Iowa, Nov 15.-Iowa's
athletic board has elected Maurice A.
Kent, one of the most brilliant ath-
letes the state has produced, to be
basket ball and baseball coach at the
state university for the ensuing year.
Kent was graduated from the col
lege of liberal arts in 1908. His
scholastic record was far above the
average. He was prominent in all
university activities and was consid-
cred to be one of the most popular
students who ever attended the uni
versity.
In college Kent was member Of
all the athletic squads. He was a
star quarterback: he was one of the
best college pitchers the game has
ever seen in this state, and he could
change his uniform for track suit
and go over to the jumping pits and
win points for his alma mater as
high jumper. His skill as baseball
player eventually took him to the Ma
llOnal league where ne played Win
the Brooklyn team. During his last
visit to the university, however. Kent
stated emphatically that he was
through with professional baseball.
Kent came from the Marshalltown
high school to the university in the
fall of 1904. He will arrive in Iowa
City this week to take up his duties
and will help the coaches in preparing
the football team for the Ames and
Nebraska games

Cole to high society, Chance knows
just about what he can do. The trou-
be with Cole has appeared to have
been that he found paths that led to
other places than fame, and strayed
from the straight and narrow. He did
