PRESIDENT WIDTSOE
ADDRESSES PEOPLE
Speaks of Change in School at
Cedar City and Points Out
Reasons for Change

Legislature the Branch OF the
State Normal School located at
Cedar City was changed to the
Branch of the Agricultural Col
lege of Utah. The fundamental
reason for this change was the
undoubted need of home build
ers and home makers in the
rich but undeveloped valleys of
Southern Utah. 1t was thought
that the New Education" fost-
cred by the Agricultural College
would give a new and strong
impetus to the development Of
the rich southern countries.
The Branch Normal School
has been for sixteen years the
pride of Southern Utah. It's
student roll includes the names
Of men and women who have
achieved eminence in many pro-
fessions and hundreds of good
citizens in every walk Of life.
The great influence for good
that this school has welded
through it's earnest student body
and its inspiring teachers, will
be an ever widening memory.
The old school is not dead; it
continues under an enlarged
mission; it still derives its author
ity from the state; the name does
not make school. The organi-
cations and graduates and for
mer students are in vital connec-
ton with the School as before,
and will receive the same cour-
teous consideration.
Under the new law, the School
at Cedar City will emphasize in
dustrial courses, but all other
essential departments will be
maintained at the highest stand
ard. Agriculture, home making,
commerce, mechanical arts, and
all the great resources of the
South will be given vigorous
attention, but English. music,
the sciences and arts, and all
subjects that help to make good
intelligent citizens, will be looked
after with equal vigor. The
graduates of the B. A. C. will
have received the foundation
work for teaching or for any
other of the established profess
sions of man, and may enter any
of the advanced institutions of
the land.
Prof. Roy F. Homer. experiens
ced in educational work and a
thorough convert to education
for all necessary tasks, is the
new principal. He is supported by
a strengthened faculty, includ-
ing most of last years teachers.
The buildings and equipment
have been overhauled and i'm
proved. The course of study
has been changed, in conformity
with the ruling of the State
Board of Education and with the
best recent thought, so that only
English is a required subject;
all others may be chosen, under
faculty guidance, to conform
with the special needs or gifts
of the student.
The people of Southern Utah
are invited to send their sons
and daughters to the School at
Cedar City. The young people
will be given careful attention
by the school officials; and the
people of Cedar are making of
their city model college home.
Education helps to give joy in the
journey of life. Catalogues and
and information will be gladly
sent to any address.

College at Cedar Civ is the only

SALARY LIMIT
CAUSING TROUBLE
INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE CAN'T
SIGN PLAYERS AND ONLY
NEWARK CLUB HAS
FULL LIST.

New York, Feb. 26.-when the Ma
tional- Association of Minor Leagues
arbitrarily fixed the salary limit for
each club at $4,000 month, a lot of
trouble started among individual own
ers. Today, half a dozen teams in
the International are upset over the
proposition and managers are trying
Vainly to satisfy the demands of their
players with the limited amount of
cash allotted.
The Newark club is the only one
said to be in good shape as regards
its playing staff. C. T. Chaplin, own
er of the Rochester club. weary of his
efforts to induce the return of many
of his best men, has sent each of the
holdouts a telegram warning him that
he will be suspended unless he comes
across with his signature to con-
tract by the first of the month. Under
baseball law, the owners of the clubs
are powerless in the matter. Presi-
dent Barrow is said to be consider
ably perturbed over the situation.

P0OCH DONAVAN
TO TRAIN HARVARD
VETERAN COACH WILL HAVE EN-
TIRE CHARGE OF CRIMSON
TRACK TEAM.

According to auth enttc5 adyices from
Boston, no successor will be appoint
ed by the Harvard athletic manage
ment to take the place left vacant by
the death Of Bill Quinn. coach of the
Harvard field and hurdle event ath-
letes-
This decision, which has been made
by. those directly concerned, is un-
derstood to apply to the present year,
and there is q prospect that it may
be made permanent, with the entire
burden of coaching both the track
and field event men placed on the
shoulders of ''Pooch'' Donovan.
At any rate, Donovan will have
the responsibility Of looking after
both departments the present year,
thus placing Harvard on the same
plane with her sister colleges, which
have never followed the course pur-
sued by the crimson in having a sep
aFate coach for the Held events alone,
mainly for the reason that the ex-
pense would prove lettering eitem.
Field coaches of Quinn's eaIiber and
general worth. including personality
are none too common.
Many names have been mentioned

Princeton and Cornell Expect Big
Year on Water.

With winter on the Wane the college
oarsmen are laying plans for the
spring season-the time when the
sweep-swingers take to outdoors.
Another month will see the oarsmen
out on lakes and rivers getting ready
to shape themselves for the 1ond
siege of real work. Meanwhile the
coaches are rushing the work in
doors.
Princeton is particularly active in
this respect. The Tigers have eighty
men working on the machines under
the supervision of Coach Spaeth.
It is mot likely that the varsity
squad will use the new boathouse,
which is in course of erection, this
summer. The shells of visiting crews
in all probability will be housed
there.

DUFFY LEWIS OF
RED SOX IS SORE
oUTF1ELDER THREATENS TO RE
TIRE UNLESS HE GETS
RAISE.

San Francisco, Feb. 26.-Duffy
Lewis, the crack left fielder of the
Boston Americans, wired President
McAIeer of the Red Sox last night
that his contract is still unsatisfac-
tory, and that he will not report IN
Hot Springs, Ark, for spring training.
Lewis is said TO have returned three
contracts which were sent to him to
sign The little outfelder does not
think he was treated fairly by the
club. Though he fell off somewhat
in his batting last season and finished
under the 800 mark, he. drove in
more runs last year than any other
player on the Worlds Champions.
Baker of the Athletics was the only
player in the American League who
batted home more runs last season
than did Lewis.
Lewis also was in every game
played by his team all season, and
his work was one of the features of
the splendid showing of the Red Sox.
Lewis fell down in the Worlds Series,
and his failure in the series with the
Giants is said to be the reason why
the club does not feel as if it should
comply with his request for the high
salary he is holding out for. Lewis
was offered a. small raise, but scorned
it.
He is in earnest about not report
ing, and If he does not hear from
McAleer in the next few days he will
begin his duties as coach of the Lee.
land Stanford University baseball
team. Lewis has already accepted
the position.

Seymour has not been in the big

| tie, though, will be heard for a time
about another class of players. These
men are the young twirlers who have

minor leagues and town lots. While
| the infielders and outfelders will be
speeding up their plays In. the hoae
of catching the eyes of their manager,
the juvenile twirlers will be under
wraps.
They are just as anxious to s.cut
loose as the candidates. fo= other
places ON the team, but the veteran
lscatchers who are looking after their
welfare will not permit it. Occa-

of practice, says an exchange. Ills
ambition to strike out some star slug
ger like Baker or a Magee is SO keen
that he will suddenly cut. loose with
all of his speed or with a curve ball.
Such tactics always arouse the ire
of the manager or his coach, who has

make an impression.
One year the Athletics took South
a very promising feft-nander. He
had been much sought after by other
clubs and he was given the most care
full kind of coaching. It was even
predicted by some that he would turn
out to be another Wadden. The
young man had been .ttouted" so
strong that he really believed himself
that he was going to set the Ameri-
can league on fire. He had a habit
comm on with many "southpaws'' of
pitching a side-arm ball, and efforts
were made to get him to swing his
arm higher.
In the squad was .Matty" Kilroy,
a veteran of many campaigns in the
major leagues. Matty is still ranked
as among the cleverest lefthand pitch
ers the game ever knew. A youth
who could have Kilroy give him in
structfors should consider himself as
lucky as.sif he were to find a thoTls-
and-dollar bill Not SO this young
left-hander.
Kilroy took the lad under his wing
and urged him to get his arm over his
shoulders before pitching Matty
tried time and again and illustrated
just why the over-arm swing was bet
ter than the side-arm motion. All
the advice fell upon deaf ears. The
fact that the man instructing b i'm
had held a job for two years in the
majors on his head work alone
didn't make any difference. I've been
accustomed to pitching this way, was
the sHrly remark of the youngster
and he kept on with his side-arm mo-
ton. That lad went back to the mi
nors before the championship sea-
son was month old. and he is still
there
