ROCK ISLAND IS
ASKED TO ENTER
Northwestern University Wants
City to Be Represented at
Track Meet.

Track stars of the local high school
will probably have a chance to win
laurels in the Northwestern Univers-
ity indoor track meet, to be held at
Evanston on March 81 and IS. An in
vitation to the meet has been received
by the authorities in charge of the
track athletics. No formal action has
been taken, although it is expected
. that some of the local sprinters and
distance men could win places in the
Evanston meet.
Should the invitation be accepted,
Captain William Glass of the cinder
path men would lead a strong team to
Evanston. Earl Chalk, distance run
ner, who won first in the half mile at
the University of Illinois, and third
in the same distance at Stages meet in
Chicago, in which athletes from all
section of the country competed for
honors last spring, should make a good
showing in the distance runs, as the
men who broke the tape ahead of him
at the u. of c. meet have both COM
pleted their courses in prep schools,
and so would be unable to compete at
the indoor meet.
Claude Kipp, quarter miller, won
fourth in the dash of his chosen dis
lance at the Illinois university meet
at Urbana last spring, and would be
one of the strong contenders in the 440
dash at the Evanston meet. Glass
also is a middle distance runner. as
we'll as a hurdler and weight man.
The students of the high school, who
have followed the track and field ath- |
letes of the local school during the past |
two seasons. want to have Rock Island |
represented in the Northern Univers- |
ity's indoor meet as they are confident |
that local men can win places in the |
races, and rest their hopes on Chalk
to bring victory to the Islanders.
Besides the probability of winning !
laurels, the meet would furnish splen-
did incentive to preseason indoor
raining and would probably help won
lerfully in making a fast team for the
Big Elgin and TriCity next spring

AFRAID OF THE DENTlST7
Here Are Some Hints That May Help
You Through Your Ordeal.

you through Your Ordeal.
Everybody breads the dentist. The
bravest heart quails at the thought of
the man with the forceps. One who
has been through many trying expert
! ences with the dentist and who has
made study of efficiency in all direc-
tons claims to have made some dis
coveries that ought to be helpful to
all. Here are some of his suggestions
Your siege in the dentist chair will be
greatly lighteDed if you will remember
a few things:
Keep the throat moist by gargling
from time TO time as you sit in the
chair with water mixed with some an
tiseptic preparation of an ordinary
character such as every dentist has at
hand.
1t is not bad idea before you go to
a dentist to take a bit of chewing gum
in the mouth to promote a free flow
of saliva. If the gum has a flavor.
that will be helpful and will check the
tendency to dryness of the throat and
the tickling sensation that follows.
Carry a large handkerchief with per-
fume or cologne on it. which you can
hold in your hand and inhale the
cologne whenever you have a mo-
ment's rest. You will find it very re-
freshing. While the dentist is at work
the handkerchief will give your fin
gers something to clasp. This may
help to divert your attention from the
work on your teeth.
Relieve the strain upon your throat
at every opportunity while the dentist
is changing his instruments by lifting |
your head from the chair-for even a |
single moment-and taking n deep /
breath. Shut your eyes and think of |
some problem, some particular friend |
or of some one in whom you are deep |
ly interested. This will divert your
thought from the dentists work.
Remember that most of the pain we
fear we can escape. In these days
dentistry is less painful than ever be-
fore. 1t will probably never be entire
ly painless. yet much of the work Of
the dentist is now done without in
fiicting pain. though. of course. it is
always unpleasant to have any one
operating with steel instruments in
your mouth.
If a painful moment comes while
you are sitting in the chair you can re- !
lieve it instantly by taking a long
breath. Try it and see. - Leslie's
Weekly.

The Argus is in receipt this morn
ing of a message from Physical Dlrec-
tor Johnson of the Davenport Y. M. G.
A, in which he claims the champion
ship of the tri-cities for his team. The
record of the Y. NJ. c. A this year is
very good and they have not been de-
feated by tri-city team.
/ The coach has challenged Augustana
two or three times, but the collegians
have not replied to his def, and as yet
no game has been arranged between
the two teams. Over a month ago he
wrote a letter to the college and re-
ceived no answer A few days ago he
telephoned the physical director at
Augustana, and the college coach prom
ised that he would see what he could
do to arrange a game for tonight. But
johnson received no answer from that
time, and the game was therefore not
arranged.
Augustana Must Accept.
The Augustana quintet this year is
exceptionally fast and are contenders
for the Illinois collegiate title, and IL
they desire to again cop the trt-city
title they will have to accept the chal-
Ienge from Davenport or drop grace
fully out of the race.
Last year the collegians trimmed the
Davenport Y. NJ. c. A. in two out OF
three games thereby winning the title,
and if they should accept the chal-
lenge this year they would doubtless
put up a good hard struggle for SUI
premacy.
SociaIs to Meet Association.
That there is one Rock Island team
at least game to meet the fast Dayen-
port Y. NJ. c. A. squad, was shown yes
terday when the Socials accepted
challenge from Johnson to play game
here for the title. The two teams have
played one game, the Davenport quln-
tet capturing honors by the score of
SO to "a If the Socials win the game
which has been scheduled at the Rock
Island high school gymnasium for Sat
urday night, another contest would be
necessary to definitely decide the SUI
premacy of the two teams. If Daven-
port wins, however, the Socials will be
out of it as far as the championship
goes.
The Socials have an exceptionally
fast aggregation this year, and in the
first game at Davenport were minus
the service of Loyal Robb. With Robb
in the lineup Saturday night. they eS-
pect to win from the association quin-
tet.
