No Dancing For Track Men.

AmeS, March 26-Track Coach Ned
Merriam, of Ames, handed. dancing a
heavy dose of cyanide when, at spe-
cially called meeting Of all the candi-
dates for the varsity track and field
teams held in the trophy room Of state
gymnasium, he gave voice to the effect
of an absolute bar on dancing insofar
as men who may have varsity track
ambitions are concerned. Merriam's
anti-dance sentiment bore no particu-
lar prejudice against one dance over
another.
Merriam's edict to the men assembled
around the round table was somewhat
a mild revolution in the training pre-
scriptions for Ames track team. The
coach, the fastest half miller that ran
in the Brighton tryouts for the London
1908 Olympics, did not stop at dancing
alone, for he went on to sag that all
society affairs must be cut out.
