modern investigators.
while the remarkable habits of the
eel remained unknown, or defied the
calculation of the early observers, i'm
agination ran riot, fiction and fable
were accepted as fact, and the eel was
loaded with an incubus Of impossible
attributes. The most extraordinary
theories and beliefs have been enter
tanned regarding the spawning habits
of the eel, from the time of Aristotle
to the present day, The cause Of all
speculations and misconceptions has
been the fact that eels do not spawn
within the confines of the continents
or where human observation IS pos
sible

bodies or compact schools, are some
of the still obscure phases in the eePs
life.

different looking eel from the adult
that no person not properly instructed
could by any possibility recognize it.
It is compressed laterally to the thin
ness of a visiting card; it has a small
head large eyes, formidable, but ap-
parently non functional, teeth that pro-
ject forward and laterally, and the
body is transparent throughout, the
fish being practically invisible except
for its glistening black eyes.
The larvel eel undergOes an extra
ordinary metamOrphOsis. 1t remains at
sea for about one year, during which
time it attains a length of three inches.
It's Iarval state has then reached its
climax, and in its subsequent growth
for a time the eel actually becomes
smaller. There is a gradual change in
form from the ribbon like to the cyl
indrical, a shortening Of the body and

COLLEGE BEAT
NOORHEAD NORMAL

Fargo college walloped the Moorhead
normal team, 8 to 6, in a ragged game
at the normal school Saturday. The
c~%ntest was more in the nature of a
tryout for the teams than a real game,
and the boys showed up we'll. There
was q good crowd present, and Man
ager Unglaub of the Graingrowers Of
fciated as umpire.
Twilight and Ray were the battery for
the Hill school, while Carlander pitch
ed seven innings for the Normals and
was relieved by Mclean. who finished
the game. Bastian was behind the bat
for the Norma1ites, Twilight struck out
ten men. and Carlander six.
Considering that all but two Of his
men are Inexperienced, Coach Wat
kins is pleased with the result of the
game. He has five games scheduled
for this week. and thinks that by the

WEEKS REVIEW OF
COLLEGE BASEBALL
Conference Standing.

Chicago, May 4.-The no-hit game
which Des Jardiens of Chicago pitch
ed against Iowa and the scandal at
northwestern due to the discovery OF
ringers in the Purple lineup featur-
ed college baseball last week.
The Northwestern authorities can
celled some of their games, but after
the investigation Of the case which Is
to take place soon, probably will al
low the team to resume it's game.
Des Jardiens has shown so far that
he is worthy to fill the place of Baum
gardner, and should the latter recov-
er from his injury before the end of
the season, the Maroon nine appears
likely to retain it's title.
Illinois, still indicated in the con-
ference, had difficulty in winning it's
two games with Texas. The southern
ers proved surprisingly strong.
Events this week include two games
by Syracuse at Michigan. Thursday
and Saturday; a trip by Missouri, in
which the Tigers play two games with
Kansas and two with Ames; and
Ohio's tour, Chicago, Illinois, Indiana
and Purdue being on the schedule
which begins Wednesday,.

BREWERS FIGHT
Way TO The TOP

Chicago, May 4.-Clark's Milwaukee
champions fought their way to first
place in the American association race
last week by winning every one of the
hVe games weather did not prevent.
Louisville, which had forged to the
front in the preceding week, slipped
INTO a tie with the Brewers by letting
indianapolis win one game of a dou-
6le-header, and as rain stopped the
Colonies on Tuesday. while Milwaukee
won, and they lost to Minneapolis
SATURDAY., they dropped behind, al
though they made a clean sweep Of
the ST. Paul series.
Louisville clubs up to date have had
a little the better Of the first inter-
sectional clash in the Friday league,
but the leaders-St. Louis and Balti-
more-held their positions, first and
second respectively. Rain and bad
weather played havoc with schedules
and a~ttendances.
