AGGIES team NAMED
TO RACE LEHIGH FOUR
Coach Byrd's Fast Relay Expects to
Trim Pennsylvania in Games
Saturday Night.

College Park. Feb s-Coach Byrd is
working his Maryland AEGie track team
at top speed these days I'm preparation
for the George Washington games. at
Convention Hall. Saturday evening. Byrd
is DESTROYS of winding up his indoor sea
son auspiCiousiy and is bending all his
energies toward this end. The Farmers
first quartet has been matched TO oppose
the crack Lehigh four in the headline
attraction of the evening.
The Aggies realize that they are 60
ing to have a mighty hard nut to crack
In the Pennsylvanians but are confident
Of giving them 4 spirited battle for lau-
rels. The team to face Lehigh will prob
ably be composed of Specr, Morris.
Grace, and Chapman. This team although
beaten by the University OF Virginia re-
Gently has downed the fast Hopkins
quartet and has proved itself TO be an
exceptionally wcll-balanced four. The
Farmers second relay is carded to ap-
pear against the first Washington and
Lee four In what will undoubtedly prove
most interesting event. In Baltimore
a few Saturdays ago the Generals barely
nosed out this quartet and the manage
mont rightly thought if another meet
Ing could be arranged between these
teams 1t would add greatly TO the at
Effectiveness OF the program. The four
which will lineup against Wsshington
and Lee will moro than likely be COM
posed of Schwartz. AIT. Buell. and
Brown. These are all boys but they have
shown exceptional class for their age and
should give a good account OF them
selves. The Aggies' third team will likely
run against some of the prep schools in
or around this section.
Tomorrow or as soon thereafter as the
weather permits the Aggics will start
outdoor baseball pfactice. For the last
week or SO Coach Byrd has simply been
waiting on the weather and unless IT
takes turn for the better soon the
Assies will be greatly handicapped
through lack of practice when they start
In on their schedule. The candidates
have been tossing the ball around In
doors and all but few declare their
arms to be in good shape. The battery
men have been working out for the
lastlew weeks and judging by their per-
formances the Farmers are going to be
unusually strong in the battery depart
ment this year. The Aggies first game
is with the Catholic University, at Brook
land, March 81.

The city council passed resolu-
ton today that will be heartily ap.
plauded by the firemen at the west

tion states that hereafter the nose
reel at the West Keokuk station
house shall not respond to first

there until the truck has returned.
This run is usually for nothing and the

some times two and three times
day when the truck goes out on flue
fires.
The councils action is the result
of complaints made by merchants anu
residents of West Keokuk that

of fire.
The council also passed resolu-
ton announcing the appropriations
for various expenditures for the fiscal
year beginning April 8, as required by
