 Pennsylvania scored IS points, Dart mouth IA, Michigan 1S, Harvard Il, Princeton 10, Bowdoin 5, Syracuse 3, Pennsylvania State and Massachusetts Institute of Technology 1.
 Two intercollegiate records and one worlds record were supplanted.

 Captain Murray of Stanford won the 120 yard high hurdles in 15 seconds flat, clipping 1-5 of a second from the former record
 The class of the Ithaca runners was emonstrated in the two-mile run when they took the first four places. Up to that stage, the other competing insti- tutions were within striking distance. Hoffmire, Frey and Corwith finished in the order named.
 Windgale won the mile run from Car roll of Michigan and Overton of Yale.
 Meredith's great races were due to the pace he was forced to set from the very start in order to hold the lead In the quarter mile Wilcox of Harvard stuck grimly at his shoulder until shaken off in the stretch so tired that Riley of Dartmouth and Grim of Cornell passed him. In the half-mle Bingham of Har- ward was beaten by less than two yards.
 feature of the day was the splendid showing made by Stanford and Califor- mia. These two universities combined entry did not equal the single teams of several of the larger eastern insti- tutons. Yale's second place was due in part to Captain Oler's excellent work in the field events. ably assisted by Braden. Hampden. Clifford. Buck and Nagel.
 Michigan's IS points came through Smiths first and second in the sprints. and Carroll's second in the mile. Prince ton uncovered very fast dash man in w. B. Moore, who accounted for nine of the Tigers 10 points by winning first in the 220-yard and in the 10O-yard dash.

 By hard work and with the help of the citizens of Wetumpka- enough money was | raised to buy new football uniforms an6 to start work on the Grandstand. After losing the first two games; oi football to colleges the "Aggies' came back strong and did not suffer defeat
 during the rest of the season. The req.
 son for this success was the work oi the whole team. Individual playing gave way to unity and machine-like actior featured the games. ,-s..s .-.. The basketball season was also success. ful. The Indians won five out of sever
 games played. Again team work fea | tured the games
 An abundance of material was on hand
 at the beginning of the baseball season but injuries and ineligibilities caused tho squad to dwindle down. However, by
 continual practice, the team developed into one of the best school teams in the state, losing only one game out of + played. Can any high school in the state boast of such a record?
 Towards the last of the year a new feature was added to the other athletics a track team. And on May 5, day that will live long in the memories of the young athletes who took part, the "Ag- gie' team was victor in an interschola stic field meet.
 The secret of success of the several athletic teams of the F. D. A. S.. is set forth by the old saying, Success comes tc those who honestly and earnestly

 The clean and sportsmanlike conduct of the athletes, the earnest and faithful work of the director, O.. s. Causey, the
 loyal support given by the faculty and
 students of the F. D. A. S., and the citi- zens of Wetumpka all combined to make

Perhaps the idea of trees of one va

variety of varieties? Also, why shade
trees alone, if these be understood to
eliminate all consideration Of peach,

TO EXTEND USE OF PARKS
Minneapolis Has Been consideriro
Suggestions for Improving Reerea-
ton System.

Minneapolis has been studying sug-
gestions for extending the use of
parks. The subject was embodied in
a report by F. S. Staley of the bureau
OF municipal research of the Civic and
Commerce association.
"The conspicuous flaw" SAYS the A..
port, "in the present recreation sys-
TEN is the inadequate provision for
active play of men and women more
than 20 years old. Children will come
to the Fairgrounds almost without in
VitatiOn. 1t is more difficult to reach
adults, vet they need the outdoor life
quite as much as the children. The
park is more logical center than
the school and park buildings can be
readily adapted to such purposes.
1.-The park board should increase its
efforts to make the parks real competi.
tors for the saloon, the commercial
dance hall and the movies. This will
involve obtaining park areas adjacent
to the thickly populated districts, q
policy to which the board is al

The survey also urges a park t.
care for the floating population.
