"We Are Ten"

Young Garfield was a household
decorator, and one day he was called
to the country home of an eccentric
man, fother of large and interesting
family Of daughters.
One of his daughters acted as his
guide through the house, that he
might give an estimate for redecora-
tion. His attention was caught by a
motto, framed and prominently dis
played over the door of the room of
each girl, which read;
"Learn to say yes"
"Would you mind" asked the young
man, telling me what that motto
means ?"
"Oh," exclaimed the young woman
with a blush, that's one of fathers
ideas. There are ten of us girls, you
know"

His Backache Gone

More men have kidney troble than

backache, sore muscles, aching joints,
rheumatism, swollen ankles, and blur

take out life insurance and is refused
on account Of kidney trouble. Joseph

SPECIFIC ACTION
WILL BE TAKEN
ON SUMMER BALL
Intercollegiate A. A. May
Not Make Pro of Student
Who Accepts Board
FACULTY TO DECIDE

Every intercollegiate athletic assoca-
ton in the country is looking forward
with the keenest interest to the annual
convention of the Intercollegiate Assoca-
ton of Amateur Athletes of America on
Saturday. This is because it promises the
only specification likely to be taken this
year to solve the summer BALI problem
And, curiously enough, Nthe I. c. A. A. A.
A. is supposed to devote itself to track
and field athletics, not baseball.
The Executive Committee of this body
has drawn up certain amendments to the
eligibility code, which II adopted by the
association will not necessarily debar a
man from athletics because he has played
summer baseball The l. G. A. A. a. A.
recognizes the fact that there are condi-
tions under which a college man may
legitimately play baseball in the summer
and even accept free board without being
branded as a professional for the remain
der of his life.
The proposed changes in the amateur
code will specify these conditions, and
among other things pass rule by which
the proper faculty athletic authorities
may first approve the conditions so that
students amateurism may be safe. This
rule is not suggested primarily in the in
terests of the summer baseball player, for
1t Is intended to cover the case of the
track man who also plays baseball. But
if it is approved 1t will furnish a prece-
dent for the authorities to legislate di-
rectly on the baseball question.
In the meantime the baseball authori-
ties of all our big universities will feel
their laxity in not either organizing an
Intercollegiate Baseball Association to
deal with the question or calling a con-
ference 1t Is hard to expect the I. c. A.
A. A. A. to solve all the alleged evils of
college sports.
The greatest high jumping contest of
the year will be seen when the A. A. u.
championships are held in New York on
March is. 1t will bring together A. w.
Richards, OF Cornell University, the
Olympic champion; Wesley oler, of Yale
intercollegiate champion and record
holder; Joe Loomis. of Chicago and Harry
Barwise, of Boston. These four men are
all able to do feet inches or better
The record Is only feet 2A inches, made
by Sam Lawrence, the old Harvard
jumper, in 1911, so a new mark is almost
certain.
AS further incentive to good jumping
the management will provide cork mat
for the takeoff. Not only will this per-
init the jumpers to wear spiked shoes. but
the natural resiliency OF cork ought to
further help the men, but since cork run
ming tracks were criticised for the ease
with which they make record breaking
performances possible there is likely to
be some criticism If the high jumpers
make new marks under this condition.
