ILLINI ATHLETES
TO RACE AT PENN
Coach Gill Has Great
Hopes of Winning Col
!egiate Crowns.

Illinois University the winner Of the
recent intercollegiate Western track
and field championship, will be repre-
sented at the Eastern relays this year.
Last season, for the first time in many
years, Coach Gill found himself with
out any first class men TO send on to
the relay races IN 1913 Illinois won
the one-mile championship, and in 1914
they carried off the two-mile title.
Graduation cut the team to pieces
last year. and since then Gill has been
busy developing a new combination.
That he has been successful has been
shown by the victory of the lllini in the
recent indoor championships of the
West.
II is "a yet undecided as 70 wh,eS
team will enter at Pennsylvania great
relay carnival. 1t is most probable
that q team will enter one of the
medley championships on Friday, April
2S. and probably the two-mile event
on the Saturday following.

PLAYERS who are sure OF starting IN
the contest are Captain Johnston, at

all veterans OF last year. Coach Pat

positions. The pitchers, Sullivan,

better than was even dared 70 hope
for that quite a load of worry has

With the arrival of spring the out
door season in athletics OF New YORK
University is getting under way. Frank
II. Cam, the athletic director, is send
ing his charges out on the roads around
the university for short 'cToss-country
runs each day, special attention beng
paid to the freshmen.
The indoor track season just ended
was marked by the breaking Of three
college records. Alvin Lent, captain or
the Violet track team, lowered the time
for the quarter mile TO 30 40 seconds.
This Is considered the best time that
will ever be made on the indoor track
in its present condition. Howard Cam,
football star, basketball captain-elecI
and the stronghold of the Violet track
team in the weight throwing events,
turned in two records. Cam hurled
the l6-pound shot 80 feet u inches,
surprising the mark set by II. N. Con-
neliey. 'O3, by feet pa inches. Cam
also established new indoor record
for the l2-pound shot put with heave
of II feet 2 inches.
As the day for the annual prepare
tory school day games draws near Man
sger Webb of the track team, who is IN
charge of the meet, reports that, while
entriss are coming in rapidly, several
schools have so far failed TO send in
their blanks. The new features which
are TO be introduced are expected to in
crease the popularity of this annual
fixture. J. j. McHugh. Of the Irish
American A. c., has notified the man
agement that he will be on hand 20
start the boys in the track events.
The rain Of last Monday and Tuesday
served to melt all the snow on Ohio
Field, but 1t left the ground in a muddy
condition. Mr.. Cam gave out orders
that no one was to walk on the track
or field until both were dry. This pre-
vented the baseball candidates from
getting out for practice until late in

Every thing as well as every body is

Are we reforming up or down?
The other writer contended that
St. Paul was the only man who i'm
proved by reform. Can it be that he
has never heard of Jess Willard, Mary
Pickford, Charley Chaplin, Ty Cobb,
Ray Schalk and a host of others who
are constantly reforming to the
good, as well as Billy Sunday and a
lot of the clergy who are reforming
the people into a lot of intellectual
monkeys?
Paul was backward reformer. He
wouldn't allow a woman to teach;
they had to keep. quiet. The church
women and clergy have largely side
tracked Paul He taught the people
to obey the king and quenched their
aspiration for democracy. He was
the originator of what is known as
Christianity, which taught the peo-
pie that they could not do anything
for themselves, but must look to the
sky for help. He was strictly of no
account.-D. T. SWeetIand, 225o S.

up! And if you can't cheer I'D! sneeze
up! This grip has been making folks
hate themselves, off and on since the
18th century, and more. too, very
likely.
Way back in the middle ages Italy
recorded an epidemic of this ''inf1u-
enza." 1t had a much longer and
uglier name, but it was this same
sneezing, coughing. sweating and
swearing affair that's now making
dear to you the handkerchiefs of
your entire family and converting
you into a blasphemer of the kindly,
innocent weather man. But those
old Italians, having no weather bu-
reau goat, blamed it upon the inf1u-
ence of stars and comets, a proceed
ing that will do you quite as much
good as cussing our worthy head of
the local weather bureau.
Again, when Wellington and Ma
poleon were trying to get at each
other in the Peninsula campaign, all
Spain suddenly took "the grip" and
the English and French armies &C
tually couldn't fight, owing to the
sneezing, etc., ETC., for some time.
They wanted to fight awfully bad,
too, being especially ugly, but every
last man of them was too busy fight
ing his own nose.

And what do you think is the cause

authority? Just human dirtiness.

in some other part of the Orient, the
great masses of humanity become

poverty or war; and their emana-
