In the rays Of Old and New

In the days of old when Yale was bold
And Harvard held her sway
In days now shrunk when Brown was
punk
And Pittsburgh could. not play
In days, alack, that wont come back
When Princeton had great teams
In days. all me- that used 20 be;
How long ago it seems.
In days of yOre the old Big Four
Had everything tied down
They scofIed at Pitt with nimble wit
And let their subs trim Brown.
They romped along with quip and song
And laurel on their brow
Hey, Yale and Penn and Harvard men
Where are the Big Four now?

SOUTH LEADER MAY
BE OUT FOR SEASON
Feared Injuries to Captain Bryan
Nixon in Fremont Fray May
Keep Him Out for Year.
SPRAINs KNEE IN BAD FALL

Captain Bryan Nixon, star center and
captain Of the South High basket ball
team, is out of the game for the week
and probably the season. according TO
announcement i'm the South Side yestdr-
day. In the second half of the Fremont
game Nixon was thrown heavily to the
floor, sprainlng his knee and causing such
deep bruises thatthey became infected
The result was the arrangement of his
whole system ard the prospects look ex-
ceedingly gloomy for his return to the
game.
The loss OF Nixon on the team greatly
lessons the confidence Of the South High
team who expected to hand the Council
Bluffs five a defeat Thursday evening on
the local ''Y' floor. Van Arthurton. vet
eran forward and utility man, will be
worked into the center position and
Shainholtz played at guard. The new
lineup Is formidable one and 1t is quite
probable that Patton will work up a
combination that will lower the colors
of the Bluffs team even i'm its crippled
condition.
The South High team tlas year is con-
sidered stronger than the last year five.
Last year the Bluffs school and the local
team divided honors evenly both losing
and winning game on their own floors.

2ND TERM

While candidates for county com

have entered the race, in the northern
district there has been nothing like a
grand rush to get into the game. Be
ing unwilling to see the office go beg
ging. w. A. Bryant, of Pocasset, the
present incumbent, has decided to be
a a,candidstc for reelection and the for
nal announcement OF his candidacy,
subject to the approval of Democrat
ic voters, is made today.
During the time he has served as
commissioner, Mr. Bryant has been
active at all times in the performance
of his official duties, attending all
board meetings and earnestly endeav-
oring to serve the best interests OF
the taxpayers of the county at every
stage of the game.
II assume that the citizens of Grady
county have been watching the work
of the commissioners and have been
keeping tab on what we have been
doing" said Mr.. Bryant, "and hence
it is out of order for me to make prom
ises. The people can judge from my
record better than from anything |
might say and all that I ask is that
nv record be fairly examined. II the
voters want me to serve them again
I shall be glad to do so and shall ap-
preciate their support.

many tonight
The cabinet has already ratified the
communication but the president may
review it with Chairman Stone and
Chairman Flood Of the foreign affairs
committees before it ~ sent.
Unofficial dispatches say Germany
will go to great lengths to prevent a
break. Ambassador Gerard sent an
important communication outlining
German sentiment.
1t is understood that the note re-
views the entire situation since the
sinking Of the Lusitania and declares
that the mere punishment of the sub
marine commander and reparation in
the Sussex case will not be sufficient.
1t is believed that an entire change
in the German submarine scheme will
be necessary TO preserve friendly re-
lations between the two nations.
