Sport Wheezes
BY CLUG-

A New York funny says that Jess
Willard first saw the light in the land
where the bull gets his breakfast.
What is it, an insult to Kansas or
compliment to the bull?
Guy Chamberlain. the Husker grid
iron hero, knows how to press the
limelight button all right. Indiana
polls reports that he has been signed
by her AA club and Wichita an
nounces that he wants to join the
Wolves.
1t is reported that Charley Mullen,
former Lincoln w. l. player, will
probably land regular berth with
the n. Y. Yankees this season.
Twenty-four days from today Will
lard and Moran will pull off their lit
tie performance at Madison Square
Garden, New York.
/ In the article written for the State
Journal today Willard says he ex-
poets to be in the pinkest of condition
on the date of the mill. And it be-
| hooVeS him to be.
Although Moran may be the easiest
opponent he ever met, there are too
many dollars at stake for the cham
pion to take the slightest unnecessary
chance.
1t doesn't take a punch with the
kick of an ostrich in it to knock out
the biggest of men, and if Moran
should accidentally plant the right
kind of a blow in the right spot it
might prove disastrous if Jess were
not at his fittest.
And in addition to this, Willard
needs to be in the best of condition
because he should want a knock out.
If he wins on mere points, the cham
pion can count himself just $47,500
better off than he was before the bout.
But If he makes the Pittsburgher turn
up his toes, he will win a bonus worth
as much as the purse itself in acquir-
ing a reputation as a real fighter
Friday afternoon the washburn
basketball team will go to st. Marys
to play the Catholics. The Ichabods
have placed their hope of a confer
ence victory in this game and have
based their hope on the showing St
Marys has made. However, the Cath
olics are always strong on their own
court, and a close contest may be ex-
pected.
Local baseball followers who know
anything of the ability of Lefty
SprouL, the K. U. player who has
been signed by the Savages, believe
that his ability to make the team will
depend upon his hitting. If Sproul
does make good, he should prove q
valuable asset to the club.

BELGIAN NEUTRALITY

The first treaty by which the neu-
tra1ity of Belgium was guaranteed by
the powers was signed by representa-
tives of Great Britain. France, Russia,
Prussia, Austria and the Netherlands
seventy-seven years ago today, April
10, 1889. This treaty arose out of the
conference held in London on the Bel,
CLAN question, by the decision of which,
the treaty of 1881, when Belgium
gained its independence from Holland,
was maintained. The treaty of 1889
bound the powers signing it as guar
antors of a treaty signed the same day
between the King of the Belgians and
the Kingio the Netherlands, provid-
ing that Belgium forms an independ-
ent state of perpetual neutrality
When the Franco Prussian war broke
out the Be1gians feared that their
neutrality might be invaded, and ap-
pealed to. England, with the result that
another treaty of neutrality was
negotiated by the British government
and signed by both Prussia and France
After the surrender of Sedan MANY
French soldiers fed into Belgium, but
gave up their arms at the border and
were interned.

LORD BYRON, THE
POET AND PATRIOT

Every year for ninety years, on the
nineteenth of April, a London news
paper has published among its death
notices a memorial paragraph to
George Gordon Noel, Lord Byron, who
'sDied nobly for Greece at MtssoIong-
hi. April 10, 1924 This tragic ami
versary is of special interest at this
time, because it was just a hundred
years ago, in April 1916, that the inn
mortal bard gazed for the last time
upon the fading shores of his native
land. Byron's high descent, his In-
teresting face, his chivalric bearing
and the romance of his travels as
well as his literary fame, had made
him for a brief space the idol of Eng
1ishmen and, more especially, of Eng
his honor and among men Byron col
lars, knots and ties came into fashi on
His triumph was brief. The whole
nature of the poet was so totally at
war with English notions of conven-
tionality and propriety that. the con-
servatives held aIoof from him, while
the church people Stunned him as
they would an infide1. His unfortu-
nate marriage, contracted in 1915,
was with a lady as steadily governed
by the dictates of propriety as he
was wildly tossed about by the i'm
pulses of passion and imagination His
separation from his wife gave his en-
emies a chance to turn upon him
and rend him and in April of 1915
the poet involved in pecuniary diff
ficulties and with a heart bleeding
from a thousand real and imaginary
wounds, babe farewell to England.
After a few months in Switzerland
he went to italy. At Ravenna he
lived in the most intimate relation
with the beautiful Countess Guiccio-
Ii, and when her father was expelled
from Ravenna. for political reasons,
he took the family under his protec-
ton and removed to Pisa, and after
| wards to Genoa The loss. of his IL
legitimate daughter Allegro, and the
tragic end of y his friend Shelley,
plunged him into melancholy, from
which he. was aroused byi his deep
sympathy for the struggle of Greece
against her Turkish masters. He de-
termfned to devote his life and Gf1is
fortune to the Hellenic cause, and
LANDED in Greece late in 1928. He
helped to defend Missi1onghi against
| the besieging forces of the Sultan. His
| health, never good, soon gave way
and on April 10, 1924. he died OF a
fever 1t has often been alleged that
had Byron lived to see the final tri-
umph of the Greek cause, he would
in all probability have been offered
the crown Of the kingdom.

"PREXY"

Fl DIR. John Grier Hibben, the success
OF of DIR. Woodrow Wilson as presi-
dent of Princeton University, was born
ffty-f1ve years ago today in Peoria,
ILL., He was graduated from Prince
ton in 1882 and then continued his
studies 1t Princeton Theological Semi
nary and the University of Berlin. DR..
Hibbens father was a minister, and
the son followed in his footsteps and
was ordained to the Presbyterian min
istry in 1887. After four years as pas
tor of a church in Chambersburg, Pa,
he returned to Princeton in the capa-
city of instructor Of logic and psyche
1ogy. This was shortly after the future
president of Princeton and the United
States had Joined the faculty as pro-
fessor of Jurisprudence and politics
In 1898 DR.. Hibben was given the chair
of logic, and retained that post until
his elevation to the presidency upon
the retirement of DR.. Wilson to be-
come governor of New Jersey. Many
other educators were mentioned for
the position, but after a thorough con-
sideration the trustees decided that
Etibben was the best man for the place.
In the agitation for and against pre-
paredness for war on the part of the
United States, Princeton's +'prexy'' has
taken the side of those who favor a
greater military establishment and
more general military training. Under
present conditions, he declares, the
young college men of America would
give enthusiasm of faith and the 10y
al devotion of patriots, but without
knowledge, skill, or experience in the
arts of warfare and that under the
possible circumstances of sudden sur
prise of an invading enemy, these
young men would be led to slaughter
like cattle to the shamb1es.''
: DR.. Hibben has also taken occasion
ITO denounce those foreign-born citi-
zens of the United States whose devo-
ton to the land of their adoption
seems to be a divided allegiance. LET
US not shrink from calling things by
their right names, ''says DR.. Hibben,
tand therefore let us brand as traitor
whoever lives in our midst, enjoying
the protection and prosperity of our
country. and yet dares to express by
word or deed the spirit of hyphenated
loyalty. There is welcome within our
border for all sorts and conditions of
men, but no place and no quarter for
