COLLEGES TO
RETAIN ATHLETICS

Chicago, H.. April 16.-In the first
flush of excitement following the dec
laration OF war a number OF colleges
decided to give up athletic sports. The
spirit of this action was no doubt com.
mendable. but rather hasty as shown
by the statements OF number OF
army ofiicers a few days later. who ad-
vlsed colleges to retain their athletics
and to add a certain amount OF mill
tary drill.
There is NO question about the
patriotism Of American colleges. Un-
dereraduates have hocked to the
colors in every war We have been IN.
Some OF the larger colleges sent com
plete battalions during the civil war
Army oflcers recognize this spirit OF
patriotism. but they also realize that
while these young men are IN college,
before they are called to the front,
they will be better prepared for mill
tray service II they continue their ath'
letic activities.
Military training added to the regu.
lar course of college athletics is bound
to aid in physical development. Base
ball players who have participated IN
military drills during the training sea
son are unanimous in their opinion
that they have been benefited.
When the call comes for these col
lege youths they will 10.
Athletics and military drill com.
bined will only make them more htted
for the work Uncle Sam will have laid
out for them.

SOtrTHWESTERN IOWA
CROPS HIT BY COLD

Tabor. April 16. Crop conditions IN
southwestern Iowa are by no means
ideal. owing to the severity OF the past
winter AS spring advances the dam
age done becomes more and more ap-
parent =,
Not only winter wheat. but clover
and the grasses have been largely dis
troyed by freezing out. Most OF the
farmers lost all their wheat. Many
who have been examining their mead

clover all killed. the only prospect In
clover being where sufficient seed ma
tured from the old crop last fall to re-
seed the ground to some extent this
spring. Alfalfa also suffered. some
newly seeded fields showing no sign
of life. while others have survived fair

to have been less complete In the al

BASEBALL SEASON
WILL OPEN SOON

Grinnell. April 1e.-Baseball prac-
tice preparatory to the 1917 season
has begun at Grinnell during the past
week and interest In the sport is I'M
usually high. A large squad Of men
are working ont under the tutelage Of
Captain Earl Macy of Lynnville. and
judging from prospects. Grinnell will
enjoy successful season.
The varsity season this year has
been cut down from ten to Ave. The
class series is to receive especial en-
phasis, a total Of twelve games to be
played to decide the championship Of
the school. The series will start on
Thursday Of next week, and two games
will be played every week until the
schedule is completed.
Varsity prospects are exceptionally
good. A veteran team Of two years
experience is on hand, and new ma
terial from the freshman class looks
promising. A strong pitching staff will
be built up from such candidates as
Schult, Neumann and Augustine. The
inheld is practically intact from last
year, first base being the only vacancy.
The outSeld has plenty of good candi-
dates and will be filled by slugging
trio. Ability to clout the ball seems to
be characteristic Of the entire team.
Judging from early season practice.
The varsity schedule Is as follows:
Simpson at Indianola., April %.
Cornell at Grinnell. May II.
Ames at Grinnell, May %.
Coe at Grinnell. May 20.
Iowa University at Iowa City, June I.

Grain Review

Chicago. April 1e.--scarcity Of offer
ings and the eagerness with which they
were snapped up hoisted wheat prices
far above previous records. The May
delivery which was especially in de-
mand went to $3.50 4 bushel as against
$2.24k to 1925 at Saturdays finish.
New crop figures at first showed
downward tendency on account OF bet
ter weather conditions, but later rallied
owing to strength Of cash wheat and
the May option. Opening prices which
ranged from 2hc decline to 1Ac ad-
vance with May at $685. to s2.26 and
July ar s1.9oA to $1.s0h. were followed
by decided upturns all around.
In subsequent dealings May wheat
course and reached s2.37%, an ascent
Of 12Ac to 13Ac. Late months also
made sensational rise with July up to
$500, jump Of Sc to S1sc influenced
by purchases that appeared to be
largely for seaboard account.
Foreigners were credited with buying
May. Highest prices came after the an
United States visible supply total The
close was Hurried, 3%c to 11kc net
higher with May at S2.35k to $2.36 and
july at 1891 @1.991s.
Corn as we'll as wheat jumped to new
top figures. Reports indicated an urgent
demand for shipments to the south.
After opening unchanged to \ higher.
the market reacted little but then
scored a general advance we'll above
Saturdays finish.
The extraordinary upturns In wheat
kept the corn market on the advance.
The close was strong at 2&c to 47sc net
advance.
Oats hardened with other cereals.
Gains, however, were small as there
was much selling by scattered longs.
Weakness in the hog market had a
depressing effect on provisions. Pack
ers We're selling.
