What Healthy Nerves
Mean TO You

A strong, vigorous nervous system
means health, strength and ability to
endure hardship and also TO enjoy the
full pleasures Of life.
The man with healthy nerves accom-
plishes greater tasks with less fatigue.
He has a clear eye, an active brain
and q sound body. He Is enabled to
think better and work faster. He has
energy. With healthy nerves he can
overcome the hardest competition, be
successful and gain wealth.
The woman with healthy nerves Is
never Iistless, weak or hopeless; she
Is not irritable, she never suffers from
hysteria, she has reserved surplus
Of endurance. Healthy nerves win

SYRACUSE ENTERS
.TWO-MILE RELAY
Looks, Like Best Team
Against Yale in the
Penn Games
GREAT RACE EXPECTED

Coach Tom Keane, OF Syracuse Univer-
sity, stated today that Syracuse would run
a team in the two-mile championship at
the Penn relays next month and in the
distance medley relay Syracuse will have
a very good two-mile team, as in Peterson
and Newkirk Coach Keans has two fast
half-milers. Peterson has beaten minute
55 seconds for the half, while Newkirk can
do l minute 81 seconds. The latter i'm
proved considerably this winter, and Coach
Keane would not be surprised to see him
also do 1 minute 55 seconds. Watson is
another runner who can do better than 2
minutes.
This race now promises to be a great
contest. Yale, Cornell, Pennsylvania and
Notre Dame will all have fast teams, while
Michigan and Chicago may also be in this
event. 1t is quite probable that the winner
will make a new record for the distance.
Entries for the class races close tomorrow
for the relay carnival. No post entries will
be received this year. Three hundred and
ten teams are now on the list, a higher fig
ure than ever known before in the history
of college and scholastic sport.

SWIMMING TITLE
Columbia Is Defeated for
College Laurels, Despite
Vollmer's Great Work
WINS THREE FIRST PLACES

PRINCETON, N. J., March 31.-Yale is
the collegiate swimming champion OF the
season. Despite the marvellous work of
Captain Vollmer, of Columbia, the Eli
aquatic squad easily defeated the New York
team for the championship of the Inter
collegiate League by the score of 35 to 1S.
The two teams were deadlocked in a tie
for first place at the end of the regular
season, and their arrangements decided to
hold the title contest in the Princeton pool
Volmer won the fifty, hundred and two
twenty-yard swims for his team over Ellis
stars, and nearly pulled the Columbia four
to victory in the relay but he was abso-
futey unsupported and his efforts were OF
no avail.

One of the early golf writers had sys-
tenn of scoring that would make terrific
hit with the buffers of today.
Back in the gray dawn of the game in
America this golf writer was switched from
another assignment to cover a tournament.
He had never seen a golf course nor had
he ever seen golf ball struck. 1t seems
that his boss was one of the entries. The
aforesaid boss returned 100, while the low
man had n. In his story the next day
the golf scribe had his boss leading the
field with perfect 100, "the result of
brilliant golf, twenty-three strokes beyond
the worst score, H."
If the high scores were counted as in base
ball or football the duffer would at last
come into his own. The system seems per-
fectly proper, inasmucE as there are ten
golfers who play over 95 to one who plays
under 80.
On Looking Up

good holes played were where looked up

an THE edge of April, the long gSeen
" journey now lies just ahead. The A.d
now lies open, where, in the immortal words
of Aristotle-"Its great life, if you don't
weaken"
On the National League Race
The National League race may rest in
doubt, but none Of this doubt is entertained
by American League clubs. Without ex-
ception they all figure the Giants as their
1912 world series opponents, and few give
any of the others even look-in.
We have talked with anywhere from
twenty to twenty-five American League
players, and without exception they figure
the Giants as sure thing as sure things
can ever go in baseball.
This belief. however, is not entertained
by at least three men. You are entitled to
one guess as to who the trio is or are. You
were right-Wilbert Robinson, George Stall
lings and Pat Moran. These three veterans
have seen too many sure bets overturned
before in this rckety pastime to lose heart
before blow is struck.
The Upset Margin
The one queer feature of this National
League race is that so many believe the
Giants have a good chance to be beaten
lust for the reason that they now look in
vincible.
They will go well back and pick out the
supposedly cinch episodes of the past where
painful upsets resulted, and knowing the
devious ways of the dope they still accord
Brooklyn. Philadelphia and Boston gooc
outside chance.
But the American League isn't figuring II
this direction. Those who believe they have
a chance to win are already aiming at th'
Giants.
