PRINCETON HONORS MEMORY
OF BAKER SAGE AND ATHLETE"

Princeton, n. j., Feb. GA warm
tribute to Capt. HOBBY Baker, the
Princeton athlete recently killed in
France, was paid by President John
G. Hibben of Princeton University at
memorial services her ystrday. Six
aviators, sent by the War Depart
ment, acted as d guard of honor and
a large number of students an dvis-
itors attended the services, which
were held in Trinity church.
The deep feeling of our hearts to-
day finds but poor expression in
words of our admiration and love for
Hobart Baker" said DIR. Hibben. 'Ev-
er since he entered the university as
d young Freshman he had been the
pride of Princeton. We had hoped
soon to welcome him home with his
honors and his laurels and it was with
passion of grief that the great COM
pany of his friends heard of his death.

OUIMET MASSACHUSETTS
COLE CAPTAIN

That President Locke of the Mass
achusetts State golf team did the
logical thing in naming Francis
Ouimet as captain of the State team
will be recognized by a majority of
golfers. He is looked upon as Mass
achusetts's foremost amateur golfer
and there is every reason to believe
that he will make a, fine leader. There
is no one more intimately acquaint-
ed with the golfing abilities of the
Bay States leading amateur and no
one who could be depended upon to
be less prejudiced in his recommen-
dations for appointments to the team
or for placing individuals in the
matches
