George w. Hill, Jr., for the past
ten years track and football coach
at the Technical High school, has
resigned as coach of the track cam
didates and will be succeeded by
Harry DeWire, of the Tech faculty
When Coach Hill took charge of
track at Tech ten years ago the
Maroon candidates went over to the
island and won a single bronze medal
for their afternoons work.
Gradually the Maroon athletes
came to the front and within four
years had won the State champion
ship. For the past six years under
the direction of Coach Hill, Tech has
not had an equal in track in the
entire State.
At State College. Pittsburgh, La
fayette and the Island, the Maroon
track and field men cleaned the best
High schools of the State, directed
by Hill. The championship Of Ohio
was added to that of the keystone
State last year at the Pltt meet.
Coach Hill retires because OF other
outside activities.
The new director of track affairs
is a former Bloomsbury Normal and
Bucknell athlete. While at these in
stitutions he took part in the broad
Jump and all the dashes. For eleven
years his record for the broadjump
has stood as a mark at Bloomsbury.
This is his first year at Tech. but in
the short time he has made many
friends among the Tech student
body.

the baton and made up several yards

Considering that none of the men
had run the quarter as yet this spring,
that none had ever run on an indoor
lack and that the invitation was re-
ceived last Tuesday, Tech is to be
congratulated on the splendid show
ing that was made. This event Will

ADVANTAGES OF FARM MULE
Will Take Better Care of Himself Than Ho~se-Aiso Less Subject
 to Digestive Disorders.

The mule has certain decided ad- vantages as a work animal. For the man who does not know how or is un- willing to give his horses reason able amount of care, the mule is the better animal, because he will take better care of himself than will the horse.
 The mule is naturally more able to stand hot weather than is the horse. He win slow down when the work be- comes hard and the weather hot, whereas 8 horse will begin to fret, and thus will be even more likely to become overheated. Hence, a mule is safer in the hands of careless or in- competent driver.
 The mule requires less grain and will readily consume more roughage than will a workhorse doing the same amount of work. The mule is less subject to digestive disorders.
 Another important consideration is that a mule does not depreciate in value so much from age and hard usage as does horse.
