lege for Women, he states that on ac-
count of lack of dormitory facilities
hundreds of young ladies will be turned

charge of the appointment in their re-
spective counties.
Fully 500 or more new applications

an average number of old Students will

little room for new students.

WORLD'S RECORD WILL FALL IN
 100-M|LE RACE DECLARES MILTON

Toft asked that the first lap be made with a rolling start. Chevrolet's car has three speeds. while Mnton's has but two. Consequently, Milton wants the ears to be wide open as they cross the tape. Chevrolet would have an ad- vantage if the start were standing, for he could shift his gears quicker than Milton. Toft. not thoroughly acquaint- cd with the insides of his Frontonac, thought he would play safe by accept ing a rolling start. Milton won the battle ry calling the up side of a coin.
 Chevrolet insisted that a white line be marked in the middle of the tracl; on the turns and the leading man be forced to keep to the inside of the line if a competitor is trying to pass. Mir Bullard settled the point by arranging for a special flag to-be shown the leader if he appears to be blocking an over taking car.
 The division of the prize money also came in for much discussion. Under the original agreement between the drivers and the promoters the division of the purse was to be left to the con- testants and was to be decided three days before the race.

HIGH SCHOOL Il NOTES

The assembly to boost the Coyote Alumni football game yeas called yes terday morning during the fourth pc riod and if the football team gets as much support on Saturday as was shown in that assembly there is not the least chance O. them losing. The program was headed by Charles Gilli- land, appealing to the students to SUD- port the team this year. Mir. Elliott then gave one of his very serious" talks which kept the students in an uproar for ten minutes The fem
 mine members of the faculty organized a quartet which would be hard to beat anywhere. The gentlemen members, not to be beaten, organized a quartet of their own, which scored a big hit. Mir Benj Taylor and his assistant put on their vaudeville which made a de- cided hit. In appreciation of the fact that there was such good assembly. the students went to their classes and
 worked diligently all the rest of the afternoon
 The Coyote Cheer Book made it's appearance in the assembly yesterday.
 The book contains ali of the old yells and some new ones, besides all of l the school songs. This book was put out by James Miller and James Skelly. ! The whole student body owes a great | deal to these two gentlemen who made
 the "Coyotte Cheer Book" possible. i The season ticket campaign is ] tagging greatly. The two biggest class es in the school, the Sophomores and ! Freshmen. are not coming across as they should. Just a little over one- ] fourth of quota which has been sub scribed to date, which is a poor rec
 ord for Phoenix high school. Students
 get to work and put this campaign ! over.
 The big parade was pulled off last
 night without a hitch. The students
 turned out and really put it over 100 per cent That's the kind of spirit that puts the Phoenix high -chool on the map.
 The Freshman girls will hold party this afternoon at 4 o'clock at the Y ! w. C. A. All Freshman girls are cor
 dially invited to be present.
