exceed that of last season, with the
exception of wheat; the aggregate pro-
duction will be in excess of all do
nestle demands. The average yield
per acre is larger than for some years;
the quality is excellent, and the short
age in the acreage has been more than
overcome. In the past two months
there has been complete reversal OF
the dismal forebodings that attended
the paintings under climatic restric-
tions; ideal weather conditions have
turned the prospect of partial failure
into bountiful harvests, and promise
of still better return in the crops that
come to harvest later in the season.

Of the purse, calls attention to the
fact that this sporting way of do
ing things still holds in England
and France.
When a strange boxer arrives in
England looking for action he must
put up a side bet to back up any
challenge he makes. This method
of procedure prevents the public
from being swindled by third rat
ers posing as champions.
1t also enables a stranger to get
quick action. But when a foreigner
strikes these shores he is at liberty
to make any claim he chooses no
matter how far from the truth il
may be. AS a result the fans are
constantly fooled by the unsupport-

IAVELIN SEVERELY
INJURIES STANSBURY

Morgantown, w. Va, March 2S.-
Director of Athletics Harry A.
Stansbury had a most remarkable
escape from death here this after
noon on the West Virginia Univer-
sity athletic field when a jayelin.
hurled more than 100 feet by a
member of the track squad, struck
him in the neck. The shaft pierced
the neck on the right side and
came out directly beneath the chin.
Only the fact that the arrow point
passed between the jugular vein
and the carotid artery saved his
life.
Fearful of extracting the javelin
on the field, Stansbury walked al
most quarter of a mile with the
shaft in his neck. DIR. Akron Ar
kin, of the University College
of Medicine, removed the javelin.
Stansbury was taken to a hospital,
where his wound was dressed and
it was stated that he would re-
cover. He later walked to his
home.
