Rome under the Caesars that Clau-

consequently the run could not be

SPORT NOTES

Bangor News: Art Smith, long a
successful coach and trainer at the
University of Maine. now with
Michigan Agricultural college, was
in Bangor, Tuesday on his way to
Pitman's camp at Norcross for a va
cation stay. He was accompanied
by Decay Ernst, captain of the
Michigan track team. Mr.. Smith
while here received kilograms ac-
cepting terms for an engagement as
trainer of football teams and trainer
and coach of Iowa State college at
Ames, Iowa, which has a student
body of over 5000. The salary of
$500 is a considerable advance over
his present pay, and the position
came to him entirely unsolicited,
which is decided compliment to his
