RECORD-BREAKINGNO
PROBABLE ON TRACKS
Reconsider Phrase When You Look Over Record,
Some Cinder MARKS Haze Stood for Twenty Years
and Still Look Good
BY GRA. iTLAND RICE

WHILE in the act of looking forward
w to the big year that awaits sports it
might be just as well to reconsider that
phrase. record breaking" which has
been 90 often applied.
Record breaking from the viewpoint
of general interest, possibly, but hard
ly SO from the standpoint Of breaking
records.
Here.arc a few targets, world record
targets, that ambitious athletes can aim
at.
100. yard dash: o 3-5 seconds--D. J.
Kelly, Spokane, Wash. Oh. =. Drew,
1905.
One mile run: minutes II 80 Sec

Shot put: 81 fcct-Ralph Rose, San
Francisco, 1909.
Hammer throw: 1S0 feet 81. inches
p. Ryan, New York, 1913.
Quite Layout
THESE few, among many others,
L form quite a layout for any ambi-
tious record hunters who may leap
gayly to the assault.
Pat O'Connor's broad jump record
has stood the test longer than any
other.
Pat must have had some kangaroo
blood in his veins, for he cleared more
ground in that flying jump twenty
years agO than any one has ever cleared
since.
a record that has lasted twenty years
in the face of such subsequent compe-
tition is nothing short Of phenomenal.
If Pat could have remained in the
air half breath longer he would have
reached the 25-foot mark, mark no
jumper has ever attained. Only one or
two have ever passed "a feet; % feet
q inches was quite good enough to win
the Olympic jump last year.
Flying Feet
IAN KELLY, Howard Drew and
- Norman Tabcr have also given the
elect something TO think over.
Kelly put away his . 80 dash for
the 100 yards fifteen years ago. Drew
tied this mark eight years later. Uu,
thc human greyhound who can peel off
100 yards in . % seconds hasn't yet
appeared.
II may be that some day some
sprintcr will be fast enough to send
his feet 100 yards in 8 seconds fat,
but that day will be more than mOntli
or two away.
Tabcr's record, a great one, might
be broken. A mile run in 4 min
utes 10 seconds is not beyond all pos
sibility.
Cnly combination of stamina and
speed in unusual quantities will pro
ducc any such turn, but It IS closer
to probability than Pat OConnor'
daring leap.

any difference whether they are CITIZENS or not
EVERYBODY is invited"
To carry out the plan of achieving absolute SIM
plicty in the entire days program the governors
secretary requested every one planning to attend
the ball to come in informal dress. =
During the afternoon progressive and Nonparti-
san women held meeting and perfected a perrna-
nent organization, with Miss Ada James of Rich
land Center president, Mrs. Granville Trace of
Dodgeville vice president and Mrs. R. L. Siebecker
secretary and treasurer. Miss James is very en-
thusastic friend of the League and made speech
in which she expressed her qualification with the
friendly cooperation between the League and the
progressive Republicans.
NEW GOVERNOR A FARMER
AS WELL AS A LAWYER
Wisconsn's governor is a farmer as we'll as
lawyer. With H. E. Austin of Boscobel he owns
284-acre farm. A new modern barn built bv
Blaine and Austin is one of the best in the state.
1t has concrete feeding floor for the hogs, and
running water system to all parts of the barn and
the feed lots. Since buying the farm the land has
been greatly improved by extensive fertilization
Mr. Blaine has been representative of his town
on the county board of supervisors mayor of Bosco-
bel, state senator and for two years past attorney
general. He was independent candidate for gov
ernor in 1912.
Mr.. Blaine born on farm in the town of
Wlngeville, Grant county, and graduated from the
Montfort high school and from the law department
of the Northern Indiana university at Valparaiso in
1896.
The legislature, which convened January 13, con-
sists of 100 assemblymen and 33 senator's. Twenty
four assemblymen elected had League Endorsement
and number Of those who were not indorsed by the
League are progressive La Toilette Republicans
from parts of the state where the League was not
organized. Governor Blaine, in his message, recon-
mended the legislation demanded by the Nonparti-
san league platform, and Leaguers are confident
that many Of the reforms demanded by present-day
conditions will be accomplished under the leader

the League, and in the Republican platform con-
vention voted against the anti-League plank cham
pioned by Morgan
The inaugural ceremonies began at noon and
from to o'clock in the afternoon there were re-
ceptions by the newly elected state officers. Five
thousand persons thronged the capitol and many
hundreds attended the receptions.
Senator Robert M. La Toilette acted as the hon.
orary escort for Governor Blaine, coming from
Washington on purpose to attend the Inauguration.
Inauguration day brought happy ending to the
senator, of stormy and bitter period during which
he has been persecuted, perhaps more venomously
than any other in public life his foes threat
ening his impeachment in Washington, while in
Wisconsin every effort was made by the reactionary
forces to besmirch his name and drive him from
public life. During 1920 in two primary elections
and in general election Senator La Toilette has
won pronounced vndication, and he recognizes
that in small measure this vindication has been
due to the active organization work of the Nonpar
tisan league. Those who took part in the cam

GREAT THRoNG CHEERS THE
SPIRIT OF THE WEST
The University regimental band furnished music
for the afternoon celebration and for the dance in
the evening. There was besides mighty chorus
choir drilled and led by Professor E. B. Gordon and
composed of the Madison Woman's Club chorus, the
Catholic Woman's club the Mozart club, the Mad
rgal club, and the Madison Choral union. A tre-
mendous cheer went up from the throng in the
capitol rotunda and galaries when the choir closed
the singing of "The West,' by Douglas Malloch,
with the chorus
"Men look to the East for the dawning things, for
the light of the rising sun;
But they look to the West to the crimson West for
the things that are DONE, are DONE!"
After the oath of office had been administered the
great silk flag of the battleship Wisconsin was un-
furled from the center of the dome of the capitol
and the audience joined in singing:
"On, Wisconsin! On, Wisconsin!
Dost thou hear that CALL

On, Wisconsin! On, Wisconsin,!

Wild Ducks are Tagged.

All hunters who kill ducks during
the coming season are requested to
carefully inspect the legs and wings
of birds secured. Five hundred Sas-
katchewan ducks have been tagged
for the purpose of ascertaining their
migration routes to their winter
homes. No one has ever definitely
ascertained just which routes were
taken by the migrating ducks or
why. No one knows what influences
a duck in his selection of a route
from the north to the south. In an
effort to ascertain this, five hundred
ducks were captured, tagged with
bands bearing the inscription, mani
toba Trading Co., St. Paul, Mimi" and
the birds released. Both legs and
wing bands were used. The leg bands
are on the right leg, the wing bands
are on the right wing, close to the
body. All hunters killing such ducks
are asked to report the desired inform
alton, which includes dates killed, kind
of duck, and exact locality, to the COM
pany named above. The tagging was
done under permit from the chief game
warden of the Province of Saskatche-
wan.

"The wine is good, but did not ord

ordered a small bottle of wine to
