ON THE SPORT FIELD
DROP GAME
TO BOWDOIN

Delaware dropped the first
home game of the season to
Bowdoin College on last Satur-
day. The score was 5 to 2.
Collins started for Delaware.
His arm, which was still a trifle
sore from the southern trip,
gave him considerable trouble
andhe could not work effectively.
Bowdoin punched several runs
across in the first inning and
Shipley relieved Collins with
Challenger. For an inning, the
utility fielder had the Maine lads
guessing. Then they started a
fusilade of basehits, which, COM
bined with a costly error, chased
"Yonk" to the showers, and Joe
Rothrock assumed the burden of
the mound duty. Rothrock SEEM
ed to be in his old-time form.
Time and again he struck out
batters with men on bases. He
looked to be the best of the Della
ware hurlers, his great pitching
keeping the plate clear of enemy
spikes for the remainder of the
contest.
Delaware lost several oppor-
tunities to score. The failure of
Lowell to touch third on a long
hit by Wilson was costly, since it
lost a run and threw away a
subsequent chance to score. Both
outfelds had plenty of work
Ted Dantz's diving catch of a
fast liner was the feature play
of the afternoon. Graves, Bow.

May Reconstruct
Pershing Stadium
Contracting Firm Submits
Proposition to Build Plant
for 100000 Francs

Pershing Stadium, the site Of the
1924 Olympic Games, may be recon-
structed for the Olympiad. The con-
tracing firm which built the Stock
holm stadium in 1912 and the Ant
werp Olympiad amphitheatre in 1920
has submitted two propositions to the
French Olympic authorities which are
under consideration. The first calls
for the reconstruction of the present
structure, at cost of six million
francs, and the second, the building
of new stadium for 100000 francs.
The new stadium would have seat
ing capacity of $4,000 spectators in
place of the $4,000 provided for
in the present structure. During
the discussions regarding the site
for the 1924 meet objections
were raised to the Pershing
tadium owing to it's limited seat
ing capacity and the condition of the
structure itself. 1t was reported that
portions of the concrete were crumb-
ling away and would have to be re-
built, and that there were other de-
fects which made it unsuitable fol
the staging of an international meet
the caliber of the Olympic games.
1t had been the original intention Of
the French Olympic Committee to con
struct a mammoth stadium accommo
dating close to 100000 spectators
which would be a monument to thu
1924 games for years to come, ant
also furnish place for various inter
national and national athletic contest
for future generations. Lack o
available funds caused this project t
be Abandoned, but not without regre
and it is possible that compromis
of the two plans may result.

education has developed mental
measuring instruments which cannot
be ignored if our teaching is to bring
the best possible results. Perhaps it
seems strange to the average person,
to talk of mental measurements, but
it is not stranger than measuring
heat. Just as confidence in the ther-
mometer was gained after years of
testing thermometers until certain
standards were reached, so we are
gaining standards just as reliable in
the field of mental measurements. At
ter testing 100000 children in SPELL

men are supposed to do.
Il found an extra cracker in my
package at the lunch room when 1

ger said. when the war was on and
prices began climbing, one of the ways
out of raising prices was to take a
cracker out of the package fixed up for
the milk-and-cracker boys. 1t was a
great privation at first, but / soon
got used to IT.
Now that lost cracker has returned
and, having become accustomed to one
less, l feel all filed up after lunch

WHY. WOMEN TALK so MUCH
