IS HORSES WEATHER
TOUGH ENDURANCE
TEST IN VERMONT

Burlington. Vt. Oct. 1S.-Throush
alternating billiards and sunshine. the
horses that remain in the running in
the 1922 army endurance ride fought
their way today through the third day
of the test. While three of the sni-
mails were disqualified and eliminated
from the contest during the forenoon.
Is finished here tonight apparently in
good condition.
Todays weather furnished the hard
est feature of the days work. During
both morning and afternoon runs
horses and riders were at intervals en-
veloped in binding snow storms. and
the storms were accompanied by gales
that literally blew horses off the road
and caused at least one. Cragmorc. to
stumble ana fall. The horse escaped
serious injury.
Tonight, the horses remaining in
the race were more than half way
through their hard journey. While it
was thought possible that all might
not finish, tomorrow's run from this
city to .IeffcrsonNille and return being
regarded as the hardest course of the
ride. those horses that have survived
to this point. were looked upon as AL
possible winners.
Only one perfect time score was
made today. The honor went TO the
thoroughbred Gold Review. owned by
the United States Army remount SER
vice. and ridden by Major j.. NJ. VAIN
wright. All the others were over the
minimum time of hours allowed by
tie conditions. Never in the history
of these endurance rides has tho 500
mile journey been covered in the mimi
mum time OF A. hours. but if Cold
Review succeeds in covering tomor-
rows course in nine hours, it is prob
able that lie will break all time rec
ords for the run.

morning were all of Arab blood and

COLBY COLLEGE
Colby Practice in Gymnasium

The strenuous drilling of the foot
ball squad was interrupted yester-
day afternoon by the high rain with
rain and sleet which struck the field
about 40. The squad hustled into
the gymnasium and continued the
practice OF running off signals.
The first part Of the afternoon was
passed in drilling the backfeld men
in kicking from placement and also
dropping the oval over the bar. The
line men were given a great deal of
additional work with new plays which
require q great deal of time to run
off right. The teams were about
neady TO line up for a good hard
afternoons scrmmage when the first
shower struck the field. followed by a
heavy shower OF sleet and it was
found necessary to leave the field.
The rest Of the afternoon was pass
ed under the roof running through
all the signals and with the new
plays The squads were run by
" ernie Lampher and Levee, each
taking his turn with first the second
team and then the first. For time
Ituhn was sent back to his old posi-
ton at center and Burckel, the huge
guard of last season. was shifted to
the halfback position. Abbott was
again in the line at his old place.
This afternoon Coach Snow will
tir: TO make up for lost time and will
send his teams through one Of the
hardest scrimmages that they have
yet had. He is saying nothing. but it
is expected that he will have the new
plays down fine by the time the whis-
tie blows for the game with the
Black and White.
In chapel exercises yesterday morn
ing. J. Stitt Wilson, who has been in
Waterville for the past three days
lecturing under the auspices Of the
Colby Christian Association. said that
one point in his lecture Tuesday night
had been slightly misconstrued and
that he wished to correct that error.
At the very end of his long talk on
the relation of science to the social
and industrial problems Of today. Mr.
Wilson. in making his point clear said
that the survival Of the fittest, taking
that term in its most liberal mean
ing as used today, was fallacy. in
that ii was the working of this phrase
for self alone, which caused this state
ment.
The great point that Mr.. Wilson
brought out was that the world was
moved by love, which is born in all
mammals. those of the highest civil
lied type being man. The love Tor
others is what keeps this civilization
going. That the strong and ferocious
beasts Of the ancient times who lived
for self alone has become extinct
those Of the mecker type who have
thought for others survived.
Professor c. Harry Edwards has an
nounced that there are very few seats
left in the Woodrlan Stadium for the
game with Bowdoin Saturday after
noon and all those who desire seats
should get them at once in any OF the
stadium will seat three thousand peo-
pie and it is expected that record
breaking crowd will attend the game.

COBURN NOTES

OObOhN NOlES
The first meeting of the Coburn
Clarion board was held YESTERDAY at
the close of school. The Clarion is
the school paper published every
term. True Trefethern, editor Of the
paper and Willfred Simpson, busi-
ness manager were called on for
talks in chapel. The following
board of officers was announced:
True Trefethern. editor; Wilfred
Simpson, business manager; Richard
Drummond, assistant editor; Omar
Hall. assistant business manager.
Jake Goldberg, athletic editor;
Muriel Robinson, local editor; Mary
Howard. alumni editor, Ralph De-
Orsay. exchange editor, and M1rgaret
Vigue, literary editor. 1t was voted
to increase the numbers Of issues
from four to six, and also increase
the publication of the paper.
At the close of school joint meet
ing of the Y. W. c. A. and y. NJ. c. A.
was held in place of the regular meet
ing of the Y. w. c A.. Mr.. Whe!an
from the Student Friendship Fund
was present and he told the students
of the good work done during the
past year and of the need of the
work this year. He gave the fol-
lowing report.
During the years l921-192e the
Student Friendship Fund received in
contributions $345000, from 767
schools and colleges in the United
States, as we'll as from a limited
number of out side individuals and
special grants.
This amount. Joined with similar
gifts from the students of ~ other
nations. had made it possible to give
substantial help to about 10000
needy students and professors IN )s5
institutions of Central Europe, Rus
STA and the Near East. The types
of this student relief include: Food :;
about 100000 full or partial meals
were provided this past year; cloth
ing: 10000 articles of clothing have
been distributed: housing: relatively
small sums of money, plus govern
ment cooperation. have turned many
discussed barracks into plain but
habitable living quarters. Text
books: over 10000 text books have
been furnished in small libraries
available for groups rather than for
individual students. Medical felp.
Medical help have been given to q
large number of cases such as the
placing of tubercular students in
sanitoria. Development of Self Help
Schemes has also beeh an import
ant factor. L; has been interesting
to see the change in attitude on the
part of the students from one OF
indifference to one of keen interest
and desire for practical help and
suggestions. A noticeable by-pro.
duct of the work has been the spread
Of international good will, student
solidarity and friendliness.
Student conditions still remain SO
desperate that it has been found
necessary to continue the Student
Friendship Fund for the University
years 1922-1923. The main detectives
will be "a Relief of students in
Russia: CO Relief of Russian and
other refugee students in Europe and
the Near East: go Development and
