OLeary is a foxy Irishman and a
wonderful developer of young ball

probably try out with Dan this
spring. They are Jack Bolbendahl,
catcher for the DeniSonS and indie
pendents last season, and Glenn

OHIO DEVELOPS
SPORT FOR ALL
TO HIGH POINT
BIZ LAWRENCE PERRY.

Copyright, 1922. by The Argus.)
One of the most significant events
in the yearly calendar of college
sports takes place on Saturday in
the gymnasium of Ohio State uni
versity, where some two thousand
students will compete in the eighth
annual intramural festival which
marks the close of the indoor sea-
son. The program includes nearly
a hundred events calling for $50
cups, medals, ribbons and other
trophies. The whole affair is pure
ly intramural, the climax of sea-
son which has seen mole than 1000
participants.
Ohio State shines in varsity
sports. in football and baseball es-
pecially, but her prestige in this
respect is as sounding brass COM
pared to the extraordinary demon
stration of the success of her theory
of sports for all which will mark
the present week end. Almost every
registered sport was employed to
intramural use throughout the year
and the college classes, fraternities,
boarding clubs, church, military or
CARNATIONS, freshmen, even the fac
ulty, were drawn upon for teams
and individual athletes. 1t would
be well for conference colleges and
institutions in other sections of the
country to study Ohio's intramurai
system with view of application.
Navy Crew Busy.
Richard Glendon, coach of the
navy crew, says that most crafty
ing progress has been made by his
oarSmen and that while the acad-
envy authorities have not as yet
passed upon the qeustion of the
participation of the midshipmen at
Poughkeepsie, the triangular race
on the Charles river among crews
of Harvard, Princeton and the Navy
is sufficiently important to give
Zest to the preparations now going
forward on the Severne. Being the
most southerly of all rowing insti-
tutions, the Annapolitans have held
considerable advantage over their
rivals in the matter of practice un-
der actual rowing conditions. While
Yale, Harvard, Pennsylvania, SYRIA
cuse and the rest were grinding
away on the rowing machines the
midshipmen were out On the water
in their shells. This advantage
will probably be demonstrated in
regattas lying ahead. OF the eight
which cleaned up at Poughkeepsie
last year and lost only to Prince
ton, only one man, Moore, who
sat at No. 4, has been graduated.
From the west comes word that
which ever crew wins the Pacific
coast championship next month and
thus earns the right to representa-
ton at Poughkeepsie, will worthily
uphold the prestige of the country
beyond the Rockies. Both Washing
ton and California Fights have been
picked and barring lapses in form,
or great improvement in the sweep
swinging of men now in the second
boats, no material changes in the
present seating arrangement are ex-
pected, either by Ed Leader, the
Washington coach, or Ben Wallis
Of California.

Wrong Hot Stuff

DOUGLAS-Juan Guzman might have explained to customs house off Cials yesterday afternoon, when he crossed over from Agua Prieta and was arrested. that he was cold and had to tie hot water bottles about his waist to keep himself warm; but that would have done him no good for the mescal in the bottles is warm ing only when taken internally.
 Juan was noticed as he came through the gate at the rear of the customs house, as he seemed more portly than usual, but he apparently had no fear of being suspected. as with hands in his pockets he swag- gered across the line. c. A. Olds, of the customs service, however. questioned the gain in avoirdupois, and compelling Guzman to stop, found the bottles suspended by strings from the shoulders and buttoned in neatly by Guzman's coat.

announced a campaign to carry the truth about prohibition to Cuba and Mexico in the hope of drying up the two oases in the prohibition desert. -
 Miss Anna Gordon, world and na- tional president of the w. c. T. L., will conduct the campaign, starting on a lecture tour into the two coun- tries next month. Her itinerary will cover Havana, Maanzas, Santiago, Isle of Pines, Nassau, New Providence in the Bahamas, and probably other larger cities.
 Miss Gordon, in announcing che campaign, said that one of her pur- poses would be to assist in strength ening the national w. c. T. U. organi- zation in Cuba and Mexico so that the local organizations would be of adequate assistance when the time comes for Cuba and Mexico to vote on prohibition"
 I am certain" she said, that when these people find out the truth about prohiibtion-how it has helped us eco- nomically as well as sCcially-there will be little difficulty in convincing them of the sanity of this great pro gresSive step"
 Mrs. Dwight Furness, the newly elected president of the national W. C. T. U. in Mexico, will return to her home in Mexico shortly. where she will assist Miss Gordon.
