BIGGER Than EVER
Illinois Relay Carnival May Set
New Record.
Entries in Games Pour in
We're 392 in 1921.

Urbana. ILL.,, Feb. 6.-Entries are
beginning to pour in to the Illinois Re-
lay carnival office here in large num-
bers, and with the event month
signified their intention OF coming to
the Illinois track classic March 4. II
is expected that there will be at Least
fifty teams l-ere this year.
The cinder track in the armory,
where the meet will be held, has been
resurfaced and put into excellent
shape. The armory has an area of
10, 900 square feet of floor space, I'M
INSTRUCTED by pillars or supports. and
the cinder track is ten feet wide ami
6 "a laps to a mile. Inside the cindcr
path is a clay straightaWay for the To-
yard sprints and hurdles. The condi :
lions for jumping, vaulting and throw
ing the shot are equally as good as any
outdoor field. 1t is the largest struc-
ture of its kind in the world and with
the seats up and ready for the meet,
it will hold 5000 spectators.
The initial Illini classic was held
here in March 1917 and attracted 175
athletes from 10 universities. The
war held the number of entries down
in 1918 and only 16 schools competed.
In 1919 it was omitted, but was re-
vived again in 1920 with 5 univer-
stiles, seven colleges and two high
schools in it.
Last year all records were broken,
with the competing of 1872 athletes
from forty-tWo schools. 1t became an
intersectional affair with representa-
tives from every section in the coun-
try except the south. Georgetown
university, University of Pennsylvania.

teams from every part came to COM
pete in this first indoor relay contest.
This year it is assured that southern
schools will be represented, Rice In
stitute having already entered.

curing the pennant.

PLAN A B. B. MEET
March ~ and IS Dates Set for
III. S. Tournament.
VIII Probably Be Held in X. U.
Gymnasium.

The annual state high school bas
ketban tournament will be hell
March II and Is under the auspices
Of the Kansas High School Athlete
association. The city in which it will
be held has not been decided on by the
officials of the association but 1t will
probably be held in the Kansas univer-
sity gymnasium at Lawrence. There
are several reasons for it being held
there. Many state tournaments as we'll
s invitation tournaments have been
held at the *. L. gym and it IS looked
upon az the logical place. The inyi-
tatton tournaments were held under
the auspices of the university and rep
resentative teams were asked to par
ticipate.
For reason of convenience the state
and invitation tournaments were BON
held at the university on the same
daies during 1920 and 1921. This was
good advertising for the school and it
attracted many athletes. The holding
OF the two tournaments at the same
Hme proved Z unsatisfactory to the oftl-
Gals of the high school association.
Last year the state tournament Was
held at Lawrence and proved success
full. The University court is of ample
size and two games can be played at
the same time.
Old Method Abolished.
In 1921 the old method of selecting
teams to ntel the state tournament
was abolished Under that method
one preliminary tournament was held
in each congressional district and only
the most successful teams were de-
clared eligible to participate ii
the official state tournament. I'm
der the new plan official pre-
liminary tournaments may be held
in any city providing the off
Gals of the association sanction u.
There was - large increase in the num-
Der of preliminary tournaments in
1921.
Date for Preliminary Tournaments.
The date of the preliminary tourna-
ments this year is March 10 and Ii.

WHAT THE LEGION is DOING
Reno (Nev.) Editor, on Bike Ride
Through Country, Spreads News
of the Posts.

Travelling 125 miles day, and
camping at night by the roadside, Don
aid F. Chase, twenty-one years old, re-
Gently passed through Middle Western
cities ON bicycle from Reno, New, to
Syracuse, N. Y
Young Chases family lives at Syra-
cuse and, as a vacation from his duties
as city editor of the Nevada State
Journal, the energetic lad decided he
would ride through and see his mother.
The Reno American Legion saw
chance to do some worthwhile adver-
tising. So arrangements were made
whereby Chase should speak before ITO
Legion posts on his way across the
continent. At first he spoke only of
what the Reno posts of the Legion and
the Nevada state department are do
ing, but later he found that he could
be of greater service by telling each
post of all the good things that other
posts along his route are doing.
The young gatling gun which he
carried with him saw service when an
automobile driver ran into his bicycle
near Topeka, Kan, and then refused
to stop to see what damage had been
done. Chase put bullet in a tire and
then made the driver haul him and his
bike to town.
"One doesn't realize just what the
American Legion is doing until he Wis
it's Legion posts and sees the efforts
Of these posts to improve their COM
munities." he said

The Auxiliary, in its present make
up, is composed of mothers, wives,
daughters and sisters of the members
of the American Legion, and of the
women of the same status who lost
men in the World war. There is no
junior society to the Auxiliary or to
the Legion, such as there is to other
patriotic societies-for instance, the
Sons of the Revolution-but when a
generation has passed undoubtedly
such society will come into existence.
1t is to prepare the way for an heredi-
tary society, composed of the daugh-
ters and granddaughters of World war
veterans, that Mrs Burt is working.
Her plan will include Incorporation
into the Auxiliary records of the war
records of the Legion men, SO that
future genealogists will have no

CHANGED HER MIND SUDDENLY
Small Runaway Probably Had Good
Reasons for Withdrawing OBJ
Ieetions to Going Home.

Geneva, age three, had run away to
visit her aunt, who lived across the
street. The aunt yisualizing accidents,
in which figured little children and au-
tomobiles, lectured the little girl.
Then the aunt announced her inten-
tion of taking the runaway home at
once as a punishment. ALI entreaties
were in vain, the little guest was going
to stay, and finally her aunt picked
her up, her burden strenuously OBJ
jecting, and started to the door. There
the little girl saw her father just leav-
ing his home on the trail of the fu-
gitive.
