Colby and Bates
to Meet at Penn.
Relay Carnival

The final trials for the Colby relay
team that will compete at the Penn
slyvania Relay Carnival Friday and
Saturday were held Monday after
noon on Seavern's field The men
have been training for these trials
for several weeks and Mike Ryan,
the track coach has worked them to
the limit during the last two weeks
i'll order to get every man up to the
highest efficiency possible. The first
trials were run on the afternoon of
the spring handicap meet, a week
ago today. In this race Hearon led
by a narrow margin all the way and
crossed the tape inches ahead of
Foran. Running few inches behind
Foran, Briar came in for third place
while Mercer was chalked up for
fourth place. The men ran in a
bunch all the way and none of them
changed places during the race but
came in in the same order they as
sumed after they had started
In the race yesterday the same
men took the first four places but the
order was slightly reversed. Hearon
again led the race and came in for
first a couple feet ahead of Brier
who nosed Foran out of second place
and beat Foran by about the same
distance. Mercer came in for fourth
missing third by narrow margin.
Perkins who placed fifth was uanble
to pass him. Eustis who placed
sixth ran second over half the dis
lance but was unable to keep the
Harvey was the last man in and
crossed the tape about ~ yards be-
hind the winner.
Work will go on until Wednesday
night and Mike will choose a team
from these men running today prob
ably on Wednesday or Thursday.
The colleges that Colby will have to
run against in the Penn. games have
been drawn as follows: Boston Uni
versity. Rochester University, Hamil-
ton college. Hobart college. Bates
college and Havcrford college. In
the drawing for positions Colby won
sixth or the next to the outside. Last
year in April a Colby relay team
composed of the following men:
Foran. Brier, Mercer and McGary
went down to the Penn relay carnival
and won first place. The colleges
that they competed against included
the following: Catholic University,
Washington and Jefferson college,
Muhlenburg college. Gettysburg COL
lege and Manhattan college. They
won the race easily and brought back
to Colby a big red and blue silk
banner with the names of the com
peting colleges inscribed upon it in
gold. This hangs at present in the
Colby library.
Joe McGary is a Junior at Colby
and he expected to be able to COM
pete for a position on the team up
until less than two weeks ago when
he developed infection in his foot
and had to undergo an operation
that may incapacitate him for the
rest of the season. McGary tried to
get a track shoe on Monday in a last
desperate effort to get into the final
trials but his foot was not sufficient
ly healed. McGary was the only vet
eran of last years team that was un-
able to compete yesterday and Hear
on who was not a veteran won the
race. so prospects do not look too
bad for a winning team this year.
No time was given out in the race

The Bay Island Flood Fight.

II Bay Island district escapes flood disas-
tar this spring, as it probably will, 1t will be
due to the volunteer efforts of the residents of
Mercer county, hundreds of whom have been
working day and night Strengthening the
levees to fortify them against the rising waters
II the Mississippi river. Two years ago the
water drove its way through and over the
lsvees in the Bay Island district, causing tre-
uaendous losses, mostly in crops.
This spring, when the weather bureau
sounded warning that the river was swelling
and that it would reach a stage that would be
menscing to the lowlands, the people OF Mer-
Ger county got busy among themselves. First
those in the immediate vicinity of the levees
began giving attention to the weak spots, and
as the news of the danger spread over the
county farmers and residents of Aledo and 9TH
or towns Joined the army of fighters, affording
q rare example of community cooperation and
service. The levees have been holding to date,
and inasmuch the crest of the flood is be-
heved to have passed that section, the Bay
Island district land seems assured of escape
from damage this year, and the soil will be left
IN shape for its usual crops.

The tenure Of the state craftsmanship Is

elections next fall, and in the event OF his re-
election to the place he viii direct affairs dur
ing the campaigns for governor and president

Rosendeld has taken an active interest in poll

OF a fight, qualities that have won him alike
the respect Of leaders in both the major parties
With Mr.. Rosenfield head of the state
central committee the Republicans OF Illinois
may take a hopeful view of the outlook for
their party in public affairs, for the Rock Is
lander may be depended upon to introduce men
and policies that the voter can unreservedly
accept and support. Rosenfield plays politics
in the open and in way that awakens faith
In the electors. That's why the Republican
leaders have picked him for the state chair
