A SuItan's Watch.

In 1884 most elaborate watch was
made-Of twenty-five carat gold-for
Sultan Abdul-Medjld by firm at
Cornhill. This giant watch was five
inches in diameter. Though 1t had
no bell, It chimed the hours and quar-
ters, the striking apparatus consisting
of wires. It's powerful yet pleasant
tone resembled that Of cathedral
clock. The cost of this wonderful
thing was twelve hundred guineas.

U. of NJ. Hockey Capt.
Only Three-1etter
Man at College

OrOno, March 2.-Drcw Thompson
Stearns of Hebron, captain of
Names first varsity hockey team
and president of the Track Club. is
one OF the most versatile athletes in
the University. At the conclusion
of the hockey season, he will be the
only three letter man enrolled in the
institution, having already earned
letters in baseball and track. For
two or three years he held the inter-
scholastic pole vaulting record.
Stearns was awarded both OF his
letters last year and both will prob
ably be renewed this year. as he is
counted on by Coach Flack for pole
vaulting, and Wilkic Clark expects
to use him at either shortstop or
third base. In addition to MS ability
in track. baseball and hockey, he is
a capable performer on the hori
Zontal bar, and has given many DEM
onstrationS of his acrObatic skill at
campus entertainments.
With 10 goals to his credit. StearnS
is at present the high scoring man
on the hockey team and is an out
standing star in every game. AS he
is a junior he will probably be on the
ice again next year and will have
good deal to do with the develop
ment of good squad. AS none of
the other puck chasers will be lost
by graduation this year. it is con-
fidcnt1y predicted that Names 1924
team will make name for itself.
