SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

NEW YORK, March 3.-University
of Southern Californias track ath-
letes. including Charles Paddock.
spectacular sprint champion, will not
compete this year in the outdoor in
tercollegiate track and field cham
pionships This became known to-
night when it was announced the ex-
ecutive committee of the Intercol-
legiate A. A. A. A. had tabled for a
year the membership application of
the Pacific coast college.
The action was taken, officials said.
because OF lack Of informal tion con-
cerning scholastic and eligibility re-
Quirements of the California univer-
sity, but it was understood they felt
up to eastern Intercollegiate stand
ards. The Californians, it was said,
were asked to submit further in
formation on both subjects.
Technically the application of the
westernerS was tabled only until the
next meeting of the executive COM
mittee, but as this does not take
place until March. 1924, the matter
cannot be considered before another
year.
Recently the University Of South
ern California announced 1t planned
to invade the east for the intercol-
cluded several prominent stars in ad-
dition to Paddock.
The 1923 outdoor title meet was
awarded to the University OF Penn

a necessary evil" as he said some
college professors refer to them. but

denounced professore who have ex-
pressed the opinion that athletics arc
achieving too much success and glory.
Our athletics are developing a

GOOD ROADS NEEDED

One of the strongest factors in
bringing settlers to any State is the
knowledge that the State is a.n ex-
ponent of good .roads. Good roads
mean increased valuation in land,
easy access to farms from town to
city, more and better enighbors.
The Mississippi Development
Board is at the present time standing
as sponcor for a direct line to be
known as the Magnolia Route"
which will extend directly through
Chicago and the Great Lakes sec
tionl to the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
This. road within the next two weeks
will 4be completely logged Shortly
after will be completely marked.
This road will be the shortest ard
best of any road reaching from the
north to any seashore section. 1t
Will saean an immediate and consid-
erable influx of tourists to this
State and consequent increase N
business will be experienced by
every merchant along the proposed
route.
Immediate results will be seen as
the result of this tourist INVASION, IN
that in travelling through Mississippi
along the Magnolia Route, flfss
hand knowledge of the State, its ter
rain and possibilities will be obtained
