College Songs.
TIMES STAFF IpI,HIIio,To

Forty three students of Colgate
University gave concert last
night in the First Congregational
Church, Tenth and G streets north
west. that long will be remembered
by the crowd of music lovers that
packed the large auditorium.
The students are members of two
musical clubs the Glee Club and the
Instrumental Club. Prof. w. Hoer'
ner, director of music at Colgate
University. was in charge of the
clubs. Alos Leeds is director of the
Instrumental Club, and j. G. Free
man is. leader of the Glee Club.
There is a concerted effort among
the students at Colgate-and, in
deed. most large Universities of this
country and Great Britain-to ele
vate TO a high standard OF excel
lence that class of music generally
known as campus melodies"
Too frequently during the last
decade college song composers have
been sacrificing art in order tc
turn out melodies that would
make instantaneous hits
Perhaps the biggest hit" of last
nights performance was the work
of Ralph Horton, basso. Horton s
voice is full and mellow, and his
rendition of "Duna" resulted in his
being recalled three times. For en-
core he gave Arthur Penn :
'Smilin' Through" J. c. Freestone
gave several baritone solos which
were well received.
The Colgate Quartet, consisting
OF Messrs. Agcr. Reese. Benjamin
and Horton, sang several typical
college songs.
Tonight at Central High School
the Colgate clubs will give another
concert.

VAIL OF TRAIN WHISTLE
SCARES COYOTE TO DEATH

Fairfield, Dec. 24.-Engineer Bill
Voss, who pilots a mixed train through
Fairfield, can't boast of the late de-
sign of his engine but declares it has
"a powerful coed whistle"
So demoniac is the wall of that in
strument that Bill usually finds only
a blast or two sufficient to terrorize
anything trespassing on the right of
way. The other morning, when a
coyote broke cover alongside the track
near DraOut, Bill was inspired to try
the effect of his siren.
Said effect surpassed all expecta-
tions. frightened out of its wits, the
coyote sought safety in flight. So
needless was its course that it ran
headlong into a fence post and was
knocked unconscious. Overjoyed at
his success, Bill stopped his engine,
seized a pick from the tender, and
dispatched his quarry.
