OlA1 UNI Noi 1eti., May 12.-Captain Lane Falk, record breaker in both the high and low hurdles Bill Black, pole yaulter, and Blink Williamson, quarter-miler, will be the only Stanford University stars missing from Coach R. L. Fem pletons track and field squads next year, according to an eligibility .,st prepared by the graduate manager 5 office here. Using the remaining members of this years squad as a foundation, the Card mentor believes he will be able to build up one of the strongest aggregations of track men in the history of the uni ersity for the 1924 season.
 Several holders of the CallierLia- Stamford freshman records will be added from the freshmen squad next year, among them Hal Boles, who topped the high hurdles in 15:1. and Bill Kerr, 1922 interscholastic cham; Fpion of the mile run.
 "Discord" Athletics
 The "dis-cards," as the athletes who were disqualified on the count of scholarship requirements are called, will probably be Templeton's s greatest potential source of points Chief among these are Tiny Hart ranft, intercollegiate champion of the shot and discus, and Al Smith. middle distance runner. There is no doubt about the return of Smith next Christ mas, but Hartranfts return is un certain. Harlow, javeln thrower. will be another of the disqualified ath- letes who is to be counted on next year In addition to these three there are Thermund Clarke in the quarter and Paul Murphy in the two mile.
 The return of Eddie Sudden, win ner of both the 100 and 220 in the Stanford California meet of 1922, is still in doubt.
 In the hurdles next year there will be Leistner, who took four points in the two events at the recent Bear Card meet; Boles. who holds the freshman record, and Dole, who took first in the Bear-Card event half mile. fl4sx
 For Relay Men
 Nelson Van Judah will lead the Cardinal quarter-milers next year and will be supplemented by Daly, Sec field, Coverly and Chase. It is pos sible that Templeton will try t1 make relay men out of Al Smith, Bill Richardson, freshman half-miler and John Campbell, sprinter, but will probably wait to see if Thermund Clarke returns to college.
 No stronger team of half-milers has ever represented the Cardinal than will be entered next year, according to Coach Templeton Dole, Swayne and Mcintosh, who placed in the or der in the last Bear meet, all lbeai out Daly of Stamford. winner of ths event last year. All four will bt eligible for either one or two more years of competition.

HooTsAiNoo-ANo THE INDIANS

KAKE-(To the Editor): Of late several different writers, in as many publications, have taken it upon themselves to spread broadcast to the word the origin of "Hootchenoo.P GOT "Hotch-i-noo" l don't know why so much interest attaches itself to this brainstorm brand of liquor and manufacture thereof. unless 1t is be- cause the country is bone dry with live stills in operation all over the land and case stuff galore in every town.
 The latest I've read on the subject is an effusion from the pen of Dr. what he understands about it any more than the other chroniclers, albeit he follows closely in their rather uncertain trails.
 In the first place 'hootchenoo," or "hootch-i-noo," isn't an Indian word, nor combination of Indian words at all The first part of the word. hootch. is. very probably, a slang term of old vintage from the States. In fact cheap whiskies, ques- tionable brandies and other low grade connections went by the name excitement of the 40's in California. And this was a long time prior to the advent of American soldiers, and their many debasing practices, in and around Sitka, Killfsnoo and other h. dian settlements, camps and villages. It doesn't fit mite good to throw an onerous and objectionable load on the Hoots-e-tah-quan people, nor to record Hoots-noo-oo Island Admiralty Island) as the ground plot of bad red-eye.
 The Indian word for strong drink is now" If the word ''hootchenoo' Is used at all 1t is merely as pick up and slang addition to the native vocabulary. 1t is foreign word, or maybe combination of words. and the Indians use it much as the whites use words in ordinary English from on. It does not belong to the Thlinget tongue in any other way, On the Lower Yukon there are parts and parcels of stills of Russian handiwork that are, undoubtedly, more than 100 years old. and these same Russians were distilling vodka in Alaska some time before Seward was out of knickerbockers.
 Another thing: What honor-or dishonor-there may be in connection with the brewing and distilling of beverages more kickable than rain water can be allowed the Indians. themselves. In more or less crude way they manufactured stimulating drinks before. long before, pale. face ever showed himself, westward bound, this of the Great Rockies. It would be a good plan, think for these would-be historians to seek clearer information and dig deeper l into facts.
