That world series scandal has

the careers of Duncan and Bohne,

Baseball is honest and baseball

LEXINGTON, Va, March "a. -
With scarcely more than a full

Washington and Lee frosh track
squad has made rapid progress and
Coach Fletcher is optimistic over
the prospects Of a winning team.
In spite Of the call of so many
other sports this season Of the
year, the first-year men have re-
sponded we'll to the track call and
several likely prospects are aspiring
for positions in both the running
and the field events.

result that more experienced

Manager Harmon is now at work
on the yearling schedule and, while
several dates are yet to be filled, a
number Of meets have already been
definitely closed. Included are April

Municipal golf in New York city

The report of the Department of

the year and the revenue from per.

the city, in round figures, $156, 900.

Talking on the general athletic

lntramurall Sports Are
Growing Popular
Atulinois

URBANA, ILL.,, March 24.-Do
college athletes benefit only q
few fortunate students already
equipped with robust physical
powers? There are those who
make such claims; who insist
that the comparatively few stu
dents who play on the varsity
teams are the only ones who
participate in sports.
This is not so at the Univer-
sity of Illinois. Here the var
sity sports are just the pin
nacle of a far-reaching system.
During the school year of
1929 more than 1000 stu
dents took part in varsity, fresh
man, and intramural sports.
Not that many individuals &C
tually participated, for some
engaged in more than one
sport. But a large percentage
