Started in 1895.

nPENNSYLVANIA UNIVER-
SlTY held its first relay car
nival in 1895, with about
LOO athletes competing. This
years entry list was bigger than
the entire attendance back in
1895. Close to 5000 college and
school athletes were entered this
year.
DR.. George W. Orion, at present
manager and promoter of the
carnival, was a contestant in the
tlrst one, running on Pennsvl-
vania's one-mile relay team. Har.
YARD won that first championship,
by the way.
In 1895 there were twenty
events, handled by twentv-five
officials. Last year there were
elghty-five events. This wear thew

originated the relay carnival and
handled it until 1915 when he
moved his residence to France
leaving his onerous duties to Dr.
Orion. The latter has been a
complete success. "
In 1899 preparatory schools
were admitted. In 1901 the high
schools appeared. The grade
schools We're admitted for the first
time in 1908 and in 1909 the
parochlal schools saw their names
on the ever-growing program.
In 1915 the entry list was 80
great that two days were planned
for the carnival and now that has
been found too short. Next spring,
or by 1926 at the latest, a three
Gay program will be arranged in
order to run off the events.
The Penn Relays, as the car
nival is generally known, ranks
first among the country's track
meets.

"was back in 1899. l was running
then myself, so naturally 1 can
remember it pretty we'll. It was
a One-day meet then and drew.
/ should say, about a thousand
people.
"NOw look at it. DR.. Orion is
already thinking of making it
go through three days next
spring. Today there'll be around
$4,000 in attendance and tomor-
row there1l be around 10000 in
the seats watching the races,

We have so many Johnsons
in America that the postoffice
department is complaining they
can't handle their mail. There's
Hiram Johnson and Magnus
Johnson and Walter johnson,
and they don't include the peo-
pie of the same name who put
a ct" in the spelling.
So when a mere Romero
Rojas pays his own passage all
the way from South America
to try to erase the name of
Johnson from the social cal
endar, he wants to be sure and
bring plenty of seconds with
him.
For, like the doughboys in
France, for every Johnson you
knock down about eleven sub
stitutes step up to take his
place. With each hand all
done up in medicated tire tape.
Romero-Rojas will need as many
paws as a centipede.
For his first American in
struction in the manly art OF
self-preservation, Rojas isn't
picking on any kindergarten
pupil. Floyd Johnson is a post
graduate of the hard school of
knocks and should slap a couple
Of Romero's trick names off his
calling cards.

clubs where it is necessary to
take q little chip of sod after the
ball is hit. 1t steadies the flight,
As in all other shots / think of
the piece Of the imaginary line i'm

it. It Is necessary to hit the ball
Just under the center; you will
discover that this demands great
skill.
/ have tried cracking my shots
until I felt a jerk in both arm
sockets, and l discovered that this
helped me. Some of our good play
ers hold their club in the air just
before they take it back, this VIC
lates a little idea of mine, and that
il, that the clubhead must rest with
a certain solidity on the ground
IN order to allow a take-off on the
beginning of the up stroke. Make
It second nature to feel the correct
position of the clubhead.
With the left hand under on the
back half Of the swing, draw the
club back even with the hands along
the ground on the direction line for
a short distance. This motion be-
gins back Of the imaginary vertical
line. Then lift the clubhead with a
backward, outward, upward slightly
curving swing until the left arm is
almost straight and you can feel
the clubhead pull the left arm
socket at the back.

third, hands and cIubhead describ-
ing smoothly the areas of an in

the circles become ellipses. Hit

the ball up into the air. I let my
wrists dip the blade toward the
right shoulder on end of back

There is an inclination in this
shot to let the left shoulder come
around too much, and I advise that
1t be held back a little bit. I dip
my club almost to touching my
shoulder at the end of the back
stroke. The shoulder should not
be touched. Do not hurry the shot.

WALTON'S APPEAL UP
Case to Be Called Despite Petition for
Continuance.

haohhStVh. ~. ~ EhPih ii.-oHt
of the bitterest fights in the history
of American jurisprudence was
brought into the Supreme Court today
when it reached for argument the ap-
peal of former Governor John c. Wal
ton of Oklahoma, to set aside his i'm
parchment by the Oklahoma Legisla-
ture. The Federal District Court for
Western Oklahoma had refused to re-
view the impeachment proceedings.
Today. the proceedings of the SUI
preme Court were enlivened by an ef-
fort by counsel for the former COVER
nor to have consideration of the APP
peal postponed. Counsel for the Okla
homa House of Representatives and
other defendants opposed the move.
The appeal of the former governor
was based upon the ground that he
had not been given a fair and impair
tial trial in the impeachment pro-
ceedings. He alleged that the Ku Klux
Nlan and other influences predomin-
ated the Oklahoma House in his i'm.
parchment and the Senate of that
state in his trial.
Lower federal courts refused to take
jurisdiction in the matter on, the
grounds that the questions involved
were political and not judicial.
A. II. Server, Washington attor-
ney, asked that the argument be post.
poned. explaining that he was acting
on behalf of counsel for the former
governor. Attorney General George F.
Short of Oklahoma, opposed continu-
ance. and although counsel for Wal
ton is not present, the court ordered
that the case be called this after
noon.
Attorney General Short said the
case had been advanced on motion of
the former governor. who now asked
to have it continued on the ground
that the court had not acted upon the
motion TO advance for more than a
month after the motion had been filed
