nervous I'm pretty grabbed, they tell
me-
The beginning of this story is simple
enough, but I despair of ever getting
the outline Of my idea over to the
nervous reader in single issue, and
my experience in trying to carry such
story over for another day has been
discouraging. In fact seem to run up
against powerful lot of discourage
ment OF one kind of another in my
teaching. Even this particular story,
this little lesson in right living, will un-
doubleday be criticized as containing too
many words and not enough practical
advice, yet If were to set in print the
bare outline Of this story ! know it
would never make any lasting impress
sion on the very folk want to impress.
I've got to get their attention. a bit of
interest and II possible a little bit of
sympathy before I can drive home the
lesson.
Will you believe, you nervous ones,
that 1t grieves me when a poor nervous
wreck writes to say that maybe some
day I'll have nervous breakdown and
then I'll know what such suffering
means. Not chance, not a chance, so
long as my mind remains intact. yet It
grieves me to find that the reader has
received such an impression.

UP IN STUDIES

Two athletes of Georgetown Uni
versity- were presented with testi-
noniais for excellence IN studies,
according to Rev. r. Rust. Rankin,
S. j., dean of studies. They were
Joe. Gardner and Eric Kjellstrom.
Gardner, 1928 SUB quarterback,
had a grand average of 96.3 for his
academic work. Kjellstrom. who
represented Sweden in the Olympic
games last year, averaged 96.1. He
at the Penn Relays.
William EIIig, captain Of the
1927 tennis team, graduated
with the highest honor at the
Georgetown Law School this
year.
william Cooney, a member OF the
football squad, was No. 2 of the law
graduating class. He has since
passed the Connecticut State bar
exams.
The dean of studies. Rev. r. Rush
Rankin S. J.. and Director of Ath-
letics Lou Little are very much
pleased with the classroom work of
the athletes as whole. The scho-
lastic results Of each man are
watched very closely each week. The
general average of the athletes, as
a whole. ranks on par with the
nonathlete. and in many cases much
better. Figures last year proved
this.

Yankee teammates seem resigned
to finishing some dozen games back
OF the Athletics, Ruth Is busily
engaged in getting somewhere.
And that somewhere is what he
