He has also consented to render a few vocal solos as he has a very fine tenor voice. The Cincinnatus Club orchestra has donated its services and will play individually as we'll as collec. ttively a carefully selected program calculated to pease the most fas. l tidious ear.
 Reservations are now being made and anyone interested in ice hockey and wishing to attend should motif, the chairman, phone 345, at the earliest possible moment. Friends of club members arc most heartily welcome.

New Britain not only came through the preliminary games in the State Industrial Basketball championship tournament in Water bury Saturday night but it also chalked up a victory in the pre- liminary bowling matches staged at Hartford. While the Corbin Screw team was defeating the Elmweod Endees, Hartford's representatives in basketball, in the Brass City, the Landers bowling combination was adding insult to injury by topping the Wise Smith Co. team, also of Hartford, on the lanes.
 New Britain's margin was only final scoring. The Hardware City team has a sizeable lead after the second game of the night, but . sudden and decided spurt by the Wise Smithers in the last battles of the night all but upset the victor ious stride of the Jniversals. New Britain's total was 1,e47 to 1882 for Hartford.
 Brunelle of Hartford hit high single for the night with a mark of 134. Gacek of New Britain piled up the best score for three strings with a total of 3s2 while KIoss, his team mate was second with 351. Both of these totals counted heavily in the final accounting.
 New Haven defeated Meriden in another match staged during the night while two other winners were semi-finals and finals will be rolled next Saturday night, probably !n New Haven.

Although Arburr started to guard Balfour and Darrow was after ]. Barton, Darrow found he was too short to take care of the rangy blond so they switched and the change worked effectively. For the last three quarters of the game each Hartford forward made a field goal, In the middle of the game when the Corbin Screw team needed the punch to get ahead, Andy Yakubo- wicz furnished it. Luty and Baker. fine pair Of floor-working players, did their bit again. Neither of the two men who played against Baker made a field goal.

Practically all collegiate murders who turned in important times last year will be ready for action again when the outdoor season gets under way In a year that saw the worlds record of IA approached many times in the high hurdles and the low hurdle target of o3 fiat bet tered by two-tenths of a second, the past season brought to the top far barrier events than any other single track campaign.
 Returning in the high hurdles for the 19S0 offensive will be Dick Rock away of Ohio State national collegi- ate champion, who proved his su- periority last season by taking this crown as well as gaining undisputed possession of a new world mark of a2S seconds in the low hurdles. With Rockaway will be three other threats from the Western Confer ence, Sentmen and Rodgers of Ill- nois, both of whom placed in the major championships last year, and George Sailing of Iowa, who was un- der 15 flat on more than one occa- sion.
 Husky Star in School
 Stephen Anderson of Washington will also be back in top form. While Anderson's event is the low hurdles, he is still one of the toughest men in the game to beat over the 12O yard route. G. H. Stollwerck of Col gate, who placed in both hurdles at the l. c. A. A. A. A. meet, will be one of the principal contcnders from the east coast.
 In spite of Rockaway's world mark in the low hurdles in the West ern Conference championships An dcrson managed to beat him out in the national collegiate struggle in the fast time of 23.5 seconds. Major competitions that bring this pair to- gether are certain to result in bril- liant battles. Seminar of Illinois doubles" in the lows with the same success he enjoys over the high bar riers, while Cave, another Indian, is reported to be conner in this event.
 Yale Has I. C. IA Champ
 Sidney Keiselhorst of Yale. I, c. A. A. A. A. champion, will be the outstanding figure among eastern murders, while Harold Haydon of Chicago has chance to star in the middle west. Haydon was indoor champion of the Big Ten last year but failed to hit his stride over the outdoor route.
 Erneht Payne of Southern Cali fornia, who was up among the lead CTS throughout the entire season, will be on hand this spring, but Kane of Ohio Wesleyan has gradu- ated from collegiate competition.
 While it is unlikely that Rock away's remarkable time of o2.S sec onds in the low hurdles will be beaten this year. the many high class individuals in the field are certain to impcril the high hurdle record that Earl Thompson of Dartmouth set in 1920.

rivers to wash the salts from the
lands into the oceans. Biologists
likewise calculated the time it took
for rivers to deposit their deltas,
for the Niagara to gouge out its
gorge and for the geological strata
to be laid down. But all such
methods were defective. Like hour

one-third of an ounce would be

Use of Ducking Stool
Common in Old Times

The ducking stool was never in

was used it was reserved for one

to the reason.
There is a record of woman
who was unfortunately drowned
while being ducked The ordinary
practice in ducking was to sub

minute. She was then hronght TO
the surface for air and asked if
she repented; if she began again
where she was when she WAS in

pond again, and this process was
kept up until she promised to be
good.
Frequently it was surprising how
much water was necessary to
quench the fire of feminine tenn

had been ducked several times and

inspired the duckers to investigate,
whereupon she was found to be
dead. This was considered to be
unfortunate but her own fault
