gage1 in 50 contests, winning "a and
losing 80. Only one event resulted in
a tie, a soccer game with Cornell.
The percentage of victories in total
contests, .643, is a decided jump up
ward from the record made in the pre-

were turned in for about the same
number of defeats.

The boxing team also won an inter-

INDIA
AND ITS PEOPLES
By Copt. |. r. CloUd Robinson
A BRIEF SURVEY OF
INDIAN HISTORY

IF WE try to form mental picture
of Indian history, we see con
fused procession of Kingdoms taking
shape and disS0lving again. Here and
there great figures stand out-the
founders of mighty dynasties or the
we are dazzed by the magniticence OF
some unusually brilliant reign; in the
next, we are left contemplating the
ruins of all this greatness subsiding
amidst anarchy and confusion.
In the Fourth century, b. G., Chan
dragupta holds our attention as he
wrests an empire from the generals
Of Alexander. A century later we
find AS0ka is equally compelling for
his patronage of Buddhism. which re.
suited in its becoming one OF the
greatest religions in the world. In the
Second, Fourth and Seventh centuries,
we catch passing glimpses of great
sovereigns in Kanshka, Samudragupia
and Harsha; and in the Eighth cen.
fury we witness the rise of the cele-
brated warrior clans of the Raiputs.
During the Raiput dominion Buddhism
WAS attacked and vanquiShed by Hin
duSm.
Hardly have we realized the mean
ing and greatness of the Rajput sway

through the defiles OF the northwest
frontier, conquering, Staying and pro-

the respondent epoch of the Mugul
dynasty Towards the close OF the
MoguI period, we see the close OF the
Marathas of the Deccan, and once
more we witness that familiar sight in
indian history of great empire crum
bling and finally disappearing from
the land.
While there is romance in plenty TO
color these heeting pictures of the
mind. our Impressions based on hard
fact, will show us that il is wal that
casts its sinister shadow over the
whole; the result of fierce ambition
and clash of rival creedS. Nor does

Simple Plan to Kill
Pests of Squash Vine

If a squash vine willis within a few
hours. a vine borer has reamed out
the stem neal the ground This Dor
er always works near the roots. The
hest way To control il is To cover abuut
every second joint of each stem as il
grows So roots will form at the joints.
The vine will live even though the
borers do get at the main stem ear
the first root. This covering should
be done now so the vine will have
many roots little alter in the season
when the borers are the worst.
Ordinary squash bugs are hard TO
kill with poison dusts or sprays. They
will crawl under single at night.
however. and two or three shingles
placed near the center of the vine
will act as traps for Them. The bugs
can he crushed in the early morning
before they begin TO move Their shiny
brown. clustered eggs on the Under
side of the leaves should be crushed
also.

"Old College Try" Not
Pleasing to Ivan Olson

Ivan Olson, former shortstOp and
present coach of the Brooklyn Robins,
is one ball player who doesn't think
much of 'the old college try" al
though those Dodgers certainly could
not be called anything but a hustlihg
ball club these days.
When Ivy, a slender, wiry Swede
with a leathery, fighting face, was in
there playing the fans used to yell at
him, Take off your corsets, Ivy"
whenever he would dash toward a
difficult chance and then pull up as
soon as he saw that he had no chance
to make the play.
Olson would laugh it off.
"A sharp ground ball hit over sec
ond or to the shortstop's right is a
single" he says. But when he does
not try to make an impossible play
and leaves it for the outfeder to
handle, the fans usually yell at him
as though he had set fire to an or
phanage.
There is another way of making
the play. The shortstop might run at
top speed and throw himself frantical-
ly at the ball. Then if the grounder
bOunces off his head and rolls between
the outfielders and a couple of runs
score, the fans will lean back and APP
plaud vigorously, What a wonderful
play they'll say, He almost got it y"
Ivy, like most of the other real
players of the game, was never a
grandstander like that, and that is
why he abhOrs the old college try,
which is held in such high repute in
some circles.
