learned about their rights and the rights of others and
who plunge ahead without consideration Soon they learn and

obey these rules not endangering others.
Rules of golf weldefned and nearly always

More and more the inpres-
sion grows that we may be all
wrong in our notion that the
United States is a world unto
itself and can get along splen-
didly without contacts with
other nations. Isolation" may
mean the supreme triumph of
grandeur, or it may mean the
tragedy of loneliness.
Possibly we have overplayed
our boast. We acted upon it
when we built a Chinese tariff
wall to shut out foreign trade,
and the result is a loss Of ap-
palling proportions in our ex-
port trade. We have fixed it so
we can not buy from Canada,
and Canada has retaliated SO
We can not trade with her.

M N. Tisdall led Cambridge to an
overwhelming triumph over oxford In
the sixty-third annual track and field
meeting of the two famous universities.
Tisdall entered in four events and
won them all-the shot-put, running

quarter understanding himself an
outstanding, all-around track and field
man. His teammates added four other
first places in the IL events leaving only
three for the Dark Blues. Only first
places counted.
Today's sixty-third renewal of an
ancient rivilary was competed in almost
freezing weather, which made for slow
time in running events and seemed to
seriously hamper the three American
members of the oxford crew, none of
whom won his event.

Not only was Nays great record

Orange victory was emphatic. Every
Orangeman who won established him

big advantage over Orange losers.
Joe Moran, Orange foot ball star,
piled up his thirteenth straight knock
out since matriculating at Syracuse.
He was opposed by Bert Davis, Nays
knockout king. He led from the start,
and had his opponent groggy three
times in the opening round. Twice
Davis was on the verge of going under
in the second when the bell saved him.
In the third Moran slipped the knock
out punch across, and while Davis was
helpless on the floor his manager tossed
a towel In to give Syracuse the match.

pions in very business-like fashion.
It was the first Of a three-game

major league championship clubs.
Several of the main cogs Of both ma
chimes, notably Frankie Frisch and Al
Simmons, were missing, but most of the
familiar figures were there to enter
tain and perform for the benefit Of an
enthusiastic gathering Of 1900 fans at
Miami Field.
The Red Birds won by jumping all
over the right offerings of Leroy
Mahaffey in the seventh and eighth
innings with a batting spree such as
they would have enjoyed more had 1t
taken place last OcUODeT.
The Athletics lost because they
didn't show anything like their punch
Of last season, except for one robust
poke by Jimmy Fox over the right
field fence for home run. The world
champions collected only four safe
blows altogether of the slants of Flint
Rhem, AL Grabowski and Sylvester
Johnson, each of whom did a three
inning chore.
Foxx's homer was matched for the
Cardinals by Charley Colbert, another
boy hero of the 1880 series, who pleased
the customers by galloping all the way
around the bases on drive to the left
field fence in the fourth inning
The score was tied at % when the
Red Birds went to work on Mahaffey in
the seventh, after having been held to
