Australian, Metcalfe, who bettered the

include Roland Romero, Dudley Will

pect our high jumpers to monopoli0e

this Winter. Johnson, the national
champion and choice of coaches to
win the OlympicS, was outjumped by

Burke, in record duel at Madison
Square Garden, both clearing feet

CHICAGO STUDENT
EIIinWood Apt to Get His
Degree in Less Then
Four Years.
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

HICAGO. March 23.-Ray
Ellinwood, University OF
I Chicago's resord breaking
~ runner, is smart just like a
college" Ned Merriam, the Maroon
coach, is somewhat fearful EllinWood
may up and complete his college work
in less than four years, which is pos
sible for prodigies under the system
Robert Maynard Hutchins has in
stalled at Chicago.
Ellinwood goes in for deep stuff.
Only last week he contributed a
column to the Daily Maroon on "Su-
perficiality in Criticism" The article
gave amusing definitions of eight
philosophical points of view of crit
icism, including pragmatism. positiv-
ism, empiricism and sentimentalism
Professors Face Is Red.
A SHORT time ago, Ellinwood was
consulting with his faculty adviser.
The professor noting the young man
was carrying very heavy schedule of
studies and making remarkable grades,
recommended he engage in some form
of physical exercise.
That's all right" replied Ellnwood.
L get plenty of exercise monkeying
around on the track team" (The
professor happens to be the faculty
tennis champion at Chicago and his
face was Slightly red when he saw
EllinwoOd break the world indoor rec
ord for the 440-yard daSh.)
Elhnwoods first collegiate love was
old Purdue. During his first semester
at the Indiana University, he received
tive AS and two BIS for his class room
efforts. Early in the second semester,
he came across Syllabi OF the Univer-
sity of Chicago and the new Hutchins
theories of education and transferred
to the Midway. Which caused Noble
kizer and the Purdues no end of regret.
Ellinwood will go in for medicine
when he has completed his under
graduate studies.

ADJOURN AT CHESS
Stars Will Continue District
League Match Wednesday.
Knapp, Eaton Win.
BY PAUL J. MILLER, Jr.


GUSHING forward nonchalantly a
pawn to kings fourth square ir
the eighth round of tournament play
OF the District Chess League, Donald
H. Mugridge, premier player of the
Capital City Chess Club, offered his
formidable adversary, Vladimir Sour.
MIN, who comes from Russia, where
chess is an obligatory subject in all
schools, an opportunity for a wide
open game that the master politely
ignored.
After SO moves neither had scored a
victory and the match was adjourned
by mutual consent, to be resumed
Wednesday night at the Hotel Gordon
On its outcome hinges the 1886 league
title, as each player has a score of {
points In the contest. The odds favor
Mugr1dge, for after SO moves he has
knight against a bishop and is a
pawn ahead, though Sournin has a
slightly better placement of his pieces
Other adjournments over the week
end were the games for minor honors
between Carl Hesse and Simon Naidel
and Max Kessler and Martin c. Stark
1885 league champ.
In the eighth round Ernest Knapp
marshaled his forces to win against
Konrad Willnich, and Vincent l.
Eaton. noted problem composer, gar
nered a well-earned victory from
taciturn r. N. Ramme.
Two weeks elapsed between round Z
and round in the tournament, due
to the election of officers for 1885 by
the Capital City Chess Club. C. w,
Stark, who served as club president
for many years, was reelected. Other
officers for the year are: H. S. Gay,
vice president; T. J. Buford, secre-
tary-treasurer; D. H. Mugridge, chess
director; H. S. Klein, bridge director
C. L. Smell and w. L. Eaton, members
of the Executive Board.

Threadgill will capture the three
places available on the Olympic team
Ohio States Jesse Owens and Eulace
Peacock. his colored rival at Temple
University, are rated one-two for the
broad jump, without argument. Owens
cleared 26 feet five times last season
in competition, setting new world
mark Of 26 feet 81 inches in the
Big Ten championships. Peacock s
best leap, 26 feet inches, beat Owens
for the National A. A. U. title at

world record. Their choice for the
Olympic team is Al Olson, Southern
California, who has several times come
within hands breadth of the 26-foot
mark.

Team May Need Brown.

"A COMEBACK by Yale's famous
Keith Brown may be essential to
keep the pole -vaulting honors safe for
America, but Southern California is
well equipped to fill any gaps. Dean
Cromwell, the Trojan coach, who
developed Bill Graber into a world
record holder, has turned out two
consistent 14-foet vaulters in Earl
Meadows and Bill Seton. The latter
bettered IA feet 3 inches in Europe
last Summer.
Brown has been working out lately
at the University of Chicago, in COM
pany with Jay Berwanger, the Maroon
all-around star. With scant practice
he did 13 feet inches. The former
Eli captain should qualify for the
Olympic team, whether he regains the
form that carried him to a world rec
ord height of IA feet SIS inches last
Spring.
Graber also may stage a comeback.
Jack Rand of San Diego State and
Jack Mauger of California are two
collegiate prospects on the upgrade.
William Roy of Loyola New Orleans)
who did IA feet inch last year, also
must be rated contender.

~ VIEW YORK, March 23-With
world record-smashers to rely
VI upon in three events featuring
4 agility, it will be a shock to
your Uncle SamuePs best coaching
minds If we do not sweep the high
jump, the broad jump and the pole
vault this year in the Berlin Olympics.
Thanks mainly to the startling
prowess developed by American COL
ored athletes in the two Jumps, this
country is better equipped to meet all
challengerS than ever before. The hop,
skip and jump is another story.
1t should be noted at the outset that
Japan will furnish the main opposi-
ton for the United States. This is
neither a surprise nor a coincidence.
The Nipponese, naturally agile or
acrobatic, have developed amazingly
effective technique.
Latest information from Toxic in
dicateS there are at least two high
jumpers capable of doing 6 feet 7
inches; two 14-foot vaulters, includ-
ing Nishida, the 1882 Olympic runner
Up, and brace of broad jumpers
