INTER-CLASS MEET SATURDAY
FINAL OF FALL EVENTS IN GYMNASIUM.
An inter-class track meet is to be held in the gymnasium next Saturday afternoon. This is the last of a series of seven interclass and inter-school meets which have been held at the University this fall and will probably be the most closely contested of all.
Meet Promises to Be Exciting- Each Class Has a Large Number of Good Athletes.
Probably 125 men representing the four classes of the University, will compete for honors Saturday. This will include most of this year's 'varsity material, as well as a great many other men who have become interested in track work this fall.
For the freshmen, Patterson, MeMillan, Hisle, Campion, Schwab, the Woodbury boys, and several others will be hard to beat in their respective events. The sophomores will enter Watson, French, Ammons, LeMoine, Kraus and other dependable men. A few of the third-year contestants are: Clark, Hamilton, Haddock, Smith, Grignard and Johnson; who, with 25 or 30 fellow classmates will put in a strong bid for first place. The nucleus of the strong senior team is formed by Badger, Leslie, Appollo, Martindell, and Cooley.
This series of meets is an innovation in track work at the University, and is the idea of Track Coach W. O. Hamilton. "It's the best way in the world to get acquainted with the men and find out what they can do. Then, too, they offer opportunities for new men, who never did any track work, to try themselves out. Am I putting the track men at work too early in the year? Don't you believe it. Missouri has 125 men on her 'varsity squad right now, and we are going to have to hump along some to beat them,'" said Coach Hamilton today.
Dean Kaye of Topeka delivered the address at the vespers services Sunday afternoon on the text "Behold, we go up to Jerusalem." He said that that every true man has a goal which is his Jerusalem. To reach it involves struggle and probably a cross. Dean Kaye mentioned three steps which each one would make of the effort was successful. First, a person must get out of self because a life may be seriously contaminated by selfishness. Next one should get close to Christ and be like him. These two steps would lead into heaven, not primarily a place but the quality of life.

WON'T LET THEM IN.
Doors to Chemistry Rooms Are Locked to Catch Late Ones.
The stringent rule of the chemistry department with regard to locking the doors of rooms in which Chemistry II is held at the instant the hour begins, and keeping it locked until the roll of the class is taken, worked a hordship on many of the chemistry students yesterday morning. The slippery, stormy weather made the hill hard to climb, and several students got in the hall of the third floor of the building just in time to see the door locked in their faces.
One of these unfortunates said to a Kansas reporter that he missed half his breakfast in order to get to his class on time and that just as he was ready to step in the class room, the eight o'clock whistle began blowing, and he was ruthlessly shut out. He not only lost a point on his grade by being late but was detained so long that he missed the first five minutes of his class work.
Sumner Co. Club Organized,
The students from Sumner county held a meeting a short time ago and organized a county club, Roy Spear was chosen president, Joe Thew vice president, Josephine Hoge secretary, and John Stwart and Foster Hanson treasurer. The club will give the seniors of the Sumner county high school a banquet at Wellington during vacation and will probably play a game of football with the high school team.
