FRENCH OUT OF BIG PENNSYLVANIA MEET
Unable to Enter High Jump on Account of His Bad
Ankle
William French, captain of the track team, will not enter the Pennsylvania relay meet in Philadelphia this next Saturday. The inability of French to take part in the greatest relay meet in the world is due to a bad ankle that hinders him in his high jump. As was this the only event in which French was entered it was deemed useless to send him.
French's trouble dates back from last summer when his ankle was injured in a fall from a wagon. At this time several ligaments in the right foot were strained and, as the foot was dragging, the strength of that foot never fully returned.
TO CHOOSE FROM
It was about four weeks ago when the final injury, that will keep French out of the meet, occurred. He was giving an exhibition of high jumping in the gymnasium and in one of his lightings, missed his foot hold and

FRATS STAGE COMEDY BLUES' FINAL VICTORY
to Date
11 to 3 for Phi Psis in Ragged Game; Standing of Teams
In a ragged game yesterday afternoon between the Sigma Nus and Phi Pis, the latter finally lucked the big end of an 11 to 3 score and made more dope for the fans of the inter-fraternity series.
The game was one of the poorest played among the fraternities this year. There were no star plays and the entire contest was replete with errors. The Sigma Nus opened up and brought in their three runs in the finish-out, but were forced to take the shut-out verdict for the other eight.
The Phi Pais put up the best game of the two and scored more or less consistently throughout the nine acts. Delaney pitched excellent ball and deserves credit for being about man in the box in either division.
The Sig Alphs will meet the Alpha Taus on McCook at five o'clock this afternoon.
The score: R. H. E.
Sigma Nu...300 000 000--31 16
Phi Psi...120 051 20*—11 4 4
Batteries: Phi Psi, Delaney and
Campbell; SigmaNu, Moore, Rice and
Tymman. Umpire, Plank.
STANDING OF TEAMS
Three of the fraternity teams still retain their 1000 per cent standard, while the others, with the exception of the Phi Psis, are on rock bottom. Most of the nines have only played one game, however, while the Alpha Taus are to play their first game this afternoon, so it is impossible to get any definite dope as to the final results in either series. The standings to date are:
W L Pet.
Phi Gams. .1 1 0 1000
Sigma Chi. .1 1 0 1000
Phi Nu. .1 0 2 900

Gets Around Summer Baseball Ver-
tion by Forming "Ineligible" Team
In order that there shall be no conflict with the summer baseball rules recently vetoed by the conference delegates in a meeting at Chicago, University of Illinois students have organized two teams, one of amateurs and the other of ineligibles, or students who have been barred from further playing by conference rulings. A manager has been selected for the "ineligibles" and games will be scheduled with Notre Dame, Michigan and other outsiders, independent of the varsity nine.
Illinois faculty authorities have not as yet made an investigation of the new move here, but it is thought that it nine students want to play ball on Saturday the university will be powerless to stop them. The "ineligibles" lineed up against the varsity today and showed their class from the start, trimming the university representative team, 9 to 3.

IMPROVEMENTS ON COURTS
Tennis Grounds East of McCook Take 150 Loads of Clay
One hundred and fifty loads of dirt have been hauled on the tennis courts east of McCook field in order to get them above the high water mark. Heretofore, during the wet seasons, water has accumulated on the courts that has kept them in a soft, soggy condition the greater part of the time.
The courts are still in a rough condition, but will be wet and packed within the next few days so that they can be played in the games with Baker Saturday.

Four Robin Nestlings Consume Several Yards of Wriggling Fish-Lure
The average student draws his fund of information concerning Kansas birds from eastern literature instead of from personal observation. Take for example the most common bird of the camp, the robin. He is continually spoken of as a "bird of the spring," etc., while the truth of the matter is, he is here all winter, but in the very cold weather keeps in the deep timber, and only comes to town when weather moderates. In the New England states, where most of the bird literature originates, the robin is a migrant.
The name of Robin Red-breast is a mismomer. Everybody knows that his breast is not rek, but is the color of an apple that has wintered on the tree. The Pilgrim Fathers called this lusty thrush the name of their own English Robin, which is a much smaller bird with a bright red vest that belongs to an entirely different ornithological family.
Three sub-species of Robins are found in this county. The Southern Robin is a smaller bird that sometimes comes through here in spring migrations. The Western Robin which is a larger bird than our common Robin and has no white spots on his tail, sometimes comes this far east.
Fruit and berry growers in some parts of the country consider robins a pest, kill and eat them in large numbers, yet they are injuring their own cause by so doing, for carefully compiled government statistics on the food habit of the Robin, prove that the immense number of noxious insects and worms that they eat far exceeds the amount of fruit consumed which is only eaten in large quantities by the young birds for a short period.
The nestling birds consume daily a fourteen foot line of worms per nest, or as another authority has computed it, if an average person would eat as much in proportion to his weight as a nestling robin does, he would consume seventy-four pounds of flesh and five gallons of water daily.
EDITORS VISITED HASKELL
state News Gatherers Saw How Indians Publish a Newspaper
While the state editors were in Lawrence attending the meetings of the State Editorial Association, many of them took time to go out to Haskell Institute to see how the government runs things there.
A place of especial interest to the editors was the office of the Indian Leader, the paper published every Friday by students. The newspaper department was recently placed in charge of J. W. Weaver, of the Government printing office in Washington. Mr. Weaver is making several improvements in the plant, and next fall he intends to start the publication of a monthly magazine similar to the one published by Carlsle.
Miss Constance McCandles of Hutchinson, will spend the week end with Virginia Elward at the Kappa house.
Mrs. J. M. Chisham of Achison, will visit her daughter Fay at the Kappa house over the week end.
