Two Sophs Will Battle For Pole Vault Honors
(This is the sixth of a series of articles dealing with various events at the Big Six indoor track meet to be held in Kansas City's Municipal auditorium Saturday night. Tomorrow; the mile run.)
Two young vaulters who should soon rank with the greatest Big Six pole vaulters of all time will head the field in their event at the conference indoor track meet in the Municipal Auditorium at Kansas City, Saturday night.
The pair of young stars are Harold Hunt of Nebraska, and Dick Higgins of Missouri. The two promise Big Six track fans a load of thrills during the next three years.
Hunt ranks as the best of the two at present, mainly on the superior performance at the Illinois Relays. The Cornhusker sophomore won the vole vault in that meet with a vault of 13 feet 6 inches. Higgins tied for second, vaulting 13 feet. Went 13-6 at Illinois
The Nebraskan has been consistently good this winter, vaulting 13 feet in the Kansas-Nebraska dual meet, then doing 13 feet 6 at the Illinois Relays and 13 feet 2 inches in the dual meet with Kansas State. Last year as a freshman, Hunt
The Montana boy was of slight build when he came to Missouri, but he followed the advice of Coach Chauncey Simpson and spent a good deal of time on the bars, horses, and other gymnastic contrivances. He is now a muscular youth and set a new school record in the pole vault by clearing the bar at 13 feet $ _{1/2} $ inch earlier in the season.
vaulted 13 feet to win a place in his event at the National Junior A.A.U. meet. Coach Ed Weir believes he has a great future.
Higgins, who hails from John Munski's home town, Lewiston, Mont, is more of a "made" vaulter than Hunt. Higgins vaulted only 11 feet 5 inches in high school, but has developed sensationally at M.U. Grew at Mizzou
Battling for the other places in the pole vault, will be Phil Scott of Nebraska, Jack Crocker of Missouri, and Bill Beven and Jack O'Hara of Kansas. Scott tied for fourth at the indoor meet last year and has vaulted 12 feet 4 this winter. O'Hara has a mark of 12 feet $61^{\frac{1}{2}}$ inches.
Trials for the billiard team, which will participate in the national three-cushion - telegraphic - billiard tournament, will be held in the recreation room of the Memorial Union building at 7 o'clock tomorrow night.
The selection of the team members depends on the player's ability to make 24 key shots. The five contestants having the highest score will be chosen for the team and the next two highest will be alternates.
This is the second telegraphic billiard tournament which the University has entered this year, Kansas won eighth in the national pocket billiards tournament on Feb. 29. The University of Michigan won first place.
a meal ticket is a good investment
3-Cushion Trials Tomorrow Night
The tournament will be run off at 7 o'clock next Monday night in the recreation room. The scores will be telegraphed to the other schools entering the contest and the winning team will be determined by a comparison of all the scores sent in by teams over the nation.

was left in Kansas City to hold the
bag.
The youth, whom de Jonon described as about 20 years old, olive skinned and well educated, came to de Jonon's rooming house at 1241 Louisiana February 29, and said that he planned to enter Oread Training school. Giving his name as Antonio Fernandez de Castro, the youth told of living in New York and described several places in Havana which were familiar to de Jonon.
Saturday afternoon the two went to Kansas City with dates and attended a show. During the picture, de Castro excused himself and said that he would meet the party later. He didn't come back.
What
MORE FOR YOUR MONEY
In the past 10 to 15 years, the engineering improvements and operating economies of your electric commuting car have allowed you to cut the average price of household electricity just about to half. Many car owners now hold appliances, lots of light, a radio and refrigerator pay very little more to operate. You can pay for light alone.

T
a Country!
HERE'S a lot in what you say, Mister. In many ways the United States is a terrible country. Millions of fine, capable Americans are unemployed. Graft, crime and poverty are still with us. No one can agree how badly off this country of ours really is.
But look at it another way. Mister. The strange Fate which governs the rise and fall of nations has given us a pretty fair break. We have more freedom, more security, more cars, colleges, hospitals, radios, telephones and electrical household equipment than the rest of the world.
Even so, Mister, you're absolutely right—we have a long way to go in this country. What's true of your nation is also true of our businesses. Take your electric company, for instance. We have come a long way. Yet each one of us knows we have a long, long way to go. It's true electric rates have been reduced constantly—though most of the things you buy have gone up in price. The best assurance that electric rates will go down and our standards of service will go up in the future, is the consistent past accomplishment of your electric company's people, whose untiring work has steadily brought rates down and service up.
As a matter of fact, better service and lower rates are measures of our progress. It's the American way of doing things—to distribute more of the good things of life and do it for less. That's the only way any business or institution can continue to exist.
Every employee of this company would like you to know this one thing. We realize the future of our company and our individual futures depend on how well we do our job for you. First, we must bring you the best possible service we know how today. Second, we must prepare ourselves to do a vastly better job for you tomorrow.
Yes, Mister, we people of the electric company are proud of the part we play in the American scheme of things. But we're not forgetting that we, too, have a long way to go.
