Bob-sled accidents are proving much more dangerous to the well being of the University than football ever was, even in the days when it was at its worst. Who will cry down on bobbing?
Say a good word for the general assessment when you get a chance. You will find that it is worth working for. The debating and musical interests of the University are not in the same class as the other work of the institution, and it is solely on account of the lack of support. The University should be the leader in debate and oratory in the state. Proper support will bring the rest. Get in line to give your measure of that support.
Michigan received an object lesson in the success that comes from an intense application to a single purpose the other day, when a Japanese undergraduate won the first honors in the University oratorical contest over his American competitors, and will represent that University in the oratorical contest of the Northern Oratorical League May 4. His subject was the mission of new Japan, and it is safe to assume that his visions will in a large measure be fulfilled, whatever they are. The Japs who come over here to learn the best there is of all the sciences and the crafts are going to be a figure in the world's history before long. We will have to "get a move on," if we don't fail out of the race with such opponents.
The showing of the track team at St. Louis Saturday night saves us the trouble of writing the obituary of our hopes for glory in track athletics this year. We cannot consistently be downcast if we are defeated in the indoor meets so long as our men have no other facilities for practice than the straight away dash they had in the main corridors of Fraser Hall in preparation for the Kansas City meet. Such training
does not give endurance, and that is where our men failed. We have speedy men, but the two weeks of bad weather just before the meet left them without any chance for endurance runs.
The outdoor meet may tell another story, for our relay team all but defeated the Missouri team at St. Louis, showing that they have the speed in them. We have always put up a good contest in the outdoor events, after the warm weather and the long cross-country runs, which have been impossible this year. Kansas has no sore spots and not even a suspicion of a yellow streak over such a defeat as the one at Kansas City Friday night. When we get that long looked for gymnasium with facilities for consistent practice, we will be able to put our track team where our football team has been for years.

Was Not Guilty.
The history students of Iowa University have been conducting a remarkable mock trial of Mary, Queen of Scots, for the murder of her husband, Lord Darnley. For a week the arguments and testimonies have been coming in and the jury, after hearing all the evidence, decided in their mind, there was a reasonable doubt as to her guilt, and that therefore it was their duty to aquit her.
