Coach Jacobs Expects Winners in Main Events
Sooner Track Team Good
Oklahoma seems to have an edge over the rest of the Missouri valley teams in early season because of the deep soil, which provides prevail in that part of the country.
Head track coach John C. Jacobsof the University of Oklahoma track team, has had his protege hard at work during the last week and is well satisfied with the early season showing of the men.
Coach Jacobs is expecting a winner in each event, having a captain track man in every event with the exception of the half-mile. Daniel Vogle, captain of the 1923 traction team is entered in the 50 yard high and low hurdles and is reported to be running on a fast ladder, dash champion of the i.m. versity has been stepping off the 50 yard dash regularly at 5.1-2 seconds
An abundance of material is available this year and the winner over a Sooner track team will have to do some fast stepping, according to a study by the Sooner camp of the Sooners. Oklahoma has been handicapped in recent years because of the shortage of material but this year there is an abundance of good material on hand and the exponents are higher than they have ever been.
The men who are making good showings in their events are Andrews and Potts in the hurdles and pault vault. Guffey, in the weight events, has far surpassed any of the other contenders.

New Eyeball Movement in Winking Discovered by California Student
Unexpected Action of Li Found in Experiments at University
Washington, Feb. 23—"Don't wink while you are aiming a gun, if you expect to hit anything. This is the experience of experimental psychology at the University of California, who announced the discovery of a new reflex movement of the eye at a meeting of the American Physiological Society."
He says that your eyeball shoots upward with lightning speed every time you wink, either consciously or unconsciously, and furthermore, that your eyelids themselves have a circular, wiping motion. They don't move up and down, as is usually sure to happen with a baseball glove, and grit accumulate in the inner corner of your eye, Doctor Miles explained.
observer was then a result of a real encounter with wounding which the psychologist made with an apparatus similar to that used for studying eye movements in reading horizontal and vertical types of writing. The hand or foot bounces are lapped on the curnor or white of the eye, which served as a convex mirror, was recorded on a photo-
The movements of the eyelids were traced similarly by the reflections of the same are from two tiny convex mirrors, placed one on the edge of a table and the other steadied, and then tracing of winks were taken on a traveling film. The result was that both lids were seen to move together and towards the nose at the same time, and as they moved through a curved air grid through an angle of 15 degrees.
Real Radio "Ghost"
Puts Town on Mar
Hill, N. H., Feb. 21—A radio incident that was inevitable, and which ended in an inevitable manner, has cut Hill on the radio map.
It began as a surreal ghost yarn; when first one and then scores of Hillars flocked at night to a point outside the town to listen to a spine-wracking "concert" whose source defied detection. For more than a week Hill buzzed with talk of "spooks."
strayed into the hills behind Hill and discovered the cause of it all. Pete Carlson, living in a modest shack and a woodchopper by trade, owned a powerful radio receiver, to listen to music that came out of his Petel's outlet appears, was so informally powerful that he had difficulty in tuning it down. So Petel did the inevitable. He stuck it out the window, where its crackling carried on like an old piece of wood came together in a natural sounding board.
From there the lusty concerts were deflected by the laws of acoustics back into Bill.
The student body of Oberlin College, Oberlin, Ohio, is contemplating change in its form of government. requests for information in regard to a form of student government have grown to a various colleges and universities.

Effect of Spilled Radium is Lasting
10 References 1000s
Washington, Feb. 3.—Once a substance has been exposed to the action of radio-active matter, and has passed through the radio-activity, it is almost impossible to free it from the effects, according to the radiograph, of the bureau of standards.
A tube containing 50 milligrams a radium, or a little less than two onethousands of an ounce, was acedentally dropped on a hard-wood floor and brushed with a nail firmly brushed up with a cane's hair brush and the floor then washed with hydrant water to take up the rei mander. latter it was washed with acetone and then neutralized the effect of the acid, and finally with hydrant water again. All of the water used in washing the floor was kept. It was boiled down and tested. The water contained about $400 worth of radium.
The floor was still radio-active that a carpenter was called in to scrape the floor so that measurements of shavings were taken, shavings were saved and three years later they were burned. On being tested the ash were found to be
Sensitive Instruments Forecast Earthquakes
Honolulu, T. H., Feb. 3. Earth-quakes may soon be predicted with as much certainty as forecasts of storms or floods are now made. The preliminary shiftsings and writings of meteorologists on human beings but easily detected by sensitive instruments, have been successfully used by scientists at Volcano Hance, on the rim of the crater of an active volcano, to give warning of a coming quake.
On the first occasion when a tea case was made, it was observed during a period of about a month that there was a decided southerly tilt of the ice on the surface and changed to a northerly tilt at the end of the month, and a few days later reversed back to its original position. Had such changes occurred when the crater was full of lava they would have been alarming, but fortunately the sun had not stopped time. On the strength of the position changes, however, it was predicted that a perceptible shock would come within a few days. The prophecy was fulfilled two days later, when a small outcrop of quite perceptible rocked the island.
R. H. Finch, of Volcano House, who describes the method used in predicting, adds that some of the popular ideas about preliminary symptoms of volcanic weather support. The so-called "terburtgewash weather," he says, is an unreliable indication. During the first part of 1924 in Hawaii there was a long period of calm and oppressive weather, with an unusually small number of shocks.
