Kansas May Arrange With Valley Schools for Golf Competition
and Drake
Dr. F. C. Allen Plans Matches With Iowa State College and Drake
That golf matches between Kansas and other schools in the Missouri valley will probably be arranged soon after the Kansas Relays was the prophecy of Dr. F. C. Allen today.
Grinnell College and Oklahoma University are taking up golf as an intercollege sport and expect to participate this spring. lower State College and Drake also have teams and are anxious to meet other valley
As many of the valley schools are just beginning to take up golf or do not have a schedule, it is difficult to arrange a schedule of rams for all the valley, but it is possible that several dual matches will be arranged, according to Doc.
It is highly probable that games will be arranged with Iowa State College and Drake sometime in May, playing on the Lawrence course; and Kansas will probably send a team to Ohio as part of April or the first of May.
According to Doctor Allen the ranking players of the University at present are Crowder Woldrow, e24 captain; Justin Hill, e26; John Henry, e26; and Louis Huber, e24 all of Lawrence.

Statisticians Find College Graduates Have Long Lives
Death Rate Among Women in General Population Larger Than it Should Be
College women, as a rule, live longer than their less highly educated sisters. A study covering the mortality experience of 15,564 women graduates from colleges, showed that at the ages of 20 to 64 years the mortality rate was between 25 and 34 years, where nearly one-half of the total observations were centered, the death rate was 2.7 per 1,000. Among women in the general population of the United States Registration Area the death rate is this age greater than twice as high, namely 6.10 per 1,000.
In commenting on the above figures, Dr. L. L. Duklin, Statistician of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company says:
"The favorable death rates of graduates of women's colleges clearly indicate that the prevailing mortality among women in the general population is far in excess of what it should be"
"These favorable figures seem to be due to several important causes. First, there is the selective effect of the second factor, the malleable pressure from studies usually drop from the rolls. College women also come from a superior home environment; the presumption is that for nearly all of them, stances have been such as to conduce to better health than the average. These women, during their lives in a college environment, also benefit from periodical medical examination and from prescribed physical exercise in a general population. After graduation many of them enter professional outlets where the risk of death is at a minimum. Not less important is the favorable effect of the whole college education on the right conducion of life.
