Reports from the training camp of Coach Jack Mookley's Cornellian distance runners indicate that the Kanata and Tampa Bay teams Pena, Redy Games have been greatly enhanced by the injuries of Hoffmire and Windleagle, two the Ithaca dependables. Hoffmire is indispensable to suffering from a bad attack of shinplints.
Cornet is the only team in the East that the Jayhawks need fear over the four-mile route and if the New Yorkers are weakened by injuries, those fighting Kansas are in a good way to slip over a great wall. The former school has been returned the winner for nine years but Oxford's quartet broke the charm last year and it would be fine if Kansas could follow this up.
For the second time within the course of the college year, a Harvard athletic team is without the services of a leader. Captain Russell Ayres of the Crimson baseball team buffles off his annual southern trip. As he has just submitted to a second operation for the removal of an abscess, it is unlikely that he will be able to join the team before thay. He will play in the game team more than Brickleys it is probable that Harvard will win the majority of her games without him.
Fred Rodkey last week showed the qualities that go to make a successful college leader. After winning the cup in the special thirty-yard competition, the Jayhawker all around man decided that the trophy was meant for novices and that he had better re-qualified with a backdrop himself to Hamilton's office but the coach refused to accept it. Such action pre-sages a successful cross-country sea son under the long distance champion's guidance.
The first day's turnout for football practice was not particularly encouraging to the football followers or coaches. But sixteen men responded to the call of the Kansas protagonist the first day. In view of the fact that Kansas even had a team with much new material it would seem that a greater interest might be expected among the members of the last two freshman squads.
Lefty Sproull has pitching aspirations these days. Saturday afternoon he spent the best part of an hour throwing an inshoot to Woody. At times he seemed to get a good hop on the sphere. Lefty has the right grip and the footwork for that is the primary requisite of every good hurler. If the curves do not cut the corners, the batters soon find it out and play the waiting game.
A peculiar situation arose at Yale recently when the members of the varsity crew who had returned to the University—four in number, met to discuss their plans. B. Denegree, resigned. Each of the four veterans received one vote and the deadlock could not be broken. Captain Denegree is now reconsidering his resignation, and remains the numbe
The increasing number of college men who take up baseball as a profession is illustrated by a glance at the roster of the New York Giants. At present they are carrying eleven players in the Nets, but their taken or been exposed to University courses at one time or another. Following is the list:
Grant claims Harvard as his alma mater. Reed and Cook formerly were the orange and black of Princeton. Mathewson is from Yale, Montclair. Murray is from Notre Dame, Brainard from the University of Illinois, Williams from Fordham, Thorpe from Carlisle, Flannagan from the Southwestern University of Texas and Robertson from Agricultural College of North Carolina.
Eddie Grant, who spent the winter in California, was engaged to coach a high school team on the Coast for a week or so. The head master told him that he wanted the boys to learn all about the inside grant and did not want them to acquire any "professional sharp practice." "What do you mean?" asked Grant. "Well," said the principal, "when a batter has three balls and no strikes, I don't bat him anymore." If the pitcher gives him a good one, I think it is only sportsmanlike to hit at it."

INFLUENCED DIDEROT TFAM GOING TO COAST
Found Inspiration in Writings of English Philosopher
in the miscellany in which of the manner in which the encyclopaedist gained his intellectual training, Lord Mory says: "He was impressed by the magnificence and these ideas were the direct source of the great undertaking of Diderot's life. He is said to have read little and to have meditated much—the right process for the few men of his potent stamp. The work which he had to do to aid him in the consumption of anything short of the strongest faculty. He composed sermons. A missionary once ordered half-a-dozen of them for consumption in the Portuguese colonies, and paid him fifty crowns apiece, which Diderot counted far from the worst barbarians in the gallary toll for a man of genius, but Diderot never took the trouble to think of himself absolutely without food and without pence, he was quite content with life as it came. If he found himself absolutely without food and without pence, he had his books and his pen, and of complying with the wishes of his father. A line of Homer, an idea from the Principia, an interesting problem in algebra or geometry, was enough to restore the eternal invincible spell of knowledge. And no soothes this circumstance vanished from before the sun, and calm and serenity filled his spirit."

If this tournament is not played or if Kansas is too late to enter Coach Hamilton will try and schedule a game with some of the big Universities on the coast so that the men will get their trip anyway.

Russian Critic Says Americans Have n't Real Musical Appreciation
Letter to New York Times:
Letter to New York Times:
Though there are some first-class European opera剧院 in the employ of singers who have made their reputation by means of clever advertising—the performances are by no means superior even to such subsidized European opera houses as those in Riga, Helsingfors, Kieffs, or Reval. Good as an inclusion in the performance of the opera companies in Petrograd, Moscow, and Dresden, opera star may be, yet the ensemble and the performance as a whole do not surpass in any way that of a provincial European company. Though I am inclined to think of Europe as one of date, yet I must say that music in America is an artificial class art. This country has, in imitation of Europe, a certain musically interested class, but the people as a whole look at music as an expensive luxury. Though it may seem that with musical instruments here, yet the fact remains that they are bought and kept as necessary pieces of furniture.
Opera are the high society, which attends the concerts and operas, does it as a social function. With the exception of professional musicians from the public, My investigation in New York revealed that the musical associations
Operas are for Society
in which the real people are interested are those of Germans, Bohmians, Hungarians, Russians, Poles, Lithuanians, and Scandinavians, but none of real Americans—that is people born here.
"Nothing but Ragtime"
bobbing on a bus. It is the folk music that results in the average American being so little musical. I remember when I lived or traveled in Russia, Scandinavia, or Germany that the people sang always. The workmen, soldiers, farmers and musicians they had no opportunity. Picnic parties or social functions took place with music of some kind. The people evidently love music. I have lived some time here, but I have not yet had an excursion parties. The only music that I have heard thus far is the awful ragtime concoctions performed in restaurants and at homes. The reason seems to be the fact that people are here a prevalent vogue of dancing is the only spontaneous expression of folk art in the United States. The schools in this country care very little for music, and there is no inspiration in the form of folksong festivals and popular musests that would educate the masses.
That musical enterprises, such as the Boston, Chicago, and Century Opera Companies, failed is due to the fact that they were not institutions that grew out of the people but existent existence artificially. America should pay less attention to athletics and cultivate more the love of music.
