The preliminaries for the lnter-fra-ttrnity relay race,. which is one of the events on the Charter Day athletic program, were held in the Gym lant Tuesday afternoon. Seven teams had entered the preliminaries, but owing to the fact that Burrus of Sigma Alpha' Epsilon and Flower of Alpha Tuu Omega failed to appear, those fraternities withdrew their teams. First Heat Alpha Theta Chi, first; I'elta Upsllon, second; Delta Tau Delta, third; Phi Kappa Psl, fourth. Time, 1 minute 17:1 seconds. Second Heat Phi Kappa Psl, first; Kappa Sigma, second. Time, 1 min ute 1G.1 seconds. The Alpha Theta Chi team would doubtless have made even better time than they did had they not been un fortunate in upsetting boxes, thereby losing considerable time. The race this year bids fair to bo a hotly con tested one, with the chances of win ning perhaps slightly in favor of the Alpha Theta Chis or the Delta Up silons. The. teams which qualified are: Alpha Theta Chi. Craig. Wallace. Davis. Fleming. Delta Upsllon. Minor. Collins. Rathbone. Russell. Delta Tau Delta. DenBlow. Drake. Sinith. Jennings. Phi Kappa Psi. , Bentley. McDonald. ' Burnett - PHI ALPHA TAU. Slaughter. After the show or party just drop Into the Boston Lunch for a sandwich and a cup of, coffee or an oyster stew. Organized to Cultivate Speech Arts Meets. Tho Phi Alpha Tnu hold Its first meeting for the second semester last evening In the Temple. A roundtablo discussion on the president's message was led by J O. Wontworth In a pro pared talk on the message setting forth its principal -features and tho points upon which there wns room for discussion. Each member then dis cussed the message extemporaneously for five minutes and at the closeof his discussion selected the one to follow him. It was almost the unanimous senti ment among men of all different pollti1 cal affiliations that the action of President RooBevelt is honest and brave and that he has no political reasons for such a message. The em ployers' liability clause and. the omis sion of any recommendation on the fi nancial situation were also taken up in particular. At the conclusion of the program Dr. French told of his trip to Kansas and the enthusiasm shown In that Institu tion over oratorical contests. He at tributed tho exceptional Interest partly to- the fact that tho institution takes part in few intercollegiate contests, and hence centers its attention on' inter society affairs. It is the purpose o'f the Phi Alpha Tau to hold similar informal discus sions every two weeks during the se mester in order to give the members practice In talking on their feet with the additional benefits coming from an exchange of Ideas on live questions.
