DRAKE-NEBRASKA CORRES
PONDENCE MEET PROGRESSES
Drake Wins High Jump Average
Jump Out of Best Thirty Men
Over Five Feet.
The track meet which is being ear
ned on by mail with Drako has been
progressing comparatively well durliiR
this week. The men of tho University
seem to faor plan and have turned
out well The first event, the high
jump, came off Monday. About forty
men were in this event and the aver
age jump of the thirty best men was
taken a the result. At Drake on the
lame day seonty-six men appeared
.ind here, also tho average of the
thirty bebt jumps was taken. Drake
carried away this event with a Jump
ni r leet, Nebraska making only 4
leet 10 inches. Next camo the shot
put, but a misunderstanding occurred
which will make it necessary to re
peat this event at some future date.
Diake used a 16 pound shot, while Ne
braska used only tho 12-pound weight,
hence no result can bo stated. The
preheat condition of tho weather pre
enth any out-of-door work and many
ot tho races must be postponed until
the balmy days return. Tho 26-yard
dash will, however, bo run some time
next week Nebraska has a number
of bhort distance men and a good aver
age showing is expected.
Tho coaches of both institutions be-
liee that highly beneficial results can
le received Iroin this "long-distance"
athletic meet. One of the chief crit
icisms of modern college sports is that
they aro used to develop the few and
the great mass of students are nevjer
given an opportunity If the corres
pondence meet can be made success
iul it wilf furnish competition and
training for a large number of oung
men.
The following ih the list of events
as they are scheduled-

ENGINEERS COLLECTING
FAIR LADIES' HAIR-PINS
"What you find, 'Pink'?"
"This makes the ninety-sixth today.
Oh, jes; why I'm collecting hairpins.
All the engineers are doing it. You
know we've found 400 in three days
just on the campus Now, this one
belongs to a blonde. See the yellow
tint, and I've got .one hero that be
longs to somebodj's 'Psyche.' J low
do I know? Well, look at that hook
on the end of It. Now, there's ono
that Mario pinB up her scolding locks
with. Cute little thing, isn't It?
"A real suffragette One of the wire
kind that they use to pick the locks
with in tho Chem. Lab. Gee! I'm
learning a lot since I started. There's
one over there by the door. Just the
one I want. So long, old man."
Flunking Coca-Cola.
A university chemist lectured the
other day on the evils of excessive
coca-cola drinking, characterizing It in
no uncertain terms as a pernicious
and harmful practice.
Ono "coke," he Bhowetl by analysis,
contained in caffeln ten times the
amount of stimulant contained in a
cup of tea. In other wordb, the stu
dent who drinks five or ten "cokes" to
keep awake some night cramming be
fore examinations gets the same
amount of .stimulant he would get
from fifty to one hundred cups of tea
But of course he would never think of
drinking that much tea to keep going
Perhaps some students who drink
"cokes" to excess don't realize how
great the effect and danger of the
stimulation and consequent depreB
slon is. it Is tTiiie they should know;
also, that, the best sort of preparation
for a quiz Is sleep, and plenty of It, the
night before. Dally Kansan.

ship recently launched at tho Camden
plant of tho Now York Shipbuilding
company.
Tho customs authorities refused to
permit tho goata to bo brought ashore
bocause of a law passed at tho laHt
bchsIoiv of congroBs prohibiting tho
Importation of clovcn-footod animals

of a mouth and foot disease In that

ROASTED IN A NET OF WIRES
foung Civil Engineer's Career Ended
While 8upevlsing First Job
In New York.
New York. In sight of a hundred
workmen, who were powerless to help
him. George Wallln. a young civil en
gineer employed by tho Pittsburgh
Contracting company, roasted to death
on top of on Edison electric light pole
In Jerome avenue, the Bronx. The
body hung across two wires for more
than 15 minutes, until the current waa
turned off and a ladder wan raised.
Wallin was engaged in the construct
ing of the atoel frame of the immons
new Eighth regiment armory Ho was
twenty-three yearB old and out of tech
nical school only a year and full of the
nnthualaam of youth. Wallln waa in
charge of the placing and raising of
tho frame work and this waa tho big
geet morning of his career, for the
first of the great arches wow to be
raised into place under his super
vision. Wallln shinned up a tall electrlo
light pole, carrying wires of 65,000 volt
Age. In his eagerness to get things
started he crowded his way through
the net of wires and in some way dis
connected two of them. His body
formed a connection between these
wires and the immense current shot
through him.
The EdlBon people say ho waa dead
In a second. But his body writhed and
twisted on the wires and hla clothes
oaught fire. The workmen rushed to
the foot of the pole and several fought
to be tho first to climb up. Both of
Wallln'a handa were burned off and
hla right leg waa nlmoat severed at the
thigh.
