Over fifty girls havo registered for
tho 50 and 25 yard dashes. Competi

number for tho running high jump,
low hurdles, tho basketball and base

The basoball gamo between tho
sophomores and tho freshmen will bo

The teams are very closely matched,
one side possessing a catcher of re

throw fancy "colves."
Tho shortstops on both sides are
particularly speedy, and tho first base

MEDIC CONVOCATION
YESTERDAY MORNING
Dr. William Mllroy Spoke on the Pro
fession of Medicine of Today
Great 8trldes.
Dr. William Milroy of Omaha gavo
tho annual medical address at convo
cation yesterday morning. Ho spoke
of the influence of tho physician in
the community and value of medical
work in social reform.
Tho great strides that havo been
made In medicine in recent years is
due largely to the scientlflo doctor.
Tho old-time doctor experimented on
patients; the doctor of today confines
his oxporiments to the laboratory.
The medical profession never de
creases in Importance and there is al
ways a demand for tho efficient physi
cian, The disagreeable features that
are often met with serve to strengthen
the character for crucial situations.
