Y esterday after­noon being devoted by CoachFriend to "priming" the men fordoing their utmost to lower thecolors of the down-state team.Sprinters practiced for an hourat starting and showed good form.Quarter-milers worked on takingthe turns, distance runners wereput through some two-lap sprint­ing. shot putters worked on snappyform. and high jumpers and polevaulters limbered up.The same team that met Illinoistwo weeks ago, with the additon ofWilkins and probably Parry, willbe lined up for action tomorrownight, but a much closer contest islooked for this time because Chicagois on home ground and the Illinoisrunners will be at a disadvantagein all track events. The fifty-yarddash and hurdle races will helpChicago, and the Illinois runnerswill probably have some difficultynegotiating the turns on the Bart­lett Gym track.Reversals of fonn for the bene­fit of Chicago may be expected inthe dash, where Eckersall and Mer­rill should have the advantage inthe fifty yard stretch; in thehurdles, where Steffen and Mc­A voy should do better over fourbarriers than they could do overonlv three hurdles as was the casein the Illinois gym; and in thequarter with the additionalstrength of Merriam. Wilkins willundoubtedly strengthen the polevault, but Coach Friend does notthink he is in good enough shape togive Norris a hard contest. Id­dings has steadily improved in thelast two weeks and may spring asurprise.Last night's basketball gamedoes not seem to have hurt Schom­mer and a pretty contest betweenSchommer, Richards, Woodin andKirkpatrick may be anticipated. Itis predicted that it will take a sixfoot jump to win the event.Special attention has been givento the distance runners and some­thing in the way of a surprise. maycome in these events. Some teamwork in the mile and two mile,Coach Friend hopes. will give Chi­cago more than one point in eachevent.The coaches are no more op­timistic today than they were yes­terday. Coach Friend says:"We will meet Illinois with thesame team that we met them withat Champaign. We hope that theadvantage of our home gym andthe determination of the fellowswill win for us some of the eventsthat we lost last time. There is achance for 11S to win. but it is aslim one."The officials for the meet wereContinued on pace fov. JUIfNESO TA TAKES GAilEIn Close Finish, Gophel.

Theone point which could be madefrom the free throw would be use­less; if two could be made. thescore would be tied.

He was savinghimsel f for the meet, even in thegame, and did not play with hisusual aggressiveness.At the end of the first half Me­Keag's men had an apparently safelead, the score being 17-8.

Gradually they pulledup until only two points behindChild's players, then Houghtonscored. and successive baskets weremade by Clark, L. Larson, andBrown, while Chicago stood still.The game was poorly played,both teams appearing over-worked.Minnesota came here from a hard­won victory over Illinois last even­ing, and the Maroon showed theeffects of a hard week of practice.Chicago's covering was poor, thevisitors passing the ball about asthey pleased. In the first half.Minnesota's poor pasisng continu­ally gave Chicago the ball.Brown for Minnesota and Me­Keag for Chicago were easily thestars of the game.The score:},f innesota (17.)Clark, L.

Or was itjust any kind of excitement hecraved? Whatever the case, he gota little more excitement than hewas loking for. Probably the sud­den let-down after the strenuous��otball season was too much forhim.One of the football men, whospends considerable of his timearound the gym when the highschool track men arc working,played a practical joke on an ath­lete from Wendell Phillips HighSchool yesterday afternoon, andkind Fates alone intervened toa vert a serious accident.The high school lad was, bycourtesy of the "rubbing depart­ment," getting an alcohol rub­down when the football man inquestion appeared in the doorway.After the first application of al­cohol had ben made the newcomerthought he saw some humor in thesituation and touched a lightedmatch to the fellow's skin.Some of the alcohol had evapor­ated-which alone averted a seriousburn-but as it was the burn wasserious enough to cause the victimof the "joke" some extreme dis­comfort.

BookOn Gromda of Par-tiaaDahipProfessor Hugo R Meyer of theUniversity, who was an importantwitness before the Senate commit­tee on inter-state commerce lastfall, and who recently published abook 011 "Government Regulationof Railway Rates," is scverly cri­cised and his work disparaged byProfessor ll.

It has not been pleasant forme to say some of the things whichI felt it my duty to say.

SSth St.J! .It. EDITORIALSl .p'r� ., . Last night the Varsity basket ballteam was defeated by that of theUniversity of Minne­Licked I sota. To the M inne-sota team, congratula­tions are due for a clean, sports­manlike, well-played game, playedall the time to the limit of theirpowers. And for the Chicago team,what? It is easy to criticise, fareasier than to play the game; andsometimes criticism is haphazardand ill-deserved. A general knockis not in order at this time. It is,however, indubitably true thatsomething was radically wrongwith Chicago the last half: thatthe team did not play the game ofwhich it is capable, a thing alsotrue of certain individuals on theteam, and the result was defeatwhich was totally urmecessaj-v andwhich may prove disastrous ..To attribute defeat or victory toone man is somewhat unfair to therest of the team, but the value ofSchommer to the Varsity basket­ball team is so generally concededthat we do not believe it invidiousto consider Chicago's demoraliza­tion due very largely to the factthat Schommer had been left out ofthe game for too long a period.There is an argument that trackchampionship is a more vital thingthan the basketball championship,and that this man was needed onthe track team. I f so. why did theauthorities change their ;ninds atthe eleventh hour? There may begood and sufficient reasons forkeeping Schommer out of the gamefor two weeks, and we are not de­sirous of passing hasty judgmentwhile ignorant of these reasons.Nevertheless we believe that thestudent body wishes to know whythe basketball championship. un­important as it may appear to somepeople. is thus placed in jeopardyby the incomprehensible.-and. webelieve ill advised-e-action of theauthorities in this matter.\..Apropos of the needs of theMONTHLY MAROON. needs which.like the poor, are always with \1S.we quote the following from theSmith College MOllthly:"The fiction shows a large pro­portion of the 'college story; andthis generally means poorer work, for the average college story is somuch more insipid than the otherstories which undergraduates pro­duce. We should know college lifeas outsiders cannot know it, andthere seems to be no reason why itsmaterial cannot be worked up intogood fiction. I t has been done oc­casionally, but the number of point­less college stories that finel theirway into the college papers can beequalled only by the deluge of sim­ilar stories written about llS fromthe outside. Why is it?"The Sociology Club is to be con­gratulated for its activity in ar­ranging for open lectures on socialtopics. The subjects are timely andof wide interest, and the meetingsare well attended. The subject fornext Monday afternoon is Settle­ments and the Club has securedProf. Henderson to present thetheoretical and historical side ofthe subject, and Miss McDowell ofthe University Settlement to pre­sent the practical side.

Breakfast was served incourses-oranges at 7 :45, sand­wiches at 9 :30, coffee at 10. Sincethere was nothing else to do mostof those in the car spent theirtime singing. And the quantity ofnoise produced between 7 :30 p. m.Tuesday and 12 noon Wednesdaywas --. Popular airs of the dateof the car were in order. Thosewho couldn't sing, (thank goodnesssome couldn't) were continually re­minded that there was a tavern inthe town, and as usual My Clemen­tine came in for her share of theblame. Old Black Joe went toheaven eleven times (actual count).A flute and a cornet added to theconfusion and in general ,. a verypleasant evening was had." Later"Good Night Ladies" became allthe rage but it semed to have littleeffect for at least two of the girlstalked all night.

The sopho­more elections are now about dueand the M innesota Daily takes theopportunity to instruct the youngpoliticians as follows:.. According to the ancient andhonorable custom, thc sophomoreclass will today present the annualfarce entitled 'Stuffing the BallotBox; or Throwing Mud in E. B.'sFront Yard: As usual the rivalmachines will wage horrid warover the prostrate honor of theclass; the voters wil be mobbed toand from and at the polls; theRegistrar's Office will look like theRoman Forum on the Ides ofMarch; and after it is all over,when the last face is punched. thelast charge made. and the lastcounterfeit ballot counted. the sameboard will have been elected aswould have been chosen if the fighthas been held under the auspices ofthe Y. 1\'1. C. A. That is the greatbeauty of stuffing the ballot and, hurling derogatory remarks at thecandidates,-except in the case ofunusually talented office-seekers,one side wins just about as manyvotes by those means as does theother.. Judging from the tales of'Irauderv and trickery' that havereached' our ears we cannot butcongratulate the candidates on thepre-elction contest and feel justi­fied in predicting an unusually suc­cessful day.'Although advice to those whohave shown themselves so expertseems superfluous, we cannot re­frain from offering a few inof­fensive suggestions to those whostand ready to sacrifice all but dis­honor."In the first place, to the candi­date we would say; if it is not yettoo late withdraw your name atonce for if you are defated you willregret it all the rest of your life.However, should this prove im­practicable, be sure to observe thefollowing rules:"Do not let your assistants votemore than five times each. and donot accuse anyone of repeatinguntil you are sure which way hisvote is going. Do not interferewith the plans of a man who islarger than yourself; get same oneelse to do it; and be patient withthe upperclassman who wants torecall the days of his own politicalascendencv, And above all remem­ber not to" get caught."Be moderate and conservativein all things, and the election can­not but be successful. and the bestman is sure not to he elected. forthe simple reason that he will notbe a candidate.",',l''I.:",JiI..

M-;;-TS ""IStudebakerBEN GREET PLAYERS.. �I unicipal ownership is an insid­ious plea of a propaganda whichhas not succeeded in private busi­ness, but which hopes to securepolitical jobs out of its adoption:'said Professor J. Lawrence Laugh­lin, head of the department of poli­tical economy in a lecture yester­day afternoon to the PoliticalEconomy club on "The 1 'resentStatus of Economic Thinking inthe United States:'"The latest form of socialism ismunicipal ownership:' he declared."It is the essence of an attempt tofly from ills we know to those wek;lOW not. The great difficulty l111-der the present conditions is in thecorruption and in the deals bywhich the franchises arc granted.�I unicipalities have proved unfitto protect the public from this evil.How can we then. expect any moreof them when they would have theentire control of municipal utilities?Until the spoils of office areeliminated-as they will be----'it isfolly to propose municipal owner­ship."And even then, under honestcity administration and under anentirely fair and honest privateownership, the present system willprove superior to municipal owner­ship. At any rate. it must then beproved that municipal ownershipcan give better service."There is always a scatteredbody of men with grievances-menwho are socialists and anarchists­with the hope of getting somethingfrom the state. These are alwaysin favor of something which opensup new opportunities for them...It is often represented thatgovernment ownership is a grow­ing popular movement. but investi­gation fails to reveal any stronglines of sentiment for governmentownership. I f a true test could bemade, it would be found that theAmericans are strongly individual­istic, as a rule. and a healthy senti­ment would be discovered. \Yhentrusts or railroads admittedly dothings unsatisfactory to the gov­ernment. and tot he injury of theweak. it is right for the govern­ment to step into the arena. hut thisis not a step towards �o\"crnmentownership."In speaking of the recent dis­closures of graft in politics andbusiness. Professor Laughlin said:"Force and ahiding' optimisman: the preeminent characteristicsof the American people. Americansare sound to the core. These dis­closures of graft arc only thesuperficial spots of dirt on a cleanorganism."
