L WILL RACE S. C. HURDLERS
s. C. CHAMPIONS CONFIDENT
Alleged Dark Horse From Prohibition State Will Compete With Local Stars
Fred Kelly and Earl Thompson,, both of style jumping fame, have a rival. He was one of those dark horses from Kansas who, by learning to high step from Kelly’s pictures, has in turn beat both track kings at their own little game. This Grecian-like sprinter, Bob Simpson by name, sailed the high hurdles recently at an eastern meet in 14 4-5, setting a new world’s mark.
Tomorrow at Stanford the Mur-curians, joined by Murray of the Cardinal team, will race in an effort to lower the new record set by Simpson. This will be a special A. A. U. meet for the sprinters, all having run the hurdles in 15 seconds flat.
Neither Kelly or Thompson have much to say, but the way they grit their teeth and sail over the sticks these days until dark shows what they expect to do.

ELECTRICIANS WILL
Electrical Engineers Under Supervision of Professor Nye to Install Lights for May Festival
DR. BAILEY SUFFERING
FROM PARALYTIC STROKE
Using nine 1000-watt electric lights with the latest reflectors so the audience will not be inconvenienced by having the light shine in their faces, the department of electrical engineering will manage the lighting for the May Festival this year.
Professor Nye thinks such practical work is of greater benefit to the students than work in the laboratories. He estimates they will use more than 600 feet of wire on the campus. The orchestra will have its own lights and a blaze of brilliance will designate the place of the sellers of good things to eat.
Miss Olga Hammond, as Spring, is practicing with seven girls from the College of Oratory a dance, “The Call of Spring.” Miss Aileen Kenison will sing, as a feature of the dance.
