Murray, With Torn Muscle, Declares That He Will Need a Seventy Foot Handicap
Track Captain Bradley Secures Reb-ber and George as Entrants in Relay Event
That there will be a novel track meet this afternoon is the opinion of a few of our prominent athletic magnates. Cromwell says he will handicap the men himself.
Captain “Bill” Bradley is under the impression that a class meet is to be held. He was seen as late as noon yesterday enlisting the services of Harry George and Leland Rebber for the senior relay team.
Murray, the fans will tearfully remember, “pulled” a muscle in the Bear-Cub meet, and will need a 70-foot handicap to put him back in the Bradley class.
Somebody or other expressed the opinion that the coming affair would be a novice meet, but since novices have been out of season for some time, this rumor is discountenanced.

RIALTO CLUB STAGES
INTERESTING MEETING
The University Orchestra is to appear in a home concert next Wednesday morning. The orchestra has appeared in numerous concerts during the year and has just returned from a successful tour of Southern California. They will present a varied program of stunts, solos and skits, in addition to the popular and classical selections on their program. Elmer Kendricks, violin soloist and rube comedian; Elene O’Haver, the human canary, in whistling r.olos; “Reggie” Olds, flute soloist; the Hickville Rubes in “Twenty Minutes at Home”; and the Mandolin Club in popular melodies, contribute to the enjoyment of the program. A full house is ever more desirable on this occasion than in a poker hand,—so be there with a fifteen-cent piece—Chapel

Baker, by a 2-1 decision.
George Fenimore delivered a short eulogy of the benefits of Governor Johnson’s leadership in California.
New members admitted were Elliott Banks, Edward Wilder, Newton Todd, Ivans and Dellamar.

TO CONTEST FOR THE CYC PRIZE
Law School Student Body President to Try for High Scholarship Prize Given by Book Company
Harold C. Morton, president of the College of Law student body, and a contestant for the medal offered the senior student receiving the highest grades during the entire law course, will be the representative of the College of Law for the Cyc scholarship prize.
This is a high honor, given by the American Law Book Company to stimulate scholastic attainment.
To the best writer of an essay from each law school will be awarded a set of Cyc. The contestant must have received the highest grades in his institution.
A scholarship in the Eastern schools will be awarded the three winners.
Morton, if he maintains his present standard, will have the highest scholastic average ever obtained by a law student.
Marking the biggest step of the year in the development of university affairs and traditions, a University Day is being planned by Skull and Dagger, the men’s honor society.
Such a day is held by most of the large universities. Classes in all the colleges are dismissed for the day. Alumni come back in force, mingling with the students, meeting old “profs” and taking part in the celebrations. Here most of the affair will probably be held at Exposition Park. Different organizations may put on skits illustrating phases of college life. Athletic contests will be the order part of the day, and sprinkled in between varied events will be receptions in the buildings, teas in some place, and scattered all over the park and campus will be groups and couples, and setting off all will be new spring dresses and beautifully colored parasols, etc. ad infinitum. At a certain hour of the day the fraternities and sororities will be at home to their alumni and friends. Visits will be exchanged, while serenading and singing may be added to reproduce the local color.
Such a University Day has long been a dream of some, but not until now has it taken definite form. The suggestion came to Skull and Dagger from the College of Law through Mr. C. E. Millikan, a member of the society. He states that the College of Law, both students and faculty, will back it personally and financially. Good reports are likewise expected from the other colleges.
Skull and Dagger, having as its membership many leaders and heads of activities of each of the colleges, is especially qualified to plan and carry out the affair, especially in securing co-operation from all the colleges. All the members are preparing to devote much time in advertising and boosting the affair.
Mr Arthur Chapman, Skull and Dagger president, announces the following committee for the day: Mr. C. E. Millikan, chairman; G. P. Tan-quary, H. C. Richmond, J. L. Swartz, and Clifford Hughes.
