Sun Dial Set Bat the M Tatch Was Not Right
The stmdial has been set. Students who depended on the shadow cast by the nose of the metal face were late to their classes. They blamed it on the sun dial. So "Bill” Downey set it.
Setting the dial W’as an arduous task. The lack of bands to turn made it seem an impossible one. But while "Bill” had his hands no one needed to worry regarding the outcome. “Bill” reached down and swung the whole upper two-thirds of the ancient time-teller. The pedestal is separate from the base.
But the watch he set it by was five minutes slow. Ronald Stannard had to set it again.
‘FROSH’ DEFEAT LINCOLN HIGH TRACK TEAM 80-42
Whitcomb and Lamport Families Gain Many Points—Swan Is Lincoln Star
Showing Much Better Than Against Poly—Meet With Manual Friday
Dean Cromwell’s freshman track team took Tommy Davis’ Lincoln ; high school athletes into camp Mon-j day afternoon by the one-sided score of 80 to 42, in the third of a series of I meets between the Trojan babes and I the city high schools. The Lincoln | team is composed principally of i youngsters who have bad little pre-I vious experience, and the showing i they made against their older oppo-i nents was very creditable.
The Lamport twins, competing under Trojan colors for the first time, did not show anything particularly startling, but contented themselves with winning the first two places in

REV. DR. D. J. HIGGINS MOURNED BY U. S. C.
The Rev. Dr. I). J. Higgins, ',)9, a former student in the department of philosophy in this university, died Saturday. at the home of bis daughter, Mrs. K. I. Spencer, 915 Maple avenue, I ‘asadena
During the time the Reverend Dr. Higgins was a student here three years ago, he was the oldest college student in the United States. Although he retired as an active clergyman many years ago, he kept up his activities a^ a student of psychology, and only a year ago published a book entitled “Human Nature.” It was his custom to read a chapter in Greek every day.
The Reverend Higgins was born in Maine, and had made bis home with bis daughter in Pasadena for many years.
ing, a varsity team, consisting of George, Clarke, Crippen, and Beebe, was entered in the relay race. However, it was completely outclassed by both the freshman and "prep” runners, and finished a poor third.
All the marks in this meet were better than those made against Poly 011 the previous Friday, and Cromwell is confident that his proteges will be able to clean up Manual Arts next Friday. The Artisans defeated the varsity team last year and later won the state chamnionship, so the “frosh” would consider it a very creditable achievement if they are able to “wop” the high school lads.
Following is the tabulated result of the meet with Davis’ Rail-splitters:
880-yard dash—Wilson (I'. S. C.) first. Cook (L.) second, Tarling (L.) third. Time. 2:11.
100-yard dash—W. Lamport (U. S. C.) first, H. Lamport (U. S. C.) second, Wright (L.) third. Time, 10 4-5 seconds.
440-yard dash—Cook (U. S. C.) first. Mason (L.) second, Harris (L) third. Time, 55 seconds flat.
220 low hurdles—Chestnut (U. S. C.) first, Pierce (I,.) second. R. See (L.) third. Time, 18 1-5 seconds.
