Will Talk On Irish Literary
Personalities
Gorge W, Russell, mystic poet,
painter, essayist, co-operative econo-
mist and editor of The Irish States-
man will lecture In the Physics Am-
phitheatre on Thursday evening,
April 6, at 8:15 o'clock, on "Some
Personalities in the Irish Literary
Movement."
This lecture will be made up large-
ly of incidents illustrating the char-
acter of writers with whom Mr. Rus-
sell has been familiar, such as W. B,
Yeats, George Moore, Standish O'-
Grady, Lord Dunsany, James Joyce,
Padraie Pear sc. Thomas MacDonagh
and others.
Known by the diphthong he chose
as a pseudonym, AE, George Russell
is recognized by many as the great-
est personality in Ireland. He com-
bines an astounding diversity of in-
terests and activities.

iar sprinter, to the meet to take part
in the CO and 330-yard dashes,
llraeey showed' bis form in a trial
sprint recently, running the hundred
in 0.7 seconds. Though the timing
was unofficial, comparison with times
taken on other sprinters running
against htm convinces those present
that it was accurate.
The six track men, accompanied by
C'oaeh Rothgeb, left for Illinois Wed-
nesday morning. They will probably
arrive at Vrbana Friday night, so as
to be in condition for the meet, which
occurs the following day.
The men who \\ ill represent Kice;
in the relays are Brunson, Ghitwood,1
Greer. Varbrough, Willis, and Bracey.'
Five men were taken for the four-
mite event, so that the incapacity of
one man would not prevent the team'?
compel ins.
Each week the dance geta better
and better. Too bad it will soon be
time to go back to Autry House, even
if they are going to have wall fans.
Bet the stag line will move to the
side lines. (Subtle.)

Have you noticed that the orowd
assembles earlier and earlier?

Among the early ones last week
was a Bweet young thing who needed
a ruffle on her skirt.

Chuck Keenan from State paid us
a visit. Let's fool him and drop in
on him at the Delta Chi House some
time.

Bernlce Ludeau was adorable In a
blue and gray afair.

ers In blue getting the grand rush.

Does Walter Hall act like a mar-
ried man? Ask Homer Mathis.
Munliall, a Sigma Chi from some-
where way back East, honors us with
his presence but dances little. Here's
the answer to a maiden's prayer,
really.

Whats' happened to the old stand-

Well, someone has to make way for
the high schoolers. They'll be getting
their's in/a few more years.

Have you noticed how some of the

Hi" may well be proud of being ex

The meet, which is held in the
Armory at the University of Illinois,
is to be run off in the astoundingly
shifil time of two hours. Tljg man-
agers are assured that this remark-
able compression of events into so
short time can be accomplished, j
since it has been done twice before. 1
No doubt Coach Rothgeb will make j
a study of the methods employed in ,
staging a meet in such short time,
eliminating the long waits that are
so tiresome to faits^ and will prob-
ably use some of these methods in
speeding up the Kice relays held here
later in the -spring.
The Illinois Armory track con-
sists of a 75-yard clay srtaightawav
and a six and three<iuart.ers-laps-to-
the-rnile cinder path. Five national
indoor records have , been established
or equalled here in past years.

tween pole and boat, till Yeatman,
curious lad. decided that the thing
had been drawn out long enough.
With scarcely a cry of warning, he
let go; and Gus, poor Gus, was pre-
cipitated into the water.
Down to the bottom he went. Anxi-
ety grew when he did not reappear,
and .rohnnie was meditating diving
in and rescuing him, when all of a
sudden Gus popped up, a beautiful
sight.
He was all mud; mud in his hair,
mud was in his ears; and mud stream-
ed down his clothes; both hands were
full of mud where he had been grub-
bing for the roots of water lillles
which Gus insisted must grow in the
pond.
When questioned by the Thresher
reporter, Mr. Cranz refused to make
any statement, save that his only re-
gret was that he had lost his most
prized cigarette lighter.

This darn disease that started out
to be spring fever got all excited over
Cash and Carry Pyle'a Transconti-
nental Marathon race. As a mult,
my probosis has been traveling at a
speedy rate for three days now.
Tried to get this managing editor
feller, Murray, to let me off this
week's assignment but be wouldn't
hear to it. As a result he ain't got
so much sports from a thickhead
like me.
Wee Dickie Kerr's basebailers
swiped the first game of the season
from the Southern Pacific club at
S. P. Field, and is willing to do the
same stunt all over again tomorrow.
Those beanies are sure going to make
the Texas Longhorns hustle in the
opening games of the Southwest
Conference.
Speaking of playing the S. P., any
Rice fans who want to get out to
see the game and don't know where
the park Is proceed as follows: Go
out Washington Avenue to Oliver
Street, just before you get to the
cemetery; turn to the right and go
to the end of Oliver. That's the
Southern Pacific's home grounds.
As for tough luck, it belongs to
Stella Furman. Stella cracked a fly
to Gibson which Gib muffed, and
Stella got nothing but second base
and a time at bat. Knipple had du-
plicated It just a moment previous
and been credited with a triple. Hor-
rible!
And Hankus Grant comes In for
the hard luck boy, too. Hank had
to spend the day pitching pebbles
at the bench warmers to keep them
awake.

A new publication appeared on the
Rice campus Saturday when the
first copy of "The Hairyears' Week-
ly" was distributed among members
of the engineering classes.
Consisting of two mimeographed
sheets, the Infant paper contains an
announcement of its editorial policy,
that of uniting more closely the
members of the various schools of
engineering, and news items con-
cerning the activities of engineering
organizations.
A discussion of means by which
the attendance at meeting of the En-
gineering Society may be increased
is presented in the midget newspa-
per. A scheme for an electric train
control is described, and a call is-
sued for engineers to assist in build-
ing a model for exhibition at the
Engineering Show.
Copies of the new publication are
free to all .engineers, and can be se-
cured at the Mechanical Laboratory.

Dear Auntie:
One time I bad an intermission
