CORNELL UNO
PENNEY LOOK
REST IN NIEET
PHILADELPHIA, June I.—With the
first day’s honors resting with the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, brilliant
weather again prevailed today for the
finals in the 37th annual intercollegiate
track and field meet on Franklin field
this afternoon. Thirteen Quakers qual
ified for the finals.
Cornell qualified only seven men, but
among those was John Paul Jones, who
constitutes nearly an entire track team
in himself.
The surprise of the tryouts was the
excellent showing of Columbia univer
sity. The only new record up to the
beginning of the final day’s events was
made by a Columbia boy, Russell L.
Beatty, who put the sixteen-pound shot
47 feet and 1-8 of an inch, beating the
intercollegiate record of 46 feet 71-8
Inches, made by Herner, of Michigan,
last year.
Harvard had nine men qualified for
today’s numbers, Yale 8, Dartmouth 7,
Syracuse 5. Brown 2, Michigan 7.
TTinceton 8, Rutgers 1, Wesleyan 2.
Amherst 1. Penn State 1, and Massa
chusetts Institute of Technology 1.
As a result of the changed conditions
prevailing today, Cornell was an equal
ifavorite with Pennsylvania. In addi
tion to having Jones, the Ithacans were
considered strongest in the long dis
tance events, for which no trials were
held yesterday.

keeps opposing catchers with their backs

Spring Fever Is a Good
Thing If You Get the Right
Kind—the Proverb Contest
Fever. Enter Now and See
For Yourself.
The open season for spring fever is
here. Don’t get the old-fashioned variety.
Get the new kind —the Proverb Contest
Fever, the only fever that is worth hav
ing this time of the year.
Join the ranks of the contestants for
the magnificent prizes offered by The
Georgian’s Great Proverb Contest, in the
most fascinating competition of the year.
You can get copies of all the pictures
and answer blanks that have been pub
lished. You can solve all these back num
bers in a short time, and in the meanwhile,
be solving pictures daily as they are pub
lished.
Don’t delay. The ideal time to start
is right now. The awarding of the prizes
is not far off. You won’t have to wait
long on the decision of the merits of your
solutions. And since no answers are to
be submitted until the close of the contest
whatever, in the awarding of the prizes
whether you start now or whether you
started with the issue containing the first
picture, you have just as good chance
as those that-started then. The Contest
Department will never know the differ
ence.
Get a copy of The Georgian’s Proverb
Book. It is only 25c at this office or 30c
by mail. It contains all the Proverbs
that will be represented by the puzzle
pictures throughout the contest.
The value and attractiveness of the
prizes is so unprecedented that no one can
afford to miss the opportunity of compet
ing for them.
In order to enter, you have to solve the
picture in today’s paper, tomorrow’s pa
per, the day after that, and so on, until
the 75 pictures are in your possession.
Send for the back numbers that are on
file at this office at the regular rate of
The Daily Georgian—2c per copy, and
put just a few spare moments each day
on the back numbers and the daily puz
zle, and the first thing you will know, you
will be right in line for that prize—$2,000
in gold. It almost makes your blood run
cold to think that such a prize is offered
by any contest, and you not in the run.
Besides this prize, think of the many
other rich and valuable prizes that are
offered. Think of the many people who
are competing in this contest and you not
in it. Why not start i- with the crowd
and follow them to the prizes? You may
be in the lead by the time they reach the
goal. Start now and see how many other
contestants you turn down and pass on
your way to the prizes. We will be glad
to help you.
If there is anything you do *not under
stand, write us and we will be glad to
answer your questions in the columns of
The Georgian. Try us and see if your
answers do not come straight to you.

day. where he will finish training for his
