FIRST OF MEET TO BE TOESOUK Intramural Bar Vault and Swim Scheduled FIJIS HOLD FIRST PLACE Nineteen Teams Entered in Annual Pentathlon Less than a week remains for the entries of the intramural pentathlon to round into shape for the first two events, the bar vault and swim, which will be held next Tuesday evening at 7:15 in the men’s gym nasium. “Hank” Foster, director of the intramural program, asks that the managers of the different house teams turn in the names of the five men that will compete in the pentathlon before Friday evening, February 1, at 5 o’clock. The names of the men on the team must be turned in to Foster before the men can compete in the events. Fijis Hold Lead Of the 19 teams entered in the intramural tournament the Fijis have managed to hold down first place. There may be a chance that they will be dethroned if some team piles up a high score and carries off the meet. The first two events will be staged Tuesday even ing and the remaining three, rope cilmb, run and high jump will be finished Thursday evening. High Score Expected The events will be run off this year in two evenings because of the lack of time and again the amount of endurance is not requir el for two events as if all five were held in one evening. By this method of staging the pentathlon it is expected that some team will make a high score. If an extra ordinary score is made in the meet it will not be counted toward the high point position of the Univer sity, which is held by HadTlon Rockhey. Each man will be given a card and will take his turn at the bar vault, and after finishing this event will go to the tank and take the swim. Harry Seott, Jim Coss man, Earl Widmer, and “Hank” Foster will be in charge of the bar vault, while “Rudy” Fahl and Bon Park will look after the swim. INTRAMURAL SPORTS THOUGHT ESSENTIAL (Continued From Page One.) of athletics, last year tlie department of physical education through the in tramural program, had 596 men ac tively engaged in some sport. Sta tistics available in Scott’s office show that 19 men’s organizations were active in the intramural program during the past year and that each living organization had on the av erage for the year, 20 men engaged in each of the nine intramural sports. In the fall - term basketball is the major intramural activity and the 19 living organizations engaged, are re presented by seven men to a team. The varsity and freshman teams would limit the possibility of basket ball playing to 35 or 40 men instead of 112 men who enjoyed the game last year. Last fall 62 men turned out for intramural cross country, al though this was the first time that the event had been listed as an in tramural activity. During tlie winter term hand ball, the physical ability pentatha lon, wrestling and swimming are open to intramural men. The hand ball teams are composed of 2 men from each of the 19 living or ganizations. Each organization is represented by 4 men in the pentathalon, 55 men turned out for intramural wrestling last year, and swimming, which is the last in tramural activity in the winter term, attracted 75 men. In the spring each of ,the or ganizations are represented by 2 men in the tennis tournament, 11 men in baseball, and last season 50 men turned out for track. The 9 intramural sports offered to members of 19 living organizations in 1922-1923 consist of basketball, in which 112 men were actually participants: handball, 34; physical ability pentathalon, 55; wrestling, 61; swimming, 50; track, 75; base ball, 175: tennis, 34. With all of these various activi ties available for the man who likes to play—and Scott believes that all men like to play— beneficial ath letics are open throughout the year to the L'niversity student. By ad hering to, and occasionally modify ing the intramural program, the | end desired by the school of phy sical education is realized. The I man who is not in condition for varsity athletics, or cannot make •the team, is given an opportunity to improve himself physically by 9 different activities. But the tiling that pleases Scott *■-' o most, is the fact that men are ; articipating in the intramural pro gram learn to play games •which ’■vill afford them pleasure and ex . rcise and enjoyment long after they leave the University. After a man becomes 30 years of age, he does not care to play basketball— the game is too strenuous. “But a man can enjoy and does profit by a game of handball even after he becomes bald or gray,” Scott de clared. The plaque, offered by the de partment of physical education to the organization winning the year's intramural contest, was awarded to the Sigma Chi fraternity last year. Any organization winning the plaque three times in succession gets to keep the trophy. To win the plaque the organization must be a consistent participant in all of the intramural activities. The time element entering into the intramural activities does not jeopardize the student scholastic record, according to Scott. Less time is consumed and more benefit accrues to the student participating in a well organized and system atized sport than could possibly be obtained by haphazard, irregular playing. Ill closing Scott said that men en tering the intramural activities did so on their own initiative and played with a definite purpose. When they leave the University, he believes that they will continue to play on their own initiative for the same reason that they do now —for enjoyment.

DEAN DYMENT RECOVERING FROM ATTACK OF GRIPPE Dean Colin Dyment of the college of literature, science and the arts, is <rble to be about and on the campus once more, after being con fined to his.home for about a week with an attack of la grippe. The dean spent a few hours in his of fice on Monday and yesterday, but until his strength returns more fully he will carry on his office correspondence at home and will not be in his office regularly until later in the week. BOK PEACE PLAN VOTE TOTALS 477 BALLOTS Faculty Members Turn in Decisions on Issue Final returns from the straw j vote, taken on the Bok Peace Plan | show a total of 477 votes east by the students of the University. : From the 29 living organizations j which voted, 3S5 students balloted yes, and 92 no. Forty-two faculty members sent in votes on the plan, and of this number 40 were for the plan, and two against it. The ballots will be sent immedi ately to the American peace award office in Now York as the Univer sity unit in the national vote. Persons directing the vote on the campus expressed the opinion that the students as a. whole did not take as active an interest in the vote ns was expected. Edward W. Bok. at one time editor of the Ladies' Home Journal, originated the plan whereby an award of $50,000 would be given to the person who submitted the most practical plan for achieving and preserving the peace of the world. It was also stated that if the plan proved to be practical, the author of the plan would be given an additional $50,000. The author, as yet unknown to : the public, will be announced Mon- | day, February 4. MISSIONARY TO TELL OF LATE EARTHQUAKE Rev.

James E. Detweiler, DD., who will speak at the Presby terian church next Wednesday night, at 8 o ’clock. Rev. Detweiler is a Presbyterian missionary to Japan and a professor in the Theological Seminary at Osaka, Japan. Although his station is in the southern end of the island he was in the northern part during the earth quake and was an eye witness to the terror and ruin which followed in its wake. He has had to come to Amer ica on a leave of absence to regain his shattered health, and while in this country was prevailed upon to make this tour. He is said to be a most interesting and convincing speaker and should have a subject of great interest to all, according to Dr. Cas well of the department of pre-engin eering who has received word of his coming.

MEW SEVEN DAY SHELF PROVES SUCCESSFUL Students and Faculty Urged to Assist Library by Handing in Suggestions Considerable interest ha,s been shown in the new seven-day shelf of interesting books which was opened a. week ago for the first time. About half of tho books aro now in circulation. The plan, that of Mabel McClain, circulation lib- I rarian, and H. P. Sheldon, dean of j the school of education, is to bring before .students and faculty the current non-fiction books of most lively interest. That the plan is proving success ful, is shown by the fact that sev eral of the most popular books on the shelf are those which have been in the library for as iong as six months and are not just new books. Although they have been in the library, people in general did not seem to know of them until they were brought out together on the new shelf for special attention. Many of the books have circulated once, and a half already. Only three or four suggestions, have been handed in to the sug gestion box at the circulation desk, however, and it is by this plan that students and faculty are urged to co-operate in making known any book they may be interested in seeing added to the new shelf. The titles handed in will be judged by a. committee and if there is enough demand for the book it will be purchased for the collection. In addition to 2b books that are already ordered for the shelf, and will arrive soon, volumes will be added from time to time, as in teresting books come out and are being discussed. All books in this collection circulate without fees.
