Steady Practice Asked of
Women’s Teams
One week of practice remains be
fore the dough-nut series in wo
men’s tennis begins. Lists of en
tries must be in by April 13. “This
is positively the last day,” an
nounced Irene Buckley, coach.
Courts may be reserved one day
in advance. Houses are urged to
get their teams out for practice at
once. In order that teams may re
ceive instruction and coaching, it
I has been arranged that coaches be
on the courts for this purpose be
tween four and six o’clock every
afternoon.
“Due to the weather, it should be
possible to get in two practices a
day,” said Irene Buckley.
Six tickets are allotted to each
girl on a team admitting her to the
courts for her required practices.
I These tickets may be obtained from
j Miss Curlee in the office. It it
J necessary that each house hand in

Sports Writers in Laying
| Claim to Baseball Title

guilty of when they said that let
termen would be* ineligible, for
the law nine included no such con
dition in the contract they offered.
If the fact were only known, the
sports staff boasts no lettermen of
its own and fears the prowess of
such men as Dickey and MacGreg
or, who have earned their letter
many times over coaching from the
bleachers. It is contended how
ever that the sporty element over
at the shack should have nothing
to fear with such men as Leon
Byrne and George Godfrey to offset
the power of the above named bar
risters.
Captain “Jimmy" King wishes
attention called to the fact that the
legal representatives at ball have
never been defeated. “We have
had several offers from the East,”
he stated, "to remain permanently
in the West.” In commenting on
the preverted counter-proposition
offered by the sports writers King
was gracious enough to phrase his
remarks in words the reporter
could understand.
“In common parlance,” said he,
“the situation is this: although the
doctrine of acceptance of contracts
does apply, we do not stand upon
this ground because to the lay
mind it would be unintelligable.
Our baseball stands “as is.” If any
one desires to test our supremacy
a properly addressed, unqualified
challenge will secure results.”
The president of the law school
student body wishes to remind the
law offending journalists that “it
is our league and not theirs. We
will declare our own rules of
eligibility and we will tolerate no
‘bickeringl’ Let them accept play
for the championship or admit our
superiority. Tell them to look up
the law of contracts.”
Dean Hale, when interviewed as
to his feeling toward the gallant
defenders of the honor of the law
school, said that he had been in
formed that they were all first
class players. He admitted that
he was rather partial to them how
ever and thus weakened his testi
mony.
Progress of Aviation Told
By Oakley Kelly in Talk
At Villard Last Night
(Continued from page one)
pensive for an individual. Ignor
ance on the part of American en
gineers concerning the extent of
European developments held back
! American experimenters.
Astonishing results have been
made in all departments of the sci
ence in speed, altitude and bombing
capabilities, said Lieutenant Kelly.
“You would only have to give an
airplane a start of half a second;
then give a cannon ball a pot shot
at the airplane’s tail, and the can
non ball would never catch up
with it,” he said.
Following the lecture Lieutenant
Kelly showed three reels of motion
pictures, illustrating the develop
ments in aviation since 1908; the
experimental base at McCook fields,
and pictures of the famous T-2
plane, in which Lieutenant Kelly
finally made his cross-continental
flight in 1923, after three unsuc
cessful attempts. The T12, which
is now in the Smithsonian Insti
tute, at Washington, at one time
held nine world aviation records.
Preceding Lieutenant Kelly’s
lecture a reel of motion pictures
taken at the Citizen’s military
training camp, at Camp Lewis,
Washington, last summer, were
shown, depicting the various phases
of army life at the camp.
Lieutenant Kelly was introduced
by Captain Frank L. Culin Jr., of
the University K. O. T. C. depart
ment.
