Special Mid-Week Rates to Students Taylor’s Auto Livery Phone 2185 Sigma Chi Wins From Phi Sigs Plii Delts Take Tilt From Baelielordon, 11-3 Sigma Chi advanced another notch I in the league B standing yesterday ; afternoon when they took the Phi i Sigs into camp for an 8 to 2 victory. Stanley Almquist did the chucking for the Sigma Chis, and besides throwing a good game, was respons ible for four runs when his willow club sent the liorseside pill for a couple of nice rides. Until the last canto the Phi Sigs were held scoreless. Staging a last inning rally when Almquist allowed three long bingles, the Phi Sigs sent two men across the platter. The threatened hitting fest fell short and the Sigma’Chis walked off with the tilt. Schroeder, for the Phi Sigma Kappa, showed good delivery from the mound and tied Almquist for the number of hits allowed, four each. Schroeder sent five men to the bench and Almquist eight. Baelielordon went down before the onslaught of the Phi Delta Theta nine yesterday afternoon for an 11 to 3 defeat. Hummelt was in the box for the,Phi Delt club and did some good tossing. His support looked good and allowed only three men to cross the rubber for the five hits off Hummelt. Carrol did the chucking for Baelielordon. This win for the Phi Delts ad vances them to the third notclf of the league A standing. Baelielordon still holds the basement position with four consecutive defeats. Two tilts are scheduled for Friday afternoon at 4 o’clock. League B: Sigma Alpha Epsilon vs. Psi Kappa; league C: Delta Tau Delta vs. Chi Psi.

Ben Herron, an cther Cougar frosh record holder last year, is competing his first year on the varsity in the pole vault, broad jump and high jump. * * * Leo Barnes, University of South ern California’s world champion pole vaulter, uses a polo that is 2% inches shorter than the world’s re cord height of 14 feet 1% inches he has attained with it. The Trojan track captain cracked his favorite pole, a - 4 foot 1 inch bambTTo stick, shortly.before he broke Sabin Carr’s 14.1 record^ but instead of taking a longer polo to go after the mark, Iiarues resorted to a 13 foot 11 inch stick that he has packed along all season in case of emergencies. Barnes holds his pole about two feet below the height ho expects to clear, so that his short implement does not keep him from soaring to extraordinary 'lieiightfn According to Dean Cromwell, Trojan coach, part of Barnes’ success lies in the speed with which he approaches tho standards and crossbar. r»ll r * n J-i rli rt. rti rl-< rj-i f-J.1 ri i rt. r!’ rli rt-i r rS-» fj-l r II f-J’ r Low Brow Fiction Is Very Popular at W.S.C. ; WASHINGTON STATE COL I LEGE, Pullman, May 17—(P.I.P.)— Law brow tastes in reading matter | among Washington State students I , in general and co-eds in particular ; have recently come to light.
