“THE NATION” OFFERS PRIZES
TO STUDENTS WHO SPEND
SUMMER WORKING IN THE
INDUSTRIES.
The well-known magazine, “The
Nation,” has announced three prizes
for students who spend part of next
summer at work in factories, mines,
or on the farms, and who write their
experiences afterward. “The Na
tion” has offered these prizes to en
courage American college men and
women in acquiring a direct under
standing of Capital and Labor as the
two meet in mills and mines, and not
merely as text book abstractions. Any
university or college student who
spends the summer of 1925 at work in
some industrial or agricultural occu
pation may compete for the prizes.
For the best account of experiences
in the field of labor and interpretation
of the industrial situation, “The Na
tion” will pay a prize of $125. The
second prize will be $75 and the third
$25.
The judges of the contest will be
Jerome Davis, of the Yale Divinity
School; William H. Johnston, Presi
dent of the International Association
of Machinists; Mrs. Florence Kelley,
General Secretary of the National
Consumers’ League; Pierrepont B.
Noyes, President, The Oneida Com
munity, Ltd.; and Oswald Garrison
Villard, Editor of “The Nation.” Con
ditions of the contest may be obtained
from “The Nation.”
half mile races, good records were
made in practically every event.
Ward was high point man with
firsts in the pole vault, high jump and
broad jump. He bettered the confer
ence record by one inch in the pole
vault and still looked good for an
other raise had he not been required
to enter the high jump at that time.
The fire works started with “Dusty”
Poth catching a little air in the 100
yard dash. He bettered the confer
ence record by one-fifth of a second
and when he ran the 200 yard race he
lowered that record three-fifths of a
second.
Allison threw the javelin just about,
two feet farther than the mark set
by the old “Ox” Dieterich in 1922.
By no means is Hooper of S. M. U.
to be overlooked for his work in the
half-mile and mile. He came within
one and two-fifths seconds of the rec
ord in the mile. Winning both events
was certainly a good day’s work for
any man. He won the only two first
places that were taken by his team.

The Farmers batted their way to a
victory over the Mustangs last Fri
day in their first conference game to
be played on Kyle Field this season.
Rogers, the veteran portsider of the
Aggies, had the Methodists guessing
at his curve ball while he was doing
mound duty and during the seven in
nings that he performed obtained
seven strikeouts. Hillin relieved him
in the eighth after Rogers had walked
the first man up and the second had
gotten a hit.
The proteges of Coach Rothgeb
played splendid ball with a few ex
ceptions, touching Duke Bassinger,
the S. M. U. twirler, for twelve hits.
