Otherwi e. the depression was complete in the major sports, In tra k however, there was a single star Burt Nelson of Butler, who broke the indoor intercollegiate high jump record. Even Nelson, however succumbed to the hoodoo on Hoosier athletes, and failed to show favorably on outdoor fields. This was ascribed to a throat till-nv-ut which eventually froced an operation. Outlet University's basketball team, Which had won the national rou-n si year before, was shatter■it by ineligibilities in mid-season. ■nd finished far out of the top class. The famous Purdue football team that took the 1929 Western Con'erence crown without a tie or ■WeaL was beaten twice in 1930, ■1 hough “till among the best in Hr- conference. In basketball, Purdue captured sectional -potlight with its winning of the Western Conference t’t’e without loss of a game. A ■'oris've drubbing at the hands of Pu’ler, a non-conference rival, put 'll-m out of the national spotlight in th’s cnort. however. In holing, baseball, golf, and all minor sports.

UP Staff Correspondent The y ar 1930 in football was notable for a number of things: 1) Ten straight victories, and mother national championship for Notre Dame. 3) Th large number of crushing defeats inflicted on major teams. 3) Only four major elevens come'et d the year without a defeat or tie. 41 Resumption of relations between Army and Navy forth benefit of charity. 51 M>re widespread int rest in] football, although some of the major schools failed to attract as large crowds as in 1929 b cause ofj inferior teams. 6) Failure of the shifts to hand!-’ cap t arcs using that sty e of play. | No’re Dame Supreme Surviving th? hardest schedule ever attempted in the history of football, Notre Dame in the writ-! e- s opinion, won the national title for the second year in succession without a doubt. By winning ten' games in a row against at least one I major t tun from every section of the country, Notre Dame ran its st: Ing of consecutive football victores for the past two years to 19. Notre Dame beat Northwestern. I 14- it; Army. 7 —6; and Southern California, 27 —0, on successive | Saturdays. Never b fore have as many' major teams received such over-' whelming defeats as th y did in all sections of the country the past season. Southern California crushed its foiemost rivals, California. 74—0, an i Stanfords, 41—12. Notre Dame rolled up 35 points CHICAGO SIiIPAW AND RETURN ©/ $3-50 Next Sunday Lv. Decatur 2:24 ~m . Ar.

Ala- ( banta anil Washington State, op-, laments in the Tournament of!* Roses game New Year's day, each 1 won nine games. Utah won eight games, but did not go oulside the Rocky Mountain conference. Colgate, although beaten by < Mic higan State, 14 7, in an early / season upset, topped the nation ini, trm scoring with 382 point? Lett Malcnlso, Colgate fill.back, was the nation's leading individual I scorer, with 144 points. : Alabama compiled the best <1 -•* fensive t cord among the country's major elevens. Only two touch-, downs — 13 points — were mad’| gainst the Crimson Tide, both of I® them on forward passes. Army ano Navy ~ After a two-year breach over , eligibility rules, the Army and Navy met on the gridiron once 1 more, playing before 75,000 at ( Yankee stadium. New York, for the ( benefit of charity. A 56-yard run- ( . by Ray Stecker, Army back, in the | final period, gave Army a 6 —o vic-| Q tory. ■ v The biggest crowd of the season ip witnessed the Notre Dame-Army L game. 110.000 spectators braving I the cold and rain to see those two| ( , undefeated elevens battle at Sold-j 0 I r's Field. Notre Dame won, 7 —6. | a The Notre Dame-Southern Cali , fornia tame drew 90,000 at Los Angel s, with demand for seats almost unprecedented. p In many sections some of the I gridiron leaders of oth r years I f) failed to attract crowds equal to the 1929 season, hut this was due IJ, to inferior teams or bad vv uther r in most cases. Winning teams consistently play-.p cd to larger crowds than a year I s ■ ago. Notre Dame almost play’d v 'to half a million. Yale, even with a a losing team, attracted more than t 400,000, | p The Shift Legis'ation against th? shift play 'failed to retard the offensive of; teams using that type of play as much as ths rule-makers had anticipated. Rockne, foremost advo- ; 'cate of the shift, believes that ths 1 present shift rule is better than ! the old one, and that the longer j paus; has helped instead of ham- , I er d shifting teams. Few of lust year's leaders were l again able to land near the top' again, i'tal: won the Rocky Mountain championship for the second i I straight year.

Southern Methodist university of I Dallas, Tex., mad two long trips, pushing Notre Dame to the limit, but losing, 20-14, at South Bend, and defeating the Navy at Annai polls, 20-7. , It was a bad year for many prom-: i. tn nt coaches.

Thirty'one were convicted on charg s of iiiutder, four for hank robberies, one as a habitual criminal, two for kidnaping, three for robbery with Hi-at ms and wounding persons; and four for statutory offenses. The electric chair took the lit’ of one man during th? year. He was James Britt. Lake county Negro. Two others were sentenc'd but received stays of execution. Forty-eight of the new prisoners —-6.3 p r eent — had attended college and 130 —17 per cent had attended high school. Twenty-six inmates di d during the year in the prison hospital, and nine died in the hospita. for the insane. Four of the <1 aths behind prison walls were due to spinal meningitis, which at one time tcached epid-mic proportions. At the close of the fiscal year 2,331 men wer? serving terms, compared with 2,188 at the close of the previous fiscal year — an in-, creas? of 143. Nearly 600 men w re released on parole, about 200 more than wete granted clemency the preceding year. No pardons were granted. Construction of a new $160,000 cel. house, to accomodate 340 prisoners. was begun during the year and will be completed early in 1931. Ptison labor was used entirely in const: uetton. Two doimitories were built on prison farms. The auto license factory began operating at the beginning of the year and highway signs, street markers, and license plates were manufactured. The experiment of raising tobacco o.i tlb p son farms proved successful during the summer, and witbin the next year it is hoped to annua ly grow a sufficient quantity to provide all of the stated penal institutions 0 Glory of Being Good Great hearts alone uiiders’arid how inuch .-lory th'-re is in being good.

UNIVERSITY HEAD SCORES COLLEGE QUEEN CONTESTS Oldahoman Condemns Many Types of School Organizations Norman. Okla.. Jan. 1 I Condemning th- over organization !,r i. —m—r" -ind pro'essional clubs and fraternities on the campus of he I nivers ty of Oklahoma and I decrying queen elections as “prepIs< bool sh," President W. B. Bizzell reiently outlined a plan to . flip n ite many of the useless organizations from the university and to altolislt queens. In dep'oring the election of, queens, hd said. "In a ttnlversily o’ this size and standing, queen elections are -amateurish' and prep-sehoolish' and should be eliminated." I's plan of eliminating many of the pnrposele s and meaningless lulis provides for the appointment | ’ of a committee whose duty it will lie to make a thorough survey of the purposes of honorary clubs. A survev of professional and honorary clubs and fraternities on the campus in 1929 showed that, there were I*l4 such organizations in existence. Between 10 and 15 more have been formed since then. The Pan-Helienie council voted to go on record as disapproving of queen contests. It was pointed out I at the time that too many queen elections tended to cheapen such honors and make them worthless. Point Moral Idea Little Apes of Nikko, sometimes ktn-ttii as the "Three Wise Mon I keys." is the name of monkeys ; which appear in a mural decora i lion among ancient tombs at Nikko. Japan The three monkeys are us follows: Mizarti, who sees no evil; Kikazaru. who hears no evil; Mazaru. who speaks no evil. The legend connected with these nn-n keys Is simply a moral idea to |w>inl out the wisdom of mind nt ones <>wa affairs and the folly of scandal. o Evil of Dizcontent Discontent not only produces an unpleasant facial expression, but It causes tissues to lose tone. It tins a laid effect upon the digestion and the hotly does not make repairs properly. All cloudy emotions take elasticity from the skin, throw the physical machine out of kelter and wreck Hie house of bemty. t'h’-er fulness has much to do with health and good looks Fish Respond to Call The owner of a small lake near Fremont. Neb., says that fi-h nitty be called at feeding lime ns well ns animals. He finds they respond most readily to whistling, or thiinqv Inga dlshpa-i A few seconds after whistling or thumping, lie says the waters of Ins lake near where lie is standing are alive with bluegills, crappies and bullheads, swarming in for their expected meal. — .j, —.

In India and Derain It has always been an object of admiration, celebrated in song nnd romance breathing luxury hive, am) fragrance. A Fifteenth ’•entury Arabian traveler, Ahder razzak. wrote of the Inhabitants ot one of the Indian stntes which he visited: "These people could not live without roses, nnd they look upon them as quite as necessary as food." Right Method of Walking The pulilie health service says that file correct method of walking Is to walk with tiie toes pointing nearly straight ahead and only slightly out. Correct posture Is more like the military attitude a’ rest—namely, with heels apart, toes almost straight forward, the sides of the feet approximately opposite sides of a square. This attitude gives stability and poise and in sures a proper distribution of the weight of the body upon the structures of the feet. Sunniest Spot on Continent Scientists of the Smithsonian institution have selected Table mountain. I<M» miles from Los Angeles, as the location of their solar observatory because the mountain is believed to he the sunniest spot in North America, although not the hottest, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. Extreme Southern Points The most southern point of land In continental UnPod Stales is tn the vicinity of tyist cape, Florida, at approximate latitude 25 degrees and 4 minutes. However. Key 'vest, at approximate latitude 24 degrees and .32V 2 minutes. Is COn- ; riected with the mainland by bridges and viaducts. The most southern point of Texas is in the vicinity of I Bnr.vnsvttip and is at latitude 25 degrees and 50 tPitmtes.
