her and Oklahoma again claimed the first page of every paperin the land with a new endurance ruler, it was announcedlate last night.

With the Sooner band playing, the Freshmen en masse,and the faculty in caps and gowns, Ethelbert brought to aclose his marathon sleeping grind . (Editor's note : After aneditorial conference the word "grind" was decided upon sincethat was the way Ethelbert sleeps) .

The former record holder, R. Van Winkle, New York en-durance sleeper, was definitely unseated when Blotz passedthe former mark of 20 years in 1928 .

Ethelbert on awakening attributed his victory to themarvelous equipment which was supplied him by the Doc &Bill Furniture Co . of Oklahoma City .

The furniture companyhopes that the contest will bring enough money in to Blotzso that the 22 year old bill may now be paid . (Naturally theequipment was sold on the firm's ultra-easy payments).

None the worse for his marathon grind with Morpheus,Ethelbert, on ending his contest immediately called for a"scupsa cawfee," so he wouldn't go back to sleep.

Speaking over WNAD, the University radio station, Ethel-bert, the new sleep sultan, said :

"I attribute my success to the famous Beauty Rest Mat-tress and DeLuxe Spring . While the former record holder setup a marvelous endurance record, he was handicapped throughlack of equipment. Van Winkle had only one Katskill spring .I had 810 finely tempered oil springs in my Beauty Rest mat-tress and 99 in the luxorious DeLuxe spring . Believe me myendurance sleep was pretty-**---soft ."

Blotz started his record breaking slumber contest abruptlyafter a lecture on psychology in the spring of '08. He intendsto enroll in the course again and may make an attempt tobreak his own record before final examinations .

conference (4 :21 .1 in 1926) was cross-country champion of that loop whilePritchett, of North Carolina, holder ofthe two-mile record (9:47.6 in 1928) wasalso a crosscountry devotee.

The fastest miler ever developed in ourown Big Six conference was Ray Conger,of Iowa State (4:17.6 while at Ames and4:13 on the boards in New York) and hewas the conference crosscountry championin 1926 with a mark of 25:52 for fivemiles, set on the Sooner course . Putnam,of Iowa State, holder of the conferencetwo-mile record (9 :30.2 set in 1930) lostto Glenn Dawson by only four yards inthe conference crosscountry gallop lastautumn .

Crosscountry as a sport has not flour-ished in the Southwest and Pacific Coastconferences as it has elsewhere and con-sequently those areas have produced fewgood distance runners. Take out JimReese and Esquival of Texas, Brunson ofRice, and Sampson, Denton, Tex. Teach-ers from the former loop and Gillette, ofMontana; Cleaver, of Idaho; Kiser ofWashington and Clayton and Hill of Ore-gon from the far west league and theyhave produced no outstanding intercol-legiate distance runners the past thirtyyears.Nurmi, of Finland, who ran the fastest

mile and two-mile in which any humanbeing has ever been clocked (4 :10.4 in1923 and 8:58.6 in 1925) preceded theseperformances by winning the 10,000 me-ters crosscountry race in the Olympicgames of 1920 . Even as a paper-hangerin Helsingfors he jogged from seven tofifteen miles to work and after wieldinghis brush vigorously all day, returnedhome via another crosscountry gallop .

As a crosscountry runner for the uni-versity in '26 and '27 I found the sportvery exhilarating . There was pure joyin drawing on clean white running at-tire and swinging along a country road,your spikes biting comfortably into thesoft turf and the stinging autumn airurging you to get up on your toes andsprint .There was positive ecstasy in the little

feeling of fatigue one experienced in at-tacking a hill and also in descending it .We used to race from our classes to thelocker room those afternoons, so keenwere we for the running.

That's the big reason I dislike seeingcrosscountry go . It was so darned muchfun. A two-mile race isn't . If they re-move crosscountry permanently, Big Sixconference directors will be destroyingone of the few sports left now days fromwhich an athlete gets genuine enjoyment.

retary and directed her to have it repair-ed .

Conferences followed that afternoonand late that night. The senior partnersagreed that the business sounded good,that it was worth the candle, that in factit sounded too good to be true . Theremust be a joker somewhere. They finallyagreed to an indication of interest in prin-ciple, but advised Boutille to hedge hisstatement with every possible reservation,and to make haste slowly .

Boutille spent most of the followingmorning considering the matter further.In spite of the clearance given by his part-ners, he was not satisfied. There werecertain nuances in the interview whichit was impossible to transmit and whichmight have affected their views. The de-cision and . the responsibility were, afterall, his, and he went over the matterfrom every angle to test his conclusions .Like many other men of similar temper-ament, the composure of his thoughts wasnot increased by his discovery, every timehe reached nervously in his pocket forhis timepiece, that a familiar object wasmissing.On his way to his club for lunch,

Boutilletille foundhiswayblocked atNassaubya crowd surrounding one of those streethawkers with which this narrow thor-oughfare is infested . With the enthusi-astic curiosity of a New Yorker he cranedforward to see what was going on . Theman was digging into his satchel andpulling out objects with both hands whichhe sold as rapidly as he could hand themout to his customers, at the same timeshouting with a loud voice,

"Dollar watches for fifty cents. Stepright up."The watches resembled those ordinary

contraptions which everywhere retail fora dollar, and without considering by whathook or crook the peddler was able to sellthem for half price, but reflecting that itwould at least serve him until his ownwatch was returned, Boutille shoved acoin into the peddler's hand, set the watchby a nearby clock, and thrust it into hispocket .
