HIGH HURDLE EVENT AT NEWARK IN 14 4-5 Missouri Star Defeats Kelly by 2 Yards Thompson Third and Murray 4th Didn't Enter Other Events MEREDITH LOSES TO TOM HALPIN Pennsylvania Man Runs Sec ond to Boston Athlete in 440 Race Florin Floyd Gets Third in Pole Vault. By United Press. NEWARK, N. J.. .Sept. &. Forty thousand persona thronged the stands and dotted the hills near Weehaqulc Park this afternoon and watched the most prominent athletes in the coun try shatter six A. A. U. records In the annual Senior Championship event. Running against the best hurdlers of the country. Robert 1. Simpson, the University of Missouri star, today dem onstrated his claim to the title of "world's greatest hurdler" by winning the 120-yard classic in the National A. A. U. Meet held here today. Simp son's time was 14 4-5 seconds, setting a new record for the A. A- U. meets and coming within one-fifth second of his own world's record time of 14 3-5 seconds. Fred Kelly, former world's cham pion and star of the far west, gave Simpson a close race, but was not equal to the Missouri boy's pace and finished two yards behind the cham pion. Thompson, the Iceland Stanford won der, who has been timed in 14 4-5 on the coast, ran third. Thmopson was looked upon as the mm who might beat Simpson and his poor showing was a surprise to all. Thompson, known as "the freshman wonder" has beaten everything on the coast this summer. Murray .who beat Simpson in the A. A. U. meet at San Francisco last year, finished fourth. Because of the conflicts in the pre liminaries of the low hurdles and the (finals of the highs, Simpson confined himself to the high event, deciding at the last minute not to compete in the 220-yard distance.

"Some of the healthiest and most rugged men In Congress were reared on a farm. And more than that, most of the prominent men in our history have come from the farm, there being. of course, exceptions to this rule The ibest exercise in the world for i physical, arid therefore mental de velopment is to be found In routine woUt on a farm.

M,U, CADET OFFICERS ORGANIZE NEW CLUB 'The Barracks" Is Name of New Organization Rents Welch Academy. 32 CHARTER MEMBERS Purpose Is to Bring Univer sity Soldiers Into Closer Working Order. When school opens at the University on the 18th, perhaps (he newest or ganization that-wil be found here will be "The Barracks,'' a club composed of thirty-two officers and non-commissioned officers of the military corps- The new club, through Us president. R- S. Rameyi of Springfield, Mo. signed, on August 1, a contract with Colonel J. B. Welch for the nee during the coming school year of the Welch Military Academy and grounds comprising an area of fourteen oeree, and as soon as the charter members of the organization arrive here they will take up their living quarters in the new location. The movement for the formation of a military) club of this kind was launch ed before the close of school last year. At that time the thirty-two officers and non-commissioned officers in school signed a mutual bond to see the project through. These men will compose the charter members of the organization and, therefore, will not be required to pay membership fees After the tentative plans had been made for the formation of the new club last year the following officers were elected to serve for one year; R. S. Ramey, Springfield, Mo., presi dent; W. P. Maring, Jr-. Carthage, Mo.. Secreary and Treasurer; T. M. Cor nell, Kansas City, cfctmmisary. Efficient Privates to Re Admitted. According to F. M. Darr, one of the charter members of the club who is acting as temporary president until Ramey returns to school, the- organi zation will have none of the aspects of a fraternity. There will bo no ri tual or initiatory ceremony with the exception that every new member who is admitted to the club after the be ginning of school, other than the char ter members, will be charged a nomi nal entrance fee. The organization, also, will net be confined solely to of ficers. Those privates .whose -work in military the commanding officers think should merK their future promo tion will be considered as members and by a two-thirds vote of the organ ization will 'be admitted. The members of the "The Barracks" will have the use of thirty-two rooms on the second floor of their new location- A suite of three rooms on the first ffcor will be occupied by Sergeant and Mrs. A. D. Thompson of the Uni versity Military faculty, who will act as chaperons. The remaining rooms on this floor will be converted into a lounging room, dining room, library, kitchen and office for the secretary- treasurer of the club. In the basement will be the wash rooms, bath roome, service quarters, store rooms, and smoking rooms. The entire space on the second floor of the building will be occupied by the roomers. The at tic will be used entirely for storage purposes. When asked this morning what ttie underlying purpose of the new organ ization was, acting President Darr said: "The primary purpose of this club is to tike another step toi bringing the officers and men of the military corps Into a closer working order so that more real efficiency can be had in military training. We believe that hy the men living together where they can discuss in common military top ics, we have done a great deal to get them working together with more har mony."
