We offered to go one mile for $2,500 but the manage- mentjflought that was too much money to pay for one horse to go one mile, so wo made them the proposition to take 60 per oent of all over their average Wednesdays ttendsnce for the previous three years. This was accepted and we were paid $7,800 for that mile.

Mr. Ssvnle was a great believer in Friday andthlruen and if any time he could- book Dan for Fri- day or for the 13th of the month he would pass over all other offer- ed dates. He told me he had been u: successful on those days. He mailed 100,000 lithographs of Dan to people in the United States, he named a railroad for him, he named a stock food for him. Dan was known by every little boy Wherever he went and lo by the thousands visited his

sta- . .14)?

The day he went his mils at Lexington in 1.55 l-d M. "E. Sturges who had sold Dan to Mr. Savage, asked me if th; horse was for sale. I told him to wire Mr. Savage. He offmd three times the price he had received for him. Thq offer was declined. Da-n for every owner he d,

breeder on to the end. The breed- er sold him to Mr. Sturges for

$11900. Mr. Stllrgcs sold him to Mr. Savage for $45,000 and he earned 111,000 for Mr. savage, to say no g of the way he in- creased his stock food business which was phenomenal. m}

I cannot cloeo this story with- out mentioning the Dan

It was a good course and Dan went his mile to sulky in 2.01 — a new world's re- cord. Then in d5 minutes I brought

him out to wagon to beat the world's record of 2.11. He went the mlb in 1M 3-4."

In finals A

Navy team, 30-13 as the Tats, after barely outsccrirlg the young Col- leglans 11-10 in the first halt‘ came on ill the second to take full con- trol of the game and win by their substantial lurgin, Prince of Wales being definitely weakened through the loss by personal fouls of two of their key players.

P. W. C. tried hard all the way but could not match the closing attack of their oppoents. In the flrst game they fell victims to a first-half onslaught that led to their defeat; last night it was the direct reverse with Prince of Wal- es fading in the stretch.

Navy's second straight win gave them a place in the finals against

semi-final which has been forced into a third game.

Williams of the Navy led his team's attack last night with 12 points while Ryan, a teammate was accounting for nine. .

Essential Courses

Another recommendation which has since been made by the Uni- versity Advisory Board and 111K101‘-

crated in a similar letter to Mob-

lzation Boards names the follow- ing courses as contributing to the prosecution of the war: Medicine. Dentistry, Engineering or Applied Science, Architecture, Agriculture, Pharmacy, Forestry, Education, Commerce, Veterinary Science. Specialized courses in Mathemat- ics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology. or Geology, or courses which en- able students to prepare and qual- ify for specialized courses in Math- ematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biol- ogy or Geology.

Male students in any other course will be considered to be pursuing a course essential to the national interest provided that they are in the upper half of all the students enrolled ln the same academic year of the course as determined by U"? final examinations for the session.
