Tie for High Points for j
Pirates
Tlio tli ini v clnil aggregation t'nim the|
1’irato hold wort* defeated in u dual i
track meet with May lor l'ni\ersitv. !
The final count was s2 points to 30.!
It was an ideal day for n track moot, I
tlio sun whining and the wind scarcely!
blowing.
Southwestern’s defeat was due to a
lack of efficiency in the field events.
Baylor took first and second places in.
the broad jump, discus, shot put and
javelin. Wo need more weight men to j
round a well balanced team.
The Conference meet is held this yenr|
in Brownwood, May 19th iyid 20th. S. j
U. is due to give the opposing teams I
something to worry about.
Gusman Takes First.
Captain Gusman took first place in j
the furlong with the time of 2d.2. Gus-j
man won his race by a tremendous burst i
of speed in the last seventy yards. Ini
so doing he spent himself to such an ex-
tent that lie was not able to give his j
best in the quarter-mile, which is his!
specialty, Fritz of Baylor, nosing him
out in this event by running it in 53
seconds, which is much slower than Gus-
man is capable of running.
House wuis the only other Pirate to
take a first place. This was in the pole
vault. However, Gates tied with Hol-
laday of Baylor for first place i lithe
high jump with a leap of 5 feet 8 inches.
Holladay of Baylor was high point
man of the meet with seventeen points,
taking first in the broad jump and 100-
yard dash, tying for first in the high
jump, and winning second in the 220-
yard dash.
Gusman and House tied for high hon-
ors for the Pirates with eight points
each, Gusman taking first in the 220
dash and second in the quarter, and
House securing first in the pole vault
and second in the half mile.

Measure Magnetism
of Hydrogen Atom
( Kv Srience Sei vice.)
Frbaua, ill.—The l uited States vs
forging ahead in the field of atomic
phvsics where the brilliant theories of '■
the Germans and Scandinavians have
long held more or less undisputed sway.1
F'1 perimen t s recently completed here
by Drs. J. B .Taylor and T. F. Phipps
in the department of physical chemis-j
try at the University of Illinois have
produced^ results which throw a new an-;
glo on the quantum theory advamed
by Dr. Neils Bohr of Copenhagen, Nobel
prize winner in physics, and that pro-
posed by Drs. Max Bora and W. Heisen-
berg of Goettengen.
Exponents of the German school have,
developed a theory that is based on aj
non-magnet ic atom but the American
scientists have found that the hydro-1
gen atom is magnetic and have made a
direct, experimental demonstration of j
the degree of magnetism it possescs.
They found that it was equal within thcj
limits of experimental error, to one
Bohr megneto, or unit of magnetie mo-j
meat based on the Bohr quantum theory, i
The atoms of the alkali elements such;
as sodium and potassium are known to j
behave as tiny magnets and since hydro-j
gen is the simplest of all chemical ele-t
meets, knowledge of the degree of mag-
netism possessed by its atom is of great
importance. All of the accepted theo-
ries of the continental school account
for the spectrum of hydrogen accurate-
ly, in consequence of which a test of the
nature of the hydrogen atom is of great
scientific interest.

The observation of Class Day on Allj
Fools Day originated years ago when a
graduating class decided to play a joke
on the faculty by walking out. Since
then the deed has become a tradition,
and all Georgetown recognizes the day.
The class of ’27 spent the day at the
picnic grounds near Jim Hogg school
house in what was unanimously termed
a grand manner. Nothing except wood
ticks marred the fun.
The trucks, loaded with the hobo out-
fit, blew into t wn about dusk and were
cordially received at The Palace.

SENIORS! NOTICE!
Because of the great amount of
business confronting the Senior

graduating class, the Seniors have
voted to put the attendance upon
Saturday conference back under

Seniors will please take notice.
The roll will he called every Satur-
