K£e£aBQSni£ r j The Nicol Cup S the constant aim of Athletic Director .Nicol is toward the betterment of Purdue athletics, he has taken a great interest in the development of the thinly clad artists. Until recently there was a waning interest among the track athletes in the fall, when cross in try running was introduced. Coach Nicol inaugurated a scheme of inducing cross country runners to greater ambition. In 1911 began the awarding of the Nicol Cup to the winner in the annual run. The trophy is a handsome silver loving cup. with blossom wreaths encircling the top and bottom. The names of the awarder and winner are engraved between the wreaths. A circular ebony base supports the stem. R. E. Schmedel, winner of this year ' s cup, is a senior in the School of Chemical Engineering. He hails from Indianapolis Manual Training High School. He was one of the phenoms of the track team last year. Although the weather was very disagreeable and the roads in an arduous condition, Schmedel won the race easily. With his mind set on breaking the previous record, he succeeded in lowering the record of J. L. Roberts. ' 13, about two seconds. Schmedel ' s record was 22 minutes S 1-5 seconds, as against 22 minutes 10 seconds, the record set the preceding year. The course is four and one-half miles in length, starting at the gym., running south to State street, west on State to the first road, north to the first road, then east to the Morehouse gravel, coming in on Northwestern avenue, entering Stuart Field at the northwest gate, then down the cinder track, finishing in front of the grand stand.

Cross Country ■ . .1 :i ROSS country running lias been on the incline at Purdue for several years. Each succeeding team develops greater efficiency. This year ' s team was no excep- tion to thn rule Under the leadership of Captain Brown an 1 the able coaching of Dr. Clow a strong aggregation was turned out to represent Purdue in the annual Conference meet Cross country running was primarily introduced to give track aspirants a p in the fall. Many promising conti -rant- have been cross c ltry team to till vacancies on the track team. Each war there are at least threi runs held— first the N ' icol Cup race, then the ' Varsity tryout for the Conference run This year a preliminary contest before the N ' icol Cup race was held between two divisions of the squad This was done to add interest and furnish an incentive to the i ompetitors, The Nieol Cup race was held this year on November 9th, the finish being made just before the Rose Poly football game. R. E. Schmedel was the easj winner ol this in the r ird time of 22 minutes S 1-. ' . seconds, even though the road was in a poor condition and the weather very dis- agreeabh Spra .-it the pace and would probablj have won the race had he urn I n attacked In cramps. The entire field of contestants was well bunched, math all finishing under .4 minutes. The first thirteen men came in in the following order: Schmedel, 14; F Campbell, IT: Laporte, ' 15; Wiegand, ' IT. Pomeroy, ' 14; V. Campbell. ' 1C: Spangler, ' 15; Walden- maier, 17; Tuttle, ' 15; Spray, ' 14: Brown. ' 14: Teter, ' 1G, ani Spear. ' 17. The winn r receives a black sweater with the sold CCC monogram, while second and third m n received a jersey and cap, respectively, with the monogram on them. The trial race for the determining of representatives in the Con- ference run was held on November 20th, a tew days prior to the run at Columbus on the 22nd. A well balanced team, composed of Brown. Schmedel, Spray, Laporte, Pomeroy and Campbell was selected. On the day of the race at Columbus a large field of fast contestants lined up before the starters. The weather conditions were ideal, but the rents. ' w.t- a little rough and somewhat confusing to the runners. Wis- consin runners kept well bunched and won the race with the least num- ber of points chalked up against them. Watson, of Minnesota, was the first man to cross the tape, lowering the Conference record to 26:45. Mason, of Illinois, finished second. 10 seconds behind the first man. The teams finished in the following order: Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio State, Ames. Purdue. .Minnesota. Indiana. Northwestern. Denison. Chicago and Iowa Tli Boilermakers ' representatives were an evenly matched sextette, all finishing within ten places of each other. Fifth place is no bad show- ing for a young, inexperienced team, and Dr. Clow deserves much credit for his efficient coaching. An even better team may be expected next fall. s : gM» i a Bill Donham — I ' ll say she feels it.

J R. o LJ II ' C I b p ,i s ■ m Purdue Summer School for Teachers is with pleasure that we note the added interest anil increased attendance at the Purdue Summer School, held June II to July 19, 1913. Hardly had the regular students left the campus before some 225 were enrolled in the second term ' s work of this school for teachers, This work of this term was even more successful than that of the summer previous. It is the purpose of this school to give instruction along the technical lines of manual training, domestic ' science and agri- culture, for the successful supplying of competent teachers for the voca- tional education law, which went into effect for the schools of this State last year. Although the term is of but five weeks ' duration, much prac- tical knowledge and instruction is given The student body was comprised mainly of teachers representing all branch, s of the school system of tic State: they came from the science departments of the best city schools and from the grade and high schools of the smaller towns and from the consolidated schools of the rural com- munities. Sixty-one counties were represented, giving a rather widespread representation for the State. Many college graduates were also enrolled, so that, on the whole, another added impetus was given the industrial and vocational training of teachers for Indiana. Excellent spirit was shown by the Summer School students, in spite of the shortness of their stay on the campus. The baseball team played some exciting games with the Experiment Station team on Stuart Field. Lecturers of note were here and their talks were well received. Several social functions added pleasure to the term ' s work. A weekly news bul- letin was published by the students. Greater plans are being made for the success of the term this summer and present indications show that the course will be well attended. EHZ | 3 t F» U r .,P J E XJ N I V ER.SITY
