Smith entered Towa. State College at Ames in 1921, and studied there for three years. He set out to get a degree in chemical engineering, but in his last year began the study of economic science, as he desires now to fit him- self to enter a banking and insurance business conducted by a relative in Towa. He hopes to complete his col- lege course between base ball seasons. Smith played foot ball and basket ball as well as base ball while at Ames. He got into enough games each year as end on the grid team to get his college ‘“letter” and also carned the insignia as center on the; basket ball team.
