The cup la awarded each year, the possessor for the last year being Indianapolis. Indianapolis had won the cup two years in succession, and as that city took second this year. It would have se cured permanent possession of the tro phy had not the Portland association made such a good showing. The ether prizes won are a teachers steel desk table and a manual training bench. The desk Is given because a studont of the local T. M. C. A. pro duced the best mechanical drawing of any Y. M. C. A. student in the country. and the table Is for the best architec tural drawing. These are given In the men's department, and the fact that they were won here Is regarded aa showing the exceptionally high stand ard maintained by the local association.
