L IB R A R Y N O TES K arl M uller presented the library w ith th ree scout hooks last week. H e had enjoyed them and w anted others to have th e sam e pleasure. I t was certain ly a nice way of show ing his appreciation of our library. A n o th er young reader, G eorge Tiiom is, who in ly be found at th e library alm ost every ev en in g , bought a S unday paper and carefully preserved it for th e read ing table. Such th o u g h t on the part o f these tw o boys show s a fine sp irit. T h e lib rary is well patronized these afternoons and evenings. M any happy girls and boys g ath er around th e tables, som e looking up references for their school w ork, o th ers sp e n d in g a pleasant hour w ith a favorite book or m agazine. T h u s splendid habits are being form ed. Y. M. A N D Y. W . C. A. N O TES Rev. W . J L arge, P resb y terian S unday School M issionary for O regon, was a visitor at Chem aw a on S unday. H e was especially interested in our two T eacher T ra in in g Classes and the th o ro u g h w ork they are do in g . On W ednesday evening th e I. T C. boys folded up the chairs in the “ Y ” room and enjoyed an hour of noise, and hilarious gam es. If you doubt the good tim e they had, ask any one of the sixty sm all boys who were present. A t th e last m eeting of the C lim bers’ C lub, Roderick H ill was elected president; Jesse M organ, vice-presi dent; John L ong, secretary; Jo h n E delm an, treasurer; “ C h ig n ic” Lowell, yell leader; and G uy and W allace Scott, sergeants-at- arm s. These boys will hold office d u rin g th e rem ainder of the school year. T h e Y . W . C. A. en tertained the Y. M. C. A . at a very d elig h tfu l party last T h u rsd ay evening. C on versational stu n ts and a w ell-prepared program p ro vided e n te rta in m e n t for the evening. D elicious re fresh m ents were served by the Y. W . girls. T h e Y. W . C. A . had one of th e best discussion m eetings of the year, last S unday, developed on the topic of “ H a b it.” All the girls on the program gave excellent, w ell-prepared talk s. T h e Y. M. C. A. discussed th e sam e topic on S unday evening, and th e boys m ade excellent cam pus application of it. Roy C ourville sang a very pleasing solo, and John D exter played th e Slavonic C radle Song very beautifully on his violin. U. OF O. F R O S H D E F E A T E D O ur varsity p u t th e skids u n d er the U . of O . fre sh men here last F rid ay night and defeated them 28 to 25 in th e snappiest and hardest fought gam e seen here this season. S tellar passing and better checking, coupled w ith th e fight-to-the-finish spirit and th e grim d e te rm in a tion to hang on to the end, we dare say, was w hat won th e gam e. T h ere was no real star on th e varsity, yet every m an was a sh in in g lig h t in his position and those who seemed to go groggy early in the previous gam e stood the grind to th e end. G eorge and B uchert were our high point m en, w ith tw elve and ten points respectively, w hile P hin n ey and DePoe annexed tw o apiece. A braham has played a good defensive gam e all season and th is one was no exception. H e held his man to two baskets and tim e after tim e in tercepted Frosh passes. Ju st a week previous our team lost to the freshm en by a large score at E u g en e and came hom e mum as the old tow n clock, but determ ined they w ould tu rn th e tables in the gam e here. E very man w ent into the gam e w ith a determ ined sp irit and resolved never to “ q u it.” T h ey played, and played it fair, and won. B A S K E T B A L L NOTES Several of our hoopers took the o p p o rtu n ity to drive over to M ount A ngel last week to see the college team in action and cam e home fully realizing th at they will be step p ing into fast com pany when they m eet M ount Angel th is S a tu rd a y . S atu rday afternoon the varsity will meet the stro n g M ount A ngel College team at M ount A ngel. T h is will be the first basketball gam e in w hich the two in s titu tio n s have m et for several seasons and it will mean an other feather in our hat if we win the gam e, as the collegians have won from all com ers so far th is season. O ur team played well last F riday against the U. of O. freshm en, yet there is m uch room for im prove m ent and m uch stress wiil be laid on the passing and bask etshooting this week in preparation for the M ount A ngel gam e. T h e slow passing anil nervous ness in shooting w hich was m uch in evidence in our last gam e will have to be overcom e if we expect to win from th e collegians.
