K arl M uller presented the library w ith th ree scout

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

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.

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.
