SIGMA NUS TAKE FIRST
GAME IN FRAT LEAGUE
WIN FROM BEAVERS BY
SCORE OF FOURTEEN
TO FOUR
Game Full of Fun and Sensation
Witnessed by Big Crowd and
Attracts Much Attention.
In a game filled with more or less
sensational baseball, Tuesday afternoon,
the Sigma Nu pennant chasers of the
Doughnut League, smothered the Beav
er colony by the score of 14 to 4. Bob
Kellogg, the big Sigma Nu twirler, scat
tered hits, and struck out eleven bats
men. For the Beavers, Dolly Gray pitch
ed a steady up hill game, and with more
consistent support the result of the game
would have been questionable.
By timely hitting coupled with un
fortunate “bungles” on the part of the
opposing team, the Sigma Nu sluggers
piled up six runs in the first inning and
live in the eighth.
Aside from these two innings the
game was well played. The batting and
base running of Huston was a feature.
In the eighth inning Ersel Kay drove a
long fly into center field, and complet
ed the circuit of the liases for the only
home run of the game. For the Beav
ers Shattuck and Henkle played the best
ball.
The official score follows;

PROF. ALDERMAN STARTS
NEW BOOST MOVEMENT
A unique and far reaching movement,
consisting of student committees to
do personal work in every county in the
Alderman, of the Education Department.
Plans were outlined yesterday, and Pres
ident Williams of the Associated Stu
dents, has appointed committee chair
men to meet for organization of their
work tomorrow at four o'clock in Deady
Hall.
One committee chairman from each
county will have charge of several stu
dent workers—one or more from each
high school—whose business it will be
to keep in touch with the high school
students and especially the graduating
class. The aim is to keep the prepara
tory schools interested in carrying on
their education, in the State University,
and if possible to induce them to enroll
here next year.
Professor Alderman has become wide
ly acquainted with the work of the
high schools and his experience has
convinced him of the need and value
of such a system, not only as an aid
to the growth of the University but
as a stimulating influence among high
school students.
ANNUAL INDOOR MEET
SEI FOR NEXT WEEK
NEW GYMNASIUM TRACK
TO BE USED FOR FIRST
TIME
Sufficient apparatus has been installed
in the new gymnasium to allow the hold
ing of the annual, inter-class, indoor
meet, which Bill Hayward announces
will he pulled off on April 5. All the
different weights from the 115 pound
pygmies to giants of Fat Bailey’s class
will he matched in wrestling bouts.
All the dashes from the 25 yard to the
1000 yard run will be pulled off to
gether with the high jump, pole vault
and shot put. For a preliminary Hay
ward has matched Fat Bailey 13 aginst
Slim Bailey ’12. This bout will not
only decide the championship between
slim and fat men but will be enriched
by the deadly class hatred involved. In
the 115 pound class Washburne will
wrestle.
Kelly in the 125 pound class will re
present the Sophomores against Houston
'12. and in the 145 pound class Huggins
'12 will meet Murphy ’13. Olson and

Quing will wrestle for the champion
ship of China.
Invitations are out for two receptions
this week, one at the Chi Omega house
on Saturday evening, the other at the
Boys’ Dormitory on Friday.
A brewery where real beer will be
manufactured is to be installed on the
agricultural farm at the University of
Minnesota.
STUDENTS ARE PLEASED
WITH DR. HUGH BLACK
GOOD ADVICE GIVEN IN AS
SEMBLY ADDRESS THIS
MORNING
“What to Read and How to Read
It” Explained by Noted East
ern Lecturer.
On the subject, “What to Read and
How to Read It, ’ Ur. Hugh Black, the
noted author and lecturer, this morning
delivered one of the best and most ap
preciated speeches presented at Assem
bly this year. His talk was fill of pithy
sayings, forceful summaries and good
advice.
"Reading." said the speaker, "is one
of the neglected arts. Many a student
who has learned the hard and difficult
are of studying has not learned the easy
art of reading.” He quoted Lamb's
saying, "There are books and books
that are not bokos,” and included among
those which are "not books” dictionaries,
text books and “block headed encyclo
pedias.”
"Proof,” be said, “Unu most students
do not learn how to read is found in
the fact that alumni as well as students
have no time to read.”
“The great problem,” continued the
speaker, "is where to begin and where
to end. And the first thing to learn in
solving this problem is what not to
read. The lirst principle of selection is
the principle of rejection. You must
learn to overcome the temptation to
keep up with the latest novels. The art
of omission is the great art of life. You
must make up your mind that you are
not required to read the six best sel
lers.”
In speaking of newspapers, Dr. Black
said that they should be read to a cer
tain extent. “History,” he asserted, "is
making in our own time as well as in
the past.” To read the papers through
from beginning to end, however, is, in
his opinion, no more real economy than
to save the strings from our grocers.
“Literature is only the application of
life,” he said, “and it takes a great deal
of life to make a little literature.”
He took, as the nucleus of his advice,
on the selection of books, the three rules
of Emerson: (1) “Read only the old
books,” (2) “Read only famous books,”
(3) “Read what you like.” In explana
tion of the first rule he said: “This
world has a remarkable way of bury
ing the dead—of disposing of its rub
bish and sifting out its jewels. Where
are last year’s six best sellers? If a
book is old and still lives there is some
thing in it. Still to pay no attention to
present art is to kill art.”
On the second rule, he said, we must
have an attitude of passivxe reception to
get the most from an author. “It is,”
he says, “ a matter of absorbing the at
mosphere of a book.” To reflect upon
what we read, to practice the art of at
tention, to look beneath the surface of
a book, and to get in touch with the au
thor and follow him to the end were
some of the things strongly urged in
this connection.

GAME SATURDAY WAS
A PITCHER’S RATTLE
Henkle Outclasses the Great
Borleske In First Game
of Year
Saturday’s baseball game between
Whitman and Oregon, which ended in
a score of four to one in Oregon’s fa
vor, was a pitcher's battle in which Hen
kel, Oregon’s southpaw, had all the best
of it. All through the game he had the
northerners at his mercy, fanning six
men and only allowing four scattered
hits.
Whitman’s one score, in the seventh,
inning, was made possible by errors on
the part of Oregon’s infielders, who for
a few moments were up in the air. Or
egon's four runs were made in the
eighth as a result of four hits, a pass
and a sacrifice. Ben Chandler and Van
Marter both accepted hard chances
which they handled in big league fash
ion, Van Marter making a running
catch of a long high fly over the first
base line that brought the crowd to its
feet.
TRACK MEN MUST GET
DOWN TO HARD WORK
Because of the unsatisfactory showing
made by some of the track athletes in
the inter-class meet last Saturday, Train
er Bil Hayward has declared strict train
ing from now on. Some time within
the next ten days the Oregon team will
participate in a meet which will be held
in the ne w armory at O. A. C. On
April 16th twelve or fourteen men will
be sent to Portland to take part in
the Columbia Indoor Meet. The num
ber of men who will represent Oregon
on the California trip has been cut
down to twelve.
ERRORLESS GAME WON
FINE SUPPORT ENABLES
HENKLE TO SHUT OUT
MISSIONARIES
Lucky Run in Seventh Inning
Keeps Locals in Leaa and
Whitman in Cellar.
With llenkle again in the box, sup
ported by outfielders, who vied with one
another in robbing the Missionaries of
well deserved hits, and by inftelders who
played in perfect form, Oregon again
outclassed Whitman by the slender score
of 1-0 Monday afternoon.
The game was full of sensational fea
tures ; several times the visitors seemed
on the verge of scoring , but always
with the whole team forming a perfect
[phalanx behind him. Oregon’s big south
paw pulled himself together and pitched
his way out of the hole. The Whit
man stickers connected with Hinkle’s
curves for nine hits but were unable
to meet them when a hit meant a win.
Not an error was recorded against the
Oregon fielders and Clarke, and Jamie
son gathered in several difficult chances.
Story of the Game
Belt for Whitman was the first man
to bat. He drove a long fly to center
field which Clarke caught. Borleske
drove a grounder to pitcher and was
out at first. Stuth struck out. Muir
land batted first for Oregon and drove
a high fly right into Cox’s hands. Mc
Kenzie followed and was out on an
infield fly which Dunbar gathered in.
Dobie fanned.
On the second inning, Johnson and
Shubert both hit fast grounders to Hen
kel and were out at first. Cox knocked a
high foul against the right field fence
which Jamieson caught out. Chandler
reached first on first baseman’s error,
stole second and was advanced
by Van Marter’s grounder to third base.
Van Marter was thrown out at first.
Jamison fanned.
The third inning opened with Felt
ham at the bat who hit a grounder to
Henkle and was out at first. Clarke
caught Perring’s fly and Dunbar retired
by the Hinkle to Jamieson route. For
Oregon, Gabrielson fanned; Henkle and
Newland both drove grounders to pit
cher and were out at first.
On the fourth inning Whitman’s bat
ters began to find Hinkle’s curves. Belt
and Borleske each hit safely but were
left on bases when Stutt, Johnson, and
Shubert went out on infield flies. Mc
Kenzie drove a grounder to Belt which
he fielded to first in plenty of time.
Dobie struck out, C larke hit safely antf
stole second. Chandler drew a pass,
but Van Marter went out at first, end
ing the chapter.
In the fifth inning, Cox gave Henkle
a chance at a hard grounder and was
out at first. Felthouse drove a hot one
to Newland, but failed to reach first.
Perring hit safely and died on first
when Dunbar was out by the Hinkle to
Jamison route, bor Oregon, Jamison
and Gabrielson fanned. Hinkle lined a
drive which second base was unable to
field, reached second on Stutt’s error
which also allowed Newland to reach
