SUBSCRIPTION RATES One year-$1.00 Single copy - ,C5 Wednesday, November 2, 1910 Washington’s Attitude Last year, after the O. A. C. game had been scheduled, Washington offered Oregon November 12, and although No vember 19 was vacant on their schedule, refused to consider any other date. A week ago, indications were that the Washington-Idaho game for November 5 was off, because of the intolerable terms Manager Zednick demanded of Idaho, briefly, his proposition) was to give Idaho fifty per cent of the net re ceipts, after the two thousand odd Washington students had been admitted free. With this fifty per cent of un guaranteed receipts, Idaho was to defray the heavy expenses of the trip from Moscow to Seattle, to which the Idaho manager quite naturally demurred. Learning of this hitch in the arrange ments, Manager Watson wired to Se attle for the date, hut has been calmly ignored, and as yet has not been vouch safed a reply. Washington's striking athletic suc cesses the past two years have evidently gone to her head, disturbing the equi librium and the mental balance which should characterize such a great college as is Washington. Impatient of her classification with the smaller confer ence universities, as Oregon, Whitman and Idaho, which she stigmatizes as “fresh water colleges,” Washington is attempting to domineer over and dic tate to her sister institutions of the Northwest. She is riding rough shod for a fall. A fall which will lie the harder because of her pretensions and ''<■•11 assumed leadership. Defeat from a despised opponent is always doubly bitter, None of us in tlu> Northwest envy Washington's recent good fortune. In the last two v cars of her pheuomc nal athletic success, we have accepted defeats without rancor. We have re joiced with her in her remarkable growth in numbers, and we have taken a neighbor!} pride in her splendid new buildings Ibit with all this success W ashington has assumed an attitude of domination, aloofness and disdain for conference rules and cotiterence colleges which hoiles til for the succe-s of the organi sation Perhaps Washington chafes un der her classification with small col leges and desires i,. disrupt the confer ence, a- her recent attitude and actions bids fair to do She should, however, reali e that by tk, torce of till natural, irrevocable conditions, u v in the North west an. her log , al . > -ciates, and she should patiently K . r with our failings, until we become her equal in size, as we sttrelv will, in the natural course of events Instead. Washington places herself above the law. bra.vide disre gards conference rules, and attempts to dictate to her neighbor- Mucklestone and 1..kins, who have Wen largely in strutim-Hti! in her “onl-all succesgn. arc ineligible Her vietorious track team of 1010 was built around Mv,,ilcv Gish, who has competed lot money, and this fall Washington has endeavored to dic tate unreasonable terms for football games to both Idaho and O. \ C Man ager Zednick refuses Oregon a date, hut the W ashington dispatches state that le will probably hold the team together h r a casual Holiday game with the Uni versity of Indiana. Great college, as it is, W ashington is surely justified in its attempt to broad en its scope, and to include in its sched jles the Middle Western and California rollcges, and as a good neighbor we will rejoice when Washington defeats In liana on the gridiron, or California on the water. Because of natural situa tion, however, Washington must find her chief sphere of activities in the Northwest, and should not adopt an overbearing attitude toward her North west neighbors. Besides, self-erected pedestals are al ways dangerous and apt to topple un expectedly. Washington can not win forever. Some of the “fresh water col leges” might defeat her to her never ending chagrin. MR. VORIES TALKS TO . M. ON WORK IN JAPAN “Planting a Y. M. C. A. in the Strong hold of Buddhism,” was the subject of an interesting address, given last night, by Mr. Win. M. Vories, of Omy, Japan, who for five years has been engaged in Y. M. C. A. work in the interior. Only a fair sized audience was present, but the elosest attention was given to Mr. Vories’ account of his thrilling ex periences in this work. Six years ago, Mr. Vories went to Japan to teach English in a government school. He was the only person of his race among eight hundred thousand people, and only one of whom was able to speak English intelligibly. Showing American pictures and teaching Ameri can games, he organized a Bible class among them. In six months, this was divided into four classes, with a total enrollment of three' hundred and twenty men. Though the Buddhist priests, with a number of students immediately began a violent opposition, often re sorting to personal violence, the mem bers of the Bible classes refused to give up their study. Mr. Vories was finally discharged from the school, but not until he had built and paid for a Y. M. C. A. building. In spite of this oppo sition, the work increased, until, at the present time, he has under him six paid secretaries, with branches of the Y. M. C. A. established in a number of the surrounding towns. The oppo sition has changed to co-operation, and he is now engaged to give a series of lectures on “Christian Ethics” in the school from which he was discharged for teaching Christianity privately a few years before. Mr. Vories has been in America sev eral months, endeavoring to raise $8,000 with which to build another building. The money is now pledged, and he will sail on Saturday for Japan. For the past four years the local association lias contributed to the work of Mr. Vories, and therefore was especially in terested.

In the main the examinations were not difficult, so they say, except the one in Algebra. The problems were long and there were many of them, and no one of the five taking the examination was able to finish it in the allotted two hours. Dean Collins, in speaking of the exam ination, said: “The problems were not so difficult as they were long. None of us came anywhere near finishing this ex amination. I figure that my highest pos sible grade in Algebra is 62 per cent.” The papers are graded at Oxford, England, and the returns are expected about the first week in December. Owl Club Meets The Owl Club held its second meet ing of this year at the Tri Delta house Tuesday evening. After a short busi ness meeting the Owls enjoyed a few informal dances. Refreshments char acteristic of the season were served in the dining room. Eighty-four per cent of the gradu ates of the University of Illinois are doing the work for which they received training.
