At 10 o'clock Wednesday morn ing, during the regular assembly hour, the students of the University of Oregon will have an opportunity to witness one of the most impres sive of Oregon’s ceremonies, held annually in honor of the men who have fought and struggled on the football field for their Alma Mater —the awarding of the football let ters to the men who have earned them. Twelve loyal Oregon students will stand up before the assembled stu dent body and will receive the re wards for which they spent hours after hours of hard work in the rain and the cold and the darkness. This ceremony takes place annu ally at Oregon in recognition of the spirit, bravery and grit that these men have displayed on the gridiron in many hard struggles against op posing teams. But it was not the games which took the “real stuff,” it was the hours put in day after day and night after night, when it was necessary to use a ball covered with white paint in order to distinguish it In the darkness. When the coach could hardly see to follow the team and when he could only be located by the swisli swash he made as he plowed around through the mud. Several short speeches in honor of the occasion, including the presenta tion by President Motschenbaeher of the student body and short speeches by President Campbell and Coach Bezdek, will be made. At this time also the Girl’s Choral Club will sing for the first time in public Oregon’s official Alma Mater song. The men who will receive their letters are: Canfield, Holden, Fen ton, Hall, Cook, Bradshaw, Beckett, Wiest, Cornell, Bryant, Malarkey and Parsons. Three of the men, Fenton, Hall and Bradshaw have chosen blankets since they are seniors and these will be presented to them later. An amendment to the constitution is to be presented also which will provide for service stripes or stars to be placed on the blankets to desig nate the number of years that the receiver has made the team. 110 OUT OF 171 STUDENTS IN MUSIC TAKE PIANO Growth of Department Cramped by Lack of Room.

"We act'd more pianos an 1 prac tice rooms. We have twelve teach ers but only five rooms for their use. This lack of accommodation has forced three of our teachers ti turn their private homes lute studios Nett iter are we aide to supply prac tice rooms for our students."

LIBRARIAN SAVES MONEY BY USING PARCEL POST Old Book Bate, However, of Eight Cents, Is Cheaper for Books Under 4 Pounds A recent ruling of the Postoffice Department, which places packages of books, weighing over four pounds, unifer the Parcel’s Post classification will prove to be of great use in the University library, according to M. H. Douglass, librarian. “It is a great saving when we are sending packages of books to nearby towns,’’ declares Mr. Douglass, “and i it will be especially useful to people ' who live out of town and borrow li brary books. “Packages, weighing under four pounds, are still subject to the old rate of eight cents per pound, or fractioii of a pound, 'while the rate for a parcels post package is nine | cents. The other day 1 sent a pack age of books to Portland. It cost me nine cents, where it would have formerly cost 32 cents. “This rule only holds, however, for nearby places, for as the distance increases, the parcels post rates are Increased1 also.” Elizabeth Freeman Fox, Y. W. C. A. Student Secretary of the North west, will arrive in Eugent this aft ernoon from her home in Seattle. U. WRESTLERS GET MORE TIME MEET WITH M. A. A. C. OFF; NO MATCH TILL FINALS MARCH 20 AND 21 EXTRA PRACTICE IS NEEDED Squad Has Little^ Experience But the 20 or 25 Men in It Are in Good Condition, Says j Instructor Shockley. Negotiations between Graduate Manager Walker and tlje Multnomah Club for a preliminary wrestling ipatch before the conference meet have fallen through. It is not prob able a match will be held before the final on March 20 and 21 at the Multnomah Club. “The Multnomah Club wanted to meet us March 7, but on account of other attractions we could not hold! the meet,” said Mr. Walker yester day. “They could not accept March 5, but could come on the 6th; the Junior dance that might, however, will prevent our meeting them. I would offer to meet them on some afternoon, but I do not think that ve could clear expenses.” The wrestling squad is in good condition, according to Coach Shock ley, who thinks that the men will make a favorable showing against the other teams in the conference meet. However, this is the first year of wrestling at Oregon and' the men have little experience. It is impos sible to tell what they will do be fore a crowd. In practice they may make good, but I have seen such men go into meets and lose out so quickly that they did not know what was happening. I believe our men will compare with the other teams. I should like to see a preliminary match scheduled. This would give them practice, which would help them. Between 20 and 2 5 men are turn ing out regularly and some good' ma terial is being developed by Shock ley. Bound volumes of the New York Times, dating from August to De cember of 1913, have been received by M. H. Douglass, at the University library. Alpha Tau Omega announced a new pledge in John Telford of Ore gon City. Forty students have enrolled in the new Department of Journalism at Boston University.
