CHALLENGED
ST. JAMES ATHLETIC CLUB
VANTS CONTEST WITH
OREGON
TOO LATE SAYS SHOCKLEY
Not Likely That Matches Can
Can Be Arranged This Spring
But Next Year Team Will
Take on Anyone Says Coach.
Coach Shockley received a chal
lenge Wednesday from J. Frederick
Meagher, captain of the St. James
Athletic Club wrestling team, of
Vancouver, Washington, asking for
a dual meet at Eugene about April
10. /
“I fear it will be impossible to
meet the St. James team at that
time; it will be too late in the sea
son,” said Shockley, yesterday. “But
another year we hope to stage meets
with all that ask them.”
The challenge is in the form of a
unique personal letter to Shockley,
which is as follows:
My Dear Mr. Shockley:
I venture to write you in regard
to a dual wrestling meet between
your squad and the St. James Ath
letic Club of Vancouver, Washing
ton, to be held in your town on, or
about the 10th of April. I presume
you could defray our car fares, two
meals and one night’s lodging, the
same terms as the O. A. C. accorded
us, and give prizes to the winners.
While the O. A. C. beat us most
shamefully, I still hug the delusion
I have a pretty good bunch of man
handlers under my wing, and am
itching for a chance to demonstrate
such is the case.
■me maae-up of our team follows:
Meagher, a deaf mute, at 118 and
125, one time second in National' A.
A. U. championships; Kelly, private
in company K, at 135; Minish, at
145; Corporal Roy Hunter, the fam
ous cowboy-cavalryman of “Let ’er
buck” fame, at 158. If you T^ant a
heavyweight class I can supply you
with a husky guy who thinks he is a
world beat r, but who can’t wrestle
much better than a two-year-old bull
pup. Minish and Hunter won at
Corvallis, the rest lost. Have no 108.
I can make 115 flat if necessary, but
as I take on two men would prefer
not having to train down so fine,
especially as I have to give so much
time to arranging the multitude of
details of getting thd boys away.
For Corvallis I got Kelly out of the
guard house after eight days’ con
finement, just four hours before we
left for the seat of war; don’t be
lieve this company commander will
accommodate us again, so we are al
ways liable to have a crimp put in
our make-up at the last moment by
one of the soldiers getting jugged.
In that case the class will be forfeit
ed to you when the bout is called.
I hear that you have a corking
good man in Fuji Maki, and it will
give me genuine pleasure to humble
the pride of the Mikado’s flowery
kingdom. Have often met represen
tatives of other countries in the past,
and never lost yet, so your crowd
will probably witness a battle royal
when the bell clangs for the onset.
We suggest we wrestle intercollegi
ate rules, best two in three six-min
ute bouts, two docisions beat one
fall, but one fall beating one decision
and a draw. The meet would have
to take place on a Saturday, as that
is the only day I can get away from
my class work.
Trusting to hear from you shortly,'
I beg to remain, %
Yours for clean sport,
J. FREDERICK MEAGHER,
^Captain St. James A. C. Wrestling
sTe&m? Vancouver.

SIX ORIGINALS OF LISZT
RECEIVED BY PROF. LYMAN
Carl V. Lachmund to Lecture on
Personal Recollections of
Musician’s Life

the late Kranz Liszt, from the collec
tion of Carl V. Lachmund, a personal
friend of the great composer, have
been received by Prof. Ralph H. Ly
man.
The pictures, six in number, have
been placed above the fireplaces in

a lecture, “Personal Recollections of
Liszt,” which will be given Monday
evening, March 23.
“Mr. Lachmund will also read ex
tracts from Liszt’s Diary for the year
1876,” said Mr. Lyman, yesterday.
“This was one of the most interest
ing years in Lisczt’s life, and we
shall have something excellent to
look forward to.”
The hour and place for the lecture
will be arranged later.

CHURCHES STANDING STILL
Real Progress Is Being Made in
Orient, Says Hounshell.
“Our American churches are
standing still, in comparison to the
rapid growth of the few churches in
the foreign fields,” said Mr. C. F.
Hounshell, travelling secretary of
Student Volunteers Association in
his talk to the Y. W. C. A. and the
Y. M. C. A. Monday afternoon in the
Bungalow. Mr. Hounshell also spoke
of the great demand for new Mis
sionaries in the Orient and Asiatic
countries and of the wonderful op
portunity for real work to he done
there. He concluded his talk with
incidents in the lives of some of the
active workers.
The Choral part of the service
was lead by Harold Humbert, a stu
dent volunteer worker on the cam
pus.

UNIVERSITY LIBRARY AIDS
OUT OF TOWN PATRONS
Newspaper Hies Supply the
Material for Important
Law Oase
Many requests for books or infor
mation upon special subjects are re
ceived by M. H. Douglass, at the Uni
versity library, from persons out-of
town.
These requests are from graduates,
High School principals, debaters,
club women, ministers, lawyers and
engineers, in all parts of the state.
Many inquiries come also from the
State Library, asking for material
which is desired by patrons.
“Comparatively few requests come
from Portland,* declared Mr. Doug
lass. “Last year, however, a Port
land lawyer wrote to us for some ma
terial which had been printed in the
Eugene Daily Guard about 15 years
ago. The information which he
gained was used in pleading one of
his cases.
“About 80 such inquiries were re
ceived by the library last year, and
there are about 4ft thus far this
year.”
ATTENDANCE AT SHORT
STORY CLASS* DOUBLES
Increase Necessitates More
Room. Most Members
Advanced.
(By Buciie Watson;
The Short Story Class, taught by
Mrs. Mable H. Parsons, which meets
from 8 till 9:30 o’clock every other
Saturday night, in room B of the
public library in Portland, has dou
bled in attendance since tlfe begin
ning of the school year.
“The majority of the members of
the class are advanced students, and
they take a great interest in their
work. Study groups, formed by
some of the students on their own
initiative, meet between sessions for
the reading, and! discussion of their
outside reading,” said Mrs. Parsons.
“On account of the increase in at
tendance, we have had to move once
from a smaller room to a larger
room, where we now are.”
THESES ARE UNPROFITABLE
Prof. Ayer Thinks Students Do Bet
ter to Put Time In on Course.
Only two undergraduate students
are writing theses for Professor
Ayer, Dean of the Education Depart
ment.
“Very few of my students write
theses; I seldom give credit for
them. I think the undergraduate
student is not well enough prepared
—it is much better to spend time on
a well-balanced and prepared dourse
of study,” said Professor Ayer.
E. Erie Lane, who has been work
ing two years on his subject, “Relig
ion and Education,” may receive two
credits. William C. Painter has
chosen for the subject of his thesis,
“School Survey.”

PUBLISHER WILL
HELP STUDENTS
TO FURNISH CAPITAL FOR
COUNTRY NEWSPAPER
Field. *
GIVE JOURNALISTS START
Department of Journalism Gets
Many Requests for Students
to Fill Positions on News
papers in the State.
An offer to furnish capital for
graduates of the Department of Jour
nalism who wish to start in the
country newspaper field has been
received by the department from
one of the most prosperous of the
publishers in. the cities of the state
outside of Portland.
The publisher wants to be placed
in touch with students who can be
recommended, and who would put
up a very small proportion of the
capital required, in order to insure
that they would “stick,” and not
leave him with a plant and no man
to run it.
The publisher’s plan includes a
period of “breaking in” in his own
plant, as preparatory experience to
entering the country field.
“I would not ordinarily advise an
inexperienced man to invest money,”
said Prof. E. W. Allen today in dis
cussing the offer, “but this plan has
some attractive features, and seems
worth investigating. It come from a
man of personal standing and good
rating, and is no fly-by-night propo
sition. In the University of Oregon
a good many students have already
had business experience before they
came here, and have enough business
sense to go into a small proposition
on their own responsibility.
“However, the difficulty so far has
not been to find places for students,
but to find students to fill the posi
tions that are offered each year. Of
course, the Department of Journal
ism is only in its second year, and no
student can yet be called a graduate,
and none has much more than a
smattering of the work offered in
the course.
Already there are six or eight for
mer students of the department
working on newspapers in Oregon
and Washington.
At a meeting of Williams students
recently the first step was taken for
the formation of a student council,
which shall deal with undergraduate
affairs. The meeting voted that a
committee of nine, appointed by the
chairman, should draw up a general
plan for such a council. This plan
the committee will submit to the
students at a later meeting.
