Mm HUY MEET MB Although Beaten by O. A. CL the Or egon Wrestlers Deserve Unstint ed Credit, Says Shockley “The men on the wrestling team are deserving of praise for the way in which they have trained and for the way they conducted themselves in the meet with the Oregon Agricul tural College,” said Shockley yester day. Two of the Oregon men, Captain Rutherford and Ex-Captain King, won tlfreir “O.” These will be the first letters granted as official recognition of wrestling, as no letters were given last year. Captain Rutherford, of the Oregon team, threw Captain Mosby, of O. A. C., in the 145-pound class. King won over Waters, of O. A. C., in the 158-pound division. In the 125-pound class Barnett, of Oregon, and Piercy, of O. A. C., wres tled three six-minute bouts before a decision was finally reached. Duffy, of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club, awarded the match to Piercy on aggressiveness. Hardman, O. A. C., won over Hargreaves, Oregon, in 115-pound match; Bolin, O. A. C., won over Schaffner in the second 125 pound match; Amort, O. A. C., won over Griffin at 135 pounds. * A movement has been started to have either the University of Wash ington or the Washington State Col lege team meet the local mat artists in the near future. Both of these teams go to Corvallis, and negotia tions are being made to see if one of these teams can be brought here. The Executive Committee, to whom the matter was suggested, referred the proposition to Graduate Manager Tiffany to find out the cost and ad visability of bringing one of the two teams here. MORRIS WILL REPRESENT OREGON AT McMINNVILLE In a recent tryout, Victor Morris was chosen to represent the Univer sity of Oregon at the State Orator ical Contest in McMinnville, March 12. Eight delegates beside the ora Tor and manager will be sent. “Two men should be elected as soon as possible from each class,” said Bert Prescott. “Their railroad fare is to be taken from the respective class treasuries. I wish to meet the rep resentatives at 4:00 o’clock Wednes day afternoon. “With the exception of last year, Oregon has always secured first or second place in this contest. We have won more orations than any other col lege in Oregon. In 1911 and 1912 first places for the University were taken by Carlton Spencer and David Pickett. In 1910 and 1913 second places were secured by Harold Rounds and Howard Zimmerman.” Two large sepia print pictures, framed, have been received by the Geology Department from the North ern Pacific Railroad Company. One is a picture of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, and the other a pic ture of Emigrant Peak and the Yel lowstone river. Mrs. William Park, wife of Rev. W.

Bungalow. ~Dr. Bertha Stuart will speak to the women students of the University on ‘Efficiency,” Tuesday evening, at the Y. W. C. A. Bungalow. TEACHERS GET CREDITS Eighty-Three Have Received Certifi cates Through Work of Uni versity Extension Division Eight hundred and fifty of the 4,000 public school teachers of Oregon have so far received outlines for teachers’ reading circle work from the Univer sity, and answers have been sent in by 83, to whom certificates have been issued, saying the required reading has been done satisfactorily. The State Superintendent of Public Instruction issued a statement last summer, saying that “any teacher who registers her certificate between the third Monday in June, 1914, and the third Monday in June, 1915, must satisfy the County Superintendent that she has read one of the following books,” a list being appended. Many County Superintendents found diffi culty in administering the law through lack of office equipment and clerical assistance. Accordingly, at a state meeting in January, the University of Oregon was asked to take over the direction of the work. This direction the University has undertaken, through the Extension Di vision, to give by furnishing out lines. The book is read with the help of the outlines, and written answers sent to the Extension Division, which issues a certificate if the answers are satisfactory. BULLETINS’ CIRCULATIONS HAVE INCREASED TEN-FOLD A committee whose purpose it is to establish the policy of the University publications has been appointed by President P. L. Campbell. The com mittee is planning first to take a sur vey of the work already done and de cide in what lines the work can be improved. Besides occasional bulletins sent out by the various professors, the regular publications are: Press Bul letin, the Extension Department Mon itor, and the University Bulletin. “The circulation of the Press Bul letin has increased from 300 to about 3,000,” said Prof. E. W. Allen. “There are about 300 newspaper publishers in the state,, each of whom receives a copy. The Monitor goes mostly to students taking Correspondence cours es.” The call for University catalogues has been so great this year that thu supply has run out and it is necessary to order more. OREGON WINS THREE SUCCESSIVE GAMES (Continued from page 1.) Second Game Bezdek’s five repeated Saturday night on the home floor by the small score of 14 to 10. The game was slow and was featured by the Aggies’ inferior play. They passed poorly, rarely got loose for a shot, and didn’t put up a good fight. The boys seemed to have their number. For the first time this season, Or egon was returned the leader in the first half, 8 to 5. U. of O. Beats W. S. C. Washington State College fell be fore the fast coming Lemon and Yel low quintet Tuesday night by the score of 29 to 23, in a game featured by brilliant basketball at times in terspersed with erratic streaks. Oregon’s team work was superb. Hlini Game Wednesday The Illinois Athletic Club swamped Oregon*s second team 40 to 8 in the first* half of the game Wednesday night, and, using the reserves, was . again credited with a 23 to 18 victory against the Freshman team in the I second half. AYER COMPLETES SURVEY OF ASHLAND SCHOOL SYSTEM A survey of the Ashland schools has been completed under the direc tion of Prof. Fred C. Ayer, of the De partment of Education. The final re port will be quite extensive. This survey was started a year ago by Superintendent Briscoe and the Ashland School Board. The purpose was to discover the actual conditions cf the school system and to devise methods for improvement. Last week Professor Ayer was as sisted by Don C. Sowers, Professor of Public Accounting, and by C. B. Frader, Superintendent of the Schools cf Everett, Washington. I The committee says that a signifi cant feature of the Ashland system as a whole is the spirit of loyalty that exists among the patrons, tne school board and the teaching staff.
