o WILL PICK MIT MEN FDR MEET AT U. OF W. oach Shockley Will Hold Try Outs Monday—Five to Go to Seattle Friday. Wrestlers Said to Have Fair Chance to Win Despite Short Training-. The wrestling tryout will be held next Monday, at which time Coach Ed Shock ley will pick the five men to represent Oregon against the T'niversity of Wash ington next Friday night at Seattle. "Chuck” Pundore. who is, at present in Portland taking the aviation examina tion, is expected back either tomorrow or Mond ay morning, and will try to place at 135 pounds. Dwight Wilson. How ard. and Pundore. are all trying for the team at 135 pounds. Contest for Positions. Simola and Flegal are the candidates for the position at 115 pounds. Hill is the only man out at 135 pounds, while George Taylor is the only one trying for a place at 1*15. Laraway and Grey are the contestants for places at 148 pounds. Only one man of each weight will be taken on the northern trip, and some fine match es are to be expected Monday evening. “The men are coming alone in good shape.” said Coach Shockley yesterriaj. but they have not had enough work to be in really good trim. Most of the fellows have been doing little or nothiug to get into condition for a meet that will be as hard as the Washington one promises to be. I hope, however, that we will b> able to take a majority of the events and I really think that there is a chance of us doing it.” Work-out Good. Even the dance being given in another part of the gymnasium did not serve to cause a day off in the wrestling camp. All during the afternoon the men worked to the strains of the girls’ band. The music seemed to agree with the prac tice. as one of the best work-outs of the week was held. The team will leave Eugene next Thursday, and will wrestle the nex day. No word has beeu received as to whether the meet will take place in the evening or afternoon. Conch Shockley, who returned to school from his auto mobile business in Wasco to get the men in shape for the meet, will go north with the team.

STUDENTS TOLD IT’S NO FUN TO CENSOR LETTERS AT FRONT Work as Future Platoon Heads Described by Leader—Tolls of One Who Lift ed Sadness Writing “Thrilling Deeds” for Six Sweethearts. “One of the things that will fall upon ! you when you are in command of a platoon is the censoring of the mail." Colonel John Leader told the military science class Or id ay afternoon. "In some cases," said Colonel Leader, "it will be very interesting to see alt the heroic things that your men write that they have done. I remember oue man that wrote faithfully every day to six different girls, to all of whom he ap peared to be engaged. He would write with great fluency of his mad dashes and thrilling captures. That part breaks the monotony of the trench life, but when some poor fellow is writing home to his wife and babies, and you know the condition that they are in. and the small chance he has of going back, it is a hard job. On the whole, I can say that you won't enjoy the job.” Colonel Leader warned the class to always be on the lookout for gas, and the minute they take conuuaud of their unit, the gas gongs out by the sentries post should be looked after. Gas is usually coming from the Boches' trench es, and it is a good plan to put a small weather vane so that each change of wind can be detected. The snipers and the ■ snipers’ posts were another thing taken up in the lec ture. Several places were warned against, and places like ruined houses and large trees were shown to be ideal locations for the sniper to hide and watch for a shot. "The sniper should never shoot unless he has a good shot, because the second he is discovered his career is over, so there is no use helping Fritz to discover your position,” said Colonel Leader, "The sniper should change his position often, and he must never get into a place where a reasonably quick retreat is not pos sible.” The colonel then explained what should be done when your allotted time in the first trench was over and you were sent back to a rest trench. The first thing ufnm arrival the platoon leader should see that every one of his men have a hot bath and a complete change of clothing. During the stay in the rest camp the men should not be idle, because this gives them a chance to become blue and homesick. Two hours every day should be given over for drill. Once every day there should be an inspection, and the complete equipment of every man carefully in spected. Another point brought out by Colonel Leader had to do with the machine gun that is allotted to the platoon. This is one of the most important things that the lieutenant has to look out for. It takes trained men to do effective work with the gun, and besides it is very delicate, and it is necessary to give it much care. Colonel Leader closed the lecture with explaining some of the positions from which a machine gun can do the great est amount of damage. A. R. SWEETSER TALKS ON BIBLE OF NATURE Great Discoverers and Their Works Ex plained in Illustrated Lecture Wednesday. The great discoveries in the field of nature as Galileo Newton and Coperni- j cus, and their works, were shown and j explained in an illustrated lecture on 1 ‘•Prophets and Scribes of the Natural I Bible” by Professor A. R. Sweetser, j Professor of Botany, at the Y. W. C. j A. Bungalow at 4 P. M. Wednesday. This was the third of a series of six lec tures by Professor Sweetser. “The oldest, surest, truest Bible is the Bible of Nature,” he said. “In my tatk on the Bible of revelation I told how it had been copied and re-copied by peo ple of different ages and with different religious views and how they could in terpret it according to their understand ings of its meaning. However no one was ever able to duplicate the wonders of- the earth and the stars of heaven— that is the Bible of Nature.” Professor Sweetser told how when Capernieus got the idea that the earth moved around the sun that it was con sidered as a heresy because the Bible says, “The sun sets on good and bad alike,” therefore they thought the earth couldn’t move around the sun. Later on Galileo was tried for holding the same theory. After telling of the works of Newton, Hugh Miller, Henry Drummond, Louis Pasteur and Kepler, he came to Charles Darwin, whom he said many people thought should have horns and hoofs, to show himself as he really was. “Just think,” said Professor Rweet ser, “after twenty years of labor he had the temerity to express the idea that he believed that man had evolved from some Tower form of life. He said nothing about him coming from mon keys.” The next lecture will be given at the Bungalow on Wednesday at 4 o’clock on “The First Chapter of Genesis Accord ing to Revelation and Nature.” CUPID NABS TWO MORE STUDENTS Irving Fox and Edyl Fraasch Married Last Week in Portland.

ERNEST NAIL IS BACK ON CAMPUS Former Member of 1918 Class to Try ' Again for Aviation Service. Ernest Nail, a former member of the class of 1918, who withdfew from col lege last year to enter the aviation service, came to Eugene yesterday from his home in Klamath Falls, to spend a few days visiting with University friends. He failed to pass the physical examination for entrance to the avia tion corps, on account of a siege of sick ness, which attacked him shortly before he took his exam. Later he was con fined to his bed for a period of over two months with typhoid pneumonia, from which he has just recovered. He expects to make another try at the serv ice soon.

A check for $178,500 has been receiv ed by the University of California from the estate of the late E. V. Cowell, pres ident of the TIenry Cowell Lime and Ce ment company. Cowell in his will left $750,000 to the University, but a dispute has since arisen over the interpretation of the law which makes a bequest to any institution amounting to more than one third of the value of an estate illegal. Cowell's gift amounted to one-half of his estate and the court decision on the point is now pending. Williams College, Massachusetts, has disbanded its Bwimming team for this year, because not enough unfrozen water can be had at one time to afford a re spectable-sized pool and Fuel Adminis trator Garfield will not allow the pur chase of sufficient coal to keep the water swimmnble. Sigma Chi and Kappa Sigma held an exchange dinner on Wednesday evening of this week. All upperclass and sopho more members of the two organizations dined at the Kappa Sigma house, while the fresh: sn of the two groups were served at the Sigma Chi house. Films Not to Be Shown for Amusement: for Benefits and Educational Purposes Only. Apparatus Is Best and Latest on Market Says Head of Physics Department. The new and up-to-date motion picture j machine recently purchased by the Uui versit.v. was installed in Villard Hall last week. The University has long needed such a machine, for many times there are films which the students should see, and which the down town theatres do not carg to run. “We do not expect to be the competitors of the down town thea tres,” emphasized I)r. W. P. Boynton, of the physics department, through which the machine was ordered, “for there will he no programs for money put on regularly. Most of the films which will he put on will either be for benefits programs or for educational purposes, with no charges.” It will be used very often at assemblies, but there will be no amusement side to the films shown, and they will be things purely worth while. To Have Trial Runs. Although the plans are not entirely ’ complete, the extension department , wants to have trial runs of all their films, which they will later send out through the state. It is planned to have a number of these sessions sched uled and thrown open to the public. The machine installed is a Powers Cameragraph, model No. (IB, the best and latest in the theatres, and is the same as used down town. The machine provides for the running through of 2000 feet of film at one time. It is tlie standard machine, nnd motor driven. The physics department will have direct charge of the running and up-keep of the machine, Mr. C. N. Patterson being the overseer and operator. Havo Best on Market. As to the cost, Dr. Boynton said. “We could have obtained cheaper ma chines, but in choosing this one, we have the best that there is on the market today.” The price of the machine was $:!75, and it was ordered from the Serv ice Film & Supply company, of Port land. There is included a fireproof, booth, so arranged that in case of fire, the windows will automatically close. Besides the initial cost of the inn chine, there was considerable expense in the re-wiring of Villard Hall. Hitherto the janitor has always had to go up forward to one of the faculty members’ offices to turn on the lights for the main hall. The movie machine has been placed on a different circuit at the power house than that which the overhead lights are on. A master switch lias been installed, and the operator can turn ou the lights in the main hall ns he pleases. The new machine was used for the first time last Friday night, at the Alaska Blneklock lecture, under the aus pices of the Young Women’s Christian Association, and ran very nicely.
