Manager 177-J News and Editorial Rooms 655 PHONES Editor 841 Businesss Offioe 1200 NEWS WITH A SET VALUE. Did you ever stop to consider that all of the news in a news paper is not confined to that matter which is set in body type, led off by a conventional headline and bordered by the customary column rule? Did it ever occur to you that there was news, per haps more pertinent to you and your immediate needs than that bearing the label of editorial approval, in those spaces surround ed by a black rule, or a fancy border—in the advertisements? There are two sides to the life of every man and woman and and two corresponding qualities constituting the make-up of normal human beings—the cultural and the practical. Likewise there are two sides to the newspaper, for its very life depends upon its ability to function to people and their instincts. It can not, of course, be said that the news columns of the paper cater only to the cultural qualifies of its readers. The busy man reads the news not only that he may be well informed as to the every day occurances for the personal satisfaction it gives him, but he digests the contents of the news columns with the idea of mak ing practical use of the information thus gained. Thus it is with the college student. He sk\ms the sum total of the news con tained in his paper, but carefully assimilates the details of that news story that has a bearing upon him and his immediate needs, or desires. But the average newspaper reader, and the college student is no exception, does not carry his plan of reading the news to its logical conclusion. He cries for practical, timely news of which he can make immediate and practical use. He studies the mar ket reports, or, in the case of the college student, the opportuni ties to make “spare change” during odd moments. And right there before them is the most practical information they could ask. News that will save them time, money and worry. In one sense the well written advertisement is the truest news story in the whole paper. It tells the “who, where, why, when and how” in a simple straightforward manner that leaves no doubt in your mind and on a single point. Perhaps you are one of those who look upon the advertisements as an intrusion upon the reader, necessary, but nevertheless an intrusion. If you do feel that way, just run through each of the ads in this issue of the Emerald carefully, take mental stock of the news they con tain. The rest of the experiment will work itself out. It won’t be many days before you have need for some article you have seen advertised and the normal reaction will be to connect the article, the name of the dealer and the price. The result is equal ly obvious; you get a quality article at a fair price with a mini mum amount of trouble; the dealer makes his sale and adds you to his list of customers; the newspaper justifies itself as a sell ing medium and thereby increases its power to be of service to you. It has been said that it is a poor proposition that won’t work both ways—well, here’s one that works three ways and with benefit to all. Try it. «*«» PIT IP Tfl MEETIIG (Continued from page one) for the following (’Diversity men who died in the service: l>«le Melrose, e\ '18, member of (the HOlst ambulance » corps, who died last fall of pneumonia nt Camp Lewis; Irwin Brooks, ’ll!, who died of pneumonia l«S( November at San Antonio, Texas; James Gurney, ex ’HI, • lost in the repent Tuscnnia disaster, am! • Frederick Kingsbury, ex *20. who died at Brooklyn navy yards last month as ; the result of pneumonia. „ ltay Couch, head of the senior me morial eo m ui It tee, will report on seuior • memorial plans.

C. in the annual matches held Saturday night in the University gymna sium. For Oregon, George Taylor won over McLean at 165; Dwight Wilson de feated Buttervitch at 135, and Bruce Flegal won a decision over Palmer at 115. O. A. C. won in the match between Howard, of Oregon, and Strome, of O. A. C. in the 143-pound class and Hill, of Oregon, lost to Cummins, of 0. A. C., at 125. The victory of the Oregon mat men gives the three teams in the Northwest conference an even break, O. A. C. hav ing previously defeated Washington and Washington having won over Oregon. Taylor Wins Decision. Chief interest centered around the bard-fought match between Taylor and McLean, heavyweights. The first round went to Taylor, the second to McLean, both awarded for downs. The third round was' the final event on the program and was to decide the meet as both teams at that time had two bouts to their credit. When the decision went to Taylor the Oregon fans rushed in a mob to congrat ulate him and he was carried from the floor. Conch Shockley, who gave up his au tomobile business in Wasco and came back to Oregon to work with the wrest ling sound without charge, because of his loyalty to the University and his faith in the Oregon hoys on the mat, came in for hundreds of expressions of appre ciation and congratulations from the fans at this time. “Shockley Said It-” Shockley had said that Oregon would defeat O. A. C. despite the fact that O. A. C. had defeated Washington, a team that won over the Oregon boys. And the students that crowded in triumph around Shockley said: “Shockley said it-” Shockley was instructor in gymnasium work and swimming as well as coach of wrestling for several seasons past, but resigned last fall to go into business at Wasco, Oregon. Now that the match is won, he will return and resume his work in eastern Oregon. Wilson and Taylor hud previously won their letters in the Washington meet, so Flegal was the only new letter man cre ated out of the Saturday night contests. The first two rounds of his match were draws. In the third, Flegal came out strong, working so much skin off Pal mer's back and skidding his face across the mat with such enthusiasm that there was no doubt about his right to a de cision. Oregon supporters seemed to ap preciate fully Flegal's work—O. A. 0. had complained about some decisions made by Beferee Burden, and Oregon was up on ear and looking for blood. Wilson Shows Hard Fight. The Wilson-Buttervitch contest went to the third rouud also and was perhaps the hardest fought event on the card. Wilson took the first round hut was thrown from the mat against a board seat out in the audience in the second round, lie hit on his head and, although he continued with much gameness, was unable to come back for a sufficient showing to wm the round and it went to a draw. The third rouud also went to a draw, Wilson winning the event on his first round decision. Howard, a now man on the Oregon sound, lost to Captain Strome in two straight rounds. Despite the fact that it was his first intercollegiate contest How ard showed lots of fight and ability, only the experience of his opponent forcing Howard to a position underneath. Claude Hill lost in two fast, hard rounds with Cummins, an older ami more experienced wrestler. Hill sustained a sprained shoulder in the second round and hud to be carried off the mat. It is thought possible that one of his ribs was broken and au X-ray may be neces sary. Dwight Wilson has been chosen cap tain of the squad for next year. The meet with O. A. C. ends this season ou the mat. NO SPRING FOOTBALL AT U. OF C. Success of Practice Doubtful. Says Coach Smith; Plan Not Practical.

Chances brightened greatly yesterday afternoon when “Pod” Maison, Varsity third baseman for the past two years, turned out in uniform for the first time this season. Maison is enlisted in the aviation corps, and may be called at any time, but until he is called, will hold down his position at third. Bill .Steers and Dwight Wilson also answered the call yesterday for the first time this year. The former is trying for an out- ■ field berth, and the latter for the pitch ing staff. Dunton's Case Not Serious. "Ted" Dunton, who has been doing the majority of the receiving thus far this year, is laid up with neuralgia, and ! may be confined to his bed for a few j days. However, the case is not serious. , _ and hope is held out by Captain Sheehy that he will be back at his post before the end of the week. The practice yesterday consisted of bunting practice and infield workouts for the Varsity and freshman infielders. The two teams worked out in the drill shed beside the gymnasium. At least two men are out for each infield position ex cept shortstop, so a groat deal of com petition is being shown by the candi dates. Walker Is Coach. The game March 30 will be played on the Vaughn street grounds. This will be the first «wuio to be played by the shipyard aggregation, so the Varsity will have the advantage in that par ticular. However, the city league of Portland has an exceptional amount of material lined up this season, and will undoubtedly have some very fast teams, so a hard battle is expected. Coach Dean Walker is supervising the ; , work of both the Varsity and freshman * teams, and is being aided by the letter men in the different positions.
