First a man m khaki would emerge behind n cloud of dust and sweep the porch and steps; return to the house with the broom an'! come out brushing his new uniform vigorously. Soon afterwards out would come another dust chaser all dressed up in his new sailor suit, and re peat the performance, especially the uni form brushing. Apparently there was neither system nor discipline in their self-imposed task, for not less than six different fellows tried their hands at sweeping off the porch and steps of what now must be quite the most and cleanest swept porch in all of Eugene.

The Thanksgiving holidays have given the players a respite from practice not altogether necessary, considering the small amount of time heretofore allotted them for practice. However, Coach Riley has a week’s campaign of strenuous work outlined that will whip the men into shape.

Dhoue 2DS-X Opal Whiteley Writes Nature Book Student’s Work for Children Wins Praise of Noted Scien tists; Author to Return to Oregon Opal Whiteley, a sophomore at the University last year, who has been in California since March, hae written a na ture book for children, “Fairyland Around Us,” which will be off the press in January. In this, her first book, she brings in her characteristic imaginative style the message from nature’s fairy world direct to children everywhere. Miss Whiteley, who is at present in Los Angeles, [dans to return to the University in January to continue her studies here. She will major, ns before, in geology and will take work also in other sciences. • This young nature student, for Opal is only tw< nty, has financed her book by her own efforts and has been her own publisher and circulator. The book con tains '500 pages, with 498 illustrations, 316 of them in natural colors. David Starr Jordan and Charles Flet cher Lummis, scientist, explorer, and au thor of books and poems on nature, have written the forewords for the book, in which they endorse enthusiastically the work of this young nature student. In speaking of the “Fairyland Around Us,” Mr. Lummis says: “I think there is nothing like it. in the English language; and that even the beautiful French books for the sumo purpose are not so helpful. It is very real, and very inspiring. It springs from a genuine love and under standing, and it is fortified by conscien tious and thorough study. “Miss Whiteley has kept the child’s point of view of nature—which means the poet’s poiut of view. I don’t see how she can fail to interest any wholesome child in the little Next-door Neighbors. It is a book of lasting value and charm in the education of the young genera tion.” “It is an effort to give our boys and girls a right start in the joys of life.” says Dr. Jordan in his foreword. "It opens their eves to the charms and glor ies shown all around them. It draws them toward a sympathy with the problems of life which beset every man and beast and bird among us and which co.e way cc r.a •ther we are called on to solve. It swells the stock of these youthful enthusiasms which so long as they last keep the heart young and make life the better worth living.” Miss Whiteley understands children, their needs, their principal interests, their joys and sorrows, and she has an infinite sympathy in seeing what is go ing on in their young minds. .She never tires of teaching them the beauties of God's great out-of-doors. She herself is still a child in many ways and when she stands among her pupils, she looks thor oughly at home. Everywhere she radi ates joy and this buoyancy in her dispo sition has occasioned her name of “Sun shine Fairy,” by which she is known to children and their parents in small and large towns on the coast. She presents the nature world ns a de lightful fairyland of wonders; into this realm she leads the child, guiding him to a real understanding of life in nature and a feeling for the beautiful in the blade of grass as well as in the song of the bird. “The boys and girls will learn through their nature work to discover the real joys of "life, to love the birds and flowers as their friends, she often says. “They will acquire also accuracy through close observation and will gain exact informa tion on which will he of great use to them later. The deep and growing interest in the out-of-doors will ever be a source of joy to them. They will he helpful, too, in finding answers to their how and why questions.” Miss Whiteley has spent the summer iu Los Angeles working on her book, j She also had a class of children on the | beach near Venice, whom she taught about shells. Her next book, she has written Dr. Smith, will bo “The Fairies of the Sea.” She has been gathering ma terial for this book this summer.

Girls arc urged to turn out for practice especially on Monday night when the representatior has been very small. Word has been received on the campus that the women at O. A.
