C- A. secretary od the campus, and now with tiie army of occupation in Ger many, lias written to Dr. A. E. Caswell, of the department of physics, enclosing for the Y. M. fund, to show that his interest is still with the organization, he says. Lieutenant Foster tells of attending a service in a German church at Christ mas time- All the prayers uttered by the people, and all those printed and tacked on the walls, he said, were peti I tions to the Holy Mother to bless each I one of the parishioners, his family and bis friends and to send them all good crops and prosperity. Every one of them was selfish in the extreme and ac cording to Lieutenant Foster typified the spirit of the German people. Foster was secretary on the campus for two years and left in the spring of 1917. lie is now first lieutenant of Company C, 357th Infantry, stationed in Germany near Coblenz. lie also writes that Dame Humor has it that they will start home March first but that same lady has become such a liar these days that the boys can’t be lieve anything she says. FPFSHMAN GIRLS’ AGE 19.8 Weight Averages 119; Chest Expansion About Three Inches. Some interesting Average figures on the physical examinations given to 200 girls entering the University this fall for the first time have been compiled by Miss Harriet Thomson, instructor in the physical training department. The average age of the girls examined was 10.8 years. Their average weight was 119 pounds. The average chest expansion was three inches and the ninth rib expansion three ami one tenth inches. These fig ures show that there is a tendency among the girls to breathe more deeply. This tendency is noticeable in several of the eastern colleges, Miss Thomson said. That the young women of today are breathing more deeply is duo to tiie fact that physical exercise is becoming more popular consequently the old man ner of chest breathing is disappearing. 'I'llc» average lung capacity of the 200 girls was 174.5 cubic inches. FROSH TRIM QUINTET OF INOIANS, 71-16 __ j Manerud Scores 16 Points; Mark Latham Tosses Nine Baskets. The freshmen handed the Chemawa Indians one of the most artistic trim mings, along basketball lines, that has been seen on the local floor for several moons, when they buried the braves un der the score of 71 to 16 Saturday af ternoon. The scorckeeper was kept so busy that he was forced to appeal to the business office for an adding ma chine, but his requeui was denied as the office was busy figuring up how many hours some members of the sophomore class had to their credit. The frosh were not worried about losing the mix, they knew the result sev eral days before, and they went on the floor and proceeded to roll up a one sided score on the Indians. The frosh wasted no time getting started, but gath. ered 8'J counters in the first half, while the Chemawa quintet were gathering 6. Iu the second period Coach “Shy” Hunt ington, of the Oregon infants, sent in a crew of second string artists who just could not keep from tossing them in. The second period was more even, the score being 82 to 10. Manerud and Latham Star “Skeet” Manerud had a delightful af ternoon. When he was not converting fouls he was busy tossing field baskets, and he turned iu ft card reading 10 for the afternoon. Marc Latham, center, is, however, awarded the silver collar button for getting the big end of the day’s fruits. Latham scored 18 points on field baskets, which is a fair day’s work. It is harder to pick a star from among the frosh team than it is to find the clam in the chowder at the Osburn. If tb(> freshmen keep up the good work and do likewise unto the O. A. C. rooks ;they can live happily ever after. Chemrwa’s Team Work Poor The Indians were fairly good oa indi vidual work, but when it came to team work they were not among those pres ent. Croft, center, and Johnson, for ward, were the best five. The line-up: Freshmen (71) Veatch (12).F K. Moore (3i Manerud (16).F Bonney (10) Latham (18).C Bellars (4).G Dorenez of the Chemawa Chemawa (16) . -Kipp (8) .Johnson (2) . Croft (4) . Xuekolls V.

It was picked up by Brown, who intended to ascertain its true owner in order to return it to him. Brown put the pocketbook n his right-hand coat pocket, in his left-hand coat pocket is his own pocketbook. On returning home Brown throws the coat on a red-hot stove. The coat, both pocketbooks and their contents are burned- Smith is suing Brown for the value of the pock etbook. Th’s is the case, Smith vs. Brown, which will come up before Chief Justice Wells at the moot court Thursday even ing at 7.30 in the law library. Miles McKey will be attorney for the plaintiff, R. C. Matson attorney for the defend ant, and Lyle McCroskey clerk of the court. The following case was used for pur poses of illustration during the last moot court: Across the street from the X church a saloon was being run which was felt by all the citizens of the town to be ruining the community life. Smith, the new pastor of the church, in his first sermon prayed that lightning from heaven might destroy the building. That same day lightning did strike an out house near the saloon and had it not been for the prompt intervention of the fire department it would have destroyed the saloon itself. Jones, the proprietor, hearing about Smith’s sermon, sued the latter for an attempted arson of his property, claiming that all the elements of a criminal attempt were there, viz., a specific intent, and an act that was a step toward the carrying out of such intent.
