INTRAMURAL ATHLETICS. [7p until the post few years^io ordi nary inter-collegiate athletics of the Uni versity furnished necessary exercise for virtually nil the students who wished to participate. "With the growth of the stu dent body came the first of the intrn murnl activity which by providing some class football games, basketball and base ball contests gave lesser athletes an op portunity. and assisted in creating inter mt and developing material for the rarsity teams. The continued growth of the student body now seventy per cent larger than it was in 1913 bus Baade even this plan of intramural athletics with the equip ment available entirely inadequate. The basketball floor was not always available when the student had time to rise it. often there was no opportunity to get into.the handball court and many students who went to the gym for exercise were forced to wait around wishing they could ‘‘get into something." Meeting this demand, the new gymna sium annex will be completed this week and the former drill shel will be avail able for student and faculty games of tennis, handball, basketball and indoor baseball. The changing or tins inuming into a g>m floor is undoubtedly » step in the right direction. It will givo to Oregon’s growing student body un opportunity for exercise and health on n 100 per cent basis. As one step in this direction, the new floor has made possible an intra mural indoor baseball league, plans for which are already forming in order to bridge the gap between the intramural basketball and wrestling tournaments. “Bill” Hayward's guarantee to get a letter for any man who goes out for track during his four-year college period ought to be sufficient to get enough men out for track in numbers sufficient to make the proposed student blacklist unneces sary.

Loren Havis. a member of the class of 19121, now at Mare Island in the na val training camp, has written to the secretary ii. charge of military records, lvmma WVctton llall, with regard to his work in tlx uav> during the war. lie writes: , "1 enlisted in the hospital corps of the 1'nited States navy as hospit. 1 appren t e, second class. 1 was serf ;o the lx’Spiral school at float Island, San ,Francisco, which I attended for flee mouths. The influenza began to work among the sailors at Mare Island and I was sharped there with a bunch of other hospital apprentices. When the epidemic was over the majority of the apprentices were sent back to Goat Island, but on account of our work dur j ing the epidemic, several others and my self were retained and became a part of \ the crew of the receiving ship at Mare ; Island. “I expect to be here until discharged from the service- I became a hospital ap prentice, f,rst class, the first of Decem ber, and will become a pharmacist’s mate third class the first of March. There is a small chance that I may yet see over seas service, as they are transferring many sailors to the seacoast for trans port duty to bring back the Unitel States share of Germany’s ships “I intend to return to school if pos sible and continue along medical lines, but do not know for sure what I will be able to do.” PRESIDENT GREETS LIEUT. M THE Leaders of Peace Conference Seen in Paris; Also Views Panoramic War Picture. Lieutenant Lamar Tooze, of Salem, a graduate of the University in 1910 and a brother of Lieutenant Leslie Tooze, who was killed in action in France last September, was in Paris early in Janu ary on a seven days’ leave. He gives some interesting sidelights on the supreme peace council in the following letter writ ten to his father, Walter L. Tooze: American University Union in Europe, 8, rue de Richelieu, Paris. Paris, France, January 10, 1919. I am now on a seven days’ leave in Paris. So I will start in with yesterday. In the morning I went out to Napoleon’s tomb at the Les Invalids*. The whole thing made a profound impression upon my mind—and as I stood there under the great beautiful dome and looked down into the well at the huge block of red granite containing what is left of the physical of the great captain, I reflect ed upon the lesson which life brings to tho world. An humble Corsican by birth he rose to the heights of the greatest power the world has known making and unmaking kings at will, parceling out kingdoms with the lnvishness a Louis XIV parceled out the wealth of France but a few years before. Panoramic Picture of War. I also saw a panoramic picture of this war and it was a most remarkable sight. All tlie allies and the whole western bat tlefront are depicted and there are many actual portraits, including Wilson, Per shing, Baker and others. It was a most wonderful thing, requiring 1-1 artists four years to complete it. Today was one of (lie most momentous of my life. Within a space of 15 minutes I saw tlic great leaders of the world who are attending tin' allied peace conference in Paris. Major Busch of Portland and 1 “breezed” into tl^o French foreign office (his afternoon and took position at tho doorway through which all the allied representatives would pass. Wo later learned that we were the only persons in there without written authorization— "Fools go where angels fear to tread.” In a few minutes l’iohon, the French for eign minister rolled up in a car and has tened through the door to the aecom pnnimeut of moving picture machines and cameras. Then shortly afterward, Clem enceau, ttie premier of France, and pop tilarly known ns the "Tiger," alighted ami walked through the doorway—an old man but extremely active, lie reminded me of Hoosevelt He seemed to possess the same get ahead characteristics. Marshal Focll drove up and alighted, a cigar in his mouth and smiling ac knowledgment to the salutes those of us in uniform attempted to execute without interfering with our vision. President at Foreign Office. And then came the president -alone. He drove up in a staff car. leisurely got down and bowed and nodded to (he group in the doorway. The flashlight explos ions never bothered him at all, though I’ll admit that m.v salute to the com mander-in-chief was halted at the elbow because there was a too i lose similarit' of these explosions and those wo heard on the front. Then Mr. I.loyd Hrorge, all smiles and i with a business like air the air of a man who knew what he was going to do and would do it, descended from bis car and passed by. lie was followed bv Balfour, who shied like a country maiden from I the battery of kodaks. Others we saw were Admiral Ilens -n, Hear Vdmiral tin son, lioiu i tl Bliss, l'dw ai vl N. Hnr- i ley. Herbert Hoover, Bernard Baruch, j and the French ministers of navy, ma- 1 ' me, commerce and munition^. Me also wrote the following a few days j 1 :1 <t to let you know that I am well ’ and having a most delightful stay In Paris. 1 saw a few of the notables 1 . wrote you of in my former letter. Maior I liasch ami I wont over to the bureau of Foreign Affairs again today and Pres ident Wilson, as he alighted, greeted us with a cordial “Good morning.” Mrs. Wil son was with him.

The dual convention of the Christian Endeavor which was to he held at Mil ton, Feb. 15-16, and at Albany Feb. 20 23, has been called off owing to the pre vailing influenza epidemic throughout the state. Instead of the dual meeting a joint convention will be held in Portland June 19-22, according to Elaine Cooper, freshman at the University, who is state chairman of the registration committee. Extensive plans for the convention had been made. Over a hundred persons, sev eral of whom are University students, had written to Miss Cooper signifying their intention of attending. Walter U. Myers, a graduate of the University, is state chairman of convention advertising. Pedro Alcantara Tells of Spirit and Athletics; Women Try All Vocations. Philippine universities, according to Pedro Alcantara, a junior in the Univer sity, and the only student on the rumpus from the Philippines, are very different from American institutions. They have no inter-collegiate sports and no men's and women's fraternities. Athletics, he says, figure prominently in the Philip pine Islands, but they are all conducted on the home campus. The Western Olympic meet is held every four years in Manila, which, Mr. Alcantara says, is undoubtedly the pearl of the Orient. Kepresentntive students come to Manilu for this meet from Japan, China and the Philippines. Likes Oregon Climate. Mr. Alcantara lias been in the United States three years. He went first to San Francisco. “I always wanted to come to America, and I like Oregon, oh, very much!” lie declared he did noa mind Oregon’s misty rain at all, since he had been accustomed to six months down pours in the Islands. ‘‘The rain in the Philippines is heavier than on the Pa | elfic const. It averages about 115 inches a year. “Women have great vocational free dom in the Islands,” said Mr. Alcantara. "We have many women lawyers and I jurors. "The colleges and universities are both eo-educational and segregate. Our high schools are nil of the same standard, j The same training is given in all the schools.’ Philippine University in Manila is the principal institution. It 1ms an enroll ment of 5,000 students. University 300 Years Old. The oldest college of the islands, ac cording to Alcantara, is Santo Tomas, established in 1003. Mr. Alcantara is taking pre-cniedic work. When he completes his education he plans to return to his home province to practice. He comes from Capias, on the island of Panay. Onpiz is a city of 25,000 people and has COO students in its high schools. Mr. Alcantara is fond of baseball and expects to try out for the Oregon nine in the spring. He is a member of the Span ish club, recently re-organized on the campus. MEED OF AMERICAN HELP. (Continued from page one.) addrrss of their protege.

Miss Franoklyn cited one touching ex ample of the pride felt by many young 1 onefaotors for their orphans. She read a copy of a letter written by a 11-year old hov in Chicago to a little girl in France, whom he was “keeping.” “Mv name is Robert,” he wrote, "and all the girls and boys in our school have a child or two to help take care of, and some have ten or twelve,, but I've got only one all my own. I am selling papers to make seventy cents a week for you, “T love you very much and want you to tell me all about your bravo father’s fighting." “The ideal this creates," Miss Franok Ivn said, “:s one of the most wonderful of things for a nation.” Wallace's Cigar Store.

The Breeding Place of Defective Vision Is, in very many cases, the School Room. Present day methods of education require concentrated vision for long periods at time at an age when children’s eyes are especial ly susceptible to injury from eye strain. School Children’s eyes should be examined upon the least indication of eye strain. Many cases of “Backward ness” or “Mental Deficiency” may be traced to defective vision.
