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. It it doesn’t, let’s have the black
Mat, Kill.
LOREN DAVIS IS PROMOTED
Writes of How Flu” Hit Him as Navy!
Hospital Apprentice.
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.
CONVENTION IS POSTPONED
Christian Endeavor Delegates to Meet
in Portland In June.
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.

"No diplomat," said Miss Franoklyn.

11 -Year-Old Boy Adopts Orphan.
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.”

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.
No charge made for any lens changes made during the
