to Hayward, these men will be asked to

that proper attention can be given them
toward development for the freshman
team this season.
The draft system of picking men who
should be out for track will be used in
picking men for the varsity team this

the fact that there are but. three or four
old track men hack- A larger squad of
varsity track men must be formed, and
nil must be in the four o’clock division
in order that they may be given the spe
cialized training for which they ore qual
ified, whereas this would he impossible
under the present system of training
with the regular classes. Upperclass
men not in gymnasium work will he
enlled if Hayward believes them good
material.
Drafted men who do not show up to
expectation in the freshman and varsity
team classes will he transferred to their
former gymnasium classes, Hayward
said. Those who do not respond when
drafted, unless able to give a good rea
son for not changing their schedule to
the four o'clock class, will be posted
later on Hayward’s track “blacklist."

has been trying during the last three
weeks to obtain a secretary for the Y.

tary last August, ho was professor of
physics and chemistry at McMinnville
college at McMinnville, Ore., a position
which he had held for 10 years.
Hut No. I Well Known.
Ilia ability as a “Y” secretary is
shown by the fact that since entering

hut number 1, at Camp Lewis. I liis hut,
according to Mr. McAfee, was the first
Y. M. C. A. hut to be erected at Camp
Lewis and lias the reputation of being

the coast and the United States have
spoken from the platform in its assembly
room ; it has had a state senator for a
building secretary and is now tl\e hut
6< rving the 1st company of United
States infantry. This first company of
infantry had been stationed in the Phil
ippines for the past several years until
some time ago it was transferred to

With the rapid demobilization of
troops at Camp Lewis, Mr. Van Os 1 ’
was sent to the Y. M. C. A. hut at Cor
vallis on the campus of O. A. C., two
weeks ago. As there were already two
secretaries attending to the work there
Mr. McAfee got in touch with the coun
cil headquarters in Knn Francisco sev
eral days ago trying to get Mr, Van
Osdel transferred to Oregon. Permis
sion from the council for the transfer

a few minutes before the two secretar
ies spoke to the Friendly council and
cabinet of the local organization.
The new secretary will start work
immediately and intends to carry on
the “Y” work with renewed vigor he

with which the Friendly council of the
