Sport Chatter by MONTF. BYERS There is liable to be some inter esting competition staged about the end of May, when two young gentlemen of certain conference schools get together on Hayward field. We all know what Tiny Hartranft of Stanford can do with the shot and the discus. Now comes news out Montana way that an athlete named Shaffer is becoming unruly with the dis cus and recently hurled the plate 151 feet 9 inches. Hartranft is also credited with cracking the world record of Jim Duncan in practice. • Back seats in the bleachers are going to be safest, if these two young gentlemen live up to their press agent stuff during the con ference and Olympic meets. Looks as if the west coast of these United States is going to have two weight men Bailing for Paris in June. We are sorry to note the absence of Art Tuck from the varsity ranks. This is going to cut the Webfoot track chances down con siderable. With Tuck gone, the first place in the javelin is also gone, and possible points in the shot and discus. This is just another quirk of fate, which has hit Oregon athletic teams during the past year. Chap man, injured; Shafer, appendicitis; Anderson, the same; aro just a few of the athletes whom Oregon has needed at critical moments, but they were not available. Eight now Louie Anderson would be a big help to the track team. He is a good javelin hurler and had the chance of making points with the spear this spring. These are just a few of the athletes miss ing for one reason or another. Bill’s cinder men, especially in the distance races, have had to leave school. Despite all the gloom this year, things look rather bright in track for 1925. The first year team looks unusually good, especially in the sprints and the weights. Wes terman, Extra, Holt and Stone breaker make a wonderful relay team. They, with the addition of Elannigan, took a few of the relay events over at Corvallis yesterday. The freshmen have some weight men coming up, who will be help for the varsity next year. Johns ton, Kjelland and Simonton look promising and will improve with one yJear of experience back 'of them. The distances and middle dis tances have some good performers, who will be heard from in one or two years. We are going to deviate from the amateur field for once and mention the professional. It is a pathetic tale and concerns a colored boxer. Sam Langford is going blind. Some won’t remember Sam, but he’s been fighting so long— in fact, we doubt if Sam knows how long he’s been fighting him self. Never a world’s champion, Sam has been one of the most feared fighters in the ring game. Sam is short and rather ludicrous in the ring, not over 5 feet 6, yet he * CLASSIFIED ADS* 45c; 3 times, 60c; 1 week, $1.20. Most be limited to 5 lines; over this limit i 6c per line.

One boy laughed nervously. He was a “pretty boy,” dressed in kniekers, a blue sweater and a fas tidious littfe bow tie. Over his shoulder was nonchalantly slung a bag of golf sticks and he was busily engaged in exchanging witty repar tee with a dashing eo-ed. Directly behind her stood a stately senior omniverouslv reading a scholar ly looking tomb and looking up only to watch his slow progress toward the “window of departing money” or to resusitate his departing strength with a lifesaver. Farther down the line was a young man of non-descript ap pearance who seemed to be in a great hurry. From time to time he im patiently pulled out his watch and after about 10 minutes became quite worried, finally departing on a mad tear to catch the street car to get to work on time. Which iS better off, the boy who comes to college with a fat pocket book, or the boy who must work his way through? Undoubtedly for the fulfillment of the purposes of a col lege education, the boy with money has the advantage but it is primarily up to the individual what he makes of college. The boy who has a consistent al lowance and uses his money with dis cretion, getting all that he can out of his opportunities, cannot be com pared with the boy who must wash windows to gain an education. He can only be compared with the boy who has the advantage of an allow ance but squanders his time and money in the pool hall. The period of years devoted to a university should be used to amass an intellec tual background and to acquire com petent power to criticize and judge accurately. For the boy who works, this is practically impossible because up permost in his mind is the thought that he must keep his stomach from meeting his spinal column and in stead of spending his frtee hours reading in the library, discussing current topic^f or active in some form of athletics, he must be counting the number of hours work he must do in order to pay his room rent. He works under a great handicap and is deflected from the purpose of his college course. Universities in different parts of the country are now trying a new system of education wheTeby )fhe practical is combined with the theo retical. Each student on enrolling in the college is automatically given a working position. The very anti thesis of such an education is the Oxford system which is entirely scholarly in its attitude. makes them step around, big or little. Too much fighting may have something to do with Sam's going blind. He’s taken enough punish ment on the head for anyone to go blind. Just recently he knocked an opponent out when he couldn’t see half way across the ring. In fact, Sam had to get back to his corner by hanging on to the ropes. Sam did have a title, and we think he has it yet, that of heavy weight champion of Mexico. Today Langford is almost penniless. He has been a good fighter, always willing to mix with any of them. Sam may be getting close to the end of life and the great referee may soon count him out, but our hat is off to him. He was a good mixer. “THE HARP WEAVER AND OTHER POEMS” By Edna Vincent Millay In American poetry, there is now a strongly lyrical revival of which Edna St. Vincent Millay, who, next to Amy Lowell, is the great est living woman poet, is high priestess. Miss Millay holds this ranking bcause she has not only a clear potency of style, and not only great power over flame and laugh ter, but also profound power over tragedy and pity. She has a rich sense of human values. , With the publication of “A Few Figs from Thistles” she became the poet laureate of the younger generation for this little book of impish lyricism and rakish ballads expressed so cleverly the proud, exultant flippancy and cynical op timism of Greenwich Village: “My candle burns at both ends; , It will not last the night; But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends, It gives a lovely light.” But she offers an apology for penning such unsophisticated cleverness in the “Goose Girl”: “If ever I said, in grief or pride, I tired of honest things, I lied.” And so we see her poetry come to full bloom in her most distinctive volume, “Second April,” and “The Harp-Weaver and Other Poems.” “What lips I have kissed, and where, and why, I have forgotten, and what arms have lain Under my head till morning In a dreary 'fostfulness she phil osophizes: “ ’Tis not love’s going hurt my days, But that it went in little ways.” and in: “Here is a wound that never will heal, I know, Being wrought not of a dear ness and a death, UNITARIANISM AT WORK An address by Carl B. Wetherell, Pacific Coast Secre tary of Unitarian organizations it the First Unitarian Church Sunday morning. Liberalism or Modernism is at work in the Christian church irrespective of denomination like a yeast. Uni tarianism is the pioneering movement of Liberalism. 11 has achieved a philosophy and a faith and has come to an understanding of the spiritual values of this new ad venture in religion. Mr. Wetherell is a forceful speaker and is in posses sion of the facts relative to the particular things Unitar Janism is doing and trying to do in America, particularly on the Pacific coast. We invite all University men and women who are interested in a faith of freedom, which uses and does not abuse Science, to hear his address. The soloist at this service will be Betty Nelson. The church building is located on East Eleventh Ave nue at Ferry Street. Services begin at 10:45 A. M. It is known as “The Little Church of the Human Spirit.’’ TAKE YOUR PICK L. C.

Smith Typewriter Office Machinery & Supply Company Over Western Union But of a love turned ashes and the breath Gone out of beauty . . . Beauty is Miss Millay's concern and goal. She can be metaphysical as in the richly mystical and magical couplets of “Renascence,” and its eccentric sister, “The Blue Flag in the Bog.” But she has too intense a passion for life, for the visible world, with its colors, movements, sights and sounds to devote much time to this eloquent abstraction. All her austere and formal lines open up vistas of beauty. She affirms her loyalty to beauty, her poignant hunger for beauty, through a condensed de scription of aching rapture in “World Beauty.” She hunts out beauty in unexpected places: “Still will I harvest beauty,” and “All those who believe.” As all of those who worship beauty: “And yet, before such beauty and such strength Once more, as always when the dance is high. I am rebuked that I believe in death.” No modern poet writes with a deeper, more crystalline power of tragedy and pity. The tragedy of the futility to guard the loved ones from death broods in stark agony in the son nets: “Your face is like a cham ber,” “What’s this of death.” Pity has never been more perfectly ex pressed than in “A Prayer to Per sephone.” The final triumph of death is gravely suggested in “Siege”: “This I do, being mad, Gather baubles about me, Sit in a cycle of toys, and all the time Death beating in the door.” Then she bravply weeps in spells of poetic sadness: “I would at times the funeral were done And I abandoned on the ulti mate hill.” She sings world-hunger’s grief in the most heart-searching poem in the book, “The Ballad of the Harp-Weaver.” The untutored simplicity of style seems wrought in the inde finable magic of genius. No intri caeies of arrangement, no splash ing impressionistic phrases, no brittle or grotesque imagery, no startling words. Her poetic power is direct, lucid and often dramatic. She has attained mastery of sheer lyricism. These verses wing, like a lark, out of a dimsy meadow into the infinite clarity of dawn. —WALTER EVANS KIDD. MOST POPULAR BOOKS IN LIBRARY—APRIL FICTION 1.
