RELIGION DISCUSSIONS
DISCONTINUED BY Yl
Wednesday Evenings Set
For Lecture Series
The Bible discussion groups which
were to have been carried on by the
women 's houses in co-operation with
the Y. W. C. A. have been discon
tinued for the remainder of this
year as a result of a decision made
yesterday at a meeting of repre
sentatives from the women’s liv
ing organizations, at the head of
which is Charlotte Winnard. Lec
tures, which will be held each week
on religious subjects in conjunction
with the Y. M. C. A., will take the
place of the discussionsr
As Miss Florence Magowan, sec
retary of the Y. W. C. A., explained
yesterday, it is not because of the
lack of co-operation on the part of
the women’s living organizations in
supporting the Bible discussions,
but rather a desire to assist in car
rying out the new plan of holding
a series of lectures to be given by
authoritative persons which has
prompted the decision to postpone
the Bible discussions. “We also
feel,” Mass Magowan added, “that
we would rather not take too much
time for the girls, and these lec
tures will be both informational
and broadening so that they will be
worthwhile.”
“It is not the idea of the asso
ciation to discontinue the Bible dis
cussion groups which have been so
successful in the past, Miss Magow
an continued, “but we will prob
ably go on with them next year.
These lectures will be held every
Wednesday evening at 7:15, and it
will be announced at a lateg date
just when they are to begin. The
program will also be announced
later.
WOMEN WILL LEARN
TECHNIQUE OF FENCING
Requests for Admission to
Class Granted
Instruction in the art of fencing
will soon be open to the women of
the University. Through the ef
forts of a number of the fair sex,
who voiced their desire to compete
with man in his age old boast of
“swordsmanship,” classes will be
opened in the near future.
“There can be no doubt as to the
practicability of fencing for wo
men,” kaid Clinton Davisson, fenc
ing instructor, in discussing the in
novation. “They do, on a whole
make better fencers than men, for
this branch of sword play is not
accomplished by height or strength,
but rather by the delicacy of “feel
ing,” and the rapidity of motion.”
“Fencing is the fairest game we
know of,” he continued. “It is an
exercise one may keep after he has
long grown too old for many of the
more strenuous sports. The short
and the tall, the strong and the
weak, the old and the young, all
have equal chances. A single word,
the key to proficiency is practice.
All those wishing to take work
under this new department are re
quested to leave their names with
Miss Alden, head of women’s phy
sical department at once. Should
the number interested warrant it,
a class will be formed as soon as
equipment may be obtained.
COLD SNAP INJURES
CAMPUS SHRUBBERY
Much of the shrubbery on the
campus was badly frozen during the
recent cold snap, states H. M.
Fisher, superintendent of grounds.
Mr. Fisher does not think any of
the plants will be lost but that
they will probably have to be prun
ed down close to the ground which
will set them back considerably this
spring. Some of the plants may have
to be replaced, he said, depending
upon whether the roots were frozen
or not.
No definite plans for spring work
on the grounds have been made as
yet, according to Mr. Fisher. He
commended the cooperation of the
students in using the paths instead
of cutting across the grass while it
is so wet and soft.
OKLAHOMA BANKS SOLVE
STUDENT ACCOUNT EVILS
Oklahoma A. and M. College—
The accounts of students are a bur
den to the banks, so the bankers
claim. To remedy the trouble,
cheeks in denominations of $25 will
be given the students. To be cashed,
these checks must be countersigned
by the student in the presence of
the person taking the check.
TWO FOOTBALL RULES CHANGED
AT ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION MEET
Screening of Forward Pass is Prohibited; Check Made
In Protective Equipment
At the recent meeting of the
American Inter-collegiate Football
Rules Committee two changes were
made in the football rules. One
change was to prevent the screen
ing *of the forward pass, and the
other to check the tendency of
using protective equipment for an
individual player which might prove
to be dangerous to other players.
The report of E. K. Hall, chair
man of the tfules committee, is
given:
The changes in the playing rules
for the season of 1924 were not in
any sense fundamental. Most of
them -were designed to assist the
officials in speeding up the game.
On the whole, the results have been
gratifying and have tended to jus
tify the changes.
The general purpose of abolishing
the tees was to eliminate the delays
which were being occasioned by
time consumed in collecting and
shaping up the material used for
tees. In this connection, the com
mittee tried the experiment of put
ting back the kick-off to the 50
yard line instead of the 40-yard
line, as provided in the rules of re
cent years. This difference of 10
yards on the kick-off has resulted
in too many kick-offs crossing the
goal line with the ball automatic
ally coming back to the 20-yard
line for the scrimmage. This has
lessened the number of opportuni
ties for running back the kick-off,
which is one of the most attractive
features of the game. The commit
tee will undoubtedly consider at its
next session the feasibility of re
storing the spot for the kick-off to
the 40-yard line.
Every year since the rules have
been in substantially their present
form, the game has increased in
popularity and in its possibilities.
Each year it seems as if the inter
est in the game had reached a maxi
mum and the next year shows even
greater interest than before.
I am satisfied that the reason
for this is found in the fact that
the game contains practically every
element essential to the highest
type of sport. It is played out
doors. It offers rare opportunity
not only for physical strength, agil
ity and speed, but for mental alert
ness, resource and initiative. ) It
calls for and develops confidence,
courage and nerve. It affords op
portunity for the exercise of all
these qualities in every variation
with kaleidoscopic suddenness. Its
continual flashes of physical con
tact test the temper as almost no
other game and afford continued
and invaluable experience in devel
oping its control. It develops a
fine quality of sportsmanship. It
teaches the value of painstaking
preparation and of attention to de
tails. And above all, it is out
standingly a team game -with all of
the opportunities of and rewards
for team play. Up to the present
time, it is distinctly a game of
amateurs and carries the hallmark
of being the only distinctive acad
emic sport.
Let us not be disturbed by the
criticism that in its match games
it attracts too large audiences, and
that the receipts roll up into large
figures. Let us, on the contrary, be
proud of a game which is so whole
some and so rare a sport that the
friends of the colleges and of the
game are anxious to deposit at the
gates of the stadiums through their
small contributions, seldom exceed
ing $2.00 each, an amount of money
which literally is supporting prac
tically every other branch of ath
letic activity in the colleges. This
taeans that through the financial
backing which football in its pres
ent form has made possible,, we are
approaching a condition that we
(have been so universally hoping for,
namely, a time when the burden of
finding facilities and equipment for
every branch of college sport has
been lifted from those who wish to
participate and opportunity opens
to all. As it stands today, the re
ceipts for football in an increasing
number of colleges are carrying the
expense not only of the equipment
and training for football itself, but
for hockey, rowing, tennis, golf,
swimming, soccer, basketball and
baseball to the extent which these
sports inadequately fail to provide
revenue. If the dream of general
participation of entire student
bodies in intramural athletic sports
ever becomes an actuality it will
be due in part to the stimulus and
support of intercollegiate football.
A score of men participate in ath
letics in the colleges today where
one participated twenty years ago,
and I take it that no one will deny
that the result is an infinitely more
wholesome morale in the colleges to
day or that the results will be found
magnificently worth while in the
coming generation.
The report for the year 1924
would be incomplete without calling
attention to the fact that the game
as now played does not begin to
put the strain on players which the
old game did. One needs only to
look at the schedules of 1924, which
would have been deemed unthink
able a few years ago, and then note
the fact that some of the teams
which played the hardest schedules
came up to their final games in the
pink of condition.
CHALLENGES RECEIVED
BY GIRLS’ RIFLE SQUAD
Shooting matches with other
schools will begin about February
14, according to Captain J. T. Mur
ray of the R. O. T. C., who is in
charge of the women’s rifle team.
A number of challenges from other
teams are already on file, and ad
ditional arrangements with other
school® are being made.
A rifle teem is composed of 15
members. In a match, only the 10
highest scores are counted. The
military officer in eharge of the
match is responsible for the cor
rectness of the report which is sent
to the opposing team. This proce
dure is followed by each of the
contesting teams. The winner is
determined by a comparison of their
respective reports.
Last year the members of the
University team matched their abil
ity with the teams of schools in
various parts of the United States.
NOTRE DAME ELEVEN HOLDS
HIGHEST PLACE FOR YEAR
The Notre Dame eleven, which
finished a brilliant and undefeated
season of football by winning over
the strong Leland Stanford univer
sity eleven New Year’s afternoon
by a score of 27 to 0, was the great
est all-around team of the 1924 sea
son, in the opinion of Grantland
Rice, noted sport writer. Harold
(Red) Grange, “flaming meteor” of
the University of Illinois, is perhaps
the greatest ground-gaining player
of all time, ranking with Hesor,
Thorpe and any of the players of
former days, Rice thinks.

Crockatt, Railway Expert,
Returns From Trip
Motor stage problems in Oregon
are being investigated by Pater
Crockatt, instructor in economics
and railway expert, in a survey
which includes the taxation of buss
es, the development of bus lines
and their proper relation to the

M. Crockatt returned Saturday
after having spent nearly a week
on this investigation which is part
of a larger work to be done on the
coordination of highways, railways
and waterways.
Stimulus for the survey was pre
sented as a direct result of a radio
talk which Mr. Crockatt gave in
Portland on December 5, for the
University extension division. This
talk, on “Motor Bus Competition
With Railroads” lead to an address
in Salem, December 16, at the state
convention of the Motor Stage
