Of course, I won’t doubt as how it’ll sound silly to anyone else, but I can show you just what an imagination can mean to a body. “I suppose you’d laugh if I told you that each tree on this campus has got a name! Well, its so, and I’ve given them the names. And, when the night is a little too dark, when the fog is rolling in too thickly, I let my imagination run wild sort of, and the trees and fa miliar landmarks keop me company. I admit that sometimes people are good for the character, but it isn’t so with imagination because that needs silence and solitude. “No,” said Brad way, sauntering out into the dark with his lantern swinging at his side, and his big bunch of keys jingling, “I never get lonesome or let the job grow monotonous—not ns long ns I have mv imagination.” i Final Tournament Today To Determine Winner Of Women’s Water Meet (Continued from page one) elimination tournament was intro duced to (jive the defeated teams an opportunity to compete with each other.

KNOX COLLEGE TEACHES FROSH FRENCH BY PROXY Knox College.—The Knox college department of French has bought several Foughely viotrola records to be used in class room work in order to teach the first year stu dents pronunciation of French word*. LAW STUDENT NINE CHALLENGES SQUADS FROM ANY DEPARTMENT Formal Notice of Intention to Maintain Supremacy Issued by President of University Lawyers By L. A. “We are the baseball champions of the campus,” declared Jean F. DuPaul and James King jointly, when interviewed recently regard ing the athletic situation in the law department. King is the captain of the team which the legal minds will push forward and Jean DuPaul is the honored president of the law school student body. “The law school,” said President DuPaul, “issues a challenge to any reputable school in the University,” including, in the opinion of those present at the interview, the econ ! omics department, which ought to be allowed to combine with its closest friend, the school of busi ness administration, in order that there might be no inequalities. Though they do not feel over confident, the lawyers are sure that they represent the ablest baseball talent on the campus. To quote the modest words of their third string pitcher, “Skipper Brooks,” “it will be easy.” Captain King seemed to be pur posely indefinite in speaking of his line-up. He intimated that he had several “deadhorses” which he would spring at the crucial mo ments but he would give no hint as to their ability. It is rumored, however, that Bob Mautz because of his low speedy build will of ficiate at shortstop and also that the bag at second will be held down by Professor E. H. Decker. It is known that “Skip” Brooks may make third or fourth string hurler but the chief candidates for the position on the mound are still shrouded in mystery. The report that Marion Dickey is in training for this post is only borne out by the fact that for the last three days he has absented himself from classes. Further than this no in formation was obtainable. That the “deadhorses” of Cap tain Jimmy King will be formid able, is not questioned, for the val ue of such was known to the an cients. To quote the mighty J. Caesar on the eve of his great East vs. West game with Pompey, “My kingdom for a darkhorse.” “It is just possible,” said Cau tain King, “that Jimmy Ross and Prexy Jones may become component parts of the nine.” Captain King also said that he would permit the varsity to use the diamond three nights a week. He and his men would occupy it for three more nights and on the seventh night the field would be allowed to lie fallow as that would probably be Sunday night. It is reported that the students of the law school were seen down on Willamette street recently en gaged in pick up practice. They promise that after the first game they will carry, instead of the proverbial canes, regulation Spauld ing baseball bats. The wording of the formal chal lenge is issued by President DuPaul is as follows: We, the members of the law school, being of sound mind and sound body, all appearances to tjie contrary notwithstanding, do here by agree, covenant and contract as hereinafter provided: to wit, to en gage at a contest of baseball with any and every aggregation duly recruited from the halls of learning of a recognized, certified and duly established department of the Uni: versity of Oregon. In witness thereof we herein and hereby attach our signatures.
