Nelson was largely respon sible for the showing of the Psi Kappa team, and koops thorn in tho running till tho semi-finals, when they wero eliminated. Referee Wins Praise Earl “Spike” Leslie won without a struggle tho title of official ref eree, (he had no competition.) lie was alert and of fearful mein to wrong doers; and won the undying admiration of his many friends through his graceful handling of the whistle. All in all tho season was highly successful. Tho games wore hand led in a very efficient manner, fans were treated to some interesting games, and most of all the men en joyed the competition, which is the primary object of the sport. Ap proximately 200. -men took part, many of them were freshmen; this gives coach Leslie an excellent line on available material for his frosh sqoad.

C. delegation, judges, Dr. Gilbert and Robert D. Horn, of the Oregon coaching staff. Klep Asks for Criticism Of Proposed Magazine; Student Control Planned (Continued from page one) Mr. Klep, “is to find out from the campus at large if they are really ready to support a publication such as outlined above. Every other school on the coast has such a mag azine and they are proving highly successful both financially and in | the fashion they are received on the campuses. “If any student sees any merit or has any criticism to make of these plans, which are as yet very rough, they would be appreciated. I believe that if this publication was made a student body magazine with the editor and business man ager provided for the same as for other stude#t publications that it could be made a success right from the start. Such a step would im mediately place the actual control of the magazine in the hands of responsible parties. “We hope to have the thing well enough along to start actual publi cation by the middle or latter part of the winter term,” said IKlep, “provided that the student body wants such a magazine. o c * STUDENT TERMS—$5.00 Down, $5.00 per Month OFFICE MACHINERY & SUPPLY CO.
