Student Interest In Mitt-Slinging Growing Rapidly Team Ready to Meet Stanford University On March 4 Several Men Showing Up Well, Says Coach “Interest in boxing is increasing by leaps and bounds,” says Perry Davis, in charge of the sport, “es pecially since the men have begun to prepare for the coast intercol legiate championships at Leland Stanford, March 4.” “Oregon,” said Davis, “is to be represented by only four men at the meet, as insufficient funds were available to send more men to the southern school.” Men In Good Condition Davis’ men are coming along in excellent shape, several being al ready in tip-top condition. A good number are turning out every eve ning to receive instruction, and pros pects are good for bringing back at least one and possibly two coast titles. The team, according to Davis, is strongest in the 135, 145, and 155 pound divisions. Harold Little, at 135, is in top form and is confident of beating any one at his weight. Finch, a new man, who recently finished three years of service in the navy, fighting all around tho wprld, is showing particular promise and will be hard to beat in tho 145 pound cla.ss. Morris Collins, who battles at 155 pounds, is not quite in the pink of condition yet, but is sure to develop into a dan gerous man at his weight. Numbers Increasing Davis is looking forward to the time in tho near future when box ing will be a recognized minor sport at Oregon. Only last week, the University of Washington made boxing a minor sport on the cam pus, and at the present time, tho only schools in the coast conference which do not recognize it as such are O. A. C. and Oregon. Owing to the great increase in enrollment in tho last few years at Oregon, tho number who have taken up the sport has increased rapidly, so that tho regular classes in boxing are becoming crowded. A success ful showing in tho coast meet, such as Davis is expecting, will give the sport a boost toward becoming a letter sport.

The second and deciding game was won by the Huskies by one point, made on a foul after the final whistle had blown. Oregon led in both contests at half time. The lemon-yellow quintet had three of its men selected on the all-north west team that year. The members of the team included Captuin Homer Jamison and Kalker, forwards; Pen ton, center; Elliot and Sims, guards: Moore and Watson, reserves. The hoop season of 1912 ended with O.

EUGENE STEAM LAUNDRY stood head and shoulders above all other teams of the northwest. Oregon and O. A. C. bested Wash ington in the percentage column, although the games played between the Washingtonians and the two Oregon institutions resulted in a tie-up of two games each in both cases. In the conference games the var sity scored 215 points to its op ponent’s 132, winning eight of the ten contests, and finishing with a percentage of .800. The members of the team were Captain Homer B. Jamison and Dean Walker, for wards; Carl Fenton, center; Clif ford Sims and Bobert Bradshaw, guards; and Don Rader, utility. The beginning of the 1913 hoop season saw the last year of Bill Hayward’s basketball coaching un til 1918. Oregon started the sea son with four voterans, Jamison be ing the only member of the 1912 team missing. With a week’s prac tice, Oregon defeated Idaho in two early season games, 31 to 6, and 25 to 15. This year the lemon-yel low quintet defeated the Oregon Aggies at Corvallis, 21 to 13, and lost the second in Eugene, 13 to 8. The Washington State Cougars won the northwest title that year. Note: This is the second of a series on early basketball at the University of Oregon. Book on Religion ‘For Thinkers Only’ Received at Library “For Thinkers Only,” is the lab el on the new book, “The Tyranny of God’’ by Joseph Lewis. This, with “Jesus and Our Generation,” by Charles Whitney Gilkev, are the two new books on religion at th« library. Several books have been received on subjects other than religion, however. In the journalistic books conies “Fields of Adventure,” by hr nest Smith. This book contains some recollections of the author’s 10 years of newspaper life. Mr. Smith stient 25 years as a special correspondent of a. leading London daily, and in the course of Lis wan derings visited Cairo, Rome, Jerusa lem, Brussels, Moscow, Vienna, Par is, Athens, and Berlin. Tie encount ered royalty and eminent statesmen on his trips, and they are written up in “Fields of Adventure.” Of interest to University short story writers should be “The Best College Short Stories of 102-1-25,” selected from stories written by college students over the entire United States. Among the pure fiction is “Ilump ty Dumpty, ” by Ben Hecht. Mr. Iiecht uses a style which is similar to that of Eric Born, but which crit ics say is better. A book never before published in English is ‘Stories and Dramas,” by Leo N. , folstoy, which is among the collee- , lion. “Benjamin Franklin, The First Civilized American, ” by Rus- • iel, is also one of the new books. , Israfael, the Life and Times of Kdgar Allen Poe,” by Ilarvey Al en, is a seven day book. Squash Entries For Tournament To Close Today Drawings to be Posted With Instructions Monday Play in the first intra-mural squash tournament is slated to be gin Monday afternoon in the hand ball courts. Entries will close at noon today; an entry list has been posted in the men’s gymnasium and has so far drawn about 15 names. Anyone on the campus, student or faculty member, is eligible to com pete. As there are no veterans of the game of squash in school, a list of rules has been posted in the gym which is being perused by all who expect to compete. The game Ls declared by those who have attempt ed it to be even faster than hand ball and it is certain that any who take it up will be well repaid for the effort spent in learning the game. Drawings are to be made Satur day afternoon and will be posted in the men’s gym Monday morning to gether with complete instructions for running off the matches. Tennis rackets may be used al though regulation squash rackets will be furnished to all those who are without rackets. Squash balls will be furnished for all matches. The great interest displayed in the game since its introduction less than a week ago has led to the or dering of several additional rackets and balls and more will probably be bought in the future. Instructor Attends Noted Musician’s Talk Mrs. Prudence E. Clark, teacher in the school of music, went to Salem Monday to hear Herbert Witherspoon, president of the Chi cago Music college, speak before the Music Teachers association and in the Elsinore theater, preceding the Portland Symphony concert. Mr. Witherspoon, who is well known throughout musical spheres in the United States, is making a our of the Pacific coast, and stopped in Salem the first of the week to give several addresses. His talks, according to Mrs. Clark, were help ful and instructive; and followed the topics, “Opposition that Comes to Singers,” and “General Prepara tion of Musicians Today.” (Continued from page one) n a position to make a strong bid for the coveted berth.

Risque Feature Premised The feature will have everythiug from the breathless suspense and the broken collar button to spiked gin and syncopated mirth. Those having weak hearts are advised to stay away or bring smelling salts for the feature besides being risque and suspicious promises to portray all the dangers of the modern gener ation. At the rehearsal last night, Earl Chiles, president of the senior class, stated, “It’s a wow! The feature alone will be worth the price of the dance. It’s the best thing the class has ever put on, and that is going some when you consider the feature given last year at the Prom.” There are still a few tickets left. Those who get the inspiration to go today may get their tickets at the various men’s living organizations or at the dance. Christian Living to Replace Doctrines, Plea of Dr. Bowman Modern religion should no longer be a matter of formality and cere mony, and should be reflected in the lives of Christians rather than in arguments and doctrines, said Dr. Harold L. Bowman, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Portland, in an address delivered at a luncheon given in his honor Thursday noon in the “V ” hut. Thirty-five of the leading men in Christian work on the campus at tended. “Real Christianity is something that cannot be put over by argu ment,’’ Dr. Bowman said. “It can only be done through a human per sonality living a certain type of life. A formal religion is no sub stitute for the serious pursuit of the Christian life. It is not the argu ments or doctrines that count most, it is the example of a life that hats been rightly lived.” “Your Christ is glorious,” a Hin du priest once said to Dr. Bowman, “but the people you send to us do not live his life.” That is the trou ble with the Christian religion; the ten commandments that were laid down by Christ are not lived up to by us who call ourselves “Chis tians. ” Learn 'to love thy God with all thy heart, and thy neighbor as thyself, said Dr. Bowman. 1 Have any of us taken these pre cepts seriously? he questioned. Have we really made a serious effort to understand his personality and to follow' him? In closing, a prayer was offered by Dr. Bowman for the need for ser ious thought upon matters of per sonal religion. The luncheon, was given by the University Y. M. C.
