STRAWBERRY sundaes, home

Frosh Net Prospects
Are Dimmed by Loss
Of Star Racqueteers
The prospects for a winning fresh
man tennis team at the University
are rather dim at the present, ac
cording to Ed Abercrombie, mentor.
There is absolutely no experienced
material available at this time.
Chuck Burton, Portland net star,
who was counted upon to be the
ranking ace of the yearling squad,
is not in school this term.
This was not the only hard luck
to descend upon the frosh racquet
eors. Jack Kaplan fell a victim to
the scandal sheet, thus leaving Ab
ercrombie completely in the hole as
far as seasoned players were con
cerned.
There is a chance, however, of
taking the boys who show the most
native ability and working them
into a team that may win a few
games, but there probably is not a
man on the freshman squad who has
the ability to make the varsity line
up next year, Coach Abercrombie
declared.

ment, will speak before Lincoln and

Student Loan
Fund Depleted,
Says Walker
$11,650 Given Out During
Past Year; 75 Men and
45 Women Served
The student loan fund which is
administered under the direction of
Dean II. Walker, dean of men, is
at present very low, according to
figures released from the office
which show that $31,708.30 in loans
was outstanding April 1.
“The fund is working to capac
ity,” said Dean Walker. “And, al
though we have not had to turn
away from the University any stu
dent who deserved to stay, we have
had to fail back on other funds to
meet the just demands.”
The biggest single fault of the
fund, according to Dean Walker, is
the fact that there is no provision
for loans to freshmen men. Two
years ago, tho Women’s League
raised $500 so that freshman girls
could benefit from loans, but there
has never been a contribution for
[ the use of the first year men.
“The loan is earning interest and
doing good,” said Dean Walker.
Figures for the fall and winter
terms, to April 1, show that 120
loans, totalling $11,650, were made.
$7,200 went to 75 men, apd 45 wom
en borrowed $4,450. The average
amount of loan to each student was
I $97.08.
| The total of $11,650 loaned al
! ready during the present school
year comes almost within $1,000 of
reaching tho mark of $12,940 set
for tho whole school year of 1925-26.
There have been no contributions
to the loan sin.ee the Risley church
fund of $10,000 two years ago.
“One of the outstanding things
about the fund is the appreciation
of the students who use it,” said
Dean Walker. “Not only do they
talk about it, write letters of ap
preciation, and many times repay
the loan before it is due in order
that others may have the use of the
money, but in some cases, former
students send in donations when
they have repaid the loan.”
Borrowers always feel responsi
bility, according to Dean Walker,
and their grades are above the av
erage, although many of the users
of the loan are doing outside work.
Beta Frosh Win in
Water Polo Splash
After ducking the varsity swim
mers, 3 to 0, in the first of the
“world series” of five games of
water polo last night, the husky
frosh are raring to go, and threaten
to sink their rivals as deep as Davy
Jones’ locker in the next swim of
the series.

barely won over Friendly hall, 2 to

couple of pretty throws by Kittoe
and Bunn, who made the same num
ber of good throws in the last game
with the Independents.
The meager accommodations at
the men’s tank could hardly hold
the good sized crowd which attend
ed the splashing meets.

These moderns demand Qamels
MODERN smokers are the most
critical ever known, and Camel is
their favorite. Why?
Camel is the one cigarette that
will stand up all day and as far
into the night as you care to go.
Modern, experienced smokers
know that they can smoke one
or a million Camels with never a
tired taste or a cigaretty after
taste. Present-day smokers
demand goodness, and find it in
Camels — the choicest tobaccos
grown and matchless blending.
That is why Camel is favorite in
the modern world.
If you want the choice of the
hardest-to-please smokers of all
time, if you yearn for the mel
lowest mildness that ever came
from a cigarette-—
