Five Groups To Enter Teams for Intramural Tilt Wrestling To Be Governed By International Regulations Five organizations, Fhi 1’si, Sig. Ep., Theta Chi, Delt and Friendly Hull, have signified their intentions of entering a wrestling team in the intramural competition. The match es begin January 23 and last to January 27. All matches will be ^ ruder the direction of Earl Widmcr, wrestling coach. National intercollegiate wrestling rules will be used this year, accord ing to Widmer. Practically the only difference in the rules that have teen used here before and the inter collegiate regulations, is that the latter give the referee a mightier hand. Here are a few of the regula tions: All entrants must be on the mat at 4 every day. All matches, not finals or semi-finals, will be five minutes to fall or decision. Team points can be won by both winners and losers in all weights, according to scale in the men’s gym nasium. Only two men from one or ganization may enter in one weight. The weights are: 118, 128, 138, j48, 161, 178-and unlimited. Any man reaching the semi-finals will score for his team. Drawings will be announced in the Emerald. Last year an independent organ ization, the Four Horsemen, won the 'wrestling championship, and Wid iiun says that there is a chance of such an organization entering again. Heii are requested to affiliate them selves with some campus organiza tion whenever possible in order to compete in intramural sports, but such a procedure is not required iu wrestling as it is in track. Frosh Class Votes Better Sweaters for Yearling Athletes Freshman athletes will receive hotter sweaters on which to wear their numerals. This was decided last night at the freshman class meeting. The class voted a tax of hO cents per member in order that the athletes of the class of ’31 shall be able to display their numerals from a better grade of sweater. Francis Hill made the appeal to the meeting for the sweaters and promised the frosh that by voting V1 he tax their athletes would wear the best sweaters yet given to lirst year athletes. The tax is to be placed on the fees next term. Following the tax levy the Frosh Gleo was talked up. Hal Paddock, head of the vigilance committee, appealed to the freshmen for help in decorating the Woman’s build ing. Both freshmen men Slid wo men arc to work on the decorating Friday evening. Keba Brogdon has charge of the women’s commit tee. President “Chuck” Laird appoint ed Bob Cummings to assist Paddock in his work.

IF, Secretary Visiting Oregon Campus During This Week Miss Henrietta Thomson, national Y. W. secretary, who is visiting the campus this week, has lived in four teen different countries. Constan tinople is the city of her birth, and she first opened her eyes in the building which originally housed -Robert's College, a well known edu cational institution of the Near Hast, with which her father was associa ted. “Of course, I have stayed in many other countries from three to five or six months, but that is. merely visiting,” she remarked. Miss Thomson has always been connected with student circles dur ing her life in these foreign couu tiies. She lias learned to know and understand many peoples, and in her present work she is attempting to bring some of this appreciation to American youth. “I am particularly interested in the Orient,” she said, “because we have more to overcome in our atti tude toward it, and further to go in ordur to understand it. “When you have learned to know and love a people, you can’t stand to see them victims of misunder standing and prejudice. I have of ten been called a sentimentalist, but I'm not—unless appreciation can be called sentimental.” People of many nationalities, Turks, Bulgarians, Serbians, Rus sians and Rumanians, attended Rob ert's College, where Miss Thomson spent her childhood. Education is very much in demand there, and Miss Thomson’s father, during his work in Constantinople, translated many texts from English into the Balkan languages. “I have yet to find any nation that is really a nation, not a tribe, which is not hungering for educa tion,” she declared. “Authorities encourage all educational work.” An acquaintance of Miss Thom son ’s who recently started a school iu Bagdad was given the blessing of the king and government there. Even before the teaching staff had been selected or the school building i arranged for, seventy students had enrolled. Siberia is one of the countries, not frequently visited by American tiavclcrs, which Miss Thomson tra versed. There is but ono railroad across the vast territory, and during the winter one must “mush” into MATINEE AT 3:00 P.

Coming from Moscow to the Pa cific Coast, Miss Thomson had to change trains at Irkutsk, a week’s journey from the Russian center, i for, according to Russian regulations |! then, (1912), a train had to he's emptied and aired ever seven days. 11 The second train had no dining car, L and the passengers would stop along the way, where small shops had long ' tables heaped high with whole roast a chickens, enormous loaves of Rus- ( sian bread, and piles of fresh but- t ter, to buy their day’s repast. j Miss Thomson’s headquarters are new in New York City.
