S. Woodcock, B. W. Johnson, J. M. Nolan, Virgil E. "Watters, John F. Allen, N. it. Moore, G. A. Robinson, F. L. Miller and A. J. Johnson, the former having been elected as Chairman and the latter as Secretary and The Oregon Agricultural College has shown its class in the wrestling game by winning over Washington and Wash ington State, thereby establishing her claim to Northwest honors. Wrestling has been stimulated in the Northwest during- the past year and there will be some, interesting amateur contests be tween the colleges next winter. Bas ketball, wrestling, boxing and other indoor sports are of great value to young men who do not care for outdoor ath letics, as well as to football and base ball men who desire to keep in training during the winter months. - Washington State has a strong, well balanced team. Cooil and Nelson are the stars, but there are good men in every event and those who follow the fortunes of Northwest track athletics are proclaiming the Pullmanites as win ners of the Conference meet, but they will have to fight hard for; it. Corvallis has arranged a dual meet with Wash ington State in Pullman on May 11, and there is every hope here that the Orange team will win. Wolfe, of OAC, will outclass Holm, the Pullman weight thrower, and Hall should best him in the hammer throw. Chapman, of OAC, bids fair to win the high jump, although Putman, Pullman's jumper, cleared 5 feet 9 inches in the meet with Idaho. On Saturday next the Eugene lads will begin a series of games with OAC that will no doubt determine the state hampionship. The Corvallis ball toss- ers won this honor last year by winning four straight games from Oregon, but the teams will be evenly matched this season and there will be some good sport when they come together. "Father Tom" Kelly ha developed, a good team at Eugene and Corvallis has boasted of a strong team for two sea sons. ' It is pleasing to note the im provement in the quality of college baseball here in the Northwest, al- tnougn the sport is not supported as heartily as it should be.

Tell about some other little girl." Cleveland Plaui Dealer. Daily Gazette 50 cents a month.. - Starvation. . . After about the fifth or sixth day of starvation the pain oi hunger ceases to be felt, and the sharp edge of craving becomes dulled. In the ultimate stages of starvation the feelings become so benumbed that the senses, as messengers of intelligence, cease to act. There is practically no pain, and the mind lapses into a state of incoherence and sleepless delirium. V. E.
