Interest In athletics Is at a transitory stage, passing from football to basketball. At a meeting of the football squad Thurs day afternoon, Paul Cochran was unani mously elected captain of the next year's team. This mark of esteem on the part of his fellows is considered well merited, as Mr. Cochran has played two seasons with the team, this year forming part of Lincoln's impregnable line till he was put. out of the game In the contest with Washington High School. Besides being a good athlete, Mr. Cochran honors his school by being an excellent student. Wednesday afternoon the candidates for the basketball team met in response to the call of Manager Vosper. Thirty two men signed up. Among these are three of last year's championship team, Welch, Vosper and Peterson; also three of last season's second team. Rice. Carl ander and Venstrand. Arrangements have been made, for the members of the squad to practice with the high school basketball class at the Y. M. C. A.

The board of directors of the athletic , association, -organized Wednesday after noon. Lucy Shearer was elected presi dent: Ernest Carlander, vice-president; Lottie Banfield will have charge of the records. Miss Bain, of the faculty, will keep the funds. Mr. Blttner, faculty manager of athletics, reported that the football season had closed with $150 in the treasury.

The English department Is seeking to interest Its students in competing for the prizes offered by the Oregon Con servation commission and the state branch of the American Sons of the Rev olution. A number of the students have already signified their Intention of enter ing the contest. The December issue of the Cardinal appeared Friday. It falls not a whit behind its predecessors. The cover de sign o Christmas bells on a holly green background is particularly attractive. The various departments show careful attention. A timely editorial bemoans the prevalence of sucn boorish habits as eating peanuts on streetcars and throwing banana peelings on side walks. Worthy of special mention are two burglar stories, one by Tracy Moore and another by Eva Boscoe. There Is also, a co'.onial. tale, signed M. D. C. suitably Illustrated with de Its loss would be far greater to your family. You would n't think much of a man who neglected to provide food enough for his famOy.
