COLLEGE, Athletes Awarded
Official Emblem of Honor

To the men who this year SO well
upheld the honor Of Whitman college
on the football gridiron, the varsity
"W'' was this morning awarded after
the regular chapel exercises. Thirteen
men played in college games this
year and were given the official award
by Acting President Anderson.
The awarding of the ''W'' is now
one of the most interesting features of
local college life. After each athletic
season, the executive committee of the
associated students receives from the
captain and manager of each depart
ment, the names of the men who have
partaken in athletics enough to win
the coveted emblem, which they may
wear on sweater, jersey or cap. In
football, it is necessary to play two
full college games to win the "W"
and this year there were 13 who played
this number.
These men are: Captain Vincent
Borleske, Ralph Mathews, Paul
Brainerd, Charley Lewis, Harry
Proudfoot, Fred Clemens, Clarence
Morrow, Joe Bassett, Alfred Belt,
George Cushman, George Oldright, Er-
nest Schmidt. and Harry Wilson.

mission, the movement inaugurated
by President Roosevelt for conserving
the nations resources. is nearing fru
ition. At today's session the first
steps will be taken toward putting
into tangible shape the results of the
six months hard work on taking stock
Of the country's waters, forests, lands
and minerals.
Next week, after the commission has
gone over the inventory. it will hold
a joint meeting in Washington with
the governors Of the states and terri
tories, or their representatives.
! At the meeting the, governors will
discuss the work which the national
conservation commission has been
carrying on during the summer and
fall The outcome of this work is
the first thorough inventory of the ma
TONS natural resources the federal
government has ever made. The in
ventory is now practically complete.
On this inventory which the conser-
walton commission expects to lay be-
fore the governors, the report which
President Roosevelt has requested the
commission to make to him not later
than January 1. will be based.

Harris borrowed large sums or

Rupp, "but I cannot see where it is
a crime for man to borrow money

public sentiment toward them in Pres

Now that the funds are to be dis

doubt of the benefits which will ac-

appear in the issues Of the Saturday
