would crush a picked team from the
worlds champion Chicago cubs, the
Detroit American league champions
and the New York giants. Thef Z are
more beautiful flowers in the Willis

the English lightweight champion. in
a ten round bout at the National Ath-

lacked force behind many of their

White used his left cleverly in the
first two rounds but in the third he
changed his tactics. relying mainly on
his right Two rounds later the cause
of this shift was apparent. White had
broken his left arm some time ago in
England and he hurt it early in the

White was knocked down once in

the hell saved him by one second, and

7 So great was he in the community
that the neighbors pointed to him with
pride when strangers dropped in. His
rivals had sought his downfall and
even went SO far as to import pitchers
from Chicago and Detroit, thinking
to stop his smuggling. But the pro-
fessionals fell before him with almost
the same ease as the country boys.
Yet he was as meek as the poorest of
them and never listened to induce
ments to seek notoriety on the dia-
mond.
He loved the game for the games
sake and was never happier than

quently been known to do this as
many as four times in a game and
each one meant home run.
He had the making of a champion
but preferred to live in seclusion.
The young Michigan farmer is but
one example OF hundreds of such per-
formers in the country. There is
hardly man who has an opportunity
to get into these secluded spots of
the country who cannot tell you of
some such player. But these players
are going to waste in the back woods,
while the major league club owners
are on a rampage to find men to take
the places of the fast declining veter-
ans.
President Hedges of the St. Louis
browns only recently made the remark
that he was ready to sign a contract
with man, II he could but find one,
who had business ability and baseball
judgement combined, one who could
go into the wilds and find good young
baseball players. But in the present
conditions the easiest way for the
major league clubs to recruit is to get
the most promising players from the
minors. The minors find them in the
hidden country places and start the
development.
But just the same there are plenty
of. it themselves and thy will stick
to great players who do not even
know their farms or their little coun-

brought before the world. Baseball
needs some means of getting these
fellows into the game. The colleges
and minor leagues are not putting out
enough stars to supply the demand.
The major league managers are con-

Teachers Club.

At meeting Of the teachers club
last Wednesday evening C. S. Torvend
read carefully written paper on
Teaching as a Profession" We live
in an age of professionalism. Every
occupation from medicine to farming
is more and more beginning to de-
mand trained men and women"
I'm my opinion teaching is the
noblest of all professions. 1t is the
highest and the most sacred of all
callings. First Of all. 1t is a calling
which demands not only an intellect
a calling In which not only scholar
ship. but love is indispensable" Mir.
Trovend went on to show the great
influence of the teacher. and pleaded
for a better training for this profess
sion. He claimed that many OF the
teachers in our rural schools have
not sufficient preparation for this i'm
portant work. He also showed that
the wages paid to teachers are so low
as to keep some of the best talent out
of the profession

HAS MADE GREAT
PROGRESS
Resume of Association Work
Since the Start of School
Shows Gains

Inc University Young Mems
Christian association has been moving
steadily forward. The membership
committee reports a membership of
over one hundred and fifty. Under
the able leadership Of State Secretary
Nagly and President Brownlee the as
sociation has been a great force for
good at the university. The biblo
study committee reports total en-
rollment of between seventy-five and
eighty men. The religious committee
has arranged very many good pro-
grams for the Wednesday night mems
meetings. Several members OF tho
faculty, business men and residen:
ministers of the city, and several STU
dents have addressed tho association
during the year. Two Network talks
have been given, one by DR.. d. L.
Dunlap upon Ministry as Profess
sion" and the other by c. P. Brown
lee upon "A Life-Work Call" Other
meetings of this nature have been ar
ranged for Mr.. Sidney Clark who
speaks on the night of March II, upon
Banking as Life-work." Dean
Bruce speaks on the night of March
"a upon THE Law as Life Profess
sion." On the 14th Of April, Rev. ].
R. Burleson speaks upan THE Minis
try as a Life Work."
The employment bureau reports
having obtained several helpful po-
sitions for needy students. The Mis-
sion committee reports a present en-
rollment of forty-seven in the differ
ent classes. The election of officers
for the year beginning with the
first meeting in April, was held on
Wednesday night. March II. The fol-
lowing men were elected: President,
Fred R. York, 1910; vice president,
VIM. H. Greenleaf, 1911; treasurer, N.
c. Abbott. 1910. With these men at
the head of the association the out
look for the future is bright one.
Fred R. York, the president, has been
an active worker in the association
for three years, being vice president
for this last year. Mr.. Greenleaf, the
vice president. was chairman of the
employment bureau this last year.
He won the freshman oratorical con-
test last year; got several places, as
Ad Altiora representative in the de-
clamation contest last year: got Sec
ond place this year in the university
oratorical contest. besides he is a
member of the intercollegiate debat--
ing team which meets Hamline on
the 21st of this month. N. C. Abbott
the treasurer, comes back to the uni
versity this year after an absence of
several years. during which time he
has been a speaker for the institu-
ton in the true sense of the word.
He has considerable executive ability,
and as treasurer he will no doubt
prove strong man for the place.
Ira c. Trendberg. reelected Sec
rotary. has been a faithful worker
during the past year. Mr.. York and
Mr.. Trendberg both attended the Lake
Geneva conference last summer, and
will undoubtedly prove efficient men
on the cabinet, having caught the spir-
1t of the work at the Geneva confer
ence.

Pink Tea.

At the Woman's league afternoon
tea last Tuesday, the model high
school put on a clever little play,
"The Light Bearer" which is a DRAM
atization of the legend of Devils
Lake. Many years ago the Manttou
sent a curse over the Chippewas to
punish them for killing a band of
Ojibways who had settled opposite
them. To keep them in remembrance
of his displeasure he hid the sun and
sent black eagle over the land every
evening at sunset. When the play
opens the tribe is nearly dead from
dread and starvation. A last desper-
ate raid into the territory of the
Sioux has failed. As last resource
the chief of the Chippewas offers his
beautiful daughter, Minnewaukan. to
the brave who shall STAY the eagle. A
willy old brave who has long desired
control of the tribe. resolves to win
in the contest. AS he is in the forest
making medicine over his arrow the
real chief of his tribe returns. He
falls upon him and leaving the chief
for dead runs away with his charmed
arrow. The prince RECEIVERS from the
blow just in time to appear upon the
scene of the contest and shoot the
eagle. He is given the young princess
just as the sun again breaks over the
land. The play closes with speech
in which the future greatness Of the
tribe is prophesied.
The legend was entirely we'll
dramatized and we'll staged. Miss
Boyson and her class. who put on the
play. deserve much credit for the
manner in which it was presented.

LAW STUDENTS TAKE
PART IN EVERY
ACTIVITY
Responsible for a Big Share of
Honor Bestowed on State
University

There is an idea prevalent among
the people that the law school being
located down town and separate from
the rest of the university, the law
student do not take as much interest
in university affairs as the students
attending the college located on the
campus. This idea, however, is not
borne out by the facts. The law stu
dents constitute only about ten per
cent of the entire number of students
attending the university. And vet
We find that in all forms of university
activities the law students more than
hold their own.
Five Of last years six intercolleg-
late debates and four out of this years
nine intercollegiate debaters are law
students. Law students have won the
last two commencement oratorical
contests. The Bennett prize last
spring went to law student. The
winner of this years oratorical con-
test belongs to the law class. So
also does the student founders day
speake:.
Two of the eight members on the
athletic board of control are from
the law school; SO also is the presi.
dent of the oratorical association, and
the state delegate of that association
The editor in chief and two of the
associate editors Of the college paper
THE Student" come from the law
department. In athletics, one of the
leading activities of college life, the
law students have always taken the
lead, in spite of the fact that the
gymnasium and athletic fields are out
on the campus two miles from the
city, while the law students all live
down town. OF the eleven men con-
shutting the baseball team for 1908,
seven, including the captain wore
law men. The tennis championship
last spring went to the law school.
Last fall six law men including the
acting captain were on the varsity
football team. On the state champion
ship basket ball team of this year,
three out of six men, including the
captain, halls from the legal depart
ment.
This ear including the coach of the
girls basketball team the association
went to the law men. These facts
show very clearly that the law stu
students take a leading part in coll
lege activities. as they also do when
they enter the real struggle of life
after the college days are over.
