The Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton has been notably active at the
University this year, adding to it's al
ready large list of interests. Already
it has forty per cent of the men in
the University on it's membership list.
Ninety-five men, or thirty-six per cent,
are enrolled in courses in systematic
bible study. The most popular is a
study of the Social Significance of the
Teachings of Jesus" by jeremiah w.
jerks, professor of political science at
Cornell Bible study classes are being
conducted at the fraternity houses.
The activities of the Young Mems
Christian Association are not limited
to religious work It's aim is to reach
every man in the University In this
broader appeal the association has
been notably successful this year. Two
informal receptions to new students
and a joint social participated in by
the Y. M. G. A. and the Y. w. G. A.
were held early in the semester. The
attendance was gratifying; practically
every student in the University at

last week at banquet given to new
members. Other social events will be
held at frequent intervals during the
year.
To meet the need caused by the
lack of a boys dormitory, the associa-
ton has started students club. 1t
has leased a house near the campus
and is furnishing room and board to a
large number of men.
The students handbook is another
evidence of the helpfulness of the
Young Mems Christian Association
This is a neat eighty-page booklet
containing the school calendar, Uni
versity regulations, athletic records
and schedules, Idaho songs and yells,
information about the various student
clubs and organizations and other mat
tiers of interest

STILL IN RING
AT FOUR SCORE

Lucien M. Lindsey of Spokane, con-
temporary of Doble and Splan in their
palmiest days and oldest active driver
in the world, it at work preparing his
campaigner, Padishah, to cover the
western circuit in 1912. He is 81 years
of age and has handled trotting and
pacing horses for more than half
century in various parts of America
He holds several records.
Lucien is a native Of Illinois, born in
Cook county in 1880. When nine years
of age his parents moved to Iowa,
where he remained ten years, going to
the Oregon country in 1S49, during the
gold excitement on the California
coast. Twelve years afterward he
moved to Boise, which was then part
of Washington.
Eph Maynard, driven by Lindsey at
Walla Walla, Wash, in 1862, made fol-
lowers of the trotting world sit up
when the animal stepped a mile in 1852
afterward going a mile in 2:40, equal
ing the mark set by Dexter at Dexter
park, in the stock yards district of
Chicago following the fire in 1871. Eph
Maynard made his mark in 1872, and
the time was a record in Oregon for
years. Lindsey also drove Parrot a
mile in 2:9O, a new record for Oregon,
which was made in the ninth heat of
a four-horse race.
The veteran had charge of the Reed
and Laid stock farm at Reedville for
a number of years and raised Jane L.,
a trotter that cleaned up everything
on the coast and set a mark of 2:19 u
in 1884. He has been on the circuit
every year since then and despite his
age he declares he is good from 10 to
Is years more His last race this sea-
son was at ColfaX, Wash, less than
five weeks ago.
Lindsey is in good health and is as
active as a man half his age. He
ascribes his strength to keeping regu-
lar hours and clean living and follow
ing the teachings of the Golden Rule.
