Dunes and Downs.

Dunes" as we call hillocks and
ridges Of sand, is the same word as our
downs" and the adverb down" is
really the same word too. 1t was orig
inally "adown," a corruption of the
Anglo-Saxon 'of dune" meaning from
the down or hill So the substantive
down" and the adverb down" have
come to suggest almost Numerically
opposite ideas, and the phrase down
in the valley" when looked into proves
to be one of the strangest in the Ian.

DRUDCERY.

We may set it down as a great
truth that the sense Of monotony
and drudsery in our work gener-
ally shows that we have come to
put our emphasis in the wrong
place; that we have become con-
cerned more in getting our work
done and off our hands than in
the way we are doing it. Change
the emphasis to the latter and the
situation will be mastered, the
sense Of drudgery will vanish, and
the life and the work will have an
other aspect.-Simons.

you had better never been born

SYRACUSE IS

Portland, Ore, Dec. 2-With the aid of a bewffdering assortment of plays. the Syracuse University foot ball team defeated the Oregon Agrl- cultural College here yesterday, 28 to 0.
 The eastern aggregation got the jump on the Aggies the moment the latter kicked off and scored two touchdowns before the western play CTS got their hands on the ball. With one exception, the Aggies' defeat was the worst they have suffered this season. The Aggies had gained con son by defeating the Michigan Az gies.
 At no time during all four quar- ters was the Syracuse goal in danger. Never was her goal even seen by the much h-touted Oregon Agriculturals. The latter team was clearly outgen- eraled, outmanoeuvred and outplay- ed from start to finish.

ABERG TO DEFEND MAT CHAMPIO IO'NSHIP
 AGAINST CUTLER

New York, Dec 2-AIex Aberg, the worlds champion Graeco-Ro oman wrestler, will defend his title tonight The big Russian faces Charles Cutler the American grapp1er, in a match to a. finish in the international tourna- Illent at the Manhattan Opera House.
 This match is not one of the regu- larly scheduled affairs. It Is a spe- cial duel of skill and strength brought about through i'll feeling between the men. Strife has been brewing since last week when Cutler started to josh Aberg. The champion grew incens- ed at the taunting, and the two big fellows nearly came to blows.
 The night following Cutler offered to wager Aberg 1,0O0- he couldn't threw him within an hour. The champion refused to consider the def, i, and then Cutler offered to let the side wager go for a finish match. The challenge was accepted, and the match arranged.
 While Aberg is acknowledged to be the classiest and strongest wrestler in the tourney, Cutler stands a chance of tossing him. s1f Cutler is fortun- ate enough to pin down Aberg's S shoulders he will be entitled to the worlds title.
