services Of the coach, who tutored
the only unbeaten New England col
lcge eleven. Ostergrer has received
on offer from Tufts, and at this col
lege, too he can study for d profess
sion. Captain Russo of the Blue and
/ Brown grid machine declared in
recent interview. that Bowdoin was
the best team Tufts met last season,
and indirectly paid a high compli
ment to Ostergren's coaching. The
Tufts athletic authorities feel the
same way.
When Ostergren arrived at West
ern Reserve, the whole college was in
an uproar over the miserable show
ing of the football team, which had
not won a game. When the Easter
ner was first announced he was re-
ceived with marked animosty. The
students thought he was some false
alarm that had been imported. Fred
in characteristic style grabbed the
bull by the horns, took his squad out
on the field, gave them drilling
such as they had never heard of, and
then watched his team hold Oberln
to Z to 0 score in the first game.
And Oberlin was considered good
enough to beat Reserve so to 0.
A week later came a game with
Case which had lost but one game
that season when they bowed to Hur-
~ Up 1osts University of Michigan
eleven. The Case team was quoted
5 to l shot to beat Western Reserve
by 20 points. But just as at Bowdoin,
Fred had put the fight into his pro-
teges, and the game ended in a score
less tie. At the start of the game
Case made five successive first downs
and carried the ball to Reserves 10
ward line That was the last time
they rushed for a first down during
the contest.
This only goes to show why Reserve
will be a strong bidder against Bow
doin for the services Of the big one

tend to be basketball coach. But to

Coach Ostergren
Had Wonder Record
at Western College

Portland, Dec. 3o-Fred Ostergrcn
arrived in town yesterday for short
visit, and frankly admits that the
West may be all right, but he likes
the East best. This may sound like
the announcement of a homecoming
tourist but it carries a welcome note
to the ears of the Bowdoin folk, who
hope to re-engage their 1921 football
coach for another season.
Ostergren is here primarily to con-
suit with Bowdoin alumni about the
gridiron membership for next season.
The former Portland High coach has
had great luck at Western Reserve.
where in 10 days he accomplished al
most unbelievable results with a
down and out football team. They
want him back at the Cleveland In
stitution. and they have made him
head basketball coach and undoubt
eddy he viii be made head baseball
coach.
But the heart Of the 'big blonde
viking" as one Western writer term
ri him is right back with the boys at
Brunswick whom he led to a defeat
iess football season last fall. They're
great bunch of boys" said Fred.
the greatest bunch of fellows, I ever
met" and he means it too.
\ man who makes his living by
coaching cannot be svayed entirely
by sentiment however. There are op-
portunities at Western Reserve
which Bowdoin doesn't offer. Ostcr-
gren has long contemplated taking
up a profession and eventually quit
ting the coaching game. The Ohio
university offers law, medicine and
other specialties. Then there is an
all the year round berth. while at
Bowdoin, his work is all over after
the football year.
Other colleges, too. have bid for the

Women Of the Orient
Are Eager for a
Better Education

! Chicago, Dec. 30.-A desire for
woman's higher education is sweep
ing over the Orient; the girls of
India, China and Japan are asking
for better preparation for life, ac-
cording to Mrs. Murray Frame, of
1enching college. Picking. who Las
just completed a tour of the United
States in the interest of better edu-
cation for woman in the Orient.
Within the last few years. seven
colleges for women have made their
beginning in the Far East according
to Mrs Frame. Five of them are
arts colleges and two medical she
states.
They are located as follows. Two
in India. at Lucknow in the north
and at Madras in the south: two in
China. one in the northern capital,
Picking. the other in the old south
ern capital, Marking; one in Tokyo.
the capital of Japan. The two med
ical schools are in Vellore, India, and
Picking, China.
Last winter, when North China
was in the strangle-hold of that ter
rible famine Mrs. Frame states.
students of Yenching (Peking)
College gave Maeterlinck's The
Bluebird,' in Chinese. through which
they raised $500 for the sufferers.
Then a small troup were excused
temporarily from college and went
out into the nearest famine region
to investigate. They found such
numbers of poor little girls. either
deserted to die, or about to he sold
by their desperate parents into a life
of shame. that they begged the use
of two Buddhist temples to serve as
a haven. There they cared for over
two hundred famine victims through
the long winter months, other girls
in the college securing money and
clothing, and coming in relays. for
two weeks at time to nelp in the
work. Among other ways of rails
ing money the girls gave Merchant
of Venice in Chinese.
Are the girls ready for these Cp-
,portunities? Every year they come
in eager groups. many of them sew
eral days journey. to enter this lard
of their dreams. But every year
many must be turned sadly away for
lack of room. A year ago IT'S ap-
plicants came for admission to the
Medical College at NelIore. Only %

fifty would-be medical workers for

Looks Like Lively
Pre-Primary Fight
in ArOOstOOk County

Portland, Dec. 3O-One of the live
Hest pre- primary fights scheduled for
the coming campaign will be staged
in Aroostook county. where they are
half a uozen candidates for the
three State senatorshipS to which the
county is entitled. 1t is true that
this number of aspirants may be de-
creased before the primaries in June,
and on the other hand it is quite
possible that it will be increased.
There was a time when seven Aroos-
took Republicans were looking with
more or less interest towards the
three senatorial chairs and it is not
wholly certain that this interest has
faded completely.
The three Aroostooli senator's Of
the present Legislature are belmont
futile of Caribou and A. r. Gould of
Pressure Isle. Senators Emerson and
futile have had two terms and will
not be candidates again. Mr.. Gould
served his first term last winter and
would be entitled to a denomination
should he seek it. Whether he de-
sireS it or not is a question. An
Aroostook Republican who was in
the city last week was rather in
clined to think that the Presque Isle
member would W. mt to go back, al
though he is apparently undecided
himself. If he decides to run there
will be but two seats for the other
half dozen aspirants to contes. for
SO far but four men have made
formal announcement of their candi-
daCy. These are Cyrus Been Of Hodg-
don, Seth w. Snow of Mars Hill, Paul
II. Powers of Houlton. a member of
the family that has been prominent
in Maine politics for years and Will
liam Bragdon of Perham member
of the House for the past two ses-
sions and also of the House of 1909.
Others who are qu1e. certain to be
candidates are Allen c. T. Wilson of
Pressure Isle. and Stetson H. Hussy.
Esq, Of Mars Hill, both of whom are
completing their second terms in The
House. Omar L. Farnsworth of Carl
bou may be a candidate, although
he is said to be a present undecided.
MI. al III " VI III, W lic Is prominent IN
the Grange has also served two terms
in the House.
Mr.. Hussey Expects to make his an
nouncement the first of next month
and others will follow along about
that time. The custom has been TO
divide the three senators between the
northern, central and southern parts
Of the county
The Aroostook mani as said that #
he was going to pick the winners he
would name Mr. Powers for the
southern, Mr.. Hussey for the central
and Mr.. Wilson for the northern in
case Mr.. Gould should conclude not
to run.
1t is generally regarded as quite
certain throughout Aroostook county
that Mr.. Hussty is practically GER
tain of one of the nominations.
He is young man who is generally
believed to have brilliant future be-
fore him. He is personally very pop
ular and made fine record for him
self in the House, where he served on
the important legal affairs commit
tee. He is a graduate Of Bowdoin
and a lawyer.
The situation is an interesting one
and it is not easy to tell just how it
will come out.
