University OF Oregon, Eugene.
Sept. 23.-If hard work and try
ing will develop football team
the University of Oregon will have
a banner eleven this season, ac-
cording to Coach Shy Hunting
ton, and all Oregon fans who have
given the lemon-yellow prospects
the ''once over" agree with him.
With but three members Of last
years eleven missing in the squao
OF more than rs men who are now
practicing daily for the varsity
team, this years outlook is the
best since 1916. Coach Hunting
ton with Line Coach Bart" Spell
man, and Trainer Bill Hayward
started fall practice Monday and
each day sees the squad of varsity
timber growing. Huntington, who
is starting his fourth year as head
coach, says this season is the first
one he has experienced when ali
conditions have sized up for a good
start.
A survey of the line from end to
end and a review of the backfield
shows a wealth of material from
which to pick this season. Inroads
of graduation took Spike" Leslie,
Martin Howard and Bill Reinhart
from the eleven of last year. For
Leslie's place at tackle Hunting
ton is grooming "Cogs" Camppen,
a 200-pound bone crusher who
made an enviable reputation on
the Oregon Agricultural college
rook eleven two years ago. Camp
bell registered in the University
of Oregon last year and is eligible
for this years team.

The ball is rolling at last toward
the ultimate goal which will bring a
club of the Southwestern league to
Topeka-but the rolling of said ball,
from all indications. is slightly lop-
sided.
Capt. W. C. Wells of the Santa Fe
baseball club made it plain to John
J. McCloskey. owner of the Topeka
| franchise of the club. and e. Rogers,
representative of Ensley Barbour
president of the Southwestern league,
that the Santa Fe club would not con-
slider selling their lease on the park
| for less than $4,000.
| McCIoskey offered the Santa Fe
| club $500 for the lease, making a
/ difference of $1,000 between offers.
Evidently there are two sides to the
| controversy, but the p-sided ball
carries the Santa Fe club on the big
| side.
| lease go for less than $4,000" said
| Wells today. 1.-The proposition offered
| us by McCloskey would no more than
pay for the improvements we have al
ready made on the park. When the
/ clubhouse burned down last summer
we had to build a new one. The fig
ure named by me is the lowest we will
| consider
Wells was emphatic in his state
ments that the lease could not be
/
/ $4,000.
Furthermore, Wells wasn't any too
sure that McCloskey owned the To-
peka franchise.
HE didn't show me any creden-
| tials," Wells said.
And the Santa Fe club will continue
! to play semi-pro ball, if McCloskey
| sallies forth and finds another loca-
ton to build his park, Wells said.
It looks like the two men, Wells and
McCloskey, are locked tight
| McCloskey at present has an option
on the park until January. 81, by
| which time he is either to accept or
reject the proposition made by Wells.
He wishes to submit the entire deal
to President Barbour for consideration.
| 81 don't think the park is worth
what Wells asks said McCloskey. at
is wreck as it stands, and a lot of
| improvements, representing many dol
lars would have to be made before any
professional club would inhabit it,
There's a merry war started-and it
should be decided soon. Wells be-
lieves that representatives of the
Southwestern league should have con-
suited with him sooner. In that he
is right. The Topeka management
wasn't exactly on their toes.
But the ball is rolling now.

FEW DIVERSIONS IN JAPAN
Youngsters Work Hard in School, and
That Is Probably Their Lies
Happest Period.

Almost all forms OF recreation
known to boys in America and Europe
are forbidden to the Japanese school
boy. He is under social or economic
bans that restrict his play for long
periods TO such dull pastimes as keep
ing a diary, writing and collecting
postal cards and attending a young
mems club-which has far less In
torcstng functions than club in
America, remarks the Detroit News.

For them the trip is a memorable adj
,cnture. The annual Opening-of-the-
River festival gives opportunity to
watch the fireworks and lighted boats
on the Sumida. In the evening he sits
~ his room. gazing from a window
or playing on flute that costs 10 or
~ cents. Lantern professions, by
which the Japanese celebrate their
many special days, are another diver
sion.
This has resulted in calling school

school he marries a girl In whose Sc
lection he has no word, and must earn
his living with whatever tools are Civ

Dice lied hv the Ancients.

Dice I'm some form or osher, have
existed in every period OF history and
in every nation. They are depicted
IN the early Egyptian monuments, and
hose cxcavated at Thebes are very
milar to the dice made today. Their
use is attested by laws regulating the
games played with them in ancient
Greece and Rome, rs well as in most
European countries.
The invention of dice is attributed
10 palamedes. about 1914 Il. G. But
he use OF cubes with numbered sides
Tor gambling purposes is probably
much earlier.
The Latin word for dice. tesserae,
IS derived from the Greek tesseres.
Ionic for teSsares, four, because it Is
ON every side square. Frequent pas
.ages in The works of ancient writers
and numerous representations in
marble and paintings show how pop
ular dice playing was among them.

How a Chinese merchant divorced

several years is the gist of a story

of the second union daughter was
born. Several days after giving birth,
the young mother was taken i'll and
grew worse and worse as time went
by.
All sorts of healing methods were
tried without avail AMI il was feared
that the young wife would die. At
last a woman was called in and gave
the opinion that the spirit of the
mans former wife was causing the
illness. Prayers were then offered 10

signs of the living wsfe's recovery
The woman then suggested that the
husband draw up a deed dlvorcing

Immediately afterward the living

What is the apparent form OF the

this question, reaches the CONCLUSION
that the form of the vault, in vertical
section. * that of the segment OF a
circle. the arc of which subtends at
the center an angle OF the order OF
80 degrees. If the reader will draw
such a segment, he may he surprised
by the amount of flattening. which IS
