' In college life we hear much about loyalty, sportsmanship,
school and class spirit, and pep. Is there any better way of
developing these essential qualities than by means of athletics?
There is a feeling of unity and common understanding when
the rich, the poor, the studjoife and the carefree sit on the
bleechers backing their team. Can we ever forget those„m(T'
ments of happy rejoicing when the team came out on top; or
of fleeting despair when we thought they hadn't a chance; yet
we would stick by them through thick and thin.
Girls, are we being loyal to our teams as we should be?
You who will not give enough of .your time to attend the games
arid root for the players who work so hard for the honor and
glory of their school and class. Some of these players are din-
ing room girls. It is a real hardship for them to get to the
dining room and serve after playing a hard game. Why can't
other members of the class,take their places in serving on these
evenings? Why let so few carry the burdens of the class? Let
us be loyal and stand by the team to the last degree. What dc
you say ?
o
A BIT OF PHILOSOPHY. / ■: .
Once upon a time a new arrival in a certain college said,
"I don't like that girl. I don't know her."
"That is exactly,,,vahy you don't like her," quickly retorted
a bystander, who was a classmate of the two girls.
.How very often we hear that V^ry expression: "Oh, I don'
' if&e her," or "I despise that boy." ' ftad ytou ever stopped to
think or wonder why you do not like him? Caleb Coten' says,
"We hate some persons because we do not know them; and we
will not know them because we hate them." Is that not true?
First impressions are frequently lasting, but does not neces-
sarily make it rightly so."'3Wv would you like to be judged at
all times by a mere chance contact with every person you know?
A queer piece of philosophy drifted down from somewhere
and it was something like this: if y.ou dislike a person, try
and do something for that person. We like the people for
whom we do things because we have put a bit of ourselves into
the life of the other person. A rather selfish view, of" course,
but better that than to continue to dislik^>^uiyone for no rea-
son other than that you do not know him^Try it; go to town
for her; curl her hair^ help her with a lesson—anything to
leam to know the girl on the campus whom you dislike the
most, and before you know it,"she will be.your best- friend.

TO USE, TO WASTE OR TO WRECK.
Three things a person may do with his life. Either use it,
waste it, or wreck it. This was the opinion of a recent speaker
in our chapel One may then ask this .question: "In which of
these directions am I started?"
No one starts out to wreck his life.' The reason for the
wreckage, the speaker pointed out, is because people have no
purpose to their life, no object in living. A wrecked life is the
resultant .of a wasted life.
The story was told of a gypsy girl who because of the life
she led had engraved on her tombstone, "She made home
Heaven and life a paradise."
To radiate our happiness, our hopes, our enthusiasms to
someone else should be a daily aim of ours. Merely, existing
is not living. Each day holds within itself the most perfect
living you can put into it.
When we are gone, honored would be the name about which
could be said, "Her life made the life of others better."
Sir Franpis Bacon, believing* that
cold would preserve meats, died of
exposure duo to an experiment with
snow and chicken.
Upoif hearing this, I once remarked
jokingly, "He was not satisfied with
BACON."
Unwonciously, I was happy in my
thought/ Had he been satisfied with
Bacon, wt> would have," most assurOU-
ly, never heard of the supreme price
he paid for a great experiment.
Too many of us arc satisfied with
"bacon." The person who succeeds
in life is the person who is never
satisfied with self. He' is constantly
realizing his lack of knowledge and
incompetence, therefore, constantly
improving.
Bacon felt that there was some-
thing more to give to the world. Ho
was, at the time of the experiment, a
very old man. He had done much
for his people. He had, many times,
suffered digrace at their hands. Yet,
he would endanger'his physical being
to offer another gift—that of food
preservation. Doubtless, had this last
work been successful and not re-
sulted in death, he would have given
more ideas to the world."
Great people are never satisfied.
They can only be halted in their ad-
vancement by death. Life is one

Miss Rider has so many super-

them, discarded, in the waste basket.
Miss Bailey showed her conserva-
tive- spirit by remarking that she
wished that we would not have
breakfast until after lunch.
Miss Richardson, in her anxiety
to rush the ,Christina* holidays,. ate
her desert for salad at lunch.
Miss 'Petty feels that, aside from
waste baskets, her home would be
spotless at all times.

An enthusiastic group of students
met at the Spa, Thursday evening,
Oct. 14, for a debate rally banquet.
The object, of the toast program was
to acquaint the new students with
the past, present, and future ofvde-
bate on the Willamette .campus. ^
„ Victor Carlson told the past his-
tory of men's debate. Willamette
has always been known locally that
is on the coast, he said, as a strong
debate school, but it was not till the
tour made in the 1922-23 season that
Willamette's fame was spread
through the" eastern states. Since
that time Willamette has been con-
sidered a worthy opponent for any
university and schools sending teams
west have asked for debates in
schools. Last spring, as a result of
the fine record made during the last
five years, a chapter of Tau Kappa
Alpha, national forensic fraternity,
was established at Willamette.
Adelia Gates, women's debate man-
ager, spoke both jpf the past and fu-
ture of women's debate. Eight years
ago, Miss Gates declared, the women
had their first team. The victories ihat
the women won from well known
schools during this period did much
toward securing the chapter of Tau
Kappa Alpha.—Willamette Collegian,
Willamette University.
We would like for T, W. C. to have
a record like this.
The Baylor Bears clearly out-
played .and outfought the- Trinity
Tigers on Carroll" field at Waco
last Saturday and came off with
the heavy end of a 14 to 0 score.
The game was "loosely played • .a»
times, thought several lohg runs
by Baylor backs and occasional sen-
sational flashes of strong defen-
sive work on the part of the Trin-
ity line lent zest to the fray,—The
Trintonian, Trinity U.
Fighting stubbornly through four
long quarters of colorless foot-ball
in which they were decisively out-
played, the Texas Tech Matador-
checked the rush of the Simmon?
Cowboys and held them to a score-
less tie in the first annual game be-
tween these two teams played
Friday on Parramorc field. — The

He emphasized the fact that our
ideals at present are too much com-
mercialized; criticism was offered
of teachei s and parents in holding up
before the younger generation the
idea that education should be solely
for purpose of training one to
make more money. Judge Brown
stated that one's success in life can
not be measured by the aijKTunt of

CONTRACT FOR RINGS
In a junior class meeting Friday
the contract with the Stafford En-
graving Company for the senior rings
of next year was clgsed.
"This contract will be of_ triple
benefit to us," said Lucille Rodgers,
class president, "because we will have
'our rings ready at the first of next
year. There wil be no trouble of col-
Tng because we go to the com-
pany and g£t them individually. Best
of all we get a $1.'50 reduction on
each ring." "
Miss Parish: I heard a piece of
music this summer that was simply
wonderful for work' wilh dumb-bell
classes.
Everybody in Mulkey thought that
he was a drunk man. The screens
were all latched and Mrs. Turner
boldly walked to the man on tho
outside and said, "What do you want'
here, son?" 0
He courteously lifted his hat and
replied: "Pardon me but my wife is-
in Vera TutrumoVa's -room* and I'm
just waiting for them to copie
down ?"
'MAY USE, WASTE, WRECKi "LACES" IS SUBJECT
LIFE," STATES SPEAKER
with your life—you may use it, waste
it, wreck it," stated Miss Daisy
Davies, missionary worker and teach-
er, in an address on achieving a pur-
pose in life, delivered as the Thurs-
day morning chapel program at Tex-
as Woman's College.
The speaker cited instances of her
personal experiences in palaces and
humble homes, among public and pri-
vate citizens of many .nations, and
among college gjrls"in particular, as
evidence of the true happiness which
comes from setting an aim for
existance.
Miss Davies visited T. W. C. and
