Olympic To Frosh After Hard Battle With Sophomores
D Blue Cap, Official Insignia of First Year Men, Will Not Appear on Hill Next Spring
The perpendicular rays of the noon sun day shone down upon the Stadium Field where faricous freshmen and fiery sophomores, ancient rivals were engaged in dutious conflict last Saturday. When the debris of the battle was cleared up, and the last combatants had released their hold on the war-rings, the freshmen were victorious; they will not have to wear their official insignia, the skull can, in the Spring.
Deeds of valuer were performed by both sides. Once a sextet of sopho moves sitsed one of the rings in the pane, another one falls and fought their way to their own portents. grin in spite of the stubbiness resistance which the latter put up.
On the o her hand, the yearlings were not behind in deeds that will be recorded in history.
It was decided to call the war-ring game at the end of the first half. The combatants were unable to continue out of sheer exhaustion. Of the five rings, the freshman had four deep into their rivals' territory, while the latter had one on the fresh twenty-19. At the end, the seventh 22 was in favor of the first next month.
Then the second year men won two events straight—the 100-yard dash and the half-mile relay. Fisher Norton, and Graham, sophomores finish in the order named, with McInery, freshman cam in fourth.
In the half-rule relay, the year lines did not have a chance. Although McMurray, freshman, was able to give his mate a load of three yards, beating Graham, Dunning, somehow moved the age and gave Newton a ton yard lead. Newton was so far in the land that he stopped for both on the way and walked in wards to snare.
Two-of-War Decides Victory
Tug-of-War Decides Victory
The scoring for the sophoraopes comes from the victor. There were three classes, the 140 pound, 160 pound and unlimited weight. The freshmen won all three divisions of this event, and victory was theirs. The first two classes were considered as one event in the scoring, and the second as an event in the cage ball which was originally planned.
If they had a small chance to win the first two classes, the sophomores had no chance in the unlimited. They let forth a shout of dismay when Ossie Brush, 215 pound guard of Coach Spring's eleventh, got on the end of the rope and pulled the fresh to victory.

English Professor Attends Teachers' Council In South
Dr. Hopkins Gives Detaile
Account of Work Being
Accomplished by
Surveys
Dr. Edwin M. Hopkins of the department of English has just returned from Chattanooga, Tenn., where he attended the annual meeting of the National Council of Teachers of English. Declor Hopkins was one of the founders of this council and has been a director and associate editor of the annual conference at different times. In 1916 he was the president of the council.
The council is a body of delegates and representatives from geographical sections and teachers' organizations including all parts of the United States. Its purpose is to make and publish studies of pedagogical and research problems in the touching of English, and it has been the accepted agenda to work with them. That character has been refined. It was organized in 1911 and in at the same time was established the English Journal.
English Teachers Undermaid
English Teachers Underpaid
A general survey made by this council during the past year has revealed that 30% of English teaching is less than that of any other subjects, according to Doctor Hopkins. This is very distinguisher to the teaching of all English, and especially composition, and the council hopes by further investigations to better condition that
The demand for the surveys concerning preliminary studies made by this council have been in great demand during the past year, Professor Hopkins was informed by the officers and directors of the council at Chattanooga in the recent convention.

Graduates Conduct Survey.
Surveys for the Research Committee of the Graduate School of the University of Arizona, conducted by the team with the hope of improving the conditions under which English is being taught in Kansas as well as other sections of the country.

In many of the sections of this book, the Bureau of Education has co-operated. This council has also worked in conjunction with the Modern Language Association in making reports and surveys.
New Faculty Ruling For Sophomore Class
(Continued from page 3)
Reports from the faculty seemed to indicate, Dean Branfield said, that the situation in regard to absences was improving, that he had in regard to excesses of absences, even though no excessive absences was attached, had had a good effect. A penalty is necessary, the committee on scholarship believes, in order to make any absence rule thoroughly effective.
Grade Reductions For Absences
The committee has considered recommending to the faculty a system of handling absences based on the principle that students who are absent from class necessarily take important portions of work and re-credit for absences should be made either by reducing the student's program or requiring additional hours for graduation.
Grade Reductions For Absences
The system of negative credits in force at the University of Missouri, which penalizes a student an extra credit for graduation because of excessive absences, is being discussed by committee. Negative credit would also be given for absences before and after holidays and for additional absences
However, no formal recommendations on this subject have yet been made to the college faculty.
which are not explained satisfactorily. A suggestion was made that a committee on absences be appointed.
The committee on the improvement of undergraduate scholarship consists of Duan J. G, Brandt; chairman; Prof. W. H. Hunter, Prof. Albert L. Carr; Prof. P. R. Lawson, associate to the college, and Prof. F. B. Daims.
