Athletics Q Q EELING that it had not accomplished all that it might have in past E E years, the Young Men's Christian Association broadened its field this E E year, and added new activities to its program. Q E The annual reception to Freshmen which was under the charge of the E Y. W. and Y. M. committee, was unusually successful, and prepared the men Q E in a social way for the men's mixer. Boxing, wrestling, cider and doughnuts H E were the features of the mixer, and the participants left, feeling sore muscles Q and black eyes as well as better acquainted. . E Q For sometime the association has felt the need of a committee of faculty E E men and interested business men to act as advisors. This year the need Q became so great that action was taken and the following men were selected to Q E serve as the advisory committee to the Y. M. C. A.: President W. C. Weir, E Q W. J. McCready, Omar Fendall, Dr. H. L. Bates, H. F. Wilson, Dr. J. S. E E Bishop, Professor F. C. Taylor, and Rev. VV. W. Blair. Q The Religious Meetings Committee has provided interesting programs E Q at the regular devotional meeting period. Several periods were given over Q E to the study of Fosdick's Manhood 'of the Master . Frequently speakers E Q either from Forest Grove or Portland have been secured and each brought a E worth while message. Q E Plans were made to make deputation visits to nearby high schools, and a E Q deputation team was organized with that end in view. Under the .direction E Q of Charles Traschel and James Stewart, a Y basketball squad was organized Q and proved its ability in two practice games. Q Q Another new feature of the year's work was the organization of a male H Q quartette. The Young Men's Christian Association is advancing its work and Q Q will continue to advance through the year. .

E Told m a Chinese Garden 3 Q Saturday night, January thirteenth, the Theta Nu Society presented the E Q clever playlet, Told in a Chinese Garden. The play, written by Constance E Wilcox, has its setting in the garden of a wealthy Chinese, Wang Chu Mo, E Q who is about to give his only daughter in marriage to Poa Ting Fang, a crafty, E Q unscrupulous old man. The unromatic life of a wealthy Chinese maiden is E E shown, and her daily lessons with governesses who are little more human than E Q the green eyed god himself. Worst of all is prospective marriage with a E Q man whom she holds only in contempt. Then in the midst of her studies enters H Q a young gardener, who sings songs of his childhood home, of the bees, and of the Q Q flower fairies. Q E A very valuable ring belonging to Poa Ting Fang is lost in the garden, Q E and the house of Wang is in the compromising position of losing a well-made Q E match. Later, when the ring is produced, the alleged gardener proves himself H Q to be the nephew of Poa Ting Fang, and lawful owner of the estate confis- Q E cated by him. Q Q Poa Ting Fang, gracefully escapes from the situation, leaving his nephew Q Q to lead the girl he had pretended to love, into a new life of love and happiness, Q E in a garden' where there are plenty of bees. E Q Much success of the play was due to the clever staging and artistic color Q combinations. The stage, decorated in Wisteria and plum blossoms, with a E Q miniature fountain, and wealth of potted plants, gave an ideal setting for the E Q characters, while the real costumes added that touch of oriental beauty that H E made the play so effective.
