COLLEGE RECEIVES TWO FELLOWSHIPS The following statement was issued by President Butterfield on the business trans acted by the State Board of Agriculture at its meeting on December 16. T he business before the State Board of Agriculture was mostly of a routine char acter. H. J.

Rogers, an extensive fruit grower of Beulah, Michigan, was made assistant in horticulture for the winter term. He will give his services to the work of com piling important data and production costs for a cherry orchard. G. A. Nahstoll, of the extension service in the department of economics, was grant ed leave of absence for next summer to act as sales manager of the Celery Grow ers' corporation of Muskegon. VARSITY TAKES TWO OF HOLIDAY GAMES One victory and two defeats marked the basketball team's activities during the holidays. After putting Olivet and Adrian out of the way in handy fashion prior to the closing of the fall term, coupled with injuries to the only three veterans from last year's team, Kobs' attempts at build ing the State five for the Chicago and Northwestern games had varied results. With a team composed of sophomores, the Varsity was able to stow away the Maroon quintet in the closing minutes of play, after the Chicagoans had led at half time 16-8 and had retained a lead until five minutes before the close of the game. The wTork of Russo, '28, Jackson, was out standing throughout this game. Playing at guard, his dribbling, clever foot work re and accurate shooting were sponsible for State's comeback. largely Against Northwestern two days later the team was defeated 42-13. The Mercer game on New Year's Day showed that Kobs still had a successful combination to discover. Team work was lacking as well as a passing game. This contest ended 37-31 in favor of the visitors. With the threat of ineligibility hanging the sophomores upon over the heads of whom Kobs was counting as his best mat erial this year, prospects of a comeback are decidedly uncertain and improbable. Cap tain Hackett, Fredericks and Marx are still on the injured list although slowly into shape. With Russo, getting back Jagnow, Drew and Fouts ineligible, Kobs will have only second and third string men with whom to build his team. Make-up examinations held last Saturday may have adjusted some of the scholarship worries of the coach, although it is certain that all four will not be able to pull through. Of the remaining men on the squad, none has made a letter in basketball and few have ever broken into a major game. Bremer, a lanky sophomore, is showing some promise of developing into a for ward. Cole, another forward, is a pros pect, but not of the calibre needed for the big games. Kidman is receiving the at tention of the coach as a prospect for a forward berth. Hood, of last year's fresh man squad, alone of these men seems to be able to stand the pace in real fast com pany. REIMER, '03, WRITES ON PEAR DISEASE the material contained F. C. Reimer, '03, superintendent of the Southern Oregon agricultural exeperiment station, is the. author of a bulletin recently issued by the Oregon Agricultural college on "Blight Resistance in Pears and Charac In teristics of Pear Species and Stocks". preparing the in booklet Reimer made extensive studies and observations and the results are set forth in ninety pages of printed matter includ ing a large number of photographs and tables of various sorts. The introduction states that "pear blight is probably the most destructive disease affecting fruit trees in America. This disease attacks the blos soms, shoots, large branches, trunks and root systems." He finds, however, that his investigations are chiefly of value to south ern Oregon growers because of climatic conditions peculiar to that section. Page p ? ? m VIEWS AND COMMENT The il 4. S. C.

It needs the type of men willing to do the necessary work without first carefully inspecting the ground ahead of that rewards be posted where they can be carefully valued in respect to the worth of the returns. them and demanding It may not be that this lack of selfish, or unselfish, interest is prevalent at the Col lege, but there are indications that students are not willing to enter into the spirit of competition with the proper attitude and it seems that this spirit has grown stronger of late years. The remedy lies in instruction but that instruction must usually come be fore the student enters college. Alumni can aid, high school teachers can help and the College staff can add the argument but certainly something should be done to bring about an improvement. its weight to The M. S. C.

BIG TEN SUMMARIES LAUD VARSITY ELEVEN The January the Wisconsin issue of Alumni Magazine contains a review of the In football season of games commenting upon played, the contest with Michigan State is given more than usual mention. The sum mary follows: that the various institution. "Against Michigan State, the Badgers found a fighting foe who was more trouble some than had been anticipated. For the first time in many weeks, the Badger goal line was crossed and by a nonconference foe. The game resolved itself into a con test between two elevens possessing an equally effective offense. The final score of 21 to 10, shows that it was a busy after noon for both teams as they clawed each other up and down the field. Driving off tackle smashes by McAndrews and Doyle Harmon, plus some neat open field work by Crofoot, gave the Badgers their three touchdowns. All points scored by Michi gan State were the reults of the efforts of one Smith. That young man possesses all that can be asked of a football player. His first offering was a drop kick, successfully negotiated from the 40 yard line. Later in the game it was his work that carried the ball to the Badger's five yard line, from which point he crashed over for a touch down. His great tenth point for the invaders." toe added the In speaking of football reviews, Coach Yost's analysis of the work of his team shows that during the season Michigan's opponents completed 28 forward passes. Of this number State gets credit for 16. Of the 21 first downs credited to opponents, State made ten. In the matter of punting, Michigan averaged 34 yeards while State averaged 34.7 yards.

Record this dredge started work the Mayor When of Nome, Alaska, declared a holiday and all of the inhabitants attended. The 'Torty-Niner" of '26 Massive electric dredges now mine Alaskan gold. At almost incredible temperatures they dig 60 feet deep and scoop out 200,000 cubic yards a month. From the Arctic re gions to the Equator, G-E equipment is called upon to perform many hard tasks once done by hand but now better done by electricity. General Electric supplied all electrical equipment for two such dredges now operating at Nome. A D i e s e l - e l e c t r ic power plant, four miles distant, furnishes the energy for a total of 592 h.p. in electric motors for each dredge. To cope with winter conditions G-E cable was chosen to carry the power to the dredges. GENERAL ELECTRIC
