The Wrestling Match
The wrestling match, which will
take place to-morrow night, between
the Sophomores and the Freshmen,
promises to be one of the closest
contests seen here in many years.
The Freshmen have some of the
best kind of material from which to
choose, and their men are showing
good spirit by turning out for the
trials in large numbers.
Although lacking the advantage
of experience, which their oppon
ents have acquired, the Freshmen
are showing great skill on the mat,
and are making evident that there
will be no "easy thing" to-morrow
night. Twenty-four Freshmen are
out trying for the light weight
match—that shows considerable
spirit of the proper kind. The
Sophomores do not have so many
out practicing ; but the greater part
of those have had more or less ex
perience, and expect to show the
new men some of the finer points of
the art. There is no doubt but that
this match will be worth watching,
and that the winning team will retain
a hearty respect for their less for
tunate opponents. It would be
foolish to predict victory for either
side. Let the best team win !
The Agricultural Society
The Agricultural Society held its
first meeting of the year on Monday,
Sept. 17. This meeting was devoted
to a discussion of the plans for the
year. Dr. Armsby welcomed the
new men into the society, and spoke
encouragingly of the work which had
been already accomplished. Meet
ings will be held every two weeks,
and various agricultural problems will
be discussed. The officers of the so
ciety are: Groff, 'O7, president;
Ross, 'OB, vice president; White,

urer ; Prof. Mairs, corresponding
secretary. -

Trials for the Collegian Board
The election of F. K. Brewster to
the managership of the Collegian
leaves a vacancy on the editorial
staff, which must be filled. The
work outlined for this vacant.posi
tion makes it necessary to issue a
call for candidates. Juniors. Sopho
mores and Freshmen are elgibile,
and the one or ones showing the
best all-around ability in three trials
will be chosen.
The editors assure each man of a
fair chance. Favoritism, particular
ly in a case like this, means sure
disaster and brings discredit upon
those who have charge of the enter
prise.
Willingness to work, ability to
obtain news items, style of compo
sition and general make-up of the
trial manuscripts will be the factors
governing the board in its choice.
Let every man turn out and do his
best !
