On Tu.-wlay ovonlng Uio most exciting

as formed to represent tho university
against tho city Y. M. C. A. team.
The boys have had scarcoly any pract
ice for tho last thrco weeks and conse
quently were not In beat form. However
they played . good steady game through
out, though perhaps not with as much
team work as tho Christian boye, who
certainly put up a strong game In this re
pect. Promptly at 8:1G, tho game was called
by Iloferco Garrlnger, tho university boys

In tho first half three fouls wore called
on tho red men, and only ono goal thrown
by Hill. Eight fouls wero called on tho

goals woro thrown by Greon. After ten
minutes of spirited play, Doany managed
to make n goal from tho Hold, scoring two
polnti for tho whites. Five minutes later

Hold followed directly by Gutlelben, thus
making four moro points for tho unl. Just

After ten minutes, play was resumed

A. contingent. Score 7 to 7. During tho
second half, the red men again irrado
thrco fouls, and Hill throw ono goal. Tho
whites made four fouls, but no goals woro
thrown by tho reds. At tho end of twelve
minutes In which tho play was fast and
furious, Stebblns threw another goal from
tho Held, which was a "Jack" of the genus
cracker." Before tlmo was called Mor

committees Just as submitted.
1. Chlldrens' committee In response to
ii request for a. report of the chlldrens'
committee, on university settlement work,
we submit tho following.
Our committee has held weekly meet
ings at tho settlement building from 4 to C
o'clock on Saturdays, until the week of
Christmas holidays, when on account of
sickness of the lady in charge of the
houso we could not meet until last Satur
day. The attendance has been steadily In
creasing until severe weather set In, show
ing as high as eighteen at one time, and
not less than five or six.
Tho last supply of books has proved to
lo very beneficial. Our present plans aro
to give moro attention to elementary drills
and physical exercises. Mamie Mills, F.
a. Hawxby.
2. Social and entertainment committee
On January lit, tho social committee held
an Informal social at tho settlement house
to take the place of an entertainment an
nounce for the entertainment committee.
Games wero played and a general good
tlmo enjoyed. The young people entered
Into th enjoymont of the evening witn
good spirit. AIkjui twenty-five were pres
ent, hut most of them wero boys of ten
to fifteen years of age. The older young
people have not ns yet como out iln as
large number as we nau nopcu. me ioi
lowlng Tuesday eveing the entertain
ment wriH held. The weather was cold
and there was a misunderstanding about
tho tlmo of 'meeting, but over twenty wero
present and enjoyed themselves more than
at any previous meeting. Tho social eom
mltteo hns planned a series of monthly
socials, tho entertainment committer al
ternating with a special entertainment.
It. A. Campbell, W. J. Hunting.
3 Committee on education Slnco tho last
monthly report no new classes have been
formed. Tho work hns been carried on
steadily and faithfully by those who have
volunteered to teach and good success has
been reKrtod from several departments.
Some Instructors have experienced some
difficulty In gottlng steady attendance, hut
It Is hoiwd that by sending out program
of tho instruction offered, through tho
means of the visiting eommlttoce, who
have kindly volunteered their sorvicf and
by porsonal Invitation, some of the older
of tho young men nnd women may be In
duced to come and irecolvo the worlt laid
out for them.
Tho all absorbing question to tho com
mittee now is, how to secure space for
practical talks, for It Is qulto evident that
a small room will not bo suitable for the
purMso, for It will not accommodate
enough peoplo at a tlmo. Plans or sugges
tions along this lino will bo most grate
fully received.
Tho work of tho commltteeo has leen
divided as follows; Professor Thurber,
English reading nnd English; Miss Coun
tryman, drawing; Miss Purtle. music;
Miss Elnroro; mothers' and girls' oven
Ing: Mr. Fauquot, Gorman, Mr. Kuhlman
practical talks. Cora Elmore, Chan. Kuhl
man. Under provlrico of this committee a sew
ing class was begun last Saturday under
direction of tho Kings uaugmers. xnc
5. Committee on library and literature
Your committee has to submit tho fol
lowing report.
All books now In tho library aro cata
logued, with tho exception of a small num
ber which havo boon In constant circula
tion slnco they wero recolved. For tho
convenience of those In chnrgo of thobooks
however, thoy should have a more sys
tematic classification which your commM
tco Intends shall bo supplied.
Tho settlement Is indebted to Misses
Curtlss nnd Hriinor, of ihn university, for
a largo number of copies of standard
magazines. The librarian of tho olty li
brary has also collected magazines and
periodicals which will bo taken to tho set
tlement houso at once.
Somo of tho periodicals and nowsp.ipors,
while thoy are rend at tho houso, aro not
taken to the houses, as It Is Intended thoy
should lx, If tho visiting committee would
assist by taking theso papers out and dis
tributing them, thoy would no doubt bo
user" to bettor advantage than they aro at
present.
The committee Is titll looking for a few
volunteers to take charge of tho reading
room during the evenings. Mr. Fauquot
has given his time on Tuesday evenings
and Friday and Saturday evening havo
been provided for. But tho second sem
ester's work has burdened tho committee
In this to somo extent. Several students
work at tho settlement now And them
who had volunteered to take up library
solves unable to do so because of addition
al school work. The committee antici
pates hut little difficulty in finding stu
dents who will volunteer for tho other
evening?. F. A. Korsmeyer, Mabel Rlck
ctts. G. Music commlttee-Tho music committee
has divided Itsolf into three heads, social,
concert nnd Instruction. Sickness and bad
weather have lately 'interfered with tho in
struction. The concert committee has r.i
yet done nothing to our knowledge and
owing to a misunderstanding tho last so
cial had no special music J. D. McMIch
ael, Joseph Sajer.
7. Visiting committee This committee
made twenty visits during tho past month
at the houses of the people not Including
numerous calls nt the settlement house.
The committee has co-operated with the
Instruction committee In Informing the
people of 'the programs of work carried
on regularly at the Ohaham Taylor house.
Lela Wheeler, W. T. Elmore.
S. Tho committee has decided upon tho
plan and method of tho lino of work to
be followed for the present, but up to 'this
tlmo all arrangements for the work havo
not been completed.
A directory Is to be placed at tho houso
to contain the names of 'those desiring
work, so '.hat the committee may at all
times know whom to help.
A thorough canvass of tho district i'H
bo made next week and cards will bo
printed and used for this purpose. The
result of this canvass will bo entered In
the directory. From present Indications It
is men and not the women who need
work. Several wants for girls could not
bo sunnlled. An effort Is being mado to
get the co-oporatlon of the "associations
of the city for this branch of work. Ida

dally routine of university work tho
students have few oppurtunltlcs to be

At tho farther end of the room on tables
nently decorated with tulips and wound
with smllax stood two punch bowls heaped
high with delicious pineapple Ice, which

themselves. Two colored waiters dis
pensed the refreshments from theso
tables ns fast ns they could bo served,
whllo sovcral young ladles circulated
nmong tho throng furnishing Ices to
those who might otherwise havo been
overooked.
For nearly threo hours the hum of
conversation was Incessant, and if ono
could Judge by appearances a most en
joyable tlmo was experienced by all. Mrs,
Parker's private studio was open to
visitors, and many passed part of tho
tlmo most agreeably by examining tho
paintings and tho largo collections of
photographs of famous paintings found
there.
Members of Delta Tau Delta, after at
tending the reception given by tho Lad
les' faculty club, proceeded to their hall
whore an Informal dance was given. Mrs.
