Under Auspices of Y. M. C. A. Next Week
Ben Oertly, president of the Y. M.
C.	A., has just received some data concerning Raymond Robins, who is going to address the students of the University on the nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first of this month. Mr. Robins, starting out as a poor boy in the south, worked in the mines until he saved enough money to go to college and finally received a diploma from an eastern law college. He was admitted to the California bar at the age of thirty and soon established a legal reputation. Just then came the gold strike in Alaska and Mr. Robins leaving his practice here went to Alaska and finally made a "strike" which yielded him a small fortune. He returned to the states and thereafter devoted his life to the up.lift of humanity and developed into one of the hest speakers in the United States. He has spent much time and done much of his great work in the notorious seventeenth ward of Chicago.
Here he spent fifteen years helping to alleviate conditions in a ward which having an area of one square mile contains eighty thousand people with twenty different nationalities. For the last ten years he has been very active in the political and social problems of the country. He was chairman of the Progressive convention of 1M12 which nominated Theodore Roosevelt. He has been touring the country speaking to the students of the leading colleges and becoming a potent influence in their lives.
Theodore Roosevelt says, "There is not a man in the country who can

the final meet of a series of contests between the freshmen and the local “prep” schools. The Manual Arts team at present holds the title of state champion, and will probably give the Trojans a harder fight than they have yet had.
The "frosh” have shown decided class in their meets so far, and have not had much difficulty in winning, although the Hollywoood lads gave them something of a scare.

In the 100-yard dash, the Toilers will count on George Woods to give the Lamport twins a hard race for first honors. Woods lias run the century in 10 3-5 seconds, and Coach Legda is confident that he will he able to better this mark before the season is over.
The 440-yard dash should prove to be an exciting event. Cook, the former Manual star, will be pitted against Newman, his old team mate. Cromwell figures that Cook will win hy about a yard.
