At Topeka in 1911.
By rotation it would have been Midland's turn to entertain the con- test next March. But because that town is too far away from most of the colleges, . Midland declined the honor. Washburn College offered to be the host and Topeka was chosen for the contest next year. Topeka is near enough to Ottawa to assure that Ottawa will be well represented there.

MR. SHIELDS WINS FIRST IN PROHIBITION CONTEST
WITH A BIG LEAD HE OUTDIS- TANCES HIS COMPETITORS IN ORATORY AT LINDSBORG.
Mr. Nelson, of Bethany, Second, and Miss Hogrefe, of Southwestern, Third-Shields to Inter-States
By. a lead of fourteen points over his nearest competitor, John A. Shields of Ottawa University, won first place in the Kansas Intercolleg- iate Prohibition oratorical contest held at Lindsborg Wednesday night. C. Wilbur Nelson, of Bethany College, of Lindsborg, got second, and Miss Pearl Hogrefe, of Southwestern Col- lege, Winfield, third.
This is the second state oratorical contest Mr. Shields has won in the past two weeks. He got first in the intercollegiate contest at Wichita on March 11.
Mr. Shields' ranks totaled ten, those of Mr. Nelson twenty-four, and those of Miss Hogrefe twenty-five. Mr. Shields got his place with four firsts, a second and a fourth. Two firsts were earned in delivery, two in thought and composition.
He was ranked first in both thought and composition and in delivery.
Ottawa's man had great odds to
contend with. A bridge on the Mis- souri Pacific line burned out west of here and the 9 o'clock train on which the Ottawa delegation of a dozen or more was planning to go out to Linds- borg Tuesday evening was annulled. Not a single Ottawa delegate was present at the contest. The big audi- torium of Bethany College, where the contest was held, was nearly filled when the crowd of 900 students from the colleges got in. Bethany had a big delegation, a special train from Salina brought the Wesleyan crowd, and McPherson College had present nearly the entire student body.
Probably no college orator ever got his oration into shape for a contest on such short order as did - Mr. Shields his "A Plea for United Ac- tion," with which he won the prohibi- tion contest last Wednesday night. A short time before the Wichita con- test Mr. Shields was chosen by the Deinon Legein, the prohibition club of Ottawa University, to represent this college. He wrote his oration a few days before he went to Wichita. Monday he put his first real work on it. His oration is a powerful plea for the organization of a party to stand for live issues.
Mr. Shields will represent Kansas in the inter-state prohibition oratori- cal contest to be held at Oskaloosa, Iowa, on May 18th. On May 20th, he Continued on page 4.

A BIG HIT BY ORCHESTRA IN CONCERT LAST NIGHT
A DEMONSTRATION TO OTTAWA PEOPLE THAT COLLEGE HAS A WINNING ORCHESTRA.
The Ottawa University Orchestra Gave Its Eighth Annual Concert in the Chapel.
The Ottawa University orchestra made its first public appearance in Ottawa this season last night in the eighth semiannual concert in the chapel. The program was excellent and received merited applause.
The orchestra was assisted by Miss Nelle Harris, of the conserva- tory of music, and Mr. Charles Bach- mann of the Campus quartet. This was Miss Harris' first appearance at a concert at the college. She dem- onstrated her superior ability as a pianist and was enthusiastically en- cored. Mr. Bachmann was called on to take the place of Mr. Osborne, who was unable to be present. Mr. Bach- mann has a tenor voice of superior quality. He sang "Then You'll Re- member me," from Louis Balfe's "Bo- hemian Girl," and was encored.
The numbers by the orchestra were masterpieces and the way in which they were rendered called for much applause. Over half of the numbers were encored. The classical and the popular music were both appreciated. The violin solo by Robert E. Nash, the director, was especially good.
The concert had a good student pa- tronage, but there was a lack of townspeople. The orchestra is away ahead of the average amateur organi- zations and deserved better support.
The orchestra this year is directed by Robert Nash, of the Senior class, and under his leadership has develop- ed into one of the strongest college orchestras in the state. The loss of some of the valuable musical talent by graduation last year made it nec- essary to develop some new recruite, . Continued on page 5.

PUTNAM WON THROW AT OXFORD-CAMBRIDGE MEET
A KANSAS BOY, FORMERLY OF O. U., CARRIES OFF BIG HONORS.
Putnam Has a Record Also for Super- ior Scholarship, That Few Rhodes Men Have.
George E. Putnam, a former Ottawa University student, and a Kansas Rhodes scholar to Oxford, won the hammer throw in the Oxford-Cam- bridge meet last Friday, establishing a new record of 148 feet, 8 inches.
The 120 yard hurdle event was pull- ed down by M. T. McDonald, another Rhodes scholar. The time was 16. seconds.
Putnam was at Ottawa from the fall of '04 to the spring of '06. He left. here at the end of his first semester of the sophomore year. It is said that he left Ottawa because the facul- ty would not allow him to carry as much work as he wanted.
While' Putnam was here he made some good records with the hammer and bettered them while at K. U.
During the football season of his last year at K. U., he played guard on the team, notwithstanding parent- al objection.
Putnam was only 19 years old when he graduated from Kansas Uni- versity. He held scholarships in both Harvard and Yale for high standing in all studies.
After a year at Yale Putnam won the Rhodes scholarship for Kansas. He is now a student at Lincoln Col- lege, Oxford. He is specializing in political economy.
The record of Putnam is a phenom- enal one. He last year completed two years' work at Oxford in one, and is now attempting to complete the work of a year and a half in one year. It is probable that no Rhodes scholar ever went to Oxford, from America or any other country, better equipped both mentally and physically to meas- ure up to Cecil Rhodes' ideal of man- hood.
