OREGON UNIVERSITY OF OREGON VOLUME 11 EUGENE, OREGON, SATURDAY, FEB. 26, 1910 No. 34 FLOOR 10 BE WAXED FOR SENIOR DANCE GOOD TIME IS ASSURED TO ALL WHO ATTEND THE DANCE If Floor is Not Slick, It Will be Given in Armory Instead of Gymnasium. Those who were disappointed with the dance on the new Gymnasium floor last Saturday night will probably change their opinion of it if they are so for tonate as to attend the senior dance next Saturday, for the committee in charge are taking steps to make the door the best ever seen in Eugene. The trouble was that wax would not coat the oil that the floor had been treated with when it was laid. This oil is to be removed by thorough washing with soda water and turpentine and then wax will be applied. Hayward has found that this process will not injure the floor and will keep a force of men working on it all week. If the floor cannot be made suitable for dancing the committee declare they will not use the gymnasium but will hold the dance down town in the arm ory. Every effort is being made to make this party a success. It is to absolute ly be informal. No dress suits or tuxe dos will be allowed. Those in charge want it to be just like the old dances were in the armory before it became too crowded. Friends of the Univer sity and faculty members are cordially invited. The grand march will start at eight o'clock led by President Oliver Hus ton. A good time is guaranteed or money back Oregon May Lose Game Unless some agreement is reached in the near future, Manager Zednick, of the University of Washington, declares lie will take on Washington State Col lege for a game of football on Novem ber 12th, in place of the University of Oregon. That is the only date open on the Washington schedule, and un less some definite action is taken by Oregon in the next few days, Wash ington will sign a two-year contract with the State College, the first game to be played at Spokane and the one the year following at Seattle. Stanford Man at Assembly Mr. R. C. French, formerly Presi dent of the Oregon State Normal School at Weston, will speak in As sembly next Wednesday on educational topics. Mr. French is now the educa tional director of the Portland Y. M. C A. He is a graduate of Stanford University. The Dormitory Club will give a soc ial dance tonight for their members and friends.

U. of PENNSYLVANIA WANTJ AIRSHIP RACE The Aero club of the University of Pennsylvania hopes to have its new aeroplane, “Pennsylvania 1,” finished within a month. The machine is be ing built by several graduates under the direction of L. J. Lesh, an expert on heavier than air flying machines. The craft is a bi-plane and embodies several new ideas in design. It will be the only two-propeller chainless ma chaine in existence. Challenging in matched contest the aeronautic organization of any other college, the University of Pennsylvania Aero club stands ready to meet any air-boat or craft of any description, entered in the first intercollegiate avia tion meet by any university in the Unit ed States. MANAGER HAS {1500 10 SPEND ON OREGANA DRAWING CONTEST AND SUBSCRIPTION LISTS CLOSE MARCH 15 By the united efforts of the editors and management the work on this year’s Junior Annual is progressing rapidly. A fund of $1500 toward the editing of the hook, is assured. This means $500 over the amount expended by last year’s Oregana. Editor Robison desires all members of the senior class to hand in, not later than March 10th, the ,t4tle of their thesis and a summary of all they have done while in the University—that is, an outline of the part they have taken in student activities, such as school work, athletics, class and student body offices. The members of the alumni who de sire an Annual are requested to send in their names and addresses to Man ager 1). L. Dobie, in care of Avava Club. When the book is out they will be entitled to a copy at the regular price of $1.50. On the 15th of March the drawing contest will close. Some good draw ings have been received, but more are desired. Anyone who original talent is requested to try for the prize offer ed by the management, and at the same time help out the Oregana. The editor also desires any quotations appropos of seniors. All fraternity and club mem bers who have not had their pictures taken must get ‘hem in at once. Subscription^ are coming in fairly well but there are still nearly 400 stu dents who have not subscribed. The delinquents stand an excellent chance of losing out unless an immediate ef fort is made to secure the best Junior Annual ever published iby the Univer sity. The Khoda Khan fraternity will give a reception tonight to the students and faculty of the University in their beau tiful new home on Thirteenth and Ald er streets. A negro janitor at the University of Missouri threatened to quit recently for fear a comet might hit one of the Uni versity buildings. EXEGUIIVE COMMITTEE FACES HARD PROBLEM UNCERTAIN HOW TO SE CURE INTEREST ON TENNIS DEBT If Tennis Club Gives Security for Interest, It is Their Debt—If Not, Students May Lose. The Executive Committee of the As sociated Students is having a difficult problem in interpreting the motion passed last Wednesday in regard to the new tennis court. As the motion passed they are required to appropriate three hundred dollars and stand behind a debt for five hundred more. The motion was passed, however, only on condition that the Tennis Club should be required to pay the interest on this debt. The ques tion therefore arises, how much secur ity must the latter give that the interest will always be; paid? If the Tennis Club gives good busi ness security for the payment of the interest, they will in effect be contract ing the debt, and the students, by neg lecting to pay the principal, could for ever shift it onto the club. If, on the other hand, the Executive Committee does not demand security, there is dan ger that the Student Body may find itself bearing the burden of both prin cipal and interest. There are many who insist that it is the duty of the Executive Committee to see that the students are secured fully for the interest on the debt. The Tennis Club, they claim, is only a small organization and has very little to hold it together. The interest, amounting to about forty dollars a year will tax each member about two dollars. Many of the members are liable to draw out rather than pay this amount and leave those who remain a still heavier bur den. Under these circumstances, it is doubtful whether the club can hold its members together and there will be no one to hold responsible if it breaks up. This is the problem the Executive Committee is wrestling with and as yet they are unable to see their way clear through it. They may be forced to seek legal advice in the matter. ^5 s|s # sf: sH % # sjs sfc # :H sH * # * EXTRA—The senior play * * will not be given April 2 as * * announced elsewhere in this * * issue of The Emerald.

Sargent, of the local Unitarian Church on subjects of interest to stu dents of the University. The first will be given next Friday evening at 7:00 o'clock on the subject of “Honesty.” Mr. Sargent is a very entertaining speaker, and promises a profitable even ing to all who can attend. The subjects of his subsequent addresses have not yet been announced, but they will be given each week on Friday evening at the same time. The meetings will be held in McClure Hall. An especially interesting program is also being prepared for the meeting when Professor Howe gives his lecture before the Association.

YOUNG COLLEGE FOLK GO TO HYMEN'S ALTAR PAUL WILLOUGHBY AND MISS HAZEL HUFF ARE MARRIED Friends of Paul Willoughby, ex-’09, and Miss Hazel Huff, both prominent in University circles, were much surpris ed today to learn that the young peo ple had stolen a march on them last night and were quietly married at the Episcopal Church, with Rev. Mr. Ham mon officiating. The marriage was the culmination of a pretty romance of several years’ standing. Though their friends have known for some time that they were engaged, preparations for the wedding were kept quiet so successfully that only a few who were let into the secret knew anything about it. The wedding took place at seven a’clock in St. Mary’s church at Seventh and Olive streets. Miss Huff was at tended by Miss Rae Woodruff, one of laer sorority sisters, while Abe Bangs was with Mr. Willoughby. They were the only two persons who witnessed the ceremony. Mr. Willoughby, who is a Son of Dr. R. L. Willoughby, is a member of the Sigma Nu fraternity, and for some time has been with the firm of Polders and Davis at the Haberdasher. Miss Huff is a music student at the University, and a member of the Chi Omega sor ority. Her sorority sisters did not even know that she was to be married last night. Both young people have lived in Eugene many years. Mr. and Mrs. Willoughby will live at 80 Seventh street.

Showing a ileal of improvement over former games, the ’Varsity basketball team secured an even break with the fast University of Idaho team. The game Wednesday night was won by Oregon 20 to 12. This was by far the better game of the two, as the playing by both sides was faster and more con sistent. The visitors were older and obvi ously more experienced, but seemed to have trouble in hiding the baskets. Stine, Ruth and Jamison missed but few shots. Captain Stine’s work was especially good, as he played over the entire floor and time after time secured shots under the very nose of his guard. The game was very rough, which per haps accounts for the scores. Only eight fouls were called, though many more were noticeable from the gallery. The kicks from Grogan, the Idaho coach, howver, were unwarranted, as Idaho fouled as much as the locals. Thursday’s game was won by Idaho, 21 to 17. Oregon seemed a bit lacking in “pip” and Tdaho did not have much trouble annexing the game, though the ’Varsity showed a flash of form at the very last and threw five field goals in rapid fire style. In this game Jamison was Oregon’s best point winner with three field goals to his credit. Curtis, the brilliant Idaho forward, was respon sible for thirteen points. The line-up: TDAHO OREGON Riley c Ruth Curtis f Stine (c) Chagnon f Jamison McWililams g Neal Ludstrom g Elliott Edmunson (c) g Albany and Eugene played prelimi nary games both evenings. Eugene won both and now claims the state champi onship. The scores for the two games were: 27 to 23 and 23 to 22. These “prep” games were fast and interesting. Eugene won mainly because they were heavier. Line-up: ALBANY Engstrom Stalnaker Dooley Carnegie Bigbee c f f g g EUGENE L. Coke G.
