HAYWARD SECURES
REVISION
Basketball and Baseball Schedules
Also Drawn Up at Early Seat
tle College Conference.
Bill Hayward returned this morning
from Seattle, where, as Oregon’s repre
sentative, he attended the Pacific North
west basketball and baseball conference.
Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Pullman
and Whitman were represented. Cor
vallis declined to enter the race for the
basketball championship, but will par
ticipate in the baseball series.
Trainer Hayward was successful in
securing the adoption of the outside
rules he preferred. The northern col
leges locked horns over which of the
two rules, intercollegiate or A. A. U.,
out of bounds rule.
The agreements entered into supple
menting the regulations of last year
were: That the inter-collegiate rules
shall govern all basketball games, except
that the A. A. U. out of bounds rule
be substituted for the inter-collegiate
out of bounds rule.
That the guarantee for each game shall
be seventy-five ($75) dollars.
That officials must be chosen rfom
men in the home town, except in case
of a mutual agreement by the managers
of both teams.
That all substitutes, coaches and train
ers be required to remain seated during
the progress of the game.
That the championship shall be de
termined on a percentage basis.
The following is Oregon’s basketball
schedule: Whitman, at Walla Walla,
February 6 and 7; Idaho, at Moscow,
February 8 and 9; Washington State
College, at Pullman, February 10 and
11; Washington, at Eugene, February
17 and 18; Pullman, at Eugene, February
27 and 28; Washington, at Seattle, Mar.
3 and 4.
The baseball schedule was arranged
as follows: Whitman, at Eugene, April
14 and IS; Washington, at Seattle, April
17 tnd 18; F'ullman, at Pullman, April
19 and 20; Idaho, at Moscow, April 21
and 22; Pullman, at Eugene, May 3 and
4; Idaho, at Eugene, May 12 and 13.
SIX ADVISED TO STAY
HOME AFTER HOLIDAYS
Although the exact number is not
definitely known, there will probably be
six students in the University advised
not to return after the holidays, because
of the hopeless condition of their work.
The names of the students are not
known, but it is given out that one Glee
Club man will fall under the class of
hopeless “drags,” and consequently will
not be allowed to make the Glee Club
trip into Eastern Oregon, scheduled
for the near future. Every effort will be
made by the members of the faculty to
bring the poor students to realize the
seriousness of their condition. Those
"'bo are advised not to return after the
holidays will be considered utterly hope
less.
Art Exhibit to be Here
If the matter of expense is settled
satisfactorily, the Elton art exhibit will
be displayed in the University library
Friday, December 9. There are about
t" o hundred reproductions of great mas
terpieces in the collection, and it is con
sidered one of the best in the country.
“PREP” EDITORS TO RELAY
EMERALD READERS NEWS
In accordance with its policy of en
larging the paper's scope, the Emerald
is instituting a department of high
school correspondence.
Student correspondents are being ap
pointed in twenty-five Oregon high
schools, who will send the Emerald
weekly news letters. In return, their
school will receive five subscriptions to
the Emerald.
The State University is the logical
head of the educational system and it
is hoped by this means to bring the “U”
and the high schools into closer rela
tions with each other.

The girls of the Y. W. C. A. are
busy preparing for the bazaar which
they are planning to hold at the Pres

candy. Alice Stoddard will have charge
of the art booth. Jessie Bibee will pre
side at the fancy work booth, and Helen
Beach at the candy booth. A real Jap

Miller, is one of the novel features of
the bazaar.
The bazaar begins Friday afternoon
at one o’clock, and will close at ten
o’clock of the same evening. “The girls
have many pretty things and a great
deal of good candy,” said one of them
this afternoon, “and they hope the Uni
versity people will patronize them.”
Beta Theta Pi celebrated the first an
niversary of its chapter at Oregon by
holding an initiation at its chapter house
Friday night.
LAUREANS HOLD TRIAL
R. M. Hyder Will Answer to Se

The central feature of the Latirean
program for next Saturday will be a
mock court, in which the case charging
R. M. Hyder with the crime of accept
ing bribes from the Philos to keep men
off of the Laurean program, with the
purpose of killing the society, will be

guilt of the defendant.
“We will stop at nothing short of
conviction,” said Attorney Spencer to
day.
After the trial, officers for the next
quarter will be elected. Visitors will be
admitted.
“An Innocent Villain” is the sketch
which will be put on by the Dramatic
Club Thursday evening of next toeek.

Young, Rachel Applegate and Lila
Clark.
HIANUELTAKES STOMACH
FOR A CHEMISTRY LAB
SIGMA CHI COOK MIXES
ACID AND PERMANGAN
ATE OF POTASH
Tired of World, Manuel Francisco
Tries to End Life, but is Dis
covered and Saved.
The Sigma Chi cook, Manuel Fran
cisco, sprung a new sensation in college
life when he tried to shufflle off this
mortal coil by way of a mild blend of
carbolic acid and permanganate of pot
ash.
Manuel, who, by the way, is a Porto
Rican and an ex-vaudevillist, had been
sulky for several days, and Monday
Ralph Newland found the following
note:
Edward Bailey, ’13, Elected
Unanimously for All-Northwest
Team.
“Ralph Newland—Yon wont see me.
Go baseball field grandstand. Good bye
boys, forever.
“Manuel Francisco.
“I kill myself.”
After leaving the house he went to
the grandstand, where he swallowed
enough carbolic acid to kill twelve men,
and then an equally powerful dose of
potassium permanganate. But instead
of killing him in a few minutes, the two
chemicals precipitated and merely made
him terribly sick, so sick that he was
rendered unconscious.
With the note telling where he could
be found, was another addressed to a
Senor Juan Mateo, in Porto Rico, writ
ten in bad Spanish, which partially ex
plains his attempt at suicide. Trans
lated it reads something as follows:
“Am sending you a picture of myself.
It does not look as I used to, not be
cause I was hungry or work too hard,
but because of women. I divorce my
wife I married at Boise at Portland.
I quarreled today with my woman at
Eugene.”
Those who attended the Sophomore
dance will remember him as the waiter
who served refreshments. He was by
no means an ordinary cook, and is said
to have previously led a checkered ca
reer as soldier of fortune on some vaud
eville circuit.
O
FEW TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF SPECTATOR PRIZE
There have been, to date, but few
contributions entered in the prize con
test recently inaugurated by the “Spec
tator,'’ of Portland, for the students
of the University, and it appears that
its terms are not generally understood.
Frizes of $4.00 and $2.00 are offered for
the best and second best contributions
which may be either articles, news sto
ries, editorials or verse. No restric
tions are placed on subject matter or
length. Papers are to be handed to
Secretary Prescott, Villard Hall, before
Saturday noon of each week.
SELEC1 COLLINS SKETCH
Dramatic Club Will Produce
“Playing the Game”
In January
Dean Collins’ sketch, “Playing the
Game,” was selected by the Dramatic
Clnli committee yesterday for the club’s
second production, the latter part of
January.
The playlet is a three-scene sketch
of college and fraternity life, done with
the iauthor’s characteristic cleverness.
The action centers about an imaginary
Oregon-Idaho football game, with the
inevotable love affair thrown in. No
women are required in the lineup, how
ever, as the girl figures only in a tele
phone conversation. The play has a
rollicking, “College Widow” swing to
it, that is certain to insure its popu
larity as a college production.
A tentative selection of the cast was
also made by the committee from the
small list of masculine club members.
The fotball hero will be impersonated
by Sap Latourette. The other leads
are, Forrest Dunton, Charles Robison,
“Ro-Peep" Lamm, Ralph Moores, Cass
Kennedy, Raphael Geisler, Francis Cur
tis and Edward McConnell.
GLEE STARTS THURSDAY
Albany, Salem, Vancouver and
Portland to Be Played
The Glee Club will leave on its initial
tour Thursday noon. The program is as
follows: Thursday night at Albany, Fri
day night at Vancouver, Saturday night
the big night at the Heilig in Fortland.
Salem will be played Monday evening.
In this way there will be little inter
ference with the studies of the men and
they are -anticipating an enjoyable trip.
Manager Stine hopes to make the trip
a financial success in order to offset the
expenses of the trip to Eastern Oregon
later in the year, which will be expen
sive because of the refusal of the O. R.
& N. to grant reduced rates.
Reports from Albany and Salem indi
cate capacity houses. The boys will
sing in the hign schorls of all the towns
visited, and aside from this they have
been invited to fill the assembly hour
at Willamette.
Fritz Dean, last year president of the
Junior class, spent the week end at the
Alpha Tau Omega house, helping his
frat brothers put their Freshmen through
their initiation stunts.
Mr. Horace Hornstein, who lately
entered Oregon from the University of
Vienna, is mourning the death of his
father. The news was received only
this morning.
A LA CARTE MEALS AT
DORMITORY CAFETERIA
FOURTH FLOOR WILL BE
ADDED TO STRUC
TURE ALSO
In Accord With Decreased Liv
ing Movement, Radical Chang
es to be Made in Dorm.
In connection with the general move
ment to reduce the cost of living for
Oregon students, it is planned to en
tirely remodel the men’s dormitory.
Another entire floor will be added
above the present third floor, making
the Dorm a four story structure, which
will add sixteen or eighteen rooms.
I his will provide accommodations for
twenty or thirty more students.
By this change, and with the increas
ing number of club houses, it is hoped
to provide club accommodations for all
out of town students.
In addition to the enlargement of the
Dormitory, the eating room will be com
pletely rearranged. The present kitch
en and pantries will be torn out to make
room for a large, airy “cafeteria,” capa
ble of accommodating a large number.
The present dining room will be run" as
usual. Thus the students will have the
option of “table de hote” or “a la carte”
meals, and may at the cafeteria secure
food to satisfy all tastes and pocket
books.
These eating places will be run without
any profit whatever, as part <|f the move
ment to provide wholesome, nourish
ing foods at minimum cost. F'rofessor
Sweetser is now testing various foods
for nutritive qualities. Ry this means
it is planned to provide food equal in
nourishment to that now served, at a
20 to 40 per cent reduction of cost.
A cold storage plant will be erected
between the Gym and Dorm, and the
year’s supplies purchased at wholesale
and stored. A considerable item will
thus he eliminated from the cost of
students ’“eats.”
MRS. PENNELL SPEAKS
ON PICTURE SERMONS
The Y. W. C. A. program Monday
afternoon consisted of a talk by Mrs.
Brown, a solo by Edna Miller, and a
talk by Mrs. Pennell on “The Ministry
of a Picture.”
Mrs. Pennel illustrated her point, that
a picture may reveal something or ele
vate one’s ideals, by citing as examples
of pictures that have performed missions,
Raphael’s “Sistine Madonna,” and one
of Carol’s landscapes. She gave an ac
count of the life of each artist, and then
indicated the inspiration, beauty and
power of each of these two canvases,
so different, and yet producing related
effects.
At this meeting, also, it was voted to
send a note of cheer and some flowers
to the girls who are ill.
Vernon Sparks and Tom Hawthorne,
son of Prof. Hawthorne, both ex-’04
students, have formed partnership in
the engineering and contracting busi
ness and are located at Ontario, Oregon.
These men have been in the government
service and are familiar with the irriga
tion work as contractors as well as en
gineers.
Applications for manager of football
and assistant manager of baseball for
the season of 1911 will be received by
the undersigned up to December 15,
1910. W. L. Hayward.
