A., was called upon for brief re marks, and told of the great interets on the coast in the lectures of Mercer and Carter. President Campbell res ponded to a demand for remarks and expressed his appreciation of the efforts of the Y. M. C. A. and Mr. Carter and Mr. Mercer in particular, to establish a higher intellectual and moral tone among the students of the universities throughout the country. He voiced his hearty approval of the lectures that are to be heard here and called upon the men present to help in making the most of this opportunity. Mr. Carter was in troduced and immediately made good with the bunch by the delicate manner in which he handled a reference to a cer tain "institution, unnameable in this por tion of the state". He told briefly but effectively of the advances that are being made by the Association in the great in titutions of the country and of the growing appreciation of the work that is being expressed, quoting such men as Mr Howard Elliott of the Great Nor th rn and P'res.

WRESTLERS H FEA1URE Men Are Working Out Daily at Mat Game I lie plans for the annual inter-class indoor meet, to be held March 11, are i being well carried out. From the num ber and class of prospective entries, the wrestling promises to be the most in • teresting feature. John Kelly is en tered in the bantam weight, and will undoubtedly take his event. Kelly is showing great form this year, and it is reported that he will go to Portland to take part in a coming meet to he held under the auspices of the Multnomah Cluh. Part of the football men are out practicing the tumbling game with their usual football spirit, and promise to make things interesting in the heavy weight division. A number of prom ising middleweights are entering for the tryout. Tt has not yet been decided whethei the men from different classes will be matched, or a man picked from each weight without regard to class. IthirdToorIIersed Basketball Game Leads to Reck less Bathing The third floor basketball team of the dormitory went wet this morning by a 23 to 7 majority. The piratical insignia worn by the second floor team fright ened the team work out of Kronie’s co horts, and it is to this, not to superior playing, that victory is attributed. The first half ended 15 to 0 in favor of the second story men. Captain Kro nerberg, "the hope of the German race," was unable to participate throughout the entire contest. The fever, however, | that raged before the game, gradually j settled to his feet, and when these ex | tremities wramed sufficiently, Kronie ! faced sylph-like Bailey in the thirty-inch I circle. Two well filled tubs awaited the re turn of the vanquished, who were lit I erally swept off their feet by the hos ! pit dde second floor men. Considerable moisture was diffused during the pro cess, but as yet no cases of insanity are reported to have resulted. The Kappa Sigma Freshmen were ai home to 1914 at a smoker last night Boxing, smoking and singing were the features. s !XTPR-FBATKR.X 1TY LEAGL’E * Won Lost Pot. * * Beta Theta Pi_ 6 1 .857 * * Sigma Xu . 5 1 .333 * * Kappa Sigma _ 4 2 .667 * * Beavers_ 4 2 .666 * * Avavn . 3 2 .600 * * Tawali _ 2 2 .SIX) 15 * Dorm _ 2 3 .41X1 * * A.

GALLOWAY WORKS 10 RAISE STUDENT FUND AMOUNT NOW AVAILABLE IS NEARLY $5,000 Alumni Association Has Set $25,000 M"«rk, Which It Hopes to Reach this Year. Mr. Francis V. Galloway, '07, who has been acting as special agent for the Alumni Association to increase the Stu dent Loan Fund. In the two weeks th.it Mr. Galloway was in the field, he secured about $2,000, all of which wdl be available before the end of the pres 1 ent year. One donor, who wishes his | name withheld, is making a gift of i $1,000, and Senator R. A. Booth will add $500 to the $500 he has already in the j fund. Mr. W. B. Ayer has given $100. These contributions bring thvaeail These contributions bring the availa ble loan fund up to the total of $5,223.30, Inti the demand far exceeds this amount. The student loans are handled through the office of the Secretary of the Board of Regents, who accounts for them as ! for other college funds. Student appii ' cations for the money must he signed by some responsible person and ap proved by two faculty members No student may borrow more than $100 for each year of attendance at the University. At present the money is divided into live special funds, donated by William Ladd, of Portland, A. S. Roberts, of 1 The Dalles, John Kelly, of Eugene, and in the names of D. T. Thompson, Dr. ; Thomas Condon, R. A. Booth, John Kelly, and the Alumni Association; Mr. Galloway is for the time being at his home in McMinnville, but after the excitement incident to the legisla tive situation has subsided Mr. Galloway will take the field again, and hopes by spring to raise the fund to the $25,00(1 mark set by the Association. TRACK MEN MUST WORK At the beginning of the second semes ter, Trainer Hayward plans to give over an hour each day in the gym to track men. Each man who intends to try out in the spring will be expected to come out an: take exercise to put him in coriditior for his event. By doing this. Bill hopes to have hi1 men in much better condition than us ual at the opening of the season anc will not have such a handicap to over come in competing with those college! that have better facilities. Professor R. K. Allen, a member c the faculty of the Broadway Higl School, of Seattle, is visiting at th j Kappa Sigma house. SENIORS SHOW LITTLE ZEAL IN CROSS COUNTRY — As backetball holds the center of the stage, little interest lias been shown so far concerning the inter-class cross country run. which is scheduled for Feb ruary 22nd. Only two prospective run ners are training regul :rly—McGuire, 'll. and McClure, '13. It is expected that each class will tun. out a good sized squad as soon .as the heaviest ex m work is over. As each class's te :m is limited to live men. there vill probably be sharp competition for "daces, especially among the Freshmen, as there is an abundance of material in the green cap brigade. Captains of the teams, as selected y Trainer Hayward, are, McCuirc, 'll. Walls, ‘12, McClure, '13, and Miller, '14. Prospects for full teams are good, ex cept with the 1911 class, in which there is a, dearth of distance runners. Me 'jtt're will be the only Senior entry, ac cording to present prospects. J. D. AT LAST ARRIVES Oregonian Offers Versatile Edi tor Position on Staff I hat the newspaper world's opinion of 1 >c n Collins as a paper man is fa vorable, is shown by the fact that the managing editor of the Oregonian has recently offered him a position as re porter, either to he accepted now or after he secures his Master's degree from Oregon. Collins chose the lat ter alternative. I his line of work is not new to Col lins. For several years he worked with the Folk County Observer, at Dallas, Oregon, and edited the same for two years. 'I bis year, as editor of the Ore gon Monthly, he has built up the stand rd of ih t magazine to a height it has lever known before. As editor of the Ibserver, his editorials were frequently copied by other papers, including the Oregonian, which commented favorably on them, and now offers the writer a position on its staff.

Sophomores Finally Get Laraw y Trophy Cup The Varsity quintet of basketball toss ers hast night smothered Pacific's aspira tions by a score of 63 to 7. The first halt ended 40 to 6, but the second team which was sent in in the last half was un hie to keep up the pace for as mauv o s .■ s were made in the first sec tion. Captain Jamison and Fenton scored almost at will, making twelve and ten baskets respectively. After it became evident that Pacific's chances were nil. the Varsity tried out new team plays exclusively, and worked them with startling regularity. Pacific put up a good game as far as hard work was concerned, but were unable to keep the ball in their end of the court for any length of time. Simms, the new Varsity find, showed up p rticularly well in breaking the ball loose from the mix and advancing it | down the held. Elliott, however, had I the better luck of the two guards, in | locating the basket, scoring live in the I time in which lie played. Shaver, Pacific's captain, was the only one of the visitors able to locate the basket, and he scored all of Pacific's points. The first lineup was as follows: Pacific Shaver (capt) Bryant Berryman Taylor Mcl fougal Referee, Oregon Walker Jamison (capt) Fenton Simms Elliott RF LF C RG LG Hayward. Will Play Fast Portage Team The next gone for the Varsity will he with the famous Co. F team, of Port age, Wisconsin, which writes A. A. U. champions of the United States after its n me. I he date has not yet been set, as the advance man of the militia quintet has not yet arrived in Eugene. The soldiers tire on a Western tour and will pass through Eugene next week and will stop off to play the Varsity on their way south. Three of the men, Swenholt, Shep pard and Harper, arc graduates of the ; University of Wisconsin, where they starred in collegiate games. The Port age team recently defeated the Meteors, of Chicago, by the decisive score of 29 to !4. Basketball fans will remember ! the visit of the Meteors to the Coast 1 several years ago. | The Dallas “Oregons” played two games with the Co. F team on its East ern tour, and won both contests. | Just what the Varsity will be able to do against such an aggregation of stars is a matter of much conjecture, as the little tryout against Pacific was but a , I nor means of finding out what the lem - on yellow quintet has in store. Fenton says the military five is made up of big, ■ husky fellows, who play a fast game, I and the contest with Oregon should fur nish its quota of excitement. Sophs Win Laraway Cup The final game for the Laraway cup was played between the Sophs and the Juniors, and resulted in the former win ning by a score of 13 to 6. I he much tied series was finished and "Hippo" Gillis, Vice President of the student body, made the presentation speech from (Continued on page 3.)
