No. 20
INTER-FRATERNITY
BASKETBALL WILL
BEGIN NEXT MONTH
TWELVE CLUBS AND FRATERNI
TIES FORM PLANS FOR EN
SUING YEAR
SUP LATOURETTE ELECTED PRESIDENT
Schedule As Arranged Will Be Run
On Elimination and Percentage
Basis.
Twelve representatives of the dif
ferent clubs and fraternities met in
Trainer Hayward’s office Tuesday aft
ernoon to formulate plans for the re
organization of the Inter-Fraternity
Basketball League, which will re
new activity immediately after the
holidays.
Hal Bean, president of last year’s
league, retired, and Earl Latourette
was chosen to preside over the des
tinies for the ensuing year. Evans
Houston was elected secretary and
treasurer. The officers, together
with Hal Bean, Loyd Barzee and
Carl Onthank make up the executive
council of the league that will decide
upon all questions which may arise,
and also choose officials for the
coming season. Bill Hayward will
act as referee for the games and
Evans Houston will be official scorer.
The magnates decided that only last
year’s “O” men and men who had
taken part in some one of last
year’s conference games, should
be inelligible to play on the
house teams. The varsity squad will
not be picked until after the inter
frat series is decided.
The Hayward cup was won by Beta
Theta Pi last year, but must be won
twice before it will become the prop
erty of any club, therefore it will be
up again this year. The series will
not be as long this season as last,
and the elimination process will be
gin as soon as the second round is
played off. The fifteen games will
narrow the contestants down to three
teams, who will play a series of games
for the cup. The final series will be
decided on a percentage basis, and
the winner will receive the Hayward
cup amid the applause of the brass
polishers. The first two rounds will
run as follows, and the losers of the
second will drop out of the race.
First Round.
Kappa Sigma vs. Delta Sigma, Sig
ma Nu vs. Avava, Dorm vs. Sigma
Chi, Acacia vs. Oregon Club, Tawah
vs. Beta Theta Phi, and Alpha
Tau Omega vs. Phi Gamma Delta.
Second Round.
Phi Gamma Delta vs. Kappa Sigma,
Delta Sigma vs. Sigma Nu, Avava
vs. Dorm, Sigma Chi vs. Acacia, Ore
gon Club vs. Tawah. and Beta
Theta Phi vs. Alpha Tau Omega.

TROUBLE WITH STUDIES
DISTURBS U. OF W. DEBATE
Debate at Washington took quite a
shake up when Weltz, Bovington, and
Clifford, three men who were picked
for the team, withdrew. Clifford and
Weltz will leave during the holidays
for a fraternity convention in the
East, and find that they have not the
time to prepare for debate, while
Bovington found himself unable to
keep up his studies and participate
in debate at the time. The trouble
will be remedied either by a new try
out, or by making one team debate
both in the Coast and Washington
tri-angular contest.

High School, is now a graduate stud

GROSS COUNTRY TODAY
Four Classes Will Compete In Four
Mile Relay On Kincaid
Field.
At the crack of Starter Hayward’s
colt, at 3:30 this afternoon, four
long-winded sprinters, representing
their respective classes, will dig up
the dirt for the first half mile of the
four mile interclass relay race, and
twenty-eight others in a nondescript
array of robes and sweaters will
await their turn along the course to
win cinder path fame.
The Sophomores have an evenly
balanced bunch on paper; the fresh
men are always dark horses,—the
Juniors under Captain McClure are
looking for wagers; and the Seniors
say, “We always have won before,”
so the winner is as yet very much
undetermined. Chet Huggins will
captain the Sophomore team, McGuire
wall lead the Seniors and Boylen will
head the Freshmen aggregation. The
lineups subject to change without no
tice are as follows:
Seniors—McGuire, Johnston, Jones,
McDaniels, Johns, Walls, Huggins,
and Kelly.

Martsloff, Zimemrman, Stoehr, Rey-1
nolds, and Myers, with 0. Walker and
Thad Wentworth as subs.
Sophomores—Huggins, King, Skai,
Miller. Crenshaw, Burris, Epperly,
and Cass; Meek, sub.
Freshmen—Boylen, Andersen, Har
listy, Hawley, Rader, Blockabie,
Watson, and Dudley. Hill and Geis
er, substitutes.
The officials are: Starter, Hayward.
Fudges of touch, Main, Jamison, Ward,
Latourette. Judges of turns, Martin,
Meil, E. Jones, Van Marter, Newland,
Williams, L. Ray, W. Bachour.;
Fudges of finish, Walker, Bailey, Chet j

:ross-country course, as first adver

EX-FOOTBALL STAR
WANTS OPPORTUNITY
TO BEAT GIL DOBIE
CORNELL MAN APPEARS ON
CAMPUS WITH OFFER TO
COACH OREGON TEAM
DEMONSTRATES HIS ABILITY TO PLAYERS
Consensus of Opinion With Players
and Students Is to Give New
comer Chance.
Mr. C. F. Perkins, ’01, Cornell, two
years varsity fullback in that insti
tution and now head of one, of the
largest electrical supply houses in the
Northwest, appeared in Eugene Thurs
day and asked for the privilege of
turning out a team for Oregon that
would beat Gil. Dobie’s four time
champions. Mr. Perkins’ proposition
reads like a story book. He asks for
no salary and merely asks to tutor
the Oregon team in the gridiron sport
for the love of the game. In an
interview last night Mr. Perkins said,
“I have followed football as a spec
tator ever since leaving Cornell, but
for financial and business reasons 1
have been unable to follow it as a
coach. Now that I am in shape
financially, I would like to spend my
time in pursuit of my favorite hobby.
After following the career of Dobie’s
Washington machine for four sea
sons, I think I can develop a team
that will beat him, provided, I am
given eleven ablebodied men.”
Mr. Perkins went out yesterday
afternoon with some of the varsity’s
players to show the men that he
meant business, and the old Cornell
star, after an absence of eight years
from the gridiron, certainly made
Harry Ding, who will feature in
Oriental costume in Glee Club
Concert.
Rood in as far as showing off his
knowledge of the game was con
cerned.
The skepticism that existed when
the news of Mr. Perkins’ offer was
first made known, rapidly faded when
the demonstration on Kincaid Field
was held. Stars and rooters left the
field fairly well convinced that the
Cornell man knew what he was talking
about.
Besides his playing ability, Mr.
Perkins has had the benefit of coach
ing experience with the Cascadilla
Prep Institution to Cornell. Under
lis tutalage the Ithica players were
indefeated.
The consensus of opinion on the
:ampus is to give Mr. Perkins the
SENIORS RULE CLASS PINS
UNNECESSARY LUXURY
The Senior class held a short meet
ing Wednesday and decided that they
j did not desire any such personal em
I bellishments as class pins.
Manager Barbour, of the 1912
Oregana, made his final report which
showed the book had been financially
successful, yielding about $100 above
expenses.
A committee was a ppointed to se
lect a memorial for the class to be
left at the LTniversity.

BAZAAR GREAT SUCCESS
Sale of All Sorts of Home-Made Ar
ticles Brings Bungalow Fund
Up to $1,700.
The second annual Y. W. C. A. Ba
zaar, which was held in the Central
Presbyterian Church yesterday after
noon and evening, for the purpose of
swelling the association bungalow
fund, is voted a success in every way.
Financially, it left nothing to be de
sired, as one hundred and thirty dol
lars, clear, is a conservative estimate.
The patronage was large and the gen
erous contributions which were made
to the Bazaar by members and friends
of the association were sold out to
the boards when the bazaar closed in
the evening.
The market booth, which dispensed
ail sorts of home-made goodies, from
self-rising bread and baked beans to
plum—pudding and angel-cake, was
sold out first and cleared about $30.
The fancy-work and art booths were
the sources of many dainty Christmas
gifts and useful household accessories,
such as laundry bags and big gingham
aprons.
Tea, which was served in a pretty
yellow and green bower at dainty lit
tle tables lighted by shaded candles,
received a liberal patronage. The
candy booth, with its home-made con
fections, was a center of attraction.
The money received from this
source brings the “bungalow fund” up
to about seventeen hundred dollars, so
that the bungalow does not seem so
very far away, as the whole sum re
quired is but two thousand dollars.
John A. McQuinn, ’79, of the sec
ond graduating class, is a civil en
gineer in Portland.
chance. During his short stay in
Eugene, he has won a host of friends
md admirers, and should the Ath
etic Council accept his proposition,
le will have believers in him among
;he squad who turned out and
matched him work.
BRIGHT, SPARKLING
OREGON GLEE CLUB
READY FOB CONCERT
PREPARATIONS GONE OVER FOR
APPEARANCE AT THEATRE
MONDAY NIGHT
CLUB HAS THE BEST PROGRAM IH TEARS
—-.
Three Vaudeville Sketches Will Bring
\ arsity Hitchcocks Before
Spotlight.
All preparations have been com
pleted and final rehearals are being
conducted for the sixteenth annual
Glee Club concert at the Eugene
Theatre next Monday night.
This year’s entertainment prom
! 'ses to be the cleverest ever attempt
ed by the organization.
The program, which was published
in full in the last issue of the Emer
ald, contains a number of features
which are expected to score heavily.
The greater part of these will, of
course, be furnished by the Glee Club
in the regular selections, which are
of a high order. Stunts and special
ties, however, have not been neglect
ed, for this side of the entertainment
has received special attention from
Director Ogden this year.
The musical numbers to be fur*
nished by David Campbell, Kenneth
Frazier, and Harry Ding, will be of
unusual merit. Campbell’s reputation
as a pianist needs no rehearsal in
Eugene, while Frazier has been suc
cessfully featured as a soloist by the
Glee Club during the past two sea
sons. Ding will sing in native Chi
nese costume, providing a unique and
enjoyable deviation from the usual
program.
mere will oe three vaudeville
sketches. The longest is the con
cluding act, entitled, “Mr. Crane Vis
its Oregon,” in which the entire club
will participate. It was written by
Dean Collins, ’ll, the original “Nes
cius” Nitts, in collaboration with Di
rector Melvin Ogden. Collins is re
sponsible for the plot and part of the
dialogue, while Ogden supplied most
of the lines and adapted the sketch
for presentation. Numerous musical
numbers will be introduced during
this act, including the singing of the
popular “Gee, But It’s Great to Meet
a Friend From Your Home Town,” by
Glen Storie, who portrays a Fresh
man with remarkable fidelity to na
ture, going so far as to submit to an
actual “bath-tubbing.”
A ten-minute farce, entitled, “Maid
for a Night,” will serve as a vehicle
for the histrionic talents of Norton
Cowden and Vernon Vawter. The
mere announcement that these two
stars were to appear in one and tho
same caste was sufficient to cause a
stampede on all the vegetable and
fruit dispensories of this city. In this
skit Cowden appears in female dis
guise, and his make-up is said to be
:me which will block the stage en
trance with taxicabs at the more bi
carre towns.
The third sketch to be presented is
entitled, “Birds of a Feather,” with
Burns Powell, Melvin Ogden, and
Vernon Vawter as the co-stars. It
tvas written by Burns Powell, and
ieals with the efforts of two thespians
•vho wish to put on a vaudeville
sketch to secure a third member for

■ant for the position. Burns Powell
