DOUBLE HEADER IN
BASKETBALL PROVES
BIG DRAWING CARD
VARSITY SMOTHERS HARRIS
BURG TEAM, AND KAPPA SIGS.
NOSE OUT BETAS
CROWD THRILLS IN FRATERNITY CONTEST
Jamison's Expert Tossers Show Heels
To Helpless Visitors and Score
at Will.
A record breaking crowd gathered
in the men’s gym Wednesday night to
witness the double-header played off
between Harrisburg and the Varsity,
and Kappa Sigma and Beta Theta Pi,
the two undefeated teams of the in
terfraternity league.
Of the two matches, the latter
proved to be of far greater interest,
as the Kappa Sigmas were forced to
fight hard for a fourteen to ten vic
tory, while Oregon experienced no ap
parent difficulty in running up a sev
enty-three to ten tally against the
much touted “Bullets.”
The fraternity game was played
first, and although the Betas kept
close at the heels of their conquerors,
there was no time that Kappa Sigma
did not maintain a decided lead. Rob
erts starred as a point winner for the
victors, while" Boylen succeeded in
holding Stine, the most dangerous
man of the opposing five, to a no-shot
record. The game was fast and
clean.
At the close of the contest the
Hayward cup was presented to Cap
tain Roberts of Kappa Sigma by Ben
Williams, ex-president of the Student
Body.
The second game proved a decided
relaxation to the Varsity veterans,
after the strenuous work of daily
practice. The Harrisburg boys showed
a better knowledge of A. A. U. tactics
than of inter-collegiate rules, and
Jamison’s men located the basket at
will. The onlookers rapidly became
satiated with the slaughter, and by
the beginning of the second half,
nearly one-third of the seats were
vacated.
After a few minutes of play in the
second half, the Varsity men were re
placed by the substitute five, who ran
the score up to its final reading of
73 to 10.
Trainer Hayward refereed both
games.
SORORITIES POT ON LID
Freshmen No “Dates,” Sophomores
One—Pan Hellenic Mandate That
Must Be Obeyed.
At a meeting of the Pan-Hellenic
Association last week, a stricter in- :
terpretation was read into the rule
regulating the Pan-Hellenic Under- '
Classmen’s social engagements. Here
after the Freshmen can keep no
evening engagements with men from j
Sunday to Friday. It is an infringe- <
ment of the rule for a Freshman to ;
allow a man to accompany her to or
from the library, even if she goes di- i
rectly home and is in by 9:15. If a
Sophomore is escorted home from the
library, it constitutes her one legit
imate mid-week “date.” This rule is <
being so strictly enforced that even !
brothers are tabooed and exception is
made only in case of some important
’Varsity affair, such as basketball <
games, etc.

ing the Assembly Class meeting sy

MONTHLY IS GRATEFUL
Editor Appreciates Past Assistance
and Asks for Continued
Supnort.
Miss Degermark, on being inter
viewed in regard to the Oregon
Monthly, said: “I am glad that the
Student Body has been able to grant
the Monthly life for the rest of the
year. I have been in a position lately
to find out that the Alumni and friends
of the University in general consider
it a grave mistake to discontinue any
Student Body enterprise just at this
crisis, and an unfortunate step to stop
the Monthly. I must confess that I
was even surprised by the amount of
interest shown by the students
around the campus, and their regret
that the Monthly was to be discon
tinued, for the material support they
have given has not been as hearty as
their words when we were under a
cloud.
Now that it has been decreed that
there shall be four more issues of the
Monthly this year, I should like to
appeal on behalf of the staff for the
material support of the Student
Body. There are some who have
contributed to the various depart
ments of our magazine quite faith
fully and to them we are grateful, but
we wish that many others who can
write and have things of interest to
say, would contribute also. Fresh
man themes and such things, cut and
iried, are all right, but we thirst for
some good live stories ‘right off the
sat.’
“In the matter of subscription, too.
;he Student Body might give us more
effective support. Subscriptions may
se paid at any time to the Editor or
Managers Huggins and Bratager.”
I. MERLE DAVIS SPOKE

The above team is the Emerald’s
thoretical basketball quintet, selected
by comparing the choices of Trainer
and Coach Haywara, Sporting Editor
Mason Roberts, Varsity Captain Jam
ison, and Varsity Forward Dean
Walker.
Bradshaw for center, and Rader
for forward, were honored with the
unanimous choice of the authorities.
Roberts received three votes for for
ward, and Boylen'b like number for
guard. The other votes for guard
were scattered over Viereck, McAl
len, Rice, and Early, with Viereck
landing the position with two votes.
McAllen received one vote for for
ward.
The following were the selections
and mentions for the Emerald team:
Bill Hayward—For center, I think,
Bob Bradshaw is the only choice, as
he has already demonstrated class
over any of the other fraternity can
didates.
For guard I would pick Boylen as
having most clearly shown his fitness
for the position. Then Vie|reck is the
man for the other side, with a slight
edge over McAllen and Rice, because

LAW AND MEDICAL SCHOOLS
GET MORE SPACE IN OREGANA
B. F. Alexander, a senior in the
law department at Portland, has con
sented to take charge of the Law and
Medical School sections in the 1913
Oregana. It is the intention of the
staff to make this section of the book
more important this year than here
tofore by using pictures of the Fac
ulty and Senior classes of both
schools.
The champion inter-fraternity and
class basketball teams will have their
pictures in the next book and the
hitherto neglected game of handball
will be given space.
The campus subscription soliciters
are meeting with excellent success,
which seems to presage an excellent
financial outcome for the undertak
ing.
Gilbert Beattie, ’01, is superintend
ent of the Sheldon Jackson Industrial
School, Sitka, Alaska.
Begin Search For Coach—Arrange
Tentative Date for Theatre
on April Fifth.
At the meeting of the Senior class,
held in Dr. Schmidt’s room, Monday
afternoon, several important commit
tees made their reports. The Senior
play committee reported that “She
Stoops to Conquer” is to be produced
at the Eugene Theatre, with April
fifth as the tentative date. The same
committee was empowered to obtain
a coach, and although not yet defin
itely settled, it is probable that Prof.
Reddie will be chosen for this posi
tion. Chairman Chester Moores, of
the Senior Memorial Committee, rec
ommended in his report that the
choosing of a gift for the University
be postponed until after the settle
ment of the referendum case, in order
that something appropriate to the
prospective new campus arrangement
might be selected.
The election of a member on the
Student Affairs Committee to take
the place of Carl N. Homer, who has
left college, was postponed until the
next meeting.
Plans were discussed for the feasi
bility of a Senior Smoker and jollifi
cation to be held by the male members
of the class.
Mrs. Joseph Knapp (Miss Cornelia
Pinkham, ’10) will spent the week
end in Eugene, as the guest of Mrs.
Elmer Paine (Miss Peggy Me Nair,
’10).
Miss Grace Lilly, of Portland, after
spending a few days as the guest of
her sister, Beatrice, at the Gamma
Phi House, has left for Brownsville.

Letters from the foreign field will
be read at the regular Y. W. C. A.
meeting January 29. The place of
meeting has been changed to Dr.

sible, Dr. Schmidt’s room will be made
the permanent meeting place.
Miss Ruth Stone will lead the meet
ing, and Miss Wilma Young will give
a piano solo. Election of officers for
the coming term will also take place.

!
pendence, who has been visiting her
sister, Cecile, for several weeks, left

OREGON WILL PLAY
WILLAMETTE TEAM
NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT
CAPT. JAMISON EXPECTS HARD
GAME WITH METHODIST
ORGANIZATION
OREGON MAY HAVE BEST TEAM IN HISTORY
Return Contest Will Be Played In
Salem at Later Date—Tickets on
Sale Wednesday.
One of the hardest fought basket
ball games in the history of the Uni
versity will take place next Friday
night between the Oregon Quintet
and the Willamette University star
aggregation.
This will be the first athletic con
test in which the two institutions
have met since 1910, when difficulties
over a football schedule resulted in a
temporary severance of relations. In
the 1910 basketball season Willam
ette defeated Oregon, and this year
the lemon-yellow supporters are de
termined to wipe out the old score.
Oregon has the best team in the his
tory of the school, is the unquestion
able assertion of those who have seen
Captain Jamison’s men work out,
thus far. The team realizes the im
portance of annexing a victory over
Willamette and at the same time re
spects the playing ability of that
team. There will be no quarter
shown on either side.
Willamette has a team made up of
players who have worked together for
several seasons, and besides have had
the advantage of practice and the
perfecting of their team work, ever
since Thanksgiving of this year.
The game will probably be a battle
royal from the starting gong until
the whirlwind finish. The determina
tion of Oregon to put the Willamette
contingent out of the running, was
voiced by Captain Jamison, when in
terviewed regarding the game, today:
“I would rather beat Willamette Fri
day, than any team we will meet this
year,” was the assertion of the hard
fighting leader of the Varsity team.
A return game will be played the
Salemites in that city at a later date.
The seat sale will open at Linn’s Drug
Stare and Obak’s Cigar Store, Wed
nesday, at 10 A. M. Reserved seats
will be gobbled up at 50 cents per and
the general admission will go at 35
cents. ... .. .
ANNAPOLIS EXAMS CLOSE
Only Three Candidates Appear to
Compete for Appointment to
U. S. Naval School.
Three candidates are busy taking
competitive examinations for the An
napolis appointment, two of whom
will be successful. They are H. B.
Howard, of Corvallis, Sydney S. Mur
phy, of Portland, and Andrew Koer
ner, of St. Johns. Examinations in
arithmetic, algebra, geometry, spell
ing, geopraphy, grammar, world’s
history, U. S. history, are being given.
A severe physical examination will
be conducted by Prof. Stafford. Bill
Hayward, and Dr. Stewart.
The papers will be graded by the
heads of the departments, a commit
tee of the faculty doing the correct
ing. Each contestant’s name has
been placed in a sealed envelope,
which bears a certain number, by
which he signs his papers, so that the
judges will have no way of knowing
whose papers they are correcting
ind can therefore show no partiality.
