ST. PATRICK’S DAY SPECIAL, BEGORRA UNIVERSITY OF OREGON VOL. XIII. EUGENE. OREGON, SATURDAY. MARCH 16. 1912. No. :!9 OREGON BASKETBALL TEAM WINS CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE NORTHWEST CASE APPEALED FROM LOWER COURT TO BE SETTLED IN NEAR FUTURE NO NEW EVIDENCE WILL BE RECEIVED Counsel for State, However, Expects to Bring Out New Points in Arguments. The referendum case against the University of Oregon appropriation now lies before the highest tribunal in the state, the argument having been taken up Thursday before the Supreme Court in Salem. The appeal is from Judge Galloway’s decision, which declared the petitions which would have placed the question on the ballot at the next election, null and void, on account of the wholesale forg eries committed by circulator Parkin son and his accomplices. Should the action of the lower court be sustained, all obstacles in the way of Oregon’s securing her much-need ed buildings will be removed. In any event, the rate of the appropriation will be known within the next few weeks. No new evidence can be introduced in the supreme court hearing, but it is said that Attorney General Craw ford for the state will bring: out sev eral new points. One of these was developed Thursday, when the attor ney general held that this question is one of legislation and should be passed upon by the people of the state at the general election, and therefore that the court has no jurisdiction in the matter. W. S. U’Ren, more or less famous as the author of many of Oregon’s in novations in the way of legislation, and as a champion of the income tax and numerous other radical measures, also spoke for the state. Judge W. T. Slater, who has been conducting the case from the beginning for the University, is again appearing as a tion. Clinton Hesten has been visiting at the Beta House. The Thetas entertained Alice Lloyd at dinner Wednesday. Eftie Baker is visiting Esther Gris son at the Chi Omega House. Alla Patterson visited at the Theta House this week-end. Eleanor McClean and Lilah Seng stake will spend the week-end in Port land. Lottie Banfield has been visiting her sister, Nellie, at the Gamma Delta Gamma House. E. E. Martin has returned to his home in Acheson, Kansas, on account of illness. He may return next se mester. Mrs. Hampton, Dr. Stuart, Miss Perkins and Miss Thompson were dinner guests at the Tri Delta House Wednesday. Mrs. Stanley, C. E. Smith (Othella Stearns) is spending several days with her mother, Mrs. Steams, at the Mary Spiller house. TIME FOR SIGNING UP FOR OREGANAS EXTENDED In older to give every student in the University advantage of the Ore gana offer of $1 down, $1 on deliv ery, Manager Collier has decided to extend the time one week. The rea son for this is that a number of stud ents have complained to Mr. Collier that they did not know that the offer of $2 dosed on March 15, and hence had made no effort to subscribe be fore that date. But by the extension of the time everybody will have an opportunity to get the book 50 cents cheaper. The subscriptions have been piling up and promise to far exceed those of last year, and make it pos sible to enlarge the book considerably. Students should keep in mind that every extra copy sold means an im provement in the Oregana. Earl Cobb, Cady Roberts, and Geo. Frazier have gone to Portland for a few days. Ned Shaw, the famous Dallas bas ketball center, has been staying at the Beta House. DATE FOR MEET FIXER April 3 Settled On As Time for Big Indoor Event—Numerous Entries Expected. One of the largest indoor track meets ever pulled off at Oregon will be held in the men’s gymnasium on the night of April 3. The meet has as its object the bringing to light of new material, and a large number of entries are expected. The meet, which by the way is an annual affair, will cover most of the usual outdoor sports as well as many indoor events. The former will con sist of short dashes, with a few longer distances, while the indoor sports will be jumping and diving from the spring-board and possibly a few boxing matches, in which it is expected that Woo Sun and Buford Jones will star for the Sophomore and Senior classes respectively. In one respect only will the meet be defective. Trainer Hayward had planned a wrestling tournament to conclude the program for the even ing, but the lack of candidates for grappling honors will preclude the possibility of such a contest.

During the first half the Jun-1 iors were decidedly superior to the infant contingent, but in the second spasm, the Freshmen came through with an exhibition of class which re-! (suited in the winning tally. The best j of feeling was manifested throughout the game and with the exception of a j few fouls, called for roughing, the! struggle was distinguished by the! good sportsmanship shown. Later on in the same day the Sen-1 iors lost to the Sophomores, 17 to 2. This puts the graduating class out of the running as far as the Hayward cup is concerned and leaves only the1 three lower classes in the contest. Fol-■ lowing is the standing of the teams: Won. Lost.
