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.
Mrs. Mulligan: ‘Oi hear that Mrs.
Casey is givin’ a party on Monday.
Her youngest daughter’s cornin’

Mrs. Dugan: An’ phwat was she in

FRESHMEN PUT QUIETUS
ON SENIOR BASKETBALL
—
In a fast hard fought game the
Freshmen girls defeated the Juniors,
Thursday afternoon by a score of 111'
to 8. 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-■

By Fen Waite.
By defeating the strong University
of Washington basketball team in
two furious games in the gymnasium,
Thursday and Friday nights, the var
sity machine annexed the title of
Northwest Conference Champions as
well as the distinction of being the
best team in the history of basketball
at Oregon. An immense crowd of
students and supporters packed the
balcony, and available space on the
lower floor at both contests, and a
volume of enthusiasm never before
equaled in Oregon indoor athletics
was generated. Pandemonium broke
loose among the Oregon rooters after
the second and final game last night,
in which Captain Jamison’s Immor
tals came thundering up from behind
and passed the Washington heroes in
the final stretch.
Oregon Takes First (lame.
In the game Thursday night, Ore
gon clearly outpointed the Northern
Collegians, establishing a close lead
from the start, which was maintained
to the final score of 17 to 14. The
Washington team played brilliant ball,
guarding with bulldog tenacity, and
getting away for a number of open
shots by a clever interchange of
guards and forwards. There was no
unnecessary roughness in the game,
the best sportmanship prevailed and
the officiating of Shaw, the famous
Dallas center, was of a high order.
Second (lame Hard Fought.
The game Friday night resulted in
a 17 to 13 victory for the Oregon
champions, five extra minutes of play
being necessary to decide the final
outcome. Washington started the
game with a whirlwind burst of speed
and when the smoke had cleared away
after the first quarter, the bewildered
Oregonians faced a reverse score of
10 to 2.
Considering the calibre of excel
lence of the blue and gold aggrega
tion, basketball authorities are unan
imous in their decision that the come
back and never-die fighting spirit of
the Oregon squad as displayed last
night, was of a degree unparalleled in
the records of Northwest basketball
lore. After the disastrous initial
inning, Jamie’s Wild Irishmen began
to take up the slack in the visitor’s
lead, with a persistent determination
that was alone responsible for Wash
ington’s final defeat.
