Looks for New Forward to Round
Out Team.
The University of Oregon will meet
the University of Idaho in Eugene in
the first game of the Northwest Con
ference basketball schedule next Mon
day and Tuesday evenings, January
13 and 14.
Idaho has been playing basketball
for the last month and reports from
Moscow indicate that Idaho will have
one of the strongest teams in years.
At the opening of the season the
Idaho Freshmen defeated the Varsity
thus demonstrating the fact that the
new recruits are strong.
Last night the Oregon basketball
squad practiced for the first time this
season and because of the nearness oi
the coming game it will rush Trainer
and Coach Hayward to have his men
in condition by Monday night. But
since there is but one vacant position
on the team, it will not be difficult to
have the team in good trim regardless
of the short practicing time.
For practice the Varsity will play
a team picked from the fraternities
and clubs Wednesday evening and will
also play several practice games with
Eugene High during the coming
week.
I he four Varsity veterans back in
harness are Captain Sims, Fenton,
Walker, and Bradshaw. The most
promising men of the squad are Par
sons, Brooks, Briedwell, F'ee, Steven
son, Still. Boylen, Gould, and Street.
The schedule for the semi-finals of
the inter-fraternity games will ap
pear in Thursday’s Emerald.
MELVIN OGDEN TO BE
DIRECTOR OF CHORAL CLUB
The date for the concert to be
given by the Women’s Glee Club has
not been definitely settled as yet, but
it is expected that it will be given
in about three weeks in the Eugene
Theatre. Since Mr. M. L. Bowman
has not been able to return, Melvin
Ogden has been secured as director.
The skit and special “stunts” are be
ing worked up and will soon be
ready.
Imported artists and masons will
endeavor to restore the Leland Stan

Once more Bill Hayward’s covered
track for the fall and winter training
of athletes, has again taken a tumble
to the extent of a 150 foot section of

T
GLEE CLUB IN HOME TOWNS
FIRST PAYING EASTERN OREGON TOUR PROVES EFFICIENCY
OF LIVE ADVERTISING—CLUB MEMBERS REPORT ROYAL
ENTERTAINMENT AT TOWNS
VISITED
At Hood River Saturday night the
Glee Club gave the last of a series
of eight concerts and completed the
first tour into eastern Oregon that
fully paid for itself. This financial
increase was to a great extent due to
the live advertising of students who
were appointed by Manager Geary to
talk up the concert in their respec
tive towns when they went home for
the holidays,—the way in which they
lustled is evident in the fact that
there were large, crowds in every
town, four of which surpassed all
records.
The first concert was given in As
toiia, December 27. In the afternoon
the boys were entertained with a
matinee dance and reception at the
Weinhart Hotel. Fred Hardesty was
the advance agent for the club here.
At Portland on the 28th, in the Lin
coln High School Auditorium, the con
cert was given to the largest audience
found on the trip. Approximately
700 people attended. From Portland
the Glee Club traveled to Heppner,
where Harold Cohen as press agent
stirred up a good crowd. The next
stop was Pendleton. Here Bert Ger
ard .made a huge success with his
Round Up song. Lyman Rice had ad
vertised this place, with the result of
box office receipts of $183, the best
ever encountered in Pendleton. In La
Grande on New Years, the Glee Club
met one of their most appreciative
audiences and most beneficial finan
cially, $267 being taken in. Gene
Good had done some good live adver
tising here. A reception was given
to the boys.
An invitation was given the club to
visit the Hot Lake Sanitarium.
Eight of the singers went down and
were royally entertained. The rest of
the boys were given a skating party
in Baker City on the second. James
Donald had been at work here and
the result was the largest crowd in
four years, netting $225.
Bidding good-bye to eastern Oregon
the club turned homeward, their first
stop being The Dalles on the third,
where the concert had been advanced
by Bob Bradshaw. On January 4, the
Glee Club made its last appearance at
Hood River. Harry Cash gave them
the largest house they ever had there.
An added feature to the program
here was a vocal solo by Miss Flor
ence Avery. Sunday morning the
club left for Portland, thoroughly
tired out, but none the less enthus
istic over their trip.
Manager Geary said, “This has
been the most successful tour the Glee
i Club has ever taken. The weather
could not have been better, we had
large and appreciative crowds, and
the fellow’s were in the best of good
spirits.”
NEW YEARS REGISTER
SHOWS STUDENTS’WORK
Two Sections of Special Edition
Result from Efforts of College
Journalists.
The publication of the New Year’s
Morning Register gave many stu
dents of the Journalism classes their
first practical introduction to news
paper patrons. For weeks ahead ar
ticles had been assigned to different
students, who worked up their stories
with every care possible. Practically
all the reading matter of two sec
tions of the New Year’s Register was
taken care of by University report
ers, making between five and six
pages of solid reading material.
Every feature of regular college
work, of clubs, and organizations, of
student enterprises, of college rela
tions with the taxpayers of the state,
and of student life in private, which
is of value in reference to future ap
propriations—and referendums—were
treated.
Readers of this edition of the Reg
ister express themselves as pleased
with this venture of the recently ad
ded Department of Journalism, con
trasting the freshness and sincerity
of the student’s efforts with the mon
otony and disillusionment of most
newspaper annuals.
To the second year class in Journal
ism belongs the credit of editing the
matter submitted by the first year
students. Fen Waite as chief and
Bob f'ariss, Nellie Hemenway, Sam
Cook and Franklin Allen inspected
the stories brought in and put them
in final shape for the printer.
The history of the University, writ
ten up by A. R. Crawford and V. E.
Burris, is given a leading place in the
section devoted to Education. Fol
lowing this are articles on the Lib
rary by Katharine Watson and Harry
Crain; on the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W.
C. A. by Walter Kimmel and Helen

230 REGISTERED III
OREGON UNI SCHOOL
Dean Gantenbein May Install Four
^ ear Night Course—Informal
Dance Planned.
U. OF O. LAW DEPARTMENT,
Portland, Jan. 6.—Registration at the
University Law School this year is
the largest in the history of the in
stitution. There are at present 230
students attending, eleven of whom
are women. The Freshman class con
tains 101 students, the Junior class
78 students, and the Senior class 51
students.
This is an increase of 39 students
over the enrollment of 191 of last
year, and it is safe to say that by
the end of the year the increase will
reach fifty or sixty, as many will en
roll for the third term, which begins
in the spring.
Dean Gantenbein hopes to extend
the scope of work next year by mak
ing the night school a four year
course and by adding a day school
with a three year’s course. Those,
however, who are now taking the three
year’s course, will be allowed to fin
ish the present course. This plan of
extension is not a certainty yet, but it
is quite probable that it will be in
stalled.
Christmas holidays began for the
Freshmen December 18, owing to the
inability to procure the new text
text books. Holidays for the Juniors
and Seniors began December 22.
School will convene again January
The school plans to hold an in
formal dance early in January at
C hristiansen’s Hall. A committee, con
sisting of two representatives from
each class, will arrange for and con
duct the affair.

The Student Council of the Univer
city of Michigan sent a congratula
tory letter to the University of Penn

their football team this year.
JOHN VEATCH. DEAN GOODMAN,
AND MERWIN RANKIN
CHOSEN TO LEAD
ALUMNI
MEDICS AND LAWS ELIGIBLE
Banquet Planned for Near Future—
Many Former University Students
at Meeting.
(Burns Powell.)
PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 6.—At a
meeting of the Portland Alumni of
the University, held recently in the
Lincoln High School, a permanent
organization was perfected, which is
to be called the Portland Association
of Oregon Alumni.
John C. Veatch was elected presi
dent, Dean Goodman was elected vice
president, and Merwin Rankin was
elected secretary and treasurer. A
constitution was adopted, which pro
vides that membership shall be open
to all graduates and former men of
the University, whether of the Uni
versity proper or of the Portland
branches. The administration of the
association will be conducted by an
executive committee consisting of the
officers and four other members ap
pointed by the president. An initia
tion fee of one dollar was levied on
all members.
The meeting was attended by a
large number of Oregon men and
topics relative to the University were
freely and openly discussed. Presi
dent Veatch in his initial address
stated that the purpose of the Asso
cition would be to band the two or
three hundred Oregon men residing
in Portland together into an organi
zation which would keep alive the
spirit of former college days, and
which would aid the University in the
light for proper state support.
A banquet will be held early in
January, probably at the Chamber of
Commerce building, and effort will
be made to bring every Oregon man
to this. All graduates and former
students residing in Portland and the
vicinity are urged to join the Asso
ciation. Names can be handed to
Merwin Rankin, C. M. McArthur, or
Jack Latourette.
Among those present at the meet
ing were: C. M. McArthur, Jack
Latourette, Orman Bean, Hal Bean,
Virgil Earl, Dean Goodman, Louis
Pinkham, John Veatch, Chet Moores,

ferty, Oscah Haugen, Orman Rankin,
Wm. Cake, Merwin Rankin, Earl Ab
bott, Wm. Reuter, Philip Brownell,
Oscar Furnsett, Zeno Riddell, Martin
Hawkins, Lyle Brown, and Burns
Powell.
Of sixteen professors of the Uni
versity only four spent their vaca
tions in rest or recreation. Only six
left town and eight stayed in Eugene,
employed by the University or busy
withtheir own private work. Of
those who left Eugene during the holi
days Professor J. D. Barnett traveled
the most extensively, spending a week
in Portland and Seattle, visiting
friends at the latter city. Professor
F. S. Dunn remained in Eugene and
prepared papers which he will deliver
here at a later date. These lectures
include a paper on “Caesar's Wives,”
and one on “Roman Wit and Humor
as Illustrated by Martel.” On Christ
mas day Professor Dunn gave an ad
dress before the Comnanaery of the
Knights lemplar on tne legend of
the Mistletoe-Shaft.
Professor John Bovara spent every
day of his vacation in the laboratory,
as did also Professor E. Conklin.
Professor John Strauo nas been at
home reading and doing won in con
nection with his classroom auojects.
