OREGON CLUB DEFEATS DORM;
WINS INTERFRATERNITY CUP
The Oregon Club defeated the Dor
mitory Club Saturday afternoon in
the finals of the inter-fraternity
series of handball, thus winning the
possession of the cup given by the
Inter-fraternity League for one year.
The games were closely contested
as the scores would indicate. Oregon
Club won the first game 21 to 18, but
the Dorm came back strong and won
the second, which went 22 to 20. It
looked like the Dorm would be easy
winners of the last and deciding game
for once the score was 18 to 4 in
their favor. But the Oregon Club
took a brace and won out in another
deuce game, 22 to 20.
The Oregon Club was represented
by Calkins and Collier, and the Dor
mitory by Reed and Roberts.
WASHINGTON CO-EDS BREAK
COLLEGE CHEST RECORDS
Average Lung Capacity Is 168.2,'?
Cubic Inches, or .02 cc. More
Than Oregon Maids Boast.
SEATTLE. Wash.. Jan. 10.—Girls
in the University of Washington are
healthier and better proportioned
than those of almost any other col
lege in the country, according to data
submitted by Miss Jessie Merrick,
women’s physical director.
“Men are most interested in the
height and weight of girls. Women
are concerned with girls’ measure
ments. Neither have any bearing on
the physical condition of the indi
vidual. That which counts is the
lung capacity and the size of the
muscles.”
The breathing space of the average
University of Washington girl is
168.23 cubic centimeters. This is two
hundredths of a centimeter greater
than the average at the University
of Oregon.
The average Washington girl
weighs 120 pounds and is five feet
two inches tall.
LEGISLATIVE TERM
SHORT SITS EATON
Forty Day Session Handicaps Law
makers, Is Contention—Other
Reforms Favored.
“The House works under disadvan- j
tages which we cannot well remove, j
One is the short session, and the
other is the great volume of legisla
tion.” This statement comes from
Hon. Allen H. Eaton, who is now at
tending the State Legislature, which
convened yesterday. The idea is the
same as that which Hon. W. W. Cal
kins gave to the members of the
Agora Club last week. Mr. Eaton
has many reforms which he intends
to introduce in the present session of
Legislature.
“Oregon’s term of 40 days is the
shortest of any state in the Union,”
he continued. “This time ought to be
extended, but to do so will require a
constitutional amendment.”
Two years ago Mr. Eaton, a Uni
versity of Oregon graduate, ran for
the Speakership of the House of
Representatives and was defeated.
At the time of Eaton’s defeat, it was
rumored that Rusk, his successful op
ponent, had secured support in the
Legislature by promises of commit
tee assignments. Whether this was
true or not, was a matter of much
discussion. At this session of the
Legislature. Mr. Eaton will introduce
a number of needed reforms for
House rules, prominent among which
is a bill intended to prevent political
maneuvers for the election of the
Speaker.
Other features of Mr. Eaton’s re
form plan are:

GAME WITH 31 TO 6 SCORE
GRIFFITH'S Ql'INTET OCCASIONS DISAPPOINTMENT TO FOCAL
FANS—WAFKElt STARS FOR VICTORS, WHIFE
BRADSHAW AND FENTON ALSO
SHOW UP WELL
(By Jimmie Roberts.)
Oregon won her first conference
game last night, swamping the Uni
versity of Idaho five by a 31 to 6
score. The Gem State five, coming
here as a dark horse, proved a disap
pointment to the large crowd who ex
pected to see a close game. Oregon
won through the stellar work of her
three veterans, who were a whole
team in themselves. Walker was the
star of the evening's entertainment,
and scored most of the Oregon points.
Bradshaw put. up a great game at
guard and held the Idaho forwards
under wing, while Carl Fenton put up
his heady exhibition.
The Idaho team showed bursts of
speed at times and had ample chance
at the basket, but were either un
lucky or unable to hit it. Griffith’s
men are mostly all new at the inter
collegiate game and fouled frequently
by breaking dribbles. Referee Jami
son called numerous fouls on the
Oregon team, most of them “per
sonals.”
Oregon jumped into the lead at the
start and was never in danger, the
score standing 17 to 1 at half time.
At the beginnning of the second half
the Idaho team braced and held the
Varsity scoreless for a few minutes,
but the offense unlimbered again to
run up fourteen more. Idaho man
aged to get two from the field and an
other foul bringing the total up to
six.
The game was fairly free from
roughness, most of the fouls called
being minor infringements. Jamison
was chosen to referee at the last mo
ment at the demand of Pink Griffith.
The ex-captain made an able official,
and got away without a complaint
from either team. The game tonight
will be called at 7 p. m.
The line-up: Oregon Fenton, c.;
Brooks, If.; Walker, rf.; lfoylen, lg.;
Bradshaw. rp\; Fee, substitute. Idaho
—Kinnison, c.; Ankorn, If.; Doulen,
rf.; Keane, lg.; Mitchell, rg.; McNett,
Foster, Perkins, substitutes.
SENIORS HIRE COACH

The class of 1913 of the University

Manager Ernest Lamb, has secured
the services of William Bernard to
coach the senior class play. Mr. Ber
nard, who is a member of the Jon
athan Club of Los Angeles, and who
is stage manager and director of the
Baker Theatre, has chosen a play that
deals with college life which he is
changing to fit the local conditions
and characters of the University.
The parts will be assigned as soon
as they arrive and active work will
begin immediately after the mid-se
mester examinations, as the date set
for the play is April 15th, which is
somewhat earlier than that of previ
ous years.

OREGON CO-EDS PROVE TOO
MUCH EOR PHOTO-PLATE

paper Correspondent Tries to
Take Picture.
The first authentic case of a photo
graphic plate broken by a University
of Oregon Co-ed came to light last
Saturday, and is sworn to by Profes
sor E. S. Conklin, of the department
of Psychology.
A newspaper correspondent was
engaged to take pictures of some ap
paratus with students posing, to show
the manner of operation. The photo
grapher had exposed one plate and
endeavored to put back the black
slide over the used filament, when the
covering stuck.
Continual effort on the part of the
student failed to adjust the slide.
The plate holder was removed and a
broken plate fell to the floor, in bits.
The photographer maintains that the
piece of glass, when put into the
holder, was not broken.

FI V K CONFERENCE COLLEGES
REORGANIZE COLLEGIATE
ORATORY
TRIANGULAR LEAGUE CEASES
Montana Dropped From Activity,
Idaho Declines to Enter. Others
Participate.
The triangular oratorical league
now formed of Oregon, Montana and
Washington, originated six years ago,
though until three years ago Idaho
held tin1 place of Montana, will soon
be dissolved and in its stead a larger
one, formed of conference colleges,
will bo formed.
Contracts calling for annual oratori
cal contests between five of the North
west Conference colleges were sent
out today by Manager Geary of the
University of Oregon. This plan, to
make oratory one of the conference
activities, and which has been fos
tered by Oregon, will substitute the
Oregon-Washington-Mon tana inter
collegiate oratorical contests. Mon
tana is to be dropped from the com
petition. It was intended to include
all six of the Northwest Conference
colleges- Oregon, Washington, O. A.
C., W. S. 0., Whitman, and Idaho—
but Idaho has refused to participate
in this activity.
The first of the conference oratori
cal contests will be held at the Ore
gon Agricultural College early in
May. The location will rotate among
the colleges.
It is believed that the annual prizes
of $7f> and $25 for first and second
best individual orators, offered by the
King County Bar Association of Seat
tle, will be similarly offered to the
new organization.
Manager Geary has the written ra
tification of all of the colleges con
cerned, other than Idaho, so that the
first annual inter-collegiate oratorical
contest will occur in Corvallis in
May.
G. C. Huggins, ex-’14, is now on a
farm near Silverton, Oregon. He in
tends to enter college at the begin
ning of the second semester.
One of the features of the banquet
was the farewell to H. A. Dalzell,
TO, who has been engaged, since his
graduation, in boys’ work in this
state, but who leaves soon for Chi
cago, to take charge of the men’s de
partment of one of the largest
churches of that city.
HAS
NEWSPAPERS, WITH EAW SCHOOL SHEET
Number one, volume one, of the |
University of Oregon Law Depart-1
ment, “Mirnee,” a law student news
paper, printed in Portland, appeared
today on the campus in Eugene.
Though not exactly a competitor to
the Emerald, it gives the University
of Oregon the distinction of having
two newspapers. The new sheet is
typewritten, three columns and let
terhead sized. As the name indi
cates, the printing press, upon which
it is produced, is a mimeograph.
Strangely enough for a publication
from a law college, the publication
lacks an editorial page. And, like the
short lived flame, tfce Green Cap, it
lacks the name of its editors.
Rumors have it that Burns Powell,
former editor of the Oregon Emerald,
i.s star reporter. A reader gains the
same impressions from a perusal of
the sheet.
However, the baby newspaper is the
real thing. It contains “society,” per
sonals, good, live news, and editorials
sandwiched in between the “items.”
It reports the loss of a “copy boy,”
as follows:
" 1 his paper recently employed, out
ol pity, a poor hobo for copy boy
work. He failed to put in an appear
ance this morning at 6 a. m. The po
lice can find no trace of him. hie is
said to be an itinerant trombone
player, and gave the name of Burns
Powell.”
The new publication carries no ad
vertising.
