RED TIE BRANDS BROOKS «S
BASKETBALL MIDGET ON TEAM
'
Graduate Manager Buys Neckwear
Which Tiny Forward Will Wear
for Week.
A big red necktie is being worn by
Irvin Brooks, the smallest man on
the University of Oregon basketball
team, and will be worn by him for
one entire week, as the result of a
meeting between the midget and
Manager Geary at a local haberdash
ery store, Friday afternoon.
Geary had stepped into the store
to buy a tie, and the clerk was busy
"pushing” a florid colored piece of
masculine attire. Brooks strolled
into the same store and his presence
tempted the astute manager to offer
to buy the almost impossible tie for
the little forward, if he would wear
it for seven days.
“Sure I will,” was the reply, as
the diminutive player stuck the neck
tie in his pocket, and walked out.
Geary paid for it.
INK ALREADY
WELL UNDER WAY
Minnesota Firm Gets Engraving Con
tract—Law and Medic Sections
Completed.
Editor Don Rice, of the 1914 Ore
gana, announces that the Athletic,
Class. Law, and Medic cuts have been
received, as well as the page border,
drawn by Miss Phernie Miller, ’15, of
Creswell, and will be sent to the en
gravers the first part of next week.
Bess Cowden, ’14, Leslie Emmons,
and Thornton Howard, ’15, are the
chief contributors to the art section.
The engraving contract has been
signed with the Buckbee-Mears Co.,
of St. Paul, Minnesota; the same
company which did the work for the
Oregana last year.
The Law and Medic sections of the
book are complete and ready for the
printers. Two former University
students, Melvin Ogden. '11, and
Harry Viereck, ex-’14, have had ‘
charge of the Portland end of the
1914 year book. Special attention
will be given the 0. A. C. game in
the athletic section, which is in
charge of Maurice Terpening. Other
special write ups will feature this de
partment.
The size of the book this year is
larger than last year, the 1914 Ore
gana being 10- by 7-% by 714. This
will make it longer and narrower
than the former one. A better qual
ity of paper has been selected in or
der to improve the appearance of the
half tones.
Manager Bean reports that there
has been an encouraging subscription
for the 1914 Oregana. He has been
assisted by Allie Grout.
At the class meetings on February
12, the group pictures of the 1915
and 1916 classes will be taken.
COACH SELECTION COMMITTEE FAVORS ONE
INSTRUCTOR FOR ALL ’VARSITY SPORTS
•The committee, composed of Pro
fessor H. B. Leonard, Manager
Geary, and Captain Bradshaw, author
ized by the Athletic Council to make
the selection of a football coach for
the season of 1913, decided at a meet
ing held this morning, to securing an
all around all year man,—one that
will be able to coach football and
baseball as well as to teach in the
University, if other candidates prove
unavailable.
This decision puts a new phase on
the coach situation. It practically
means that if such a man can be
found, even though he is not a grad
uate, he will be preferred.
This will effect Pinkham in that'
he is only a football player. Last•
year’s coach is favored by the com
mittee, but to give up a lucrative en
gineering job, Pinkham wants a sub
stantial increase in salary before he
will return. If the management sees
fit to grant this request, Pinkham
may be chosen.
However, if some man can be found
who is able to coach more than one
1 branch of athletics, and if provision
can be made for a part of his salary i
to be paid by the University for
teaching, although this point has not

293 OF 325 UNIVERSITY MEN
INVESTIGATION CONDUCTED BY Y. M. C. A. SHOWS THAT ENGIN
EERING LEADS WITH 109—NUMBER OF DEPARTMENT
MAJORS DOES NOT SHOW REAL TREND OF THE
STUDENT INTENTIONS
After an investigation conducted by
the Y. M. C. A. that reached every
man in the University, it has been
found that out of the total number
of men in the institution, or 325, 203
have decided upon their life work.
Only 32, or about ten per cent of the
men, have not settled the question.
Of the favored professions, engin
eering is far in the lead with 109
students signifying that they intended
to follow that work. Law followed
with 53, medicine with 35, business1
attracted 34, journalism 15, educa
tion 14, while 10 declared that they
were going to heed the “back to the
land” movement, and be farmers.
Christian service was the calling of
six, as was also architecture. Chem
istry had attracted four, mining three,
while music had one to its credit.
A comparison of these figures with
the number of majors in the various
departments of the University shows |
that the enrollment in the different
courses does not indicate in some in
stances the trend of the student’s in
tentions.
There are 93 engineering majors,
while there are 16 more men in col
lege who intend to be engineers. The
same condition holds in the Journal
ism department. There are only five
majors with Professor Allen, but
there are 15 aspiring newspapermen
in the University.
Less than one-half, by two, of
those majoring in the department of
economics and political science, or 53,
have any intention of becoming law
yers. The department of chemistry
contains similar conditions. Here
there are 13 majors, but only four
men on the campus intend to follow
chemistry after they graduate. The
specializing nature of the study of
medicine is shown by the fact that

a week. Dr. Smith has had consider
able work along the line of Astron
omy, at Columbia University, and

BOOTH DECRIES LACK
OF CHURCH ACTIVITY
Y. M. C. A. Must Act As Balance
Wheel Between Employer and
Employee.
“Too long have the churches de
layed taking part in the great indus
trial struggle toward social justice,”
said Hon. R. A. Booth before the Y.
M. C. A.. Thursday evening, on the
subject, “The New Industrialism.”
“The demands of labor at times are
unjust, as well as the employer’s
wrongs, and there can be no better
balance-wheel between the two than
the educated Y. M. C. A. man, the
embodiment of Christianity in ac
tion.”
Hon. R. A. Booth does not decry
the present strife and trouble in in
dustrialism. “Out of these struggles
taking form in strikes, labor unions,
and party platforms will come in
dustrial justice, and it is the place of
Christianty to bring about the final
permanent peace.”
An important part of the program
was the vocal solo by Florence Avery
to the accompaniment of the new
Shubert piano recently purchased by
the Y. M. C. A.
The speaker for next Thursday
evening will be Hon. B. L. Eddy, of
Roseburg, on the subject, “Christian
ity and Modern Politics.”

Hon. B. L. Eddy, of Roseburg, Pro

C. A. meeting next Thursday evening,

modern Christianity now being given
j by the Y. M. C. A.
Mr. Eddy appeared in Eugene just
! before the November elections,
speaking in the Presbyterian Church
on a temperance subject. He is a
forceful speaker, and understands .
men and audiences well, say those
who heard him. As a lawyer, Mr. j
Eddy has had much experience, and
is well known throughout the Wiliam-1

JERARD S ROUND UP SONG BRINGS
GIFT FROM PENDLEFON PEOPLE
(told Watch Fob Presented to Singer
—Rewards Realistic Cowboj
Impersonation.
“To Bert Jerard, from the Pendle
ton Round-Up Association,” is the!
engraving on a solid gold watch fob
locket received yesterday morning
by Jerard, for singing his Round-Up
song while on the Glee Club tour.
This song, which was one of the
hits of the club’s program, was ren
dered in a realistic manner at every
concert given by the Glee Club, and
this action was so appreciated by the J
Round-Up Association, that vney sur
prised the singer with the present.
On one side of the locket is a raised
picture of the Round-Up emblem, the
bucking horse. On the other side is
the inscription.
Jerard played with the Round-Up
band last summer, and was with the
organization when it made its trip
into Canada to advertise the Round
Up.
Hlllll FRIT GAME TO
PROCEED CLUB TUSSLE
SiRms Chi and Fiji Provide Curtain
Raiser to Deeidc Cup
Ownership.
(By “Cinders.”)
Finals in the inter-fraternity bas
keball tournament will be played be
tween Sigma Chi and Phi Gamma
Delta this evening as a preliminary
to the Multnomah game. This was
decided at a meeting of the Inter
I'raternity League Thursday after
noon. To the winner of this series
will go the Hayward trophy cup,
though before it passes into their
hands “for keeps” they must success
fully defend it for two years.
Vosper, at forward for the Sigma
Chi during the Dormitory contest, but
who was retired with a sprained
ankle, will be back in the game to
night. Both teams are playing fast
ball and the dope has it that this will
be one of the hardest fought, games
of the season. The line up will be:
Sigma Chi—Vosper and G. Watson,
forwards; Moorhead, center; Sims,
and Briedwell, guards. Phi Gamma
Delta—Hidden and Fisher, forwards;
Grout, center, and Gould and Meek,
guards.
The Multnomah argument promises
to be good,—they have in their quin
tet some old college stars, and one
former Oregon man, Harry Viereck,
ex-‘14.
Bill Hayward will not announce the
line up of the University five until
this evening and adds, “not even the
old men have their places cinched.
Some pretty good material has been
trying out lately.” He expects to

eastern Oregon,—taking in all about
ten days. So far satisfactory an

Halles, Hood River, La Grande, Pen

three Portland High Schools.
Last year Coach Hayward gave a
talk just before track season to the
trackmen of the local High School.
It was such a success that other
schools about the State asked for the
same thing and it was decided that
a trip to as many of the institutions
as possible would give worth while'

OLGA STEfB, NOTED PIHKT, IS INITIATED
INTO LOCAL MU PHI EPSILON CHAPTER
Miss Olga Steeb, who played in
concert at Villard Hall Thursday
evening, and who is one of the most
famous and admired of contemporary
pianists, was initiated into Mu Phi
Epsilon, during her stay in Eugene,
as an honorary member of Nu chap
ter. This is an honor which is con
ferred only upon musicians who have
pained international fame and the
initiation of these honorary members
is the cause of much pride and riv
alry among the different chapters.
Miss Steeb has been enthusiasti
cally received throughout Germany
and the European musical centers, so
ler initiation as a member of the lo
I<-al chapter is of interest to Univer
j sity people as well as to the musical
enthusiasts of the Northwest. Miss
Kteeb makes the eighth honorary
member of Mu Phi Epsilon. The
others are: Miss Tina Lerner, Miss
Germaine Schnitzer, Miss Gerraldine
Ferrar, Madame Schuman-Heink,
Miss Alice Nielson, Miss Lenore
Jackson, Miss Louise Homer.
The granting of a Phi Mu charter
to a woman’s organization gives to
Whitman College its first national
fraternity and also the first charter
granted to any school in the North
west of this fraternity.
