CAPT. CHANDLER OPIIMISTIC
Spring Practice Begins in Two
Weeks—Incoming Freshmen
Bring Players.
In two weeks the University of Ore
gon baseball season opens. Never be
fore, declares Captain and Coach Ben
Chandler, of the Oregon team, have
the University of Oregon baseball
prospects been brighter. Already is
success spelled in figuring out the
problematical position for a host of
available material. Oregon baseball
enthusiasts expect to duplicate the
championship record of last season
when the entire Northwest bowed to
Oregon.
The team loses four men—’tis true
they are too good men to lose—but
there are strong men pushing up for
the places of men who are back and are
equally as good men as those who
left. Competition for places will be
exceptionally keen this year.
“Prep” Men Must Make Good.
Like Trainer Hayward, Captain
Chandler does not believe in puffing
up his new untried men too much on
the strength of past “prep” school
records. But here is a brief sum
mary of the best two or three men in
prospect at present for the nine
places.
For catcher, “Ty” Cobb is gone—his
loss is the most serious of any; and
catcher will be the hardest position
on the team to fill. Second catcher of
last year, Vernon Motschebacher,
must contend for his job with a Fresh
man from Portland Academy—and
one one with a “rep.” This is Herb
Thatcher.
For pitcher, Peet is gone, but there
are three fairly good right handed
men on hand. Johnny Welch was sec
ond pitcher last year. Lyle Bigbee,
from Albany, is good, and R.Tuerck is
the name of a new student, who has
just entered from Lincoln High. He
has a “rep.”
Fenton to First.
At first base, Jamison is gone, but
last year, when “Jami” pitched, Fen
ton came in from right field. And
Fenton will probably stay in from
right field this year, unless one bright
Freshman, one "Josh” Billings, from
Olympia, Wash., beats him out of his
job in the infield, and tells his super
ior to beat it to the tall grass. Bil
lings is a good hitter, so they say.
There was no regular second base
man last year. Several men were
shifted to it, but the men who seem

OREGON HOUSEMOTHERS TAKE
WORK IN COLLEGE COURSES
Mrs. Stearns Majors in Journalism,
While Mrs. Kuyler Studies
Architecture.
A recent Associate Press dispatch
originating in a Middle. West Univer
sity recently told of a mother and son
attending- the same classes. Oregon
is not to be out done. Two sorority
house-mothers at the University have
registered in the University. Others
are attending classes unregistered,
while still another of the University
women is a matron who comes all the
way from the Philippines to receive a
college education.
This latter is Mrs. Lillian A. Sea
ton, of Manila. She is taking a reg
ular four year course and carries the
customary number of studies. She is
making her college studies her prime
purpose in Eugene.
The two house-mothers registered
at the University are Mrs. Stearns, of
the Mary Spiller House, who is ma
joring in Journalism; and Mrs. Rod
ger I. Kuyler, of Kappa Kappa Gam
ma, who is studying architecture.
OREGON STUDENTS AT
HARVARD ARE LOYAL
Hold Reunion for Alumni Who Are
Registered in Schools Near
Cambridge.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., ..Feb. .11.—
(Special to the Emerald.)—The Ore
gon Club of Harvard University gave
another of a series of informal teas,
at the home of Mrs. Walsh, Saturday,
February 1. The rooms were decor
ated with the proverbial “lemon and
yellow,’’ enabling the 30 guests to for
get the 3,000 miles between “home”
and themselves.
The hospitality of the club was ex
tended to all former Oregon residents.
Among the former Oregon students
present were Miss Jessie Chase, ’09,
now residing in Boston, Miss Frieda
Goldsmith, ’12, attending Wellesley;
Messrs. Varnel Beach, ’09, Roy Terry,
TO, Joel Richardson, TO, B. Williams,
TO, Wendell C. Barbour (president of
the club), T2, John Kelly, T2, and Wm.
Munley, of Oregon Law School. Other
Oregon guests were present from
Wellesley, Emerson, Harvard Law,
Boston Teck, Harvard University and
New England Conservatory, the latter
representatives having already
planned for the next tea to be held at
New England Conservatory, Boston.
Students at Mississippi Agricultural
and Mechanical College have clashed
with state authority. About 250 men
left the college because of an order of
the president of the institution for
bidding men from visiting women stu
dents in class rooms out of study
hours. Governor Brewer declares
j that, if neccessary, he will call the
militia to protect loyal students whose
j safety is endangered by strikers.
0. A. G. GLEE CLUB, APPEARING IN EUGENE,
CEMENTS BONDS OF COLLEGIAN FRIENDSHIP
Another link in the fast-growing
bond of union between the students
of Oregon’s institutions of learning
was cemented Saturday evening, when
the Oregon Agricultural College Glee
Club, returning the visit of the Uni
versity organization to Corvallis last
month, sang before an audience of
three hundred and fifty Oregon stu
dents, in the First Christian Church.
The measure of their success was in
dicated by the enthusiastic applause
accorded every number of their pro
gram-choruses, solos, instrumental
selections and specialties, alike win
ning hearty plaudits and calling for
repeated encores.
The concert opened with a choir se
lection, “Medley from the Southland”
—a harmonious blending of strains
from ‘Swanee River,” “Back to Dixie,”
“Old Black Joe,” “My Old Kentucky
Home,” “Massa’s in the Cold, Cold
Ground,” and “Dixie.” As encores
were rendered two comic selections,
"The Jungle Wedding,” by the club,
and “The Animal Fair,” by the Quar
tette.
Joy Scudder, an accomplished elo
cutionist, gave three readings: An
anonymous plea for magnanimity,
“Not Understood”; “The Wreck of
the Jlia Plante,” a rFench-Canadian

RAGGED PLAYING AND POOR
ACCURACY GIVES LEAD
TO WASHINGTON
LAST NIGHT
SCORE WAS RAD: 25 TO 10
Hayward's Basketball Men Fail to
Score for Nearly Seven Minutes
of Play.
SEATTLE, Wash., P'eb. 10.—Em
erald Staff Correspondence.—Oregon
lost the first game of the trip to
Washington by a score of 25 to 10.
The game was ragged and in all ways
a poor exhibition of basketball.
Marked by poor basket shooting j
and inaccurate passing on the part
of Oregon. The score at the end of
the first half was 11 to 0.
Oregon did not score until after
six minutes of play in the second
half. Rice and Boylen were substi
tuted for Sims and Walker the last
nine minutes. McFee starred for
Washington with 10 points and Byler
with 3; for Oregon, Bradshaw 4, Fen
ton 2, Boylen 4.
Oregon plays its second game with
the University of Washington to
night. The men feel somewhat pro
voked over the poor exhibition of last
evening, and are determined to make
a fight to reverse the score. In the
game tonight, they will not be under
the disadvantage of having to get
used to the floor, which gave the set
back last evening.
Hayward will not announce his
line-up until time of game this even
ing. All men are in good condition.
THREE TRYOUTS WILL
PICK CO ED DEBATERS
March 1, First Day Set—Contestants
May Choose Either Side of
Question.
Three try-outs will determine the
Co-ed debating; team; the first occurs
Saturday morning1, March 1; second,
Saturday morning, March 8; third,
Saturday morning, March 15. Each
contestant will be alowed an eight
minute speech and a three minute re
buttal. An average of ranking in
each try-out will determine the final
team.
The contestants in the first try-out
may take either side. Those in the
second must take opposite sides, while
the final contestants have the choice
of sides.
Although the contract with the Uni
versity of Washington calls for a
team of three members, a dual con
test has been proposed, consisting of
two contestants each, by the Co-ed
debaters.
The women are quite enthusiastic
over debate here and at their request
Coach Prescott will take the matter
to the Executive Committee and to
Manager Geary, making an effort to
change the present contract to two
teams of two contestants each. The
plan is to have one debate here and
one in Seattle each year.
Coach Prescott announces that an
award in the nature of a loving cup
will be made to the best individual
debater in the final try-out.
Elizabeth Snell, who has been
teaching in Naples, Idaho, has re

When Bill Hayward returns from
his Inland Empire trip with the bas
ketball team, he will find a track sur
prise waiting for him in the person
of Vere Windnagle, who was supposed
to have left for Cornell. Before
starting out for the Eastern college,
however, Windnagle thought it advis
able to investigate as to the chances
of entrance there and an answer to
his telegram of inquiry showed that
his credits at present are insufficient.
Another stellar distance man has
appeared at Oregon to gladden the
heart of the veteran track coach.

also a strong contender with McClure
in both the long distance events.

DUNN LECTURES ON
Illustrates Task by Pictures of
Famous Roman Arches Which
He Describes.
“The building of arches to com
memorate great events has been the
custom, to some extent, of all nations
from the Greek and Roman down to
the present time,” said Professor
Dunn this afternoon, in his lecture on
“Triumphal Arches,” “but those con
structed in Rome during the reign of
the Emperors are the; best known and
the most worthy of study.”
Professor Dunn showed pictures of
the Arches of Titus, Servenus, and
Constantine, as the three greatest of
Roman history.
“Periods of history can be studied
from these several arches,” said Pro
fessor Dunn, “as each is distinctive
of the activity of the emperor who
erected it. That of Titus, showing
the Fall of Jerusalem, Servenus, the
Conquest of Syria, and Constantine,
the Beginning of Christianity.”
“The arch of Constantine depicts
three epochs of history,” said Pro
fessor Dunn, for the man, for which
it was named, destroyed three arches
•cpresenting three periods of history
I in order to build his arch.”
I Of her arches in Athens and remains
in the destroyed Roman cities of Af
rica were shown during the course of
the lecture.

TENDERED BANQUET
In Future Oregon and O. A. C.
Club Will Appear
Together.
Following the O. A. C. Glee Club
concert Saturday night, a banquet was
given in honor of the visitors at the
Osburn Hotel by the Oregon Glee
Club. Graduate Manager Arthur
M. Geary presided; and through his
jovial nature the occasion was one of
enjoyment.
The banquet also had its serious
side- that of further cementing the
ties between O. A. C. and Oregon.
Toastmaster Geary first called on
President P. L. Campbell, who pointed
out the importance of the occasion
to both (). A. C. and Oregon. Profes
sor John Straub then re-enforced
President Campbell’s remarks, nnd
laid especial emphasis on the fact
that the two institutions must work
together.
V. T. Motschenbacher, first tenor on
the Oregon Glee Club, struck the key
note of the situation when he illus
trated the difficulties between O. A. C.
and Oregon by referring to the num
ber on the program given by O. A. C.,
“Not Understood,” a reading by Joy
Scudder.
The Oregon speakers were respond
ed to by several O. A. C. men, among
them being President Montague of the
club, Director Gaskins and Manager
Wilson. An important motion was
put by Professor Gaskins, which was
unanimously passed, to the effect that
in the future, when the O. A. C. club
sings in Eugene, the Oregon Glee Club
will unite with them in certain songs
under the leadership of the O. A. C.

ENROLL II0.
1,602 STUDENTS NOW REGIST
ERED IN VARIOUS DE
PARTMENTS AT
OREGON.
ONLY EIGHT “FLUNK. OUT"
Five Freshmen, Two Sophomores, and
One Junior, Are Forced to
Leave College.
Forty now students were enrolled
yesterday upon the opening day of
the second semester at the University
of Oregon. The total enrollment at
the University is now 1 ,G()2, which is
22 per cent larger than at the same
time last year. This number is di
vided into the following departments:
College of Literature, Science and
Arts, 702; School of Medicine, 65;
Law School, 5*5*3; Music Department,
125; Correspoi -'cnce Department, 315;
Summer Schoc Department, 171.
Eight students “flunked out,” that
is failed to pass in a sufficient number
of college studies to be allowed to re'
main in college. This number is un
usually small, and according to Reg
istrar Tiffany represents a higher
standard of work at the University,
lie declares that courses have been
made “stiffer” than usual this year,
but ‘n spite of this grades seem to be
higher.
Of those who failed to make the
required standards, live were
Freshmen, two Sophomores, and
one a Junior. A Faculty meeting was
held at 4 o’clock today to consider
petitions for reinstatement. A small
er number of students flunked this
past semester than for several previ
ous years, twelve being the usual
average.
Five of these majored in the eco
nomics department, one in mathema
tics, one in English literature, and
one in physical training. Seven of
the eight “Hunkers” were men stu
dents.
The preliminary try-out for Sopho
more representatives against the
Freshmen in the annual Freshmen
Sophomore debate will be held the
second Saturday in March, and the
second try-out will follow one week
later. Constructive argument will be
limited to five minutes, with two min
utes for rebuttal. The question for
debate is: “Resolved, That Life Im
j prisonment With Restrictive rower of
Pardon Is a Desirable Substitute for
Capital Punishment in Oregon.” The
Sophomores have the negative. All
Sophomores desiring to compete,
should hand in their names to James
Donald, Maurice Hill, or Clarence
Urotherton, Sophomore committee on
debate.
WILL HAVE DISTINCT VALENTINE EFFECT
The Freshman dance, which will be
held in the Gymnasium on February
In, promises to be a complete success.
The committee appointed by President
Prosser has been actively engaged for
the past month in making preliminary
preparations for the event, and they
have many surprises in store. The
coin nittee has been divided into sub
committees, each taking charge of a
'dir, phase of the dance.
Inasmuch as St. Valentine’s Day
and ‘.lie day set for the dance are only
one (’ay apart, the decorations will
have a distinct Valentine effect, with
red as the prevailing color. Five
thousand hearts of red pasteboard
and of various sizes are being made
to decorate the main floor of the Gym
nasium. The color scheme will be
completed through a liberal use of
re1' crepe streamers and evergreen.
The room in which the refreshments
are to be served is in charge of a spe
cial committee and its decoration will
be given particular care. The exact
nature of the program is not known,
but will undoubtedly be in keeping
with the general scheme of decora
tion. Elaborate lighting effects have
been devised and include many orig
inal ideas. The floor will receive es
pecial attention and will be placed in
the best possible condition for the
dance.
