LEAGUE Meeting of directors, Friday afternoon, Schmidt’s room, four o’clock. Vol. XIV; No. 61 PUBLISHED THREE TIMES A WEEK UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1913. W.S.C. LOSES TO OREGON EIVE OREGON TAKES FIRST OF TWO GAMES FROM W. S. C. BY SCORE OF 19 TO 17 FASTEST GAME OF THE SEASON Neither Team Has Lead of Over Foui Points During Game Wild With Rooting. The Varsity five defeated the Washington State College basketbal. team, leaders of the Northwest Con ference, by a 19 to 17 score, last night, in one of the most exciting games ever seen on the local floor Although W. S. C. led up to the mid dle of the second half, there was at no time more than four points differ ence in the score, and the rooters were kept in continual suspense throughout the game. With the score 17 to 13 in favor of W. S. C. and with but three minutes to play, Captain Sims threw twc fouls and shot a difficult basket from near the sidelines, which brought the rooters to their feet. It looked like a repetition of last Friday’s game with the University of Washington in which the teams were compelled tc play off the tie, when with less thar 30 seconds to play, Walker threw the winning basket. For Washington State, Anderson Sampson, and Captain Lowrie starred. Anderson, the small for ward, throwing four baskets, while Sampson threw five fouls out of seven attempts. The work of Lowrie in taking the ball down the field anc playing running guard was remark able. Although the whole Oregon team showed a marked improvement in their play since the University of Washington games, Captain Sims was undoutedly the star of lasf night’s contest. Sims held his for ward to one basket and succeeded ir getting five field goals and five fouls c^'ifked up to his credit. Stevenson vi’1" > was us d in Fenton’s place a certer, showed up well for a new man. getting one basket.

WOMEN S CHORAL CLUB MANAGER GETS BEST TERMS IN THEATRE CONTRAGT In Addition to Usual Concessions, Catherine Carsons Secures Orchestra Free. Manager Geary has reasons to al low a University Co-ed to make the rest of his contracts this year. Re cently Catherine Carson, as manager of the Women’s Choral Club, did what many others have tried to do while in the University, but have failed. Making contracts with Manager George H. Smith, of the Eugene Theatre, is said to be an art, when it comes to getting terms. But when the manager of the Women’s Glee un dertook the task, Smith weakened. For besides granting the usual 25 per cent and 75 per cent division of the house receipts, as has been the cus tom with University theatricals, the astute representative of the singers secured the promises in the form of a written contract that the theatre management would furnish the or chestra and pay for the advertising. This is the first time that any man ager of any University activity has ever secured such terms, especially since the mentioned contract stipul ated that the women could practice with the orchestra once. FAST GROSS COUNTRY RUN ASSURED FRIDAY McCLURE, HUGGINS, AND WIND NAGLE TO CONTEND Unusually Fast Lot of Men Enter for Annual Inter-class Affair Tomorrow. The annual inter-class cross country run scheduled for Friday afternoon, at 4 o’clock, has aroused unusual in terest about the campus. This will be the second meeting of Captain Mc clure and Vere Windnagle, two dis tance runners, acknowledged to be the best in the Northwest, if not the Pacific Coast. McClure is not in the best of condition, having received a slight injury to an ankle in the recent Indoor Meet in San Francisco. Wind nagle is reported in good condition. A third man, who may push both McClure and Windnagle for first hon ors, is Chester Huggins, who re-en tered college this semester. Although he has had but a short time to train he has been able to stand the pace set by the veteran McClure so far this season. The race between these three men promises to be a battle royal. Besides the race for 'the first three places there will be several close fin ishes between such men as Pack, Al len, McConnell, Onthank, and Black aby. Continued on page two.

STUDENTS PASS AMENDMENTS AND RE-ELECT EMERALD CHIEF TAX RAISED FROM FIVE TO EIGHT DOLLARS TO INCLUDE PUR CHASE OF SEASON TICKET — MONTHLY IS KILLED. AND SWEATER SUPPLY FOR ATHLETES CUT OFF — All amendments proposed by the committee on the revision of the Con stitution and By-Laws of the Asso ciated Students, were passed under suspended rules, at the regular meet ing of the Student Body yesterday morning. Likewise Karl Onthank was unanimously re-elected as editor of the Oregon Emerald for the present semester. After the first reading of the pro posed amendments, motions were passed to proceed with the vote on the amendments and the Emerald edi tor, in view of the fact that the changes had been printed fully in the Emerald. A motion to consider the amendments by divisions, as they had been formulated, instead of separat ly, was also accepted. The first division included changes in the Constitution and Article I, II and III, of the By-Laws. The most important revision here was in Ar ticle I, Section 1, of the Constitution, amended to raise the Student Body tax from five to eight dollars, which will henceforth include a student ticket, which will admit the student to all games and contests held on the campus. This, regarded as the most important change of all, did not re ceive a dissenting vote. Article II, Section 1, of the Con stitution, was amended to include the Graduate Manager as an officer of the Association. A change making for more system atic handling of the Student Body funds was the addition of Section 8 to Article II, providing that the President and two members of the Executive Council approve all bills and sign all warrants for disburse ment of all Student Body money. Also Article IX was added to the Constitution to provide for the ex pert auditing of the accounts and rec ords of the Graduate Manager, once a year. In Article I, Section 3, of the By Laws, the provision which devoted fifteen per cent of Student Body funds to1 Student Body publications was stricken out. Under the second division, Athlet ics, Section 2, of Article II, was stricken out. Section 2 now provides that no member of the varsity teams may receive more than one sweater or jersey in one college year. A further reward is inaugurated in Section 3, which is added to the article. Any man winning his emblem for three years in either track or football, and who has turned out for three years in either activities, will be given a green Indian blanket, on which will be a lemon-yellow block “O.” This (Continued on last page.)

SPRING EVENTS INTEREST GIRLS TOURNAMENTS IN TENNIS ANT GOLF—INDOOR TRACK MEET AMONG EVENTS FIELD HOCKEY GIVEN UP New Athletic Association for Womer Proposed—Would Create Interest Without Competition. Two athletic tournaments, with trophys, are the principle objects or the horizon of spring athletics among the University women. The first if the annual Tennis Club series for the championship of the college; the sec ond is to be the first annual golf tour nament, to be held in May, just be fore the examinations. Co-ed athletics since the close oi the eventful basketball series have been of the routine nature, and th( girls are longing for the spring weather. Already a few have ven turned onto the tennis court, but il will not be until well into April be fore regular gymnasium work shifts from the floor to the courts. To ward the last of April the Tennis Club will hold its try-outs for mem bership; following these the spring series begin. The golf tournamenl is new. The Luckey Jewelry Com pany has offered a silver cup to tht winner, whose name will be engravec upon it. The cup will remajin in her possession until the following year, when it will be awarded again Field hockey, a proposed innova tion this year, will be impossible be cause of lack of funds to finance it To provide for sticks and parapher nalia would cost $50. Field hockey is very similar to ice hockey, but it played upon the football field. The first event of the season is tht indoor track meet to occur early Ik April. The date has not yet beer fixed. A women’s athletic association, de signed on an entirely new principle and planned to include every women in the University, is the object of a women’s mass meeting which will be held next week. Athletic associations which have been formed in other colleges, such as Smith, Wellesly, and Michigan, have had for their aim merely to create in terest in gymnastic and athletic sports. But the plan of Dr. Stuart and Miss Thompson for Oregon’s as sociation will be on a different basis. (Continued on last page.) SENIOR LOTTERI DUNCE NEXT TUESDAY; WILSON INIII1ED OUT WIRES RE8RETS Tuesday afternoon at one of the sorority houses occured an event, the first of its kind at the University. Partners were selected for the Sen ior dance next Tuesday night, and with no regard for the respect of cupid. The names of one hundred Seniors were divided between two hats; girls in one, the men in the other. Then the drawing began, and in a quarter of an hour a committee of three matched enough couples to worry a chronic matchmaker a whole season at the beach. It made no difference who | came, down they went two by two, J and so they will stand to the grand | march in the Folly Theatre on Tues day evening. Thus the Senior Lot tery dance has become a reality—all except the announcement of who’s who. This will be a shrouded mys tery until the appearance of the Em erald Saturday night. “But why not tell us our partners until then,” was the cry from vir tually every Senior on the list. “There’s a reason,” declared a member of the committee today. “When you see the list of combina j lions, you’ll know why. Every Sen ior is going, the mere knowledge of the name of the partner is of little consequence.” March 4, is the date of the dance. President Wilson was wired a special invitation, but he has already replied with his regrets, declaring the inaug uration in Washington a prior en gagement.
