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

certer, showed up well for a new
man. getting one basket. Walker anc
Bovlen, the forwards, played a strong
game, although unlucky in the mat
te' c* baskets. The summary of las1

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.

GREEK ARCHITECTURE FURNISHES MOTIF FOR
OECORATIONS AT PAN-HELLENIC FORMAL

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

BASEBALL ENTERS INTO
VARSITY SPORT ARENA
Hayward Offers Cup for Inter-Clast
Series and Doughnut League to
be Revived.
Captain Ben Chandler has issuet
a call for baseball candidates* anc
announced that all who wish to try
out for the team must report at the
gymnasium each afternoon at
o’clock, if they wish to keep a squac
suit. Suits were issued to the ole
men yesterday.
The campus diamond is being rap
idly put in condition and will be
ready for use by the end of the week
The grass will be removed from th<
infield and two batting cages erected
Until the field is ready, and during
the rainy weather, it is planned tc
hold daily work outs in the “gym,” sc
that the men may be in good condi
tion early in the season.
In order to encourage early train
ing and a larger turn out for base
ball, “Bill” Hayward has again come
forward with a generous offer of i
handsome silver cup to be presentee
to the winner of an inter-class base
ball league. The games are to b>
played early in the season in order te
bring out all the available varsity
material and afford a chance of get
ting a line on the new men. The
games will begin March 10, and th< |
schedule, although not yet completed j
will be announced within a few
days.
In addition to the inter-clas;
games, the inter-fraternity Doughnu
League will again be installed thi;
year, and promises to bring out ar
array' of talent.
Men, turn over a new leaf in your
book of life, decide to attend the reg
ular meetings of the Y. M. C. A.
every Thursday evening, at 7 o’clock,
in Deady Hall. Good addresses and

ALLOW NO LOAFERS
IN EUTAXIAN RANKS
Three Unexcused Absences Will Re
move Offender from Roil of
Membership.
“No more loafers,” was the jist of
the amendment, passed by the Eutax
ians Tuesday evening in Johnson
Hall, which stated that any woman
having three unexcused absences
would be dropped from the member
ship roll. A committee, composed of
Flora Dunham, Lucile Davis, and
Mildred Healy, was also appointed to
suggest further amendments to the
constitution.
In order to fill the vacancies in the
membership list, it was decided to
; elect six new members at the next
j meeting. The programs for the re

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.

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.
