PUBLISHED THREE TIMES A WEEK UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY, MARCH 1, 1913. Vol. XIV; No. 62 COLLEGIATE ALUMNAE BRANCH ESTABLISHED 14 WOMEN ALUMNAE OF EAST ERN SCHOOLS UNITE WITH NATIONAL ASSOCIATION MISS GUPPY HEADS SOCIETY Eugene Branch Will Endeavor to Have University of Oregon Women Admitted. The National Association of Colleg iate Alumnae came into Eugene Feb ruary 27th, when at a meeting in the Commercial Club rooms, fourteen wo men alumnae of eastern institutions established the fiftieth branch of the association and the first one to be granted in the Northwest. Miss Ruth Guppy was elected chair man and Miss Dinsmore secretary of the local organization. To be eligible a member must be a graduate of cer tain American institutions designated by the Association, or must hold a non-professional degree from a for eign university. In Eugene there are twenty women college graduates with the requisites of admission. The faculty members are Mrs. if. Parsons, Miss Harriet Thompson, Dr. Bertha Stuart, Miss Ruth Guppy, of Michigan, Miss Bur gess, of Radcliffe, and Mrs. Eric Al len, of Wisconsin. A committee was appointed to draw up a constitution for the second meeting, March 13, in the Commercial Club rooms. The National Association of Col legiate Alumnae founded in 1882 with graduates of twenty-eight institutions of the country, now has a membership totalling over five thousand. Na tional conventions are held twice a year at places designated by the na tional committee. The object of the organization is to work along educational and philan thropic lines and to draw together the graduates of various schools who would otherwise never be able to meet. At present the University of Oregon women alumnae are not elig ible, but the Eugene branch proposes to work for their admission. The institutions belonging to the National Association are Barnard, Wellesley, California, Cornell, Grinell, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wiscon sin, Kansas, Stanford, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Northwestern, Mt. Holyoke, Oberlin, Radcliffe, Smith, Syracuse, Western Reserve, Lawrence, and Vassar. Last Saturday at a meeting of the University alumnae it was decided to entertain the Senior girls at an af ternoon reception, March 8, at the home of Miss Mary DfBar. Miss Guppy, Dean of Women, will talk on “Women Graduates and What They May Accomplish.” ENGINEERS RESENT PRESENCE OF OUTSIDERS IN SPEAKIN6 CLASS Professor Reddie Spoils Attempt of “Civils” to Make Life Unbearable for Scientifically Untutored. Professor Reddie’s class in Engin eer public speaking is, collectively and individually, trying to side track two members of the class, who are not engineers, and who can’t tell a parabolic curve from an azimuth, so they say. The two who “aint,” have been dubbed “high brows,” by the “civils,” ■ and for revenge, a conspiracy has been hatched among the engineers to speak in such technical terms as to make the oratorical efforts of the majority unbearable to the two lonely future students of Blackstone and Meacham. So far the efforts along this line have been of little avail, for Profes sor has become “wise.” But the war is still on, and the Engineers claim that they will rid the class of the two undesirables in some way. W.S.G. CAPTURESFAST WEI BAIL CONTEST WALKER STARS FOR OREGON QUINTET Superior Shooting of W. S. C. Men Wins Hardest Basketball Game of Year. The Washington State Colleg bas ketball team came back and defeated the varsity five by a 24 to 20 score, Thursday night, in a game fully as exciting as that played the night be fore. Although the Oregon players displayed the same fighting spirit which won Wednesday’s game, they were not as lucky in the matter of shooting baskets, as the Washington Aggies, who seemed to land almost at will from any point on the floor. Bohler, Anderson, and Sampson, starred for W. S. C. Bohler, the tall blonde forward, getting five baskets, while Sampson threw two field goals and four fouls. Walker played the strongest game for Oregon. Although suffering from a cut on his heod received early in the game, from a collision with Sampson, Walker succeeded in making 10 of the 20 points scored by his team. Cap tain Sims, although playing a strong game, ■ could not hit the basket with the same regularity as in the previous game. Stevenson was again used at center, but was replaced by Fenton in the second half. “Bill” Hayward sprung an agreeable surprise on the “rooters,” when he sent Fenton into the game, it having been reported that the tall center would be out of bas ketball for the rest of the season. Oregon will play O. A. C. Wednes day and Thursday evenings in the (Continued on last page.) SENIOR LOTTERY BALL AT FOLLY HALL TO BE MOST INFORMAL FUNCTION OF YEAR Senior President Edward Bailey, with Marjorie Cowan, will lead the Grand March next Tuesday evening that will open first Senior Lottery' Ball. Second in line will the last year’s Junior President Dean Walker, with Minne Holman. The dance will commence promptly at 8:15, at Folly Hall, with Hendershott’s orchestra furnishing the music. In keeping with the spirit and pur pose of the dance as it was first in tended, every effort will be made to maintain the utmost informality. There will be no decorations worthy of the name and no dress suits. An abundant supply of “exceedingly good punch” has been promised to wet the throats of those loudest in their praise of this innovation of the grad uating class. The patroness line will consist of the various house mo thers and Mrs. John Wagner, of Ash land. ] The following is the list of part ners as drawn by the committee last Tuesday for the Senior Lottery Dance: ; Edsel Ford and Alice Farnsworth. 1 Mason Roberts and Carin Deger- : mark.

Two important steps toward financ ing the Annual Interscholastic Meet were taken by the Executive Commit tee this afternoon. Elizabeth Busch and Burleigh Cash were appointed by President Carlton Spencer to nego tiate with the Dramatic Club toward turning over the play usually put on during the Junior Week-End by that organization to the Student Body, to be managed by the Executive Com mittee for the benefit of the meet, and Graduate Manager Arthur Geary was authorized to arrange a Grand Ball, also for the benefit of the meet. Benefit Ball Public Affair. This benefit ball is scheduled to come April 4, announced Geary this afternoon. “It will be open to Eugene and University society people alike, and will be a thoroughly formal func tion. On account of the size of the floor, it is not possible to entertain Eugene society people ordinarily. This ball, however, will be given as much in honor of them as of the Uni versity. It should be the most ex clusive affair of the year.” (Continued on last page.) USE COMMON SENSE SAYS J. D. THOMISON Hood River Editor, in Journalism Address, Sounds Warning Against Negligence. “With a little common sense a man can do anything he sets his mind upon,” said Joseph D. Thomison, a graduate of Stanford and now editor of the Hood River Glacier, in his ad dress yesterday before the students in Journalism. “The newspaper is not an exception to this.” “One of the easiest things for a country editor to do is to become neg ligent. To make a successful news paper man, he must take an active part in the town affairs, know the gossip and political situations. With the proper handling of these things he becomes a diplomat. It is not enough to have the minutes of a meet ing, but you must be there and get the spirit. The interest of the peo ple is proportionate to the interest evinced by the editor.” Mr. Thomison declared, “That a country paper is not a one man af fair. It is not the medium for a man’s own hobbies. You must act upon your own initiative, be your own boss, and write your own editorials. It is no bed of ease.” “There are three departments to :he country paper,” said Mr. Thomi son, ‘the editorial, news and the ad vertising. When you write an edi torial, know what you are talking ibout. Prevent your readers from retting angry with you; but if you lave an opinion, don’t veil it, but tome out in the open. The world oves a fighter and your readers are i part of the world. Be sincere, look ;o the future and take a lead in civic ifFairs.” In the way of advice to the young ournalists, Mr. Thomison warned igainst filling up the columns with date matter, and against the use of lackneyed expressions.

The annual inter-fraternity track meet will be staged early in April and the Doughnut League series of base ball will begin as soon as Captain Chandler has pulled off his inter-class games. Such was the action of the Inter-fraternity League in a meeting held yesterday afternoon. This means that inter-fraternity baseball will be gin the second or third week of this month. Colton Meek, Allyn ' Roberts, and Willard Shaver were appointed as a committee to confer with William Hayward and make all arrangements for the track meet. An early date for this event will undoubtedly be approved by Coach Hayward, as it will give him a line on his material and a possible chance of a “find” for the Varsity. All men are eligible to enter this meet except those who have won the official “O” on track. Whether base ball men will be allowed to enter has not been decided. Elmer Hall, Russel Calkins, and Raymond Giles form the committee (Continued on last page.) HAYWARD WILL MAKE TWO LECTURE TOURS Eastern and Southern Oregon Are Divisions—Bill Declines Several Dates. William Hayward will divide his state-wide High School lecture tour into two parts, according to his an nouncement made yesterday. He will leave for the Eastern Oregon leg of his journey sometime during the week commencing March 10. Returning from this trip, Bill will attend to his coaching duties at the University until the April vacation, when he will again take to the lec ture platform, this time making the towns in Southern Oregon. Several High Schools, especially in this dis trict, have requested that Hayward give his lecture before their Student Body, but the lack of time and the long jumps, have forced Bill to decline many invitations. The Eastern Oregon itinerary is as follows: Hood River, March 10; The Dalles, March 11; Pendleton, March 12; Athena, March 13; Baker, March 14; and Salem, March 17. CHARLES FISHER, UNIVERSITY REGENT, RETIRES FROM GUARD Charles H. Fisher, Regent of the University of Oregon, last night sold his interest in the Eugene Daily Guard, the evening paper, to his partner, E. J. Finneran. Mr. Fin neran purchased a half interest in the paper two years ago, coming here from Kansas City.

Men to Corvallis Contest. With a Zip Boom Bee, and with hopes to vanquish the Varsity five, one hundred and twenty-five O. A. C. stu dents, approximately, will invade Eu gene next Wednesday afternoon, ac companying their crack basketball team, which clashes with Hayward's five in two games. Word to this effect was received yesterday by Manager Geary, who commenced worrying where he will put the Aggie crowd, as the present seating capacity of the Gym is taxed to its limit at each game. Coincident with the Corvallis inva sion, Abe Blackman has started a movement to emulate the efforts of the Aggies, and has announced plans, elsewhere on this page for a similar excursion with the same purpose. EXCURSION PROBABLE FOR O.I.C. BALL GAME BLACKMAN HOPES TO ARRANGE SPECIAL ROOTERS’ TRAIN Crowd Can Leave Friday and Return Any Time For One Way Fare of $1.65. On to Corvallis next Friday even ing, for the O. A. C. basketball game, is the cry of Yell Leader Abe Black man, who has secured the promise of the Southern Pacific railroad to furn ish a special train to leave Eugene Friday, in time to make connection at Albany for the Corvallis train, for the one way rate of $1.65. In view of the fact that the Aggie aggregation will invade Eugene Wed nesday and Thursday for the two tangles here, Blackman has adopted this plan to insure a respectable root ing bunch to aid the last two Con ference games of the season with Coach Stewart’s five. Steps will immediately be taken to secure a crowd to make the trip. A canvass will be made Monday and Tuesday for the necessary coin to in sure transportation. Blackman an nounces to those with the ambition to help Oregon win: “Hand your money to me or to Dutch Young at once, and you will be saved a seat. Let’s get behind this little movement, and make it a go.” As to the details of the trip, the railroad officials say that the tickets ar® good for a return any time be fore Monday, thus making it possible to see both games for the fare. Any regular return train can be taken, making it convenient for those plan ning to go to the Student Body dance in the Gym on Saturday evening. M'GLUDE DEFEATED IN FIST CROSS COUNTRY WINDNAGLE NOSES OUT VET ERAN AT FINISH OF AN NUAL INTERCLASS RACE NEW RECORD OF 15:15 MADE Huggins Gets Third, With McConnel, Pack, and Fallen, Finishing Close Behind. Vere Windnagle defeated Captain McClure in the annual inter-class cross country yesterday afternoon and set a new record of 15 minutes and 16 seconds for the three mile course. The former record was 15 minutes and 24 seconds. This is the second time this year that the Port land Freshman has nosed out Mc Clure in the long run. The Sophomores lead in points, scoring 21, to 19 for the Freshmen. The Seniors followed with 16, and the Juniors tallied 9 through their single representative, Chet Huggins. Since eleven men started the race, the first man to cross the tape earned 11 points for his class, the second ten and so on down the scale. Yesterday McClure had Blackaby set a pace for him; says he did his best, and was defeated by two yards, l'he two ran side by side over the whole course, McClure leading. Wind nagle stuck close at his heels until within a quarter of a mile of the finish, then in a terrific sprint passed him in a sensational finish before 200 spectators. “I tried to lose him, but I could not,” admitted McClure after the race. “I knew that he could out-sprint me, and I tried to get a lead on him. It will take a good man to beat that Windnagle. The one who does it, will have to get up early in the morn ing. He is one of the best men I have ever met.” Hayward was pleased with the re sult of the race. “Windnagle stands today one of the best distance men on the coast,” declared the trainer. “The time was very good for this early in the season. It was so good, that I shall hold a second race within a month to see if they can do better." McClure ran his race against Wind nagle under a disadvantage. An in jury received at the meet in San Francisco a week ago has prevented any training during the week, and he donned his spikes for this race for the first time since his return. "I believe that I can defeat Wind nagle, when I am in condition,” de clared McClure last evening. Huggins finished an easy third, fol lowed by McConnel, Pack, Allen, Holt, Blackaby, Onthank, and Jaureguy.
