Each Sport Will Have Its Own Com

After Vacation.
Temporary organization for the
University of Oregon Women’s Ath
letic Association was perfected this
afternoon at 3 o’clock, at a mass
meeting of the women of the Univer
sity at the Women’s Gymnasium,
and a committee appoined consisting
of Faye Ball, Pauline Coe, and Louise
Bailey, to draw up a constitution, to
be presented at the next meeting Sat
urday afternoon at 1 o’clock, when
the permanent organization will be ef
fected and officers elected.
Each Sport to Have Committee.
Carin Degermark was chairman of
the meeting and Grace Hartley acted
as secretary. Miss Harriet Thomp
son explained the purposes of the pro
posed organization, and what it would
mean to the women of the University.
The plan as outlined for the man
agement of the various sports that
will come under the Association’s jur
isdiction, which includes tennis, field
hockey, basketball, archery, canoeing,
walking clubs, field anfl track meets
and golf, is to have an Executive Com
mittee in general charge of all the
sports, with a special committee com
posed of the captains or leaders in
each activity in immediate charge of
the sport.
This will give to the women virtual
control of their own activities. There
will be dues, but they will apply only
to the incidental expenses, the Uni
versity paying for all apparatus.
Tennis, golf, and field hockey, will
^ be the only sports indulged in this
spring, and the latter only after the
«' spring vacation. The track and field
meet will have to be held in the Gym
again this year, on account of a scarc
ity of funds with which to buy appar
atus.
ENGINEERS SPEND WEEK-END
IN SURVEYING RAILROAD
Ed. Martin and O. Stohr, two Seniors
in the Engineering departments, spent
the last week-end seventeen miles up
the Mohawk River, doing partial en
gineering work under Professor Mc
Alister’s supervision. The two stu
dents are surveying and planning a
spur line for the Mohawk branch of
the Southern Pacific. This supplants
the regular thesis requirements of the
department.

BASKETBALL MORE PROFITABLE TO
PHYSICIANS THAN BARBARIC FOOTBALL
Doctor’s Bills for Basketball Team
Already Three Times as Great as
During Football Season.
Basketball has cost more doctor’s
bills already this year than football
did last fall, and the basketball season
is not yet over. Last season’s football
games cost but $10 through the whole
season for physician’s services. This
seems low, but it is low because Bill
Hayward attends to all but the more
serious accidents and bruises of the
sports activities. Basketball, how
ever, has cost $30 for the same class
of services, and the fdur heaviest
games are yet to be played.
College basketball is no parlor
game. Twenty dollars have been paid
to dentists for repairs to lost teeth.
Tommy Boylen, for instance, had two
front teeth knocked off in the game
with Washington. Five dollars each
have been spent upon Bradshaw and
Fenton for doctor’s services. The
minor bruises have been many.
WOMAIUOURNALIST
TALKS TO STUDENTS
SAYS NEWSPAPER MAN MUST
BE EDUCATED
Mrs. Wetherred, “Mother of Journal
ism,” Makes First Appearance
Before News Class.
“I have sometimes been called the
mother of journalism, although 1 may
not look that old to you,” said Mrs.
E. T. Weatherred of Portland, in her
address before the students of Jour
nalism yesterday. Mrs. Weatherred
began the agitation for the chair of
Journalism in the Universities sev
eral years ago and her ideas met with
much opposition at that time. Her
first public speech in favor of college
educated newspaper men, was made
before the National Editorial Associa
tion which was held at New Orleans
several years ago. She said in this
talk that a newspaper mail must be
an educated man, a man amply cab
able of moulding the opinions of
others and uplifting the community in
which he resides.
In giving advice to the students,
Mrs. Wetherred said, “Be careful
what you write. Commendation is
better than condemnation. Many sui
cides are caused by a few words of
censure printed in the newspaper,
whereas a few words of encourage
ment would have helped greatly.
Give out the best you have of your
disposition.”

tated the teaching of Journalism in

FRATERNITIES THREATEN BOTCOTT OF
r. W. G. T COUNTY Mil STUNTS
i

Representatives from every fratern
ity and club in the University, except
the Dorm, Zeta Phi and Kappa Sigma,
meeting at the Sigma Chi house to
day at 12:30, passed a resolution to
the effect that they would not put on
any stunt or show at the coming Y.
W. C. A. County Fair, March 15.
This action was the result of a feel
ing that has been growing among
some of the fraternities that they
should not be called upon each year
to furnish such entertainment at the
Fair. Speaking this afternoon, one of
the representatives who was at the
meeting, declared that when the Fair
proposition was first put up to them
several years ago, it was with the
understanding that it should be for
only one year. They claim that they
can see no. visible results of their ef
forts, and that they are tired of being
asked to contribute each year.
Although the three clubs and fra
ternities were not represented, it was
declared late this afternoon, that the
position of these organizations is
known to be unfavorable to the
“stunts” and that with their refusal
t put one on, it “will put the kibosh
on the whole thing this year.”
The reason assigned by the dele
gates is not opposition to the Y. W. C.
A. Bungalow, but simply that the fra
ternities have been overworked by the
present system of raising money, and
that the members refuse longer “to
be made the goats.”
OF OREGON-O. A. G. GAMES
OREGON’S UNE-OP CHANGED;
FENTON RACK AT CENTER
Four Games Will Settle Collegiate
Championship of State—Dope
Favors O. A. C.
A State championship, a crowd of
one hundred and fifty O. A. C. root
ers, and a clash between two well
trained and well coacned fives, will be
features of the two basketball games
tomorrow and Thursday evenings be
tween the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege and the University of Oregon
quintet, in the Men’s Gym.
Not only do the games themselves
promise to be the best seen on the
local floor this season, but the crowd
will like ly surpass anything this sea
son. Extra bleacher seats will be
erected, and a second row will be add
ed to the gallary.
As to the games themselves, every
thing is guess work. This much is
known, however, that Fenton will pos
itively be in the first line-up, a fact
that gladdens the fans, and that Bur
dick, the star 112 pound Aggie for
ward, will in all probability be out of
the first scrimmage with a bad ankle.
Although “Doc” Stewart’s aggrega
tion stands 200 points above Captain
Simms’ collection of basket shooters,
the dopesters are not so sure that the
O. A. C. five can repeat over the
lemon yellow, and chiefly on account
of the recovery of Fenton. Their
two recent victories over Coach Boh
ler’s W. S. C. team was explained by
the fact that the Washington Aggies
had the title nailed to a mast, and
that they didn’t care if they won or
not.
Anyway, Hayward has been putting
his team through a strenuous work
out since the last game, and this
afternoon, after a light practice, de
clares that the men are in good shape
for a hard tussle, except Fenton, who
is still nursing a lame back.

DEMOCRATIC SPIRIT
TO PREVAIL AT BALL
Inauguration of President Wilson to
be Celebrated Tonight by
Senior Ball.
The Inauguration of President
Woodrow Wilson will be fittingly cele
brated by the Seniors of the Univer
sity tonight with the Lottery Ball, at
Folly Hall. All the members of the
class have entered heartily into the
spirit of the affair and the dance
promises to be one of the most dem
ocratic and enjoyable of the year, and
the event is calculated to go down in
history with the other important and
notable occurences of this date.
Everyone will be there. Even those
who do not dance have signified their
intention of attending, if for no other
reason than to see how the combina
tion of Madame Chance will look.
The Grand March will commence
promptly at 8:15, with President Ed
ward Bailey and Miss Hazel McKown
leading. Next in command will be last j
year’s Junior President, Dean Walker,
and Miss Minnie Holman.
The patronesses will be: Mrs. John
Wagner, of Ashland, Miss Bonisteel, j
Mrs. Cuyler, Mrs. Gray, Mrs. Ban
croft, Mrs. Currier, Mrs. Jessup,
and Mrs. Powell. President Campbell
has also consented to act as patron
for the evening. * ,
STUDENT DANCE WILL GIVE
WAYTO CORVALLIS EXCURSION
Number Who Agree to go Passes 125
Mark, but 50 More
Wanted.
“On to Corvallis,” is the slogan of
the rooter’s excursion, Friday after
noon, to witness the basketball games
between the University of Oregon and
the Oregon Agricultural College. A
special car has been chartered for the
126 tickets already been pledged,
with a rate of $1.65 for the
round trip. Yell Leader Abe Black
man and Assistant Yell Leader
“Dutch” Young have been soliciting
the names of all who intend to go.
Those who have not been interviewed
by these men, but who are going to
join this excursion, will greatly facil
itate matters, if they will hand in
their names at once.
The Student Body dance, scheduled
for Saturday night, will be postponed,
provided 125 tickets are bought, and
the round trip rates are good until
Monday morning. The special train
will leave Eugene at 4 o’clock Friday
afternoon, and those who wish to stay
for only one game, may return on
the regular train, which leaves Cor
vallis at 10:10 Friday night, or they
may return at any time Saturday or
Sunday.
There will be plenty of seats, as the
O. A. C. manager has reserved 125,
which will be held until Thursday
noon. Hence all the rooters, who join
this excursion, must have their names
in by Wednesday night. Corvallis is
planning a similar excursion to Eu
gene, “so lets show lots of pip and
help our team to win all the games,”
is the spirit on the campus.
Fifty rooters are still needed to
make the number a real Oregon root
ers’ delegation. Boost this propo
sition by signifying your inten
tion of swelling this band of rooters.

VIOLIN 10 FEATURE
OF CHORAL PROGRAM
Florence Cleveland and Florence
Avery Will Appear in Solo
Roles.
Another feature has been added to
the program for the Women’s Glee
i Club concert, March 14, which Direc
tor Melvin Ogden promises will be
replete with surprises and innovations.
This latest addition consists of a vio
lin trio, composed of Lucile Abrams,
Meta Goldsmith, and Mary DeBar.
Bess Bach, the regular dub accom
panist, will act in the same capacity
for the violinists.
One coincidence of the performance
will be the fact that two of the solo
ists for the evening, Florence Cleve
land and Florence Avery, president of
the club, have both been soloists of
note in different University affairs.
Miss Cleveland had the leading- role
in “Princess Chrysanthemum,” the
operetta given two years ago by the
same organization. In that perform
ance, Miss Cleveland made a decided
hit.
The other soloist, Miss Avery, has
the distinction of having been the
only woman soloist that has ever ap
peared upon a men’s Glee Club pro
gram. This was at Hood River, her
home, on the occasion of the club’s
visit to that place on their last trip.
NINE POUND DNU6HTER IS BOON
TO PROFESSOR AND MRS. F. G. AVER
Faculty Children Now Number 43,
With the Latest Addition Born
Yesterday.
With the birth of a 9-pound daugh
ter to Professor and Mrs .F. C. Ayer,
yesterday morning, at 8 o’clock, at the
Mercy Hospital, the number of fac
ulty children, compiled by the Emer
ald statistician for the third time this
year, has reached 43. As yet the lat
est addition to Faculty row has not
been named.
California has issued their annual
invitation to the Pacific Coast con
ference track meet. Every college
with any record of note in track will
be invited in order to einsure a fast
meet. Idaho because of distance and
O. A. C. because of repeated failure
to accept the invitation, will likely be
extremely doubtful of securing an in
vitation.
THESIS MAY GIVE TO
BEEFSTEAK NEW ROLL
MARTZLOFF SEEKS DIGESTIVE
VALUE OF TISSUE EXTRACT
Investigation is Along New Lines—
Effect of Juices on Assimilative
Process Sought.
A thesis, that may result in a de
finite contribution to the. medical
science and science of dietics, entitled
the “Digestive Value of Tissue Ex
tracts,” is being prepared by Karl H.
Martzloff, under the direction of Pro
fessor John Bovard, of the pre-medic
department.
Should the expected be found to be
true, after a number of experiments
now being carried on are finished,
beef seak, rare and juicy, may be the
accepted substitute by doctors and
scientists for pepsin, pancreatin and
other caripeptic preparations now in
vogue. If the extract, pressed from
animal tissues, demonstrates its theu
raputic value, a new phase may be put
on the whole question of the relative
merits of vegatarianism and the meat
diet. Porterhouse may take its place
among the list of remedial tonics, as
well as hold its present position as a
food.
The manner in which this investiga
tion is being conducted is by determ
ining the extent to which the tissue
juices aids the salivary digestion, as
carried on in the mouth. The same
test is made upon its effect, beneficial
or otherwise, upon the other two di
gestive processes, as carried on in the
stomach, or gastric digestion, and in
the intestines, or intestinal diges
tion.

BASEBALL TEAM
MAY GET COACH
i
ATHLETIC COUNCIL WILL DE
CIDE QUESTION DEF
INITELY NEXT
WEEK
PROFESSOR AYER A CANDIDATE
Meanwhile Interclass Baseball Games
Will Open the Season
March 10.
In response to a demand for a base
ball coach, the Athletic Council will
take definite actions upon the ques
tion at its meeting next Monday even
ing. Among the probable candidates
are two Oregon men, one the dean of
of the department of education, Pro
fessor F. C. Ayer; the other Captain
of last year’s team, Homar Jamison.
At the last meeting of the Athletic
Council, there was a sentiment, head
ed by Judge L. T. Harris, in favor of
procuring a professional baseball
coach for this season. The only ob
jection is a lack of funds in the Stu
dent Body treasury. Captain Chand
ler waxed enthusiastic when asked
concerning it, and said, that with a
capable coach, there is no reason why
Oregon should not again land the
Northwest title.
. Among the prospectives for the posi
tion are several alumni and men
vitally interested in the University.
Homer Jamison, last year’s captain,
and one who has since served in the
professional,ranks, is considered the
strongest possibility. Another person
who is a dark horse for the position is
Professor Ayer of the department of
education. Professor Ayer played pro
fessional ball in the middle west with
Coach Bender of Washington State
College, and it is said on good author
ity that the two as a battery were
unbeatable. The council has several
other capable men under considera
tion, whose names are withheld.
Practice is proceeding splendidly
under good weather conditions and
Captain Chandler hopes to begin cut
ting the squad in about ten days.
There were twnety-seven men out
ysterday and from these there will be
picked two teams which will hold four
inning games every day. As yet no
captain has been appointed to guide
the destinies of the second team.
“Bill” Hayward announces that be
ginning March 10, the inter-hlass
baseball games will be played off as
follows: Freshmen vs. Sophomores,
Juniors vs. Seniors, Freshmen vs.
Juniors, Sophomores vs. Seniors,
Freshmen vs. Seniors, Juniors vs.
Sophomores.
The games will go for five innings,
and the championship will be award
ed on a percentage basis.
