OREGON BREAKS EVEN
WITH O.A.G. IN SERIES
AGGIES TAKE LAST GAME OF
SEASON SATURDAY
WITH SCORE
OF 13-8
STATE TITLE
IS TIE
Four Basketball Games With O. A. C.
Leave Equal Claim for State
Championship.
The Northwest College Conference
basketball season was brought to a
close Saturday night when the 0. A.
C. team defeated the varsity quintet
in the Corvallis gymnasium by a 13 to
8 score. Saturday’s contest was the
last of a series of four games, and as
each team has won two, the state
championship still remains undecided,
with no possibility of a fifth game
being played.
Both teams showed the effects Sa
turday night, of the strenuous fight
ing of the previous games, neither
team scoring during the first 11 min
utes of play. 0. A. C. made the first
point on a foul thrown by Cooper.
The score at the end of the first half
was 9 to 4 in favor of the Aggies.
The whole 0. A. C. team played a
consistent game, while Oregon showed
periodic flashes of team work, but
seemed unable to connect with the
basket. Fenton scored all the points
made by the varsity, getting one field
goal and throwing sixs baskets out of
ten attempts from the foul line. Cap
tain Sims held Dewey, the speedy
forward, to no baskets.
Cooper, 0. A. C.’s star guard,
scored 7 of the 13 points made by his
team.
The work of Referee Bohler which
was criticised by the O. A. C. “root
ers” Friday night, seemed entirely
satisfactory to the large crowd of
over 600 students who were present
Saturday.

A66IES SEEK TO SHOW OREGON MEN
THEIR HEARTS ARE IN RI6HT PLACE
Students Returning From Corvallis
Warm in Praises Over Treatment
From Students of Rival College.
Although the spirit of rivalry was
keen as to the outcome of the two
basketball games at Corvallis, the
Oregon’rooters who attended the con
tests have expressed sentiments of
appreciation since their return, for
the generous treatment received at
the hands of the Corvallis students.
During both games, especially the
last and while the Oregon students
were free to see the city, there was
nothing left undone to make the visit
agreeable. Any tendency on the part
of the excited Aggies to become dis
courteous during the games, was
promptly squelched by Yell Leader
Dutton and his assistants. Feeds,
dances and other forms of entertain
ments were furnished by the fratern
ities and women of Waldo Hall.

Only Feature.
The first of the series of inter-class
baseball games was played off on the
Varsity field yesterday afternoon be
tween the Sophomores and the Fresh
men. The Sophomores took the
Freshmen into camp in a five inning
fracas, during which the winners
romped over the home-plate for a to
tal of three tallies, while the utmost
efforts of the mallard-tipped warriors
resulted in only two.
Dorris was the Sophomore slabster,
with Miller officiating behind the
wind-pad. Thatcher wielded the big
mitt for the Frosh with Cornell in the
twirling box. Lesser lights of a var
ied brightness were stationed at other
points of interest about the field.
Among these Welch and B. Bigbee
were the brightest stars, Welch with
his outfield-infield shift to first catch
ing Billings off the bag by a good fif
teen feet, and Bigbee with a three
bagger in the fifth inning driving in
the winning run for the Sophomores.
Bigbee, Welch and Miller scored for
the Sophomores; Cornell and L. Big

NEW YORK—Levi P. Morton, ex

Owing to his advanced years, much

This was the decision reached at a
meeting of the Board Monday after
noon at the residence of Mrs. John
Straub, on East Eleventh street. That
this action was feasible at this time,
it was believed, notwithstanding the
recent efforts of the men in killing
the County Fair, as a perusal of the
finances of the Association showed
that there was practically enough to
complete the structure, cash and re

Competition between the Hill and

business rivalry, but enters into the
realms of education, according to
Mrs. Mable Holmes Parsons, the Ex
tension Department lecturer in English,
who recently returned from Portland
afer organizing another class in the
study of English and rhetoric among
the employees of the North Bank sta

Two Women in Class.
In this class, composed of office and
clerical employees, 18 enrolled at the

two women, a week ago Friday. Be
sides these, there are six others in the
employ of the Seattle, Portland and
Spokane railroad, who have promised
to enter the class. Among this num
ber are several men of liberal educa
tions, while others have never enjoyed
a higher education. One of the stu

FACULTY ALLOWS LAB
CREDIT INJOURIMLISH
Also Appoints Committee to Alter
Schedule of Classes on
Wednesday.
The University Faculty held its
regular meeting last Friday. The
committee, of which Dr. Boynton is
chairman, has charge of the changes
being made in entrance requirements,
was instructed to attend to the alter
ing of the schedule of classes. This
change has become necessary because
of the crowding of Wednesdays and
tihie eleven 10’clock hour under the
present system.
The Faculty voted to allow the
journalism laboratory credit in addi
tion to sixteen hours, providing the
student made a satisfactory average
in the sixteen hour limit. This is of
interest to a considerable number of
the students, because they had been
denied the credit on account of the
sixteen hour maximum.
ENGLISH PROFESSOR SURPRISES

Thurber Contributes Volumes of Tol
stoi to University Library
Unintentionally.
Edward Allen Thurber, professor in
English at the University, became an
unwilling contributor to the Univer*
sity of Oregon Library yesterday.
Two volumes of Tolstoi were among
the donation. And now, like the In
dian, he seeks his gifts back.
It occurred in this manner: The
professor, in returning a number of
books which he had drawn from the
library, inadvertantly included several
of his own volurpes. Today he re
ceived the following notice from the
library:
“We acknowledge with thanks the
following contributions to the Univer
sity Library.’’—
And w\h that he read the names
of his own volumes.
