DELUGED BASEMENTS
MAKE MANY ADVENTURES
Continuation of Rain May Cause
a General Inunda
The basement of nearly every
house in the vicinity of the campus
was discovered to be in a flooded
condition last night and this morn
ing.
When Vivian Walker ran down in
to the basement last night to get
some apples, he found himself a ver
itable “September Morn in the dark’’
or "Venus in the Bath”—he was
standing in water up to his knees.
Walker had visions of a second de
luge.
The Phi Delta Theta house was so
flooded that the boys feared them
selves in great danger of a second
“Jamestown” and at once proceeded
to repair the drain. It was three or
four hours before miniature Mt.
Ararats began to indicate that the
basement floor had not been carried
away.
Whenthe Freshmen in the Sigma
Chi house went down to build the
furnace fire this morning they found
their kindling wood playing tag
around the woodpile.
Climbing into a couple of tubs
which the subterranean breezes waft
ed toward the shores of the cellar
steps, the young sailors In their im
provised cellar rat hounds (In con
trast to ocean grey hounds) finally
succeeded in cornering and capturing
the playful sticks.
The Phi Gamma Delta, Chi Omega
and Mu Phi Epsilon houses also re
port discomfiting experiences with
flooded basements.

HIGH SCHOOL PLAYERS
DOWNED IN PRACTICE:
Past “Prep” Basket Shooters
Secure Many
Points
The Varsity basketball squad play
ed a hard fought practice game in
the gym last night with the Eugene
High School team and while the big
ger men had the better of the game,
the high school men played a fast
game and secured a good many bas
kets to their credit.
Fenton and Wheeler kept up their
record for shooting and Walcott
found the hole for several. “Ole”
Sims worked the floor in exceptional
manner and his work seemed to
please the coach very much.
The team worked together for most
of the game in good shape and should
put up a fast and heady game Friday
night.
The high school has a fast quintet
and several of the men are excep
tional basket shooters. The score
for the second half was 32 to 4 but
the high schol got most of their bas
kets in the first half.
In the second half Stevenson was
substituted for Fenton, Rice and Big
bee for Walcott and Bradshaw, H.
Sims for Ole Sims.

0. A. C. BASKET SHOOTERS
40 MEET U. OF W. FRIDAY
First Conference Games Will
Give Line on Coming
Contests
The O. A. C. basketball squad is
putting in its last hard licks this
week in preparation for the first
conference game of the season, which
will be played in Seattle against
Washington next Friday. The squad
leaves Corvallis Thursday morning.
The Aggies will go up against a
fast bunch at Washington this year,
and the fact that four of their most
promising men are new in the col
legiate game makes their chances un
settled. These men are Chrisman,
Mix, Carlson and Billie. If these men
make the team the games at Seattle
will be the first inter-collegiate
games.
The schedules as arranged gives.
O. A. C. six games with Washington,
three to be played in Seattle and
three in Corvallis, and five with Ore
gon, the odd game to be played on
the University’s floor. The extra
game will prevent a possibility of the
two teams tying for the champion
ship of the Northwest, as the confer
ence winner may be decided by the
fifth game.
The schedule follows: January
23, 24 and 26, Washington at Se
attle; February 14, 19 and 21, Wash
ington at Corvallis; February24, Ore
gon at Eugene; February 25, Oregon
at Corvallis; February 27, Oregon at
Eugene; February 28, Oregon at Cor
vallis; March 7, Oregon at Eugene.
The last series of games may be re
arranged so that the teams 'will not
have to do much traveling, that is
by scheduling them in two series,
but O. A. C. has not replied to Man
ager Walker's suggestions as yet.

OREGON RANKS
NEAR THE TOP
DR. BABCOCK SAYS SCHOOL
OF MEDICINE EQUALS
ANY IN COUNTRY
FAITH IN OREGON IS ASKED
Miss Guppy in Talk Before Col
lege Women Advises Dancing
Censors, Point System and
Self-Government.
In the last two years Oregon has
advanced from class “B” to the class
“A star,” according to Dr. Babcock,
>t Illinois, who was quoted by Miss
Ruth Guppy in her speech to college
women at the Y. W. C. A. Bungalow
Tuesday evening. The school of Law
is not up to standard, but the school
jf Medicine is on a par with any in
he United States, is the opinion of
Dr. Babcock.
“The function of Dean of women
at Oregon,” says Miss Guppy,“is rath
_;r more inclusive than at the eastern
Jniversities. Here the Dean is a
egular member of the faculty, while
in the east, this is not so.”
In speaking of sorority matters,
Miss Guppy stated that only one
other college in the country had
•ledge day as is the practice here.
Gymnasium Good.
Although our cry for some time has
been for more equipment,” said Miss
duppy, ‘‘there is one point in which
we can hold our own with any of
America’s institutions of higher
learning. This is in the matter of
facilities for physical development.
The women’s gymnasium is one of
the best that I have seen.
‘‘But there are several things that
e do need here,” she continued,
‘and among the most important of
these, I rank faith in Oregon, faith
hat she is growing and will continue
o grow into something finer and
greater. Think success and live suc
cess.”
The Oregon Dean made a special
appeal to the Senior women to join
the alumnae, as through this organi
sation she claimed a great deal could
ie done for the advancement of the
University.
Need Woman’s Building.
“The main thing that we need in
a material sense,” said Miss Guppy,
‘is the Woman’s Building, a place
vhere the women can be at home on
he campus. It is a wonderful thing,
ft. is your right and your privilege.”
In mentioning matters of feminine
Iress, the speaker advised more sim
ilicitv, stating that college women
ver the entire country are deciding
n favor of this manifestation of good
taste. As to campus wear she advis
'd no decollette, no vivid colors, no
ilks, or sleeveless creations.
‘‘There will be a revolution in our
lancing,” she stated, “as there was
tnong our grandmothers from the
square dances to the waltz and the
fwo-step. We want to hold to the
best for it is those colleges that
stand by the best, who are the best.”
in connection, with this, Miss Gup
iy advised the appointment of floor
managers as has recently been done
at the University of Chicago, to pass
on the dancing practiced at the TTni
ersity parties, and to be the court
>f last resort as to what shall be
ianced and what shall not.
“Now as to self-government,” con
tinued the Dean. “Almost all the
Middle Western colleges have it and
1 hope that the women’s league will
take up the matter here and help to
further it. 1 think that the Univer
sity of Oregon is ready for it.”
The point system, that is the
granting of points for honors in stu
dent affairs, with the provision that
no woman be allowed to hold more
than enough honors to .make up °ben‘
mints, was commended by the
speaker. ”It is a splendid thing.”
she said.
“But do not confine yourselves ab
'utely to the things going on inside
•’■e University,” she concluded. “Be
thoroughly alive to what is happen
ing in the world outside. This is the
means to progress.”
