Start at the bottom. The country editor—the journalist in the open—has a great opportunity tc mould the character of the com munity. Don’t admit how little you know; don’t undervalue yourself. Concen trate your thoughts. Much of the disturbance in life today is due to unbalanced leadership.” That the newspaper calling is one of the leading professions of the day and there is more and more a call for the trailed journalist, were two points brought out by Mrs. Weather red. “Behind the brains, remem ber, you need character in the busi ness of the journalist.” Mrs. Weatherred' was born in Ore gon, her parents having emigrated here by ox team in the early days. Sixteen years ago she suddenly—al most accidentally—sprang into the journalism field, when, through her brother, a journalist, she was sent as the first delegate of the Portland Press Club to the convention of the International Press club Association in New York City. Because she was the only delegate from west of the Mississippi and because she was a woman, her visit drew attention. Since this time Mrs. Weatherred has been writing constantly, mostly industrial articles, and is now the field representative of the Oregon Manufacturers’ Association, in which capacity she is touring the state, meeting the women’s clubs, and boosting “made-in-Oregon” products. “Results are being accomplished,” Mrs. Weatherred states, “and the people of Oregon are gradually ac quiring that local loyalty that the people of California possess.” FACULTY CONTINUES STERN Fresh Reinstatement Petitions Fail to Bring Reconsideration. At the faculty meeting held at four o’clock yesterday afternoon, the fac ulty decided to remain firm on the stand taken at the meeting held on Tuesday, February 10, regarding pe titions for reinstatement. Several students petitioned a second time but rolled by. After a short discussion a | motion was passed that no previous action taken on the cases of those who failed to make the required nine hours during the first semester, be reconsidered. 71 TheFlorsheim SHOE For the Man Who Cares—New Spring Models at $5.00 and $6.00 The Boot Shop 712 Willamette St., Eugene, Oregon I ! WASHINGTON TAKES FIFTH GAME OF BASKET-BALL SERIES VARSITY WEAK ON BASKETS Tuesday’s Game Faster Than Previous Contests. Score is 14 to 15. Washington Gains Lead by Fouls. By the bare margin of one point U ashington won the second basket ball game of the three-game series being played here this week. The failure of Oregon to score more than shalf of the fouls allotted gave Washington the necessary lead. The game Tuesday night was a better game from all standpoints than the one played Monday jiight. Oregon opened up in her defense, "ith the result that the game was faster and more interesting. The game the night before was slow be cause the players guarded each other so closely that at times the ball would be rolling on the floor practically free. Oregon had difficulty in finding the basket and a number of times, when free shots were made, nervous ness kept the players from scoring. Considerably more shooting was done Tuesday night than on Monday night, due to the more open style of playing. Oregon demonstrated that she could get away from the visitors any number of times, but her inability to find the basket at ! critical moments prevented scores. While no individual starring was done, Rice and Sims showed up well for Oregon, and Davidson for Washington. The first half ended with the score of 7 to 5 in Washington’s fa vor. The two teams started the game, both playing fast and heady. Oregon seemed to have the better of the passing at times, but was un able to score. Some fumbling at critical moments spoiled chances for baskets. Sims threw* the only bas ket made during the half on a run ning throw, which brought the house to its feet. The other three points were made by Fenton from the foul * line, the center making three out of five attempts. Washington did not show up as well Tuesday as on - the previous night, being unable .to handle the mere open playing of Oregon. In this half Davidson got two baskets for Washington, Schroeder one, while Savage threw the one foul called on Oregon in this period. The second half opened up in whirlwind style, and a few minutes after the play started, Rice had thrown in two difficult baskets and Wolcott one. Oregon’s onslaught, however, was a little too rough, with the result that fouls were called to such an extent that Washington managed to keep ahead a point or two on the almost perfect foul throwing of Savage. He made seven out of nine attempts this half. Slowly the score crept along, each score made being the climax of sev eral minutes of hard playing and scrambling for the ball until one man would get loose, take the ball down the field and score. Brad shaw also captured a basket during this period from a hard position on the sideline. Oregon was in the lead for a few brief minutes, but Washington closed up and, making only one bas ket during the half, forged a single point ahead of Oregon. The score stood 14 to 15 for the last three minutes of play, both teams doing their utmost to make another bas ket. Tuesday night’s game was broken up considerably more than the game the night before, both Oregon and Washington having to take out time for injuries to men. Nobody was taken out, however, and Wash ington used the only sub put in. The next game will be played here Friday night. The .Jine-up: Oregon. Washington. Rice (4).f. Fancher Wolcott (2).f.

"Agora has done a far greater and ! better work in fighting the referen dum than anyone knows, and they will continue to do much more good for the university,” said Mrs. P. L. Campbell, in quoting President Campbell, Wednesday afternoon, at the close of the first meeting of the Agora Club for this year, held at her home. "There is no such thing as a closed’ Agora Club in any sense of the word. It is a civic committee of the Women’s League open to any member of the league who cares to come,” said Mrs. Mable H. Parsons, after opening the meeting and ex plaining several phases of work in which the members could be of com munity service. After a discussion of the work pre sented, Mrs. Parsons appointed a committee to consider the case of a small boy recommended by Mrs. Campbell, who is in great need of medical treatment, and to recom mend that steps be taken to help him, if a report from Portland sur geons justified it. Reports on the civic conditions were then given. “The municipal milk supply has worked out successfully in many of the larger cities,” said Miss Helen Van Dyne, in speaking on the purity of the milk supply. “There must be efficient inspection, cleanliness and careful handling of the milk. The problem of infant mortality is a sig nificant one, some doctors claiming that 50 per cent of the deaths are preventable and many traceable to the use of impure milk.” “Avoid hysterics, finO_the point of difficulty, co-operate with other peo ple, work together for clean milk supply and pure water in a fight for sanitation, get men interested to con serve human life, and you are on the road to the successful development of a wholesome form of civilization,” said Professor Sweetser when talk ing on milk inspection and local con ditions. The next meeting of the Agora Club will be held March 18 with Mrs. Cuyler £t the Kappa Kappa Gamma House. STEAM PIPES TO GYM TO BE FIXED TOMORROW Nearly 180 Feet of Bad Pipe Is Being Replaced. Gym Like Refrigerating Plant The steam pipe from the power plant to the men’s gymnasium, which has been the cause of cold shower baths for a week, will be re paired tomorrow, said H. M. Fisher, Superintendent of Grounds, yester day. Some of this pipe has only been in two years, and the other only four, yet it has completely rusted through. Electrosis is thought to be the cause of the rapid decay -of the pipe. There is approximately 180 feet of pipe to be replaced, including the six inch steam pipe and the three-inch return. The excavation is some eight or ten feet deep and caves in very bad ly, making it dangerous to work in the bottom of the trench and necessi tating much bracing, which makes the work more difficult. He' has five men putting in the pipe as fast as it is possible to do so, and expects to have heat in the gym nasium tomorrow. Regular gym classes will begin im mediately after the pipe is ready for use. Mrs. Ella Stewert, ex-president of the Illinois Equal Suffrage Eeague, will instruct the women of the Uni versity of Chicago in the details of voting.
