OREGON lNs k O'! (/>l jGlTtf EMERALD VOL. XV. EUGENE, ORE., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21°, 1914. NO LII. 0. OF W. TEAM DOWNED 24-9 final game of basket ball SERIES WON BY OREGON SHOOTING OF VARSITY POOR Contest Marked by Wide Passes and Fumbles. Fenton Se cures 18 Points While Sav age Made All for Washington (By Fred B. Dunbar) In a slow and uninteresting game, replete with fouls, bad passes, fum bles and wide shots at the basket, Oregon swamped the University of Washington in basketball last night by a score of 24 to 9. Oregon had all the better of the passing and dribbling but the basket shooting was poor. Washington’s men were unable to find their stride and from the start of the game they were practically at the mercy of the Varsity. Wild passes and fumbles were the order of the day. Practically all the play ing was done in Oregon territory, and only the inability of Oregon to find the basket kept the score down to 24 points. Oregon showed up con siderably the better but at times the passing was oflf and many wild throws and fumbles were made. The baskets made by Oregon were the more difficult tried while the easy ones were missed. Fenton High Point Winner. Fur Oregon, Fenton was Llio high est point winner, making 18 of the 24. The other three baskets were made by Sims, Bradshaw and Wal cott. For Washington Savage at for ward made all the points, throwing one basket and making the rest from the foul line. In this he excelled, missing one throw out of eight at tempts. Rice at forward and Sims at guard played the most spectacu lar games, while Walcott against Savage kept his man to one 'basket and tossed one in himself. Fenton made some difficult shots and kept the rooters in anxious excitement whenever he secured the ball. L. Bigbee and Koch were substituted for Rice and Walcott in the last three mintues of play but too late to get going properly. Washington’s playing was desultory, Savage being the only player showing up to any extent. Oregon Outplays Opponents. The first half ended with the score 8 to 2 in Oregon’s favor and it was evident that Oregon was outplaying the visitors. In the second half Washington slowed up even more and Oregon began to find the bas ket to the extent indicated by the score. During this period Bradshaw played a much better game than usual, taking the ball down the field time after time, recovering and re ceiving in good style but unable to locate the little hoop. At times the play would liven up and real basketball was played but only to slow up again. Time was taken out during the second half while the referee jogged down the street half a block to recover the ball which was knocked through both doors which stood open, down the steps and into the street. After be ing run down, brought back and wip off, the game proceeded. Washington lost to O. A. C. Thursday night by a score of 20 to 13‘ Tonight they play O. A.

This special edition of the Emerald is like ature in many respects, - the summer and winter .adding out in spring. green, yellow and pink will ue too loud for it, because if it cannot be read it wishes to be heard. The contents will consist of rich, rare and racy material with a variety of style and quality. The publishers will not be connected with the Em erald Staff, but will be literary art ists who have no previous chance to show their genius. In other words they will be dark horses in the fields of Hearstism. The wandering bards and barkeeps of the campus, will likely contribute, but with what ma terial, no one knows, not even them selves. Likely it will be about the heart. In 1911 a red issue of the Emerald was published with great success by Mason Roberts, ’13, and his band of cohorts. Last year Sigma Delta Chi, a journalistic fraternity, published a similar edition. The gentle knocks of spring have started to arouse the sleeping writ ers and by April all will be fully awake and ready to pour out the feelings of their souls in print. AMENDMENT WILL BE SUBMITTED WEDNESDAY Senior Committee Will Draw up Articles at a Meeting Tomorrow The representative committee of Seniors, appointed to draw up amendments to the student-body constitution, will have its final meet ing tomorrow morning and pass fi nally upon articles of amendment ar ranged by the special committee of five chosen sometime ago. The meeting will he held tomorrow morn ing at 9:30 o’clock at the Kappa Kappa Gamma House, and President Motschenbacher is anxious that all the members of the committee at tend, because the amendments agreed upon at this time will go be fore the student-body for approval or disapproval at regular assembly hour next Wednesday morning. Oth(er matters of importance will also be taken up at this time. In its general nature the amend ment draughted by the special com mittee will establish a student coun cil with 12 or 13 members, which will take over some of the powers now delegated to the executive com mittee of the student-body; and will assume such others as the faculty is willing to release at this time or share in common with the council. The basis of representation upon this committee has not yet been definite ly decided, but will be part of the proposition to be submitted to the student-body Wednesday morning. The special committee met last Thursday night and settled upon the proposition to be considered tomor row by the whole committee. The committee was appointed nearly three months ago to consider and frame some more satisfactory plan of handling student-body problems; and the student council system in some form is generally favored by the members of the committee. The University of Washington has pre ceded Oregon in the adoption of the student council plan. When a member of the Oregon fac ulty reecives requests from far-off Hungary for information as to his methods of fly extermination, it looks as if the State University were pretty well on the map. America will be represented by a soccer eleven in the 1916 Olympic games at Berlin. WE CAN” SAYS ELBERT BEDE PROMINENT EDITOR GIVES TALK BEFORE CLASSES IN JOURNALISM. GREAT INVENTORS ARE CITED President of Oregon Editorial Association and Editor of Cottage Grove Sentinel Is Firm Believer in Will. ‘'We Can.” On this theme Elbert Cede, editor of the Cottage Grove Sentinel and president of the Oregon Editorial Association, spoke yester day to the combined journalism classes. “I spoke on this subject first to the employes of a cannery, but today I treat it with another meaning as applied to journalists,” said Mr. Bede. “A famous newspaperman once said that he could draw electricity from the clouds—his name was Ben jamin Franklin (do you remember him, Mr. Dyment?)—and people told him that lie could not do it. His answer was, ‘I can!’ and he did. “Robert Fulton said he could run boats with steam; people laughed, but he said, ‘I can!’ and he did. And today the great ocean steamships, with their great turbine engines, car ry enough people to populate Cottage Grove. Lauds Confidence. Mr. Bede developed his point by further exemplification of the worl-ch wire results of men who have said,, "I can!” and have succeeded. He cited the cases of Alexander Graham Bell, who persevered and invented the telephone; of Samuel F. B. Morse, who said, “By dashty-dash dash, I can invent a telegraph,” and who did it in the face of incredulity; of the two bicycle repairers—the Wright brothers—who said, “I can!” and flew; of Mergenthaler, whose in vention has made possible the setting of type by machine; and of Edison, who said, “I can!” and made a pho tograph that “talks better than I can.” “All the progress of the ages has been accomplished by men who re fused to acknowledge that there are such words as ‘I can’t.’ The world is looking for young men and women who say, ‘I can.’ ” A Journalist from Hoyhood. Mr. Bede came to Oregon three years ago from Minnesota, where he ran a newspaper in a small town. He first set type at the age of 8 years in his father’s office, had charge of the paper at the age of 16 and lease' and ran a paper at the age of 18. Mr. Bede, at the age of 32, now owns and runs the Cottage Grove Sentinel, considered by many news papermen over the state as one of the best weeklies in Oregon. At the meeting of the Oregon Editorial As sociation in Portland, last October Mr. Bede was elected unanimously to the office of president of that asso ciation. This is the first time that anyone not an old-time Oregonian has been chosen for this position. JUNIORS OFFER PRIZES Five Awards Will Be Given at Mask Ball.

The judges who will award the prizes will be chosen Mon day when the Junior class meets. The committee wishes it impressed on everyone that the mask is not for the Junior class alone, but for every student in the university, and it hopes that everyone will be able to turn out. CAST OF PLAY IS ANNOUNCED DRAMATIC CLUB WILL PRO DUCE “A WOMAN’S WAY” ON MARCH 14 J iNETYOUNC GIVEN STAR ROLE Contrary to Custom, Play Will Be Put on at the Eugene Theatre. Thirteen Will Take Part in Play. (By Edison Marshall) The cast for “A Woman’s Way,” to be produced by the Dramatic Club March 14, has been chosen, giving Janet Young the star role. She is Marion Stanton, the woman who has her way. “The Woman’s Way” is a prob lem play, and is a strong, vital drama of the day. It is the story of a w-oman, whose husband believed In the double standard of morals. A newspaper reporter, played by Harold Quigley, scents a good story in Howard Stanton’s escapades, but because of the woman, who wants and has her way, the story never reaches the public. It is needless to say Stanton is reformed. The drama shows the clever, eternal-feminine manner by which Mrs. Stanton re forms her husband and preserves his reputation. Ash Leading Man. Ralph Ash will play Howard Stan ton, Catharine Carson is Mrs. Blake more and Willard Shaver, who played the leading part in the club’s commencement play last year is Mr. Morris. Harold Quigley’s success as a green Freshman in the club's commence ment play of last year resulted in his drawing Mr. Lynch, the report er. Cleve Simkins will play Oliver Whitney, a strong part, and Graham McConnell will play Wilson. Maur ice Hill is General Livingston. Bert Jergrd as Bob Livingston, Norma Dobie as Sally Livingston and Ellice Shearer as Mrs. Livingston are the rest of the family. Lucille Cogswell will play Mrs. Stanton and Emma Wootten Mrs. Belle Morris. Miss Wootten is the only Freshman woman that drew a part in the play, but her success as an actress during the Astoria Cen tennial Exposition was the reason for this choice. May Show at Rex. The play will probably be given at the Rex theater. This is an innova tion for plays given by university students. The cast is as follows: Marion Stanton.Janet Young Howard Stanton.Ralph Ash Mrs. Tilakemore. . .Catharine Carson Mr. Morris.Willard Shaver Oliver Whitney.Cleve Simkins Wilson.Graham McConnel Gen. Living ton.Maurice Hill ’’ob Livir. Trton.Bert Jerard Mrs. Livingston.Ellice Shearer Mr. Lynch.Harold Quigley Sally Livingston.Norma Dobie Mrs. Stanton.Lucile Cogswell Mrs. Belle Morris. . . Emma Wootten Y. M. VACANCIES FILLED Erie I jane ,’14, and V. Motschen ba< her Elected to Office. At a recent meeting of the Y. M. C. A. cabinet Erie Lane. ’14, was elected to the cabinet position of chairman of the mission department. The vacancy was caused because Merle Moore has given up his work in the university this semester. John Black, president of the Y. M. C. A., who has also given up his work for this semester, has rone home, and his place will be filled by Vice-President Vernon Motschen bacher until the regular election on March 18. RETURN TENNIS TOURNEY WITH 0. A. C. TO BE IN MAY Five Varsity Women Trying Out for Team. Game Proposed With Berkeley The return women’s tennis tourna ment with O. A. C. will probably be played the first week in May. The first matched of the series were played last spring on the Oregon campus, at which time the match was won by the Oregon team— Prances Addams, ex-’14, and Bess Cowden, ’14. The second series was held at. Corvallis this fall and won by them. Those trying out for the team this year are Winifred Bent, '16; Aileen Noreen, ’14; Bess Cowden, ’14; Edna Harvey, ’15; Zella Knox, ’17. A game is also proposed with Berkeley, but owing to the student body refusing to back the proposi tion, the whole expense would have to be guaranteed by Berkeley, with no assurance of a return game on the Oregon campus. A Pirn racquet has also been do nated1 by the Eugene gun store for the best women player on the cam pus. Tryouts for this trophy and others that will be offered by the Women's Tennis Club will be held sometime in the latter part of May. Only the women who belong to the Tennis Club will be eligible to try out for these trophies. FACULTY TIGHTENS UP ON MID-WEEK AFFAIRS Latest Rules Forbid Students to Have Friends as Dinner Guests The printed rules and regula tions o'f the Student Affairs Commit tee, that were distributed around to the various houses at the beginning of the second semester, and were thought to be the same as the pre vious rules, have just been discov ered to be slightly different in re gard to two of the restrictions: namely, “There shall be no social affairs, either formal or Informal, from Monday morning until Friday at 3 p. m., inclusive, except under special permission of the committee’1 and “Not more than two formal so cial affairs shall be held by one or ganization during any one se .es ter.’’ The other rules remain the same —the definition of formal and in formal affairs, the mode of present ng petitions, the restrictions and the scheduled events. The first change in the rules is construed by the majority of the committee to mean that no faculty member be especially invited to a house for dinner during the mid week, though, if he should “drop in’’ it would be no offense to entertain him. Also to have a single friend for dinner without any special prep aration or without any intent to make much of an affair out of it will not be a breach of this regu lation, though entertaining several friends with a special preparation will be considered a violation of this restriction. JOURNALISM DEPARTMENT GETS FAVORABLE NOTICE Printer-Journalist Devotes Half Column to the Oregon School. The Department of Journalism has received a half-column notice in the January number of the Printer Journalist. which commends highly Professor E. W. Allen and the work being carried on by. the department. The article ranks the Oregon depart ment among the four largest schools of journalism in the Uui^ed States. While attending the convention of the teachers of Journalism at Madi son, Wis., this fall, Professor Allen was interviewed several times about the work of the Oregon school.
