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.
