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. C. the
sixth and last game before returning

KtD ISSUE OF EMERALD
TO BE EDITED IN APRIL
Campus Geniuses to Substitute
Regular Staff for Spicy
Publication
The Red Emerald, it is reported,
will come to life again probably in
April. 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 committee of the Junior mask
has decided to offer five prizes, one
for the best dressed man, one for the
best dressed woman, <one for the
best dressed couple, and one each for
the best sustained characters, men
and women. 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

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.
