SENIOR THESES FILED IN UIIIVEISITF LIBRARY Collection Started for Fair in Seattle Is Kept Complete to Date Come 7 0) theses written by for mer graduates of the University of Oregon, are being put into pam phlet form Toy the assistants in the University Library, so that they may be placed in the “Oregon Col lection of Literature.” This “Oregon Collection,” which was first gathered together for ex hibition in the exposition at Seattle in 1909, includes the various uni versity periodicals, the regular an nuals issued by the Junior Classes, an) many books and manuscripts by professors and students of the uni versity.. The theses of the Senior Classes as far back as 1900 have been obtained, and are now to be added to the collection. “If any professor, student or graduate of the university, has, at any time, a manuscript which they would like to submit, we should be only too glad to add it to this col lection,” said M. H. Douglass, uni versity librarian. “We submitted these theses to the heads of their various departments fo^ criticism, and, as a result, chose 42 0 papers from among the entire number,” continued Mr. Douglass. “These were intended to have been bound in a single book, but the cost was too great, so that had to be abandoned, and now they are being arranged and catalogue) in the same way as the other pamphlets.” “I do not know just how soon the filing will be complete. We are about three years behind in our cata loguing, and the work is being pushed as fast as is possible, with the number of assistants we have.” ENGINEERS MEET JOINTLY Civils and Electrics Will Hear C.

WINS ROUGH GAME CORVALLIS BEATS OREGON IN BASKET-BALL IB-7 “LUCK” SAYS COACH BEZDH Thirty-Three Folds Called. Throws Are Wild. Koch Gets Broken Rib. Sims and Sie bert Mix and Are Taken Out. (By Everett Sauinders) Oregon could not find the basket, in Tuesday night's contest, and therefore went down to a 15-7 defeat to O. A. C., in a game unique for rough playing, personal fouls, and wild, ineffective tries for bas kets. The inaecuracy In shooting was, perhaps, the principal cause of the failure of Bezdek’s men to score a victory. Fenton's inability to util ize the free throws for overcoming the Aggies’ lead is only one exam ple of the general incapacity. “It was luck,’’ said Coach Besdek. "Our men outplayed them in the sec ond half—the ball was down in our territory all the time. But it wouldn’t go through the basket.” The game was rough at all stages, 33 fouls being called by Ref eree Bee, 18 against Oregon and 15 against O. A. C. Of their free tries at the basket, Dewey, May and Siebert turned seven of the 15 Into points. Itoch for Oregon threw two out of four, before being retired in the first half with a broken rib. Fenton made good one out of 10. Holding Slower Game. During the first session the game was made slow by the holding, for which fouls were repeatedly called on both teams. The 0. A. C. men, perhaps, had an edge in the passing. Siebert, the forward, who entered this semester, and whose eligibility to play was contested during the re cent series with Washington, and Dewey at guard, showed the best form for the visitors. Siebert was responsible for three of the four bas kets from the field credited to his team. Two of these were acquired during the first half from sensation al attempts. These, coupled with four points from fouls, gave O. A. C. eight points; the Varsity had only two baskets from fouls. Terrific Pare Set. It was during the last 10 minutes of play that Oregon showed to best advantage. The men set a terrific pace, and sent the ball on repeated journeys toward the basket, which continually refused to receive it. lyle llighee kept May more than busy. Sims and Siebert, mingling at this stage, evidenced1 an intention >f converting the game into a boxing bout; and both were removed. With Sims out, Jtice was shifted to guard, end Wheeler went in as forward. Jordan took Dewey’s place, when the star guard was changed to Siebert’s position at forward. A special train brought the 30 piece Cadet band and 75 enthusiastic rooters with the team from Corval lis. Seats had' been reserved for them on the west side of the gym nasium. From which place, during the game and in the interval preced ing it, there came the familiar "Zip Boom Dee!” to echo our ‘‘Oskey Wow S Wow!” The line-up of the teams were: Oregon—Rice and Wolcott, for wards; Fenton, center; Koch and Bradshaw, guards; L. Bigbee sub stituted for Koch, Sims for Brad shaw- and Wheeler for Sims. O. A. C.—Dewey and May, guards; Mix, center; King and Siebert for wards. Dewey substituted for Sie bert and Jordan for Dewey. For Oregon, Bradshaw and Wol . cott each threw one basket from the ; field. For O. A. C-, Siebert threw i three and King one. EXCURSION PLANNED FOR SATURDAY CONTEST One Way Bate Will Be Secured il 12 5 Rooters Make Trip. Graduate-Manager Dean Walker is planning an excursion, leaving Eu g-ene Saturday at 5 p. m„ to Corval lis for the game with O. A. C. that evening. The train will return im mediately after the game, and if 125 rooters make the trip, a one-way fare of $1.35 will be secured. According to present plans a block of seats will be reserved for the band and Glee Club, in addition to the rooters’ section. The band will make the trip if enough students de cide to go to make up the required number for a reduced rate. “I am strongly In favor of the ex cursion idea,” said Walker this aft ernoon. “O, A. C. sent a large crowd of rooters to the game Tues day night here, and there will prob ably be another excursion from there tomorrow night.” The game here tomorrow night will begin at 7: 15 sharp, giving time for the c'owd to attend the Dramat ic Club play, “Strife,” which is to be presented that evening at the Eugene theater Wti DEFFAT OREGON BY ONE POINT MM Game Lost in Last 2 0 Seconds Fouls Called During Contest Ia the game last night, Oregon came back from the 15-7 ilefeat of Tuesday and fought O. A. C. with even honors until a foul on Wheeler In the last 2 0 seconds of play gave Dewey the opportunity to tos3 a bas ket, breaking the 13-all' tie and giv ing the Aggies a victory by the slen der margin of one point. The game was hard fought from beginning to end, the first half end ing with the teams tied G to 5. Ore gon had the better both in passing and defense, but the inability to con vert chances Into baskets, which has been the principal falling all through the season prevented a vic tory. Fenton and Koch starred for the Varsity, Of the nine fouls which were ;a]led on O. A. C., Koch threw four out of seven; Fenton made good one out of two. Fenton, Wheeler, Koch and Wolcott each threw one field basket. For O. A. C. Slebert and Dewey made each one basket, from the field. Thirteen fouls were called on Oregon, resulting In 10 mints for their opponents. The ltne-up was the same as In Monday’s game, with the exception of Koch, who played guard. The next of the series with O. A. C. will be played In Eugene. Ar rangements are being made to re serve a part of the rooters’ section for the Glee Club, which will be seated next to the band. The seat sale begins Friday morn ing at 10.

LOCAL FRAT IS ORGANIZED IOTA CHI WITH 19 MEMBERS, LEASES OLD ACACIA HOUSE DORMITORY MEN SECEDE Move Has Been Planned for Several Months, New Club Includes Da! King, Lyons, Williams, Lombard, Cfoodwin lota Chi, a new local fraternity, has been organized on the Oregon ; campus, and on Friday the nineteen j members will secede from the Dorm i Itory, the present home of the ma jority, and take up their abode In the , old Acacia house on the corner of 1 Ninth and Hllyarl. It had been intended by the found ers of the organization to keep the j exodus secret until Saturday, but garbled versions Interpreting the ac tion taken, induced the seniors of < lota Chi to make public the entire affair. The secret first leaked out when an Emerald reporter ascer j tained from M. C. Hull, the owner of i the house, that a sixteen months’ ■lease had been signed by Dal King. Move Planned Last Year. I A similar move was planned on the part of several Dormitory men last year, bnt nothing came of it. The present organization has been con templated for the past five or six months according to statements giv en out by Dal King this morning. He also stated that the move was not due to any disagreement or friction of any hind In the Dormitory. "We have been planning on this since last fall,” he said, “hut until now we had managed to keep It quiet. The re port that we were discontented at the Dorm, is absolutely false. We merely wished to organize as a fra ternity, and this is the only explana tion of our action." The house selected by the mem bers of lota Chi has been given a thorough overhauling this week, and will be ready for occupancy on this coniine; Saturday. Names Are Announced. The personnel of the new fratern ity, as announced by Dal King, Is as follows: Seniors—Parks L*. Morden, Stew art H. Lyons, Alfred H. Davies, all of Portland; Raymond 0. Williams, I a Grande; Dal M. King, Myrtle Point. Juniors—Bert bombard and Marsh Goodwin, of Eugene; Lawrence Din neen and Willard Houston, of Port land. Sophomores—S. Dean Peterson, Portland; Victor Mooro, Astoria; Grant Schaffner, Eugene. Freshmen—Archie Rosa aud Ern est Watkins, Bandon; Burt Thomp son and Eugene Elton, The Dalles; Paul J. Norcross, Central Point; John Elsher, Jr., Baker. Special—Charles Shelton, Union. NEW HALL AT PRINCETON £100,1X10 Promised ir $400,000 More Cuu Ilo liaised. Princeton’s present efforts are di rected toward raising a special fund j of $4 00,000 before commencement time. This money, together with i $100,000 which Mrs, Sage has prom j is®d to give if the whole amount is j at hand in June, will be used to ' erect a new dining hall for Fresh men and Sophomores. The univer sity apparently stands in need of this addition to its equipment, as the present eating accommodations are i neither adequate nor attractive. ! Plans for the building, which will meet the wants of about 1,300 men, j have already been drawn.
