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.”

0. A. 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.
FRESHMEN DEBATE TRYOUT
SCHEDULED FOR MARCH 7
Team of Six Men to Be Chosen
to Represent the Class
Against Sophomores
The tryout for the Freshman de
bate team will be held Saturday
morning, March 7, at 9 o’clock in
Prof. F. S. Dunn's room, In Daady
Hall.
A team of six men is to be chosen
to oppose the Sophomores on the
question of submitting international
disputes to arbitration. There will
be an innovation this year In that
double teams will represent the
classes Instead of one team as for
merly. I„ast year’s Freshman team
composed of Lamar Tooze, Prentiss
: Brown and Allan O’Connell, remains
jintact this year. This team won the
I underclass debate last year,
j A cup on which the names of the
.debaters are annually engraved is
jth« prize for the winning team.
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

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.
