ARCHITECTURE
TO BE GRECIAN
IMPROVEMENTS FOR FOUR
BUILDINGS PLANNED BY
ARCHITECT KNIGHTON
REGENTS PASS ON PLANS
Dormitory to Receive Extensive
Alterations. The Engineering
Building to Have New Wing.
Pre-Medics in Deady Hall.
(By George T. Colton.)
“The new $100,000 administration
building will contain special offices
for all of the deans, in addition to
the offices of the regular adminis
trative departments,” said President
P. L. Campbell today. “A block plan
of the entire university grounds is
being prepared by Ellis F. Lawrence,
one of the architects, and will be
submitted for approval to the Board
of Regents at a special meeting this
spring. Not only will the location
of the new building be then deter
mined, but also the general plan of
all future ronstruction.”
W. C. Knighton, state architect,
was in Eugene last Tuesday. He
said, “The new building will be of
Grecian architecture, probably of the
Ionic type. This style will also be
used in designing all future build
ings. The new building will be two
stories in height, with a basement
below. The present plans provide
for one floor of classrooms, in addi
tion to the offices. The basement
will be used for storage purposes,
but can be converted- into recitation
rooms if needed.”
“All of the $75,000 improvements
will be finished by the opening of
college next fall,” says President
Campbell.
The four-tier steel stack room
connected with the library will be
in use and will relieve the present
congestion. When the bookcases
now in the library are removed,
study tables will take their places.
M. H. Douglass, the librarian, has
designed most of the plans for the
stack room. It will be patterned
after the latest eastern buildings,
and will cost about $30,000. The
top floor may be used for study pur
poses until it is needed for filing
books.
Deady Hall will be completely re
modeled at a cost of $10,000. It will
be used almost entirely by the Biolo
gy and Physiology Departments, fol
lowing the reorganization contem
plated for next year.
The dormitory will be improved
by adding a sleeping porch, and a
new kitchen and storehouse. The
dining-room will be completely re
modeled. Hardwood floors will
probably be put in the reception
room. The heating and lighting will
be overhauled. The entire cost will
be approximately $10,000.
A new wing, 40x-00 feet and the
same height as the present structure,
will be added to the civil engineer
ing building. It will extend east
along University avenue toward the
gym. The estimated cost is $15,000.
About $10,000 will be expended in
improving the present heating sys
tem. This will include an extension
main to the new administration
building, and also minor changes in
the piping and heating of the pres
ent buildings. A pump will be in
stalled in 'the power house to draw
back the water after it has exhausted
its heat energy.
With the completion of these plans
work will start immediately after
the close of this semester.
“ARE MEN DIVINE?”—HOWE
Feminists Answer in the Affirma
tive.
"Are men divine,” questioned
Professor Howe Thursday afternoon
of his class in English living w-riters.
The class looked foolish, especial
ly the men.
Prof. Howe looked nonplussed;
but he picked up courage—and
called on a girl in the second row-.
"Well—a-Yes! I really do
think men are divine.”
“So do I,” echoed another.
"And I,” echoed still another,
blushing.
Professor How-e merely blushed
and asked another question.
iCHESSCLUB URGED BY
MEMBERS OF FACULTY
Dr. Dallenbach and Prof. Howe
Say Pastime Should Be
come Recognized Sport.
Chess, the international pastime,
will come into its own at the uni
versity, if the efforts of the faculty
and students who are interested in
the game, are successful. A move
ment is now on foot to organize a
club and have regular tournaments.
Members of the faculty are espe
cially interested in the plan. “I do
not feel like starting it myself, be
lieving that the students should take
the initiative in maters of his kind,”
said Prof. Herbert C. Howe today.
“We ought to be able to play it
like they do in the east, and to make
it, if possible, an intercollegiate
game.”
Dr. Dallenbach, who is an adept
at the game, voiced the same senti
ment. “I think it would be a very
good thing. We ought to be able to
form a club and have regular games.
I have heard nothing of such a club
lately, but I will do my part, should
a movement be started.”
Dr. Dallenbach is an unusual play
er. He has a mind so constituted,
says Professor Conklin, that he has
all the time a visual picture of the
board and the possible plays and a
remembrance of the past plays of his
opponents. He can play the game
better blindfolded, since his mental
picture of the game is so vivid.
PROSPECTS BRIGHT FOR
GIRLS’ TENNIS HONORS
Oregon Co-Eds May Meet
University of California
Team.
With the' advent ol early spring,
nearly all the likely candidates for
the girls’ tennis .team have reported,
and are ready to commence regular
spring practice.
Bess Cowden, captain of this year’s
team, was more than optimistic when
talking yesterday afternoon of Ore
gon's chances of winning the girls’
inter-collegiate championship. She
says Winifred Bent, a Sophomore
who entered college the second se
mester from the University of Cali
fornia, will materially add to the
strength of this year’s team. Miss
Bent has played for one and one
half years at California, and would
have made the Varsity team this
year had she remained at Berkeley.
Last summer she won the Portland
women’s tournament and comes to
Oregon with an exceptionally good
record.
“We may be able to play the Uni
versity of California yet,” said Miss
Cowden in speaking of the Califor
nia-Oregon girls’ game. “I am
awaiting an answer from Frances
Jackiing, manager of the girls’ tennis
team at Berkeley. The University
of California, offered to pay half of
our expenses to Berkeley, but the
Athletic Council refused their offer.
1 am now trying to get California to
consent to pay all our expenses. If
we do go to Berkeley we can play
them as many games as we wish, the
games to be divided into singles and
doubles as we choose. They may
not meet our purpose, but I thought
it wrorth trying for.”
The first game this season will be
with O. A. C. and will be some time
:n the early part of May, the exact
date has not been set. Those who
have reported to Miss Cowden for
practice are: Edna Harvey, Aline
Noren, Hazel Rader, Norma Graves,
Winifred Bent, Zella Knox, Edith
King and Charlie Fenton.

EIGHT FOOTBALL!
HEN TO RETURN
COACH SAYS NOTHING AS TO
PROSPECTS. PARSONS
OPTIMISTIC
CHAMPIONSHIP IS AMBITION
“We’ll Beat Washington,” Says
Captain Parsons. Five Old
Men Graduate, but Three of
These May Come Back.
With the return of eight of this
year's “O” men practically certain
for next year, the outlook for Ore
gon’s football team points toward a
championship. Coach Bezdek, how
ever, maintains his usual non-com
mittal attitude concerning the fu
ture, and refuses to say anything re
garding the prospects for the 1914
15 season.
Oregon is going to lose five val
uable men in Hall, Bradshaw, Fen
ton, Grout and 'Caufield—every one
a dependable man. Fenton, perhaps,
showed up more than the others, as
he has been the Varsity’s punter
since he made the team in his Fresh
man year. His shoes will be the
hardest to fill. It is barely possible
that three of these men may return
for post-graduate work—Bradshaw,
Grout and Caufield. Grout was out
or tne game this year on account of
injuries and a late start.
Among the more promising of the
second team string this year, some
of whom will make the team next
year, are Audry, Browm, Garrett,
Tuerck, Hendricks, Cossman and
Normandin. These men have had
the benefit of a year’s training under
the new coach, and the showing that
was made by Oregon’s Freshman and
second teams against 0. A. C., a heav
ier and more experienced team, was
one that would gladden the heart of
any coach. In the two games
played, one resulted in a tie and the
other Oregon won.
With such a return of old play
ers, a good bunch of squad men to
draw from, and. the incoming of sev
eral good “preppers,” Oregon should
have a team next year that will wipe
the conference. An addition to this
outlay also will be Dick Nelson of
Lafayette, who was registered last
fall, and was out for football, but
who was compelled to leave college
i few days after entering on account
of sickness. Nelson stands over six
feet, and trains down to about 195
pounds. He is in college this semes
ter and is out for baseball.
“I have a new system of playing
which I will use this year,” said
Coach Bezdek. ‘‘It would have been
used this year, but the style of play
ing used by the other teams made it
impracticable. It’s a dandy, and I
believe that it will make good. I
have no idea how the team will look
next year. The men will be shifted
about as they were last season, and
will be put where I think they will
do the best work.”
‘‘We are going to beat Washing
ton next year," is the first statement
of Captain-elect Johnny Parsons.
‘With the return of many of the
old men and the new material that Is
coming in, I believe that Oregon is
going to shine in football next sea
son.”
For the men that are not partici
pating in other branches of athletics,
spring training will be given in order
that they, may be in the best of con
dition for the opening of the season
next fall. Practice will start earlier
next year, as Coach Bezdek realizes
that his team this year was behind
the other conference teams by sever
al weeks in practices, and he does
not intend that it shall occur dur
ing this coming season.
‘‘It takes a coach more than one
; year to get started,” said Parsons,
j “The second or third year he will
get results, but the first he does not
usually get the best. Dobie is an in
stance of this. The first year he
! came out here, his team was held to
a tie by Pullman, 6 to 6, and the
northern team did not show up near
ly so well as it has in later years. It
takes time for a new coach to build
■ over his men and to acquaint them
to his methods and style, and this
j cannot be done in one season by any
. 1 means.”

BASEBALL HAS
GOOD OUTLOOK
MANY VETERANS RETURN.
RAW MATERIAL LOOKS
PROMISING
BATTING TO BE DEVELOPED
Squad Uniforms Were Given
Out Wednesday. Work Will
Begin Immediately. Six
Pitchers Will Turn Out.
Baseball prospects at the Unive
slty are better this year than they
have been for several seasons, and
those in position to know predict a
team that will put up some interest
ing exhibitions of the national
game.
Coach Bezdek is pleased at the
large turnout, but as this is his first
year here he is unable as yet to form
any opinion of the personell of the
team. A few evenings have been
spent on the diamond, the first prac
tice game being held Wednesday
uight.
The f'eld is still muddy and the
game was for the purpose of giving
the coach a line on the old men in
their positions. Six pitchers, includ- ;
ing Welch, Bryant, Fleming, Bigbee, !
Tuerck and Ferney are turning out,!
or will do so as soon as basketball !
season is over and from this list the 1
coach expects to pick his mounders. |
With the exception of Chandler
and Mount, left and center fielders,
all the men of last year’s team are
back, and with the incoming new
material, a fast aggregation should
be gathered together. Among the
more prominent Freshmen are Car
son Bigbee, crack third-sacker; Nel
son, first base; Ferney, pitcher, and
Williams, outfield. As no real work
Y. W. C. A. BUDGET WAS
$700 DURING PAST YEAR
Funtls Being Railed for Plano.
The Support of Churohei
Solicited.
The expense budget of the Y. W.
C. A. of the university for the past
year was $700. This amount shows
a great advance over the budget of
previous years, for at no time before
has it exceeded $400. This money
is raised through the dues of $1,
paid yearly by each member of the
local association, and also by pri
vate pledges of various people
throughout the state interested in
this work. The Advisory Board of
the University Y. W. C. A. has also
pledged money.
An effort is being made to raise
enough money to buy a piano for the
Bungalow. According to prosent in
dications it will be installed within
a few months.
Mrs. E. I.. Fletcher, general secre
tary of the local Y. W. C. A., speak
ing of the future plans of the asso
ciation, said: “We hope to put the
Y. W. C. A. on a definite budget
basis for the coming year. Further
more, we are trying to secure the co
operation of the various churches
about the state to aid in the support
of our social service work.”

Student Body last year is Secretary
of the University of Oregon Law
School, with offices in the Tilford
Building, Portland, Oregon.
has as yet been done, it is impossible
for the coach to get a line on the
new men, and it is probable that a
number of dark horses will appear
before the season is far advanced.
Captain Fenton is still occupied
with basketball, as is also Lyle Big
bee, and they will be out as soon as
the present series with O. A. C. is
ended. The squad suits were given
out Wednesday, and it is hoped by
the coach that the outside work can
begin immediately.

Manager Walker May Stage
Concert at Heilig Theater in
Portland Night of March 16.
Contract to Be Made.
An entertainment at Portland on
the 16th of March is the latest plan
of Graduate-Manager Walker for the
Men’s Glee Club. The Heilig thea
ter has no contract for that night,
and immediately upon discovering
the fact, Walker began preliminary
arrangements to secure it for the
club.
According to Manager Walker the
Heilig management demands $300
for the use of the theater for one
night stands, if the contract is made
more than two weeks prior to the
time set for the club's appearance.
A. J. Priest, head of the Coast Ly
ceum Bureau, will have charge of
the Glee Club’s Willamette Valley
and Eastern Oregon trip for the sea
son of 1914-16. Manager Walker
sent in his signed contract to Mr.
Priest last Tuesday. Mr. Priest
i guarantees to take the club on the
valley and eastern trip and return it
to Eugene, paying all the expenses.
Rumors that a trip through the
east was being contemplated' were
| yesterday denied by Walker. He
! said, however, that the Santa Fe
| railroad had been written to, but
( that so many requests had come from
California clubs that the Oregon
Club would not be considered for
this year at least.
