o VOL. XV. EUGENE, OREGON, SATURDAY, MARCH 7, 1914 No. LVIII. SOCCER GAME ENDS IN TIE VARSITY HOLDS COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY TO A 2-2 SCORE. DYMENT PLEASED WITH TEAM “Bill” Tuerck Kicks Oregon’s Two Goals, While J. Murphy Does Scoring for Columbia Team. The first soccer game in which Oregon has participated, and which was played today with Columbia Uni versity, resulted in a tie, the score beintj; 2 to 2. The result was a sur prise to all concerned, the players, coach and spectators. Columbia University expected to walk away with the honors, but the Varsity’s first team came through with a little surprise, and by good team work and nimbleness in han dling the ball, they managed to tie the score with the champions. Tuerck and Murphy Star. Both scores for Oregon were kicked by Tuerck and J. Murphy se cured both for Columbia. Oregon se cured her first two scores in the first half and Columbia hers in the sec ond. Oregon kicked her first goal in the first 10 minutes of play. The teams started the game in a wary manner, both seeming to be waiting for the other to open up. Oregon’s team work was very good during the game and flashes of real soccer were shown. Two fouls were called on Oregon and four on Columbia. This allows a free kick for the goal, but no score is allowed if it is made. Fouls consist largely of tripping or “hands,” which means handling the ball with the hands or using the arms from the shoulders down. Columbia Surprised. Tuerck, Boylen, Ford, Pearson and Campbell played the best game. Cap tain Spellman, as goal-keeper, played a good, steady game, and showed the result of experience. Columbia had more than they ex pected according to their coach, Prof. Bach, who also refereed the game. Captain Spellman was highly pleased with the showing of the men. Prof. C. V. Dyment stated, “The men played much better than I expected. There are a number of men there who will make good soccer players.” FROSH PICK DEBATERS -1 Negative and Affirmative Teams Chosen to Meet Sophs.

PRESS INFLUENCE IS SHOWN Advises Young Journalists to Start Newspaper Career by Working on the Small Coun try Paper. “'The newspaper of the United States is the most progressive news paper in the world. We are farther ahead in the gathering and dissemi nating of news than any other coun try. We also have more newspapers per capita than anywhere else,” said R. J. Hendricks, manager and editor of the Salem Statesman, Oregon Teachers’ Monthly, Pacific Home stead and the Northwest Poultry Journal, in addressing the University Journalism classes yesterday after noon. “News ought also to be clean, ex clude all libeling and personal abuse. The greatest criminal in America is the publisher of the yellow, red haired newspaper, who goes by the maxim, ‘Truth is mighty and will I prevail, but news won’t keep.’ 1 { would rather lose a column of good news than mispell a name or get wrong initials. “The diplomats of America 20 years ago came out of the newspaper offices; today it is also true. The newspaper has become in Oregon, and will become in the United States, the government; for we have by di rect primary and repeal, government by the newspapers. The newspaper has become the mouthpiece of the voters of America in almost the same measure that the famous orators of Greece swayed that nation.” Country Papers Surest. Mr. Hendricks further stated that the newspaper business was a good business if followed correctly; that it was not a small business, there be ing, last year over 2 4,000 newspa pers in the United States. There are about 1600 papers started yearly and1 about as many failures. “The newspaper business is easy if you love it, and work hard at it. and the compensations are many,” he said. “Success may be defined in the newspaper game as being a great editor of a great paper, or in conducting a small paper successfully. You may make a success on a small paper, and [ believe that for the majority of young men and women the best and surest field is the country news paper.” Hendricks an Oregon Man. “The most important part of the newspaper is the advertising. I be lieve in advertising. I believe in making advertisments clean; it pays to do it. The standards of advertis ing in that respect have been raised very considerably lately, partly by the action of the Advertising Press Clubs of America.” “Thirty years ago this month,” said Mr. Hendricks, “I went from my last rec'tation at the University un der President Johnson in Heady Hall to the office of the Salem Statesman. I was not yet 21 years old, but I had been an editor for three years, becoming a newspaper man by pref erence, not by birth.” DR. HODGE GETS PAINTING Views of Crater Lake Obtained From Oregon Artist. Dr. C. F. Hodge has reees tly come into possession of two water-color paintings, showing views of Crater Lake, by Mrs. Grace Fountain. Mrs. Fountain is a well-known Oregon ar tist, who is especially noted for her pictures of Crater Lake, and also for her picture! of forett fire* GREEKS WANT PAN-HELLENIC MENS FRATERNITIES MAY FORM SOME KIND OF ORGANIZATION. . . OREGON FIRST STUDENT IDEAL Expression of Opinions From Seniors of Different Houses Shows That Some Change in Pledging Is Necessary. That some action should be taken soon to stop existing abuses in pledg ing men for Oregon fraternities and that such action should come from the fraternities themselves and not from any “outside” sources la the consensus of opinion among the na tional chapter houses here. Every house expressed itself as opposed to the methods now pursued and think some measures should be taken to stop pledging before students have finished their High School courses. However, some of the fraternities are for the new scheme of a Pan-Hel lenic for men; others do not want to be classed as agitators for it, but are willing to accept some sort of regulation, if the other houses do; and others take the broader view that the new student should first of all be made an Oregon man q,nd after that a fraternity man. Opin ion is divided whether pledging should be permitted during the sum mer months and in other towns than Eugene. Expect Council Action. Some of the heads of the houses are awaiting the action of the new Student Council in this matter, and it seems to be the expectation that some steps will be taken by the new form of government. When seen today the following men spoke for their fraternities: Earl Hughes, Phi Delta Theta— “We will abide by the decision of the majority in the matter of a Pan Hellenic for men.” Don Rice, Beta Theta Pi—“As a house the Betas are in favor of some Pan-Hellenic to stop existing abuses. Some action will have to be taken.” Maurice Terpenlng, Sigma Chi—“I can speak for the house when I say I am heartily in favor of waiting until men are through their High School courses before pledging. Something ought to be done.” Vernon Motschenbacher, Alpha Tau Omega—“We are in favor of a Pan-Hellenic for men. No pledging should be done before the men fin ish their High School courses and are in Eugene.” Oregon First. Del Stannard, Kappa Sigma— “Let’s make Oregon men first and fraternity men afterwards. I believe the present system is driving men away as fast as it brings them here. Some action will be taken soon, If not by the fraternities themselves, then by the ‘powers that be.’ I cer tainly think the national chapter houses should gat together on this.” Harold Quigley, Delta Tau Delta— “We haven't, as a house, discussed tlie question, but, personally, I don’t believe in a Pan-Hellenic here at Oregon uni ss the rules are made stringent and are enforced, as, for instance, at Cornell.” Wallace Caufield, Phi Gamma Del ta—“Don’t quote us as a house, but we will go as far as the rest in this matter. We believe that some ac tion will have to be taken soon, but it should come from the fraterni ties.” The University of Oregon has a very efficient method of advertis ing. It sends a man with a motion picture machine to ail the High Schools of the state. In this way the High School students are bet ter shown the advantages to be ob tained at the University.—Universi ty of Illinois. ‘Ole” Sims, 11)1 :t Captain, Guard on This Year’s Quintet. SENIOR MEN DISLIKE WEARING CAP AND GOWN Nearly All Men Sign Petition, Says Thomas. Women Fa vor Black Robes ‘‘Practically all Senior men have signed the petition for abolishing the caps and gowns for their class with the exception of five or six," says Carl Thomas, the first signer of the paper, “but as yet no girls have sig nified their intention of doing so.” The men state that they wished to do away with the gowns because they were needless expense, barbaric and undemocratic. “I think that we should keep the few old customs that we have,” says Janet Young, “and not abolish the caps and gowns. Aside from this it will be more expensive for us girls than formerly since other gowns will cost us much more than the reg ulation black ones.” “I am heartily opposed to doing away with the caps and gowns,” says Norma Dobie, “for it will take away what you might call the spirit and glory of graduating. Then it will be very undemocratic since some girls will have better dresses than others and this will be more noticeable than with the black gowns.” MUST FILL SIX HOLES ON OREGON GLEE CLUB Lyman Says Several Concert? to Be Given. Vacancies Are in All Parts Tryouts for the University Glee club will be held next Monday night at 8 o’clock in Professor Lyman’s room in the Dormitory. There art six places to be filled on the club. A tryout was held Wednesday night of this week but because it was not generally known that't was to be held, only a few men were present. The places to be filed on the club are two first tenors, two second ten ors, one first bass and one second bass. The vacancies have been made by members leaving college and oth ers having to take up other work in the University which prevents them from practicing with the club. “There are several concerts to be given yet, one in Portland, March 30, Corvallis April l and one other to be selected yet. This will be given to fill in the schedule for the; trip which will include all the concerts. If the men are able to learn the songs and master the work they will get to make the trip,” said Prof. Ralph Lyman today. oooooooo. ooooqoooooo o'" „ o o JUXIOB8. o o - o O 0 o Special meeting will be held o o Monday afternoon at four o o o’clock in Prof. Dunn’s room, o o Delegates to oratorical con- o o ference will be chosen. o o o o««ee»o*ooooo*ooooo O.A.C. CINCHES ) PLACE OREGON’S HOPES FOR STATE CHAMPIONSHIP ARE SHATTERED DEWEY CAPTURES 17 POINTS Aggie Guard Makes All 0. A. C. Score. Referee Lee Calls 24 Fouls, Mostly on Oregon Team. Dewey defeated the Varsity in last night’s contest 17-10, by shooting 13 baskets after fouls and 2 field goals. As a result, O. A. C. has sec ond place in the Western division of the Conference as well as the state championship. Referee Lee was consistent with his records from the past games for calling fouls. He penalized Oregon 19 times, and Dewey, the Aggies’ star guard, was there to convert 13 of them into points. These alone were enough to spell defeat. Two fouls were called against O. A. C. During the roughness, Bradshaw ac quired the limit of four personals and gave up his place. O. A. ('. Takes Second IMace. With last night’s game the hopes >>f Oregon to break even with the Vggies for the honors of second place vent glimmering into oblivion. Even hough we take the game here this 'veiling,, the Corvallis team has the advantage. The basketball season is practic illy over, and already tentative selec tions for the All-Star Northwest ag gregation have appeared. Athletic Director Boliler, of the Washington State College, has chosen a number if players whom he judges have lone work of a stellar character, rancher, of Washington, is one of his selections for guard; and for cen ter the honor, in hts estimation lies between Savage of Washington and the Idaho center. Northwest Selection Hard. Coach Bez'dek does not expect to make an All-Northwest selection, be muse he has seen only the teams of the Western Division in action. The dayers of the Eastern half of the Conference are known only by re ports. The lineup of the teams in last 'vening's game was: Oregon. O. A. C. Rice, C. Blgbee . . . E.Sieberts Walcott .P. King Penton (4).C. Mix Koch (4), L. Ilighee (2).G... Dewey (17) Bradshaw .G.
