VOL. XV. EUGENE, OREGON, THURSDAY, MARCH \2; 1914. NO. lx; DEBATE TEAMS MEET FRIDAY RESPONSIBILITY FOR NA TIONAL BUDGET IS QUESTION ONE TEAM GOES TO SEATTLE Affirmative Side Taken by Ore gon Here—Second Team Has Negative Against University of Washington. The University of Oregon Debat ing team will meet the Stanford rep resentatives in their fourth annual contest here, tomorrow evening, at eight o’clock, in Villard Hall. The question to be discussed is "Resolved, That the Executive De partment should be made responsi ble for the National Budget.” Fred Hardesty and Victor Morris, both members of the Junior class, will uphold the affirmative for Ore gon. The names of the Stanford representatives have not been re ceived. On the same night in Seattle, a second Oregon team will debate with representatives of the University of Washington, on the same subject. This team, which consists of Bert Lombard and Dal King will have the negative. Words Are Defined. “A definition of the word ‘respon sible,’ as stated in the question, might be of interest,” said R. W. Prescott, debate coach, yesterday. “It is agreed that the term ‘responsi ble,’ withip the meaning of this reso lution, shall be interpreted as laying upon the Executive the duty of in troducing the budget into Congress, the right being reserved to" Congress to amend by reducing items only. “Dal King is the only man on the team who has had previous experi ence,” declared Mr. Prescott, “how ever, we hope to overcome the hand icap of inexperienced speakers. The^ boys have worked hard and all those present on Friday night will hear an excellent debate.” Judges Are Chosen. Judges for the debate are to be chosen by John C. Veatch, of Port land, acting for Oregon, and F. H. Hilton, also of Portland, acting for Stanford. These men are graduates of the college which they are repre senting. Oregon has been a member of the Interstate Triangular Debating League for three years, and last year won the coast championship by de feating both Washington and Stan ford, which had, in turn, defeated their opponents. Also three years ago Oregon was champion but the year before last both debates were lost. An annual debate has been held with Utah for six years, each side carrying away the winning laurels three times.

UPPER-CLASSMEN WILL UNITE IN SMOKER TONIGHT Men From Clubs and Fraterni ties to Discuss Plans for Better Harmony The upperclassmen of the differ ent clubs and fraternities of the Uni versity will meet tonight at 7:30 at the Eugene Commercial club for the purpose of discussing tentative plans for the formation of some sort of a fraternity council at Oregon. The affair tonight will take the form of a smoker according to those in charge. The subject of a fraternity council is one that has been agitated among the various organizations for several months past, and at the present time it is thought that some definite ac tion may result from a meeting of the upperclassmen of these organiza tions. Coach Bezdek will be present at the meeting tonight and will proba bly give his views on the subject. “The purpose of this smoker tonight is merely of a ‘get-to-gether’ na ture,” said Del Stannard today. Al lie Grout, Don Rice, Vernon Motsch enbacher and Willard Shaver all ex pressed the same idea. Motschen bacher said, “I think such a meeting is necessary at this time. With the aid of tobacco smoke and cider, a friendly discussion of the whole ef fect of the present fraternity system at Oregon can be held and any plans for-the future can be also discussed.” STATE ORATORICAL MEET HELD IN ALBANY FRDIAY Oregon Sends James Donald as Representative From the University Eight Universities and Colleges will be represented at the 17th an nual meeting of the Intercollegiate State Oratorical Association to be held Friday, March 13, in Albany.

The men who will make the first trip of the soccer squad away from home are these: Ralston, Campbell, Hendricks, Am spoker, Dinneen, Wilhelm, Boylen, Tuerek, Pearson, Ford, Nelson, Rel fel and Spellman (captain). The team was chosen this morn ing by Captain Spellman and Mr. Dyment. The game will begin at 2:15 o’clock Saturday afternoon on Mult nomah field. The referee will prob ably be James H. Mackie, savings teller of the Security bank, who two years ago was Mr. Dyment’s partner as a fullback on the Multnomah club eleven. Mackie is strict in his rul ings as to personal fouls and the Oregon men are being warned to put away absolutely shoving, holding and tripping tactics, to which some of them are still addicted, and to sub stitute clean body checking. Multnomah field is a nearly per fect soccer pitch. It is regulation length and width, and is arched. The only thing needed to insure a fine exhibition on it during dry weather is two good teams. The Oregon squad will face a harder proposition Saturday than it did last week, and if it succeeds in getting even a tie there will be gen eral satisfaction. PROF.

The lecture will be of a humorous nature as the subject would indicate. Ben Dorris is in Portland securing advertisements for the Oregana. VARSITY WINS FROM GRADS. 10-1ISSOORE. JAMISON GETS BEARS’ ONLY RUN ON FOUR-PLY SWAT WELCH, BRYANT AGAINST T Tuerck and Fleming Hold Town Team Practically Hitless. Game Not Sufficient to Give Line on Players. (By Everett Saunders) In the first practice game of the season played yesterday afternoon between the Varsity and a team com posed of local players, former Ore gon stars, Snd present Varsity mate rial, Coach Bezdek’s men piled up a score of 11-1 against their oppon ents. The game was not what the score indicates except in the third frame when four hits and three er rors drove Welch out of the box, and a hit and three passes off Bryant and three errors by his team mates netted Oregon nine runs. The only run “or the “Bears” was acquired in the first Inning when Jamison, forfner Varsity first base man and now of the Portland Colts, smashed the first ball Tuerck sent him over center field for a home run. The rest of the Bears either fanned the air or hit into the air-tight mitts of their opponents. Both Welch and Bryant worked well for the BearB except in the fatal third frame. Tuerck and Fleming held the town team hitless except for Jamison’s home run. Coach Bezdek changed his playerB frequently, test ing them out in the various positions. However, after the game he said that it had not been sufficient to give him a line on the men. The lineup: Bears. Oregon. Kingsley .C... Motschenbacher Welch, Bryant. ..P..
