OREGON EMERALD PUBLISHED THREE TIMES A WEEK UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, THURSDAY, JANUARY 7, 1915. Volume XVI. No. 38 10 WINS FIRST PRACTICE GAME 9(1 EUGENE HIGH SCHOOL FAILS TO SHOW COLLEGE TOSSERS MUCH RESISTANCE team is light but speedy Team is Light, but Speedy—Coach is Pleased With Showing—Contests With Willamette are Scheduled By Harry Kuck. Yesterday’s basketball session took the form of a practice game with Eu gene High School. The Varsity had little trouble in overwhelming the “preppers.” The score, as nearly as can be estimated, was about 96 to 6. The High School quintet wasn’t able to put up a strong enough resistance to enable much light to be thrown up on the future strength of Bezdek’s tribe, but the coach was somewhat pleased with the showing. The prospects aren’t so bad; the squad is lighter than last year, but much fast er, and fairly accurate.” Sharpe and Carson Bigbee worked well together as forwards against the High School team. Both scored read ily and fast and their shooting was more accurate than at any time here tofore. Dudley started the game at cen ter and got away well. He also made a dozen or so baskets and cov ered the floor well. Brownell took up the burden in the second half, and likewise had little trouble with his opponents. Lyle Bigbee and Roylen played guards. Their passing was excel lent, but both were weak at tossing holes. Lack of wind is what is slowing up the team most of all at present. Twenty minutes is a pretty long route right now. Towards the end of the second half Coach Bezdek took off the regulars and substituted the following team: Roberts, center; Fee and Kuck, for wards; and Morton and Wood, guards. This quintet, although ®ade up mostly of forwards, worked fairly well. Two more preliminary games have ;l>82n scheduled. Both are with Wil lamette University and come January 15 and 16. The coach is desirous of getting wany 0f these practice games as ssible before starting ''his confer ee schedule, and negotiations have ® started with Multnomah Ath ™c Club for a game shortly after Ie latests with Willamette.

SENIOR MUSTACHE CONTEST TO BE HAIR-RAISING AFFAIR / o —— o O To Make Two Hairs Grow Where None Grew Before) Is3 Ambition of 1915 Samsons Have you seen them? Probably not, but they’re here, any-'" way. We have the word of Presi dent Ben Dorris and his brother som breroians for it. The annual Senior moustache race started with the beginning of the Christmas recess. Each near-grad uate was expected to return with the result of two weeks’ neglect of the razor and use of hair tonics on his upper Jip. However, most of the Seniors shrank from exposing their sprouting moustaches to the ridicule of the unsympathetic public in their home towns. With their return to- the campus, however, every Senior is getting down to hard, conscientious work, and is putting all his energy into the pro duction of a creditable strip of foli age. A few members of the class who boldly entered the race at the appointed time already appear with misplaced 'eyebrows Just below their olfactory organs. At the regular meeting of the class yesterday morning Preseident Ben Dorris appointed a moustache vigi lance committee, consisting of Rex Putnam, Francis, Beebe, and Roy Johnson. Its duty will be to comb the Senior ranks for deserters and mete out due punishment. The com mitte says that an honest effort is all that is expected. The moustaches will be worn until the beginning of the new semester. It is rumored that a prize will be hung up for the most luxuriant and comely specimen in the class. QRS LAY PLANS FOR FORMAL DANCE PLAY WILL BE PRESENTED BE FORE MAY, INSTEAD OF JUNIOR WEEK-END Auditing Committee Will Present Re port of Finances of Class at Meeting Tuesday An innovation 4t Oregon in the way of a formal Senior ball to be giv en some time in April is being planned by the 1915 class. A committee head ed by Elton Loucks has been appoint ed by President Ben Dorris and is now at work. A Senior ball has been common to nearly alt other colleges for some time and it is intended that it shall become an annual affair here. This addition will make four class formals during the year, the Sophomore Hop in De cember, the Freshman Glee in Feb ruary, the Junior Prom and the Sen ior Ball. ° Other Senior committees are at work. A meeting of the auditing comntittee, Bert Lombard, chariman, will be held Monday night in Room 32 of the Men’s Dormitory, to prepare a report of the finances of the class. This report, together with the re port of the play committee, will be submitted to the class at a special meeting to be held Tuesday evening. The Senior Play will be given some time before May, because the Junior week-end date has been given over to the Student Body for the presen tation of an operetta. This operetta will probably include the Glee Clubs. Anthony Jaureguy has 320 copies of the 1915 Oregana, which he is disposing of to the alumni at $2.00 a copy. He has sent circular letters to those alumni whose names he could obtain, and while he has not yet received any answers, he says he i3 confident that the books will be sold. Between 500 and 600 of the copies were sold to the students last year.

The girls have practiced faithfully and their work is more finished. They have a good repertoire and it will be hard to exhaust them. The quartette is also excellent this year, and they have some exceedingly good songs and stunts.” The trip through Southern Oregon is finally assured, but the one to Port, land is not yet certain. Wednesday, January 13, thie club will give a con cert in Drain; Thursday it will go to Roseburg; Friday to Cottage Grove; and Saturday to Creswell. “We expect to make more on our trip this year than we did last year,” | says Rita Fraley, student manager of the club. “Our home concert is | bound to be a success, too, as there seems to be a greater interest among the students.

FROSH DISCUSS DANCE Men Urged to See that Every Fresh man Woman Goes to Formal In February “I would rather pay the entire $65 myself than hurt a single member of this class,’’ said Dr. John Straub to- a suggestion made at the Freshman class meeting held in Villard Hall at 10:00 o’clock Wednesday morning, that the names of the 65 members who have not paid their class dues should be published in the Emerald. “A dollar does not mean much to me, and it probably doesn’t to most of you,” continued Dr. Straub, “but to some people it means a whole lot, and I am not willing that these people who cannot afford to pay their dues should have their ent'ire year spoiled.” The principal matter which was con sidered at the meeting was the Fresh man dance, to be given Saturday ev ening, February 13. President Kent Wilson will appoint the committees at once and they will be published, in the Emerald. Dr. Straub asked the men to see that every Freshman woman goes to this dance. “If any Freshman,” he said, “brings a Sophomore or Junior woman to this dance, we’ll do something to him.” Meader Fletcher, Class Treasurer, gave a report of the finances of the DR. MLLENBAGH WRITES Professor of Psychology Contributes a Number of Articles to Sci entific Periodicals In the September number of the Journal of Educational Psychology appeared an article entitled “The Ef fect of Practice Upon Visual Appre hension in School Children,” by Karl M. Dallenbach, of the Psychology De partment of the University. Dr. Dallenbach has been a contrib utor to several psychological period icals in America. The American Jour nal of Psychology for October, 1913, contained an article by him on “The Measurement of Attention,” and. he published “The Relation of Memory to Time Interval,” in the Psychological Review of July, 1913. The next article by Dr. Dallenbach will appear in the American Journal of Psychology in the April number, and four others will probably appear during the coming year. All of the named magazines are authoritative on psychological subjects, and are ta ken by all the la^ge libraries in the country. class, which shows a balance of $177.55 in the bank. A suggestion was made that a large number of Freshmen attend the Freshman-Sophomore debates which will be given Friday, January 22. DOES ANYBODY HERE KNOW GLAUDEAS OF STATEN ISIAND? Clark Burgard Sends Greetings to Address Found in Pocket, but Is It a Man Two weeks ago Clark Burgard, a Senior at the University, was ad dressing Christmas cards at his home in Portland. Out of one of the envelopes that enclosed the Yuletide messages dropped a slip of white paper bearing the words, “Packer, L. Claude s, 32 LaFayette Avenue, Staten Island, N. Y.” Without hesitation, the fourth year representative dispatched' a greeting to the address deseignated on the scrap of paper. Tuesday night, Burgard received a card and a letter from his Staten Is land correspondent, acknowledging re ceipt of the Christmas card. Burgard is undecided whether or no the “L. Claucleas” is a “Miss,” “Mrs.” or “Mr.” MUSHY ILL PHY SOCCER SIMMY British League, Local Organization. . Will Give Squad First Prac tice Game “The British are coming” to play soccer with the University of Oregon team. This will be the first practice game of the season and will be played on Kincaid Field Saturday at 3:15. If the visitors are unable to mobilize by that time, the game will be played on the Saturday following, and the Blacks and Whites will practice ma neuvering in their stead. Either game will be free to the general pub lic. R. Chapman, manager of the league, is a right half, formerly with the St. Johns College team of Featherhead, Surrey, England. Rev. John A. Mo ran was center forward at college. Dr. M. Ashton is an ex-Manchester League player and will probably play forward inside right. W. P. Tyson is a center half, and A. H. Tyson plays outside left. Professor Dyment, formerly of the University of Toronto and Coach of the University of Ore gon team, may line up with the vis itors. W. E. Lidyard, Pedlar Palmer, and Messers. Olivier, Turpin, Jasper and i Wilkinson are some of the other men who will play. The British Leaguers will depend upon their past knowl edge of the game, as they do not in tend to practice before Saturday. No games have yet been scheduled with other colleges. Negotiations are going on for games with O. A. C., Multnomah and Columbia. These games will probably be played in February after the league games are over in Portland. Women s Glee Club To Give Home Concert Tomorrow Night STUDENT BODY DEBT • MATERIALLY REDUCED • GRADUATE MANAGER SAYS AN ATTEMPT WILL BE MADE TO WIPE OUT DEFICIT FOOTBALL NETS $1000 PROFIT Glee Club Surplus Helps—Basketball, * Baseball and Track Expected to Result in Loss “We are going to reduce the Stu dent body debt very materially,” says Graduate Manager Tiffany, “but our plans for doing it are not suffi ciently mature to form an estimate of the reduction which will be made.” At the beginning of the year the Student Body faced a debt of $2,500. This debt carried over from year to year includes a note held by the First National Bank of Eugene, for $1,500, and a $500 deficit on Hugo Bezdek’s salary. Incidentals and miscellane ous bills amount to $500. In order to liquidate this debt, $2,500, over and besides all expenses of this year’s games, etc., must be raised. Mr. Tif fany says it is almost an impossibil ity to raise the entire sum, but an attempt will be made. The football season netted $1,000 clear profit, but the track, basket ball and baseball deficits will proba bly cover this surplus. The inter scholastic meet in the spring costs all the way from $600 to $900, and brings in ' veffry little return. The Glee Club last year cost the Univer sity over $900, but the Registrar states that this year’s tour resulted in a surplus. “As a whole, however,” Mr. Tiffa ny adds, “the outlook this year is much more encouraging than last year, and if we cannot liquidate the entire amount, we will meet a part of it and the remainder can easily be taken care of, probably next year.” CORNELL OPTIMISTIC OVER 'IS PROSPECTS Captain-Elect’s Injured Knee Mend ing. “Next Year My Best,” He Says “I have my best year in football be. fore me,” said Anson Cornell, foot ball captain-elect for next year, this afternoon, when discussing the possi bility of his injured knee keeping him out of the games next fall. “The knee is getting along all right and will be well by that time.” “I was in the hospital just two weeks,” said “Nance.” “A vertical cut about eight inches long was made through the knee cap; the opening was spread apart and a piece of lig ament about one and one-fourth inch es long was removed from the inside of my knee. A number of small clamps were used to hold the muscles back in place.” Anson Cornell left the hospital In Portland Tuesday evening, arriving in Eugene that evening, and was at tending classes Wednesday. He will have to use crutches for a couple of weeks, and probably a cane for some time before trusting his knee to its full use. The injured knee was first hurt in the Oregon-O. A. C. game at Albany last year, and since that time the cap. tain-elect for next year has not been able to participate in a complete game. “It is a mistake that we are to lose two men next year from our reg lar line. I think all of the men will be back,” said Cornell. “Before starting baseball this spring I will have my knee examined to make sure that it is in good condition; but I think it will be all right by that time.”
