DEI OF NOTE ENLIST
FOR SUMMER SCHOOL
G. STANLEY HALL, PRESIDENT
OF CLARK UNIVERSITY,
TO LECTURE
MANY COURSES TO (OFFERED
Professor Cubberly, Educationalist,
and Professor Smith, of Greek,
Are Secured for Subjects
Dr. Joseph Schafer, head of the De
partment of History, recently received
a wire from G. Stanley Hall, Presi
dent of Clark University, Worcester,
Mass., to the effect that he would be
here to take his place in the coming
summer school session of the Univer
sity.
President Hall is a specialist in
Child Psychology, and, among other
works, has written a book on Youth;
Its Education, Regimen and Hygiene.
He has also, at different times, held
the editorship of the American Jour
nal of Psychology, of which he is the
founder, the Pedagogical Seminary,
the American Journal of Religous Psy
chology and Educaton and the Journal
of Race Development.
Among a number of other important
educators who will be lecturers at the
Summer School session, two have been
added recently who will be of partic
ular interest to teachers. They are
Professor Elwood P. Cubberly, head
of the 'Department of Education at
Stanford University, and Professor
Charles Forster Smith, head of the
Department of Greek at the Universi
ty of Wisconsin.
Professor Cubberly was in Oregon
several years ago for the purpose of
conducting a survey of the Portland
schools. He will give a series of spe
cial educational lectures. Professor
Smith’s message on the value of clas
sical studies as a part of the scheme
of education will be of particular in
terest to teachers to whom real cul
ture and inspiration are the important
things, rather than mere book learn
ing. Professor Smith has suggested
the following subjects for his lec
tures: “The Making of a Scholar,”
'“Personality in Teaching,” “Socrates,
the Great Teacher,” “Some Advantag
es of Classical Training,” and “Culture
is Breeding.”
Definite plans are being perfected
for a Ministers’ Conference to be held
during the session, and it is probable
that an Educational Conference much
like the one held last year, will also
be conducted.
The Summer School attendance last
year was 145. Miss Mozelle Hair, Sec
retary of the E:ftension Department,
states that she doubts whether many
of the Eastern instructors on their
way to the fair will stop here for the
summer session this year, as was ex
pected by some. “Berkeley will be too
big an attraction,” she said.
Thus far, no definite plans for so
cial affairs have been worked out, but
the annual Summer School picnic is
certain to be held, probably at some
point along the McKenzie river.
One of the most important features
of the 1915 Summer School session
will be the field course for teachers,
wnicn will De estannsnea ai tnai ume,
if present plans of Dr. W. D. Smith,
' of the Geology Department, material
ize. The aim will be to provide ac
tual contact between the student and
the objects, of his study, as they oc
cur in nature, while at the same time
practical instruction will be afforded
in the many phases of camp life.
The party will traverse either by
foot or by suitable conveyance the Si
uslaw valley, where geological and bo
tanical formations characteristic of
the region will be studied. The work
is to constitute a part of the regular
Summer School courses offered, and
credits will be given for the work
done.

IF SLOPPINESS IS STYLE
TIS FOLLY TO BE TRIM
Dr. Stuart and Gymnasium are Pow
erless if Fashion Plates Op
pose, Hints Poet
A poem posted in the Women’3
Gym this week illustrates the idea
mentioned early and often by Dr. Ber
tha S. Stuart, in her talks on Pos
ture, that style in women’s posture
accompanies style in women’s gowns.
One stanza is addressed to “Sweet
and-Twenty” of the past year:
Be limp, my dear and knock-kneed,
Affect a slouchy gait.
Look imbecile and spineless,
Just like a fashion plate;
Do try to poke your chin out,
And hump your shoulders, too!
"V^hen you look trim and tidy,
I’m quite ashamed of you.”
Helen Jane Hamilton, ’15, has been
appointed a member of the Student
Affairs Committee.
SOCCER SEEKS HID
FORJWO GAMES
#
To Assure Active Season Either Soc
cer Must be Recognized or an
Appropriation Granted
“You may complete arrangements,
if desired, regarding a soccer game
between Multnomah and Oregon.
While the matter has not been put
formally before the Board of Trus
tees, the Trustees have individually
signified their satisfaction "with a mu
tual guarantee of $65.00,"
This letter from the chairman of
the soccer football committee at the
Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club
will be laid before the Student Body
at its meeting Wednesday forenoon.
Multnomah’s proposal is to come to
Kincaid Field on a $65.00 guarantee,
the University retaining all the gate
receipts, and to give the University
a similar guarantee for a return game
in Portland. If authorized by the Stu
dent Body, these will apparently be
the only outside games the soccer
team will get this year.
The situation that is to be laid be
fore the Student Body is briefly this:
In September, 1913, the athletic au
thorities of the University decided to
try out soccer as a sport. The game
found immediate favor. It was used
for gymnasium classes at first, and
from these classes was chosen and
trained a team that seemed strong
enough to put against the champion
interscholastic team of Portland. The
games were played, each resulting in
a tie. The Graduate Manager handled
the games. The 1913-14 soccer sea
son resulted in a $40.00 deficit.
In September, 1914, the old socrifr
men got out again, and recruits
swelled the squad to 27. This squad
was worked all fall and winter. “It
may not be able to beat Multnomah,
but it can beat last year’s team 3 to
0,” says Neal Ford, captain.
The squad has steadily expected
several outside games, which it was
believed could be put on at a season’s
deficit of perhaps $50.00. The Exec
utive Committee of the Student Bod/
discovered, however, that an appro
priation could not legally be made to
cover a possible deficit, and that the
Student Body must either directly au
thorize this appropriation or adopt
soccer as a Student Body sport.
Action by the Student Body that
will make possible the two games with
Multnomah will be asked at the
Wednesday meeting.
It will be argued that soccer is not
a losing game, that it pays its way
everywhere in the many countries in
which it is a feature of national ath
letics, and that while adding greatly
to the athletic facilities of the Univer
sity of Oregon, it would not be adding
to the financial burdens of the Stu
dent Body.
HAYWARD HAS 40 MEN
WARMINGUP ONTRAGK
MARCH 17 WILL WITNESS AD
VENT OF STRICT TRAIN
ING RULES
HUGGINS, BOND AND FEE OUT.
“Buck Shims,” Claimed by Some to
be Annual Affair, Get
Early Victims
Floyd Westerfield.
March 17. That is the day when
all track men must don the sack
cloth and spread the ashes, for the
decree has just been issued that
strict track training rules will be ob
served from the above date until
the end of the season.
Thus March 16 will witness the exit
of the Fatimas, the Carabanas, coca
cola, canoeing, pigging, queening,
fussing, crawling, some kinds of
walking, and a whoic bunch of other
erstwhile pastimes. “That doesn’t
mean,” said Bill, “that the boys are
to turn themselves loose till the sev
enteenth. A poor bunch of fellows
who will train consistently is better
than a good bunch who neglect pro
per training, for it is easy to slip
something over the latter.
“I am going to arrange so that we
can have smaller squads, probably
working the distance and weight men
and the jumpers and sprinters three
times wlekly on alternate days.
“This-' will make it necessary to
have one squad out on Monday, Wed
nesday and Friday. The other bunch
will work on Tuesday* Thursday and
Saturday.
“Trot around, warm up, and keep
going,” are the general directions
under which about 40 men are begin
ning training for the track season.
Special instructions are given the va
rious candidates as their faults are
noted by Bill Hayward.
The work this week has been un
der the old shed, as rain has made it
nearly impossible to use the quarter
mile track. Although the sheltered
straight away is a little hard, 40
pairs of spikes will soon make run
ning good in that part of the field.
The broad jump pit, also under cover,
has been put in condition.
So far no world-record beaters
have shown up, but, according to Mr.
Hayward, there is no dearth of ma
terial. Some of the men have good
form, but most of them soon find that
there are plenty of ways in which
they can be touched up.
Distance men and pole vaulters are
still in demand. So far Huggins is
the only old man to don the spikes
for the long runs. Bond, formerly
of Eugene High, and Fee, seem to be
the only available material for the
pole vault. And there is a brand new
pole in the gym waiting for someone
to vault into the newly prepared pit.
Some of the men are having “buck
shins” for the first time; others, who
claim the malady is an annual affair,
are waiting for the time when they
can take a full grown stride.
* The Student Council will meet *
* at 7:00 o’clock tomorrow evening *
* in Professor Ayer’s room in the *
* Library Building. *

Days instead of years compose the
length of the course taken by 1,600
farmers during Farmers’ Week, from
February 1 to 5, at Ohio State Uni
versity.
Five days were crammed full of
fundamentals and essentials of bet
ter farming, and a number of the
leading agricultural speakers of the
country were on the program.
Recently opening the corner stone

GERMANS WILLMQBIUZEAND
TRY TEPSIGROREAN STEPS
Club Will Give Dance in Gym Friday
Afternoon; Battle Ground to be
More Slippery
The University German Club, feel
ing the need of more funds, will be,
host at a dance Friday afternoon, in
Hayward Hall.
The line of trenches leading to the
encampnient will be carefully guarded
and no one without the password will
be able to get by. The pass word is
thirty-five cents.
Promptly at 4:00 o’clock action will
begin. Hendershott’s division of Bu
glers will sound the note and all male
troops will charge for the sidelines,
where the enemy will await. At six
a truce will be declared until a later
date.
“The floor will not be so sticky as
at the last matinee encounter,” said
members of the committee. “Three
steps will be rare in the order of bat
tle, double quicks like the fox trot
j more plentiful. Waltzes are apt to
I be absolutely barred.”
“Everyone in the University is
cordially urged to come," said Hazel
Ralston, chairman of the committee.
“We expect a fine, large afternoon.”
OREGON FIGHTS HURD,
BUTLOSESTWR GOMES
Washington Maintains Efficiency on
Trip by Beating O. A. C. 23 to
14 Monday Night
By Harry Kuck.
Oregon dropped two more hard
fought games to the veteran Wash
ington quintet, the first on Friday
night, 13 to 21, and the following night
19 to 27.
Bezdek’s five seems unable to get
going the first half. This character
istic has been noticed in every game
played. The first half of the first
struggle ended with the boys on the
small end of a 9 to 1 score, and Sat
urday night they started the last stan
za 1 ndicapped eight points. In both
games, the second halves were stand
stills. In the first game both teams
scored 12 points and the final of the
second game 11 points were annexed
by both contending parties.
Another Oregon weakness is not fol
lowing up the ball with enough zeal,
both on the floor and off the back
board.' In dwelling upon this defect,
Coach Bezdek says: “There aren’t
enough of you after the ball; go after
it, the .chances are you can secure a
held ball.”
The last game 'was a hard one to
lose. The locals came from behind
and fought a splendid uphill battle.
With six minutes to play they were
within two points of the lead, but the
“old man” tunwc and several close
shots missed and then Robinson caged
a long shot which started Washing
ton scoring. After that they allowed
the Lemon Yellow but one point and
scored six.
Savage has perfected a fine machine
with his veterans, and is the backbone
of the team himself. McFee is a prac
tically unerring tshot, and Fancher,
the other guard, annexed three bas
kets during the melee. Davidson
failed to score in both games, but Rob
inson caged several long shots and
kept the locals worried by continued
shooting.
Lyle Bigbee was the star of the
first game. H(s guarding was excel
lent and he did more to facilitate team
work and the advance of the ball than
any other Oregonite.
Sharpe got a chance at forward dur
ing the last few minutes of the first
gan\e, and scored twice in rapid suc
cession with hard shots.
Carson Bigbee scored all of Ore
gon’s nineteen points in the Saturday's
contest. He grabbed three baskets
and shot thirteen out of fifteen foul

That college men are the most ef
ficient and dependable workers in the
harvest fields is the statement sent
out by the commissioner of labor from
Kansas. He deals with men from thir
ty* colleges every summer, and finds
that they are much superior to other
farm help.
Students at the University of Illi
nois are beginning to rebel against
the “new" dances, saying that mod
ern dancing has become an exhibition
of athletic prowess or an evidence of
long weeks spent in arduous prac
tice, instead of graceful and univer
sal diversion.
The University of California ia go
ing to have a new track, which will
be completed on or about February 1,
1915. The cost of the track and stands

in number and will be 456 and 446
feet long. They will have a seating
capacity of 12,000.
