course wi 11 be laid out from the spillway
to tiie boat house, and the dashes will
he run off in heats. The cup will be a
perpetual prize, the organization winning
the first contest being allowed to keep it
one year. The next year it passes on to
the next winner. The cup will be on dis
play at Laraway’s jewelry store.
A marathon race, starting at the boat
house, to the first portnge, down the river
to the spillway, and back to the boathouse

plenty of amusement for the spectators.
The tilters fight with long poles with
plenty of padding on the end to prevent
any danger. One man sits in the stern of
each canoe, the other two men stand up
and attempt to shove euch other into the
wa ter.
All the organizations are to enter the
contest, and ns many canoes may join as
they desire. The event will l»e staged on

away on n trip, and good weather will be
selected.
“Hill" Hayward, track coach, nnd Ed
Shockley are conducting a set of rules
and regulations which will be presented
to the organizations for thier approval.
Racing canoes will be barred from the
contest to give all canoeists an equal
chance.

LITHOGRAPHY ART SHOWN
Mr. Allen Eaton Will Supplement the
Exhibit With Lecture on Process
The exhibition of lithographs to be
seen at the University architectural
exhibit room Friday, Saturday and
ESunday, is not only the first exhibition
f the kind to come to Eugene, but prob
bly the best that has yet come to the
Pacific coast for circulation, according
to Allen Eaton, who is in charge.
Two Leotures Arranged
Friday evening, at 7:30, and Sunday,
Int 3 o’clock, Mr. Eaton will speak in
formally on the art of lithography, ex
plaining the process and its advantages
and disadvantages as an expression for
the artist. In this connection he will
illustrate the process with a lithograph
er's stone, which has been worked* upon
and from which impressions have been
made. This stone and materials were
loaned by Bushong & Co. of Portland for
]the demonstration, and the work was
.prepared by Mr. W. .T. Hill of Eugene,
who understands the phases of the lith
ographer’s trade, having served many
*years in the work.
Works of Famous Artists
I Lithography is the art of printing by
a chemical process from stone. Commer
cial engraving is often used in connection
with the work, but the examples shown
In connection with the work, but the
Examples shown in this exhibition nre
'all printed from the flat surface of the
stone. Among the well known artists
whose work will be shown here are
Joseph Pennell and J. M. Hamilton of
America and Frank Brangyn of England.
In addition to the lithographs, which
come from the Lenefelder club of Lon
don, there will be shown a few etchings
and lithographs from Hill Tolerton of
iSan Francisco. These latter prints will
be interesting in themselves, but partic
ularly so ns a means of comparing the
different processes used by artists.
RAH-RAH SPIRIT CHECKED
ON UNIVERSITY CAMPUS
Sophomores Hear Voice From Above;
Decide Not to Make Classmates
Wear Corduroys
I University of Washington, Jan. lit).—
"Ivuugaroo courts” and the traditional
'“hothand” will have no part in determin
'ing the fashionable dress of underclass
|‘inen at the university. A warning issued
'by President Suzzallo seems to have
hud a persuasive effect on the sophomores,
| who had intended making ull second year
men wear corduroy trousers. The “vigil
ance committee,” which was to have ex
ecuted the will of the majority, has now
Regenerated to an organization for the
Reckling of those who dislike the “cords.”
Dr. Suzzallo isn’t opposed to the wear
jlag of distinctive garb by college stu
dents. lie merely objects to the meth
ods which the youngsters threatened to
employ.
i Tradition Versus Coercion.
“Traditions endure,” he told the stu
dents, "because they are useful aud be
!loved, aud coercion creates a dislike
'which interferes even with utility. While
'there is nothing to be said for coercion,
there is also little to be said in favor of
jthe sophomores who haven’t enough sen
timental interest in their college comrade
ships to join in the folkways when there
doesn't happen to be a good reason for
standing apart. Such a reason sometimes
exists. Hoys living in the city or who
are engaged in part lime employment of
jten find a special college garb inconven
|ient.
Against Snobs.
“If the merely snobbish desire to wear
Ibetter clothing than someone else keeps
icertain college dudes out of sophomore's
garb, that is largely their own business,
'but they might indulge in a little self-ex
amination with profit to their own char
acter."
1 Professor Suzzallo thinks the location
'of the university in a large city, where
'the students constantly meet outsiders,
and the large number of self-supporting
students who find distinctive apparel a
handicap, prevent the success of the clnss
garb system, here.

form, and kept the Betas’ basket well
protected throughout.
Sigma Dhi and lota Chi furnished the
'slap-stick comedy for the evening. The
score printed on the hills announced a
'10 to “ score in the former's favor.
'After perhaps five minutes of rotten
‘play, in which neither team scored, the
'Sigma Chis began to get anxious and then
'it was worse than ever. Hut in the sec
ond half things went better and they got
'away without the golden goose cack

Tuesdays Games.
1 The first half of the A. T. O.-Oregon
club game ended In a 3 to 3 tie. Hut in
'the second half the A. T. O.’s started
some of the best playing that has been
'seen around these parts and ran their
end of the score up to 20, while the
Club could not grab any more than 8
for their whole play. Kirk proved himself
one of the beat guards of the series in
this game, continually taking the ball
away from hin mtfn and getting it out
of dangerous territory. The two forwards
played well, arid made their share of the
points, while Nelson was there ag usual.
Cate, the Club forward, was kept well
covered at all times.
• Farley is Dorm Star
The Dorm, ran up another of their
high scores against the Sigma Nus when
they took the game 17 to 3. The first
half ended 13 to 1, and was in truth the
walk-away the! score indie .ted. while the
last half was more of a game. Farley was
the star of the game, continually putting
the ball in the basket.
Kappa Sig-SIgma Chi Game Close
Sigma Chi defeated Kappa Sigma, 7
to 3. This wat a hard fought, thrilling
game, which held the spectators under
tension until the end. The Sigma Chi
teum was the ‘same, and used the same
tactics with v'hlch they defeated Delta
Tau Delta. The Sigs seemed unable to
annex the baskets, but this was partly
due to the effective guarding of the Sig
ma Chis.
The Beta and Fiji football-basketball
teams put on a good game. There was a
little to much beef to-make ihe game fast,
but at times 1:he play warmed up. The
goose-egg scor's of both teams at the end
of the first half. Then the Betas began
to get excited and grabbed 7 points while
the Fijis ended the game with the same
score with whfch they began— a cipher.
