Only one more round and the dough nut series will be at an end and there was never a more mixed up proposition for a sport enthusiast to work on than the one at hand. Every one has beat or been beaten (mostly the latter) by every one else. But the series has afforded lots of pleasure to lots of people, and there is still some in store for those who are advocates of President Wilson’s policy; and wp are with them. On Friday there were four games run off, and they were all good games. Some !of the teams seem to be standing still but most of them are advancing in the rudiments of the game, until some of them are good teams now. Dorm Boys Whitewashed. The first teams to appear yesterday were the Sigma Chis and the Dorm. The game consisted mainly of passing, and fighting over the ball; it ended 9 to 0 for Sigma Chi. The guarding of the Dorm team was gcJod, and was responsible for the lowr score of their opponents. But owing to the absence of Farley, the mainstay of t^e team, who was hurt in the Beta game the day before the Dorm was not able to get a point. Kuck, gen erally one of the best open shot artists of the league, was unable to locate the basket under fire. The Sigma Chi star was MeCready who made all of the points but 2 for his team. As usual the team played together well. Kirk Put3 Up Stellar Game. The Phi D^lts hung up the score of 23 to 3 over the A. T. O’s. At that it was not a bad game, but the A. T. O’s. missed the good guarding of Kirk, who has been putting up a stellar game in this department. And Nelson was slow. Roberts, the lanky center got basket after basket, most of them long, diffi cult shots, and the other men worked well with him, both in scoring, team work, and guarding. They seem to be going better every day, and there is no doubt that they do deserve the cham Ipionship. Their guards are able to cover the ground and get the ball out of dan gerous territory, while their forwards can make the baskets. No Fouls Aro Called. || Kappa Sigda and Beta put on a fast S'good game which the former won 6 to 4. |f Fa eh team missed a man Ford sub H stit-uting for Woods, and Campbell for i| Bartlett, bothi at the center ring. The Sig. team was fast, and continually get ting away but they seemed unable to get the baskets after shaking their men, although this part of the play was not especially evident. Dolph carried the horseshoe, ajfd got two fine baskets, one from the center of the floor anda one-handed shot from the side. No fouls were called arid there was no necessity for any because both teams were play ing clean ball. The scoring for the Sigs was dstributed between the two for wards and the center. At last —at last, the Sigma Nus have Malso won a game. The cellar champion ^pship is going to be decided later, when 'Jthe Iota Chi. Fijis and Sigs, are going to play a round-robin. So each team has ‘ defeated one of the others. The Sigs had the better of the argument all the way through and deserved to win. McLean annexed another basket and it was also a beauty. Oregon Club Runs Away. On Thursday the Oregon club ran away from the Iota Chis by a 22 to 2 count. It was tjie overwhelming’ defeat that can be "surmized from the score. How* ever,°some of the Club men have been crabbing about the fierce luck that fol lowed them throughout the game, claim ing that if the horseshoe had been in their pocket instead of hitting them upon the head, that they would have made high score. At present this honor is held by the Dorm team, which ran up a 23 to 0 defeat. Btitas Won 10-7. The last game wns the Beta-Dorm game, and it was a fine game from every standpoint. The Betas finally won 10 to 7. The first half ended 7 to 8 in the Dorm’s favor. Then the Betas {Continued on page four) TOOZE GETS IN N. Y.

The big football “O” has made its ap pearance on the campus. Fifteen sweaters have been given out by Registrar Tiffany to reward the huskies that battled for Oregon on the gridiron last fall. Those winning^ their “O’s” are: An son Cornell, Lyle Bigbee, William Tuerek, Orville Montieth, Robert Malar key, Clifford Mitchell, Richard Tegert, Kenneth Bartlett, John Beckett, Sterling Spellman, William Snyder, Erett Oal lison, James Cossman and Jacob Risley. Seven out of the fifteen are new men iri the Order of the “O”, having won their emblem for the first time. There are now twenty-four Order of the “Cj” men in college. In addition to the football men, there are four track men and five baseball men. Those re ceiving track letters last year are: Ches ter Fee, Elotn Loucks, Chester Huggins, Martin Nelson, Floyd Payne and Walter Muirhead. Chester Fee, Chester Huggins, and Martin Nelson are the only track men back in college from last year, and Harold Hamstreet from the year before. Last year’s baseball men winning let ters are: Dick Nelson, William Tuerek, Lyle Bigbee, James Sheehy and Waltpr Grebe. These men are all registered in college this year. WILLIAMS SUGGESTS PLAN Coach of Minnesota Team Would Keep Football Men Eligible University of Michigan—The sugges tion of Coach Willimas at the ‘M" ban quet that steps be taken here nt Min nesota to form a committee to see that football men are kept selydastically eli gible, has apparently not been carried out here. A recent dispatch from Ann Arbor indicates that Michigan regards it as a desirable innovation and has taken steos to adopt it. A committee has been nam ed to start work immediately to get promising athletes now in that univer sity off the inelligiblo list so that they will be able to play next fall. Accord ing to Yost, Michigan has enn lied in the university some of the best material any coach could ever wish for, but their own failure to keep above the water mark has made them ineligible for varsity competition. During the fiscal year ending June .“10 last, 4, 162 persons contributed $90, 083 to the Yale University Alumni Fund. “SAVIOUR” OF SENIORS ! GIVES MYSTIC ADVICE .Tuck Luckey, right hand man for Obak, is an educational equilibrist. He has juggled the University schedule sheets and so successful ly manipulated the pages of the catalogue with the'keen foresight of getting something out of noth ing. that he has become an inval uable and indispensible part and parcel to all seniors sadly needing an hour or so to get the coveted sheep skin. Jack never was noted for his mathematical ability, he never played the plinies very strong, but he has followed several “hunches” and come out as logically correct as the keenly analytical Euclid. He has been the life-saver, so it is said, to many a senior in the past and ’tis rumored—only ru mored—that he is answering the S. O. S. signaln now. MINTS OF EMERALD INSPECTED BY COUNCIL Ruling Aids Manager. Gradu ate-Manager &ays Condition of Paper Is Splendid. The student council has ruled that all Emerald accounts shall be kept in the graduate-manager’s office. The purpose of this ruling is to give the Emerald manager more time to look after finan ces and to free him from the great amount of detail work necessarily con nected with the: accounts. It is also hop ed that this regulation will do away with any possible deficit at tip) end of the school year. ■ “The business manager now hands in a list of the advertising duo after each issue,” said A. It. Tiffany, graduate man ager. “One of the office assistants then charges it to the individual accounts. At the end of the month these bills are ad ded up and a duplicate is given to the Emerald advertising collector.” Mr. Tiffany says that the financial condition of the paper is splendid this year. "It is fair to say that everything is going nicely. The reports are being kept up in good shape. Last year the condi tions were rather bad. The deficit for 1914-1915 was $418,84. As far ns I know there lms never been a deficit before. Had the advertising due at that time been collected the deficit would have been comparatively smaller or perhaps none at all.” At the present time there are old ac counts for advertising due the Emerald that amount to $315.88. The executive committee has already started a collec tor in hope of getting at least a part of them. The amounts range from the small est of 40 cents, to the largest which totals $49.30. Of the 3(1 payments due 29 are from business firms and organ izations in Eugene, and the rest are cen tered in Portland, Los Angelos, and even one in New York. Last year’s deficit hns been paid by the student body. The constitution pro vides that the Emerald shall he a separ ate publication,, im enterprise regulating itself independent of the student asso ciation. However, regarding the finances it provides that in ease of a-deficit the student body shall assume the respon sibility of paying it. The salaries of the editor and mnnager are paid out of the earnings of the publication. Should there be a surplus after all the expenses are paid the editor and manager shall each receive 15 per cent of the surplus and the remaining 70 per eent is always turned over to the student body treasury. Last year the salaries were not fluid, inas much ns there was so largo a deficit. “The condition of Inst year's affairs came about from the fact that the execu tive committee had no adequate system of knowing hoiv the Emerald finances stood,” jfaid Mr. Tiffany. “Reports made at that time indicated a seemingly healthy state of affairs. Under the^ new ruling we hope that®no deficit will ever occur again, and that the financial dealings of the paper will be always kept on a sound and paying basis.” ° MUSEUM GETS A PRESENT. The Condon Geological Museum re ceived ns a New Years gift a two by three foot portrait of Mr. Condon, for whom the museum is named. The picture is an enlargement, framed by Mr. Allen Eaton, and presented to the department by Mrs. Ellen Condon MeCornaek. Mr. .1. Duryea, former secretary of the Eu gene Commercial club, has sent the Mus eum some fine views of Ashland and vicinity. Mr. Iluryea is now publicity agent of the Ashland Commercial club. One of the pictures shows Mt. Shasta from Mt. Ashland. Dr. Smith considers this the finest view of that slope of the mountain that he has ever seen. FATE OF SOCCER GAME DEPENDS ON TURN-OUT Coach Dynient Delivers Ulti matum to Squad During Friday’s Practice. OUTLOOK VERY ENCOURAGING The “Me-in-Mud” Days Are Necessary Weekly to Save English Sport. (By CAPTAIN SHEEIIY) T'pon next week’s soccer turnout lies the fate of Oregon's two scheduled sanies with Multnomah. Edict Delivered In Mud. Conch Colin V. Dyment delivered the above edict after Friday night's session in the mud. “The outlook is more en couraging,” said Prof. Dyment in view ing the situation. “However, the hoys must realize that in order to insure the playing of the club games, they will have to practice regularly. At present there is not a man on the team that can handle the ball accurately. It will take lots of • work to remove the rough spots.” Now that the Doughnut: league games are history, and the recent snow lias fin ally disappeared, soccer practice will hold ,sway without the many interruptions it has been subject to. Class basketball starts next week, but it should not take many men from ttie association rapks. Duo to the faculty ruling no varsity teams can practice during examination week. This leaves but a few more scrim mages for the squad to round into shape. 15 Knights of Soccer Learn. About fifteen faithfuls learned somo of the finer points of the game last night. A forward line composed of Pearson, Scaiefe, Wilkinson, Hartley and Sheohy gave Goalkeeper Kennon and five backs all they were aide to handle. This com bination, green as it was, shot four clean goals besides heading two corner kicks under the uprights. After the melee Coach Dyment taught tile boys the knack of blocking the hall with the instep and ankle and getting off on a dribble at the same time. It is a tiling that few of the players have mastered. Games between the two squads will lie in order on Monday, Wednesday and Friday of next week. It is imperative that every man hi1 out on these nights, for upon the showing made depends the future of soccer for the year. MAZAMAS HEAR A. C. SHELTON. Alfred C. Shelton, former field nasi t ant in the department of zoology, spent the week end in Portland where he gave a report on the Birds and Mammals found in the region of the Three Sis ters. During the Christmas.holidays Mr. Shelton made a survey of this territory for the Maznma Club of Portland. Prof. John Bovard was to have given a lecture on Birds to the Maznma ('lull i at this meeting but was unable to lie | present on account of illness from which he has not yet recovered. TO SEND TEAM EAST Behind Stanford will send a team of twelve men east next summer to compete in tlie intercollegiate track and field championships. There will be a dual competition with either Vale or Harvard. This is the first time that Stanford has considered making a trip to the Cast with a trnek team. Heretofore the men have confined their attention fo the Middle Western Conference competition. ^MILITARY-TRAINING OPFSRED A course°in miliMry training is offer ed to students of the College of Agricul ture at Cornell.

Miller, director of the Univer sity school nf commerce, has been chosen one of n-committee of seven by the Port land ehnmbor of commerce to work for a non-partisan tariff board. A meal costing bu the average thir teen cents is served to the students of the University of Missouri. The faculty has installed a cafeteria capable of at tending to five hundred students. The University of Toronto recently commemorated its hundredth anuiver j sary by conferring honorary degrees upon [ several prominent Americans.
