Service Book ? Captain Lewis Bond Only Man Left From Last Year’s Team. Hurd, Hirschner and Downard Are Strongest Contestants for Places. The tennis team of this year will be on about an equal footing with last year's team, according to Captain Lewis Bond. Captain Bond is the only remaining member of last year’s team. 11 is brother and doubles partner, Paul Bond, will not be here this season nor will Williard Hayes, the third member of the team. Uoscoe Ilurd, who made a strong bid for the team last year will bn out for. the team as will Lawrence Hirschner and Paul Downard of the last year’s freshman team. Mortimer Brown, of Portland, ranked sixth in the tennis tournaments of the .Multnomah club last season, is expected to enter Oregon the coming semester. The team has always had the draw back in the past, says Bond, by not having enough good men to play against, lie thinks such a condition will not ex ist this year. The University of Washington is suf fering this year by the loss of their en tire last year's team; Muiuria, Canfield and Kaufman. However it was reported last year that their freshman team was equal to the varsity. The Oregon team expects to have two matches with O. A. C. teams this sea son as quite a little interest is growing in the sport there, and reports say they will produce a fairly strong team. Bond requests all men interested in the sport to come out and get into the competitions as soon as good weather begins. The annual freshman tournament will commence soon after the close of the present semester.

SCHOLARSHIP CUP IS WON BjfPIBETI 1 Silver Emblem Presented to Winning Fraternity at Assembly. Dr. J. S. Kirtley, Chicago, Lec turer, Speaks on “The Debt That Grows.” Dr. James S. Kirtley, lecturer and author of Chicago, spoke oil ‘The Debt That Grows” at assembly yesterday. A large silver cup was awarded to the I’i Beta Phi for highest average standing during the past yeaT. This cup was presented to the T'niversity student body by the Portland alumnae of the Chi Omega, and is awarded annually to the woman’s sorority having the highest average scholarship. Doctor Kirtley stated that he had heard from indirect sources that Ore gon is rapidly coining to its place among the great state universities of the coun try so he came to Oregon to breath its atmosphere and get some of the Oregon Spirit. The functions of a college education can be divided into five classes, accord ing to Doctor Kirtley. The first one is to put the student in possession of knowledge. “College is an institution for localizing the universal knowledge. It is a sort of wireless station which trans mits universal truths and localizes them.” The second purpose given is to de velop each power used in gaining the knowledge offered. The conscience and will are developed by study, and long after the facts are forgotten the bene fits remain, asserted the speaker. A college education puts a student in possession of those powers which are dormant until brought out by college conditions. The student should have imagination, but should not be governed by it. Bather he should govern it, and put it to its right use. The Co-Op will handle your second hand books. Bring them in before the next semester begins. The personality of the student is de veloped through his courses. ‘The work in college is to finish a character and not a course.” You will always know it if you do something unworthy, for you build it into yourself.” Doctor Kirtley believes that the development of human beings conies from the reaction caused by their environment. "Some reactions are good and some are bad, but they all leave a deep impression on your charac ter.” education prepares the student to fill and find his vocation. Often men and women go through school without find ing what they are fitted for, but the in spiration usually comes in college, "like oil is suddenly found in oil wells.” said Dr. Kirtley. Another function of edu cation is to enable men to discover new vocations, he believes. If. \V. Davis, pastor of the Eugene Baptist church, began the assembly with a devotional service. YALE SETS ALUMNI DAY. The third Saturday in May will he homecoming day for Yale’s undergrad uates in 11)17. The student council has decided that the students may return to their preparatory schools for the week end without taking cuts. The closer con tact thus gained between the schools and college is planned to be beneficial to the schools, but will serve as an adver tisement for the college. PUSHBALL EXPLODES. The pushball which foe college bor rowed from the University of Iowa, ex ploded a short time before the contest between the warriors of the two under lasses was to take place. The ball is the only one available at the present time, so that a settlement of the differences which exist between the two classes cannot be concluded for some time to come. Fifty eligibles for the varsity and freshman teams turned out at the Uni versity of 'Washington last week in res ponse to a call for basketball candidates. University Orchestra will play at "The Live Corpse." Victorious Edeven (Continued from page one) eurrences in football in Oregon in its early years. Father Moran, of the Eugene Catholic church, told of his interest in the Oregon team and sports in general. He commend ed the team work of the eleven and brought out the point that “the old fight'’ goes a long way toward winning athletic contests. He drew an analogy with the fight of life in this respect also, j E. O. Immel then presented A. R. Tif fany. student graduate manager, a stuf fed goose, supposedly the remains of a goose enjoyed by the Oregon eleven shortly before Christmas day, and re ported to have belonged to Mr. Tiffany. Mr. Tiffany replied that “if the enting of the gops ■ had anything to do with the victory he was willing to sacrifice it.” Coach Hugo Bezdek was called upon to tell “How It Was Done”, naming some of the things that aided in defeating the University of Pennsylvania. The coach told how he had come West and tried the Eastern style of play with the West ern boys and found that it would not work. By changing to a style of play that | suited the Western boy he said he made i out better; he said he would take tiny Western boy to coach in preference to the Eastern. Trainer “Bill” Hayward then gave comments on the game and the trip. “In years to come, whether I am interested in the team or not, I want to be seated on the Western side of the field at an j inter-sectional game—for that is the side j that is going to win,” st.id Bill. Captain Johnny Beckett, who spoke last, expressed the thanks of the team to the Chamber of Commerce and the peo- i pie of Eugene for their support through- 1 out the season. , During the banqu't a student quartet j sang Oregon songs. Oklahoma Quintet (Continued from page one) poets to win. Oregon has been out of intercollegiate basketball and there is no way of comparison. This same fact causes her to be dop ed for a loser this year. Yet with at least four good men contesting for every position on the varsity, Oregon may be in the “dark horse” class. There can be no comparison with teams in the conference until after the game with Dallas next Saturday. Dallas defeated O. A. C. by a score of 32 to 4. O. A. C. was also defeated by Pacific University by a score of 114 to 25, which seems to indicate that O. A. ('. was not playing in their best form when they played the Dallas team. All of Oregon’s opponents in the con ference have bright prospects with prac tically all the best men of last year’s games back on the floor. The success of Washington State win ning the conference championship last year with eight victories out of ten games played, is attributed to a fast machine with no individual stars. They had but j one man picked on the all-Xorthwest j team. None of the team was lost by graduation and they have a.good oppor tunity to dpulicate last year’s team and last year’s victories. O. A. C. was runner-up in the con ference last year but late reports have given a heavy blow to their prospects. Sieberts, c.-ptnin of last year’s varsity and of the all-Xorthwest and all-Pacific coast selections, has taken a position in the employ of the college and will not play while the report is current that Captain Mix has left colitge. lie has not returned from the Christmas vacation. The loss of these two men is a body blow to the Agvie hopes but with the other members of a winning squad still on hand they are formidable contenders for title honors. Whitman college, in third place in the ■ northwest conference last year, is losing i Young, guard; and Clearin, forward: and I will be considerably weakened. Dement, i all-Xorthwest center, is still playing in i j his position. Although Washington was in fourth ! plnce last year, they are expected to j have a strong team this year with the old letter men back including Davidson, coach, captain, and all-Xorthwest and all-l’acific coast man. Last year they had but one letter man to build their team around. Idaho has good chances for a winning team this year. Last year all games wore lost by narrow margin;. They often led during the first part of their games but seemed to lack endurance. Advertising A N U Just received 20 ad vance models of spring dresses, con sisting of sport styles and dancing frocks.
