Oddly enough, these two teams were just re versed in the percentage column last year, when the Phi Delts nosed out Sigma Chi for first place. The game was a hummer right from the start. Both quintets were “out to win” and kept fighting throughout the fwenty minutes of play. More real bas ketball was displayed than in any other game of the series. In fact, every man who played was on either the varsity or the freshman squad. For the first five minutes the play was even. Each team had many chances to dent the score sheet, but luck and over-anxiety kept the leather out of the net. The half was well advanced before Farley of Sigma Chi started the ball rolling with a long shot from the middle of the floor that never touched the rim. These two points were all that were made in this period. Reinhart and Sims broke up play after play of the Phi Delts in the second half and kept the ball well down in the other end of the floor. Another long toss by Farley and a pretty side shot by Cate put the game on ice, for the Sigs, after two-thirds of the contest was history. Loren Roberts saved the Phi Delts from a shutout by shooting one of the made to- order variety on the rebound from a foul throw. Reinhart closed the scoring with a marker from the side. The Phi Delts played in tough luck in their shooting. Hollis Huntington, especially missed some shots by the pro verbial hair’s bredth. In section 2 the Delta Tails demon strated that they are yet to be reckoned with by walloping Sigma Nu 23-6. Even with Bob Atkinson out of the lineup, the Delts ran circles around their op ponents. Frank Scaiefe and Charles Comfort vied with each other in most spectacular shooting. Frank grabbed the1 honors with four ringers, while the best Comfort could do was three. Madden was high point-winner with 12 to his credit. Thursday, the Fijis continued then winning streak at the expense of Kappa Sigma. Knudsen and Grebe between them accounted for all 17 points of the Fijis, and Jay Fox, contributed the five of the Kappa Sigs. Dow Wilson was the bright and shining light of the game. He seemed to be all over the floor at the same time. The failure of the Oregon Club to ap pear caused the forfeiture of their game to the Betas. The line-ups: Sigma Chi 1 hi X >oit Cate.F ....H.

If the word “nccommodnte”were left to the members of Dr. George F. Richard son’s class in English composition at the University,it would be shortened just nine and one ninth per cent. One of the m’s was considered entirely unnecessary, in a recent class test. Twenty-one of the SO members decided against it. Dr. Richardson gave his class 32 words in common use to get a line on ortho graphical vogaries and idiosyncrasies. Of the thirty-two words the only one to escape unscathed was ‘'whether” for every member of the class resisted a somewhat common temptation to in sert an “a” by anology with weather, harmony with the dictionaries on the No member of the class was in entire harmony with the dietoraries on the whole thirty-two words. Two or three came within two words of conformity with the lexicons, and some of the verbal causualties ran into big figures. “Embarrass” lived well up to it’s name in this particular test. Other words that proved troublesome are seize, privi lege, temperament and pursue. Here is the list, with the figures in dicating the number of members of the class who misspelled the various words; accommodate 21 athletic 7 definite 8 disappoint 12 •embarrass 10 excel 11 necessary 4 possession 10 principal S professor 7 receive 11 relieve 6 separate 9 suspicious 4 till 1 truly 3 altogether 9 business 4 disappear 11 eighth 0 especially 3 loose 3 parallel 5 preparation 8 privilege 41 pursue 13 recommend 11 seize 15 surprise 4 tempernment 14 too 1 whether 0 GIRLS TO MIX AT DINNER Fraternity Women Adopt Plan to Get Acquainted; One-Half House Entertains Visitors.
