It was the final appearance of all the teams except the Dorm which stages a game with the Oregon Club for the cellar championship of section 1, this evening. The first game, between the Dorm and the Betas, furnished the gallery plenty of amusement. Everything from soccer to running with the ball was injected into the fray. The Dorm drew first blood when, on a toss-up near the basket, Nelson outleaped his opponent and plant ed the ball in the net. A free throw by Pee-Wee Edwards and an easy counter by Bartlett put the Betas in the lead. Another foul throw apiece and the first half ended with the Betas out in front 4-8. Frank Campbell brought his team back with the do-or-die spirit in the second stanza, but fate was against them. Ned Powder, who went out for Watson, had his eye well trained and sunk three out of as many free tries besides netting a field goal. Billie Morrison dribbled the entire length of the floor for another marker. Two baskets—one by Campbell and one by Cossman—were all the Dorm could get and the count at the whistle stood 10-7. The Kappa Sig “ponies” were help less before the machine-like precision of A. T. O. Everything broke just right for the latter. “Shinny” Hargreaves threw three baskets that would be hard to beat in any league, and one from third base on the ind jot diamond brought down the house. The A. T. O. five show ed some of the best floor work seen yet in any of the games. They ran up ten / points in the first period and eleven W, more in the last, of which Dick Nelson ‘ made seven. .Tack Elliott played the leading role for Kappa Sigma with two sensational ringers. To-day will see the conclusion of the regular schedule. If the Fijis beat the Delta Taus they will have the undisputed right to meet Sigma Chi for the big cup reposing in Bill Hayward’s sanctum. If they lose, three tains—A. T. O., Delta Tail and Fiji will be tied for the honors, and a round robin will be necessary to determine the wither.

Students taking Trainer Bill Hay ward's course in first aid may receive extra pay from jobs in which this know ledge is useful.

Campus Will Be Situated on Marquam Hill, in Port land. Recommendation by the joint ways and means committee of the state legisla ture that $100,000 be appropriated for .1 new building for the medical school of the University at Portland has encourag ed friends of the institution to hope for the passage of the measure. The amount agreed upon is $38,820 less than was asked for by the University. The appropriation allows $40,000 for a new building and $00,000 for mainte nance. If the appropriation bill passes, the school will have approximately $115, 000 for construction of a new building. Part of this sum will come from an ap propriation of $50,000 made by the legis lature last year, and from donations by people of Portland, amounting to some thing like $25,000. An offer to donate a site for the new building has been made by the Oregon Washington Railroad and Navigation company. “The state has been in need of a medical college in Portland for several years,” said Karl W. Onthnnk. The small branch of the University has been inadequate to train as many students as apply for medical education.” The building's now occupied by the medical school was built in 1802. It is a three-story structure and contains lab oratories a dissecting room, two lecture rooms and the medical school library. The campus of the new medical college is to be situated on ilarquam Ilill, one of Portland’s most attractive spots. Un der the stipulations of the O.-W. R. & N. gift it will be possible to erect hos pitals upon the grounds, which will give the faculty of the school every means ot practical instruction in the various branches of medicine. — CO-OP TAKES Y.

ILEX BOWEN LIKE BARRYMORE. - MOn All-Star Cast Named for “The Dictator” Includes Cam pus Favorites. Ruth Montgomery Plays Long Role of Juanita Like a Professional. Among the headliners in the east of “The Dictator,” Richard Harding Davis’ comedy which the University Players will stage at the Eugene theatre Friday even ing, February 16, are Alex Ilowcn and Miss Ruth Montgomery, who will appear in the parts made famous by Jack Barry more and Louise Allen when “The Dic tator” scored the world’s record run for farce-couvedy at the Criterion theatre, New York, a few seasons ago. Those who saw the University Players’ presentation of "The Fortune Hunter” last spring will not soon forget Alex Bowen's performance of Tracey Tanner, the liveryman’s son. In “The Dictator” he has even a better part, lie plays the role of “Charlie Hyne,” the wireless operator who has a perpetual grouch and a sense of humor; a unique combination of which the author has taken full ad ALEX BOWEN. Alex Bowen, who plays leading role in “The Dictator.” vantage, and out of which he has evolved one of the greatest cr medy characters in the English language, “ilyne” is a typical Barrymore part. In fact it was Barrymore’s performance of this role that first raised the brilliant young actor to the dignity of stardom. Bowen looks like Barrymore, and acts like him, and director James Mott solemnly de clares that in (his particular part the great Barrymore himself has little, if anything on our own Alex. One of the big hits of “The Dictator” will be the acting of Ruth Montgomery, who will be seen in the role of “Jaunitu,” the widow from Panama. (“Juanita” is a long part, and Davis wrote it with the deliberate intention of making the audi ence laugh at every line in it. As an author Davis has the reputation of never missing fire, and Miss Montgomery sees to it that every line “goes over” in the exact manner the author intended it should. Her scenes with the bogus American Consul to San Manana (James Mott) are irresistable. Even the seasoned veterans of the cast who have been driven at professional speed through a week of nightly rehearsals, cannot re frain fmm applause whenever Miss Mont gomery begins her second act “dagger scene.” Juanita’s scenes with President Campos (Ernest Watkins) and with the missionary girl (Echo Zuhl) are equally amusing, while her love scene with the Rev. Arthur Bostic (Perry Lawrence) is a veritable scream. From all accounts anyone who misses “The Dictator" will he playing an awful joke on himself. The best seats will cost 50 und 75 cents, and the gallery will cost e quarter. The seat tale opens Thurs day morning, Feb. 15. at 9 o’clock. THETA SIGMA PHI TO ENTERTAIN. Theta Sigma Phi will entertain all up per-class and sophomore women majoring in journalism at the Kappa Alpha Theta house Thursday evening, 7 o'clock. Dean E. W. Alien and (Jraee Edgington are to be the speakers and will endeavor to stimulate interest along newspaper lines. ANTI-FAT WOULDN’T WORK # * # « NEITHER WOULD DIETING # # # * SO HARTHAN QUITS TRYING l’rofessor II. F. llnrthan has given up dieting—that is, he has almost persuaded lilmself that his effort to ward off super fluous avoirdupois has been in vain. After living for twenty or thirty days at a time m a menu consisting principally of orange juice, a little water, Postura, pre pared consomme in jelly form and Anti Fat taken three times daily, the then hopeful professor of Spanish walked up to a scale and found he had gained twen ty-seven pounds. Ever since his arrival in Eugene last fall Professor Ilarthan has endeavored to preserve his physical perfection. He expected to make his appearance shortly in a new evening vest and had had it made to order. Not so long after the vest’s arrival he got it out, stroked itR elegant surface, and put on the gar ment. Ah, tragedy of all tragedies, it locked two inches of meeting around the waist. Now the professor worries no longer about his food, has given up all forms of exercise nnd sleeps from 8 in the eve ning until time for morning classes.
