In two exciting and hard-fought con
^ tests, yesterday, the Beta and-A. T. O.
quintets emerged victors over the Dorm
and Kappa Sips respectively. 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.

SIGNS PEACE SUGGESTIONS
President Campi»ell’3 Name on Messago
With 800 Other College Heads.
The name of President Cmpbell, with
the names of S00 other University and
college presidents and noted members of
Christian organizations, appears in a
message now being issued to the Ameri
can public and to representative Christ
ian leaders in other countries. The mes
sage contains suggestions fur adequate
guarantees for a lasting peace.
The message is the result of several
conferences held in New York City, by
a group of some forty clergymen and
laymen, the last week in December, 1910.
GYM FIRST-AID MAY PAY
California's Firs* Aiders Get Dollar a
Day; Why Not Oregon’s?
Students taking Trainer Bill Hay
ward's course in first aid may receive
extra pay from jobs in which this know
ledge is useful. A diploma from the first
aid course in the mifting department of
theo University of California insures the
holder from fifty cents to a dollar a day
more than regular wages.
“I am making no promises,” said Bill,
‘‘but there is a possibility that we can
make the same arrangement here.”
MEDICAL BUILDING
may get mm
Ways and Means Committee of
Legislature Recommends
Appropriation.
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.

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.
