PACKED GALLERY WATCHES INTER-SECTIONAL CLASH Dainty, Blonde-Haired, Vera Temple, of Buckaroo City, Wonder Basket Shooter. (By Jimmie Sheehy) Pendleton’s undefeated gild's basket ball team continued their long winning streak and proved that their home town ^ produces more than wild west performers and bucking horses by decisively beating the Oakland high school girls' team in the men’s gymnasium last night. The score was 39 to 10 with Pendleton leading all the way. Along with last night's victory the winners carried the girl’s championship high school basketball flag of Oregon. Silverton is the only challenger at pres ent to dispute the title. Soon after the whistle opened the con test, it was evident to the packed gallery that Pendleton would have little trouble in disposing of its taller, and less ac tive opponents. Once the eastern Ore gon girls became acquainted with the five girl, intercollegiate contest rules, which were used during the first half, it de veloped into a matter of how many points they would score in the two-13 . minute sessions. P Pendleton owes her victory to the great teamwork developed by coach Louise Bailey and the splendid all around work of the players. Special praise hould go to Vera Temple and Alta Mentzter, forwards, and the close guarding of Leta Agee and Helen X.dson. They showed at all times a fine knowledge of the game coupled witu ... ..... rui.nation fight to win. The one outstanding feature of the evening's contest was the utter lack of any semblance of tameness or gentleness that the vast majority of spectators, witnessing their first feminine game, expected to see. There were no waits save for an occasional time out. Players on both sides continually flung them selves on the floor to retrieve the ball from one of their opponents. ^ Three minutes after the whistle stnrt ^ ed the game. Vera Temple placed the ball in the net with the first of her numerous standing overhead shots. Soon the en tire Pendleton team was under way. Alta Mentzer and Vera Tt mple were here, there, and everywhere in their restricted territory always passing accurately to each other, after receiving a lag pass from Grace Rugg t center. Coolness, teamwork, and the ability to put the ball in the basket made Pendleton’s task an easy one. Coach Anthony Jaureguy, of Oakland, substituted Agnes Hogan for Marie Che noweth at guard in an effort to break up the Temple-Mentzer combination. The score continued however, with half time ending with the score board reading Pendleton 19, Oakland 5. The second half was a repetition of the first with Alta Mentzer the high point getter. She was far too alert and jk. (Continued on page two) A. A. A. AND B. B. B. MEET Entertain Each Other in Party at Bun galow Thursday Evening.

STUDENT BINDS PAPERS New Work in Library Given to Robert Riggs. The work of binding the newspapers at the library is being done by Robert Riggs t£ Klamath Falls, who has had experience of this kind before. Some time ago M. H. Douglass head librarian, de cided to cut down expenses by binding the newspapers by hand instead of send ing them to the bindery, so he sent out a call for a binder. Three men applied for the position. Riggs being the fits': applicant, was set to work. Ho has been putting in his spare hours doing the binding and is making considerable headway, lie first sews the papers tog ther and then glues heavy manilla shee:s on the back for a covering. Mr. Douglass cannot tell yet just what the savings will be, but says that he is sure it will amount co a large sum. The bindings are not quite as artistic when done by hand, but are durable and will answer the purpose ,iace the demand for old newspaper files is not heavy. PRISONERS7 FUND GROWS Amounted to $185 Friday and Not All Lists Were Turned in. The University of Oregon's war prison ers’ fund amounted to $185 at 2 o’clock Friday afternoon. Not more than four or five of the IS fraternity and soror ity houses had turned in their lists at this time, however, and the faculty had not been thoroughly canvassed. The Y. M. C. A. is the only organi zation which has access to the pris oners of the warring nations. It is the purpose of the society to raise $150,000 among the students of America to aid in the relief work. The money will be spent on all the prisoners, irrespective of their nationality. Mr. Foster expressed the opinion that the total collection would be at least $1500 or $11000 from the alumni and students of the University, and the people of Eugene.

Dr. Stone will speak to the students on the subjects “Faith the Basis of Life”, and “Lif; the Basis of Faith.” Dr. Stone has a wide reputa tion as a lecturer and his coming here' will be looked forward to with great pleasure. INFIELD WILD EMERALD TO BE FREE Member of Student Council Says Tax Should Include Publication. “Emphasis on Athletics Over shadows Other Causes Equally Worthy.” Shall free Emeralds be furnished those students wh have paid their $8.00 to the student-body fund? This question may be one of the issuer to be discussed at the next meeting of the associated students. This proposi tion has arisen from suggestion offered by Floyd Westerfield before the student council Wednesday evening. Westerfield's contention, that one dol lar of each student’s entrance tax should go toward furnishing each student with one copy of the Emerald during the year, was the first before the student-council la t fall. Ray Couch moved that a com mittee be appointed to draw up an amendment to the student body consti tution to comply with Westerfield's sug gestion but the motion was voted down. The argument against the proposition was that the financial condition of the student-body would hardly justify such a venture at the present time. Westerfield is of the opinion that the xpenditure of the students’ money is uneven; that the emphasis on athletics is over shadowing other equally worthy causes. “I hope nobody will misunderstand me as knocking athletics,” said Westerfield yesterday. "I consider that we get our money’s worth for every cent spent for athletics. I believe intercollegiate athletics should be encuraged and fostered to a great extent, keeping with in the limits of good judgment.” At the same time he believes that the Emerald dot's more for the individual student than the value of one dollar in any other student activity would do. The Emerald is the closest to the students, he says, and acquaints them with every thing that is going on, and keeps them in touch with University ideals, tradi tions, students, and faculty as nothing else can do. It was pointed out by Westerfield that, during the school year 1915 and 191(3, football alone cost the student body between nine and ten thousand dol lars; that one thousand dollars, or one dollar from each student’s tax, went for the support of track, more than one dol lar each for baseball, and one dollar from each student for financing the glee club. Various other items of subsidiary im portance were mentioned. “I believe,” reiterated Westerfield, “that part of the runey would be re turned to the students in some more di rectly advantageous form, such as by the method 1 suggested. My proposi tion would not only serve the purpose mentioned, but it would prr ve of great value to financing the Emerald itself.” li\iQUIRE CONCERNING NAVY Students and Alumni Ask for Informa tion on Government Positions. The present crisis in international af fairs is reflecting itself in the life f the campus in various ways. The several stories recently published regarding po sitions in the Pacific Coast navy yards and the exams for second lieutenancies open to University graduates have arous ed no little interest which has centered about the office of Karl Onthank, secre tary to President P. L. Campbell. Two graduates have written to the office of the president requesting further infor mation concerning the positions as marines; a former student now living at Marshfield asked for information regard ing his eligibility for the second lieuten ancy post, and a score or more of young men have appeared in person at the pres ident's office seeking information regard ing various branches of the naval or army life. Among these have been sev eral high in the ranks of the student of ficials and several of the star athletes of the school. WATCH YOUR STEP Pedometers are worn as a test of efficiency by home economics students when they work in the practice cottage at Wisconsin University, in an attempt to take care of the many duties of house keeping, with the least number of steps. President Campbell Appoints Adjutant to Gather War Data on Campus. Information Is to Concern Stu dents Fitted for Places in U. S. Army. Ben. II. Williams, secretary of the alumni association of the University has been appointed adjutant of the Intercol legiate Intelligence Bureau, and will ap point a committee immediately to assist him in the collection of information for the use of the United States government in the present crisis. The appointment of Mr. Williams, which was made by President P. L. Campbell, came as a result of a request frm the national secretary of the recently organized Intelligence Bureau, that an adjutant for this University be appoint ed. The plan of the bureau, which now has adjutants in practically every col lege and university throughout tin country, ic to prepare .in each college a list of the names of all young men who through physical fitness or the pursuit of special studies are pecularly fitted for places in the United States army. These lists wild be maintained, not in the gov ernment records at Washington, but in each school and through the adjutant the information will be almost immediately available to the government in case of necessity. The information blank which is to 1 e filled out by the student or graduate student interested in the matter requests details of the individual's fitness, pre vious training, either scholastic or mili tary, which might be of immediate value in case of war, family and business rela tions and data as to what notice would be required before these could be sever ed, and the like. Th information would be gathered by student committees asking for volun teer details from the student body and the results of these profferd statements would be compiled and placed at the dis posal of the government. The bureau was organized February 10, in Willard Hall, Washington, 1). ('., at a meeting attended by representa | tives of the United States Government and delegates from many of the eastern and middle-western colleges. In speak ing to the delegates at the time of or ganization, Secretary of the Navy, Jo sephus Daniels said in part: “Special ization, organization ,and co-ordination are tiie watchwords of modern warfare as well as of modern industry and busi ness. The Navy Department has for a long time recognized the fact that it must have the full and hearty support of the trained scientific minds of the country if it is to measure up to the full standard of efficiency in the stress of war.” GIRLS WILL STUDY BIBLE To Meet 7 A.

CO-EDS FROLIC IN APRIL * # # # NIGHT OF GLEE PROMISED # . # # # CIRCUS WITH TWO RINGS April frolic a’ la circus is to be served to the fair co-eds of the University on March 24, from 8 r til 11. at the Men’s gym. This is to be an innovation in the way of frolics for two reasons: ■— First, it is an April Frolic in March. Second, it is possible that the stunts will he acted in two separate rings. All the conveniences of a circus will be pres ent, even hot ham sandwiches and even individual ice creams. The two rings will do away with unnecessary pauses and send the affair off with such a rapid motion that the audience will wish that • they had paid fifty cents admission in stead of twenty-five, say those in charge. As is the custom of their sex, the girls refuse to divulge their stunts until at least a week before the frolic, but their promises are for an evening of gurgling glee, swish and swirl which will leave us all with happy hearts.

TO RECEIVE $3500 FOR THREE MONTHS’ SALARY Intends to Get Degree in Chica go School of Medicine Before Returning. Hugo Bezdek, coach of Oregon’s 1016 coast champion football team, will sign a two or three year contract within the next few days whereby he will receive $3500 for three month’s work in coach ing football next fall. It has been a matter of common knowledge that Conch Bezdek has re ceived several inquiries and “feelers" from no less than five institutions throughout the country, after the Penn sylvania game. One offer was especi ally templing and when Conch Bezdek broached the matter to the athletic council last Thursday afternoon it was voted unanimously. By the new arrangement Bezdek will be hired only for the football season of three months at the stipulated salary of $3500. Three thousand dollars of this amount will be paid by the student body with the remaining $500 coming from the university. Provision will be made in the contract for the. teaching of his classes in high school coachhig and personal hy giene. Coach Bezdek plans to leave for Chi cago immediately after he completes his football coaching and class work. He has two solid years work ahead of him before he recieves his degree in the school of medicine. Before he leaves the entire athletic di rection of the department of physical education will be planned out and will go on just as if Mr. Bezdek were here. When lie completes his studies he will no doubt sign a new contract giving him full supervision of the department. Every man who enters the University will b# given a physical examination. Any de fects in the man’s makeup will be rem edied by special exercises and prescribed diets. “It was simply a matter of bettering myself”, said coach Bezdek in comment ing on the change. “I want to further my work in medicine to get my doctor’s degree. I have several warm friends at the institution I was considering. Any change that I had contemplated would have been made this year." The new system makes necessary the hiring of a basketball and baseball coach for next spring. Bill Hayward will no doubt take cbnrgo of the indoor sport. It is quite probable tlint one of the fac ulty members will coach the baseball team although nothing definite has been decided upon.
