CENTRAL DELIVERY
SYSTEM IS FAVORED
Adoption of Plan Would Free
Thousands of Men for
Needed Industry
Says Drucker.
Commerce Dean Discusses Idea
of Simplifying Hauling
for Merchants.
A plan for a central delivery system
has been formulated by Trot. A. P. R.
Drucker, dean of the University of Ore
gon school of commerce, with the idea
of complying with the government's re
quest that deliveries be greatlv simpli
fied.
According to Professor Drucker, the
advantage of his system is that in pro
viding a central company to have charge
of all deliveries in a community, fully
30 per cent of the men now employed in
delivery work would be free to engage
in other occupations.
“The chief reason.” said Professor
Drucker, "that the government advo
cates few deliveries, is because 1.“>0,000
men are employed in this work in the
United States. Of this number. 665 are
employed in this state. Uncle Sam wants
to take 100.000 men from the delivery
forces and put them at mining, farming,
ship building, etc. My plan would greatly
assist the government in their project.”
Truck Delivery Favored.
Professor Drucker favors truck deliv
ery entirely. “A truck.” said he. “does
the work of four horses and is less ex
pensive than horses. Also, it takes two
men for four horses and only one man
for a truck.”
Mrs. F. R. Hunt, owner of the Eugene
Seneral Delivery system, which has
charge of deliveries from all the leading
stores here, told Professor Drucker that
she employs two trucks and two teams.
Similar companies have been formed in
Marshfield, Sajem and Albany.
The Dean does not favor the entire
abolition of deliveries.
People Want Delivery.
“People are accustomed to a delivery,”
said he. “It is often inconvenient for
people to carry bundles and some are
physically unable to do so. Besides, it is
probable that if no system were pro
vided everyone would attempt to make
his purchases at one time. This Vould
create a great demand for clerks, thus
iefeating the idea of employing fewer
even.”
Professor Drucker has abandoned his
plan for a co-opeTative delivery, as he
is convinced that it wonld be impractical
because of western business conditions.

WRESTLING TRYOUT DATE
IS SET FOR THURSDAY
Team to Meet Washington Will Be Se
lected Then; Everybody Urged
to Show Up.
Thursday afternoon January 17. at 2
r- m. is the hour and the day set for the
meeting of all those who are intending to
try for places on the Varsity wrestling
team. Dean Walker and Coach Harold
Grey, who are to handle the team, make
this announcement to everyone interest
ed in wrestling.
Coach Grey admits that the military
work is interfering with the candidates
but hopes that all those who intend to
try for a Varsity place will heed the an
nouncement.
“The meet with the University of
Washington is only a month away and if
we intend to have a team we must get
everyone out and get towork. Even this
does not give much time for train
ing and conditioning the men so everyone
will have to do their best. If there is
anyone who cannot meet at two o'clock
Thursday they should try and see me on
the campus and arrange for hours of
training,"’ said Coach Grey.
U. OF W. MATHEMATICS
HEAD VISITS OREGON
Prof. R. E. Moritz Investigating Condi
tions of Principal Colleges In
United States.
Professor R. E. Moritz, head of the
department of mathematics at the Uni
versity of Washington, was a guest on
the University of Oregon campus last
week. Professor Moritz, who is on a
leave of absence while visiting the prin
cipal universities of the United States,
and investigating conditions therein, ar
rived in Eugene on Thursday and left
for the south Saturday. Before proceed
ing to California he visited his sister,
Mrs. Boyd, at Goshen.
Friday at noon he was the guest of
the University Science club at the Os
burn hotel. During the luncheon, ’Pro
fessor Moritz gave a short talk to mem
bers of tbe club- Lie paid a high tribute
to members of tlie Washington faculty
who were formerly connected with the
•University of Oregon, among them Pro
fessor Colin V. Dyment.
War conditions have completely re
organized research work in our uni
versities. according to Professor Moritz.
All energies have been bent toward the
temporary problem of meeting war con
ditions. This is very fitting at the pres
ent time, but there is danger of this
temporary idea getting too firm a hold
upon our students and ruining their
perspective, ho said. There is a tendency
among students to demand returns from
a course before they have even investi
gated it, according to Professor Moritz.
Professor Moritz is the inventor of
a device for drawing curves, lie is also
the author of a number of books, anions*
them “The Philomath’s Quotation
Book.”
The Washington mathematician was a
fellow student of Professor E. E. DeCou, I
head of the Oregon mathematics de
partment, at the University of Chicago,
20 years ago. He was favorably im
pressed with the Oregon mathematics
library.

j Heavy Snows Hold Up Orders
for Draft Boards Regard
ing Enlistment.
The ordnance course will probably
! start the latter part of this week, ae
| cording to Lieutenant C. C. Jeremiah.
The delay has been caused by the fact
that all eastern mail has been held up
by the severe snowstorms in the middle
west. “As soon as the mail gets through
front Washington, the men will be able
to enlist for the course, and then we
can start work.”
This delayed mail, according to Lieu
tenant Jeremiah, includes the instruc
tions to the local draft boards just what
branches of service are still open to the
men of the draft. That the ordnance
course is still open Lieutenant Jeremiah
is certain, and while the delay will cause
a great amount of difficulty in getting
the men all here and started, it will be.
nevertheless, the largest course of the
three that arc to be given.
“I really know very little more about
this matter, and the hitch that has sud
denly presented itself, than do the men
themselves,” is the way Lieutenant Jere
miah puts it, “but 1 know that if the
government does prohibit drafted men
taking the course, there will be no
course.” There are a large number of
applicants who were unable to get en
rolled in the course at first who will
step in and take the place of the men
who have quit
So far about 15 men have presented
themselves for the work, and word has
[ been received from the others to the
' effect that they are awaiting the action
of their local draft boards before com
ing here to enlist. The majority of
those who did show up for the work
have returned to their homes and are
waiting until the rest of the men signed
