Oregon Five Not Selected as Yet; Chances Uncertain Without Medley. With three members o£ last year's fast quintet in the lineup, the Multnomah Club team of Portland, which meets the Varsity in Hayward hall on Saturday evening, is one of the best that has been turned out in years by that institution. In the only game that has been played thus far this season, the clubmen de feated the Seaside Ad dub by the large score of 3S to 17. Every man on the invading aggrega tion is experienced, most of them hav ing played college ball. Sharp, at for ward, and Morton, at guard, are both ex-Oregon men, having earned their let ters in their only year here. Both have played on the club team in former years and have had a great deal of experience. 0. A. C. Man at Center. Mix, playing center, is an O. A. C. product. Last year he held down the same position for the Aggies, and played a very steady game. This is his first season with the Multnomah team. Toomey, at guard, has been with the quint for the past three years. Last year he was captain and was one of the best guards in the northern city. Before joining the club team, he played in the interscholastic and city league teams at Portland. Stinson and Duniwa.v are new men on the squad. The former starred at for ward and the latter played well at guard in the Seaside contest. Have Unified Squad. These men have been practicing to gether ever since the Thanksgiving holi days, and now have a fast, unified quin tet to send against Coach Hayward's five. The Varsity team, on the other hand, is inexperienced. Coach Hayward has been doing his utmost to produce a closely-knit aggregation, but hopes for a victory on Saturday are very dim. With Medley out of the lineup, chances look more uncertain than they did a week ago. Had Only One Game. No contests have been played with the exception of a game with the fresh (Confcinud on page two) Increase of 20 per Cent in Pay to Enlisted Members.

FACULTY MINSTRELS THE REASON’S BIGGEST SHOW Pi o: ssorial Dignity to Be Lost in the Shuffle for One Night Only. Save your date for the faculty min strel which will he staged Saturday, Feb ruary 16. According to the committee the show is in the course of completion and is rapidly taking on the appearance of one not even to be surpassed by the Primrose troop. Professor Bovard has been elected as the logical man at center and when given a trial proved to be a “find” when it comes to working together with the “ends,” one of whom is Mrs. Daisy Mid dleton of all-star ability. The members of the cast say that it will be difficult to distinguish which of the end “men” Mrs. Middleton is holding down. Mrs. Faguy-Cote will introduce a new stunt-—“The mechanical doll” and judg ing from reports should prove a tremen dous hit. She will be ably assisted by Mrs. Thatcher whose ability needs no further comment. The campus fans will also be enter tained by- one of the company’s most able musicians, John Stark Evans, who will present for their approval a piano-dia logue entitled “At the piano” and this the committee declare will be a “knock out.” Professor Evans will also direct the singing and the musical numbers. Another feature of the evening will be a dancing skit by the Misses Bader and Winslow. The nature of the act has as yet not been made public but the com mittee is confident that it will be a dis tinct surprise that will “get by” big. Miss Winifred Forbes will wave the baton for the orchestra over which she has super vision and swears that she will place be fore the audience a musical organization that will compare with the very best in the country, its size. The committee states that the profits of the engagement are to be turned over to the benevolent cause of the Red Cross and consequently everyone purchasing a ticket to the “big show” will not only en joy a rare treat but will at the same time contribute to a worthy cause. Make your date and prepare for the event of the season. Saturday, February the sixteenth. DEAN ALLEN GOES NORTH Will Attend Washington Newspaper Institute at Seattle. Eric W.

The Delta Thu quinret triumphed over the Beta Theta Pi squad in a fast and interesting contest, the final score being 10 to 0 in favor of the leaders of section two. This gives the Delta Tau aggregation two victories to their credit and no defeats. Unless someone stops this crew, it is going to make it a walkaway for the cham pionship. The game was all in favor of the Delta Tau team, from the time Houston Medley shot the first basket, but the Betas will have to be given credit for ‘a good fight, although their basket shooting was very poor. The Delta Tau team showed some classy team work, and excepting for an occasional mental vacation on the part of one of their men, they played a perfect game. The Betas had several chances to score, but bad basket shooting kept them from profiting by their opportunity. Medley Around Again. Tlie stars for the Delta Tau team were Biown, Medley, and Madden, while Spangler, Foster, and Dresser showed up well for the Betas. “Dot” Medley, manager, coach, trainer and press agent for the Delta Tau Delta team, was able to be around Tuesday, aided by his trusty senior cane. “Dot” turned his ankle in practice, and will be on the shelf, so to speak, for a few days. His younger brothel. Houston, upheld the family honor Tuesday evening. The Phi Delta Theta team had its hands full when it took on the whole Sigma Nu house, and the game finally developed into a half-an-half affair, in (Continued on page four) HOOVER SENDS PLES TO COLLEGE WOMEN Asks Support of University: Wants Instruction for All Girls in Food S aving.
