Go Swimming.
The battalion flag for the University
of Oregon is now ready to be embroid
ered by the women of the University.
This fact was announced by Gladys Wil
kins, chairman of the regimental flag
committee, at a meeting of the Woman’s
league in Villard hall at 10 o’clock
Wednesday morning.
The material for the flag was select
ed by Roswell Doseh, of the department
of architecture, and the design was
planned by A. H. Schroff, of the same
department. The flag is 10 feet by 4
feet, with an Oregon seal appliqued in
the center. A border of Oregon grape
will be embroidered around the edge,
and a heavy gold fringe will provide
the finish touch.
Every Girl to Sew Part.
As it will probably remain in the Uni
versity for 200 years, it is to be as well
made as possible. All women who em
bboider reasonably well are asked to
communicate with Gladys Wilkins. Two
can work on the flag at a time, and it
will take 30 girls to finish it.
Colonel Leader hopes that every girl
in college will embroider at least one
stitch in it, announced the chairman.
Miss Mabel Cummings, director of the
women’s gymnasium, presented the pres
ent junior class with the Hayward bas
ketball cup, which they have held for
the last three years.

Tells of Work of Battalion on
Parade; Praises the
Officers.
After reviewing the University bat
talion, (Governor James Wirhycombe,
supplementing a telegram of January 22,
wrote Senator George E. Chamberlain
that he was glad to be in a position
to commend 'the idea of an R. O. T. C.
at Oregon to the senator's considera
tion.
In the letter, a copy of which was
sent to Lieutenant Colonel John Leader,
the governor said: “In supplement to
my telegram of January 22, I beg leave
to confirm my report relating to the
review of the University of Oregon bat
talion, and by recommendation that the
proposed reserve officers’ training camp
for the University be encouraged.”
The governor commended in his letter
the work of the battalion on parade, the
work of the field engineering class, and
:he arrangements for musketry training.
“Considering the time these men have
had for drill.” he wrote, “I was aston
ished at the wonderful progress they
oave made. To my mind, Lieutenant
Colonel Leader and all other officers
Ind men connected with the military
training work, are entitled to a great
ieal of credit for the progress they
have mindo. I doubt if any group of
men could possibly have made such ad
vance in so short a space of time.”

NERVOUS BREAK BRINGS
HAROLD BEAN, ’12, HOME
Former Head of Refugee Station, Son of
Judge R. S. Bean, Returns From
Paris Hospital.
After suffering a physical breakdown,
due to his strenuous duties as com
mander of a refugee station near the
front line trenches in France, Harold
Bean. ’12, son of Judge R. S. Bean.
1 president of the board of regents of the
University, has arrived in New York
and will return to the home of his
father in Portland, or to visit his brother,
Norman Bean, a Eugene architect.
Bean holds a commission as lieuten
ant in the United States army, but was
serving under the English while at the
front. For several weeks bfore sail
ing for America, he was confined in a
Paris hospital. It is probable that he
will return to his duties on the western
front upon his recovery.
Decision Reached to Have An
nual Event as Usual. Date
Set for May 10
and 11.
Military Work Is Feature, as
Also Canoe Carnival and
Campus Luncheon.
“Junior week-end as usual,’’ was .he
decision reached at a student council
meeting Wednesday night when the
i members declared themselves in favor
1 of a big event May 10 and 11 to equal
that of former years, while at the same
time advocating the curtailment of all
unnecessary expense.
Feeling that there is great need to
urge high school students to enter the
1 University this fall, the council hopes
that the affair will be a big success.
Tentative plans have already been made
to have a military review or a sham bat
tle one of the features of the week
nd, besides the usual canoe fete, track
meet and dance.
High school seniors as guests of
sororities were favored by the council.
“Last year,” said Helene Delano,
president of ithe AVoman’s league, “the
spirit of the event was lost because
the women did not entertain at the
sorority houses. The week-end should
be used as a means of advertising the
University.”
Miss Delano is also in favor of the
campus luncheon, saying thait it vras not
am undue expense. “No food,” said Miss
Delano, “was wasted at the home-coming
luncheon. There is no reason why the
same plan cannot be carried out at the
junior week-end luncheon.”

ever undertaken by a University glee
club. The men will go clear to Amer
ican Lake for their first stop Thursday

vided for the soldiers' entertainment at
Camp Lewis.
Many former Oregon men, among

Icy, president of the glee club in

a good turnout.
The second part of the program has
been smoothed out since the concert in
Springfield, and the rehearsal Tuesday
night, wrent off without a hitch. John
Flinn, in his hula-hula dance, and Henry
Eickhoff, as “La Belle Fatima,” are
sure-fire hits.
A slight change has been made neees
Rary since Walter Grebe was forced to
qnit in order to play basketball. In

bury will play a piano solo. Curtiss
Peterson and Mr. Cote will do the vocal

ALL-STUDENT PLAY
TO BE JEI FRIDAY
“Her Husband’s Wife,” Com
edy, Directed by Bob Mc
Nary, Amusingly Com
plex in Plot.
Lyle McCroskey Will Appear
Opposite Ruth Young in
Leading Role.
Woman’s fatal inconsistency. and the
( blessed privilege of changing her mind
with every shift of the weathercock,
'form the theme of “Her Husband’s
Wife." a comedy by A. E. Thomas,
i wi|ich is to be presented by Mask and
Buskin, in Guild Hall, Friday night,
February 1. with a Saturday matinee.
Irene Randolph, a hypochondriac wife,
who lives in constant four of sudden
death, realir.es that, her good looking
young husband will certainly marry
ngain. So she ruffles the gods by at
tempting to choose her own successor,
and finds that she has picked a typical
white elephant—Emily Lodew is every
thing, from viper and vampire, to bird
of paradise, according to the wife’s own
[ vocabulary.
Lyle McCroskey as the genial elderly
uncle, who straightens it all out by
matching one love plot against another,
will play opposite Ruth Young, as the
wife, and Frances Frater, who is cast
as the prospective 'Mrs. Randolph. Mor
ris Bocock will be a treat as Stuart
Randolph, the too-enthusiastic husband,
particularly when a few cocktails too
many induce him to boast to the uncle,
“Dick—-but I c’n lif yn an’ Miss Ladew
tied t’gether ’th one hnn’."
Arvo Simula will take the part of
the lovor who plays for the affections
of Miss Ladew, and Margaret Crosby,
ns Nora, the Irish maid, will supply
comedy in plenty.
“Her Husband’s Wife” is the first all
student production of the year. It has
been staged, costumed and coached by
Boh McNary, and a finished production
is certain, since rehearsals have been
in progress for the past month.
AUSTIN BROWNELL WITH
ENGINEERS IN FRANCE
Took Part in Cambria Encounter; En
joyed Christmas Although Very
Cold; Work Goes Well.
Austin Brownell, ex '16, has been in
France several months with the ISth
regiment of engineers. He participated
in the recent Cambria drive, in which
I the American engineers took so promi
nent a part in a hand-to-hand encounter
with the Germans. In a letter dated the
tiftth of Decemebr, Brownell writes that
he enjoyed a fairly good Christmas.
“I was quite well remembered,” he
says, “by my friends We had a good,
Christinas dinner, so why should we
worry? It has been very cold lately.
In fact, real cold. At present there is
snow upon the ground. It all slows up
I our work, hut even so, work is progres
j sing quite well. There is a lot to do,
and it will be a long time before every
thing is completed. I wish I could tell
you about my work and experiences, but
, cannot. When yoif come over I shall
try and tell you a few of my experi
■ enees.”
Rush That Soldier Music;
Shipment to Go Saturday
The first shipment of music collected
in the Emerald song campaign will be
made to the soldiers in France on Sat
urday, reports the committee in charge.
Everything from “Too Much Mustard’’
to “By the Light of the Silvery Moon,”
besides really popular music, has been
contributed, and townspeople as well as
University students have given of their
long horded stores.
“'When I learn a song, I don’t use
the music any more,” said one towns
woman yesterday to a member of the
committee. “When I saw the story in
the Emerald I decided to tell you to
come by and get all of mine.”
Letters have been received by Uni
versity students from friends in France
begging for popular music. “The very
latest thing it is possible to get over
hero is, ‘Oh, Johnny,’ and even that is
hard to get,” said one l>oy in bis ap
peal.
“The boys will be glad to get your
old songs,” said a member of the com
mittee today. “But if you haven’t old
music, turn in some money, and the
committee will buy really new songs.”
Although several new pieces of music
have been contributed, the committee
wants more. 'The boys really ought to
have “Joan of Arc,” “Where Do We Do
from Here, Boys?” and “Knit, Knit,
Knit,” in every hut. It is these songs
that give the spirit we want the boys
to get.
Much music has been promised that
hasn’t appeared yet, and the Emerald
urges that everyone remember that the
first shipment is to be made on Satur
day.
FACULTY MINSTREL SHOW
POSTPONED INDEFINITELY
Absence of Mrs. Middleton and Professor
Bovard Make Later Date
Nocessary.
The faculty minstrel show, whieh was
to have been given February lt>, has
been postponed indefinitely because of
the temporary absence of Mrs. Daise
Beckett Middleton, who will be with the
girls' glee club at American Lake on
that date, and Professor ,T. F. Bovard,
who is at present at Camp Lewis, train
ing for special milit try instrnetor to
the University battalion. Both Mrs.
Middleton and Professor Bovard have
important parts in the show. Also the
stage at Guild Hall has been difficult
to obtain for rehearsals, due to con
flicting schedules between the faculty
and dramatic interpretation classes.
The minstrel show has by no moans
been abandons), but will be given at
some later date in the spring.
It is probable that the freshman class,
whieh had considered postponing the
date for the freshman glee because of
the conflict with the faculty show, will
now give the dance on the date an
nounced.
Tells of Place Filled by Y. W.
Hostess House Which
Gives Home Touch
to Camp.
Makes Minor Changes in Ath
letic Program and Works
on Glee Club Trips.
Registrar A. R. Tiffany, who went to
Seattle on the combined business of at
tending a meeting of the Northwest Tour
ist association in Seattle, and arrang
ing for the appearance of the men’s
and girls’ glee clubs at American Lake,
returned to Eugene Tuesday night.
While in Seattle, Mr. Tiffany also made
some minor changes of the athletic
schedule with the University of Wash
ington, although he was unable to ar
range a conference with Coach C. J.
Hunt, of that institution, because of
the latter’s absence during Mr. Tif
fany's stay in Seattle.
Mr. Tiffany says that the glee club's
trip to Camp Lewis was advertised by
the University of Oregon boys there who
had hea.d of the proposed trips and
told their friends in camp.
Predicts Concert’s Success.
“I feel sure the men's concert will
be a success,” said Mr. Tiffany, “for
I put the management of affairs into
the liunds of Michael, who has been at
one time or another financial manager
of alomst every activity on the campus,
and who now has charge of six or seven
men in the quartermasters’ department
at Camp Lewis. Mike is on the job, as
usual.” Lieutenants Leslie and Lamar
Tooze, of the 364th company, also were
busy on the advertising, according to
Mr. Tiffany, and conducted a vigorous
poster and hand-bill campaign for the
publicity of the concert all over the
camp.
At Camp lyowis the glee club mem
bers are being entertained by former
Oregon students in the 364th company.
Although Mr. Tiffany did not make
definite arrangements for a trip by the
girls’ glee club, he says that it will
probably be possible, and feels that it
would be as successful as the men’s trip
promises to be.
Thinks Hostess House Good.
The mot surprising thing to Mr. Tif
fany was the size of the camp, which,
he says, he found fully as difficult to
find his way about in as would a
stranger in Portland or Seattle. Camp
Lewis covers S3,000 aerrs.
“The one thing that appeared to me
to be the most necessary thing in the
camp was the Y. W. Cl A. hostess
house,” said Mr. Tiffany. "It is the
only way to meet the need for a pleas
ant place of meeting between the boys
and their friends, and the Oregon boys
asked me especially ito say that they
found it of the finest kind of influence
in the camp.
Sees Former U. Students.
“The house itself is a large gray
building, with more floor spu.ee than
any building on the campus. It is com
fortably furnished with chairs, and has

Hayward’s Men Show Better
Form; Passing Improves
on Eve of Games at
Corvallis.
0. A. 0. to Be Represented by
Fast Team Including
Two Veterans.
A great deal of improvement has been
made during the past week in Coach Bill
llayward’a Varsity team, and a mneh
stronger combination than was pitted
against the Multnomah and Willamette
teams will represent the University in
Corvallis on Friday and Saturday. The
roach has been giving the men some
very strenuous workouts since the poor
showing that was made against the
Salem college five, and a good showing
should be made against, the Aggies.
The practice this week has consisted
mainly in passing and dodging, a thing
in which the men were sadly lacking.
Scrimmage has been held every evening,
and the result is that the men are play
ing togther much better than they have
previously during the present season.
Small Hope of Winning.
Although this is true little hope for
a victory is held by followers of the
lemon-yellow. The Corvallis quintet w
n much more experienced five thin the
Varsity, and will undoubtedly make a
good showing against the Varsity
Thus far the Aggie team has won all
three games which it hiu played The
first contest was with the Willamette
University five. This game ended in
a 10 to 0 victory for the Aggies, who
had practiced only for a few weeks.
Since that time they have improved
considerably, and on last Friday and
Saturday evenings they camp out vic
torious in two contests with the Univer
sity of Washington quintet, the score be
ing 10 to S in both games. The Seattle
five was outclassed by the Aggies in
these contests, and beaten by a fasr,
accurate passing aggregation.

While in the University Mr. Dyment

It was through his efforts that soccer
