rangements in the new home for Uni
versity women will be complete.
The hall, named in honor of T. G.
Hendricks, member of the first board
of regents, can accommodate 150 girls.
It is a three-story brick building, built
at a cost of $50,000, on the unit plan,
which permits of the addition of three
more wings.
All arrangements are strictly modern
and sanitary conditions are of the best,
according to Dean Fox. Provision has
been made for a furnished study, dress
ing room and sleeping porch in each
suite, to be occupied by four girls. Until
the demand for rooms increases, two
girls will reside in each apartment.
The building is equipped with many
conveniences, including shower baths,
long distance telephone booth, laundrx
tubs, electric fixtures, etc.
The general living room, finished in
gray, is furnished in Colonial style, with
mahogany finished gate-legged table, old
fashioned grandfather clock, spinet and
other articles. Mrs. Gerlinger is re
sponsible for the selection of all the
furniture.
The rooms in Mary Spiller hall, the
old dormitory which accommodated 22
girls, will be used by Miss Lilian Tingle,
head of the department of household
arts, for classes and laboratory work.

week-end.
As opposition to this fast quintet,
Coach Hayward intends to use practical
ly the same outfit that started in the
Willamette game. Medley has recov
ered from his injury of the beginning
-of the year, and will undoubtedly play
in one or both of the contests. Morri
son will play one forward, and the other
is belwoon Grebe and Fowler. Comfort
will hold down the center position.
'.Steers ami Wilson will probably start, at
guards, with Medley as a likely substi
tute.
Varsity Beats Freshmen.
Yesterday afternoon, the regulars held
the first-year five to a 40 to 08 score.
A decided improvement in passing was
noticeable, and had Morrison been up
to standard in shooting, the game would
have ended with a different score. Time
and again the midget was unable to
locate the basket.
The contests at Corvallis will open
the conference schedule for the Varsity.
Two return games will be played in Eu
gene on the 22nd and 23d of next month.
Coach Hayward will take Comfort,
Morrison, Grebe, Fowler, Steers. Wilson,
and Medley with him to Corvallis, leav

BEZDEK THINKS WELL
OF PIRATE PROSPECTS
Big League Manager Busy Building His
Team; to Develop Needed Punch;
Praises Bigbee.
Hugo Bezdek, bead of the University
physical training department and Oregon
football mentor, now on leave of ab
sence, finds time to do more than keep
himself warm in the winter-bound pre
cincts of the east, according to news
paper reports drifting westward. Right
now he is busy shaping a team of
Pirates that will uphold the honor of
the Smoky City on the big circuit.
Last summer eastern baseball critics
thought they detected promising signs
in the Pirates and Philadelphia Ath
letics. The Mackmen have crumpled to
a certain extent, but the Pirates may
make good.
“If I land one player I am after,”
says Bezdek, “Pittsburg will have a good
team. So far, I have lost only one man
I wanted to keep. I did not like to part
with “Chuck” Ward, but I had to do
It to put over the Brooklyn deal. Ma
maux was a dead asset and Burlegh
Grimes was dissatisfied. Ho and I did
not agree last summer, and he wanted
to get away.
“We need hitting, and we’re going to
get it. I hope Bill Hinchman will be
able to play, for he can slug. Surely
there it, driving power in aD outfield
composed of Carey, Stengel. King, Hinch
man and Bigbee. Bigbee is also a
clever infielder.
“The Pirates cannot be called exact
ly a youDg club, for we have Carey,
Afollwitz, Hinchman, Stengel, Cutshaw,
and Saier. That is a good liberal sea
soning of veterans.”

That Coach "Boz" is probably holding
his own among the big league moguls in
the matter of headgear is intimated in
the following clipping from the Oregon
•Journal of this morning:
Yep, there are men's hats that
cost $1S. Fred Bohler, athletic di
rector of the Washington State col
lege bought one, although one won
ders how a staid college prof, would
explain an $tS howler in A peaceful
hamlet like Pullman, Wash.
But Bohler did not buy the kelly
for himself and it will not be parad
ed on the main stem of the cow
college town. No. indeed; That $1S
kelly will be among those present iu
the lobby when the diplomats and
admirals and munitions manufactur
ers congregate at the Biltmore or
the Blackstone or the Copley Plaza
or the Bellevue Stratford or the
Planters this summer.
The man below may not he a .less
Willard for size, a Julian Eltinge for
grace or a Jay Kerrigan for beauty,
but lie is a Captain Kidd for gall.
When Oregon played Washington
State last fall, Hugo Bezdek hot a
-hat” with Or. Bohler that Wash
ington would beat Oregon. Bohler,
of couYso. wanted to make sure of
a Washington victory and. knowing
that his luck was rotten, jumped at
the chance to take Oregon. W. S. C.
beat. Oregon, 20 to d, and Bez told
Dock that he'd delay getting the
hat till ho got to Portland and have
the bill sent to Dock.
Of course, since Bezdek is going
to remanage the Pittsburg ball club
this year, he felt duty bound to be
well hatted while making the rounds
of the big league hotels. Since Dock
Bohler is going to stay in Pullman
this summer and won’t see any ho
tels to speak of. lie is wondering
whether the new lids for sale in the
city are gold plated or platinum
lined.

entertainment going on in the hostess
house. There are three parts, the main
lobby, which is always full of quietly
talking men and women; the restaurant,
which served over 27,000 last month, and
the smoking room, where the men and
officers mingle and have a chance to
smoke and read in comfort. It simply
gives that, one touch of home to what
would he an otherwise dreary way of
living,” said Mr. Tiffany.
While at Camp Lewis, Mr. Tiffany
talked with many of the former Univer
sity students, among them being William
Burgard, who is now lieutenant in the
same regiment with Lamar and Leslie
Toozc, and Allan C. Hopkins, instructor
in the school of commerce last year,
now a second lieutenant.

ALLIES USE SCOUT
METHODS! IMS
Colonel Leader Tells of Modern
Watchful Warfare Which
Parallels Tales of
Cooper.
Can Tell Civilian Footprints
From Soldiers’; “Halt!”
by Sentry Out of Date.
That scouting methods, many of thorn
similar to those used by early American
Indians, are now in use by the allies
on the western front, was told by Col
onel Leader to his class in military sci
ence. Tuesday night.
To know that a man, walking, leaves
an even imprint of his heel and toe,
while a man in'running digs in with his
toe, and that the direction a horse is
going can be told by the fact that his
front foot are larger than his hind feet,
is just as useful now as it was in the
time of ,1. Fenimore Cooper’s “Chln
gaeh-gook.”
This brand of scouting art extends
even farther, according to Colonel
Leader. A civilian footprint, can be dis
tinguished from a soldier's because a
soldier is trained to walk with the
weight on his toe and the civilian walks
so flat-footed that lie is known to men
in the service as the "flat-footed civil
ian.’’ Also the men on the western
front avoid crossiug over open fields
and outlining themselves upon the sky
line, and when they hide in tree tops
they are careful not to leave their tracks
around the trunk—the same practices
avoided by Leatherstocking, Tippecanoe,1
and Sitting Bull.
Sontry Code Is Told.
“Halt! Who goes there?” no longer,
rings out in a loud clear voice from !
the darkness, as is the popular supposi- I
tion. Instead, the sentry taps the butt |
of his rifle, the scout or soldier ehal- i
longed answers in code by tapping his
rifle butt. Then he advances toward
the guard, who stands with fixed bay
onet until he is able to recognize or
properly identify the challenged. A loud
dramatic challenge would only let. the
enemy know the position of the sentry,
something that is far from advisable on
the western front with the Germans,
said Colonel Leader.
Sentries and scouts now carry out
every precaution against observation,
from the enemy. Nothing which glistens
is worn, and smoking on sentry or scout
duty is strictly taboo, as the movement
of troops, the bayonet charges, and
practically everything except sleeping
is done at night. And particularly is
this so of the scouts, for it is always
easier to reconnoiter the position of
'the enemy at night.
Smoking Is Forbidden.
In connection with the information
that smoking was forbidden the seout.
Colonel leader said that n match when
lighted could be seen by the enemy at
a distance of 1)00 yards, and a cigar for
300 yards, while the man in uniform «i|
night could be ovserved only at a very
short distance.
Colonel Leader told of an Englishman,
just arrived in interior Canada to hunt
wild game, who became lost, and after
four days was found lying unconscious
from thirst on the bank of a river. After
recovering consciousness, the young
Englishman was asked why he did not
drink from the river. “I didn’t have
1 any gluss,” explained the young hunts
man.
“Resourcefulness is just as much a
part of a scout’s work as it ever was—
and probably just a little more import
ant,” says Colonel Leader.
