A SHOE THAT FITS.
Clipped from the editorial page of the University of Wash
ington Daily, the Emerald is handing the following to its read
ers with the belief that its application is as apt to Oregon this
year as it is to the students of the rival school, for whom it was
written. Both schools are devoting every energy to those war
activities within their reach, the athletic teams of both have
been weakened to about the same degree by -enlistments—taken
as a whole, conditions in the two institutions are nearly identi
cal. But all of this does not detract one bit from the timliness
of the following:
“Once there was a basketball team. This basketball team
was having a great deal of trouble to develop itself. It hadn’t
any really experienced men on it, at least not in comparison to
—the men who were to play against it.
“This team also had a good coach. He knew basketball, and
he knew men. But he didn’t have the material to turn out a cham
pionship quintet.
“Nobody appreciated the situation more than the men. No
body knew the handicap any better than the coach. However,
the coach put in long hours, coaching, and the players worked
themselves to exhaustion playing. There was another factor—
the men were students at a great university. The athletic record
of the university rested with them, and they knew it.
“At last came the time for the first intercollegiate contests.
The men had worked hard. The coach had worked hard. They
went on the floor with a determination to fight. There was a
small crowd to watch them play.
“But when the whistle blew, something went wrong with
■ the crowd. Instead of cheering, they knocked. Instead of cred
Bing the five with the struggle they were making, the crowd
jeered. Their opponents heard the criticisms. The criticisms
didn’t help the fighting spirit of the home team any. Both games
were lost.
“But the coach and the men came back twice as hard at the
next practice. Every man jumped into the game. They made
up their minds to improve, even if the scoreboard wasn’t favor
able.
“Now, the story ends right there. The season had just
started. How about the attitude the students took? Did they—
do they—deserve a winning team?”
KAPPA SIGMA AND
SIGMA CHI WINNERS
(Continued from page one)
Laird put up the heat exhibition for the
1 Kappa Bigs.
In the game between Sigma Chi and
• Friendly Hull, the Dorm team did not
. show up to great advantage. They were
supported by a large number of Delta
■ Tan Delta men who hoped that they
■ would be able to win, thus cruising see
•tion two to have a three-cornered tie.
Luck wan not with the Dorm five, how
ever, and although they had plenty of
good shots at the basket, they were till
able to ring up the points. The Sigma
Chi team played a fast game, and were
out to win from the start. Julian Leslie
was unable to get to the gym in time
to take part in the first half of the eon
lest, but made up for his absence by
tossing two baskets in the last half.
Each Sigma Chi Scores.
The enlira Sigma Chi team deserves a
share of the spotlight ns a result of last
night’s games, and everyone except l’ad- i
den registered at least one basket. Moore i
•uni la'slie stood a little above their
teammates, so they are credited with
being the stars for their team. McNair
and Kunquist get the honorable mention
for the Dorm squad.

others were in thy party. At the sug
gestion of Chet Huggins, the whole party
went up to the barracks, where the nin
bulunee company was housed, and sang
Oregon songs.
Mon join, in Singing.
The men in the barracks streamed out
and joined in the singing. After visiting
with the men for a short time the club
hurried hack to the hostess house and
took a bus to Tacoma where they stay
ed over night..
An early train Friday brought them
to Portland where they sang that night

was learned that the St. Helens trip
was called off they returned to Eugene

MISS DIWSDALE RETURNS
Y. W. C. A Secretary Aids In Clatsop
County Drive; Spoke in Many Towns.
Miss Tiraa Hinsdale, W. O. A. sec
retary, has just returned from a trip
to Astoria, where she has been helping
organisation for the Y. W. C. A. drive.
' The apportionment for Clatsop county
was tfCiiXX' and the committee was get
| ting along nicely when Miss Hinsdale
left.
Miss Hinsdale also visited at some of
the smaller neighboring towns. Several
times she was called on to addrens large
groups of working men.
“It was fine experience and 1 enjoyed
it very much," she said, in speaking of
the trip
Hayward and Comfort, Center,
Leave for Camp Lewis on
Ten Days’ Warfare
Study.
With a double deefat at the hands of
the Aggies as a spur to further efforts,
the Varsity basketball team resumed
praetice yesterday afternoon without the
services of a coach. Bill Hayward, ac
companied by Charles Comfort, left Eu
gene at midnight for American Lake,
where they are to study modern war
fare in order that they may teach it
to the members of the University bat
talion upon their return. They will be
absent from the campus for a period of
10 days.
The departure of the coach and cen
ter of the team leaves the basketball
situation in a bad way. According to
Hayward, the men were just getting
to a point where a great deal of ad
vancement was in store for them. Up
to the time of the Willamette game.
, very little had been done in the way of
forming a working combination, but since
that time, the five men have been mak
ing great strides in the direction of a
unified quintet. So, the departure of
Hayward at this time is a serious blow
to the chances of downing the Wash
ington aggregation on the 18th and 10th
of this month.
Walker to Be Back Tomorrow.
However, Dean Walker, coach of the
freshman five, will return to Eugene
on Thursday afternoon, and will take
up the work of the Varsity, as we'll
as the first-year squad. Until that time,
the team will practice every afternoon
without the services of a coach.
Comfort, who left with Hayward for
the northern camp, will also be gone
for the ten-day period, to the team is
also seriously handicapped in this re- j
spect. However, as no game# will be !
played uttii his return, some of the sec- |
ond string men will probably take his
place until he returns. He will keep
in condition by working out in the Camp
Lewis gymnasium.
In regard to the games <yt Corvallis
during the last week-end, Hayward was
pot a bit dubious. “Of course it is a
disgrace to be beaten by O. A. G.,” he
said, “but not by a team like that. They
had us outclassed in experience and
practice, and also have a number of
old heads at the game. The boys played
as well as could be expected, and I tun
not a bit disappointed.”
To Practice Passing.
Passing practice and team-work will
be the main avenues of effort from now
on until the games with Washington.
The trouble at Corvallis was not in the
shooting, but in passing the ball in order
to get within shooting distance. Time
and again, the Varsity would secure pos
session of the sphere, only to lose it
before getting within the basket zone.
Coach Hayward advised the entire squad
to spend the greater part of their time
in passing and learning to dodge quickly.
Before he left for Camp Lewis, Hay
ward spoke of shifting Medley from
guard to forward. “Doc” has just got
ten under way again, having been set
back by an injury to his ankle in the
early part of the season, and has been
doing good since his recovery.
Most of Remaining Games Here.
All the remaining games of the sea
son will 'be played in Eugene, except
two with Washington at Beattie, and
one with Multnomah in Portland. Man- j
ager Tiffany has practically completed j
arrangements for two games with the
Camp Lewis five, to be played at the
barracks gymnasium on the way to Se
attle.
The remaining home contests will be
with U. of W., on the ISth and 19th
of this month, and with the Aggies on !
the 22nd and 2-”rdt There is still a
possibility for a game with W. S. C..
to be played on the home floor some
time next week.
Glee Club Plays in Hard Luck;
$ 175 Deficit on Trips Reported
“Can you give me an estimate of the
glee, elub finances siuce the trip to
American Lake?” says we to Mr. Tif
i fany this morning.
Says he to us, “We haven't got any.”
That's the status of the men’s glee
club pocketboll since last week’s assault
on Camp Lewis. A deficit of approxi
mately $175 is the souvenir brought
home.
The club played in hard luck. Ambu
lance company 361, which is almost all
Oregon men, was in quarantine for the
second time this winter, and could not
| turn out; the new Liberty theatre opened
with a big show the night after the club
concert, and everybody was more iuter
■ ested in that than in the University etf
terprise. The theatre is on one of the
biggest circuits in the west, and is a
regular stand for the big shows that hit
Seattle, Tacoma and Portland. A cam
paign for sending the Camp Lewis men
hooks of tickets for these plays has
formed a situation difficult for other of
ferings to cope with.
"I realized the difficulty of the situa
tion just as soon as I reached Camp
Lewis,” said Mr. Tiffany. “In the first
place, the auditorium is at one edge of
the camp, along with the hostess house,
y. M. C. A. hut No. 1, and the K. of C.
hut; a study of the records shows that
practically all the entertainments given
there have been supported by one regi
ment. This is natural, for the camp is
n huge place, and going to the auditorium
means a four or five mile trip to men
in barracks on the other side. The
lighting is not overly good, there are
no walks, the streets are somewhat
muddy, and after a day of drill and hard
work, the men do not care to go so far.
We needed an audience of 1500 to break
even, and had about 500.”
Another unfortunate circumstance of
the trip was the necessity of cancelling
the St. Helens concert, owing to the j
death of one of the high school students
there.
In regard to the possibility of an ex
cursion to Camp Lewis for the women’s
glee club, Mr. Tiffany said the whole
thing hung on the chance of getting a
25-eent charge; there is a law in the
camp forbidding a higher charge than
that, and the normal fee is 10 or 15
cents.
“Railroad fare alone will be $450, and
from our receipts we must pay 10 per
cent war tax and 5 per cent Y. M. C. A.
tax. So will have to make sure of 25
eent admission and a good house before
the women's glee club trip can be called
a certainty.”
STUDENT BODY TREASURY
HAS SURPLUS OF $1200
Executive Committee Votes to Pay for
Trip of Ed Sho kley to Come to
Coach Wrestlers.
The student body has a surplus of
$1200 in its treasury, according to a re
port made yesterday afternoon at the
meeting of the executive committee of
the student body.
The committee favored the trip of the
girls' glee club to Camp Lewis, on con
dition that it would be backed uy the
regiment.
The debating teams are to go to some
of the smaller town* in the vicinity to
gain the needed practice. Ten dollars
was allowed by the committee for this
purpose.
Realising the need of a coach for the
wrestling team, the committee decided
to pay for the trip of Ed Shockley, who
has been eugaged in the automobile busi
j ness in Wasco, back to the University in
| order that the team will be ready for
their meets.
The student body is in a prosperous
condition, for the surplus now on hand
is more than it has been at this
time in other years.
