PROFESSOR E. S. BATES
WRITES BOOK ON WAR
“Voices of Immortals” to Go to Press
by Easter; Story of Vision of
American Soldier.
j Professor E. S. Hates, head of the
j department of rhetoric at the Univer
sity of Oregon, is writing a war book,
“Voice of Immortals.” Although Mr.
Bates started writing this book only in
January, he expects to have it ready for
publication by Easter time.
The book gives the supposed opinions
of great English and American authors,
now dead, on prespnt war conditions.
The story tells of an American sol
dier in active service in France, who
becomes discouraged after a battle which
destroyed most of his army. In a dream
he is carried away from the battlefield
to the celestial region, where he is pres
ent at a banquet where the famous Eng
lish and Amriean authors "ive their sup
posed opinions in the form of toasts.
' Some of the speeches are supposed to
1>e extemporaneous, others previously
written, and still others given from
notes.
Some of the speeches that Professor
Bates has already written are, “The
Prayer of Holy Willie the Second,”
which is supposed to he given by Robert
Burns; “Poor Richard on the War,” by
Benjamin Franklin; “Culture and Kul
ture,” Mathew Arnold; “Don Juan m
(Jermany,” Lord Byron; “Dclenda ests
Gramia” (Orinany must he destroyed),
Daniel Webster; and “Ghouls,” by Ed
gar Allan Poe.
“The book might he divided into three
divisions,” said Professor Bates, ‘'one
third satire, one-third exhortation, and
the rest purely narrative.”
Professor Bates has also written a
patriotic poem, “The Voice of America,”
which wiill appear in an early issue of
M.unsey's Magazine.
FROSH FIVE GET G1E
Leave Saturday to Battle Fast
Roseburg High Team.
Jacobbersrer Coaching1 Team;
Nine Who Played Rooks
to Make Trip.
On Saturday afternoon the freshman
basketball team will journey to Hoseburg
to meet the fast Uosebnrg high team.
Orndtiate-Manager A. It. Tiffany heard
from the southern city yesterday after
noon, to the effect, that the contest was
satisfactory to them.
As has been the case with the Varsity,
the freshman team has been greatly
handicapped because of the absence of
1 Coach Waller. However, after this
week, ehanees should take a big leap,
as Walker returns to Eugene on Fri
day morning to take up '"is labors with
the rirst year men.
Th? same five that lost twice to the
Aggie rooks last week-end has been
practicing together during the present
week. The frosh were disappointed in
losing to the Corvallis aggregation, and
are prneth ing with renewed vigor in or
der to down the Hooks on the 22nd and
23rd of this month, in the games pre
liminary to the first team contests.
Until Walker returns on Saturday.
Francis Jneobberger will have charge
of the babes.
Walker will probably take the same
nine men that journeyed to Corvallis
on the trip to Hoseburg on Saturday.

101 VARSITY FIR
Back to Help Team Otherwisf
Without Coach; Walker to
Leave American Lake
Saturday.
Comfort Also Here; Men Wil
Go to Cantonment for
Next Course.
Fear in? that his basketball tean
wonld suffer without the services of £
coach, Bill Ha.vward returned to Eugeni
this morning. The coach brought Charles
Comfort with him. Bill and Comfort lefi
for Camp Lewis Monday, and it was
Bill's understanding that Dean Walkei
would return to college the same day
thus having a coach for the team dur
ing his absence.
When he got to Camp Lewis, he fonnc
out that Dean Walker would not leave
until Saturday, so he decided to conn
back immediately. Bill's return wil
likely prove a lifesaver to the Varsity
as little or nothing has been accom
plished since the mentor has been ab
sent
Practice at Top Speed.
The players have practiced every day
but have suffered from lack of instrue
tion. From now on they will be goinj
in top speed for the Washington gamoi
here, which come on the 18th and 19tl
of February. The Varsity ought to givi
the purple-and-gold about all they cat
handle, if comparative scores are an.\
criterion. Washington lost to O. A. C
two games by the score of 19-8, at Seat
tie, and the Varsity lost by slightly
larger scores on the Corvallis floor. Tht
advantage of playing on the home flooi
should offset the small margin in the
scores.
ITie game with Washington State Col
lege has been called off by Graduate
Manager A. R. Tiffany. The w. S. C,
officials wanted a guarantee of .$75 foi
a game here on the 13th of the month
which Tiffany refused to grunt. Thi«
leaves six conference games on the
schedule, four with Washington aud tw
with O. A. C.
May Play Camp Lewis Team.
While Bill was at Camp Lewis, Cap
tain T. .1. Cook, athletic director at thi
camp, asked him if he would play tht
Camp Lewis team when the Varsity
goes north to play Washington on Febru
ary 28 and March 1. Bill replied hi
was willing if a suitable (bite could bt
arranged. Oregon is due to play Mult
nomah. Saturday, March 2. so the only
chance they will get to play the soldiers
would be on Thursday, February 27.
Bill has decided to wait until the open
ing of the next course at American Lake
before leaving college again. lie is fig
uring on staying at the camp after the
Washington games, because the next
class is due to start, on March 3.
Doan Walker will return to the cam
pus Saturday and take charge of the
freshman squad.
MYRTLE MURPHY PASSES AWAY
Word Received Tolls of Death of Sister
of Earl Murphy.
Word has boon received in Eugene
of the death of Miss Myrtle Murphy,
sister of Karl Murphy, formerly news
editor of the Emerald and a member
of the l>olta Thu Delta fraternity. De
tails were larking: tn the word received
here. Murphy left school early in the
present term, and has been working as
a reporter on the Evening Telegram in
Portland. lie had planned to enlist in
some branch of national service on Mon
day of this week, but owing to the death
of bis sister, his plans have been altered
for the present.
Miss Kathryn Hartley, accompanied
by Mrs. John \Y Stanton, left Wednes
day noon for Portland to attend the
funeral. She will return to Eugene Sun
day.
GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB TRIP
IS STILL POSSIBILITY
Plans for Tour Held Up Because of Low
Admission Price at Camp
Lewis.
! The prospects for the University
women’s glee club trip are still shroud
ed with haze. Difficulties have arisen
which have nearly caused the plans for
the trip to be given up, but some ar
rangement may be made within the next
few days that will make the trip pos
. sible.
A rule has been made by the Y. M
C. A. at Camp Lewis which places at
15 cents the price of admission of the
soldiers to any form of entertainment
or amusement. This would make it im
possible for the glee club to present
their program there, as the expenses
incurred would not be covered by this
small admission.
Tb recent trip made by the men’s
glee club resulted in a deficit of ap
proximately SI75, and although the wo
men's club might draw a larger audience,
'yet no chances can bo taken.
The club has appeared at two occa
sions before the students, and it was
well received. The question of a con
cert to be given in Eugene is now being
considered.
BIBLE STUDY IS HIM

local classes in the general movement
of the combined associations, to enroll

Of the .’!00,000 students in the col
leges of America, it is hoped that two
thirds may be enrolled in this work.
The University's quota is to be 533 stu
dents. Oregon Agriculture College was
assigned 1133 members ns its quota, but
it is planning on making it 1200.

lege students how to apply Christian
principles to the problems of the war
and those that will come at its close.
The classes are to be held in the
churches of the city and on the campus.
Those held off the campus will be led
by faculty members or by business men
of Eugene, while the others will be led

upperclassmen.

“The associations realize,” said Clin
ton Thienes, president of the University
Y. M. C. A., yesterday, “that Christian

solve the problems brought on by the
war, and thus they have originated this
plan.”
