PHONES Manager 177-J News and Editorial Rooms 655 Editor 841 8usinesss Office 1200 GO GET ’EM OREGON. Fighting like furry from first whistle to the last; the Var sity basketball team last night won its first victory in two years; ; really the first in four years, for during the 1915-16 seasons the lerpon-yellow put no teams on the floor. Never was a stronger example of what Oregon Fight can do *shown than in the game of last night. Pure determination to win, both on the part of the team and by the crowd of students who filled the bleachers, carried Coach Hayward’s men to vic tory over the purple and gold. Judged from the standpoint of technical basketball, the game put up by both teams might have been ragged, but no loyal Oregon student could have watched the game—even though we had lost—without feeling that we were once more coming into our own. Even before the first whistle called the men onto the floor and the rooters saw their own team in action, everyone in the hall sensed the fact that Oregon would spring the promised sur prise. The crash of the band, the yells and whistles that echoed back and forth, every sound seemed to interpret itself into the words, “We’ll win, We’ll win, We’ll win.” The team took the floor charged with that spirit and for the second time this year the fight came back. This time it is back to stay. Tonight is going to ses> it again, Friday and Saturday nights the Aggies are going to face the “old fight” that has ever been their Waterloo in years gone by and, whether on the long or the short end of the score, Oregon will be Ivinner. Last night the bleachers were full. But there were ragged gaps which should have been filled with howling fighters for Oregon in other parts of the hall. In the balcony there was room for three times as many girls as weer there and there are ten times as many women in the University as put in an appearance at the game last night. Tonight we go again. The Oregon Fight is alive—Let’s keep it alive and working, every man and woman of us. Go get ’em Oregon—We’re with you.

Arvo Simula, 115-pound wrestler on the I'niversity squad, when in Seattle i last Friday with Oregon’s grapplers, who were scheduled to meet Washing ton’s team that night, picked up the ■Seattle l’ost Intelligencer and on the sporting page read that it was quite a coincidence that Arvo Simula, Jap wrestler for Oregon, would meet Masui, Washington’s 115-pound Japanese wrest ler, on the mat that evening. A copy of the Stanford directory of students enrolled for the winter term 1917 191S contains 1709 names, which includes all regular, special and grad uate students. Last year 21S5 students were enrolled. The spring 191S issue of officers and students contains 4010 j names of students enrolled iu the col-1 leges at Berkeley, ns compared to 50S4 names appearing in the 1917 issue.— j Daily Californian j Seventy-five women students at Co lumbia school of dentistry have offered j to serve as deutiats for army re eruits.

Wilson Wins, But Gray Is Beat en by Cleverest Grappler On Northern Team. With but three weeks remaining be fore the wrestling meet with O. A. 0., the Varsity wrestling team which lost to Washington three matches to two, returned to college Sunday and imme diately settled down to another period of training. All of the men came through their matches in good shape ex cept Si Simola, was was forced to for feit his bout on account of a strained ligament in his arm. Conch Ed Shockley expressed himself as satisfied with the results of the meet. .“We would have had a draw at least,” said Shockley, "if Si had been able to continue. He was giving the Japanese all he could handle when he had to quit. I’m not making any promises about O. A. C. Wait until March 8 and I’ll tell you who will win.” All of the men praised the treatment accorded them at the northern institu tion. und reported a fine trip. New Scoring Used. Washington introduced a now one in 1 scoring the meet. According to the purple and gold dopesters, a fall coun ed five points, a”:l a decision three. Figur ing it this way. Oregon lost 31-14. Simola obtained a draw in his first go with Masui, but when the time came for the next round, he was unable to raise his arm. Consequently Masui was credited with two fulls, good for ten points. Claude Hill struck a veteran man in Ginson and lost in two straight falls, both by head scissors. Dwight Wilson lost the first decision to his opponent, Selliek, but came back strong and won the next two. An in stance of how the Washington rule works wifh shown here. Although Wil son won his match, he received six points, while Selliek scored three for Washington. A team could win three decisions on points, lost two on galls, and lose the match. Selliek has played in hard luck. He has made the team for four years, and yet has failed to win a conference match and get a letter. Gray Meets Cleverest Man. Captain Harold Grey met the clever est wrestler Washington lin'd, according to Shockley, in Captain McGovern. Mc Govern won the first bout on a fall and the second on a decision. George Tay lor had an easy time with his opponent, Foreman. Taylor outweighed him about ten pounds, aud gained one fall and one decision. Washington wrestles O A. C. at Cor vallis Friday night, nnd so a comparison can be made on the comparative show ing of Oregon and O. A. C. against Washington. Iattle is known of the strength of the O. A. C. team, ns they have had no matches so far this year. BATTALION FLAG IS FINISHED Fifty Girls Work to Complete Standard for Presentation Wednesday. The battalion finer, which is nearing completion, will be finished by midnight Tuesday. Even if the girls have to work until that hour, it will bo finished, according to Gladys Wilkins, chairman of the committee in charge of the mak ing of the flag. The work on the flag had not progressed very rapidly during the past three and a half weeks, so that it was found necessary by the committee to send out a call for help to the wo men of the University in order that it might he finished for presentation to the battalion Wednesday, as planned. Since that time about 50 girls have worked on the flag. A schedule posted in front of the library was filled out by the girls, who have spent their spare time embroidering. The names of the girls who have worked on the flag will be printed on a piece of parchment and hung in the Architectural building, where it will be kept as a roll of honor. When finished, the flag will measure four by two and one-half feet, and will weigh about five pounds without the staff. The girls working on the com mittee under Miss Wilkins are Elsie Kiumaurice. Roberta Sehuebejb Gladvs Conklin, 'Catherine Twomey, and Jauet Frasier. The committee was appointed f>y Helene DeLauo, president of the wo men's league. The flag will be presented to the bat talion Wednesday by Mrs. George Ger linger and Mrs. A. C. Dixon. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Facuy-Oote. Mr. and Mrs. R. R. Giltnor, of Portland, and Florence Hemonway were Sunday din ner auesta of Meta Theta Pi. FOR PRACTICAL CIVICS Prof. A. N. French Suggests New Way of Teaching. Favors Organization of School Community; Leadership Emphasized. Civics as common sense, not merely a required study, is the aim of Pro fessor A. N. French, of the University high school, in his carefully-worked out system of teaching the subject. Every day applications and examples, such as the election of the “school community” president, which is the same as a state primary election, are used. “Civics, history and geography are pot separate studies,” in the opinion of Professor French, “but different sides of the same thing. We try to correlate them here, and teach them so they can be used in the regular citizen life of a man or a woman.” The first thing is to make a child realize that it is himself he studies about, in the duties of a citizen. When a boy sees that he is learning what he will have to know later on, he is more interested. Develops Community Sense. “We bring him to a realization of a social community, by his participation in the school community,” declares Pro fessor French. “He is part of the group, and votes on its by-laws and constitution, and performs his duties as though he were on the city council or the school board, or any other civic com mittee.” The president of the community and •his officers and cabinet are chosen by vote of the people. The ballot is the same as a state primary ballot; the poll | ing booth and ballot box are identical. | The tellers, clerks and other officials ! proceed under the laws of Oregon. This l familiarizes both girls and boys with the conditions as they will be when they are called on to vote. The value of good leadership and character is emphasized in the nomina tion of candidates. No one is eligible except lie be a good student, well-, behaved, on good terms with the com munity, prompt, dependable, aud some thing of a leader among them. A com mittee of the community meets to de cide on the eligible ones. Responsibility Is Developed. “This system, I find.” says Mr. French, “makes a boy or girl realize his own responsibility in community and civil life, and gives him a greater in terest in civics as a study.” An article by Mr. French in explana tion of his system and its workings, appears in a recent Extension Monitor. *-* I .SOCIETY I Lieutenant Colonel John Leader and Mrs. Leader and Mrs. Daise Becett Mid dleton were Sunday dinner guests of Delta Tan Delta. — Herman Gilfilen T7, spent the week end at the Delta Tan Delta house.

In last night’s contest both Cook and Medley, who opposed him, made two field baskets. Cook had ten free throws on fouls, but converted only five of them. "Washington has a green team; the men haven’t the basketball instinct,” said Coach Hunt, of Washington, last night. The two teams will clash again to night in the University gymnasium. If Oregon fails to keep its present edge on the Washingtonians, and allows Hunt to 1 take the game, the two teams will again be tied for the cellar position in west side division. Lineup of Teams.
