NOT SO UNREASONABLE AT THAT.
Are the women of the University getting a perfectly square
fleal? Are they and their activities securing the support of the
student body in proportion to the support, moral and financial,
that they are asked to give the major activities on the campus?
To open an extensive argument of these questions would be
but uncorking a store of reasoning, which, while sound enough
from a theoretical standpoint, would not be practical in the face
of existing conditions. But the girls are not unreasonable. They
would not seek to cripple the conduct of major activities of the
University by demanding that more attention be paid their
activities than conditions justify. Yet, they have just cause for
grievance in that their contests and their competitive organ
izations do not receive the support that they should.
We have a striking instance of the attitude of the student
body as a whole to the women’s activities in the basketball game
their team is to play with 0. A. C. co-eds this week-end. It is an
inter-collegiate contest, just as much so as were any of the men’s
varsity games. It is a sale bet, however, that not Jifty per cent
of the students on the campus can tell whether the game is to be
be played in Eugene or Corvallis, whether it is to be played on
Friday or Saturday. Among the University men there is prob
ably not more than ten per cent that have any idea of the prob
able outcome of the game, or that have the slightest idea who is
playing on the Oregon team.
There is no doubt but that the women themselves are large
ly to blame for the lack of interest shown, for even such a con
test as the Aggie game does not appear to awaken their interest
in their own varsity organization to any great extent. They
will, of course, feel gratified if Oregon wins, but it is not likely
that there will be any keen disappointment, except among the
few who take an active interest in the game, if we lose.
If the women back their own teams it is in a particularly
quiet manner—their attitude is in doubt. But there is no doubt
connected with the assertion that the men do not lend even the
moral support to women’s activities that they expect the girls
to give theirs. Perhaps, after all, the women have grounds for
just a little bit of a complaint. There is not a great deal that
Oregon girls do not know about the men’s teams that represent
their Alma Mater. Most of thef are interested enough to find
out who is playing on the men’s teams and know when and where
the big games are to be played.
ADMISSION TO 0. A. C.
GAMES FREE TO GUESTS
Fifty Cents Will He Charged for Wash
ington Track Meet at Junior
Week-End.
The decision to admit all junior week
end giiCBts free of charge to the two

week end, but to charge 50 cents ad
mission for the track meet with the
ITiiversity of Washington, was made
.yesterday at the meeting of the joint
student council l’an Hellenic committee.
“Student body finances are breaking
just about even now," said Jimmy
Sheehy yesterday, “and we can’t afford
to do anything that will put us in the
hole at junior week-end." The matter
of free admission of guests to the senior
play will he decided upon at the meet
ing of the senior class tomorrow.
The l’an Hellenic committee, consist
ing of Gladys Wilkins, Kliraheth ('ar
son. and l.urliue lirowu. will report at

lenic, to he held nex: Tuesday, when
F‘nn-1 lellmie will decide whether the
sororities will have special guests at
junior week-end.
The special meeting of the etmbut
council announced for Wednesday aft
ernoon. will not be necessary. President

A committee for general membership
was chosen, to find who is eligihle, and

(Continued from page one)
the score 22-21 in favor of Washington,
and less than 30 seconds to play, Guard
Bill Steers rushed madly from one end
of the floor to the other and, receiving
a pass from out of bounds, dropped the
ball in the basket for'the final score,
making Oregon the winner.
In the second contest, the Washington
quintet came back- strong, and piled up
a total in the first half which could
not be overcome. The Varsity five
fought harder than ever during the sec
ond period, but the northerners, by very
close guarding, were able to keep Hay
ward’s m«i from scoring any great num
ber of points. The final score stood
33-16, with Washington on the long end.
Multnomah Downs Oregon.
Tired and worn from the strain of
travel and the two previous contests,
the Varsity five met the Multnomah five
in Portland on Saturday evening. The
clubmen proved to be too fast and clever
for the five, and the score mounted to
60 to 19 before the final whistle was
sounded. However, no lack of the old
Oregon spirit was noticeable at any time
during the contest, and although it was
a severe defeat, it was an honorable
one.
Five men succeeded in winning the
official “O" during the season just
dosed. The five are Ned Fowler, Bill
Steers, Dow Wilson, “Dot” Medley, and
“Clruck” Comfort. Each of these men
played at least ten full halves, which is
the University requirement in basket
ball.
Oregon Fight Commondable.
The spirit of the entire student body
this year certainly warranted the con
tinuing of the winter sport in the future.
At each contest a large and apprecia
tive audience was present, and a great
deal of Oregon fight was shown in the
bleachers as well as on the floor.
Prospects should be much better next
year, unless the war interferes with the
present situation. At present, five of
this year’s Varsity squad are planning
on returning in the fall to represent the
University again in the indoor sport, and
almost every man of the freshman squad
this year is also figuring on answeiing
the call after the football season next
year, so a great deal of competition
should be shown for the five regular
berths on the Varsity team.
Because of the prolonged illness of
Coach Bill Hayward, Assistant Coach
Dean Walker accompanied the Varsity
squad to Seattle. The men who were
with Walker were Manager Herschner,
Comfort. Fowler, Medley, Steers, Wil
son, Lind. Morrison, ami Parsons. The
men returned to the campus on Sunday.
