Outplaying the visitors in every de
partment of the game, the Varsity nine
thi safteruoon took their third straight
pre-season victory by defeating the Ghe
ntawa Indians. 10 to 4, on the Cemetery
Kidge diamond.
With Berg and Wilson — the latter
took the mound in the sixth inning —
both pitching airtight ball. Oregon had
little trouble in piling up their six run
margin. While Bittle, the Cliemawa
southpaw, showed up well during the
early frames, his support was poor and
bungles leaked through loth nis infield
and outfield with discouraging regularity.
The manner in which the Varsity clot
ted the ball around, however, was the
most encouraging indication of improve
ment in the nine which is to open the
season against O. A. C., in Corvallis,
next Friday. Rnnquist’s long four-sack
drive was the feature of the willow
weilding, but all of the Lemon Yellow
players took a hand at poking out safe
ones, several pokes being for a plural
number of sacks.

! William H Foulkes, at Villard
Hall, Emphasizes that All
Must ‘Carry On.”
Drop notes of the chord of a new
patriotism were struck last night by
IJ. Wilbur Chapman, moderator of the
General Assembly of the 'Presbyterian

Foulke of 'Philadelphia who accompanied
him, when they spoke last night before
a crowd which filled Villard nearly to
capacity.
The University of Oregon was chosen
as one of the twenty university centers
in America to hear an address by the
highest official of the Presbyterian
church.
Dr. Foulkes, who was formerly a
minister in Portland, spoke first. He
said that if everyone stayed, at home
with the same spirit that the boys
manifest when they go to the front,
there will be no slackers anywhere.
Slicker is Defined.
“A slicker,” he said, “is a slacker
who pretends he isn't one, and is worse
I than a slacker because real patriotism
regulates what we cat, how we live,
how we work and how we play.
‘We are patriotic when we ‘carry ou'
liberty bond and Red Cross drives, and
build up the home, the school and the
church.
I “And we are going to 'carry on’ until
we get ‘Over the Top’ and forever crush
Prussianisin.”

is the Use of Religion?” a question

‘‘Save for a good cause,” was the
slogan adopted unanimously by Univer
sity of Oregon women at a mass meet
ing held yesterday in Villard hall, when
they decided to raise $2500 for a hut
in France or $3000 for an ambulance.
Next Friday they will decide which cause
they will support.
Mrs. Mabel Holmes Parsons, in urging
the women to raise funds declared that
a spirit of self-sacrifice is very neces
sary in the present crisis.
Now Is Time to Save.
‘‘This is a time for doing,” said Mrs.
Parsons. “We women cannot sny ‘I want
this, or that!—wc must give up more
than a lump of sugar in our tea or an
extra slice of bread at dinner. Cannot
we, as Oregon women, decide as a body
to wear lisle hose instead of silk and I
save 75 cents a pair, wear silk gloves in
stead of kid. at a saving of $1.25, and
buy a hat costing $4 less than these we
now wear?
"Is this too much to ask?” she inquir
ed. ‘‘when our men are giving their
lives? Miss Grace Parker, sent to France
by the Women’s National Service League
told in a lecture in Portland recently how
2b,000 English women are doing cleri
cal work in France today, and how
eny number of English gentlewomen who
never worked before are now doing
heavy work for twelve hours every day
in the munition plants. We, as American
women, must awake to the situation and
show that we can and will be of service.
Here is our opportunity to do something

Dean Ehrmann Tells Need
Dean Louise C. Ehrmann, toid of the
great need for huts as nurse’s rest, rooms
in France. "Mrs. Charles Anderson, a
society woman of Los Angeles now in
charge of four hospital dug outs in
France,” said she, “recently wrote me of
the situation which she faces in her hard
duties near the firing line.”
“Tired from the work of enring for
the wounded, the women have no place
in which to rest. A hut provides food,
rest and warmth to these nurses who are
often called upon to care for 4,000
wounded when their equipment provides
for only 3,000. We must co-operate and

Editing Class Plays Mild
Prank on Dean Allen.
Members Consult Gravely, Then
Telegraph Busy Prof Results
of Day’s Assignment.
To liuy or not to buy, that was the
question.
The small, select advisory committee
detailed by Dean Allen to consider the
advisability of his buying '‘The Shipbuild
er Magazine,” became more excited.
“The magazine will tie a success, it
will pay Dean Allen, don’t you think, so
Jimmy?” Emma spoke.
"$750 for that?” Adrienne shot in,
“Anyone could start a better one than
that cheaper, I say, write him to hold
off.”
“But what is the circulation?” Miriam
sandwiched in a wmrd.
“We need eastern advertising,” Gladys
maintained.
“But why eastern?” Bill was not con
vinced.
“I’ll tell you what let’s do,” said Helen
as the class hour drew to a close, “Let’s
-,” and her suggestion met imme
diate applause.
In Corvallis, Dean Allen, surrounded
by military men kind with little thought
of the doings of his Editing cluss in Eu
gene, was handed a telegram. The men
respectfully stopped talking. Mildly sur
prised, the Dean tore open the envelop
and suddenly burst out laughing.
“The rascals,” he said, pocketing the
message.
This is what he read:
“Postpone purchase Shipbuilder until

Location for Proctor Pioneer
Picked Between Friendly
Hall and the >
Library. \
Aim of Sculptor to Portray Real
Spirit of West in
His Work.
A spot on tho campus between the
library and Friendly hall, near the sen
ior bench, urns chosen Thursday by a
committee composed of Mr. nnd Mrs.
Joseph N. Teal, Dean E. F. Lawrence,
Mrs. George T. Gerlinger, Mr. and Mrs.
A. C. Dixon, Prof. A. II. Schroff and
A. Phimister Proctor as the best lo
cation for Proctor’s statue, the “Pio
neer” to be presented to the University
by Mr. Teal.
The monument, which will be a
bronze figure nine and a half feet high,
will probably be erected on the campus
before the end of the term. It will
face the Administration building and
will be under the shelter of a group
of Oregon fir trees.
Mr. Proctor considers the chosen
site a fitting setting for the statue.
"It. is both artistic and central,” he
enid. “The trees are another good
feature.”
The sculptor explained in an adcfress
to the art and architecture student*
Thursday morning that in making the
monument it was his aim to typify the
real spirit of the West.
“I did the work in San Fnanisco m
a studio converted from a huge bam.”,
he said. “After a search for a model,
I found n suitable one in J. C. Cravens,
a trapper. A great deal of the success
of the work depended upon the setting,
and for that reason 1 sought the great
distances. The vastness of the country
is reflected in the eyes of .the pioneer.”
The Oregon campus is the proper
place for the statue, in the opinion of
Mr. Proctor. He believes that it will
be an inspiration to those who see it.
