Professor Rweetsor returned Tuesday
evening from a throe days’ trip to the
Siuslaw country, where he found the
finest specimens of moss he has seen '
anywhere. The moss in bogs between i
Acme and Florence he considers excep
tionally good. lie got the Boy Scouts
and the school children interested in col
lecting the moss and they filled 40 sacks
which, when the moss has been prop
erly died, will be sent to the Ited Cross
headquarters in Eugene. There is a little
of the moss at the Eugene chapter now,
and Professor Swcetser thinks that by
the time the materials for making the
pads and dressings have arrived from the
cast, which will be about 10 days, that
everything will be ready for work.
Orouon’s Sharo 500,000 Pads.
An instructor in the making of pads
will come from the University of Wash
ington when the materials have arrived
in Oregon. She will visit the larger aux
iliaries in Oregon, where the pads will
be made. The Red Cross has assigned to
Oregon and Washington the making of
half a million pads. Professor Swcetser
thinks that Oregon can fill her quota
easily if the prospects of a supply of
moss from different parts of Oregon
materialize.
Professor Swcetser will take a trip
through the Tillamook country this week
end. where he expects to find good moss,
judging from excellent samples he lots
received from Rocknway Reach, Tilla
mook and other places along the coast.
"Two things are to be considered,” says
Professor Sweetser, “accessibility and
quantity.” The supply at Eioreuee ful
fills both these conditions.”

Order of O Bouncer Stolen
From Varsity Room
Suspects Have Left Campus Is Be

Paddle Secured.
The Order of the O bouncer has been
stolen! It isn’t there in its customary
place in the Varsity room—an unworthy
substitute is padlocked to the post in
Its stead, but beware of the paddle!
A week ago today two ordnance men
who had unwittingly set foot in the Var
sity room tasted of the smart reproof
said paddle can give when wielded by the
worthy hands of “O” men. This happen
ed just before the boys went to Corval
lis for the game.
Monday, while in the varsity room,
men of the Order of the O found to
their indignation and consternation that
the paddle was gone and a smaller,
wholly inadequate one was in its place.
Since then detectives have been out.
So far no dues have appeared, but
the chief of the detective squad says
that suspicion points its finger towards
the departed ordnance men.
“We hope the men who received tit?
spats last Thursday took it in the right
spirit,’’ said Walter Grebe. “Tkere’3
going to be another paddle there in a
couple of days. If anyone wishes to
take a chance at the room while the
paddle is missing, let him come, but the
new paddle will be us efficient and carry
as much weight as the old one, in fact,
1 think it will bn a bit better.”
.So beware the Order of the O paddle.

[■ The Phi Delta Theta team took the
second game of the doughnut baseball
series from the A. T. O. representatives
Tuesday afternoon, the score being 9
to 3 at the end of four innings. The
game was scheduled for five innings but
owing to the fact that several of the
'players wanted to get a chance to look
Bill Hart over, it was agreed to suspend
I'hostility at the end of the fourth frame,
j The game in itself was tip to the
j standard of the league and the playing
in the field was pretty good in spots,
the only trouble being that the spots
were few and far between, lid Durno
pitching for the Phi Delts had good con
trol and a nice assortment of freak
halls that foiled the A. T. O. sluggers
in three of the four innings.
In the third inning Don Osman, of
the A. T. O.’s met one on its way in
and gave it a ride to the tenuis courts.
The hit went for a homer and scored
Madden and Motschenbaelier ahead of
him. Strachan and Durno also hit cir
cuit clots during the evening perform
ance. Each of the last mentioned gath
ered three runs which was enough to
win the game in itself.
Credit must be given for the form
shown by “Scotty" Strachan behind the
plate and “Bib” Carl for his work on
the short patch. Smith for the A. T.
O.’s showed up in pretty fair shape hut
he worked too fast to be effective.
Oxman was the steller light of the los
ers infield getting everything that hap
pened his way.
