i said and 13th has been leased by the
; University and is now occupied by the
University band. However w Jth the
demobilization of the S. A. T. C- the
lease will probably expire and the mem
bers of that fraternity hope to get in
to their house by the first of the new
year. Fourteen men. including eleven
plegdes, will try and hold down a house
j built for twice their number. Sjjeven
members who are now in the naval

here.
The 12-room house on 11th Street,
owned by the Delta Tan Delta frater

streets as fast as they are discharged.
Five of last year’s members and eleven
pledges will move from the S. A. T. C.
barracks directly into the house, and be

Robinson and Lloyd Still will probably
return.
Some of th ■ furniture belonging to the
v in’s houses has been in use in the wo
men’s fraternity houses while the men’s
quarters have been used as barracks, and
the girls regret the giving up of some of
it. The popular game will be “furniture,
furniture, who has the furniture,” at the
beginning of the vein-.
MISS FilCS SPEAKER
FOB yjjMEETING
Recently Home From France
With Material for Book
on Women’s Work.
Miss Louise Fitch, head of the de
partment of magazines for the Y. W. C.
A. and national president of the Delta
Delta Delta fraternity, who returned
from France six weeks ago where she
was sent by the Yr. W. C. A., will be the
i speaker at the Y. W. C. A. meeting Wed
nesday afternoon at 5 o’clock in the Bun
galow.
Miss Fitch arrived in Eugene last night
from the south where she was one of the
speakers for the United War Work cam
paign. She wa$ sent to France about a
year ago to investigate the condition of
the women of that country for the pur
pose of bringing this knowledge back to
the LTnited States. Her book, “Madame
France, Warrior,” will be off the press in
about a month. It is being published by
the Women’s Tress of New York, a bu
reau of the national Y. W. C. A.
Industrial Centers Visited.
While gathering material for her bonk
Miss Fitch visited about 25 industrial
centers of France. She witnessed many
air raids, and at one time on account of
them, helped to take several hundred
children from Paris to southern France.
When the Germans entered Chateau
Thierry on the night of May 30, Miss
Fitch said that she had a bit of excite
ment. as she was helping care for the
refugees in a canteen there.
Miss Fitch went overseas last spring
along with a party of which Miss Eliza
beth Fox, former dean of women at the
University, now on leave of absence, was
a member. She saw Miss Fox in Tours
last summer, just as the latter was
cleaning up her rest hotel in preparation
for a family of "hello girls” who were
to arrive.
She also met Dr. Bertha Stuart, for
merly head of the gymnasium work for j
women here, at Biois where she is su
pervising the regulation of a child hos
pital. She also met Colin V. Dyment, pro
fessor of journalism at the University a
few years ago, and DeWitt Gilbert, ex
’18, whom she chanced to meet at the Y.
W. C. A. hotel in Paris. Miss Fitch also
came upon several other Oregon people
who were anxious to see an American
woman and even more glad when they
discovered that Miss Fitch knew a num
ber of people here at the University.
“They sent all kinds of messages back i
with me, but since I had no idea of com- |
icg here I have forgotten them mostly,”
she said.
Miss Lee to Sing.
The subject of Miss Fitch's talk to
morrow' afternoon •.ill be her associa
tion work overseas and the war condi
tions of women over there. It is expect- 1
(Ml that the Bungalow will be crowded
to overflowing with student listeners ns
there are no classes at the hour of meet
ing. Another offering of the afternoon
will be a solo-by Miss Eleanor Lee. in
structor in the school of music. Joy Jen
kins. chairman of the meetings commit
tee. the Y. tY. C. A., will preside at the
meeting.
Miss Fitch is known on the University
campus, as she was for a time chaperon
of the Delta Delta Delta fraternity.
While in Eugene she will be the guest
of Miss Mary Perkius, professor of rhe
toric, and American literature.
Although she arrived just last night,
she has been scheduled to speak at sev
eral meetings in the city.
She will spend the week-end at O. A.
C., where she expects to install a chap
ter of Delta Delta Delta and later she
will install a chapter at Washington
State college.
The Wednesday meeting hour of the
Y. W. C. A. announced for this week
is the new hour set for the regular asso
ciation meetings each week, according to
Miss Tirzn Dinsdale. general secretary
of the campus Y. W. 0. A. There are no
scheduled classes at this hour and for
that: reason it was chosen in preference
to the former time which was Thursday
at 4 p. m.
i Fighting Eleven Wrests
Victory From Washington
“They brought homo tho bacon.”
This can be applied to Ihe Oregon team
in their journey into the northlaud, where
they met and subdued tho representa
tives of the University of Washington,
Coach Hunt and First Assistant Tony
Savage. The score of the festivity in Se
attle last Saturday was 7 to 0, with Ore
gon holding the 7.
The Washington team was no easy one
to heat and they had a lot of the old
“jazz” that makes the wheels move. In
Eckmnn the northern university has a
wonderful player. TUs work in a broken
field is great and he is a wiz at run
ning back punts.
Team Loses Trunks.
Tho big misfortune of the day was the
failure of the Oregon suits to appear in
Seattle. One of Mr. McAdoo’s assistants;
who have been running the railroads for
the past year or so, pulled a boner and
forgot to ship the Oregon trunks from
the North Hank station in Portland
where the team disembarked from the O.
E., over to the Union station, where the
Seattle train starts.
The team was finally aide to beg and
borrow enough wearing apparel from
the Naval Training station to get going.
Pat O’Rourke had a suit that, was built
for someone about Eddie Durno’s size.
Mautz had a beautiful time getting any
thing to fit, and when he came out on
the field he looked like one of the side
show attractions to be seen in the erieus.
Touchdown Second Quarter.
Oregon scored her touchdown in the
second qunrter when after the baekfield
had plowed through the 'Washington line
for about thirty yards, due iu no small
measure to the wonderful playing of
Brandcnberg, Francis Jacobberger took
the pigskin over the last lime line for
the first and only counter of the game.
V. Jacobberger converted.
The outstanding feature of the entire
game was the work of the Oregon backs,
especially Brandcnberg, while Y. Jacob
berger made some nice gains along with
his brother, and Blake, iu the two
chances he had to carry the oval, ad
vanced it each time. Brandcnberg appears

a certainty for a half hack position on the
all-North west eleven.
Oregon Una Strong.
The Oregon line worked in fine shape
in the game last week-end. Callison play
ed a steady game, and Mautr. and Hard
ing surely did their part. O'Rourke ami
Trowbridge, who are about the class of
the northwest when it conies to tackles,
played thetv usual brilliant game. How
ard and Wilson were there with hells. .
Those who saw the game in California, j
and the Seattle contest say that Howard
played a much hotter game against Wash
ington than he played in Berkeley the
week before.
The Washington team has three or
four good men among its members. Eck
rann, Corrigan, Place and Walker were
all good. The men have not played to
gether enough to make a perfect machine
hut they surely showed promise. In the
last period they weakened somewhat, and
the consistent hammering of the Ore
gon team put the ball on the Washington
ene-yard line. The whistle saved another
score.
