intercollegiate Contests will P*nend Upon Success on Campus. LEAGUE TO ENFORCE PEACE \ MAY BE SUBJECT CHOSEN 'Elimination or Two-Percentage Plan to Determine Winners. The executive hoard of the student council gave its hearty support to the intra-mural program for men and wo men’s debate when it met yesterday at 1 o’clock. After voicing its approval, the committee put the whole matter up to the discretion of Robert \V. Treseott, professor of public speaking and ex-of ficio member of the forensic council. The board also decided to hold in abeyance the matter of intercollegiate debate until it was seen just how successfully the doughnut league was supported. (This policy regarding varsity debate was adopted because it was thought that the question of financing inter-collegi ate debate could be better considered at a later date. The executive council fa vored an O- A. C'. debate, however, and it is practically assured that Oregon will challenge the Corvallis institution. To Complete Plans Tonight Professor Prescott will meet Herman; Lind, head of men’s debate on the cam pus, and the representatives from the men’s houses at 7:30 this evening at his room in Johnson hall to discuss the prob lem of a question and a schedule. It is thought that the question will involve some phage of the peace league situation. As for the schedule, two systems have been suggested and will be brought up tonight. These systems are a tri-per centage schedule and an elimination schedule. Both the executive board and Profes sor Preseeott agree in favor of the tri percentage plan. Which has been used on the campus before in intra-mural de bating. They approve of this because it gives the house teams a greater chance for experience in debate, whereas in the case of the elimination plan one debate for each house would decide whether it pould go out for the final championship competition- In the case of the nine fraternities on the campus, they would be. according to the elimination theory, divided into groups of three. The three members of each group would go against each other, and the victorious team from each group would meet the winners in the groups for the finals. This would give only one debate to six of the- men’s {louses and two to the others. Women's Work Similar It is thought that whatever decision Ts made tonight regarding the schedule for the mc-n will also be adopted by the ivomen. TliPy also expect to use prac tically the same question so that it will be possible for the champion women’s team to go out against the champion mien’s team. These stops have been ta ken by the women because there has never been any kind of inter-sorority debate on the nempus and it is thought that since the men have had more ex-- j perience along this line that they would be better judges of the matter. NEW HEAD FOR FRESHMEN H«my Cox of Portland Elected to Suc ceed Harold Baker. At a meeting of the freshman class yesterday afternoon. Itemy Cox, of Portland, n graduate of Washington high schodt, was elected president of the class to succeed Harold Baker, who did not return Plans for the freshman glee, which is scheduled for February 15, and an un derclass mix were discussed.

January 19, it will be given Sundae -w JM* Mix Plans Mixed; May Be Unscrambled In Time for Event There is the possibility of :vn under cl.'iss mil. but plans are still up in the air and nothing definite has been decid ed. The juniors, sophomores, freshmen end Dean Straub are the four ingredients for a mix, and so far they hare not got ten together. In the freshman class meeting yester day afternoon, Dean Straub spoke in fa vor of the mix. and suggested Satur day, January 25, as a good day for it. The new president was instructed to ap point a committee to represent the class. The junior class is in favor of hold ing the mix. but it is not certain as to the best time for having it- There is considerable sentiment about the campus for having the mix postponed until spring. It is argued that the field is far too muddy to have a good mix this time of the year, and that it would be better to wait until the rainy season is over. The dean is in favor of this plan also, and expressed himself as being entirely willing to have it postponed. He says that if it is held now, the girls will not participate as in former years, with various decorations and stunts. There will probably be a meeting of the class representatives in the next few days. When definite action will he decid ed upon. Mention of the mix recalls some of the stunts of former years. Greasing the pole from which the freshmen were at tempting to haul the flag, used to be a favorite stunt. One of the best, however, took place a few years ago, when one of the classes hid several sandbags behind the grand stand. Then while the other side was la boriously stealing their pile of bags, they easily replaced them from their, unlim ited supply SHY TO PICK FDOSK OSSIP FIVE Team May be Formed by End of Week; Games with 0. A. C. Feb. 14, March 1. The frosh basket tossers are beginning to get into shape and a number of good men are out. according to Shy. who is putting them through stiff practices every night. The following men have been put on the squad: Beller, Mqore, K. Moore, Veatch, forwards; Vincent Ja eobberger. Tuerek, Buren. Lorenz, Bon ney, guards; Latham, Dudley, center; Callison, either center or guard.* Some of these men are showing ability and they bid fair to make a name for the freshmen team of 1919. Roy Veatch, a candidate for the guard position, showed up very well the few nights he was out for practice. lie is fast on the floor and is a good shot., Roy had several years’ experience on the Eugene high school team and has a chance for the frosh quintet. Shy expects to have a team pick ed by the end of the week. Dean Walker has arranged games for the freshmen with the O. A. C. rooks February 14 and March 1. and expects to schedule a game with Chemawa very soon. Since many of the men on the team are just out of high school they will be allowed to assist in getting games with some of the larger high schools, if it can be arranged in this way. Mr. Walker says the frosh team will play as many games as can be scheduled. SONG FEST HELD BY Y. W Mrs. William Moll Case in Charge; Discusses Hymn Writing. A songust followed by a social hour was the order of the meeting held by the Y. W. C- A. on Wednesday at the Bun galow. Mrs. William Moll Case, who was in charge of the meeting, told of the value of singing and all forms of mu sic as a part of worship. She also gave a discussion on hymn-making, tracing the process from the time when pslama, now used as the substance of our hymns, were chanted in psalm form. “God Is Working His Purpose Out” and “Hymn of Bights" were two of the songs learned during the meeting. Mrs Case also sang three of her favorite songs. Other special music was sup pltedoby Jessie McCord, who sang with Patty French at the piano. Jean Mc Kenzie was accompanist dwring the song-fes** FIJIS, DELTA THUS.

The Delta Tau Delta—Sigma Chi contest was the best game of the evening being won by the Delts by the score of 11 to 4. The Oregon Club ran up 13 points to the 11 scored by the A. T. O.’s. L'nder the direction of Bill Hayward the games were cleaner than in previous years. The Delta Tail team appears to be made up of aces in the basketball world, and they played some foxy basketball last night. They hnd a, hard team to handle in the Sigma Chi aggregation, and they put up a hard fight. There was no loafing on the job by either team, and from the time that Iteferee Bill Hayward tossed the ball into the air starting the game until the final whistle was blown the two teams battled merrily. The work of the Madden brothers in handling “Dinty” Moore and Mark Han na, forwards for the Sigma Chi quintet, was a thing of beauty, and only two bas kets were tossed by the Sigma Chi team made by Moore and Breed. Both Centers Lengthy. In the center of the ring both teams presented a species of elongated human ity that is hard to beat. The Sigma Chi's introduced Ben Breed, while the Delts trotted out Askey, who looks to be the class of the league. Askey played on (ho University of Puget Sound last, year and is sure a basketball player. Kelly Brnnstetter and Mort Brown en tertained Cres Maddoek and “Fat” Blake rather informally and they had some time. “Hippo ” Maddoek and Blake are about the biggest things along the line of guards that adorn the Doughnut lea gue, counting out Carl Mautz and “Wal rus” Dresser. Maddoek and Blake started playing games witli the Dolts forwards and got rather rough and were bumped by Hayward. Askey scored fi of the Delts points and Mort Brown rang in the others with a field basket and three fouls. In the sec ond half. Brown had a chance to toss (Continued from page three) DWIGHT PARR ON CAMPUS Track and Soccer Man to Return After Discharge from Army. Lieutenant Dwight Tarr, a member of the class of 1020. returned to the campus Wednesday to renew old acquaintances. Parr was commissioned us a second lieu tenant at the Presidio and was sent to Camp Zachary Taylor for artillery train ing. He believes that Taylor was the hardest training camp in the United States. Parr says he is certainly glad to get back to Oregon. He is not discharged but expects to be released soon and will then enter the University. He will con tinue his work in law under Dean Hope. Parr was a promim-nt track man. If.' was on the varsity team last year and the freshman team in his first year. He was also a soccer player of considerable abil ity having played 0n the Varsity team in his sophomore year. In track he will be considerable aid to Hill Hayward’s team this year, in the mile and two-mile events. While here Parr is staying at the Delta Tau Delta house of which fraternity he is a member.

Margaret Mansfield, of Portland, was elected vice president! of the junior class yesterday afternoon to succeed Gladys Smith, who did not return to the Uni versity this term. The class decided to have the usual snap shots for the induvidw-al pictures o'f juniors in the Oregon a this year. A committee of Grace liammerstroru, Mor ris Morgan and Louise Davis was ap pointed to assist Dorothy Dtmiway, chairman, in arranging the taking of pic tures of the junior class members. After repeated calls from a small group of men in the back of the room, who chanted “we want a party,” the class decided to give a party of some kind, probably a lottery dance, arrange ments to be made by the following com mittee: Delilah Smith, chairman; Mor timer Brown, Herman Lind and Douglas Mw'larky. Plans are being made for the under class mix by the committee appointed at the first of last term—Ned Folwor, chairman; Lyle McCroskey, Jack Dun dore and Herman Lind. FIRST GYM WORK TUESDAY Cuts to bo Giron All Men Not Reporting then, Says Walker. All men must sign for gymnasium work between naw and next Tuesday. Dean Walker announced this morning. Cuts will lie given all men not reporting Tues day, when actual work for the term will begin. “There seems to have been some mis understanding of this rule,” Dean Walker said this morning, “hut every man must sign up for class work by Tuesday.” Classes will he conducted this year in a new way, getting away from the old cut and dried fashion of floor work. After roll call the hoys will be put through setting-up exercises and will then start on competitive games, which, Dean Wal ker says, give a chance for both mental and physical activity. Seasonable games will be played throughout the two re maining terms of the college year. All underclassmen, except those phy sically disqualified, must take the re quired two hours of gymnasium work a week. OLD TRACK STAR RETURNS - Verne Windnagle Back in Portland After Flying In Italy. Lieutenant Verne Windnagle. well known University of Oregon track man of several years ago, returned to Port land yesterday from Italy. Windnagle held a commission in the aviation and had been stationed in Italy for some time. After having disturbed several local records >n the mile event, Windnagle went to Cornell, where he developed into one of the heat men they had on the cinder patu. lie graduated from Cornell last spring. Doughnut League's Training Rules Have Some Queer Angles Houghnut Con true basketball lias de veloped some qmeer methods of train •jig. Almost every house practically has a different system, while taken together, they are nothing if not unique. In one of the fraternities, there is a rule that no player is to smoke for eight hours before a game. Just what good this sudden cessation of the manly art will do, is not made dear. Another house feels it imperative that no dessert shall be eaten by the participants just before a game, so their portion goes to the rule makers. Still another house has a list of things which are taboo the day of a game. This list includes short-thicks, banana spe cials, sundaes, dopes, etc. “Cokes” are left on the list of tlroigs nllowed.There was an attempt to make them forbidden, but. tli(> sentiment among the players was too strong to the contrary. Although it seems strange, there is no record of any rule compelling the ath letes to retire early. Somehow this seems to have been regarded as trivial and unimportant, and the do ogham t leaguers are left to themselves in this respect. It is said that one of the teams is going to protest one of the recently played games. They claim that one of the opposing players had not shaved for a week, and that it was impossible to get near his face without danger of mu tilation. TEGAfiT AW SNYDER RETURN TO EUGENE Old Football Stars Eager to Don Moleskins Again for Lemon-Yellow. Lloyd Toga ft, ensign in the United States navy, and Lieutenant Bill Sny der returned to Eugene early this week, having received their discharge papers from the service. Tegart enrolled in school yesterday and will finish his course in the school of commerce this Jaune, During the two years that he served in the navy, Tegart was on the Atlantic seaboard most of the time and made five trips across the ocean on the United States steamer Von Stuhen, which Inis been used ns a convoy for transports. During one of the trips across one of the transports in the convoy caught fire and the men were rescued by the Von Stuhen. Among those who came over the rail of the ill-fated ship was Until Sprague, an. old University stu dent. Tegart tan across Johnny Beckett'and Elmer Hall, former football stars, now officers in the marines, during his time in the service- Tegart says that it is fine to get back to school, but lip wishes that more of the old gang were back. Bill Snyder does not. intend to enter school this term, as he has a position as clerk in the legislature at Salem. Snyder will he back next fall to finish his course and hopes to he able to play j football. Snyder spent some time at the hospital at Damp Jackson, where he was stationed, and was forced to undergo an operation for pneumonia, having part of a rib removed. Both Snyder and Tegart were mem bers of the Oregon football* team of 1916, and are anxious to again don the mole-skin for the lemon-yellow. Sny der’s operation may make it impossible for hitn to play much football, but he hopes to be in shape by the time the call is issued next fall.

SEES SPECTACULAR RAID OF 60 PLANES ON PARIS Many Humorous Stories of War, Related; American Women Fine Workers. “We have got to bo bigger citizens and better citizens or the boys in Franca have died in vain and wo are falling down. They have died for us and wo must live for them,” was the message of Fred Loekle.v, the “Journal Man Abroad,” and a returned Y. M. C. A. secretary, in his talk entitled “Over Iloro and Over There" before the students of the Uni versity at the assembly yesterday morn ing. "It is up to us to make the city of Eugene and the state of Oregon a better place to live—a place of more equalized opportunities or the great loss of life suffered by the United States will be without reward. Our boys have shown courage, unfailing courage, and hnve tak en a long stop toward breaking down ra cial antipathies and religious animosities The war 1ms wiped out social barriors. New Aristocracy of Service. "The old order has changed. We are now living in an aristocracy of service not of wealth. 'The best workers In the canteens of Uordenux were the daugh ters of America’s best families. Helen Astor and Ethel Ilarriman served their country by standing over a range cooking for the soldiers. Mrs. Theodore Roose velt Jr., worked harder in France than most of 11s work at home. The English women are operating the munitions fac tories. Mr. Loekley cited one instance where an English woman was on her knees scrubbing the floor of a Y. M. C. A. hut when an officer entered. She nskml him to get her a pail of clean water, lie refused, saying that he was an officer. She answered, ‘Officer, 1 am a duchess.’ He got the water. One man who was spoken of ns a “queer guy” hut who was “all there when it came to delivering the goods” was found to lie the professor of Oriental Languages at one of our eastern univer* sities. oivy n aiu ofimiaumui . Mr. Lockley told ninny of his export rnoos nt Hip front and in different pn ■(( of France. The most spectacular thinf, he saw while overseas was a night air raid on Paris. It was eleven-lhirty on the night of .lanuary lilt when the signal was sounded that an air raid was taking place, lie was amazed to see sixty or more planes over the dark city and the sight immediately reminded him of the fire works on the Fourth of duly. The ma chine guns were shooting halls of fire out •into the clear starlit sky, as plane after plane came down ablaze. Another time that he witnessed an air battle was on the edge of the Argonne forest. The Fnglish patrols were gone and a German air craft attacked four American planes. There was n burst ol gas followed h.v groat sheets of flanio and the American aviators fell with their parachutes. The Germans fired a ma chine gun at the mnnd they struck the ground dead. Germany did not uphold the chivalry of the air. One time the Y. M. C. A. secretary was in n little military city and wss honored by being given a room in the largest house in the place. During the night he was continually disturbed by the falling of shells, and the next morn ing he asked the officer in charge if he hadn't had more than his share of bombs. The officer told him that the Germans knew the place and naturally supposed that there would be officers in the largest house so were anxious to blow it up. Mr. Lockley at once decided that a smaller place would suit him just as well. Sees Oregon Men. Mr. Loekley paid a tribute to the valor and services of the men of the University in France. “There arc about 450 of you fellows here today. Well, for every one .(Continued on page two)
