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

At a meeting of the freshman class
yesterday afternoon. Itemy Cox, of
Portland, n graduate of Washington high
schodt, was elected president of the

not return
Plans for the freshman glee, which is
scheduled for February 15, and an un

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

The Oregon club and Delta Tau l^plta
fives returned victorious in the Dough
nut League contests played Wednesday
evening. 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

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

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.

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

Margaret Mansfield is Vice-prosident;
Class Plans Party.
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,

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

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

and physical activity. Seasonable games

sically disqualified, must take the re
quired two hours of gymnasium work a

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.

“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

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

sities.

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.

Mr. Loekley paid a tribute to the valor
