Robert James Cosgriff, second lieu tenant in the United States army, who left the University last year as a fresh man, has been “wounded,” has been “dec orated,” is not married, nor engaged tor likely to be. nor ever has been ac cording bo Ute answers he made to the nuestionnairc sent him for information publication in the Alumni magazine. “I was wounded in spirit on the day the flet division left for the show and I wag stuck in the depot brigade,” he writes. He explains his decorationss by saving “the deep furrows on my brow are due to worrying because I couldn't get to the war.” Witb regard to experiences, he writes fkat he had two salient experiences, one when he experienced hope to get to the fight when it was on and the second when he experienced an uncontrollable longing to return to the school he loves, now that the “parade is over.” “My sole ambition,” he says, “is to turn to the University in the fall and, stay until I am ready to graduate. I get a little funny feeling when I think about it like I wanted to cry or fight or something. I don’t know what. “I have had a lot of hard things hap p. ■ since i came into the service but in spite of them I hope to return to col- : lege next foil” J Here’s One Dance Which Basketeers Won’t Need to Miss The basketball team is happy. Six girls in college are correspondingly hap py. Why? Because the team will be back for the Freshman Glee Saturday night. The team has been in hard luck as far as dances go, for the entire winter. The schedule has been so arranged that the team has been away for nearly all the dances. They have had to be ab sent from most of the house dances be cause of basketball, and they even had to miss the Sophomore Informal. When the dates for the O. A. C. games at Corvallis and the Freshman Glee were announced, the team moaned in despair. It seemed ns though all luck was against them. They could not even go to the Freshman Glee. Dean Walker sympathized with the players, and told them that he would try to arrange it so that they could both play at Corvallis and attend the dance at Eugene- And it has been done. The second game will be played Saturdny afternoon, and the team will have ample time to catch the 5 o'clock train for home. They may be a little late for the dance, but no difficulty is expected in filling out their programs. ■1IITH1ML GliMES START FEB. 17, Ten Teams Will Play In Two Leagues on Schedule Just Out. ❖ DOUGHNUT HANDBALL ❖ LEAGUE League A League B ❖ Delta Tau Delta Alpha Tail Omega ❖ Oregon Club Sigma Chi ❖ Friendly Hall Kappa Sigma ❖ Sigma Nu Phi Gamma Delta ❖ Beta Theta Pi Phi Delta Theta ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Doughnut handball is tho nest intra mural sport on the calendar.

About sixty girls turned out for the first indoor baseball practice held in the gymnasium Monday at 5 o’clock. More than half of this number were freshmen. I>ast night's practice consisted of pre liminary training in the art of playing baseball, ns to how to throw and catch the ball, how to handle the bat and how to stand while using it. Practice will probably continue for the rest of this term before teams are chos 'en, according to Miss Gladys Gorman, coach. More upperclass girls are needed, Miss Gorman said, before upperclass teams can be chosen. The practice for freshmen will be held Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5 o’clock. Upperclassmen will practice at 4 o’clock on Tuesdays and Thursdays and practice for all will ; be held at 4 o’clock, on Me rid ax. SECOND ROUND OF DEBATES FOR MEN , SET FOR MARCH 8 *» i Women may Choose same Date; Two Tentative Questions Considered. MEN WILL ARGUE ABOUT CANCELING FRENCH DEBT Twelve Teams are Left After Elimination of Winners According to Points. The second round of the men’s dough nut debates has been scheduled for the evening of March (> and it is probable that the women will accept this date when the house representatives meet to morrow afternoon. The men have chosen for their ques tion, “Resolved, that the United States should cancel the French government's money debt to the United States gov ernment.” This question follows the de cision laid down by members of the league when they first organized to use for subject matter just that material which might involve timely problems of the league of nations Six Men’s Teams Left Following the elimination of three of the house teams according to points wou in the last debate, there remain in the men’s league only six teams and their program for competing at the next time has been arranged as follows: Affirmative vs. Negative. Friendly Hall vs. Delta Tan Delta. Delta Tau Delta vs. Beta Theta Pi. Beta Theta Pi vs. Sigma Nu. Sigma Nu vs- Phi Delta Theta. Phi Delta Theta vs. Oregon Club. • Oregon Club vs. Friendly Ilall. The coaches for the next series of debates will probably be the same as before. i lo unoose uuesuun Thus far the women have two tenta tive questions up for consideration which they will choose between fiuurly tomor row after due consideration of the mer its of both. These questions are, first, “Resolved, that the league of nations should rule that all non-governiug colo nies should be placed under the juris diction of the league”; or second,ly, “Re solved, that a Germany embittered by letot and loss of colonies is more to be feared inside the league of nations than outside of it.” The women’s houses still in the race are Alpha Phi, Oregon Club, Gamma Phi Beta, Hendricks Hall, Pi BeBta Phi, and Kappa Kappa Gamma. These hous es will be scheduled for the second meet tomorrow according to the dual plan in use NEW GYM ABOUT FINISHED Building Will Have Largest Floor Space on Campus. The old drill shed is fast being trans formed into a huge new gymnasium, and it is hoped by Dean Walker, iu charge of athletics, that the end of the present week will seee th work completed. This new building will overcome the present handicap of insufficient floor space. There will be three double tennis courts, five handball, volleyball and squash courts. The students will have two bas ketball sections and the faculty will have one. A doughnut league for indoor baseball will more than likely be formed in the near future, as there is plenty of room for such games that was lacking before. Many University functions other than athletic games may be held here, as this building will constitute the largest amount of floor space on the campus. The var sity and freshman teams have been ham pered by having only one gymnasium, as doughnut games interfered, but I)onn Walker hopes the new gymnasium will accommodate all PAPERS FOR NAVAL MEN All naval reserve men are urged by Colonel W. H- C. Bowen to procure their papers from the registrar's office and, after filling them out, to bring them to his office in Friendly hall, in order that he may sign them before they are returned to the registrar, Mr. Tif fanjv > ‘ Many Campus Favorites to Trip From Wings Next Friday Evening Rehearsal Shows Johnnie Houston Posing in Same Old Way, Cres Maddock as Policema and Marian Gilstrap as Swedish Maid. By Bess Coleman Dropping in at a rehearsal of “What Happened to Jones,” lust evening at the Eugene theatre to get a glimpse of what is to be expected next Friday night an Emerald reporter saw an array of tal ent which will he almost sure to be enough to suit all varieties of campus tastes. First there appeared Johnnie Houston. Johnnie will be Johnnie, the same old “Prince of Liars” who made us laugh i last year in Guild hull. He has the same graceful poses! Next Marion Gil strap tripped from the wings, but as a Swedish servant girl. Then there was Cres Ataddock, a policeman, and not a hit rusty after his long vacation from the stage. He policed all over the place, while Hester Hurd and Norvell Thomp son flirted outrageously at the side. David Lloyd Stearns did am Indian war dance too, while Bill Bolger registered pleading distress. Several of our former stars were there and a few new ones who hope to twinkle. And all the time Miss Charlotte Bnnfield presided, watch ing, guiding, stopping the action, starting it again. Especially noted was the old pink set no longer pink hut painted a cool blue. Whether it was Ella Dews or Marion Coffey, or ed Fowler or whoever it was that thought of it, everyone will be thankful, that's almost sure. So plans are almost ready for St. Val entine's evening. Lines uro learned, seats are selling like proverbial hotcakes and plans look favorable for the early dimin ishing of the student body debt. It is ru mored that the event will be "dressy”, and it is whispered that the chaperons adorning the boxes will wear evening dress. At all events it seems that cam pus folk are responding and all eager to see our actors cavorting on the boards. I FISH FIVE TO PUT 0. S. C.MIT BIGHT Infants will Go with Varsity for Two-Game Series at Corvallis. Tlio Freshman basketball squad will journey to Corvallis with tbe varsity team Friday to play tbe O. A. C. rooks. The Frosh will play two games on the \ same nights as the varsity. The team is 1 in good condition for the contest, and the frosh are capable of playing a fast fight ing game. No definite lineup has been announced, but probably Ventch and Manerud will play forwards, Jacobberger and Heller guards, , J Latham center. There may be j some changes but t.h«4*e men seem to have the best chances of making the regular j frosh team. Manuerud and Ventch are a mighty clever pair of basket shooters and will cause considerable trouble for the Aggie rooks. They have played together for the past two years in high school and their combination is hard to beat. Latham at center has been doing some ifne work for the frosh and looks like the best bet for the pivot position. Marc plays a clean fjf game and tosses the ball in the hoop with considerable regularity. Boiler and Jacobberger are doing some tall work at the guard positions. Boiler is an ac curate passer and seldom allows his man to slip over a shot. The freshman team is determined to clear the record of last year’s quintet, which lost three out of four games to the Aggies. The same number of {/ ines will be played this yenr, ns the O, A. C. rooks will come to Eugene when the Aggies play their return game with the varsity. At yet tbe freshman team is not sched uled to play any more games, but Dean Walker says they will play some Port land team if the game can bn arranged. TO MAKE HEALTH SURVEY Extension Division and Rod Cross will Gather Statistics of State. The University division will co-oper ate with the Red Cross, according to John C. Almack, director, in conducting a health survey of the state of Oregon. Material to be collected for the survi. will consist of health statistics, health legislation, and general information re garding agencies concerned with the pro motion and protection of health. Most of the material will be secured at local Red Cross chapters, then prepared and re ported to tbe northwestern division of the Red Cross. NEW Y W. ADVISERS NAMED The Y. W. C. A.
