Oregon m Emerald VOL. 20. EUGENE, OREGON, TUESDAY EVENING, FEB. 25, 1919. NO. 51. OH) FI WHS THREE GAMES OUT OF FPU TRIP All Conference Clashes Won; Team Eager for 0. A. C. Friday. DURNO TOSSES 184 Of SEASON’S SCORE OF 344 Contests this Week Decide Whether Varsity Goes to California. (Alexander <3. Brown.) The University of Oregon basketball 'team returned to the campus Sunday evening after a very successful week’s campaign throughout, the Northwest, winning thre out of four games while on the trip. The last game played against the Walla Walla V. M. C • A. Was won by the Washington team, but the result will have no effect upon the standing of the conference. The A\ alia Walla quintet handed Oregon.' the small end of a 52 to 27 count. According to the score book, which .tells many things often overlooked, Ore gon did not win the Idaho game by the grace of the referee cwu personal fouls, as stated in the press report. An un written law has been in effect in the conference this season whereby a per son who is. charged with four personal foals is not take.ru out of the game, but thn opposing team is awarded one point ami given the chance to throw another point on a ford. Different Rule In Force In the game at Moscow this ruling was not in effect, tout another rule was agreed upon by the coaches of the re spective teams whereby upon four per sonal fouls being called on a player the opposition was given the opportunity •to toss two fouls. Four fouls were called on Moe, Idaho forward, during the game and Oregon was given the chance to toss two fouls, both of which Eddie converted. 1 The ’ two games -against the AVashing ton State College team were about the •hardest of the season, according to mem bers of the team who returned. The Or egon "tossers were going strong, and they arc getting ready for the contests .with O. A. C. this week-end. The Ag gies were trimmed by the University of AVashington in two games at Seattle but that does not means necessarily that they are going to be beaten by the var sity here. The Aggies are out to win the Northwest championship they would be able to keep Oregon out of the finals and they would as soon do this as to win the title foe themselves. Aggies to Fight Hard ,Iti any event the Corvallis team will be here with all the fight that they are able to muster and they will put up a great game. Basketball is one game that, comparative scores tell very little about- A team may be going badly one week and "n million" the next, so those who nre already beginning to figure when the Oregon team leaves for California had better look up the train schedule be tween Corvallis and Eugene, as that may have a great deal to do with the other trip. About this time in the season the sporting statistician begins to figure up the total scores of the home team and compares the relative strength of the rspious departments. Figuring along these lines it has been found that in the conference games and the contest with Idaho, Oregon has scored 344 points to the 2n6 registered by her op ponents. Durno Pifcs Up Points Eddie Durno has been the big point winner for the varsity. On fouls Eddie has converted 00 out of a possible 134, which gives him an average in the de partment of .671. Durno has scored 04 points this season on field baskets, which gives him a grand total of 1S4 points registered. This figures out to he .1534 per cent o fthe total score of the varsity this season. For one man this is a pretty good average. The fact that Oregon has scored al most 100 points more tham her rivals speaks well for the brand of guarding that has been done by Ohapmnn, Bran don and Taoobberger.

Lozengo LaSnoope Emerald Sleuth on Trail of Mu Cow Mu At great trouble and expense, the Em erald has employed a highly-trained de tective to ferret out the different secret organizations on the campus, and start ling revelations will be made from time to time. The great teck, Lozengo La Snoope, has been at work for only a few days, but already he has made some amazing discoveries. There are many secret societies on the campus whose existence has never been suspected. The membership of these so cities is made up of representative and characteristic men of the campus, and nearly all of them have high ideals. One of the first, which Lozengo un earthed, is the ancient and venerable so- ( ciety named Mu Cow Mu. Its avowed purpose is to supply better milk for ba bies of Springfield. Hence its musical and expressive name. Mu Cow Mu was or ganized by King Solomon, following a long appeal by his eighty-eighth wife— a native of Springfield. Among the prom inent campus men who belong, is the well known pugilist, Q. P. Strangler. Accord ing to Lozengo, Q. P. had a hard time to get into the club, because he was a strong advocate of Bevo instead of milk for the babies. Doug LeMarqms is also paid to he one of the Bevo advocates of the club. The Two Tonic club, for the. oxtrrml nntion of the Germans, and the respira tion of moustaches, is claimed by Lo Lozengo. to lie another of the secret or ganization which he is exposing. “Skin ny” Oldberg, and David E. Woodrow are supposed to he the two shilling lights of this organization. Since the expose, there has been considerable commotion on the campus against the alleged pro-German ic name of the society. Trey C. Beers and Harrv Irish have also founded a club and their avowed pur pose. is eternal war on the sandfleas of Mt. Hood. The good work or this club has caused much favorable comment ev erywhere except on Mt. Hood, and it is expected thut the club will live a long life. La Snoope is still continuing his inves tigations, and it is probable that the Emerald will be able to give its readers more information at a near date. Please mail all complaints and bombs to the Stings Detective Agency, Samoan Is lands. CiPTillDU SfMJFRH Oregon Graduate, Football and Track Star, was Head of Ambglance Unit.

The company went through some of the hottest fighting on the western front Inst fall without losing a man, and Captain Kuykendall's death was the first in the unit in France, now on the eve of returning home. In his college days Captain Kuykendall was one of the best all-around athletes over developed at the institution.

Classes Are For All. “We want it. emphasized,” Director Walker said this morning, “that these periods are for nil the men of the faculty who wish to come out for this exercise.” Games will bo played in addition to the regular exercises. Volley hall will probab ly he one of the most popular, thinks Mr. Walker. The faculty have reserved for them special dressing rooms, private lookers, and private showers and every thing will he fixed for their convenience. Although the principal idea of this new arrangement for faculty athletics is to give every man a chance to get exercise and to develop “athletics for all,” teams will also be worked up to participate in the doughnut leagues, “just to show the youngsters,” as Dean Walker puts it, “that they don’t know everything about I athletics.” Some Promising Material. The faculty lias promising material for teams in the various sports. t)r. Warren I). Smith, head of the department of ge ology, is a University of Wisconsin track man of prominence and Sam Bass War ner is a Harvard track man.

DE FELL UNDER ARREST Former Instructor Hold on Charge of Impersonating Instructor. Professor John Ferdinand Hnrthan Do Fell, former instructor in foreign lan guages in the University has been arrested in Los Angeles on the charge of impersonating a sailor in the Tinted States navy. Officers found on searching bis room a discharge from the armv. showing that he has been a member oi j the students’ army training corps at Stanford University. Professor l)e Fell declared upon his arrest that he had been ill-treated while serving in the language department at the University and that following his resig nation from the faculty he was accused of being a German spy, a draft evader, and a dangerous alien enemy and was held for three weeks in his rooms at the University club at Portland upon the complaint of the district attorney. lie was finally released.

Further investigation of the ease will he made by the war squadron of the Los i Angeles police force. Dr. Straub Discovers $1000 Check on Desk; But It Is Not for Him A check for one thousand dollars! ■‘This must be a joke!" Such was the reaction to the unexpected when Dean John Straub discovered on his desk j Monday morning said check made out j to him and bearing the signature of Mrs. W. F. Jewett. "I must find out about this.” and the dean hastily thumbed over the leaves of the telephone directory in search of the name signed to the check. ‘"litis is Mr. Straub speakiug.” when he got his party. “.T-.Tust w-what does this e-check m-mean?” he inquired. ‘‘Oh! it is for the woman's building, and it is really so? 1 just found it on my desk,” he exxplnined. ‘‘It has been there since Saturday night, you say? What time? Ten o’clock!” Thus the people interested in the Uni versity lost the chance Saturday night, by a hearty vote of thanks, to recog nize the gift of Mrs. Jewett, for Dean Straub sa.\s that if he had received the gift before leaving he can think of no more fiting place to have made the an nouncement at the colonial assembly given to raise funds for the woman’s building. As it was, the check lay on the desk and for 'll? hours of grim silence before the belated thank you was given to the donor, who, however, could feel amply repaid by the big smile worn all day yesterday by Dean Straub. “I made the check out to Dean Straub I because In is to me the father of the University, am! through him 1 learned of the needs of the institution,” Mrs. Jewett stated yesterday, adding that she wanted to show that she was willing to do a little to help the University. Mrs. Jewett’s home is in Gardiner, Oregon, hut she is living at 14(54 Fair mount lion,evard with her daughter,' Nar cissa, who is a freshman and member of I’i lietu 1'hi, attends the University.

WORK MAY START SOON ON WOMAN’S STRUCTURE Money will be Available In $25,000 Blocks to Match Outside Gifts. Passage by the state senate Monday of the $2o5,000 appropriation bill for the University, assured both $1.’15,000 iD addition to the millngo tax for the main tenance of the institution and if100,000 for the long-planned Women’s building on the campus. The $100,000 granted for the women’s building, under the terms of the bill, will be turned over to the University as soon as equal sums raised from private sources are obtained, according to the agreement made by the sponsors for the building with the legislators. This means, according to Karl On thank, secretary to President Campbell that work on the new building can be begun in the near future, since there is now available in cash and bonafide pledg es, between $20,000 and $25,000, for the building. Plans, to be drawn under the direction of Dean Lawrence of the School of Architecture, will provide, it is under stood, for a building to be erected under the unit plan, for the first unit of which $.10,000 will soon bo available. The full cost of the structure will ultimately bq $200,000. In addition to the $12.1,000 appropriat ed for maintenance for two years, the millage tax provides almost $.'100,000 a year. The vision of n women’s building on the campus, conceived six years ago by Miss M. Ruth Guppy, dean of women at the University in 1915, is about to be realized, as it is expected that the $100, 000 appropriation bill will be passed b.v the state legislature in a few days, as recommended and voted on Monday night, February 3. by a joint ways and means committee from the house and senate. Au equal amount will be raised by popu'ar subscription, and a $200,000 building will be erected. Work on the new structure will probably begin this spring if the legislature passes the bill. It was through this realization by Mis» Guppy of the total lack of buildings and facilities that the Women’s League was organized and since that time all tho young women of tho student body have been working for the greatly needed building. In 1015, Mrs. George T. Gor iinger, of Portland, a member of th« board of regents, undertook to furthei tho cause of the women’s league, with the result that $20,552.30 of the requir ed $100,000 is in tiie bank and drawing interest, according to a report made by Mrs. Gerlinger, who appeared before the ways and means committee and spoke ol the necessity for the building. What she said was indorsed by Mrs. Charles II. Cnstner, of Ilood River and Mrs. George McMast'ers, of Portland, Alumni Contribute. The first one hundred dollars raised by P< pular subscription came from the Ore gon Alumnae residing in Portland, Gam ma Phi Beta, of which sorority Miss Guppy is a member, pave $25 n year to the fund until last year, when due to war conditions, they were unable to raise the amount. (>f the gifts to the fund, the donors are nil students, alumni, women’s clubs and friends of the University.
