A Judged by last night’s meeting “Bib” Carl has stepped into his new position with all his pent up good *Jtumor and enthusiasm, coupled with .a determination to keep things mov ing from start to finish. ► “It’s a good chance,” said Bib, while discussing plans with his chair men, “for some of these fellows to make an immortal hit with the wo 1'ien. Let them invest a few dol lars in the new building. It’s cheap er, too, than buying Christmas pres bnts, especially where more than pne woman figures in the case. Just ^end a little note to each of ’em that you are giving them a brick for the building.” *- The chairmen reported that they Jiad already selected students to take charge of the campaign in each town in their territory. These local campaign managers are listing stu dents and alumni, and making all arrangements to begin an active cam paign as soon as they reach home. Jn addition to personal subscription by which as many as possible will be reached, some are planning bene fit dances, and teas or bridge par ities under the auspices of the wo man’s clubs in many towns. Nell “Warwick said she felt sure that she jcould find strong support for the movement among the women’s clubs “in Marshfield and the Coos Bay ■'district. i i - (Continued on page 4) * OF CADETS NOW KEPT NEW FORMS FOR RATINGS USED BY MILITARY STAFF HERE Official forms for the R.

SPANISH CLUB TO MEET Circulo Castellano Members Will Have Conversational Paul Jones Did you ever hear of a conversa tional John Paul Jones? If you have never had the opportunity and good fortune, come to the meeting of the Circulo Castellano, which will be held Thursday evening at 7:00 o’clock, in the Y. W. C. A. bunga low, and take part in one.

FROSH WAIT FOR GRACH BASKETEERS NEED MENTOR — SHY WILL NOT SERVE Practice Will Begin on Decision of Athletic Council—Material Seems Promising Frosh basketball will soon occupy a center of athletic interest. Now that football activities are nearly over the aspiring freshmen will be called out as soon as the athletic council decides on a coach. A meeting of the council was held this week but no definite decision on the matter was made. Shy Huntington, last year’s coach, will not act in that capacity this year. The doughnut season, which will come to a close this week, has afford ed a good chance of getting a line on some of the more promising material who will be expected to show to ad vantage for the team, and from indi cations and form shown by some of the “doughnutters” the Frosh aggre gation should be a strong one, possi bly better than last year. Some of the more promising mat erial who can be expected to show to advantage are Hugh Latham, brother of last year s frosh center, and all state inter-scholastic center, Base and Alexander, former Jefferson high school stars, and Andre of Walla Walla. Other men who show up well are Gavin, Holmes, the Shiel and Carson brothers, Clerin, H. Jacob «rger, Meade, Strahorn, O’Kane, Mc ^larv and Kays. “PRINCE OF LIARS,” WELL ACTED COMEDY, DRAWS SMALL HOUSE Attendance at Benefit Play Shows Lack of Intrest; $100 Cleared (By Paul Farrington) Swift action, tasteful setings, ex cellent conception of parts and a de noument par excellence made “The Prine of Liars,” presented by Mask and Buskin at the Eugene theatre last Saturday night, one of the most suc cessful plays, dramatically, ever of fered by amateurs in Eugene. Ail obvious indifference on the part of the University student body and a com paratively small audience made the production, financially, a near failure. The play was good. There was hardly a time when the interest was not sustained. The humor was of a type which you can digest well with out any particular effort and without any brown after-taste in your mouth. “The Prince of Liars” was enjoyable. Houston is Good John Houston, interpreting his lines like a professional, moving every where with the easiness of a John Barrymore, combined with the agility of a Fred Stone, was easily the star. Houston’s actions always lacked the stiffness which commonly marks the movements of the amateur. His in tonations and facial expression— de tails which make or ruin a part—were always adequate. Ray Dunn in the role of the British er, brought forth many laughs, and the work of Marian Gilstarp and Thelma Stanton deserves mention. Due to the fact that a great many chairs in the theatre were able to see the show without anybody obstruct ing their view, Si Simola last night stated that only about $100 can be turned into the fund which will as sist in paying the expenses of Oregon’s delegates to the Student Volunteer Movement convention. The drama might be called a slight benefit play. The Cast Arthur Hummington.John Houston Mrs. Hummington . Marian Gilstrap Mrs. Gillebrand . Helen Case The Gutta Percha Girl . .

These ar ticles, which range in price from 25 cents to $6, include card cases, bags, Japanese prints, umbrellas, place cards, luncheon sets, and in cense burners as well as many other things which will be extremely ep propriate for Christmas gifts. The sale, which was begun the first part of the week in the Y. W. C. A. bungalow, has been a splendid suc cess, according to Miss Urith Dail ey, secretary of the Y. W. C. A., and new stock is arriving Tuesday afternoon to replace that already sold.

Gerlinger of Port land, regent of the university; Mrs. Roy Bishop, of Portland, prominent club worker of Oregon and chairman of the committee of the Oregon State Federation of Women’s clubs, and Homer Angell, *00, Portland attorney, and president of the University Alumni association, are expected to speak at the regular student body meeting Thursday morning at 11 o’clock in Villard hall.

Word that they will be in Eugene Thursday has been received from Mrs. Gerlinger and Mrs. Bishop, and although nothing definite has been heard from Mr. Angell, those in charge of the assembly are pos- J itive that he will be present. Mrs. Gerlinger is credited with! having done more than any other j one person in bringing the university : closer and closer to this particular ] goal—that of having a women’s building that will be a credit to the institution. Mrs- Bishop, known as a club leader, is said to be an exceptionally good speaker. Although not a grad- j uate of the university, she is one! of its best friends and has done con-! siderable toward making the Wo men’s building a reality. An effort is being made by Stan ford Anderson, president of the as sociated students, to have the men’s and girls’ glee club sing Thursday. WOMEN DASKETEERS TO PLAY IN JANUARY CONTEST FOR HAYWARD CUP TO BE WAGED—101 GIRLS OUT FOR TEAMS The interclass women’s basketball contests for the class championship and the Hayward cup will be held some time in January. Two teams will be selected from each of the freshman and sophomore classes, and one team each from the junior and senior classes soon after Christmas vacation. Miss Emma Waterman, coach of women's basketball, said that it is j very doubtful if any games will be secured with O. A. C- or other outside j teams, although there is good ma-| terial for a varsity team. The un- j derclass girls are required to come to regular practices to make their i class teams, while this is not re quired of the upperclass girls who are out for basketball. Miss Waterr | man said that basaetbail Is not a sport mainly for majors in the phy sical training department, but for all girls who are actively interested in athletics. She urges more seniors to turn out as only one of that class has as yet signed for practice. Ruth Flegal, of Eugene, is head of women’s basketball at the Univer sity, and is also head of sophomore class basketball. Assisting her are Emily Perry, of Portland, of the freshman class, Jessie Todd, of Eu gene, of the junior class, and Mary Mathes, of Ashland, of the senior class.

REFUSES TO ACCEPT CONFERENCE RULING ON FINANCES California Plan Which Would Split Gate Receipts Rouses Washington Ire TO PLAY OUTSIDE TEAM Coast Champs to Play Eastern Team —Willamette Admitted to Northwest Group Disgruntled over the decision of the Pacific Coast conference to split gate receipts to intercollegiate games 50 50 between the contestants, the Uni versity of Washington has announced its determination to play no confer ence games until the action is re voked. Word of this action was brought from Seattle yesterday by Prof. H. U. llowe, Bill Hayward and Shy Hunt ington, who were Oregon’s delegates to the annual meeting of the confer ence held in that city over tlie week end. Professor Howe, faculty repre sentative on the Oregon delegation, believes that Washington will abide by the decision they have made and will content themselves by playing games with teams from ship and navy yards about Seattle and possibly a non-conference contest with Califor nia rather than acquiesce to the wishes of tlve majority of the confer ence institutions. The proposal upon which the split came was really originated by the University fo California, although pre sented to the conference by some of the smaller colleges. Professor Howe points out that it would not work a great hardship upon the schools boasting larger attendance for provis ion was made that students from the host institution should be admitted without charge on their student tic kets and that only the actual gate re cepits would be apportioned among the colleges playing. Willamette Admitted Other important matters acted upon by the conference were: Scheduling of the Pacific Coast con ference track meet next spring for Palo Alto on May 16; the decision to play a post-season game between the coast champions and some eastern team under the auspices of the coast conference at a place to be selected by the champions, and under their conditions; the rejection of the ap plication of the University of South ern California for admission to the conference, and the acceptance of the Willamette University petiitloiv for admission to the Northwest confer ence. Track Meet Goes to Palo Alto The Coast conference track meet, which Oregon bid for as a probable attraction for Junior week-end, is to be staged by Stanford. This is a date which conflicts very much with other plans, according to Professor Howe, and made it impossible for a complete track schedule to be made out at the session. The decision to play a post-season football game between the champions of the coast conference and some east ern team was arrived at because of the fear among members of the con ference that Pasadena was grabbing all the shekels that the contest brought. ‘‘Washington and California, both peeved at the Pasadena commit tee, suggested the move, and the rest of the colleges, seeing that it would benefit them instead of the city of Pasadena, agTeed to it,” explained the professor. “The rejection of the application of the University of Southern Califor nia for membership in the conference was made because of the poor stan dards of the southern institution," said Professor Howe. “U. S. C. is made up largely of graduate schools, and its entrance requirements are not up to the standard of the other mem bers of the conference. Methodists Only Play Basketball Willamette University was admit ted to the Northwest conference, a meeting of which was held the same time as that of the Coast conference. The Northwest conference, according to Professor Howe, is composed of several schools as smalfr as Willam ette, and it was felt that the Salem school could offer as stiff competition 1 in basketball as any of the others. ! Basketball is the only sport in which the Methodist institution will engage for the present. Oregon, O.A.C. and W.S.C. are members of both the Coast and Northwest conferences.
