UNIVERSITY’S QUINTET HAS FAIR CHANCE WITH SEATTLE ON THURSDAY Washington’s Team Lacks Pep Jess Balmer Best Bet of Northern Five OREGON PLAYING BtTTEI Shy’s Men Work Hard for Comins Battle—Lineup Not Yet An nounced The Oregon basketball squad wil depart for Seattle tomorrow after noon to mix with the Sound Cit: athletes. There is much speculatioi as. to Oregon’s chances 'for a vie tory, but if Eddie Durno is workinj up to regular form there can be lit tie doubt that the lemon-yellow com bination will cop off the prize. Goad "Shy’’ Huntington has been workinj the men long and hard in prepara tion for the coming game. The team will be in much better condi tion than it was for the Whitman contest. The Washington team is reported to be a slow bunch and Coach Alii son is having difficulty instilling in them the old ginger. It is also known that there are some excellent shots on the northern five. Probably the best man on the squad is Jess Balmer, center. Balmer is an old timer. Cook and Jamieson are both rated among the top notchers. It is understood that the Washing ton guards ‘are not over strong so it is certain that little Eddie Durno will feature strong in the contest. “Shy” Jias not announced his lineup for the coming game but Latham looks like the best bet for the pivot Job. Latham will have the hardest man on the northern team to battle with, but Judging from his exhibition against the Missionaries he should give a good account of himself. Huntington has not given out the names of the men who will make the trip. The following are among those who are practically certain to don a uniform in Seattle on the night of January 22 and 23: Captain Lind, Eddie Durno, Nish Chapman, Francis Jacobberger, Mark Latham, Skeet Manerud, Francis Beller. “LOOK WHAT THEY DID AT PASADENA” IS CRT STATE’S LAWMAKERS Representative Bean Tells of Friendship Toward Uni versity “ ‘They're entitled ta It, look what they did at Pasadena,’ some state congressman always said when a re •solution regarding the University of Oregon was before them,” said Kep rosentattve L, E. llean of Eugene to day. “In my experience with the state legislature I have never known it to show so much friendly feeling to ward the state university,” continued the representative. "It was the opinion of members of both houses that the splendid showing of Oregon in the game against Harvard did more to advertise the state and get the institution before the people than any other single event. Oregon tight at Pasadena certainly brought the institution, its needs, and its work before the legislature." The ways anu means committee save the sum of $50,000 for the com pletion and furnishlntt Of the women’s building, which was the amount ask ed for t>y the Lane county delegation for that purpose, reported Bean. The legislature was called as an emergency session by the governor. There were only two really important emergency bills before the congress. One was the Educational millage bill and the other the Game and Pish commissions. It was a very busy session. Some 1*4 measures were acted upon and about 1100 were be tore the house and senate, according to the I.ane county legislator. “The 1.26 mill tax on the taxable wealth of the state will return $1,260, 000 annually," he said. “This will be divided between the University, O. A. C. and the state normal on tin same basis us heretofore. Between the two big institutions the propor tjon is three-sevenths to the 1'niver sity and four-sevenths to the col lege. “The Fish and Gome bill provides for two departments. On department consists of three members whose func tion is to look after the commercial j end of the fish question. The other 1 department is composed of five mem r hers who are to take charge of fish ! and game questions from the sports man’s angle. The combined depart ments will meet in March to elect a chairman, who is to be a man neithei • interested in game nor fish from th€ sportsman’s or the packer’s stand point. This chairman will be al lowed a vote only when conflicting opinions makes it necessary to reach a definite conclusion,” said Eugene’s l legislator. “The Lane county delegation was successful in electing Earl Simmons ! to the Game and Fish commission 1 ! Mr. Simmons is chairman of the Eu gene chamber of commerce.” con eluded Mr. Bean. FRESHMAN BONFIRE i ABOLITION IS URGED BY PROF. F.G. YOUNG Faculty Man Favors Pledge Day and Homecoming Day Combination That the annual freshman bonfire should be supplanted by a more econ omical display of enthusiasm, which would effect a great saving in time and money, was the view expressed yesterday by Dean F. G. Young of the graduate department. “I would also favor the combining of pledge day with Homecoming day, and would make it an alumni affair as well as for freshmen,” he stated. Dean Young’s views concerning the freshman bonfire were expressed with the hope that there might be some substitute for the time-honored tradition, which would be acceptable to the students. During the past few years, Professor Young stated, there has been difficulty in securing suf ficient material to make a large enough blaze to suit the onlookers, who on the eve of the big game de sire keen excitement. The same cause has led some of the first-year men to get into trouble by taking boxes and crates without permission, he believes. If some sort of electrical display could be used in place of the bonfire, in Dean Young’s opin ion, many of the bad features of the fire could be overcome. He suggest ed that a slogan might be flashed out with electric lights which could be used for the year. ‘T believe,” said Dean Young, “that Homecoming day would be much more attractive to the returning alumni if something were arranged for their entertainment besides the football game,” To do this, he said that pledge day could be deferred until Homecoming day and an alumni fea ture added. At present the governor or some state official administers a pledge to the new students, in which they agree to give the best service possible to the state in return for the education they receive in the state institutions. Many graduates of the University are high in the state service and if the one who had been most conspicuous in the ser vice of the public were chosen and an award of recognition, Dean Young states that the alumni would un doubtedly show more interest in Homecoming day. At the same time, he added, it might impress the duty of public service more firmly upon the freshmen. MOVE ON FOOT TO PUT OREGON IN FORENSIC RACE Phllologians Limit Membership and Require High Standard of Work From All Who Join As a result of a meeting of all stu dents Interested in debate, which was I held in l'rof. Prescott's room last | Thursday evening, the reorganisation ! of the old Phllologinn Debating so ciety, which broke up during the year of 1911, was commenced. Wilbur Carl was elected temporary chair man and a committee on constitu tion and bylaws chosen, consisting of Prof. P. C. Crockatt, Don Davis and : Paul Patterson. This committe is scheduled to report at the meeting next Thursday. Kach member pres ent was urged to bring a friend with him at the next meeting. The purpose of the society, ac cording to Prof. Crockatt. is to pro mote interest in debate at Oregon. He pointed out the strength of the society and Oregon's position in de j bate in former years and hoped for Frosh Glee Censored At Curbstone jUjtjtjUjt jUjttjlJtjtJt No-Dress-Suit Decision Up In Smoke | The Nicotine Chapter of .the Royal Order of the Camel ‘.which gathers be tween classes aboutrfhe curb opposite the library |s an open forum which discusses current topics- Somewhere in the history of our nation we are reminded of a President Taylor who had the same name as the prexy of the freshman class. Speakings of Taylors recalls, that the frosh glee has been made an informal affair. Mem bers of the anti-dress suit association which includes most of the male pop ulation of the University, ar^secretly giving a vote of thanks to the mem I bers of the infant class. Somehow j father’s evening attire never would fit us any way. Colonel Leader in his own terse words described a full (dress collar as one of the horors of peace, and we agree. Would it not be embarrassing, we ask, to be stopped in the middle of j the floor by a messenger and loudly hay, “McMorran & Washburne want that suit returned at eight o’clock as some other fellow has rented it for tomorrow.”? After you had told her how.you had abtiained the suit at great expense apd trouble, this would, indeed, be the cause of many a man tying a rock around his neck and cast ing himself into the angry waters of the mill race. Imagine, if you can, some unsuspecting youth forgetting to remove the tags from the coat and as he danced about, display to the uni verse a placard saying, $8.98. Another item that is worthy of praise is that there will be no ad mission charged. Anyone going to the glee will thereby save a total of about three dollars for flowers, two for a taxi, and a dollar or so to get in. Net gain, five bucks- This would en able each student to purchase his own cigarettes for the remainder of the term and thereby become a member of the Nicotine Club in good standing. The abolition of the dress suit makes the dance a glee in every sense of the word. But the glee is not limited to the frosh, for those who escape the agonies of* the formal attire are at least secretly offering a prayer of thanks. What will become of Bill's Old StuU? j* j* j* ** j* j* jt jt j* j* And will New Car be Blue or Pink? Whether the new roadster is to be turquoise blue or salmon pink, Bill Hayward doesn’t care, just as long as it has large pockets and broad running boards, for the list of ‘‘also riders” is getting so long that Bill has stopped counting. One thing is certain, the girls will have first chance. Running them a close sec ond, however, will come the Pasa dena gang who have been lobbying the men’s gym since the arrival of the telegram last night announcing the gift of the Oregon alumni to the University’s honored trainer. The telegram does not state the make of the. car but Hayward be lieves it to be a Templar. He will j leave for Portland tomorrow, where, if the roadster is not already select ed, he will spend a few days on the paved highways at the expense of the various salesmen’s gasoline. The amount raised by the alumni for the new car is $3085. The big mystery of the whole af fair and the cause of much specu lation is the fact that Bill is now driving a Stutz. Of course the “war horse” is a little the worse for wear, yet many students and ambitious faculty also, are anxiously awaiting the announcement of an auction sale. Bill refused to say whether or not he will part with the ancient road ster, letting slip several hints to the effect that he may retain the Stutz for “exeryday use” and keep the gift for Sundays only. If the roads permit, Bill will drive the new car back to Eugene, where it is rumored it will be met by the brass band and a delegation of some 200 who have been promised the first ride. the re-establishment of her former prominence. The members of the newly organ ized society intend to secure the aid of Karl Onthank, Carlton Spencer, and Professors J. H. Gilbert, B. W. Prescott and P. C. Crockatt, who are members of i old Oregon debating societies. Speech ! es, briefs and debates will be taken i up, in order to give the members a ! practical knowledge of the principles of elocution and debate. A limited membership is planned, and each ap plicant for membership will be re quired to measure up to a certain standard in debate. $6,000 Loot Stolen at Michigan Thieves broke Ihto the chemistry building at the University of Michi gan and carried off $6,000 worth of platinum, as well as several hun dred in cash.
