New Plan To Be Tried Here; Drill To Be Given In Rudiments. HAYWARD TO DEVEVLOP SPEED IN BACKFIELD Coach Seeking To Work Up Good Punter to Fill Shoes of Bill Steers. Spring football practice will be inau gurated for the varsity candidates at tlie University this year according to “Shy” Huntington, Oregon football men tor. The greater part of the training work will be practice in punting and passing and in teaching the fundamen uientals of the game. This of course will not apply to very many of the vet erans who will be on hand, but is being worked out for the benefit of the raw material which will be needed to fill up the eleven of next yean Coach Huntington does not intend to run the squad through any scrimmage j work, and the majority of the men who will be required to take part iti the reg ular practice will be tlie aspirants for the baebfield and end positions. Trainer • “BT" Hayward will also take a hand] m the work and will get the men into training, developing the backfield men into sprinters and instructing the line men in how to get off to a good start. Plan New to Oregon. The plan of spring training is new to Oregon, although it has been worked suc cessfully in other Pacific const colleges. All the football candidates will be re quired to go out cither for track or this football training, and those who are taking part in baseball and track will also spend a part of the time with the football squad. Coach Huntington’s desire at present is. to develop a good punter and several good passers. The loss of big “Bill” Steers’ mighty kicking foot to the lemon yellow eleven, will be keenly felt next season, and someone must be groomed to fit into Bill’s place. “Spike Leslie is a good punter, but “Spike” is a line uikn and it is desired if possible to get a backfield man to do the kicking. Likely Frosh in Line. Several likely looking candidates from the frosh team of the past season will be tried out carefully; among these are Burton, Parsons, Johnson, Chapman and De Armand. Another man who may fill the bill is husky “Tiny” Shields who handled a tackle position on the varsity eleven the past season. “Tiny” is fast for his bulk and he has sbowrn an abil ity to kick as well as being a fair passer. ‘'Rudd” Brown. “Hunk” Latliam and I on der Abe will also be worked on from the angle of passing and receiving pass es. Receiving punts is another department of the game which will \be drilled into the squad. This is a department in which a number of fumbles are apt to be made and prove costly to a team, and is fully as important as receiving passes. Several Regulars Lost. Oregon loses several varsity regulars this year which will make it fully as hard to build up a team nest season as it was in the season of 15)20. Steers. Mautz and “Brick” Leslie, all veterans of three years Service with the varsity, "ill not be back another year, and there are usually a few others of the regular squad who drop off during the summer months and fail to return to school in time for. the football season. In working the squad on a spring training schedule it is the plan of the coaching staff to save a lot of time in the fundamentals and smaller points of the game when the fall training season commences. There is little enough time ,n the fall to whip the squad into shape in time for the opening games and this saving will aid .greatly during that period. The experiment will he watched with interest by the trainers and coach os, for it is the first time such a plan has beeu tried at Oregon. ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED.

FROSHlCllO IS IT HSU FOR GLEE Class Levies Special Tax for Dance; Want Won derful Affair. Freshmen Levy Assesment to Pay Ex penses of Class Frolic. The freshman class meeting, Thurs day, was the scene o finnch hot discus sion concerning the expenses of the an nual ftosh glee to be given at the Arm- i ory, February 4. Some members were strongly opposed to the levying of any assessments and declared themselves in favor of keeping the expenses within the present amount of the treasury which is .$350. Harold Brown, general chairman of the glee committee, said that the floor could be swept and a small orchestra hired and a cheap dance given if the class so wished. The assessment passed and tiie class was promised a wonderful and never to be forgotten glee. ' A motion, introduced by .Timmy Meeks, to award clotli class numerals to the men on the frosh football squad, was passed unanimously. These numerals to be designed by the art department, will be awarded to the twelve or fifteen men who played on the team. Dean Fox addressed the class, ask ing that they endeavor to uphold, at the glee and elsewhere, the standard of good dancing. The class expressed its i sentiments against such dancing posi i tions as were criticized recently by Iyort I land people. HERMANS OUST SLANG Girls Athletic Club Takes Stand for Cul tural English. j A resolution to do away with the use. ] of slang was adopted at the first meet ing this term of the Hertuian elub Tuesday night. The members of the elub decided to begin their reform “'at home” and to use their influence against the use of slang so prevalent today. “We want it understood.” said Ruth Wolff, president, “that we stand for cul tural English and for a riuiet profession al manner. The fact that our work in cludes practical work and athletics, as well as the cultural side, that does not show to any extent that we are not just as interested in the culural side as in the other.” Miss Laura McAllister, member of the faculty of the physical training depart ment. who was present at the meeting was well pleased with at attitude taken by the physical education majors. Monday afternoon, the members of the club plan to formally present the replicas of the Parthenon frieze, recent ly purchased as their gift to the women’s building. GIRLS’ GLEE HAS TRYOUT.

There was an abundance of ma terial. said Prof. Coon, and the judges had difficulty in eliminating the few they did.. INQUIRY INTO HIGH PIPES PRICE ISKED BY IKPIPEA MEN 'Journalism Convention Holds Opening Session of Two Day Meeting. BANQUET TENDERED BY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Fifty Editors In Attendance Discuss Problems of Varied Nature. Newspaper editors and publishers of the slate, in conference on the campus, yesterday passed resolutions petition ins Hie Oregon legislature to memorial ize the Federal Trade Commission, ask ing it to make a full investigation of the paper mills and plants of Oregon, to the end that newspapers may obtain relief from the present price situation. •More than fifty editors and publish ers, a number of them accompanied by their wives, came to tile University for the conference. The visitors were the guests of the Eugene Chamber of Com merce last night at a banquet at the Osbuni. The sessions will continue this morning and will end with a luncheon at Hendricks hall at noon. Foreign Ads Discussed. The subject of foreign advertising was the principal topic at the morning ses sion, which opened with the paper by Charles \Y. English, of the Portland Better Business Bureau, entitled “How the Oregon Country Publisher Could Or ganize and Obtain Vastly More Foreign Advertising.” He suggested that the newspapers of the state co-operate in an organization similar to the Better Busi ness Bureau and in this way offer to National Advertisers a service that would back up advertising campaigns and secure, us nearly as possible, 100 per cent return on the advertising in every com in unity. He also urged tlitit every newspaper use greater discretion in the class of ad vertising which it publishes, and in the matter of publishing advertising that 'which simulates reading matter. He concluded by saying “There are three thoughts I wish to leave with you, First, That the public has a right to be lieve the advertising it reads, second, that au advertiser lias the right to have his advertising believed and should not 1 be compelled to have his advertising placed side by side with an advertis meut which is dishonest and does not conform to the truth, and third, that it is the duty of the newspaper to protect its reader’s confidence in censoring the advertising published. John Beamish Speaks. The next speaker was John T. Beam ish. advertising manager of the Baker Herald, who spoke on “Personal experi ences in Visiting the Offices of the Big Agencies in tiie East to get Foreign Ad vertising for an Oregon County Paper.” The advertising agencies prefer a flat rate to the sliding scale, according to Mr. Beamish, some o^ the agencies going so far us to say that they had withheld advertising from some western papers because of complicated rate sheets. , An organization among state newspa permen thut will have it easier for small papers to obtain the benefit of a per sonal representative to eastern agencies and will do away with the necessity of each paper’s going through the process of securing foreign advertising was ad vocated by Mr. Curry, editor of the Baker Herald, in a letter from him to the conference, read by Mr. Beamish. The average newspaper, according to Mr. Curry, is not securing fifty per cent of the business it should have. A defi nitely organized “pooling system,” he thinks, will be an aid to all papers. Farm Editor Speaks. .7. A. Davidson, manager of the Ad vertisers Service Bureau of the Oregon Farmer told of “What the Farm Paper Knows About Advertising that the Bo cal Publisher Ought to Know.” He also urged active co-operation on the fmrt of all publishers in the small towns. The appointment of the nominating committee to report at the evening meeting concluded the morning session This committee is E. M. Beagan. Albany Herald, chairman; K. W. Sawyer. Bend Bulletin, and X. .T. Vanskeike of the Milton Eagle. The subject of the afternoon was “A proposed code of newspaper law.’ “Some troublesome and inneffeetive fea tures of Oregon newspaper law” were (Continued on Page ”».) Principles of Christianity Are Cure for World Trouble Says Sherwood Eddy in Student Talk “The principles of Jesus Christ will solve tiiis world's problems,” stated Sherwood Eddy, noted Y. M. C. A. speaker and social worker, in speaking to a University-townspeople assembly in Villard hall last night. Personality, Brotherhood. Service. Liberty. Justice and Accountability — these are the prin ciples that will bring the world out of its present state of unrest, according to the speaker. Labor must be allowed to form unions, to have a voice in industry, and a right ful share of profits if this nation is to accomplish the inevitable transition in placing labor and capital on an equal basis by processes of evolution, as is be ing done in Britain, instead of by revo lution: ns is being done in Russia. Two per cent of the people possess 60 per cent of the wealth in America. At the bottom. 60 per cent possess only 5 per cent of the wealth. One-third of this nation’s money is in the hands of 180 men. As long as this condition ex ists there will be unrest and turmoil. A few cases of willingness of big produc ers to aid in bringing about, a righteous and peaceable change are noted. The McCormick manufacturers of Chicago give labor equal representation in coun cils determining wages and conditions iu the plants. In this company labor owns 7 per cent of the capital anti is given GO per cent of annual profits. Eddy cited this as u commendable example. It was the work of an Oxford stu dent that brought about the changes in Britain. If a few men in each of the colleges of America would devote their lives to the improvement of social con-' ditions it would be but a few years until the world's problems would be solved. Sherwood Eddy spoke at 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon to the student body at Villard hall. He described his travels throughout Europe, and told of the stringent conditions that existed in the. central powers. In Austria he said, the government food rations for one week were scarcely a full day’s meal for one man. In Poland, stated the speaker, lie found that the conditions were badly overdrawn. He saw but very little trace of the atrocities spoken of by the American press. Conditions throughout the entire.part of Europe were described. The eco nomic system, applying to the United States ns well as Europe with great wealth on the one hand and nothing on the other, was bound to break, the speaker said. Evolution instead of revo lution was characterized by I)r. Eddy ns the solution of the modern problem.

DEAN DYMENT “POSTED’* “Excessive Absences” At Tennis Class Call for “Drastic Action.” Colin V. Dement, dean of the college of liberal arts and the sciences, has been posted for excessive absences in phy sical education, according to Ham Basi Warner, faculty tennis coach. No ac tion has yet been taken by the proba tion committee, as far as can be de termined. but it is understood that dras tic action is being called for by his in structors in order that an example may be made of his case. According to a statement made by Mr Warner, it seems that Dean Dyment registered for a course in faculty tennis but has thus far confirmed his athletics to playing truant. Close friends of the dean have expressed the hope that he may mend his ways before he becomes EXTEND MONITOR HAS 'HELLO' NUMBER Students Taking Mail Courses To Receive Personal Articles. Students Taking Courses by Mail to Get Acquainted Through Personal Articles. The January issue of the Extension Monitor is to be “handshake and ac quaintance” number, containing some thing interesting about every student taking extension work in the University of Oregon. Many letters have already been re ceived by the extension department, ac cording to Miss Mozelle llair, secretary of extension teaching, from students in every locality throughout the state, tell ing what they are doing now, some thing about where and how they arc living, what, they are planning to do. why they are taking correspondence courses, and any other facts which they might wish to tell about themselves. These student letters are written In re ply to a request sent out by Miss Hair last month to some 600 students en rolled in the various courses offered. lu this letter of request, Miss Hair says: “Don’t spend too much time trying to make your contribution a literary work of art. Don’t try to polish up the writing of these facts; just send them in.” It is believed that this will prove to be one of the most interesting num bers ever published, and will aid greatly in acquainting one student with another in their outside field. rKOSH.

In the first home game of the bC» son played Inst night in the Armory the varsity basketball five trounced «the Chemawa Indian quintet 27 to 18. The slippery condition of the Armory floor was a handicap to both teams. The varsity play was brilliant at times but the passing of the Chemawa men was superior during most of the contest. Coach Holder was well satisfied with the initial home game. The varsity seemed in need of praetive, but whlln they did work together their passing whs all that could be naked for. Captain Eddie Durno was easily the star of the game. He nnnexed three field goals and out of fifteen free throws converted thirteen. The Latham brothers ac counted for four points eaeh. Chemawa played a much better game than imd boon anticipated by Oregon followers. The Oregon men had been expecting an easy contest, but at the end of the first half the score stood 10'to 11 in favor of the home team. The visitors seemed to weaken in the second. period. Nix starred for the Chemawa team. He played a steady game throughout, and made S of tlieir points. A large crowd watched the game, filling practically all of the main floor seats in the Armory.
