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.

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

and never to be forgotten glee. '

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.

they make when singing with the othei
voices. 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.’

tures of Oregon newspaper law” were

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

Articles.
The January issue of the Extension
Monitor is to be “handshake and ac

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

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

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.
The crowd was largely composed df
townspeople but there was also a good
