VOLUME XXII. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE. OREGON FRIDAY, JANUARY 21. 1921. MMETTETEl STRONG D E C L A RES Former Oregon Student Sends Special Word of Salem Tossers’ Speed. BEARCAT QUINTET IS SUPERIOR TO 0. A. C. Jackson, Center, Knows All About the Game and Shows It. (By Paul P. Farrington, ex-’2l.) Salem, Or., Jan. 20.— (Special to The Emerald.)—If there be any lemon-yel low supporter over-confident that Ore gon is to romp serenely away toward victory when it meets Willamette here \ next Friday, let him boast but little and wager less, lest ridicule and a flat pock et-book be his portion. These Methodists down here haven't a thing but a dozen men who sleep with 'basketballs, shoot with an accuracy that Is painful to the opposition, and work with ft smoothness and finess which would make a body of friendly politicians appear in discord. • Willamette, be it known, hns' souk team. Willamette Bettor Than 0. A. C. No doubt Oregon’s five is superior to that of the Aggies. But so is this quin tet of the Methodists. And although these Salem tossers may favor the enact ment of laws to make blnp Sundays, they don’t let -this love of peace Effect them on Fridays and Saturdays. Regardless of what he really thinks. Coach Mathews is frank to say he ex pects defeat next Friday. "Is that just bunk or—” he. was asked. "No.’ he insisted. “Oregon is un doubtedly far better than the Aggies — a great deal better. And there is another thing to figure iu when you consider Ore gon—members of its teams never quit." And, after this little tribute, which Ik did not intend for publication. Coach Mathews fell silent. Uses Short passes. A ward shout the style of pipy used by the local five. The team confines itself to the short pans. It is executed hwift ly. smoothly, easily among the players as they worm their way back and forth to keep the ball out of their opponent's territory, but so far they have managed, admirably well, to keep it out of tlieif opponent’s hands. In the Wiliam ett.e-O A. C. games the Methodists would fre cjifently have possession of the ball foi (.Continued on Page 2.)

The chapter will meet again Sunday afternoon, Jan. .’>0. at which time Miss Hall will continue the convention report. SMWTHtlON' IS WELL RECEIVED To Run for Remainder of This Week. "Pygmalion,”a comedy by Bernard Shaw, produced under the direction of Fergus Iteddie, was enthusiastically re ceived by, an appreciative audience at its first performance last night in Guild theatre. Charlotte Banfield, as Liza Doolittle, a street flower seller, delighted the audi ence with her vivacious and charming mannerisms. Her transformation from a girl of the gutter who said she “didn’t want to talk grammar but I want to talk like a ioid.v” to a well bred woman was accomplished under the supervision of Henry Higgins, played by Fergus Iteddie, an extremely selfish and over bearing professor of phonetics. Pro ; fessor Iteddie seemed even to surpass his former triumps in Guild theatre. Applause greeted the appearance of Madam Itose McGrew. who played the part of Mrs. Iliggins, mother of Henry. Her portrayal of a mother’s anxieties over an excentric son was superb. Manford Michael, as Colonel Pickering, and Irene Hugh, as Mrs. Pearce, played their parts well as friends of Henry Hig gins. Novell Thompson, as Alfred Doo little, a dustman who couldn’t “afford morals” and was proud and happy to be one of the “undeserving poor”, gave the audience many a chance to laugh. So many persons were turned away last night that it was decided to give “Pygmalion” again tonight, as well as tomorrow evening. PRESIDENT MAKES TRIP. President Campbell was in Portland yesterday on business in connection with the sohool of medicine; he expects to re turn to the campus this evening. On the return trip the president will make a brief stop at Salem for the pur pose of a visit to the legislature, now in session. Underclass Mix Started _ 1913; Begun by Juniors By Mary Lou Burton. Did you ever stop to wonder how the Dregon traditions got started. There is Hello Lane” and the imiior corduioys, and the underclass mix. mid--but we're Roing to tell you about the mix now and • he others later. Once upon a time, in the year 191?! A. D.. 2” seniors were yanked up on the oarl>et for attempting to place the frosh ot that year in their proper relation to the University. from then on there was a deep-felt need of a method to properly key down, subdue, subjugate and otherwise ehasten the first year men. The juniors of 191?! undertook to supply this need, and to them belongs the credit for the institu tion of the, underclass mix. JU'. 1 Thr tradition has since flurished and prospered. Every fall sees Kincaid field the no-raan's land of a desperate strug gle between freshmen and those who were freshmen but one short year ago. Senior policemen with stars the size of dinner plates insure fair play on the field, and Dean Straub sits in the grand stand, or nearby, and insists that justice be done. Many and varied are the forms of contest. There is always a flag snatch ing, a sand bag contest, tug of war, and other manly sports. The sophomores have to date an un broken record of winning. This proves that one year at the University makes i superior men of them. For. as above stated, it is always insured to be a j “square mix.” t ' MEN'S GLEE TO GIVE CONCERT IN PORTUND ON FRIDAY. JIN. 28 Mme. McGrew, Operatic So. ( prano, to Make Appear i ance on Program. EVANS’ ‘OREGON PLEDGE SONG’ WILL BE SUNG 22 Men Making Trip Will Leave Early and Have Lunch at Club. The first concert by the University of Oregon’s Men’s Glee Club to be given in Portland for several years will be staged in the Municipal Auditorium on Friday evening, Jan. 28. Madame Ilose McGrew, head of the voice department of the University school of music, will accompany the club as guest artist. “We will present a strong, well-bal anced program which should interest everyone” was the comment of John Stark Evans, director of the club. The first is the heaviest part of the pro gram. he continued. The stage lights will be dimmed for the second part which is made up of negro melodies. The last part is lightest of all, consisting largely of yaudeville sketches, while the closing number is a medley of Oregon songs. The program has a strong start and works up to a “knock-out” in the humor ous selections of the last part. Besides the numbers in the program the club is well supplied with very light encores so they feel that the audience can be kept “on its toes” dtfring the whole evening. 22 Will Make Trip. Twenty-two men are to make thp trip. The concert is to be given under the auspices of the Ellison-White Ly ceum Bureau and is being advertised ex tensively. according to the Glee Glub management, to a great extent through the University alumni. The club will leave Eugene Friday morning in order to reach Portland in time to attend a luncheon given in their honor by the University Club. A few songs will probably be sung while there. The ’’Oregon Pledge Song” written by Sir. Evans will be sung in Portland for the first time at this concert. The song was written last fall to be used as an opening number for concerts. It was to take the place of the mottos sung by many eastern clubs at the beginning of (Continued on Page 4.) 110 IK SERVICE PROPOSED FOR COISI Accommodations Do Not War rant Oregon’s Entering. Unless the University provides other accommodations than those which at i present exist in the physics laboratory in dead}’ hall Oregon will not be represent [ ed among the other Pacific coast insti tutions in a proposed wireless news ser vice. “I find it incompatible with present conditions to allow students to use the wireless set,” declared I)r. Boynton. He | said would-be operators~were permitted use the physics laboratory last year, and wireless instruction which was not rec ognized in the curriculum did not work successfully. To give the wireless plant over to the University publication for radio service would mean that there would be an objectionable access of stu dents to the laboratory, intimated Dr Boynton. The sending set is capable of trans mitting messages to Seattle, Tacoma, and other points more distant, said Dr Boynton. There are several wireless operators in the University willing t<: give part of their time to the receiving and transmission of messages K the use of the plant can be nrrauged for The proposed radio service connecting the Pacific soast institutions by wireless which would be used in transmitting the reports of games, and perhaps in con junction with the Pacific Intercollegiate Press Association in reporting events oi ail kinds was suggested by the Universitj of Washington Badio club. O. A. C. ac cepted the suggestion, and University oi Oregon, University of California. Lelane Stanford University aucl other coast in stitutions having wireless will be inelud ed in the radio circuit if they accepl the proposed plan. Coach Bohler Says Team Hopes to Break Even in Trip Contests. REGULAR VARSITY LINE-UP TO START Opponents Rated High States Trainer But They Are Not Unbeatable. “We will be well pleased if we can break even in tlie games on this trip,” Coach George M. Bolder said last night, in speaking of the team’s chances for wins in the games to be played in the northern trip and in the two games with Willamette to be played tonight and to morrow night. In the opinion of Bolder if the team can win as Inany as they lose on the trip, the return games to be (played here in Eugene will not cause any great worry. The Willamette team is going to prove one of the strongest of the three which will be met before the varsity returns to Eugene, according to all reports. Wil lamette handed the Oregon Aggies a drubbing at Corvallis, Tuesray night, by a score of 36 to 19, and in the opinion Of witnesses it wa's an earned victory. The Aggies never had a chance with the Willamette five, and the size .of the score would indicate the difference in strength. However, the Aggies held Willamette to a one point lead in the game which the two teams played at Salem last Friday evening. Willamette Good Shuts. “Willamette has a good team,” Boh ler said yesterday, “they have the same men back who played the game for them jlast year, and they arc a polished ag gregation.” Bolder believes they arc not unbeatable and has been working his team to take advantage of the defects in the team work of the Willamette five since he witnessed the game at Cor vallis the other night. The Willamette five arc wonders at long shots although a number of their baskets in the Aggie game were luck shots. They still lack some of the smoother points in team work. In the opiaion of Bolder the Wil lamette five did not piny up to the class that the varsity did in the last Saturday night game with the Chemawa Indians here. The line-up to start the game tonight given out by the coach before the team left will be the same as the one which started against Chemawa: Bellar and Keinhart at guards, “Hunk” Latham at , center, and “Marc” Latham and Duruo at forwards, “Nish” Chapman will be the sixth man to be taken on the trip and it is probable that he will be worked at guard during the game tonight in place of cither lleinhart or Bellar. . Guards Will Do Good Work. Bohler is of the opinion that the guards will hold the Willamette forwards down tonight; he was well pleased with the playing of both Bellar and Reinhart in keeping the Chemawa forwards out from the basket, and he believes that Willamette will not get in any more often. O. A. C. is weak in the guard de partment according to witnesses of the game there, and it was this that enabled the Willamette five to run up tlie big score they did. The team will not return here over Sunday, but will leave Salem Sunday for Pullman where they will play Washing ton State on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, going from Pullman to Seattle to meet the University of Washington quin tet on Friday and Saturday nights. These games in the north are going to furnish some stiff competition as both Washing ton teams are rated high this year, and the varsity will face a hard schedule in | the four games to be played there. $135 POSITION OFFERED Country High School Wants Teacher English and Latin. of A teaching position iu a country high school, with a salary of $135 a month, is open to a young woman who is qualified to teach English and Latin, says Dr. II.

Professor A. II. Schroff reports that he has begun work on one of the two large mural paintings that are to grace either end of the big main room of the woman’s building. Only the first rough sketches have been completed on the first of these, whose theme is that of a Greek landscape. The decoration will be allegorical in treatment. Mr. Schroff plans to show the coming of Ceres, god dess of Spring, to the tnnldens and lambs who ore waiting to receive her. He has not yet chosen the subject for the other mural and he does not expect to have time to work on it for some weeks. The professor does a groat, deal of work outside of his class room. In fact he devotes a greater pnrt of his summer vacation to painting and makes pilgrim ages to various sections of the country for this purpose. Professor Schroff^has done many very fine pieces of work flint have received places in art. exhibits all over the country. With his practical knowledge of the arts he lias played an important part in making the art depart ment of the University a very fine one. Professor Schroff is not alone in his department, in the endeavor to make the University beautiful with art decorations. Mr. Fairbanks is working on a statue of a mother sending her < ltild into the | world for education. No doubt this will j be offered to the University to be placed ! on the campus in some spot not yet de termined upon. A prize is being offered by the school of architecture to the. student who does the best mural painting for the decora tion of a building.

While the score of the Kappa Sig-S. A. E. battle is suggestive of a somewhat one-sided contest this was not the case. Both teams were playing their best brand of ball, and the score did not favor the victors until the last of the first half when they began to forge ahead, the half ending 9-7 for the victors. The second half was characterized by the same hard fighting and good team work on the part of both sides, but the Kappa Sigs here began to take the lead and increased it slowly until the final whistle blew. Kays, S. A. E. forward, was the out standing player of bis team, making sis of the ten points scored by them. Ford, center, and Liebe, guard, each annexed a field basket completing the score.
