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

j In West.
; At a meeting of the Beta Chapter of
Zeta Kappa Psi, women’s national hon
orary forensic fraternity, held Wednes

ond as well as the first chapter of wo
men’s national forensic .fraternity in the
west.

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.”

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

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.

SCHROFF WORKING ON
MURAL DECORATION
Greek Landscape Subject of Painting for
Either End of Hall In
Woman’s Building.
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.

for the championship in the near fu

Delta to the mat for the count m their
initial contest and the deciding gome
should be a good one ns each of tho
teams have lost but one game.
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.
Andre, forward for the Kappa Sigs
was the big point getter, converting three
field baskets and four free throws out
of five trials. Blackman, the new een

field goal in both halves. Each man or
