For the boys from the south Whipple, by his ’ consistent w o r k showed up best. At the start of the game the Oregon men proved their superiority both in shooting field baskets and in many neat, long passes. Alstock who started the game at forward for the frosli was soon replaced by Wilse.v. The Oregon guards were playing in rare form as is evidenced by the fact that but one field basket was shot by Roseburg during the entire first half of the contest. This was made by Whipple near the close of the half by a sensational overhead shot that brought a round of applause from the rooting section. The half ended with the score 10-4 in favor of the frosh.

Blackman went in for McMillan at center and Edlunds replaced Gore who previously substituted for Black. Roseburg came back strong at the start of the second half and in a few moments scored three field baskets.

The result is divided by the number of students in the house. making up the averages honor grades count as zero!- one as one. wo as two. three as three, four as four, five as five, condition six and fail - ure as seven.

Edison Marshall, Oregon's Noted Novelist, Runs Income Info 5 Figures; Enjoys Life Edison Marshall. making every year i a small fortune, finds that time hangs heavily on his hands. In two months, he says, lie produces two novels, which is the limit set on him by publishers. During the other ten months he is con tinually seeking some means to kill time. Marshall, be it known, is Oregon's own famous writer. A few years ago he came to the University from Med ford. where he had learned to operate a typewriter in a newspaper office. An unknown freshman, with ambitions to be editor of the Oregon Emerald some day. he took about every writing course in the institution. In those courses where he had a chance to write, he surprised the instructors by submitting more than the number of manuscripts called for and they returned to him a pleasing grade. In Spanish and psychology., which lie was forced to take in order to fill out his schedule, lie received an out and-out flunk. And lie simply couldn’t j find time to take the prescribed course in gym. In all lie stayed here two years, finally giving up the idea of taking a degree. And now he is a recognized national figure in the writing world. “Eddie” Marshall came back to his University this weekend to look the place over again. lie hadn’t been here for al-> most two years, and he admits that the place has changed. lie still looks like a college man, and admits a hankering to hang around Eugene. He is married too, and he brought Mrs. Marshall along. But lie still is full of tales about the merry life when he was an undergradu ate here, and recounts tlie.se experiences with as much pleasure as any other Oregon man. ^ < t 1 ~ Eddie- started writing short stories when he first came to college. While he was in one of Professor Thacher’s shortstory writing classes, oue of his stories was accepted by an eastern pub-* linlior. In spite of the fact that his Eng lish instructors were still making dis couraging comments on the stories he submitted to them, he decided on writ ing ns his future career. That was when he flunked Spanish and psychology. In 1!)1(> lie sold several short stories and started out on the road to writing fame. In 1017 he sold a few more, but the war came on and he dropped his typewriter for the more adventurous life in the service, lie came back in 1010 and since then lias never failed to sell everything he produced. Last year, he definitely swung over from the short story field to the longer novel game. His stories are about the outdoors. “Every one loves the outdoors,” he said. “I love it, and I am going to keep on writing about it.” Of the total population of the country, he explain ed, the larger part live in cities, where they long for the outdoors. It is to these people that his stories have a special appeal. He wrote his first novel in nineteen days. The. proceeds from the sales of the various rights on this book, amount ed to about $13,000. This novel, “The Voice of The Pack,” has been sold to a motion-picture corporation, which will film the novel near Medford. “The Strength of the Pines” is to appear shortly in book form, and is now run ning serially in a national magazine “The Man of the North” will start as a serial soon in some magazine, and then will follow other outdoor stories bj Oregon's own writer. Eddie'is not worried about his future. “What do you plan to do ten years from now?” he was asked. “Don’t know,” lie said. “Probably write the same things as I do "now.” He believes his novels will always have a market. Two novels each year is horv he wins fame and fortune. And Eddie has ten months in which to loaf. INFIRMARY DOUBLED WORK IN DECEMBER Tonsilitis Cases Decrease In Fall, Says Report.

Kerensky Says that American capital ists are looting Russia. Me know our capitalists would do such a thing, but we did not know they had moved.— Editorial, University Daily Kansan. “Have Women Earning Power of Men?” Is Discussed. Whether women have a right to as niiirli compensation for their work as men and whether women are able to take the responsibility ol' supporting a home as well as a man were two of the topics under discussion at the first meeting of the Industrial Forum, Thurs day evening, at the V. W. "C. A. bunga low. The Forum was organized with Jessie Todd chairman and Jennie Maguire sec retary. These will be the only offices, according to Miss Hinsdale, for the chief purpose of the meetings is to discuss industrial problems. About -11 girls at tended tliis first meeting. Tlie discussion was led by Dean K. C. Robbins after two papers by Jessie Todd and Mrs. 15. S. Mittleman had been read. The subject taken up by these papers was “Women in industry.” “Compari son of large and small factories,” and the advantages and disadvantages of these factories. Mrs. Mittleman spoke from her experience in the factories of Chicago. Some girls thought that women should not receive as much money for their work us men because they spent such a short time in a profession, but others were of the opinion that regardless of this women should receive as much com pensation as the working man. These discussions will become more interesting as the meetings continue and a much larger attendance is expected next time, Miss Dinsdale says. The Industrial Forum will meet every Thursday evening from 7 :”>0 to 8:1.50 to discuss industrial problems. POMONA PLANS STADIUM.

NEW MEMBERS ELECTED TO BOARD AT MEETING Bovard and Bolitho Chosen as, Faculty Representatives For Two Years. The gross sales of the Co-op for the quarter from October 1 to December 31.1 amounted to $17,5-10.35, according to the report given at the stockholders meet ing held in Villard hall yesterday after noon. Based on the inventory of De cember 31, the net profit from these sales amounts to $1,490. “Thtf stockholders and directors seem to be well satisfied with the start we have made,” said Marion McClain, grad uate manager and manager of the Co op. “our business for the three months is exceeded by $2,000 the total business done during the school year of 1910-17 by the old Co-op.” Two amendments to the by-laws were passed and five members of the board of directors were elected at yesterday’s meeting. The board is composed of seven mein-) bers, two of whom are. elected from the faculty and five from the student body. Doan-J. F. Bovard was re-elected a member and T. J. Bolitho, professor of commerce, will succeed D. Walter Mor ton. former dean of the school of com merce. Arthur Base and Nelson Eng lish are the newly-elected sophomore members who are chosen for two-year terms. Charles Thompson was elected freshman representative, to hold office j for one year.

VARSITY MEN DECIDE TO PADDLE INVADERS Sacred Portals of “O” Room at Gym Must Be Respected, Says H. Foster, President. "All hope abandon, ye who enter here.” Or at least all those who have not the right to wear the Lemon “O”. This is the decision of the members o! the Order of the “O”, Oregon’s letter men’s association in regard to the var sity room at the gym. Let any unwary frosh. sophomore junior or senior fail to observe the trn ( it ion of the inviolability of the varsity men’s room and he will meet with pun ishment in the form of gentle taps ad ministered to that portion of the anat omy most used when resting. Take heed, men. as these said taps will probably be dispensed by such puny youngsters as Carl Manta, “Nish” Chap man and “Spike” Leslie. Carl -Manta has offered to provide the pacifier which will be the official instru ment of justice.' and the Order of the “O” is practically unamimous in the statement that all will be glad to assist in dealing out retribution. Tim privilege of the exclusive use of the varsity room by letter men is a tra dition of ancient standing at Oregon At a recent meeting the members of the Order of the “O” decided that it was not being obeyed properly, and are now going to see that all men in college live up to it. So the order is now issued by presi dent “Hank” Foster. Ignorance .of the law is no excuse. FRENCH CLUB PLANS FOR VISITORS’ NIGHT Students Wish to Meet Prospective Members; Program Is Prepared.

FACULTY FUND TO 1 Committee Raising Money for War-torn Institutions. liaising money for the relief of stu dents and professors of Austria and the stricken Slavic countries is a phase of the southern European relief work which is being undertaken by a University faculty committee, according to Pro fessor E. S. Dunn, of the Latin depart ment, who is chairman. The money raised on the campus will be applied toward the .$1,000,000 asked by Herbert Hoover to enable the insti tutions of higher education in the war torn countries to continue their work. Mr. Hoover is national chairman and manager of the American llelicf Asso ciation, which is doing the work. “Conditions arc tragic,” says Profes sor Dunn. “We must help maintain •their colleges and universities because they are the source of the light and ad vancement that is needed so much.” During the years of the war, the work of higher educational institutions was at a standstill. Many of the best educated and trained men and women gave up their lives in the war, and the need for special training now is impera tive if these southern European coun tries are to he rehabilitated, he states. It is' next to impossible for these students to work their way through college be cause there is little chance for half time workers to get anything to do. ow ing to the tremendous amount of un employment everywhere. A suit of clothes costs more than a student can earn in six months, seven hours a day at clerical work. As for the woman student, a dress and a pair of shoes cost all she can make by giving one thousand lessons in tutoring. More thuu one-fourth of the students in many places live on two meals a day, and the meals they have are often only black bread and thin soup. The plan of relief is to establish kit chens near the •colleges where the stu dents can do all the work connected with them. Farms will be taken over, and students will raise vegetables for their own use. It is hoped that the health of the students will improve when better food and living conditions are provided. Ten dollars for each studeut will relieve immediate needs and start the institu tions on a self-supporting basis. Professor Dunn, as chairman of the faculty committee, lias appointed one faculty member in each building to can vass for the relief fund. He says the work is getting well underway. Lemon-Yellow Center Jerked Out for Five Fouls In Second Period. DITRNO MAKES ALMOST HALF OF TOTAL SCOR* Expected Rally Overcome By Oregon Fight; Rooters Dejected. By Paul R. Farrington, ex-'2l. Salem, Oregon, Jan. 21.—(Special to the Emerald.)—All Salem in generAl and n certain Willamette University in par ticular were rather forcefully ^ntroduetsl to Oregon methods tonight when a Lem on-Yellow basketball team, handicapped by the loss of center “Hunk” Latham, benched by personal fouls, returned to the floor in the second half and jammed Oregon fight down their opponeftta throats for a 27 to 22 victory. ■ The opinion recently expressed by Coach Mathews of Willamette that an Oregon team would not quit wan admtir ably sustained by tire performance Eugene team before a packed armofy here this evening. The first half end^tjj with n 11 to 11 tie and the shouts of • prematurely - cheered Willamette rootew section made the building sound like'tbo dangerous ward in a mad house. the entire first period the two fives bit tied neck and neck continuously and- it was not until the second period that tho Lemon-Yellow quintet was able to main tain a consistent lead. Although Eddie Durno was conceded to be far from “right” it was thedi* mimiiti' c Oregon captain who regiataygd 13 of the visitors counters. Mare &i' tham annexed eight of the pointers and the remainder were scored by tbe angn lor “Hunk” who was jerked out in<J|e second period after five personal fools hod been chalked against him. Several hundred Willamette students who had been told between halves that a rally would be staged immediately after the game are walking the streets With their chins warming their cheats. At no time before the opening of the second period had they felt that, the Oregon five could solve the passing system of ttaWr team. Willamette’s passing, be it. known, is nothing short of excellent and it wis nothing less than an irrestible offensive that, won for the Eugene team. Durno converted but G out of 9 ftee throws, while Gillette made one and M'cKittrick three from tbe foul line. ■Summary: Oregon—27. Willamatto—22 Durno If!..'. .B’P.Wapto • M. Latham 8.F.Gillette 8 H.
