CONTEST IS ONLY LOSS OF OREGON, IN SEASON “Varsity Has Off Night/’ Says Coach Bohler,; Meet Again Tonight. University of Washington, Seattle, Jan. 28.— (Special to the Emerald.) — Coining from behind in the last five initiates of play, the Washington varsity quintet took the first game of a two game series from Oregon here tonight, 36 to 31. This is the first conference game Oregon has lost this season. Oregon’s passing and shooting seemed to be on a par with that of the Sun Dodgers, but a streak of luck in the lat ter part of . the game turned the tide in favor of the Puget Sound five. The lemon-yellow five led throughout most of the game, the first half ending 17 to 11 in favor of the Eugene tossers. Eddie Durno starred for Oregon, out foxing the Washington guards time after time, and slipping the ball through the hoop for counters seemingly at will. Coach Bohler attributed the loss to luck,’ saying, “They were going good, while our men had an off night.” Tiie line-up: Washington—36. Oregon—31 Talbot.F.Durno Lewis.F.M. Latham Sielk.C....II. Latham Bryan.G.Bellar Crawford.G.Chapman By Harold Marquis. Sports Editor, TJ. of W. Daily. Fniversity of Washington. Seattle, •Tan. 27. — (Special) — Speedy and full of fight, but lacking in size and experi ence, the University of Washington bas ketball team will have its hands full this week when it meets the Oregon quintet for two games on the Sun Dodger floor. Handicapped by lack of experienced material at the outset of the season and by injuries to several members of the squad, Coach Dec Edmundson has de veloped a team that with practice and experience should be a winner. Only two letter men. Captain Arch Talbot, forward, and Leo Nicholson, running guard, reported this season. The balance of the team was picked from the frosh varsity of last ycaiT and the sec ond string varsity. Evan Lewis, Jimmy Bryan, Ob Gardner and .Toe Mapes graduated from the yearling string to the varsity squad, while Scotty Sanders, Windy Crawford and Henry Sielk were available from the 1!)20 subs. Mapes, second center on the squad, has been out of the game practically all season with an injured knee, and Nich olson. has been kept from play by a broken finger. ITe was able to take his place for a few minutes in both W. S. 1 • games and may be able to work against Oregon. His exceptional work on long shots is a big asset to the team. TTiHi Nicholson out of the line-up the Sun Dodgers will take the floor with the same formation that mot the Cougars last week in Pullman.

The School of Commerce, in co-opera j tion with tlie Portland Chamber of Com ' merce, has been sending speakers to the I programs held in connection with tlie I Foreign Trade Exhibit in that city. The exhibit, which is to continue during the entire month of January, is being carried , on at the Central Library, and programs are held every Wednesday evening. Pro fessors Lomax and Denfeld have made talks on two of these occasions, and Dean ; Robbins spoke there last evening. ' The idea of the exhibit was first form | ulated by Frank I. White, former trade secretary of the Portland Chamber of 1 Commerce. The purpose of this is to create an interest in foreign trade by getting the co-operation of e.xporters and importers. Each is to put on exhibit the material manufactured or dealt in. This is the most complete exhibit of rits kind ever held in Portland, and has ibcen attended by hundreds of people, (many of whom had no idea of the extent .and variety of products which came (through Portland, or originated there. I Tn sending speakers to the programs, the School of Commerce shows its desire to co-operate with every progressive .movement to further the interests of j i commerce in general, and especially in this state. ’MEETING IS PROPOSED Changes in Association Football Rulings Might Be Made. Stanford University. Jan. 2S.— A meet ing of the Pacific Coast Football Asso ciation to discuss any changes officials on the coast may desire to make in foot ball rulings 1ms been suggested by Coach Walter Powell in a letter to J. R. Kla wans. president of the association. Coach Powell was recently made a member of the national rules committees on foot ball and is endeavoring to learn what suggestions western officials will want placed before (lie committee at its meet ing in tlie near future. Klawans lias written Powell asking him tn set a date for the meeting, in whieli ease he will then summon all (he officials and coaches to be present and air any ideas they may have on the subject. Students full of “Pip” in 1912; They call it Pep Now " aJ' back in 1912 coaches, used to ""UT just as much because students bull'd to show any signs of “phi” as lh,T do now at a lack of “pep.” “Pip” was “pep” in those days. < in Sept. 25, 1913. the University ex tension building, an entirely wooden structure just finished the day before, ('«ught fire at 2 o’clock in the morning an,l burned to the ground. The building "■is located twenty-five feet from Mc 1 lure hall, and the firemen had great difficulty in saving both McClure and the shack nearby. The building had been put up at a cost of $600, part of an ap propriation granted that year to help lake care of the growth of the extension di’.ision. It was rebuilt and is now the Journalism shack. A new instrument of torture for- flic chastisement of freshmen has been de vised by some sophomore geniuses at the Kappa Kig house,” says the Emerald of October 2, 11)13. The diabolical ma chine was patterned after the old New England ducking stool, being a long beam with a chair on one end and swung on a pivot. The unlucky frosh was placed in the chair, swung out over the race and gently dipped into the cooling waters below. They were very proud of their invention, it is said, because it did away with the old-time clumsy meth od of mill-racing. Just why the brilliant scheme has been abandoned, no one seems to know. The first journalistic organization on the campus was the University Press Club formed on October ■’>. 1!>12 with seven members. *It has since been dis i continued. Metropolitan Opera Star One of Foremost American Tenors. ! BIG GU ARANTIEE MADE | TO BOOK ATTRACTION —_ (Seat Price Will Not Be Made ! Higher; “Better Music” L Policy Is Aim. Caul Altbouse, of flic Metropolitan Opera Company, one of (lie foremost American tenors, will appear in concert in Yillard hall on the evening of Feb ruary 10. This is the second number in the series of cojicerts being brought to the campus by the Oregon Music Coun cil. Mr. Altbouse lias made a name for himself not only in the creation of oper atic roles and grand opera parts* sung but also by bis rapid rise in the world of music. lie had just won bib first successes as a concert singer on the Festival tour of the New York Symph ony Orchestra when lie was engaged first by the Metropolitan Opera Com pany. Having had no previous stage ex perience of any kind lie spent the sum mer preceding the opera season study ing the technique of the stage and ac quiring an operatic repertoire. Unlike most of the young singers of the Metro politan, wlio are obliged to serve a long apprenticeship before being entrusted with the important parts, Mr. Altbouse was selected to create in America the leading tenor role of Boris C.odonouff, and following that the part of the “Duke” in Victor Herbert’s opera ! “Madeleine.” Had Many Successes. After several successes of this kind Mr. Althougse sang the part of 1’inkerton i-n “Madame Butterfly” in a special per formance ii; which Geraldine Farrar took the part of the “Butterfly.” This, bis first big leading role, was. followed by j others such as Mario in “Tosea.” Tur ridu in “Cavallerin Busticnna,” and other parts made famous by Caruso. Bast season Mr Altbouse created the principal tenor role in Charles Wake field Cadman’s American opera “Shanew is,” and this season kept up his record by beiilg cast for (lie title role in the production of Webster’s “Oberon.” Honey is Mated. Tn bringing attractions such ns the Althon.se concert to the University the Oregon Music Council is carrying out a “Bettor music” policy, the object of wliie his to give the students and the people' of Eugene musical numbers that ordinarily would not come here, ac cording to Dean John .T. Landsbury, of the school of music. Entertainments of this class cannot be beard in towns of the size of Eugene because a large enough guarantee cannot be given. With the co-operation of the students such a guarantee can be made. The support of the Theo Karle concert given during the term pleased the man agement of the council. As a result of that concert a little money is in the treasury which will be expended if ne cessary to tlm success of the Althouso concert, the ideitf being, as expressed by Dean Landsbury, “to put on these en tertainments at a minimum of loss.” Standouts Get Reductions. The guarantee made in order to secure the concert is twice as great as the one made Theo Karle, said Vincent Ingled iuger. However, the prices will not: be made twice as great. Arrangements wdh the student body officers have been made so that a 50 cent reduction on either kind of ticket will be made on presentation of the student body activ ity ticket. Up until lost year O. A. C. supported good concerts better than the Univer sity did. said Dean Landsbury. The sup port of the Jacques Thibaud and Theo Karle concerts bear witness to a change in sentiment on the part of the students and University patrons. If this support continues more and more concerts can be given. The promise of the council made when the Karle concert v. as to he proposed that if it was a success others would be staged is to be kept, said Ingledinger. It is still in the hands of the students to j make the concert series a success or a failure, however. -- COURSE IN BIBLIOGRAPHY.

Babes Are Better Than in Roseburg Game. The freshman basketball team proved their decided superiority over the Frank lin high school team of Portland yester day afternoon by defeating them by a score of 28 to 11. The game played by tin' frosh was far better than that which they put against the Roseburg quintet last week-end. The Franklin team fought hard, though handicapped by tin' loss of three of their regulars. Paplsmi the regular center was out wilhj an injured foot, and two men, .Tones and Kelley, were . unable to make the trip from Portland. The passing game put up by the frosh was far better than anything they have previously shown Ibis season. Alstock was the high point man for Oregon mak ing six free throws count, and scoring six field baskets, for » total of 18 points. Black and Douglas both put up an ex cellent game at guard, and it was their close playing that held the Franklin boys to three field baskets. The Oregon line-up was tin' same as started the game against Roseburg last week but the boys have pepped up con siderably since that time. Young Rock hey promises to be a second Eddie Dur no. Ilis shooting is very accurate and he is as fast as lightning. His man seldom gets away from him and his floor work is excellent. “Shy” was well satisfied with the way the freshmen handled the Franklin team. “The team is picking up and is looking a lot better than they did against Roseburg last week,” he said. The men all seem to be in beter condi tion than before and are able to stand u)) through the whole period. “Shy” kept in his starting line-up until near the end of the game when he sent in three substitutes at one time, an\l one more shortly after. The Franklin high team goes from here to Corvallis where they will meet the Rooks tomorrow night. The team line-ups were as follows: Frosh—23.

The junior and senior girls of Hen dricks hall acted as hostesses at a de lightful reception given Count Tlya Tol stoi 'Wednesday evening after his lecture. The affair was informal and the Count was served tea and lemon in a glass in Russian style. About forty or fifty of the faculty, townspeople and students ' called to meet the Count. Time Between Matinee and Evening too Short. Tonight between the matinee and evening performance of the “Two Gen tlemen of Verona” the cast will dine in costume in true Italian style, because there will he no time to drop out of khe Shakespearean created Vernon life to the modern and hack again by the hour of the evening performance. And under the duke’s table, mingling with all the gentlemen-dogs that are there, will he “Grab” alias Caesar, al ready a campus figure in drama since the first showing of the comedy Thursday. The play, given but a week following “Pygmalion,” has been put on with ■ the least amount of preparation of any play given in Guild theatre. Characteristic of the department this year which is out doing itself in the number of plays given in a season, it shows what the students can really accomplish in this line. Stock companies usually do no more than one play a week on the professional stage, where they put in full time at the work, while here the students are engaged in tlioir regular line of work throughout the week, ‘BIZARRE BAZAAR’ HELD Pot anti Quill and I e Tabard Inn Have Interesting Program. “The Bizarre Bazaar” was the name of the program given at the joint meet ing of Pot and Quill and Vo Tabard Inn literary societies Thursday evening at the home of Lillian Auld on Patterson Street.

A group of dialect poems were read by ^Iiss Margaret Nelson, and after re freshments the program closed with a short play “Lima Bean” acted by Lorna Coolidge and Reuben Goffriere. BEARS DEFEAT 0. A. C. Score of 33 to Iti Run Up On Aggies In First Game of Series. University of California, Berkeley, Jan. 2X. — (Special to the Emerald.) — In the first game with O. A. C. here to night the California Bears defeated the northerners by the score of .3,3 to 10. California showed superior team work throughout, though they were hotly pushed at intervals by their opponents. Stinson, O. A. C. forward, starred for the visitors, making 13 out of the 16 points for his team. California Coach Has Good Record. According To Professor. IS GIVEN CREDIT FOR DEVELOPING STARS Developed Freshman Squad Which Was More Than Varsity Equal. That (\ M. “Nibs” Price, assistant football and baseball coach at the Uni versity of California is receiving serious consideration as a possible successor to "Shy” Huntington is the information which Professor II. C. Howe, chairman of the athletic council gave out yester day afternoon. In the opinion of Pro fessor Howe it is not at all improbable that Price will be the selection for the position. Dean Bovard and A. It. Tiffany, the two members of the committee inquiring into the possibilities for a new coach who returned from Berkeley Thursday night, made their report to chairman Howe, yesterday, and this report will be presented at the meeting of the council which will be held either Monday afternoon or evening, according to Howe. “In my estimation “Nibs” Price is a coach of equal calibre to “Shy” Hunt ington.” Professor Howe said, “and he can hardly be classed as a coach of in ferior ability. I believe that there is a little misunderstanding among the stu dents on the campus ns to his ability, and the real faets ns to his reputation and standing at Berkeley and throughout the state of California, should be explained.” Coached San Diego High. Price was coach of the San Diego high school team for three years, According to Howe, from there lie went to the University of California as freshman coach in l!>t!). The men who had play ed with his championship high school team attended California that year and Price developed with the aid of" some of these men a team which could defeat th(> varsity eleven at any time during the season. Muller, California’s star end who re reived so much favorable eonunent for bis work in the California-Ohio State College game is one of the men who Price developed at San Diego high school and at California last year. Sprot.t, the fast halfback. Majors, captain of the California team, Eels, half and full back, , Barnes, guard, Deeds, halfback and ■ Engelbreitsen, end, are other members of the California championship team whom Price personally developed at Cal ifornia. , There can be no doubt that California had the best team in the country this year. Yet the reports come from the Berkeley campus that the freshman team which “Nibs” Price developed there could defeat the varsity at any time the Ipast season, said Ilovve. Price a Backfield Coach. “Nibs" Price’s work with the varsity eleven has been that of backfield coach and strategy coach during the past two 'seasons, according to Professor Howe and others who hove kept in touch with the coaching situation at Berkeley. That Andv Smith will not be hired at Cali fornia when his present contract ex pires is the opinion of a great number of the California players and student body sentiment, and that “Nibs” Price is his logical successor is the opinion of these students and players. Professor Howe stated last night that he had kept in touch with the situation at California and he knew absolutely that the greater pari of the credit for (Continued on Page 4.)
