CENTER STAR OF GAME
Buns Up Total of 15 Points
for Team; Oregon Guards
, Work Well.
The O. A. O. Rooks proved to be too
much for the Frosh basketeers yesterday
afternoon, and the first year men took
a 21 to 9 defeat, in the first of a two
game series to be played here. The
Frosh were outclassed from the start,
but kept, up a game fight throughout
the contest. The game was fast, and the
score is a poor indication of the fight
shown by the frosh. During the last
half, the frosh were unable to annex a
single field goal, their lone tatty being
made on a converted foul.
At the beginning of the first half,
the frosh looked as though they would
be able to give the Aggies a hard run.
but after the Rooks hit their stride,
they held their lead throughout the game.
The first half ended 12 to 8 in favor of
the Rooks, the game being all in favor
of the Corvallis^ contingent during the
second canto.
- Inability to convert fouls was one of
the faults of the freshmen. Allstoek con
verted only one counter out of the sev
eral fouls called on the O. A. O. babes,
while Hjelte rarely missed a chance to
hook a free throw.
The Rooks started oflrtt by annexing
the first point on a free throw’. Hjelte,
the Rook captain and center, making the
free throw good. The Frosh came back
and jumped into the lead when Francis
Altstock scored a field basket. Hjelte
converted two more fouls, and Altstock
made another field basket. Oregon held
the lead for a few minutes, and then the
rangy Rook center began to chalk up
scores regularly and O. A. C. held their
position from that time on.
lu tue second half Oregon was never
close enough to the Kooks to cause them
much worry. The 0.*A. C. quintet piled
iqi eight jioints, while the Oregon babes
i ere only able to annex one.
Iljelte was the star of the game. He
j\vas working all the time and was big’ll
P'iut man for the Aggies His heighth
gii'e him the advantage of the tip off,
and the Rooks were able to gain consid
erable advantage from this fact. He
played the floor well, and his size made
it easy for him to guard the smaller
Oregon men. He did most of the point
getting for his team, seoring four field
baskets and converting seven free throws
out of eleven attempts, a total of fifteen
points.
The guard combination of Chapman
and Douglas played very good ball for
Oregon. It was the work <of this pair
that held the Rooks score down as low
as it was. Neither one of the men
slacked up during the entire game and
between them they kept the O. A. C
forward combination to only six points
McMillan played the best game that hr
has played this year. He follower
Hjelte all the time, and prevented thr
Rook man from scoring many times. Hi
was unable to get the tip off but wai
on his man all the time. He scored om
field basket. Rockhey and Altstoci
both had an off day. They both workei
hard but could not get free. Rockhe;
luok many shots at the basket that hov
ererl on the edge, but dropped outside
Altstock scored seven points, and ban
luck kept a number of his shots fron
dropping. The principal trouble fo
both was the fact that neither passe
well. They took long shots when passe
might have meant a score.
Oregon only made one substitution dui
ing the entire game. That was in tb
last half when Blackman was sent i
for McMillan. O’. A. C. sent in Cran
,r|r Garrity at the start of the secon
half, and later sent in Ryan for Cran
iaggert was substituted for Richards i
tbe last period also.

FRESHMEN ENTERTAIN
ENJOYABLY AT DANCE
Armory Effectively Decorated For Glee;
Balloons Used As
Feature.
One of the most enjoyable dances of
the year was given by the freshman
class last, night in (he Armory, which
was effectively decorated for the occa
sion.
A most brilliant part of the evening
entertainment was the feature which
was elaborate and unusual. A cleverly
executed balloon dance was given by
Verna Shiite of Hendricks hall. As this
was ended the lights were lowered, and
as the orchestra played a slow waltz,
balloons of many colors were wated as
if by magic from above over the heads
of the dancers. Kewpies were attached
to the balloons, which were distributed
among the girls as (souvenirs.
Dainty programs printed in gold and
tied with purple ribbon revealed to those
present the order of the dances, which
was: step, fot trot, waltz, step, fox
trot, fox trot, step, feature waltz, fox
trot, step, waltz, fox trot, step, waltz.
Music was furnished by a 10-piece
orchestra, which played until 11:30.
Punch was served throughout the even
ing to the danogrs.
799 SEEK EDIKM
BE CORRESPONDENCE
129 Enroll in January, Young
and Old Register.
The University extension division re
ports 129 registrations in correspondence
j courses during the month of January,
1921, as the highest record yet reached
for a single month." These 129 course
registrations represent 113 students,,who
come from 81 towns and 32 counties in
Oregon. The counties having the larg
est number of registrations are Douglas.
Umatilla, Clackamas, Washington, Lane
and Multnomah. The registrations for
January bring the total number of reg
istrations in correspondence courses to
799.
Education courses are the most popu
lar with the January students, there be
iug 45 registrations. English comes
next with :<0 registrations, mathematics
with 15; literature with 13; and the
remainder scattered among drawing, eco
nomics, history, physics, physiology and
psychology.
Hie correspondence students range in
age from the high school student to men
and women well past middle life. Their 1
occupations and interests are as varied
as their ages, for they are teaching,
preaching, farming, herding sheep, tak
ing care of homes and raising children,
serving as clerks, stenographers, 'engi
neers. and doing the many other things
that make up the life of Oregon com
munities. But they are united in their
one ambition to get the education that
circumstances have made impossible for
them ' to get in regular school classes.
Their desire to get through correspond
ence courses what they have missed in
other ways is illustrated by the follow
ing letter received by the extension
division from a student who is 'doing
splendid work in English.
“I am in my 70th year. I have had
to work hard all my life and couldn’t
get an education. Now I’m having my
chance. I’m a fruit, grower. 1 have
i had ten children, seven of them are liv
■ ing. Three are still in army service,
; but when they come home they will by
1 in the Agricultural College and the Uni
r versify.”
The extension student may register
. at any time and continue the work as
1 fast as time will permit. The eorre
i spondence student uses his spare time
r for study; he does not let it interfere
I in any way with his regular duties, but
s prepares himself for greater proficiency
ih his chosen field.

P. J. Gallagher, member of the state
legislature from Ontario, will be on the
campus this week-end as a guest of Pro

SUMMER MTU
TO BE LENGTHENED
BY WEEK THIS YEAR
But Time Will Be Made Up By
Cutting Into Periods of
Other Holidays.
THANKSGIVING REST
REDUCED TO ONE DAY
Faculty Also Adopts Plan for
Full Seven Year Course
In Medicine.
An extra week of summer vacation
was granted and one day was taken
from the Thanksgiving and four from the
Christmas vacation in the schedule for
the fall term of the year 1921-22, which
was adopted by the faculty at. its regular
monthly meeting Thursday afternoon.
Under the new schedule the term will be
gin Monday, October 3, and will close
December 23L the Thursday before
Christmas. The Friday after Thanks
giving will not be a holiday and as a re
sult it will be impossible for a great ma
jority of the students to go home for
that eye lit.
More value can be received from an
additional week in the summer by a stu
dent who works than from the extra days
at the Thanksgiving and Christmas
periods, said Carlton Spencer, Univer
sity registrar, in explanation of this
action. He further stated that the
Thanksgiving vacation always broke in
to the work of the term, as a great
many students did not return to the
University until a number of days after
the vacation.
Medical Course Approved.
An outline of the proposed seven
year medical course was also presented,’
and was approved by the faculty. This
system provides for a three year course
at the University, and then a four
year course at the medical school in
Portland. This will do away with the
two year medical requirement at the Uni
versity. It will also place Oregon’s
medical course among the highest, as
there is only one other school in the
country to require more, Johns Hopkins
University.
Btuacnts in tne scnooi or
education who are preparing to teach
science in high school will be granted
the professional degree of Bachelor of
Science in education, in the future, ac
cording to the decision of the faculty.
In order to fulfill the requirements for
this degree they will have to take some
work in education, mathematics, and
four or five different sciences, but the
regular 86 hours will not be required in
any cue department.
Ta Investigate Registration.
The faculty was asked to appoint a
committee to consider the probability of
having a system of registration for the
whole year. This would enable the stu
dent to register for all three terms at
the beginning of the first. If this course
is found practicable it will save a great
i deal of time and energy on the part of
both the student and the instructor.
The chairman of the committee rep
resenting the faculty colloquium gave
notice that at the next faculty meeting
a motion would be made to refuse grad
uation to a student unless 140 of the
186 hours required for graduation are
above the grade of 5.
fwo petitions were denied by the fac
ulty. The first was from a student
who asked to be allowed to go through
the form of graduating next .Tune, al
though this student lacked 6 hours of the
required number to graduate. The other
petition asked that the student be al
lowed to finish up his correspondence
work while attending the University.
CARLISLE ARTICLE PRINTED.
Dr. Chester L. Carlisle, of the United
States public health service, who direct
ed the stafewide survey of delinquency,
dependency and mental defect, for the
state of Oregon, has an article in the
January imbiber of the Elementary
School Journal, published by the faculty
of the school of education of the Uni
versity of Chicago, entitled “A Survey
of Conduct in Community and School.”
The Oregon state survey has had nation
wide attention as a unique contribution
to community welfare work.
Geologists Plan Three Weeks'
Summer Camp Near Medford
For Parly of Twelve Students
A summer camp for geology students,
offering opportunity for field work in
new territory, is amiouneed by the de
partment of geology ns n feature of the
University summer sehool, to open June
20. ,
Preliminary plans for the eamp, which
is to duplicate that of last year, are be
ing made by Dr. E. L. Packard, head of
the department of geology. The camp,
which will be held during the first three
weeks of summer school, ending July 0,
will be set up some distance south of
the one last year, which was established
near Raygold, a few miles north of Med
ford. Five hours University credit will
be allowed the members of the party.
The vicinity selected, according to Pro
fessor Packard, affords exceptional op
portunities for geological survey work,
as there are, within a comparatively
small area, numerous kinds of forma
tions.
Last year the party, which consisted
of seven students headed by professors
of the geology department, mapped ap
proximately 15 square miles of territory
in the Medford quadrangle in the vicinity
of Raygold. The maps, which show gen
eral characteristics of the country, in
cluding contours, were made with plane
tables. The different formations are
entered upon the map, so that it pre
sents the result of a comprehensive
'study of the district.
The country, according to Professor
Packard, is rich in scenic and historic as
well as geological interest. The students
last year took particular interest in a
section of table Jand, to the northeast, of
the .portion of the country in which they
were working. Tt was at. this place, ac
cording to riic stories, that the Indians
made their last stand in this part of the
state, against the white men. On this
mesa, ending on the south in a cliff of
some 150 foot drop, the red men were
surrounded and put up their last, heroic
battle.
In order to gain an idea of the gen
eral geology of the country in which they
were working, the students last year
made a trip to Crater Lake. With the
same purpose in view, this year, the
party will spend the last few days of the
trip visiting the Oregon caves, widely
kuown for their scenic interest.
The camp, which will be established
some distance south of Raygold, will
conduct, its operations to the south of
the portion which was mapped last year.
The result of the two years work will
be put together, and this progress con
tinued year after year, until a compre
hensive study of the country has been
made. The method used by the geology
department is the same as if the party
were sent; out by a commercial concern,
to study th formations, history, origin,
and age wof the district, and determine
whether or not any economic products
exist beneath the surface of the ground.
One portion of the country covered last
year was actually under development
for oii.
The camp is open only to more ad
vanced students of geology, who have
completed certain requirements made by
the department. The party is to be
headed by Professor Packard, and the
personnel will be limited to approxi-4
nately 12, according to the present
plans.
FIRST CONTEST WON

In Basketball Game.
I-Iendricks liall won the first game of
tlio doughnut girls basketball series
Thursday evening by defeating the Kap
pa Alpha Theta team 12 to 4. The dex
trous team-work of Lyuefta and Vern
etta Quinlan, forwards for Hendricks,
ran up their score, while “Boom” Cannon
easily starred for the Thetas, playing at
guard, but changing to forward long
enough to make the first basket for her
team. The game was fast and the ball
was not held by either te|m to any great
extent, the Thetas losing several good
chances at the basket.
The line-up was as follows:
Hendricks Hall. Thetas.

This is the first year doughnut bas
ketball contests have been held for the
women’s houses. Thus far, Kappa Al
pha Theta, Hendricks hall, Oregon club,
Gamma Phi Beta, Pi Beta Phi, Zeta Rho
Epsilon, Thacher Cottage, and Alpha Phi
have signified their intention of enter
ing teams, and a schedule of all the
games will soon be arranged.
The games are to be played in the
outdoor gymnasium, since the baskets
have not come for the indoor floor as
yet. Miss Emma Waterman is coaching
the teams and refereed the Hendricks
Hall-Theta game. A trophy will be
awarded to the winning team by the
Women’s Athletic Association.
CHAPERONS SCARCE AT IOWA.
It is almost impossible to obtain chap
erons at university affairs at the Uni
versity of Iowa, because they cannot
countenance the mode of dancing and be
cause they do not like to reprimand the
couples on the floor.
PLEDGING ANNOUNCED.
Alpha Phi annohnces the pledging ol

STUDENT BODY PUT
TRYOUT TO BE SUilY
“Arizona,” Melodrama To Be
Put on in March.
Tryouts for the part of Bonita Canby,
leading lady in “Arizona,” a melodrama
by Augustus Thomas, will be held in the
W W. C. A. Sunday at 4:30 p. m. The
play will be given sometime in March
as a student body production, under the
direction of Mask and Buskin. It is de
sired that all women on the campus who
have had any experience iu the stage
attend the tryout.
The student body play is an inovation
on the campus.
Many have long felt the need of such
an activity separate from the work of
the public speaking department and
this play comes as the initial move iu
response to this demand.
Direction of the play will be iu the
hands of Bob Earle, who has had a great
deal of experience, having played all
over the northwest in Chautauqua and in
stock companies in Washington. He is
anxious to get in touch with all inter
ested in the .play.
“Arizona” is without, doubt one of the
best melodramas on the stage today. The
story is laid at the ranch of a success
ful cattleman near a frontier fort. Much
soldier life of the lSWs is depicted with
many harrowing scenes tense with ac
tion.

Feb. 4. — (Special to the Emerald.) —
In a spectacular and fight-to-tbe-ftnUb
game the University of Oregon basket
ball team slipped over a 30 to 29 victory
with the Aggie five. •
The game was battle royal from the
starting whistle with Eddie Durno star

miraculous shooting ability and <dever
floor work Duruo had the Aggie team
baffled. He converted 20 out of 23 frie
throws, while Stinson converted 17 out of
21 fouls. The game was characterised ■
by an unusual number of fouls on both
sides, most of which were of a highly
technical nature.
Durno started the scoring by making '
a difficult basket from the center, of. the
floor. Stinson and Durno then alter
nated on five free throws. Latham had
the jump on the O. A. C. center durifig
the first half. FrCe throw.8, rather tKsit
field baskets predominated. Stinson and
Durno alternated with four foula. Stin- ,
son (ben missed three fouls. Eddie Vug*
“no -playing like a'wild irtan. He made an '
astounding shot from the middle of t&e
floor. Stinson converted a foul. Ore
gon easily had the edge on the Aggie
team during the first half. Accurate
passing and excellent team work caused
the half to end 19 to 11 in Oregon’s fav
■or. Bill Reinhart was substituted for
Hugh Latham, just before the close of
the half.
In tlio second half Arthur started the
fireworks by making a free throw for 0.
A. C. Sanders rangy O. A. C. center,
scored a basket when Bellar pulled a
sensational play by tossing the ball
through the hoop from the middle of
the floor. Both teams were out for
blood the sceond half, and O. A. C. vu
gradually gaining on Oregon’s lead. A
sudden spurt netted O. A. C. four points, ,
made by Sanders and Arthur. The fef»
eree continually halted the fast game by
caiiing technical fouls. Again the AA*
gio.« added to their score by Arthur mak
ing a five throw and Hubabrd scoring a
basket. Two fouls called on O. A. C.,
Puruo converting one and missing the
other Stenson, standing on the aide''
lines, shot a basket from a difficult an
gle. Arthur scored another two point*.
The game grew rougher and faster to
wurd the end with O. A. C. making a last
desperate effort to win. In the last few
minutes of play, with the score
and the Oregon and O. A. C. rooters
wildly cheering, neither side was able to
score, and the lemon-yellow team eme*4
