Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXII. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, OREGON, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1921. NO. 77. HOF SOCCER SEEK TO WE GUIDE HIDE LETTER SPORT Available Material for Teams Best Oregon Has Had, Declares Dyment. EXHIBITION CONTEST PLANNED FOR MARCH Difficulty in Procuring Field On Which to Play Is Big Obstacle. Prospects and plans for soccer as a recognized minor letter sport at Oregon were discussed by Dean Colin V. Dy ment and several of the 16 veterans of the past successful season in a meet ing of soccer enthusiasts at the Beta house Tuesday evening. An exhibition game, played for the express purpose of enlightening the students on the advan tages and possibilities of soccer as a sport, will likely be staged early in March. Dean Dyment expressed his belief that available material for a good team next season is the best he lias ever sefin at the University. Dean Dyment, it will be remembered, not only founded and fostered the growth of soccer-here at the University, but also introduced the great Scotch game as a competitive sport in Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club in Portland. Game Worth Continuing. “At present the great difficulty lies in procuring grounds on which to play games,” said Dean Dyment in his open ing remarks. “A soccer field should be like a billiard table—no holes, no bumps, no rough places. But the game is worth going ou with even if we have to play on muddy Kincaid. The University has some 40 acres of land here, but it should look forward to 1927 and crowded con ditions.” Dean Dyment assured the soccer men that he would do his best toward obtaining a field on which ao play. At the meeting it was decided that a committee of three, collaborating with a faculty member, should put the question of granting a minor letter with sweater before the student council next week Haseltine Schmeer, Elmo Madden and Phil Brogan, were appointed by Morgan Staton, who presided as chairman at the meeting, to act as this committee. Koer ber and Patterson, co-stars in the back field in the two tie games against O. A. C. last fall, are not back in school this term, and in the absence of Koerber, captdin-mauager |of the team, Staton was elected to act as captain in the con templated exhibition game. City Team Will Be Met. Neil Ford, former Oregon man, later a soccer player, at Stanford and O. A. C., will be asked to captain the city team which will probably meet the University players in March. Optimism regarding the future of soc j.cer as a regular intercollegiate sport was expressed by Dean Dyment and several of the men.. “Few people know that there is a’ ‘Big Eight’ soccer league in the United States,” said Oregon’s soccer coach. This league is composed of 8 professional teams in the east. Other speakers mentioned the growth of soccer iu California, especially in Stanford, and said that soccer at the University would open up a field of athletics open to a type of meu different from football or basketball players.

LOST: AN UMBRELLA, OWNED BY TINY LADY Dinner Party Ends Disastrously for In habitant of Japanese Tea Garden. It is not known at what fraternity house it occurred, — but the dinner party must have been exceedingly gay— for the lady is not easily disconcerted and has never been known to do such a thing before, and it was raining at the time—but, she came home without her umbrella. Miss Tingle is very sure that the little ,lady had it when she left with “one of the brothers,” but it wasn’t with her when she came back several hours later and has not been seen since. The lady in question belongs to the Japanese tea garden, and as the entire garden went with her, and the umbrella, being only a part of an inch in diameter, couldn’t really be of much use to anyone even in this rainy weather. Miss Tingle can not understand how it happened. The Japanese garden, tea-house, tem ple and all, was borrowed to decorate the table at some frhternity house last Sunday, and that’s when it all happen ed. Since the garden has been rearranged, the lady is strolling toward a tiny pool all surrounded with water lillies, and the gay little black and white umbrella is greatly missed. a Since it was through the Emerald that the lady got the “date” Miss Tingle is hoping that it may be equally effective in restoring to her the missing article. ‘ WATCH ACCOUNT’ SAYS AD BUILDING PLACARD Students Are Warned to Keep Track of Bank Balance; Bad Checks Bring Penalties. “Watch your bank account.” This short crisp warning appeared in large black letters yesterday over the window in the “Ad” building through which students take, a last saddened look at their term taxes. Further reading of the conspicuous placard elicits the inter esting information that “checks return ed unpaid subject the student to the same penalties as for non-payment” and “no checks will be accepted from Students who have had bad checks returned.” These warnings are a means, accord ing to those who preside at the window, of bringing to the attention of many stu dents the fact that a bank balance has its limitations as to staying power and those who become over-confident and have their checks returned are liable to a certain implied “penalty,” and in future will have to possess cash when dealing with the financial department. Carelessness in over-estimating the bank balance is the cause jof a great majority of these financial “duds” that are returned by the bank, according to officials, who also give out the inter esting information that very, very few feminine names appear over the dotted line on these shattered hopes. DEBATESUBJECT PICKED Elimination Series to Benin in April; Jessie Todd, Chairman. “That the provision of the present law imposing Panama canal tolls on Ameri can coastwise vessels should re repealed” is the question for debate chosen by the women at their meeting last week in Professor Crockatt’s room. Nearly every living organization on the campus was represented at this meeting and s gre,at deal of interest was shown in the work to be done this spring. Jessie Todd has been made chairman of the committee on debate and she will an nounce new plans as they develop. It was decided that each house should j secure their own coaches if possible and ; then report the names to Marjorie Stout, whose telephone number is 7F13. The second week in April is the time set for the first elimination series of women’s debates. Because the time is short it is urged that the girls begin work on their material immediately. To the winning team falls the honor of hold ing the cup for the year following their victory. For the last two years the cup has been in the possession of Hen dricks hall. BOXING TEAM CHALLENGES.

Tenor Has Achieved Success In New" York Opera. * “Paul Althouse has a thrilling voice, the kind that sort of makes you get up ou the edge of your chair,” said John Stark Evans, assistant dean of tho Uni versity school of music, of the Metro politan tenor who will sing m Vttlard hall this evening. “I heard Althouse about ten or a dozq£ times in the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City — always in opera,” Mr. Evans continued. One of the operas was “Cavaleria Rusti eana” in which he took the part of “Turridu.” Mr. Evans also heard him sing in 'the Russian opera, “Boris Go dounov,*’ in which he made his first, success at the Metropolitan. “He created his own role in this opera, and his singing of the part of “Dimitri” was most magnificent,” said Mr. Evans. “Mr. Althouse is young and an Amer ican. He is robust—has the physical vigor to back up his voice. His voice is not a light lyric one but heavy and dramatic'. At the same time, however, lie has a wonderful control of it bo that he can sing softly, with ease. “I have never heard him sing “Celeste Aida,” said Mr. Evans, “but I have heard him sing other things which would make an equally great demand on his vocal powers. His singing of them was good and I believe he will do as well with thi^* one.” The tenor is a great favorite in New York, according to Mr. Evans. “Celeste Aida” forms one part of the program for the entertainment. The first section is composed of French and Italian songs. The third section is taken up by the accompaniest, Rudolph Gruen. The fourth and fifth sections are Mr. Althouse’s and arc filled with songs, such as “The Blind Ploughman” by Clarke and “Happiness” by Hage man.

SECTION IS RESERVED FOR 0. A. C. STUDENTS Veil Practice’ and “Pep" Talks Will Occupy Part of Assembly Hour. That the old familiar “Osky” will roar in the Armory Friday and Saturday nights when the varsity quintet battles with the Oregon Aggies is the edict of yell leader Claire Keeney. And the strains of “Mighty Oregon” will be sung by the girls, so that Oregon's fighting basketball team will meet the Aggies „ with a “thundering thousand” behind them according to present plans. A pnrt of the assembly hour this morning will be given over to the prac ticing of a few yells and some “pep” talks and a good old yell fest is going to break loose at the Armory this week end. A section of seats, have been re served for the O. A. C. rooters, and it ,is understood that there will be a good ly number of the orange and black root ers on hand. This has only served to lend greater effort to yell leader Keen ey’s preparations and it will take the entire O. A. C. student body to make as much as the Oregon rooters will put forth, according to his present plans. Team Primed for Battle. Coach Bolder ran the squad through ft pretty stiff workout at the Armory last night and with a light workout this evening, the team will be primed for the battle. These are the first conference games to be played here this season add with the exception of the CHelnawa games will be the first chance for the student fans to see the varsity five In action, and there promises to be plenty of real action in these two games. The Aggies are putting forth every effort to come back and defeat Oregon in the series, and Coach Rutherford would rather beat this team than any other in the conference, it is. generally believed. But Oregon’s squad is taking no chances and over-confidence is cer tainly not going to be felt by the lemon yellow wearers when they trot onto the floor tomorrow night. Durno Outwits Aggies. Captain Eddie Durno, the diminutive speed demon of the Oregon five, and Marc Latham, who fights from the starting whistle will form the forward combination which will go against the visitors from Corvallis. Eddie scored most of the points made by Oregon last week iu the two games and in spite of every effort of the Aggie guards to smother him, lie eluded them with com parative ease and dropped basket after basket through with amazingly regular ity. Marc Latham cqn always be depended upon to score from the floor and al though he isn’t quite as sure in his shooting as Durno, the Aggies guards don’t want to give him an opening for he will convert the chance. Marc work.?, ed at center last season and covers Ike —--- - (Continued on Page 3.) DR. SCHAFER TO RETURN Former Professor Accepts Position In Summer Sohool.
