Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXII. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, OREGON, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1921. NO. 80. Neale and Hazard 3rd and 4th In 100 and 50 Yard Events. OREGON WRESTLERS ARE / DOWN BY AGGIE MEN Lemon-Yellow Takes But One Decision; Lead In 135 Class. The Oregon swimming team, composed of George Neale and Austin (Hap) Haz ard, won three places in the Oregon State Championship swimming meet held in Multnomah club, in Portland, Sat urday evening. Entries were made from the Portland Swimming Association, Multnomah Amateur Athletic club, and the University of Oregon. .Toe Hedges, swimming instructor, saw the meet and states that both the Ore gon boys swam strong races and would have made far better showings had they been in better condition. George Neale placed third in the free style for seniors and fourth in the hundred while Hap placed fourth in the 50 yard free style. Douglas Left Out. Oregon’s showing in the meet would have been much better had Douglas, Wilsey and Ringler been able to par ticipate, but a conflict with the frosh basketball games at Corvallis over the week-end prevented. With the above mentioned men all in action Oregon should make a strong bid for the Northwest Conference meet to be held irrthe spring. Though O. A. C. did not meet the last week, well found ed rumors state that they are figuring mighty strong on annexing the confer ence swim. However, with all her swim mers in action Oregon will »prohably prove something of a stumbling block in the realization of the Aggie ambition. V^resttars Are Beaten. <u Though the Oregon wrestling team, which journeyed to Corvallis Saturday for a mjgggv-ith the Aggies went down to defe^^^’arsity wrestling coach, Si. Si mola, expressed himself as very well pleased with the showing made by the Lemon-Yellow grapplers. T)regon won handily in the 135 class, lost only two falls in the entire meet and had two close decisions turned against them. Oregon’s team Was particularly at a disadvantage Saturday night against the collegians .since, the varsity team was composed of men entirely inexperienced in intercollegiate wrestling, while the Aggie wrestlers were all men experienced in the sport and nearly all of them letter men. Dick Shim made the trip but as 0. A. C. had no one to go against him at his weight he did not perform.

Exceptional talent apd unusual train ing marks tlie personnel of the Girls’ Glee Club this season. The selection of twenty-four voices out of more than one hundred was made last fall, and the members have been hard at work ever since. ri hey will make their formal ap pearance in Eugene on Saturday, Feb ruary 2(>, when the home concert will be given. Most of this year’s members have had experience previous to college work, the soloists, Genevieve Clancy and Laura Rand, having studied extensively in Portland and elsewhere. Imogene-Letch er, accompanist, is a pianist of ability, and is a notable addition to the club talent . Although the club work this year has been devoted principally toward the perfection of the program for the home concert, it has been much in demand in college and town circles. Many of the members are soloists at various churches, and the Glee Club as a whole has been unable to satisfy all of the numerous requests to appear in public recitals or private musieales. MUSICAL PROGRAM GIVEN IT VESPERS Lenten Organ Recitals Will Replace Services. The program of the vesper services held in Villard hall Sunday afternoon was composed almost entirely of music due to the absence of Dr. P. A. Parsons who was to have made an address, but who did not arrive from Portland. The rea son for his absence lias' not yet been learned. The services Sunday will be the last until after Lent due to a series of Ore gon recitals to be given by John Stark Evans of the school of music. Professor P.’S. l)unn presided at the services. He was assisted by Dr. Bruce j Giffen. the Presbyterian student pastor. The music was furnished by the vesper choir, Which is composed of members of the girl’s and men’s glee clubs, and Glen Morrow sang a solo. The program was given as follows: ^ Processional Hymn, No. 145. Invocation. Response. , Chernbin Song—Tehaikowsky. Vesper Choir. Responsive Reading. , Solo, “Come to Thee”—Roiha. Glen Morrow. ^ Prayer. Anthem, “The King of Love My Shep herd Is”—Shelly. • Quartet and Choir. Nunc Dimittus prayer by choir. Recessional Hymn, No. 586. Pienediction. Did Coach Rutherford Plant Pennies? .Why? asks Ireland The car stopped as close to Hayward field as was possible without leaving the road. Dick Rutherford, O. A. C football and basketball coach, “Dad” Butler, Aggie trainer, and Joe Kasber ger. Beaver athlete, stepped out of the ear and walked towards the field. Dean Ireland, assistant Oregon yell-leader, driving the car, remained with the two Boss brothers, “Tuffy” and “Pug”, both members of the O. A. C. basketball team, while the other trio ploughed through the mud onto Oregon’s football gridiron. 'Hie three in ^he car could easily fol low the movements of Rutherford, But ler, and Kasberger. They divided, Ka.s oerger going to one goal post. Butler and Rutherford to the other. They stooped over, with their knees to the grohud seemed to feel of the earth. In the cen ter of the field the same thing happened. It was “Tuffy” Ross who broke the silence in the car. "Rutherford’s planting his pennies,” he said. • l»eau Lreland looked up in surprise. ' eP. he did the same thing when we were down at Stanford,” said Ross. "Planted pennies on the field down) there.” Phat was last Saturday morning about 11 o’clock. Today Dean Ireland,is won-j dering what could have been Ruther ford’s motive in planting pennies on Hayward field and on the Stanford gridiron. Does the Aggie mentor de pend upon a personal superstition to win football games for the Beavers nest fall? O. A. C. plays Stanford at Palo Alto next fall. And her eleven meets Oregon on Hayward field. “Tuffy” Ross says Rutherford planted pennies on both fields. Ireland says it most certainly looked as if the Aggie mentor whs plant ing something on Oregon’s gridiron. Can it be that Rutherford .is relying upon some ufiknown superstition to help him next fall? Digging up Hayward field to find the pennies that would prove Ireland’s con tention would be like hunting needles in a haystack. Perhaps Rutherford was sizing up the field that was to be his playing ground next fall. But why asks Ireland, should Ross speak of “planting pennies?” Is it a new slang phrase? Ireland took the O. A. C. men out for a ride Saturday morning as a part of the entertainment which Oregon always offers visiting teams. Rutherford im mediately asked to be taken to Hay ward field. Meanwhile Dean Ireland would like to ask Mr. Rutherford the if so and why of planting peunies on Hayward field. AGGIES GET 37 T018 DEFEAT IK FOURTH CONTEST OF SERIES O.A.C. Five Helpless in Hands of Oregon’s Hoop Machine. SCORE SAFE; BOHLER GIVES SUBS TRYOUT California Plays Here Friday and Saturday of This Week. Captain Eddie Durno, Oregon’s di minutive forward, one of the fastest basketball players on the coast as well as the smallest, played in and helped win the tenth consecutive game which Oregon has won from the Aggies in the past three years. Durno has never played on a team which has been de feated by the Aggies and the game Sat urday night in which the varsjty defeat ed the Corvallis team by a score of 37 to 10, marks his tenth and last game against Oregon’s ancient rivals. Coach Rutherford’s five-man offense and five-man defense team from the Oregon Agricultural College was abso lutely helpless in the hands of Coach Bokler’s proteges in the last game of their series at the Armory Saturday night. In fact the score piled up so big during the second'half that Coach Bolder decided to give his first string quintet a rest in preparation for the hard games which are expected against Cal ifornia this week-end and substituted an entire new team from his second string squad to finish the game. Ag Defense Helpless. Durno, “Hunk” Latham and Bellar formed the scoring combination ‘in the game and slipped in basket after bas ket in spite of the efforts which the Aggies put up to stem the tide. Marc Latham and Nish Chapman played su perb floo? work. Marc proving a str/m#-, factor in passing the ball to both Durno and “Hunk” Latham in positions from which the later two rang up the scores, while the close guarding of Chapman and his repeated breaking up of the passes of the Aggie team kept their score down. Six field baskets were the sum total of the Aggies efforts in the game, while Oregon annexed fifteen from the floor,4 Durno being responsible for six of these. “Hunk” Latham and Bellar befng cred ited with four each and Marc Latham chalking up one to his credit. For the Aggie, Stinson hooped three frqpi the floor, F. Ross getting two and Arthurs one. Stinson convened seven tries for free throws into points, while Durno converted eleven out of thirteen at tempts. First Half Ends 18-7. The Lemon-Yellow quintet took the lead from the start and maintained it throughout the game, never once being in any danger from their opponents. The score at the end of the first half ending 18 to 7. Fouls were not called as frequently in the Saturday night’s contest although there were more of the personal fouls called for individual roughness. Coach Rutherford evidently instilling the so called “Aggie fight” into his team be tween halves, for soon after the second half was on, S. Ross was taken out for four personal fouls against him, while a noticeable playing of the man ratfter than the ball took place on the part, of the visitors. The line-up: Oregon—37. 0. A. C.—19.

Kirtley, one of the University carpenters, while repairing a window in the tank room in the men’s gym Satur day afternoon, slipped and plunged head long into the tank, taking with him his outfit of tools. The gym class then in the tank had the job of diving for them. Kirtley was uninjured by his untimely swim. Oregon Equals Wellesley in Indoor Gymnasium Equipment for Girls, Says Miss Cummings Miss Mabel L. Cummings, head, of the department of hygiene and physical edu cation for women, has just returned from Wellesley, Massachusetts, where she spent four days in conference with the members of that department at Wellesley College, discussing health work, trnin I ing of teachers and other questions. The equipment at Oregon for this department as far as indoor work is concerned, ex cels that at Wellesley, although the athletic fields and provisions for wo men's outdoor sports are decidedly in ferior. “I do not know just where you will find as adequate equipment of build ings and apparatus as we have here,” M ss Cummings said, “although we do lag behind in outdoor facilities.” “Our greatest lack in equipment for outdoor sports is in tennis. But three courts are now available on the campus. Susan Campbell hall now stands whfre the gravel courts formerly were. Tennis is one of the sports in which students outside the organized classes and teams are most interested, and every induce ment for playing should be offered the students.” “I am perfectly certain,” she said, “that in time we are going to have ade quate tennis facilities, a fine hockey field, and a baseball diamond. Our plans also include an archery range.” The department at. Wellesley was much interested in the health work which is being done among women at this University, iu general health organiza tion, and also in the training of teachers. Miss Cummings believes that our reme dial and corrective work for undergrad uate women is more fully developed than there, but so fur as the training of teachers is concerned we have a great ■ deal to learn from them.” With the new home for the depart ment and the characteristic enthus iasm of Oregon students, Miss Cum mings sees a splendid future, for the wo men's department here. Already the graduates have made a reputation for themselves and the University. With the increased facilities, the larger number of major students enrolled, and the plans of Dr. Bovard, dean of the school of physical education, we may*, says she, feel sure that Oregon will take its place among the best. Miss Cummings also visited the school of education at the University of Chi cago, discussing questions regarding the relation of general education work and physical training. She feels that phy sical'education people should keep them selves in close touch with the great strides which have been made in gen eral education methods in the last few years. Lieutenant Pearson Forced Down Near Mexican Line. Lieutenant Alexander J’earson, ,Tjr.» who graduated from the University of Oregon last spring, and who won con* siderable fame in the trans-continental air Sight last year, is lost somewhere near the • Mexican border. Dispatches from San Antonio, Texas, conveyed i this news to his friends on the campus the first of the week. Lieutenant Pearson was going over the route he was scheduled to take in an attempted 24-hour flight from Pablo Beach, Florida, to San Diego, Califor nia ,on the 22nd of this month, when he was caught in one of the worst winds ever experienced in that section of the country. Army officials have expressed the belief that he was forped to land or fell'on a large ranch, just north of the S. P. railroad. Army aviators doing pa trol work on the border were unsuccess ful in an attempt to find him, according to telegraphic reports. Among Lieutenant Pearson’s immedi ate friends on the University campus is Prof. F. L. Shinn of the chamistry de 1 partment. According to the professor’s records, the youthful aviator did his lu»t work in the University in 1017, but did not have enough credits to graduate when he left to enlist in the air service. Military credits gained in the service i gave him his liploma last June. Professor Shinn describes Peason as “an exceptionally good student, quiet and reserved.” He did his major work in the chemistry department, where he and the professor became close frieuds. Considerable anxiety is ijeing evinced by Lieuteuant Pearson’s friends as to his safety. 'ENROLLMENT NOW 1845 ✓ _ 998 Men and 847 Women Registered In •University This Term.

INFANTS TIKE LAST ROOK GAME 30 TO 26 Frosh Surprise Aggies; Win One Out of Four. ... “Shy” ■ Centum*-, quintet sprung n surprise on the O. A. C. rooks in the second game of the series at Corvallis last week-end and won b.v a score of 30 to 26. This was the only game won by the frosh out of a series of four games. Captain Hadden Rockhey of the team was high point man for the frosh, mak ing 10 points. He scored three field baskets, and converted ten out of thir teen tries for fouls. The small forward played like a house afire all through the game, and much of the team’s success was due to his work. “Bus” Douglas was also a star of the game playing the best ball he has played yet this season. His close guarding kept Fernley of the rook team down to one field basket. Be sides his floor work he scored three field baskets. In the latter part of the game Huntington had to take him out for personal fouls; Alstock also played a good game, working the floor well and passing at all opportunities. Chapman played the other guard and McMillan started at center. During the first half Huntington took out McMillan and put Blackman in his place. Chapman, Al stock, McMillan and Blackman each scored one field ba^Rt. Iljelte the rook center, was again the high point man for them. He did not get nearly as many as in the previous games however and only rolled up a total of 14 points. Crane made four field buskets, Fernley one and Gill one. Coach Huntington was greatly pleas ed that his.team won the game. He said “the team played IiuiyJ. They were all going good and their passing was excep tionally good.” According to Hunting ton, it was the passing that won the game for Oregon. Huntington said that when Rockhey began to go in the se«*bud game the stands nicknamed him “Eddie Durno” and called him that all dmring the game. He said that he believed that this helped to win the game for < Iregon, as the rooks were scared even by the mention of Durno’s name. The second game was played in the afternoon and the men we;re able to get back in time to see the varsity beat the Aggio-Varsity game here in the even >“6- .,|W STANFORD TO HAVIi PAVILION.
