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.

weight he did not perform. Oregon was

vilKLiS (JLEE TO GIVE
HOME CONCERT FEB. 26
Many Members Experienced in Music;
Requests Are Numerous
For Recitals.
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.

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.

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.

CARPENTER FALLS IN TANK.
W. M. 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.

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
