1 CiilFOm QUINTET HEBEMITING FIGHT FDR COAST HONORS Arrived In Eugene Last Night; Day’s Rest Planned Before Week-end Game. BEARS WIN SECOND 0. A. 0. GAME, 22 TO 10 Two Southern Teams Leading Conference; Stanford Beats W. S. C. With two decisive victories over O. A. C. to their credit the University of Cal ifornia basketball squad arrived in Eu gene last night after the Aggie game, and plan to take a day’s rest in prep aration for their two game series with the Lemon-Yellow quintet which will open at the Armory tomorrow night. The game at Corvallis last night resulted in another easy w'in 'for the southerners and the rest is expected to put them in first class shape fof their tussle with the varsity five. ‘ The Bears are making a strong bid for the conference title and it now looks as if Oregon is the only team in the conference which can keep the south erners from realizing on their plans. Their comjrarative'easy time in defeat ing the Stanford five at Berkeley last Friday night, proves them to be one of the strongest bidders for the title, with only Oregon standing in their way. Team Works Hard. Coach Bohler gave his five a light workout at the Armory yesterday after noon and again took the team to Cor vallis. He is taking no chances on the games this week end. The men are in good shape physically and the stjde of play which California used against the Oregon Aggies in their two game series, has been w-orked out by Coach Bohler with an idea of building up a defense to beat it. The guards will again be count ed on in the two games to aid the var sity in bringing home the victory. Ore gon’s guarding combination has been one of the big features in the success of the varsity quintet so far this season and both Boiler and Chapman will be in the line-up to go against the California tenm. “Eddie” Durno and Marc Latham will* probably be in the line-up at forwards with “Hunk” Latham in the center po sition. » “Bill” Reinhart’s work in the Aggie game will be well remembered by (he fans and he will probably be used during a period of the game by Coach Bohler. uurno uoing uooa. ) The scoring combination of Bellcr, Durno and “Hunk” Latham will prob ably be depended upon to chalk up the points against the invaders. If Durno plays up to his style in the Oregon Ag gie games here last week it will keep the blue and gold defense going to keep UP with him, and “Hunk” can be de pended to slip a few over the edge of the (rim. Beller usually manages to edge in a few of the two point baskets, al though he takes few shots. Captain Jack Symes and Harold Coop will probably start at forward for the Bears, with Larkey at center and Art Eggleston and Louis Le Hane at guards. Ten men are with the California squad and it is possible that Spense and Douthit may start at one or the other of the forwards, while O’Neil may start in Larkey’s place at center with Thomp son and Naylor for the substitute guards. Symes is playing his third year with the California first string, and is one of the fastest players on the five. He is shifty and a good basket shooter, while Coop is a steady and consistent player and works well with Symes, usually leaving the shooting of the field goals to his running mate, while Coop is the man who converts the free throws for the Bears. Larkey Is Rated High. Larkey is a good defense player and is about the same heighth as Latham. He *s playing his first year with the var S|t.v five this year. Eggleston, who will Probably play one of the guard positions was a choice for the all Pacific Coast tire last season and is making a strong bid. for that place this year. Le Hane is another first year man with the Cali fornia varsity, and he is rated as first rate shot at the basket. WHOLE GIRLS’ SCHOOL FALLS FOR BIB CARL Campus Man Plays Havoc With 100 Hearts When He Refuses To Be Vamped. ^ en*’ V1'di, vici.” And the conquered were 100 strong against one lone man, too. One hundred bits of feminity ns fair to look upon as any assemblage this side of the Mississippi—and not one es caped when Bib Carl stood before them and smiled. The tragedy never would have occurred had not Bib decided to visit his younger sister at a girls’ school in La Verne, Cal., on his way home from Phi Belt convention last month. Bib was asked to address the young women at chapel while on the campus. The effect pro duced by his one and only appearance can best be described by quoting from one of the Emerald’s exchanges, the La Verne Campus .Times. Wallace Reid himself found not have created more disturbance. —he came. Handsome? He was tall, and dark, and rosy-cheeked. He smiled—and that’s when it happened. Mr. Carl will not soon be forgotten. “Smile?* Oh, yes, they all smiled. Who could help it? But their hearts were leaden. Every girl in school was involved. It was. love at first sight— no one could presume to deny that. But the sad part hasn’t come let. It was the hopelessness of it all that broke every maiden heart present before him on that fateful morning. For how could one man be vamped by 100 girls? “The tragedy is out. Could words express anything more hopeless? He left immediately—never to return.” Varsity Guards Who Will Face Bears This Week-End “Bill” Reinhart. Dr. Hodge Has Plan to End China's Famines and Floods by Changing River's Course China’s century-old enemies, famines and floods, can be averted by a simple engineering feat which would straighten the courses of the Yangtze and Hwang lio rivers, according to Dr. E. H. Hodge, instructor of applied geology in the Uni versity and former consulting geologist of New York City, who spoke in Deady hall under the auspices of the University Science club Tuesday evening. “The solution of China’s greatest problem is connected with a flood plain,” declared Dr. Hodge. “If we are to solve this problem the Yangtze river will have to do its own work. Obviously we cannot take a block of China and tilt it up, thereby increasing the velocity and carrying power of the stream. The only thing to do is to shorten the stream by cutting canals. It is estimated that the stream can be shortened 300 miles in such a manner.” Dr. Hodge explained that the shortening of the stream Would increase its velocity, and an increased velocity would cause the river to cut its bed and carry the silt to the sea. The growth of the streams from youth through maturity to their present old age was graphically illustrated by Dr. Hodge with the use of colored crayons. He showed how the level of a stream had been raised about the surrounding country by depositing silt on its bank, forming a natural levee, and how at the f^me time its bed had also been elev ated. Dr. Hodge explained that the Yangtze and Ilwang-lio rivers are con stantly elevating themselves above the surrounding flood plains, because of their velocities and carrying powers. China’s two largest rivers meander over the flood plains in numerous ox bow twists. In places these simple sinuous curves come very close together, and it would be simply a dredging feat to connect the nearest places in the bends by canals. It is estimated that such a system of canals would shorten the Yangtze from 1000 miles ,it pres ent length, to 700 miles. This decrease of 800 miles would mean an added ve locity for the river, which would give the water greater carrying power. The river, instead of depositing pediment would then be cutting its channel, and after it once started cutting its bed, danger from floods would be past. Dr. Hodge said that China’s famines and floods are closely related. Wlten the rivers overflow their natural levees the agricultural districts are inundated, and since the flood plains are below the . level of the river beds they would re main under water for several years. Over one million Chinese were drown ed in 1887, cited Dr. Hodge, and mil lions of dollars are sent to China an nually from the United States. The Yangtze river can be shortened at a cost approximately that of the Panama canal. To divert the waters of the Hwong-ho to the Yangtze by constructing a canal to the tributary of the Yangtze named the Han would also be a simple engi neering feat, said Dr. Hodge, and the Increased volume of ,water would cut the bed of the Yangtze below the flood plain. He pointed out that the large sums which are yearly sent to China to assist the famine stricken would, go a long way to give China a permanent re lief from her age-old enemies, famine and flood. ONE REGISTRATION PLAN Spencer Says Students Can Work Out Courses In Advance. Whether or not students can plan their work nine months ahead, thereby eliminating two registration periods is the problem which Carlton Spencer, reg istrar, is working on at this time. The cutting out of many short courses during the past year or two has made the year registration plan possible, ac cording to Mr. Spencer, who contends that students as well as business men should be able to plan ahead for a con siderable period of time. A number of the schools of the Uni versity have their work so outlined that the year plan could go into effect with out difficulty but there are still a num ber of schools wherein the idea would cause considerable confusion and trouble, it is said. [ MARCH 1 CONTEST END [ - Time for Edison Marshall Short Story Competition Extended. The time limit for the Edison Marshall Short Story Contest has been extended until March 1 in order to allow more time to the competitors. Professor W. F. G. Thacher of the department of rhetoric, who has charge of the contest, say§' that there are a dozen or more students working on stories for the contest, which they have n!ot yet finished. “I should judge that there will be perhaps fourteen turned in when the contest closes,” Mr. Thacher said. Three prizes will be awarded this year for the winning short stories: First prize, $15; second prize, $10, third prize, an autographed copy of Edison Mar shall’s latest book, “The Strength of the Pines.” “Nish” Chapman.

Real jazz music, hot (logs, sand wiches, cider, and free confetti will -be a few of the things featured at the Order of the “O” benefit jitney dance at the Armory, Friday evening, after the basketball game. “Call it a rough neck affair,” said Johnny Houston, chairman of the -dance. There i(re to be no decorations and it will be very in formal.” Absolutely no pigging until the dance begins; paddles will be used on all of fenders, Johnny added as a word of warning. The feature dance will be the awarding of diplomas to the recently initiated Order of the “O” men. An added feature is the fact that this dance will be free, with confetti for every one to throw. “Maybe there will be other free dances later,” said Johnny cautiously. The Order of the “O” lias just taken on new life, and its members expect to take an active part in campus activities. They hope that the students will co operate with them in giving this dance, as it is the only one they will supervise this year. The dance will begin just as soon as the bleachers can be taken off the floor after the game. “We are going to have a big time; and remember, no pigging,” said Johnny. SMITH PRAISES OREGON MEN Fred B. Smith told a meeting of O, A. C. students that the men he had met at his afternoon meeting at U. of O, were the finest men he had met in any college in the United States. Hal Don nelly reports that deep silence followed TWENTY-TWO’S SHOULD BE SEEN, NOT FIRED Constable Appears and Rudely Brings Co-eds’ Rifle Practice to a Close. If you wore two University girls, calmly shooting at a tin can perched on the cemetery fence with a twenty-two, and a man came along on a bicycle and told you that you couldn’t do it, just what would you do? Provided you had been the two lively girls had that hap pen to them the other day, you would have gone on puncturing the tin can just to show li^ni. Anyway, that is what they did. However, when the little man pulW back his coat with a “now I’ve got you” air. and showed the five-pointed star of the law the two girls wilted perceptibly. Visions of fines, jails, and finally of bread and water rations, flitted through their minds. Perhaps it was their woe-begonc ex pressions, or maybe only the kind heart of the Eugene constable which finally caused him to pedal away with parting ndinonitions to “never do it again.” Hence the next time when these two girls go out for a hike on a pleasant summer day, they will not take the | twenty-two along for amusement.

Delta Delta Delta defeated Alpha Phi 20 to 7; Helen Glanz and Betty Pride, Tri Delt forwards, were the stars of the two games, and won the first vic tory for their teams. Thachcr worked hard against the Gamma Phi’s, but they easily upheld their record of no de feats. The Gamma Phi’s have worked out a decidedly successful system of passing, and with the accurate basket shooting of their forwards, they are conceded a good chance to win. Practices for class teams began Tues day afternoon, and the interclass series will be played as soon as the doughnut games have all been played. The sche dule for doughnut games has been ar ranged so that at least two are played each day. Miss Emma Waterman, coach of the class and doughnut teams, is ref eree of the doughnut games.

The assembly program will have an unusual musical number today when Ruth Diehl, harpis|, will play “The Rosary.” Norman Coleman, formerly of Reed College, now head of the Loyal Legion of Loggers and Lumberman will speak on “Lincoln and Labor.” Mr. Coleman is regarded as one of the lead ing industrial speakers in the state. Dean Straub says that this is the first time harp music has ever been on an assembly program. Miss Diehl is a sophomore in the University and previ ous to her registration here studied music under prominent teachers in the state. SUBSCRIPTION DRIVE FOR (HIM WILL BE BEG! MOHUY Intensive Campaign To Be Put On In All Men’s Living Organizations. 600 COPIES OF BOOK SOLD TO STUDENTS —+ Department Work Is Nearly Done; Engraving Start ed, Says Editor. A second campaign for subscriptions to the Oregana will be put on next Mon day and Tuesday. The purpose of this second campaign is to reach the men of the campus particularly. The women subscribed in large numbers during the last drive, but the men did not. To this end an intensive campaign will be made in the men’s living organizations. A booth will be placed in front of the library to reach all other students on the campus. The last campaign netted 000 sub scriptions. This means that only about one-third of the students on the campus have subscribed for the Oregana. The Oregana gives the students a compact history of the college year and helps bring back memories of those days at “Oregon” long after students have graduated. Last Chance, Says Editor. This, according to the editor, is abso lutely th^ last chance to get one of this year’s Oregauas, as no extra copies are going to be printed. Wilbur Hoyt has been appointed circulation man ager of the Oregana to succeed Wes Frater, who has left school. The following committee has beet) ap pointed by Wlilbur Hoyt, circulation manager, for the campaign Monday and Tuesday: Lawrence Hull, Fred Lorens; Carl Houston, Kenneth Smith, John Gamble, Frances Kern, Hadden Rockhey, Austin Hazard, James Ross, Dan Woods, Iran McKinney, William Purdy, Remey Co?;, Ralph Hoeber, Lois Hall, Lenore Cram, Helen Carson, Betty Pride, .Helen Nel son, Naomi Wilson, Frances Haber sham, Velina Farnham, Margaret Duni wav. Department Work In Hand. The department work of the Oregano, which composes the bulk of the work for year book for 1021, has been completed, according to Wanna McKinney .editor. “Almost all the department editora have turned in their material to me, and the remaining is due the latter part of the week,” said Miss McKinney, “and we hope to have a great deal of the ma terial in the hands of the printers by March 1.” The engraving has been progressing .very Well, according to the editor, and about 200 pieces have been sent to Hicks-Chatten, Portland engravers, to have copper cuts made. The majority of the pictures of’ the various organizations have been collect ed from the different photographers and arc being sent to the engravers each day. Advertising Total High. Forest Littlefield, manager of the Oregana and his assistants have .fin ished the advertising work and have had very good success in Portland as well as in Eugene. Last year the total adver tising obtained amounted to about $1150, while this year the total has been raised in the neighborhood of $2000. A special effort is being made this year to make the Oregana break even, something which has not been done since about 1905. It is hoped that tiie Oregana will be off the press a day or two before junior week-end. An entirely new sys tem of distributing the books is to be worked out this year. I, REQUIREMENTS NOT MET 23 May Bo Dropped If Probation FwV Is Not Filled Out Of the 120 students who were placed on probation at the beginning of the winter term for failure to make re quired hours 23 have not reported to the Registrar’s office to obtain their probation slips. These slips must be filled out at once according to the Registrar, and the de linquent students may be dropped from the University if they do not come up to requirements in this regard. .
