It lias been said by several of these men that Ore gon rooters have the reputation of being: the hardiest to play be lore of any in the conference. When they left here they save Oregon rooters credit for a decided improvement. Gone was th DeiTy bickering, the continual baiting of the referee and the hooting of visiting players. Oregon rooters have learned sportsmanship. Hospitality also is now one of Oregon’s strong points. Oregon players who made a northern trip during the basket ball season this year noted the hospitality of the northern schools. With their co-operation and that of the “Order of the ‘O’ ” Oregon has been able to institute a system of en tertaining visitors from other schools second to none. Opinions gathered bv visiting players from other schools go tar towards boosting Oregon on other campuses. Wo, have a great school and a great spirit. We prove it to students of other institutions when we treat visiting plovers as thev should be treated. i .1 Kalpli Coleman needs any recommendations as a bas ketball referee, lie could got them from fans here with no trouble. In all the games in which he has served lie has only added to the high regard which Oregon students and friends have torihum He is fair and square. *-----* I The Campus Cynic | * --■ ——-★ , OHI SLUSH! To the Editor: The University is going to the demni tioji bow-wows. Human nature is on the merry tobaggan. The simple virtues of men are fast disappearing. This world is rapidly taking on a pale pink beef bouillon hue. No, friends, 1 haven’t the pip, nor the indigestion, nor have I been crossed in love. Hut yesterday T saw a sight, the likes of which I hope I may never see again on our hallowed campus. As I write this something like a sob escapes me, and my pen point curls back ,and with a fat inky tear bloom ing in its eye, asks in agonizing tones. “Why, oh why must 1 do this? It’s too horrible. Let the affair drop. Man kind has little enough faith to further disillusion it by dragging forth this de grading example.” Hut. little pen, we must struggle on bravely, writing the truth as we see it, whatever the per sonal sacrifice may be. So, with dry, clear, yet sorrow-filled eyes, I firmly write this: yesterday, on the campus 1 saw a-a-a-male person wearing spats. SPATS! “No—no!” I hear n horrified multi tude exclaim. "No—no! It can’t— can’t be true. It’s too awful—” But I saw it, I repeat with passion ate vehemence. With my own eyes 1 saw it. You must believe me—-goodness knows 1 wouldn’t willingly make sueh a horrible confession were it not true. Ah! I remember, when hut a wee tot, how my mother used to croon sweet lullabies to me and whisper in my ear: “My son, you will he a great man when you grow up—a great man, like father, and Uncle Diok.” “And will I have a bald spot like Un do Diok, too?” 1 cried eagerly. “Maybe.” “And will I have brass buttons and funny feet like the post man?” I lisped in childish delight. “Yes, dear, like the postman." I dapped my bauds in great glee. To be a man like those men! Ah! hut men looked so god like to me in those hal cyon days. So I grew to partial man hood. In the process 1 lost some of my fervor and illusions. Somehow, men weren’t so all-fired Jovian. The post man had a huge wart on his neck that l hadn’t noticed before. And when I saw I‘Hole Dick surreptitiously remove n full-fledged set of teeth in one fell swoop .disillusionment was truly mine. Hut still I dung to the essential dig nity and lie-like qualities of men—-until yesterday. Now I would willingly ac cept the Amazonian policy. Hut, I hear someone say, you are provincial. Spats become men — all well-dressed men wear them in the cast. And another cries; “Away -you big farmer—away -back to the sticks.” I am not provincial, 1 hotly contest. I am truly cosmopolitan. I wear Itoston garters, I’aris suspenders, occasionally a 1 unumu hat. smoke Havana cigars, en joy African golf, once in a while take French leave, and swear by under gar ments made in lower East New York. Isn’t that cosmopolitan? Further, I read the Atlantic Monthly and think the advertisements are just awfully pretty. Isn’t that cosmopolitan? Further, when an eastern visitor disparages the west and the westerners, I heartily agree and try to disparage myself more, in his presence apologize for my crass pro vincialism. Isn't that the very acme of cosmopolitianism of culture? No, T am not provincial. Neverthe WRIGLEYS 1 €h Announcements * *-* Faculty Colloquium. — Meets nest Tuesday evening, 8 o’clock.

ART ROOM WOOD WORK WILL BE REPAINTED New Decorations of Colored Posters, Prints, Designs, to Replace Old On Walls. I The walls of the life class room are to be painted grey this week, to match the wood work of that room. As soon as the walls are finished Professor Schroff is planning to cover them with attrac tive colored posters, prints and clever designs. The big studio in the architecture [building is to be painted at the same time, and the floors will be finished in brown. A splendid light has been ac cpiired since the lighting system was changed, and Professor Schroff is very (well pleased with it, and with the effect it has produced on the work in water color. | The locker room between the studio an dthe class room is to be stained brown. The designs which are on the wall now will be taken down, and new work and design will replace the old ones. less. I cherish firmly this western land where men still smoke more cigarettes per day than women; where cuspidors still have more than ornamental use; where men do not use atomizers to spray pprfume on themselves; where their aes thetic expression is limited, in sartorial matters, to hair tonic and effulgent ties. 1 believe in this country, I re peat. And I can’t see any place in it for spnts. When,' in the beginning of things, lit tle green fpples and large shin bones were made they must have had a prime function, a great duty to perform in life. Suffering Sassafras! what is the purpose of a male ankle if not be used for heavy duty, to get barked up, to display lisle sox on, to interfere with its partner, in a word, to be thoroughly serviceable? Not to be covered, blushing and rosy, from view, by a pair of mauve, pearl button spats. One thing I can say, this fellow was almost as pretty as his spats. Now- that the drive season has set in T suggest these is nothing more appropriate than a drive on spats. Drive hounds step forward. Here is an “urge” worthy of your best efforts. I suppose I’ve made some one mad. Hope so. I'm mad too. Fight? Sure I’ll fight buckets of ink and fresh brooms—at ten paces. E. J. II.

MOUNTAIN STATES POWER COMPANY PLAYERS SCORE KIT IRI DICKENS' STORY 4 ‘ Tale of Two Cities ’ ’ Has Full House Both Nights. Playing before a full house both Thursday and Friday nights in the “Tale of Two Cities.” Fergus Reddie in terpreted his own dramatization of the famous novel in the double role of Sid ney Carton and Charles Darnay. In the voice and carriage of Carton there was seen a forceful character but there was a still delicate something about the char acterization which indicated the lack of self-control in his nature, just as Dick ens depicted him. The work of Irene Stewart as La Ven geance was strong and emotional, and stands out as one of the best pieces of individual work seen in Guild theatre this year. As one of the fiery feminine spirits of the French revolution, crazed by her personal suffering and the sight of bloodshed, she was a character diffi cult to portray, but Miss Stewart threw her whole self into the part and scored her success. Charlotte Banfield in a similar part carried the characterization of Mme. De farge with her usual brilliance. The force of this wine merchant’s wife add ed much to the local color of the play. Marian Taylor in the part of Lucie Manette was as charming as she always is. It was the kind of part she delights in and she played with a grace and ease which marks her as a true Guild theatre star. Norvell Thompson as Dr. Manette and Claire Keeney as Mr. Lorry deserve mention for their good work. Loeta Rodgers drew on the house for many laughs in the part of Mrs. Pross, while Jerry Cruncher, the grave-robber, play ed up his “hngricultural tride” with a good bit of humor. me dramatization or uicKens novel is the heaviest tiling the Company lias un dertaken for some time, and in some places did not touch it for quite all that it held for the audience, but that which it lacked in the aggregate was more than made up by the individual work of some of the cast.
