Oregon Daily Emerald . ;• — UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, OREGON, FRIDAY, MARCH 4. 1921. —. BEARCATS WILL MEET VARSITY El FOB TWO GAME SERIES Willamette Has Veteran Team —Lemon - Yellow Line up Will Not Change. CONTESTS TO CLOSE BASKETBALL SEASON Games Promise Real Fight Despite Earlier Victory for Oregon. The Willamette University Bearcats will furnish the opposition for the varsity basketball quintet in the final series of the season which will open at the Armory tonight at 7:30 o’clock. Willamette has a fast, team this year and so far have met with pretty fair success during the season. Although Oregon managed to take a two game series from the Methodists early in the season, both contests were hard fought and the close scores indicate that Coach Bohler’s five earned every point they made. The WTillamette quintet handed out two decisive defeats to the Aggies earlier in the season, one of these on the Corvallis floor so it will be far from easy sled ling for the Lemon%ellow quintet when they meet the Willamette aggregation tonight. These two games are the final games in the Northwest conference as well as the final contests of the season for the varsity. If Oregon can win the two games against the invaders it will mean that a percentage of 1000 wilF be the varsity standing in the Northwest conference column, although the title has already been cinched. Mathews Watches Oregon. Coach Mathews of the Willamette five watched both the Washington State-Ore gon games from the sidelines and he will make his biggest endeavor to beat the varsity here this week-end. as a final wind-up of the season. Bis squad .is made up of a quintet of veterans and they are out to redeem themselves for the defeats which they suffered at the hands of the Oregon five earlier in the season. Coach Boliler is not making any pre dictions over the outcome of the game, and he is taking no chances. The Lem on-Yellow line-up will probably be the same as that sent against the Cougars the fore part of the week, namely, Cap tain Durno and Marc Latham at for wards, “Hunk” Latham at center and ‘■Rill” Reinhart and Francis Beller at guards. Assistant manager Benefiel announces that tonight’s game will begin promptly at 7:30 o’clock, while the game on to morrow night will start sharply at 7:15. Saturday night’s game is called earlier in order to give ithe students plenty of time to get to the Eugene Theater to at tend the student body play, “Arizona.” SAMARA ELECTS SIX. Samara announces the election of Mil dred Apperson, Wanda Brown, Ruth Sanborn, Alice Thomas, Edith Perie, and Marjorie Holaday. SAMPLE PASSPORTS STUDIED FOR TOUR Travel Necessitates Discussion at Meet ing of Girls Who Are to See Eurom Passports, with all the dotted lines to be filled out to prove that one really was born, pictures to be pasted on the blank spaces, and even the sample rug roll, which has been especially ordered lor the occasion, and all the things which make one think of white-decked steamers and steamer chairs and for eign climes, were displayed and dis cussed at the meeting of the girls who are to spend next summer touring Eu rope with Miss Fox and Miss Julia Bur gess, which was held last night in Miss Fox’s office. Plans are well under way and twelve girls have now made reservations. The trip is to combine recreation and educa tion and is so arranged that all time and money will be expended to the best, possible advantage. The rug roll which has been ordered by a down-town firm, is a long strip of kaliki canvas which has pockets and pockets, so that every thing can be neatly tucked away and rolled u)). It is expected that many of the girls will use' this form of luggage as it is inexpensive and practical woulB IS GOING UP IDLY Local Stuff In Encores Will Please Campus. With the cast running through the whole opera every evening, work on the “Mikado,” Gilbert and Sullivan produc tion, is progressing rapidly, and every thing points to successful, performances throughout next week. Nell Gaylord, originally cast in the in genue role of } um-Yum, was unable to continue in the cast on account of glee club duties, and her place will probably be taken by Margaret Welch. Between Katislia and Ko-Ko, played by Mine. McGrevV and Professor Reddie respectively, there is a* ciever bit of re partee off and on, in which Professor Reddie puts some local stuff in the en cores for slams on campus things and people. He also finds time to show his ability as a dancer. Manuscript scores for the orchestra were obtained last Thursday, and Rex Underwood has been putting a small group through some stiff work to get I the music in shape. The music will be one of the big features of the production, and the complete orchestrations will en able the orchestra to make the most of their part in the opera. GLADYS GORMAN SENDS NOTE. Expressing appreciation -for contribu tions to the student fund of the Ameri can Relief Association, from the faculty of the University of Oregon, a communi cation has been received at the presi dent’s office from the headquarters of the association in New York containing a postscript greeting to the faculty from Gladys Gorman, secretary of the association, and former assistant phy sical director here in the department of physical education for women. Training for Track and Field By W. L. HAYWARD. No. 4. The 880-Yard Run. What lias been* said of the quarter mile I might say of the shortest of the distance runs; the requirements are speed, endurance and judgment. I will also discuss the stride and form. It was not necessary to remind the sprinter that it was important that he should run up on the toes; he acquires the habit natur ally in an effort to make speed, but men who run longer distances may occassion all.v be seen running flat-footed. By running on the toes I do not mean to keep on the extreme as springters do i'ut more on the ball of the foot, nor do I mean to keep that position. The best half-milers in the country run flat-foot pd at times, generally when resting. No harm comes from this unless lie runs this way all the time. The object of running on the balls of the feet is to lessen the shock to the nervous system. Wore spring into the stride eliminates the shock to muscles of legs and feet. I wish to warn against pounding and striking the track unnecessarily h> This develops what is known as “shin splints” and lame hips, which are diffi eult to cure. Tv ■» runner should by all means develop a tree, easy style and not try to run on the toes too quickly. The arm should be carried in an easy swing ing position and not held high.as in the sprints. The breathing should be nat ural, practically all distance men breathe through the nose and mouth together. Care should be taken of the feet and never allow them to become raw and sore. Be sure that the shoe$ fit. A great deal of the trouble is caused by misfit shoes. Always wear chamofse pushers and keep them clean. The ones that are most successful at this distance are the quarter-milers that have the strength to go further. A man must be able to run a fast quarter to be a good half-miler. For instance, sup posing a 2-minute half is to be run, the first quarter should be between 57 and 50 seconds, and in order to do this the runner should be able to do 52 or 5' seconds so when the 57 quarter is run it will be no more than a fairly stiff workout, with no ill effect* and with plenty of strength left to finish. A great deal of 6f50-yard work should be taken; occasionally a mile at three-quarter speed for endurance and a lot of pace work at the quarter. A half-miler must be a good judge of pace so as to know at any part of the race just how fast he is running. Careful attention must be paid to stride and arm motion. Try to develop an easy style. LIBEWSTS III Fill FIST. Sirs GRIFFIN Need of Educational Facili ties In Japan and China Held Great. FLOOD OF STUDENTS SWAMP COLLEGES Conflict Between Autocracy ' and Democracy Found , In Schools. “We in this country have a great op portunity to study affairs in the Far East and to encourage the liberalists there in their struggle to make their in fluence felt. It is up to the people of the Pacific coast to do what they can in this direction,” said Professor Eldon Griffin of the history department in his address on “International Conditions in Japan” delivered at assembly Thursday morning. ^ The great question in the Far East to day, said the speaker, is whether the liberalists in Japan and China can be brought together to crush militarism. There is great conflict, even in the edu cational world, between autocracy and democracy. Professors have been dis missed and students expelled from the colleges of Japan for expounding the doc trine of liberalism. From mere childhood respect for the emperor is drilled into the minds of the younger generation. On legal holidays the emperor’s picture is unveiled with much ceremony and students are allowed to stand for a few moments in its pres ence and “receive inspirations” said Professor Griffin. Even then, however, they are not permitted to long rhe pic ture fully in the face. In the National College of Japan there is a tragedy of the worst kind, said the speaker. Out of thousands who apply /.for admission, only about two humlred can be accepted each year. There is a crying need for greater educational fa cilities in these countries. At the beginning of assembly President Campbell reminded the students that ex aminations were only three weeks off, and suggested that those on probation would do well to obtain a tutor for the subjects in which they are weak. Carlton Savage delivered an address, “Why we should go to ‘Arizona.’ ” A square deal will be given to all, he said, for no blocks of seats will be sold to or ganizations except that the Order of the “O” has a claim to the box seats. Increase In Work Demands More Equipment. A acomplete l-e-arrangement of the University composing room has taken place, with additional equipment of the latest model, and facilities for handling the increasing amount of rush work. The latest purchase is a new Mergenthaler linotype machine, Model 8. The machine is very up to date, and both it and the one already owned by the University Press are now installed in the compos ing room. The University Press handles all the work of the University, and does print ing only for it and associate organiza tions. Since the installation of the new linotype, both machines have been run ning steadily, owing to the exceptionally large amount of business at this time of year. • Most of the University work has to be turned out during the spring term, in order to be of use for the coming year, and the added equipment will make this possible. The usefulness of the'University Press has been increasing rapidly, and with the new equipment it will be able to handle all rush work without any trouble. The annual catalogue will be set on it. Not only is the number of jobs taken care of increasing on a large scale, but also the size of the jobs handled. Other new equipment which has been installed is a Miller saw of the latest model, and a power stitcher. With these and two linotype machines of the lates^t type, one cylinder press, twfl job presses, a power folder, and a power paper cut ter, the University Press is exception ally well equipped to print books and catalogues. GETS SEVENTH PUCE Out c.f 210 Men, Robertson Makes Best Record in ) Standing Position. twenty oniTschools ' ENTERED IN CONTEST JVIajor' Rowland Says Interest > Might Be Developed By Intercollegiate Meets. The University rifle team made seventh place in the Pacific coast com petition held February 10, 11, and 12. .with a score of 1653 according to ft re 'port received from the coast, headquar ters of R, O. T. C. at San Francisco yesterday. The Oregon second team re ceived ninth place with 1601. Charles Robertson, of Oregon, made the highest score in the standing position out. of 210 men competing. His score in this was 48. I-Iis total score was also exceptionally high. There were 21 teams entered from the colleges and universities of the Pacific coast. Some of the schools had both their first and their second team in the competition, as was the case with the University. 1 Major A. K. Rowland, who handles the rifle work in the local R. O. T. C. is very much interested in intercollegiate competition in this line, as it will de ■ velop a much greater interest in the . practice for the rifle work in the sum mer camp than would otherwise be pos sible. A contest was held with O A. C. last week and other contests will be held in the future. The shooting is done on the rifle gal lery in the barracks, and the results are sent to headquarters to bo compared with the other schools. The following scores were made by the first team: Charles Robertson, 153; Orvin Gant, 173; sffed McAlister, 173; Dean Hurd, 171; Russell Olson, 172; Marvin Eby, 169; Paul Mortimore, It’S; T eland Lapham, 165; William Durham, 165, and Percy Lasselle, 164. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ FROSH BASEBALL MEN ♦ ♦ CALLED OUT BY STEERS ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Bill Steers, coach of freshman baseball, has announced practice for his squad tonight at 4:00 p. m.

Hours before the ticket sale for “Arizona,” tlje student body play, was to open at 10 o’clock this morning, there was a line of sleepy students waiting, i ready to choose their seats. As a limit of 30 tickets was made for one person, ■ a number of houses desiring more than ' this number had two freshmen on the 'jib to purchase tickets for the rest of the house. John Houston, manager of the play, reports the ticket sale is moving rapidly, and Bob Earl’s genial smile grows wider each time he directs a ' rehearsal bc 1 cause his cast have succeeded so well in y portraying" their parts. Cecil Adams has charge of properties and because bf the size of the play he ; has a big job on his hands. A number of \ costumes have been imported from the <«»outhwest and Mexico. Scenery is also quite elaborate. Although Mask and Buskin, national dramatic fraternity, has charge of the I production of “Arizona” the cast has been chosen from the student body at large. A number of students, welHknown in, other ljnes of work, have proven their .ability as dramatic stars. The curtain will rise Saturday night ^at 8:30, immediately after the basketball game. Piggers plan to meet their ladies “at the foot of the stairs” as usual. Spring Water Erodes Cliffs, Says Hodge; Railways Hit Spring water, not storm-buffeted ocean breakers, is tbe erosive agent which undermines (the sandstone costal cliffs from the southwestern British Columbia to northwestern California at an expense of millions of dollars to rail roads, asserted Dr. E. T. Hodge of the geology department who spoke before members of the Condon club Wednesday evening. Dr. Hodge had as his subject the erosion of spring uud. it’s rela tion to railroad construction on the Pa cific coast. Wave action plays a minor par*- in the erosion of the costal cliffs, a fact which railroad constructors did not learn until after they had spent great sums of money erecting useless sea walls, rtafed the lecturer who has made a special study of the western coast line of the United States and southern British Co lumbia. Waves, Jie said, build a barrier as they break on the coast and do not strike cliffs with full force. The wave erosion theory is further discounted by the fact that in places caves are found far above the reach of the water, and that frail saplings are found growing even on bold coasts. Railroads Lost Money. Anoth'er false theory which cost rail roads much money was that water flow ing over the cliffs was the troublesome erosive agent which piled debris on road beds. and in places wore cliffs back, thereby endangering expensive struc tures above. With colored chalk illus trations and humorous photographs Dr. Hodge showed that this theory was un tenable. “I hold that springs cause the cliff erosion,” declared the speaker after he had enumerated numerous mistakes made by railroads in attempting to save tracks. “The rain falls on the land above and seeps into the sandstone until it reaches impervious shale; then it comes out some place on the face of the cliff as a spring This water soaks up neighboring rock and lubricates the particles of sand so that one grain slides over another and downward movement takes plane. And other factor is that water freezes and consequent expansion shoves off great, slabs of sand. Cliff caves aro formed in this manner,” Dr. Hodge pointed out. Spring Water Responsible. ‘‘It lias been pretty well proven to my sattBfaction that the cutting away of sea cliffs is done by action of spring water,” asserted the geology instruftor. ‘‘What is the solution? How are we going to stop springs from flowing dut of the ground? By driving a tunnel into the cliff and doing for the spring what it is trying to do for itself—make it a pas sageway. A tunnel five by six feet driven back INK) feet and boarded up will catch the water.” Dr. Hodge explained that radiating tunnels from the main one would tap all the drainage in the vicin ity and eventually all the water, seeking paths of least resistance, would enter the artificial drainage system. “By thorough drainage water is taken away from the exposed face of the cliff and effect of froBt expansion are elim inated. The cost for the construction of such tunnels will not be as great as the expense of steam shovels, crib works, and damage claims, since tunnels are easily built in the soft sandstone.” STANFORD DEBATE IS TONIGHT IN VILLARD ■Remey Cox and Frederick Rice to Meet Cardinal’s Negative Forensic Team at 8:15. Tonight Oregon debaters will meel Washington and Stanford in the annua trianglar debate. Oregon’s affirmative team, composer of Remey Cox and Frederick Rice, will meet the Stanford negative team here in Villard hall at 8:15. The Stanford team is composed of Paul Rr.rcson and Dan Tanncnbaum. Dean Colin Dy rcent will act as chairman. Oregon’s negative team. John Canoles and Kenneth Armstrong, will meet the Washington affirmative team in Seattle Last year the triangular debate wu* won by Oregon. FACULTY DUDS PROPOSED DATE FOR OPENING OF SCHOOL Pall Term Will Start on Sep tember 26; Ends on December 16. PROPOSED HAWAIIAN TRIP IS SANCTIONED Rilling Made Allowing Not More Than 46 Hours 5 for Graduation. School next fall will open at the reg ,ular time. The newly proposed dates for the end of the summer vacation have been changed back to normal. This was the action taken last evening at a meet ing of the faculty when the former ae ;tion, setting the date for the opening of school a week later than usual, was re considered. Under the plan as adopted yesterday, school will begin September 26 next year, the fall term ending December 16. This will allow the customary two week vaca tion for Christmas, which with the week ends, will total 16 days. This system amounts to virtually the same as has al ways been in vogue. The action taken recently when this was changed, shorten-.. ed Christmas vacation in order to leng then the summer holidays. So general ( was the opposition to this plan that the faculty voted to reconsider, and the re sult was the establishment of the sys tem as it has always existed. Island Trip Approved. The proposed trip of the Oregon foot ball team to the Hawaiian islands next year was approved by the faculty. The University of Hawaii recently offered a guarantee of $4,500 for a game at Hono lulu Christmas day. As this would en tail the absence of the team from the University for several weeks, the mat ter was put before the faculty, and was 'yesterday approved. Although definite arrangements have not been completed, the approval of the faculty opens the ;way to the completion of the contract. Holiday football games at Honolulu are ,not a novelty. The trip wbb made last >year by the University of Nevada which played two games bn the islands. A change in the requirements for grad uation was made by the faculty which voted a ruling limiting the number of. term hours at a grade of “5” which a student might offer for credits toward a degree. Under the new ruling, 140 of the 186 ter|p hours required must be above the grade of “5”. This leaves but 46 term hours which can be counted to ward gradiuiteion at a “5” grade. The bulk of the credits, or 140 hours must, have been completed with a grade of “4” or above. Few Are Affected. ThiN new ruling, according to ,Karl Onthank, secretary to the president, will not affect many students who are ready to graduate, although some few will find that it makes their credits fall below the requirements. Due to the high standard of scholarship, few students who intend to matriculate have over the allowed number of low grades. Under the new ruling all term hours of a grade of “5” over 40 in number will be outlawed when counting credits toward a degree. CLUB MEETING IS HELD Boosters Plan To Sell Tickets for V. W. C. A.
