TWO GAME SERIES

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.

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.

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.

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;

Scenery Said To Be Elaborate;
Costumes Are Imported.
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.”

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. Banquet.
The Boosters Club composed of fresh
en an and sophomore members of the Y.
W. C. A. met at the bungalow Wednes
day afternoon and planned to sell tick
ets for the annual banquet which takes
place March 9 at the Hotel Osburn.
These girls work under the supervision
of Nancy Fields, and do all the fresh
man duties around the Y. Wu C. A. bun
galow, make announcements, serve tea
and do many other little tasks.
