Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXIII. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 29, 1921. NUMBER 41 VARSITY HOOPERS BEGIN WORK; EOUR VETERANS IN LINE Material Available Promises to Make Team Strongest in Several Years 4 HIGH SCHOOL STARS HERE Christmas Trip Postponed on Account of Failure to Schedule Games Varsity basketball practice, starting this week will be on Monday, Wednes day and Friday evenings at 8:30. This is being done so that the best material may be picked out for the squad which will begin practice in earnest after the Christmas holidays. Coach Bohler had in view a trip for the team during the Christmas vaca tion, but games have been so hard to schedule with desired teams that this is practically a past matter. If this does carry through though a squad of eight or ten men will probably play ten or twelve games during the vaca tion, and return to Eugene in time for the opening of the Winter term. This trip would be good practice for the men, but there are so many obstacles in the way now that the Coach regards it as improbable. Strong Nucleus for Team There are four of last year’s team available this year for basketball, and a great wealth of men who have not yet won their letter. The four letter men that are back are: Mare and Hugh "Latham, Francis Beller, and Bill Rein hart. These men are all star perform ers and should form the neucleus for a very strong Varsity team. Probable material for the varsity includes such men as Roll Andre, Ralf Couch, Arvin Burnett, Meredith Bea ver, all of whom were on the squad last year, and Bill McMillan, Francis Alt stock, Hadden Rockhey, Hal Chapman, and Leo Goar, of last year’s frosh team. Andre Fast Man Of these men Roll Andre is the best bet for a Varsity berth, for he is by far the fastest man on the squad, a clever passer, and also a good shot. Couch, Burnett, Goar, and Chapman are all good guards, and any one of them may make the team as the situation now stands. Other forwards available besides Andre, are Hugh Clerin, Francis Altstock, Hadden Rockhey and Mere dith Beaver, all of whom have a chance to make good. Bill McMillan at cen ter will battle it out with Hunk La tham for the regular berth. Although there is no Eddie Durno available for the team, Andre will no doubt help fill the vacant space, and with the other material available, the team this year should be the strongest that Oregon has entered in the Con ference for some time. New Date Plan Is Tried; May Be Traditional The absence of strollers along the mill race and other shady spots on Sun ; day evenings is the result of the de cision of the' heads of houses to try ! out a plan of making Sunday night I a stay at home night. There is no rule against Sunday even i ing dates, contrary to the popular sup position. It was suggested at the last ijieeting of the heads of houses. They acted upon it by requesting the mem bers of their respective houses to make no engagements for Sunday evenings henceforth. The situation is simply the trying out of this plan. It may or it may not be permanent. Probably the heads of houses will decide that at their next meeting when they hear a report of the working out of the plan. Dean Fox upon being interviewed says that there is really nothing to say about it. There may be a ruling con cerning the matter, or it may be drop- ] ped. Perhaps this is a tradition in the : making. SHELDON TO TALK TONIGHT FORUM ON DISARMAMENT CON FERENCE WILL BE HELD on Movement Toward Peace, and Dean of School of Education to Talk Social Question of World _ Have wars been useful in the past? Can there be any great social prog ress in the world without war? Is there an instinct to fight that must and should have an outlet? What do the “people” of the world want? Dean H. D. Sheldon, of the school of education, will try to answer as many such questions as sixty minutes will permit tonight, in the Y Hut, from 7 to 8 o’clock. He has proven himself a fluent and keen speaker in his former appearances befoTe the student body and should be able to handle a few hundred of them. The occasion is the first forum on the Disarmament Conference, there being a number of others to follow on speci fic questions involved. Dr. Sheldon’s topic is “The Relation of the Move ment Toward Peace to the Great So cial Questions Facing the World.” The campus bolsheviks, reformers, and ex-service gobs will have ample opportunity to shoot the Dean’s argu ments full of holes during the last 1 half hour of the forum. In an inter j view with Dean Sheldon, who was i fortified by a stack of books and of | ficial looking documents, he defines his I position thus: “I may not be able to ! solve all of the problems, but I pro : pose to answer all of them. Tell ’em not to stay away if they don’t think | tliev’11 agree with me, because I wouldn’t have any crowd to talk at.” Lyle Bartholomew, president of the A. S. IT. O., will preside and he prom ises that the fireworks will begin promptly at 7 o’clock, and cease promptly 8 o ’clock. In the words of Yell King “Obie,” “men, women, children and faculty are i invited.” Eighteen Teams of Debators To Start Tournament Tonight 4 Debating, for the championship of the men’s doughnut league, will begin tonight at 7 o ’clock, in the Business Administration and Oregon buildings, with 18 teams, representing eight or ganizations in the field.

I WORLD ADVERTISING CLUB HEAD 10 SPEAK AT NEXT ASSEMBLY Educational Campaign of As sociation is Topic of C. H. Mackintosh PERSONALITY IS DYNAMIC Accomplishments of Speaker Outstanding in Field of Publicity Charles Henry Mackintosh, of Chi cago, the president of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World, will address the assembled student body on Thursday morning. Nearly every stu dent has heard him speak before—by proxy. During the days of war stress, when you heard a Four Minute Man in every moving picture house you en tered, the stirring speeches that you heard came from Mr. Mackintosh, as editor of the Bulletins of the Four Minute Men. He thus spoke every day through mouths of 75,000 speakers, in every nook and cranny of the United States. Mr. Mackintosh will have a real mes sage about the great educational plans of the advertising clubs. The pur pose of the educational work of the advertising association is to make ad vertising more interesting and more helpful to the public, as well as more profitable to the advertisers. The great ideal of advertising men is to present attractive ads, free from any element of untruth. Entire Time Given to Club No president of the Associated Ad vertising Clubs has done for the as sociation and for the cause of better and more productive advertising, what Mr. Mackintosh is doing. Upon elec tion, he left his duties as director of sales and advertising of LaSalle Ex tension University, Chicago, in the hands of others, so as to devote his entire time to the work of the organi zation for the year. He is serving the association without compensation. He closed his desk, packed his grip and took to the road, on a tour that in cludes every advertising club in the United States and Canada—more than 200, all told. He is out to present the story of the work and the plans of the organization at first hand to the busi ness men of North America. Intensity Is Known Mr. Mackintosh is not only a force ful speaker, but a man of a dynamic personality, as well. A recent writer of a magazine article concerning him said that if he had a slogan, it would be: “I would rather be a finely at tuned watch spring whose life is but a year, than forty tons of iron ore.” Mr. Mackintosh \s countless admirers have, in describing him, commented upon the fact that few men, at his age, have been able to accomplish as much as he has. He learned long ago that man’s accomplishment does not depend so much upon the number of years he is on a job as upon the inten sity with which he cultivates his time. Address Termed Whirlwind Professor W. F. G. Thaeher, adver tising instructor, who has followed the career of Charles Mackintosh for the past three years comments as fol lows: “In my opinion President Mac kintosh is the outstanding figure of the advertising world. His personality is characterized by his dynamic action and initiative. His unusually stirring addresses have been acclaimed ‘whirl wind speeches.’ T am sure that we are all looking forward with a great deal of pleasure to his appearance on Thurs day.” $300 PRIZES FOR ESSAYS International Relations Subjects for Articles by Students The Institute of International Edu cation is offered $300 in prizes for the best essays submitted before January 1, by any undergraduate student in the United States, on the following sub jects: How may Japan Provide for its Increasing Population Without Violat ing the Rights of Other Countries?;The Open Door Policy of China; and the Relations of the East and West. Es says are to be submitted to the United States secretary of the International Relations Club, New York. EMERALD STAFF MEETING There will be an important meet ing of the Emerald staff in the shack tonight at 7:15 sharp. It is very important that all members of the news staff be present. WINGED M PUT TO FLIGHT BY OREGON SCORE IS 21 TO 7 Lemon-Yellow Football Sea son Ends With Multnomah Club Contest TIE SCORES FEATURE YEAR Two Post-Conference Games In Hawaii to Come; No Line on Islanders season Record Oregon 7 _Willamette 3 Oregon 21 .Pacific U. 7 Oregon 7 . Idaho 7 Oregon 0 .....California 39 Oregon 7...W. S. C. 7 Oregon 0 . Aggies 0 Oregon 21 .Multnomah 7 By EP HOYT The old dope bucket was given an other healthy boot Thanksgiving day when the varsity trampled the winged M in the mud of Multnomah field. Shy's men were conceded but an out side chance to win from Philbrook’s aggregation even with the reversal of form that* has been evinced since the California muss. But the Lemon-Yel low stepped out and showed some real class in the game which wound up the season as far as their games are con cerned in these United States of Ameri ca. Not that it was any walk away, for despite the score, Bill Steers and com pany were there all the time afford ing danger. With a score, Oregon 11, Multnomah 7, the clubmen carried the ball down within striking distance of the Lemon-Yellow goal only to bo turned back by brilliant defensive playing from making the tying score. Two Brilliant Passes Bring Score Then with a seven point lead, but always menaced by the steady drive of Multnomah toward that tying score, and with but four minutes to go, Ore gon recovered a partially blocked punt that Latham sent for 25 yards and took the ball on her own 40 yard line. A few ineffectual attempts were made to gain ground on line bucks and then two brilliant passes, Chapman to Lath am and Latham to Howard shoved the ball over the goal for the third toueh down. The procession was ended when the final whistle blew a few' minutes later. (Continued on page four) BRECON CLUB CIS WIN ALPHA DELTS DEFEATED 19 TO 5 IN FIRST GAME OF SERIES Eleven Organizations to Compete for Doughnut Basketball Championship; Two Sub-Leagues Formed The Oregon Club basketball team was the winner in the first of the girl’s doughnut basketball series. They defeated the Alpha Delta Pi team by a score of 19 to 5. The game was a good one for the first of the season end both teams had to fight hard. There are 11 teams in the league and they are all out for the Laraway cup which the Gamma Phi Beta team won from Ilendricks Hall last year by one point. The girls have been working hard for the past two 'weeks at. the regular afternoon practices and almost every evening one or two houses have been holding special practices in the indoor and outdoor gymnasiums. Miss Grace Snook has been coaching the teams and she says that the contest is certain to be a close one. The teams have been divided into two sub-leagues with Alpha Delta Pi, Oregon Club, Chi Omega, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Gamma Phi Beta and Pi Beta Phi in league T and Susan Campbell Hall, Delta Delta Delta, Hendricks Hall, Delta Zeta and Kappa Alpha Theta in league II. Each team will play every other team in its league and the two winning teams will play for the championship. Beginning this afternoon a game in each league has been scheduled for every afternoon at 5:15 in the outdoor gymnasium. Ten minute halves will be played with ten minutes ,?st at which time the second team will ~o on 1 the floor. In order to finish the series j in two weeks it has been necessary to schedule three games for the same afternoon on four afternoons. On these days the teams will draw to de cide who plays in the indoor gymnas ium. The games scheduled for this after noon are Ghi Omega vs. Kappa Kappa flnmma and Hendricks Hall vs. Delta Zeta. “OLDER BOYS” TO MEET IN EUGENE NEXT YEAR Three Annual Conferences to Combine L. H. Putnam Representative of Campus “Y" to Corvallis At the aunual Older Boy's Con ference of the Willamette valley, held in Corvallis on November 25-26-27, it was decided to hold next year's con ference in Eugene. It was partly through the efforts of the campus “Y” that this decision was reached, as that organization, as representative of the University, secured letters from Presi dent Campbell and the student coun cil, and read these, together with its own invitation, at the conference last week-end. These invitations from the University were read in connection with similar ones from the downtown “Y,” the mayor of Eugene and the Chamber of Commerce, so that the mat ter was so well placed before the con ference in Corvallis that it unanimously decided to meet in this city for the 1922 session. The “Y’s” suggestion of combining the three conferences held annually into one, to take place here next year, was also accepted. At least two of the conferences, the Willamette Valley and the Southern Oregon, will in all prob ability be combined. This will bring over 500 bdvs to Eugene, and inci dentally to the University campus. Tt is felt that there will be a good chance to demonstrate the opportunities await ing them at Oregon, ns most of these men are from high schools, and within a few years of college matriculation. Tj. P. Putnam, the new “Y” secre tary, represented the campus at the conference in Corvallis^ with Roy Veatcli, Bruce McConnell, and TTnrold Elsensohn. FROSH FIVES ID PRACTICE EDDIE DURNO TO COACH INFANT BASKETBALL SQUAD Prep School Stars Included Among Those Who Will Try Out For Places on Team Freshman basketball practice starts this evening at 8:20 and will come on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 8:,10 and Saturday afternoons, till after the doughnut series is over, when practice will probably be held at more convenient hours. Eddie Dnrno is the freshman coach this year, and with the great mass of material on hand chances for a good frosh team are bright. According to Coach Durno the men with reputations will have no more chance for the team than any of the others, and the men that make the team will have to show their ability on the floor. Among the men playing in the dough nut series who have shown up well are: Ashby and Schaeffer, both from Salem, and both are also All State basketball men. Ashby is a guard, while Schaffer plays either guard or forward. King and Meyers, both from Portland, both have been placed on the All Star team of the Tnterseholastie league of Portland. Murray, who played for Eugene; Wright from The Dallies, Smith from Medflord, Jones from Salem, Aim of Silverton, and Peterson, Campbell, Young, Harding, Staley, Burton, and Jaeobberger, all of whom are experienced basketball men, fill out an imposing array of basketeers. TEA TO BE HELD AT BUNGALOW The regular Women’s Ltiague tea will be held Tuesday, November 29th, at the Y. W. ('. A. instead of the Wo man ’s building. Tea will be served from 4 to 5 p. m. and from 5 to 6 a program has been arranged and the stu dent secretaries of the various churches will speak. Everyone is urged to be ?)n hand. FLAK SUGGESTED FOR ELECTION OF ATHLETIC DIRECTOR Intercollegiate Sports Urged to be University Rather Than Student Activity SYSTEM UNSATISFACTORY i _ Dean Bovard, Alumni and Many Students Favor New Method of Management “It must be realized that athletics are becoming more and more a normal function of the University and that there are at present two distinct sys tems of handling intercollegiate ath letics now in operation in American colleges and universities,” declared Dr. John P. Bovard, dean of the school of physical education, yesterday. There is on the one hand, according to the Dean, the system now in use by the University of California, where athletics are handled entirely separate from the University. A board of con trol composed of nine students, three alumni and one faculty member has complete supervision of all contracting for coaches, and in fact all matters pertaining to tho athletic policy of the institution. Under such a system ath letics are handled entirely as a stu dent activity rather than a University function. The example of tho second system is that in use by the Univorsity of Illinois. Here a director of athletics is elected. He is a member of the faculty and is paid by the Univer sity to have charge of all athletic mat ters, including the supervision of all coaching. Under this system the coaches too arc paid by. the Univer sity, and in this manner the athletics department takes its true place as a University activity rather than a stu dent activity. “The universities must realize that athletics are playing their part as a great unit in character building,” said Dr. Bovard, in commenting upon the JVstom now in use by Illinois. “They should place this department on a Uni versity basis.” Tn the opinion of Dean Bovard and many students on the campus the sys tem of a director of athletics if in stalled here would bring about much better harmony in the athletic depart ment. It. has been rumored that there is friction between some of the coaches | here. Investigation of the plan of a direc tor of athletics has been made, but it | is not known just what stand the Uni versity might take on the matter. The matter of financing such a system is of no small importance, as this would i take the payment of eoachos and train ers entirely out of the hands of the as sociated students. Tf such a plan is adopted here it is thought advisable that the proposed director of athletics work in connec tion with the present executive council as well as with the faculty. This would then enable him to get the opinion of this representative organization in the proper selection of conches. Under the present system at Oregon, which many declare is proving highly unsatisfactory because there is no executive at the head of the depart ment of athletics, the coaches are paid ! by the University and the Associated (Continued on page two) Extra Turkey Holiday Worth Effort, In Students’ Opinion Eating anil sleeping were the main events on the program during our late Thanksgiving vaeation. Every stu dent, it seems, in some way made the best of his leisure hours to sneak forty winks under the protection of Mor pheus or to rush tableward for the seasonable feast. Nearly 500 students spent Thanks giving day on the campus. Rome were stranded because of the uncertain transportation service which has re sulted from the recent storms. Others could not find time to join in the homeward rush on account of too many miles to cover in too little time. Tt is also reported that there were seen a few who, in view of the remaining 18 days before the end of the term, stayed here to study. No doubt there were many whose sick pocket books could have coaxed no tickets from the South ern Pacific. Social festivities on the campus over the holidays were numerous. With the suspension of house rules, and the suspension of all activities for a few precious hours of much needed ami heartily greeted respite, everyone grasped the opportunity to rest as well as celebrate. Many were the men who were joyfully surprised, after predict ing a dull time for themselves over the holidays because of the closing down of the dining rooms, with invitations to the women’s organizations to en joy a real Thanksgiving repast. There also comes expressions of satis faction from those whose bank books permitted them to make the trip home —as well as from those who did not allow the sad condition of their fi nances to interfere with their possi bility of traveling. Afore than 500 turkey hungry students made the eight hour journey to Portland on the special train Wednesday. The metropolis was full of excitement over the holidays, those who went there state. There was the football game and the intercollegi ate hop, together with many private reunions and holiday get togethers.
