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.”

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.”

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.

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

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

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.
