SHY’S MEN WIN
ISLAND GAMES
Oregon Football Team is Champion

By EP HOYT
The waving fronds and balmy air of
tropic Hawaii evidently agreed with
Oregon’s football men, for the varsity
experienced little difficulty in annex
ing both the games played at Honolulu.
The first game was played with the
University of Hawaii on December 26
and resulted in a 47 to 0 landslide for
the Lemon-Yellow while the second
game played last Monday ended in a
35-0 win over the strong navy team
from Pearl Harbor, the champions of
the islands.
» • *
Forward passing and the brilliant
playing by the Oregon backB featured
the tilt with the Honolulu varsity.
Against the attack of Captain Mart
Howard’s clan the Hawaiians were
powerless, and their line failed to hold
against the onrush of the Lemon-Yellow
backs.
Chapman started the ball rolling for
the Oregonians when he slid over for
the first counter early in the initial
period. Three more touchdowns were
added in the second quarter when King,
Latham and Reinhart crossed the
islanders’ goal line, Spike Leslie miss
ing one goal in the first half out of
four attempts. “Hunk” Latham an
nexed his second touchdown in the
third canto from a forward pass, Les
lie kicking goal. In the final half
Billy Reinhart celebrated his return to
active service after being out of all
the games since the Willamette contest
early in October romped across the
whitewash for two touchdowns, the
first on a line play and the second on
a forward pass, Latham to Reinhart.
Leslie connected once in two attempts
at goal kicks in the final quarter.
• • •
In the Monday’s game with the
sailors from Pearl Harbor, the varsity
did not permit the Navy eleven to get
within 30 yards of the web-foot goal
and outclassed the island champions
in every department of play, scoring
every period save the third. Mart
Howard, veteran end, scored the first
on a forward pass from Chapman while
in the second frame Chapman sent
another pass to Latham across the line.
The third period was barren of scores
but in the final quarter Gram went
over on a lino buck, Callison blocked
one of the sailors punts and Spike Les
lie fell on the ball behind the Hawai
ians final marker, and in the last sec
ond of play Billy Reinhart slipped
around end for the final touchdown.
Spike Leslie* converted his kicks after
each touchdown and the final score read
Oregon 35, Navy 0.
With two husky victories added to
the win column by the Hawaiian trip
the balance of points has swung back
into Oregon’s favor. At the close of
the Conference season the varsity had
74 points rolled up against it, but at
Hawaii the Lemon-Yellow gleaned 82
points for the Oregon column giving
a pair of goose eggs in exchange which
keepB the opponents total stationary
at 74. The season’s record follows:
Oregon 7 .Willamette 3
Oregon 21 _._Pacific 7
Oregon 7 .Idaho 7
Oregon 0 . California 39
Oregon 7 ...W. S. C. 7
Oregon 0 .Aggies 0

According to a letter from Jack
Benefiel which Lois Pixley received
recently the people of Honolulu spared |
no pains to make Oregon’s football
men feel at home. The welcoming
crowd was adorned with yellow and
green leis around their necks, and as
the Maui docked the awaiting band j
started up “Mighty Oregon.” However,:
the band struck up a wedding march i
as Jack Benefiel and Shy Huntington!
descended the gang plank with their
brides. Several of the men were
troubled with sickness going over but !
recovered at sight of land.
The Christmas holidays witnessed]
some marvelous exhibitions of dope-1
spilling in the football line. Washing
ton and Jefferson University, figured
by the wise ones as just “more grist
for Andy Smith’s mill,” turned the
tables and played the Golden Bear to a
nothing to nothing score, and inciden
tally outplayed the Californians in j
every department of play. The Presi
dents lost a chance to win the game
by actual scores when Stein, an All-!
American selection, was offside on a
play that carried the pigskin over the j
Bruins’ goal.
The Arizona-Center debacle may ■
prove as a warning to private interests
seeking to commercialize the only
strictly college sport. A southern Cali
fornia cloudburst hit San Diego about

SHI’ HUNTINGTON
RE-ELECTED COUCH
FOR ANOTHER TEAR
Executive Council Adopts
Football Committee Report
at Long Session
1922 SCHEDULE RATIFIED
Dean of Physical Education
Given Authority Over
Athletic Department
The following report which was made
to the Executive Council at the regular
session last night was adopted by that
body in a meeting which adjourned at
a late hour. The report was drawn
up by the football committee prior to
the departure of the football team for
the Hawaiian Islands but action of the
Executive Council was delayed on ac
count of the vacation period until the
regular meeting last night.
The committee recommends the re
engagement of Charles A. Huntington
as head football coach for the academic
year 1922-23, at a salary of $4,000.
The committee approves the football
schedule made by Graduate Manager
Benefiel at the meeting of the North
west and Pacific Coast Conferences in
December, and recommends it to the
Executive Council for ratification. The
committee believes that the preliminary
negotiations at the recent conference
will make possible a still more advan
tageous schedule for 1923.
The committee unanimously passed
a resolution of compliment to line
coach Bart Spellman for his excellent
work on the line in the season just
passed, and for his general helpfulness
in keeping up the morale of the squad.
The members of the committee de
sire to take cognizance of the prevail
ing rumors of certain inharmonies and
lack of cooperation in the school of
physical education, and urge upon the
Executive Council to instruct those
persons whom it elects to positions in
coaching that they are members of the
staff of the department of athletics in
the school of physical education, and
that they shall give their best coopera
tion to the general program of the
school of physical education. The com
mittee regards the department of ath
letics as an essential part of the edu
cational program of the school, and
recommends to the Council that it im
press upon all those members of the
department of athletics over whom it
has any jurisdiction that they must
either work smoothly and effectively
with the rest of the school or lay be
fore the council reasons why they can
not do so.
The committee further recommends
to the Council that it do its utmost to
promote the speedy organization of the
department of athletics of the school
of physical education to the end that
lines of authority may be clearly out
lined. This recommendation is made
with the thought that if lines of author
ity are clearly outlined, overlapping of
work and friction, either now or in the
future, and either within the depart
ment of athletics or in the department’s
relations with the rest of the school,
will be minimized.
COLIN V. DYMENT, Chairman.
NEW SORORITY ON CAMPUS
Alpha Sigma, Local Organization, Starts
With Ten Members
A new sorority, the Alpha Sigma,
has been formed on the campus. The
organization, located at 735 Patterson
street, is composed of the following
members: Bettie Kessi (House Presi
dent), Portland; Wanda Daggett, Port
land; Dorothy Chausse, Portland;
Louise Odell, Portland; Dorothy Cash,
Portland; Helen Hoefer, Fresno, Cal.;
Waive Anderson, Sand Point, Idaho;
Martha Pickens, Heber Springs, Arkan
sas; Gladys Royse, Wasco, and Jane
Huson, Cornelius, Oregon. Mrs. Jane
M. Page is housemother.
Y. M. PHONOGRAPH CRIPPLED
Phonograph music is greatly missed
around the Y. M. C. A. since the re
producer of the instrument disappeared
sometime during the Christmas holi
days. If anyone knows where this
reproducer can be found, it will be
greatly appreciated if he will give the
information to either Secretary Put
nam or Mrs. C. B. Donnelly at the Hut.
STANFORD STADIUM PAID FOR
The Stanford Stadium, the estimated
cost of which was $210,000, has been
completed and paid for at a total cost
of $204,639.32. The Board of Athletic
Control has paid the last contractor’s
bill.
F’s Used for rs
Charge Against
Scandal Sheet
That most assiduously read of all
campus publications, the * ‘ Scandal
Sheet” (nee Grade Sheet), is again
the only topic of conversation wher
ever two or more students gather.
Everybody’s worst suspicions of
everybody else have now been con
firmed. And to make the disaster
complete, grades that one hoped
' would be a secret among themselves,
| their instructor, and their Creator,
have been made known to their
family and friends. One girl is still
explaining to her scandalized parents
that the report of “Clothing, Inc.,”
had nothing personal in its meaning.
One brilliant journalism student In
sists that the “Scandal Sheet” Is
not a “scandal” sheet at all but a”
“libel sheet,” since scandal is some
thing that passes about by word of
mouth, libel is a printed untruth.
Most students stand not on this
technical point, however, but con
cern themselves with wondering If
the faculty, wishing to celebrate the
holidays properly, did not leave the
grades to the discretion of the print
ers. The rumor runs that an alpha
betical list and a quota of grades
were given the printers, and they
sprinkled ones, twos and fives at
their pleasure. Then they ran out of
grades and gave the rest flunks.
The professors, however, rise up in
indignation and insist poor grades
were given only after prayer and
fasting. /
Well anyway, if everybody does
what he says he is going to do the
printing office should order a new
case of Boman I’s and can throw
away all V’s and F’s as unnecessary
hereafter.
L. E. BEAN TO TALK ON TAX
LANE COUNTY REPRESENTATIVE
WILL ADDRESS ASSEMBLY
Emphasis Will be Laid by Speaker on
the Support of State
Institutions
With the last flurry of the Christmas
holidays over and the students settling
down to serious work, the first Uni
versity assembly of the winter term
will be held at eleven o’clock this
morning in Villard hall to hear Mr. L.
E. Bean, the speaker of the State House
of Representatives. Mr. Bean wil dis
cuss the tax situation within the state.
Mrs. Thacher will present the selection
Tarentelle from Chopin.
Mr. Louis E. Bean is well known to
the members of the University and to
the citizens of Eugene and Lane Coun
ty. He is a member of an old pioneer
family, which came originally from
Missouri, and himself was born in Lane
County in 1867.
In speaking of the taxes throughout
the state, Mr. Bean will lay especial
emphasis on those taxes which provide
for the support of the University, O.
A. C., and the Normal School. Fully
half of the present student body will
remember the campaign of the spring
of 1920 which resulted in the voting of
the millage tax to increase the Univer
sity revenues.
President Campbell will preside at
the assembly.

FALL ENROLLMENT
WILL BE EQUALLED,
ASSERTS REGISTRAR
30 Dropped From University
Because of Failure to
Make Grades
111 HAVE UNDER 9 HOURS
81 On Probation; More Will
Follow if Gym Credit is
Not Counted
The enrollment nil the University
this term will equal that of the fall,
according to the registrar’s office.
Thus far no data on the new registra
tion is available for publication. Large
numbers who have signed up for courses
up until yesterday had not turned in
their cards to the registrar. The office
is moving more rapidly than usual with
the work this semester and will have
the official figures in a few days.
To make up for those who have
dropped out or have been obliged to
leave on account of failing to meet
the requirements, many old students
have returned and there is a scattering
of new ones. It is estimated that about
thirty-five freshmen will be added to
the roster.
Four Probationers Dropped
Thirty flunked out of the University
entirely. Of this number 26 failed to
make three hours. The remaining four
were students who were on probation
from last semester and did not make
the required number of hours to re
main. The requirement for those on
probation is that enough hours be made
during the second semester to total
seventeen for the two terms. Those
failing on this requirement aro given
no further chance.
Eighty-one students have been placed
on probation for this term. This en
ables those whose work was unsatis
factory during the past term to re
deem themselves. The University’s at
titude toward probationary students,
according to Carlton Spencer, regis
trar, is that they have no right in the
college except as they aro granted the
special privilege of a trial. They aro
liable to be dropped any time for an
unsatisfactory showing. In reality
they are outsiders with the special
privilege of “looking in.”
Many High Grades Made
Registrar Spencer said that from all
appearances the registration for the
winter term would come to about the
same figure as at the beginning of the
year. He was inclined to doubt the
rumor that but 30 per cent of those
enrolled last semester passed in every
thing—made all their hours. Ho stated
that he thought the proportion was
greater than this figure.
Commenting on the considerable num
ber of failures that have been turned
in Spencer said, “Although there aro
perhaps more failures than ever before,
there also have been more good grades
turned in. It seems that those who
evidenced a desire to put energy into
their work have reaped the reward of
high marks. Those who have hereto
fore been able to shirk and yet pass
have on the whole flatly failed.’’
Preparation Declared Poor
“The fact that the freshmen have
had such difficulty in obtaining good
grades may be attributed to the in
adequacy of the high school prepara
tion. The great difference between
high school and college curricula has
made adjustment to our system diffi
cult especially since personal attention
by the instructor becomes daily more
impossible because of the sizes of the
classes. ’ ’
Nothing has yet been done by the
registration office toward the compil
ing of the organization standings. Mr. j
Spencer expects that it will take at 1
least a month to arrange them.
Gym Credits Counted
On the initiative of the registrar
students have been permitted to count
their physical education credit as one
hour and have thus, in many cases,
kept off the probation list. If, how
ever, the faculty decides that hours in
physical education shall not be counted,
the probationers, who now number 81,
will probably increase past the hundred
(Continued on page two)
DANCE SATURDAY NIGHT
Saturday night has been finally
decided upon for the student body
dance, according to Art Campbell,
chairman of the dance committee.
The usual six-piece orchestra will
feature and the dance will be held
in the Woman’s building.
GYM CREDIT TO COUNT
IN PROBATION RULES
Only 16 Term Hours to be Given to
* Students Failing to Make
An Average Above III
A ruling providing that any student
may take as few as 1- or as many as
19 hours of scholastic work with the
proviso that he shall not receive more
than 16 term hours credit toward gradu
ation, unless his grades average above
III, was adopted by the faculty at a
meeting held in Guild Hall yesterday
afternoon.
This change means broadening of the
range of hours that the student may
'ake. Under the old rule no student
was allowed to carry less than 13 or
more than 18 term hours of work.
It was also decided that the hour in
physical education gained in any term
may be counted in applying to the rules
if probation. Under tho University
regulations any student making less
than nine hours in one term is placed
on probation and is not allowed to re
turn to school unless ho makes at least
seventeen hours in his last two terms.
Hours gained in physical education did
not count under the old ruling but may
be included under the new regulation.

week, December 14, the faculty com
mitteo sanctioned the organization of I
the Kappa Delta Phi local fraternity. I
Tho organizers of the fraternity have
been silently at work the greater part
of the fall term, and were ready to go |
into the house immediately upon the I
granting of permission by the faculty, i
The new local is located across from 1
the Beta house.
The membership, composed of 14

Guilty of Vandalism in
Holiday Period
Complaint* made to the faculty dis
cipline committee that a number of
fraternity and sorority houses on the
campus were broken into during the
holiday vacation period may rosult in
serious charges being placed against
the culprits. The faculty committee
is investigating and will undoubtedly
follow up the clues with a view to
ascertain whether the offenders were
students.
According to the complaints the
houses were entered sometime between
2 and 5 o 'clock in the morning of
New Year’s day.
Doors and windows were forced in
two sorority houses, but in most of
the fraternity houses entered the men
made their way in through unlocked
doors.
Entry Made by Window
In one sorority house a window wu
broken out and one man evidently
went through the window and unlocked
the door, admitting others of the
party. In another sorority house the
men broke the lock on the large front
door. In the case of both of these
houses, girls were sleeping in the house
at the time, but the intruders made no
attempt to go up tho stairs. They re
mained on the first floor singing and
pounding tho pianos.
No report of the affair was mado to
the police of Eugone, the girls being
too badly frightenod to go downstairs
to the telephone even after the invaders
evidently had departed. According to
their story there were probably eight
or ten men in the crowd. Some of
them, however, wero heard to be re
monstrating with tho others when they
broke into tho houses.
Damage in Men’s Houses
In a number of the men’s frater
nity houses which were entered on the
samo night tho culprits, who were prob
ably the samo ones who entered the
sorority houses, did more or less dam
ago in a small way. Nothing has been
reported stolon from any of tho houses,
however, and it is generally thought
that the intrusion was merely an act
of rowdyism.
This is not the first time that com
plaints of this sort have boon made fol
lowing a vacation period and it is
generally felt by the residents of the
houses which were entered that the cul
prits should be dealt with rather se
verely. Members of tho faculty dis
cipline committee would not say yes
terday just what means the committee
was taking to ascertain the idontity
of tho members of the party, or what
punishment would bo meted out if they
wero apprehended.
