Battle With Idaho Monday and
Tuesday May Not Result in
Victory for Oregon
SUNDODGERS WILL INVADE
Washington University Team
Said to be Going Smoothly
and Composed of Stars
I
Four hard games, two with the Uni
versity of Idaho, and two with the
University of Washington will fur
nish the attraction for basketball fans
during the coming week. On Monday
and Tuesday evenings the Moscow
“Vandals,” with one of the strongest
quintetts in the history of the north
ern school will lock horns with the var
sity hoopers, while on Friday and Satur
day Bohler’s boys will take on the
Sundodgers, or as they have recently
requested themselves called, the “Vik
ings,” rated as the class of the con
ference.
At present the varsity tossers are in
the north. They left Wednesday even
ing for three games, one with the Camp
Lewis on Thursday evening on the
Camp Lewis floor, and a two game ser
ies with Washington to wind up the
trip. Only six men accompanied Coach
George M. Bohler on the swing north,
Andre, Latham, and Rockhey, for
wards; Zimmerman, center and Burnett
and Couch, guards. The team, weak
ened by the loss of Francis Beller, who
did not make the trip, went down to
defeat in the Thursday night tangle
with Lieutenant Cecil Jamieson’s sold
iers, 32-26.
Victory not Assured
According to old King Dope victory
is not likely to find itself seated on the
broad shoulders of the Oregon athletes
as both the Vandals and the Vikings
have strong and speedy teams composed
of veterans, and both teams experi
enced little difficulty in winning their
pre-season games. When Idaho opens
up on the armory floor, University
basketball fans will have another op
portunity to see a Captain Rich in
action, for the Gem Stater’s are led
by a lad named Rich who is, inciden
tally, their outstanding star and main
point getter- The captains running
mate, A1 Fox, will also enter the local
lists with an excellent reputation as a
shifty floor man and consistent shot.
During the Christmas holidays the
Vandals played a 10 game schedule
with the fastest amateur teams in east
ern Washington and Idaho and suc
ceeded in winning them all handily by
decisive scores. This is Idaho’s first
year of play in the Pacific Coast con
ference and if they live up to their
advance notices should push them all
for the places near the top.
Sundodgers Have Stars
The Sundodging “Vikings” from
Seattle who will furnish the opposi
tion on Friday and Saturday nights
should have a smooth working aggrega
tion as the team is made up of vete
rans who are all listed as real stars.
The men who stayed in Eugene,
Veatch, Altstock, Edlunds, Goar, and
Rice wiil practice under Eddie Durno
over the week end and will have plenty
of chance to get into action in the four
games next week, according to Coach
Bohler, who will get back to Eugene
with his proteges on Sunday afternoon.
Banquetting Editors Discuss
Ideals and Powers of Press
The responsibility, power, and ideals
of those who choose journalism as a
profession, was the prevailing note of
the speeches at the banquet given for
visiting newspapermen and journalism
students at the Osburn Hotel last night.
Edgar B. Piper, editor of the Portland
Oregonian, B. Frank Irvine, editor of
the Oregon Journal, and George P.
Cheney gave the most important
speeches of the evening. Addison Ben
nett, of the Oregonian, Gilbert Parker
of the Associated Press, and Miss
Helen Manning gave short talks. L
L. Ray, President of the Chamber of
Commerce welcomed the editors, and
President P. L. Campbell acted as
toastmaster.
Mr. Piper, the last speaker on the
program, made his talk especially in
response to an address previously given
on “Some Neglected Opportunities in
Journalism.” He expressed the sin
cere belief that every editor was work
ing toward his ideal of what his news
paper should mean to the community:
that all were striving to attain ae
curacy in retailing occurrences, and
| honesty in policy. Mr. Piper said he
believed the greatest honor and respect
was due the pioneers and makers of
the newspapers as leaders in the ex
' pression of the thought of their com
munities.
Mr. Irvine, in his talk on “News
paper Ideals” showed the especial re
sponsibility and power of the news
j paper in the United States where the
people are self governed- Against 400
' generations of government by kings
we have had about four generations
: of self government, he declared. It is
quite possible, he says, that in the fu
j ture some great popular wave of feel
t ing may seize so many minds question
ing whether self government is a safe
government, that trouble may ensue.
It is imperative Mr. Irvine believes,
that men shall think for themselves,
and that toward this end journalism
is a social force beyond anything that
has ever before been known to civi
lization.
Mr. Cheney talked on the neglected
(Continued oa page fonr)
Like Jes James,
Friendly Frosh
Shatters Light
If the westerner of thirty years ago
was noted for his accuracy with a
"shootin’ am,” heredity played no
part in the life of a certain frosh
who resides at Friendly. As a Jesse
James he would make a wonderful
William J. Bryan. If this frosh is
ever called upon to do the "William
Tell” act, the heart of the writer
goes out to the unfortunate lad who
has to hold the apple.
This frosh betook himself to the
army department of the University
with the idea of demolishing his al
lowance of targets. After selecting
a blunderbuss to his liking he care
fully wrapped himself aroimd it ac
cording to instructions. He then
spread himself and his armament out
on the floor in the prescribed man
ner and started his campaign of de
struction- After several somewhat
erratic shots he managed to score a
direct hit on the electric light which
is about 18 inches above the top of
the target.
So much for his accuracy, but it
can readily be seen why the wise
hunter dresses like a deer in deer
season.
FROSH TO PLAY EUGENE HI
TWO GAMES WITH CHEMAWA
AS PRELIMINARIES
Thirteen Men Picked for Team But
Best Five are Inelligible;
Practice is Kept Up
The freshman basketball team is re
ceiving final instructions from Coach
Eddie Durno, for its opening game with
the Eugene high school, which is to be
played at the Armory Monday night
at 7:30 as a preliminary to the var
sity game with Idaho. Two other
games are to be played next weok by
the yearlings, both with Chemawa
here, as preliminaries to the varsity
games with Washington on January 20
and 21.
The original squad of 35 men has
been cut to 13, iu order that a team
could be picked and trained together
for several days before the game.
The 13 men on the squad are Cran
dell, King, Bosterhouse, Brocker, Spear,
Murray, Schaeffer, Wright, Brown, Aim,
Minor, Poulson, and Haines. Of this
number Wright, Schaeffer, Spear,
Brown, Murray, and Brocker are ineli
gible, and have formed a team of their
own to practice against the eligible
men.
The reason for keeping these men on
the squad, was that some of them
are better basketball material than
the eligible men, and if they lost the
basketball practice during the fresh
man year, would not be of a great
deal of value as varsity material next
year, but with added experience ob
tained from this frosh practice will
be valuable as material for the varsity
next season.
This ineligible squad has its own
team and works out regularly against
the eligible men, and usually comes out
on the long end of the score, according
to the men who have been watching
the games.
Of the eligible men those that have
been working out moBt are Crandell
and King as forwards, Poulson at cen
ter, Haines and Minor at guard. Bos
terhouse, who entered school this term,
was all-star center last year and will
put in a strong bid for the team. Poul
son is also a new man this term, who
played on the Franklin high school
team last year. The team is small and
fast, but with a little practice should
develop into a smooth working combina
tion.
Crandell at one forward is a clever
floor man who handles the ball well,
j besides being a good shot. He made
; the all-star doughnut team.
King, the other forward, was placed
on the all-star team last year, but
failed to show up during the doughnut
! series- If he can be taught to shoot
i less and pass more he should become
a valuable addition to the team.
Bosterhouse was picked as all-state
I center last year, but did not enter
school till this term so has been seen in
action on the floor enough to show what
kind of a game he plays.
Tim, Minor and Haines all showed
up well during the doughnut series,
and should help to make a success of
the team.
The Eugene high school team with
which the frosh mix Monday, has seve
ral letter men back, and the contest
premises to T>e a close one. The team
is going through a last practice this
afternoon against the varsity men who
did not go on the 'Washington trip
and the team which will start the gam^
Monday will no doubt be pieked as the
rceult of this workout.
U. OF W. WINS 76 TO 15

IN ANNUAL SESSION
COAST DEBATE MEN
PICKED YESTERDAY
IN CLOSE TRYOUT
Robinson, Lamb, Patterson
and Bailey Make
Varsity Team
MARCH 3 CONTEST DATE
Bullivant Chosen Alternate;
Strong Opposition is
Looked For
At the men’s debate tryout held
yesterday, Claude Robinson, of Port
land; Charles Lamb, of Tillamook;
Paul Patterson, of Portland, and Ralph
Bailey of Salem were picked to repre
sent Oregon in the Pacific Coast tour
nament to be held March 3. Rupert
Bullivant, of Portland, was chosen as j
alternate. Others who tried out wero
Orvil Millard and Herbert Conklin.
Both Conklin and Millard showed up
well, according to Coach Clarenco P.
Thorpe, who said that the decisions
were very close- The tryouts were
held at 4:30 in the Commerce building.
Old Members Chosen
Robinson, Lamb, and Patterson, are
all old members of the debate team, and
participated in the state championship
debate against O. A- C. and Reed, held
last December, which was won by Ore
gon. Ralph Bailey, the new member,
is a freshman, majoring in law.
Speeches given for tryout were seven
minutes in length, with three minutes
for rebuttal, on the subject “Resolved,
that the federal government should
levie a tax on manufacturer’s sales.”
This question is the one decided upon
for the Pacific Coast meet.
Coach Thorpe expressed himself ns
very well pleased with the results of
the tryouts, and declared that the mem
bers of the debate squad were going
to put forth every effort to win the
coming meet. According to word re
ceived here, Washington is entering an
experienced team composed entirely of
last year’s debaters, while Stanford
is reported to have the best quartet of
speakers in its history.
Oregon Three Times Winner
"Oregon won this meet for three
years now,” said Coach Thorpe, "and
in spite of very strong opposition we
expect to win it again.”
The Oregon negative team will go to
Stanford, while the Washington nega
tive will debate here. The winning of
this debate will bring the Coast Cham
pionship title to Oregon, since the
state aChampionship was taken from
O. A. C. and Reed at the meet last
December.
PROSPECTIVE TEACHERS
REQUESTED TO ENROLL
j Demand for Jobs Will be Greater This
Year Than Ever Before Is Idea
of Professor C. A. Gregory
_
| All seniors and other students who
| want positions as teachers for the eom
! ing year should enroll at the appoint
ment bureau in the education building
at once. After the blanks have been
filed they are sent to instructors for
credentials which requires about two
weeks. Applications for teachers are
beginning to be received already and
students who enroll early will have
the advantage according to C. A. Greg
ory, professor of school administration.
More teachers are to be placed this year
than for four or five years and conse
quently the competition will be greater.
Those capable of teaching physical
training or athletics, either for boys or
for girls may add a possible $200 or
$300 to the year’s salary. Generally
speaking those who are teaching for
the first time should be capable of
handling subjects in more than one de
partment. For instance in a small
high school an instructor in history may
be required to take a elass in English.
Those wishing to teach for the re
mainder of the school year should leave
their names at the bureau also aB calls
are coming in every day for teachers
to begin work at last of this month,
when the second semester of high school
begins.
Last year all students enrolled with
the bureau were placed and a number
of other positions could have beer
filled.

Odors From Lab
By Use of Punk
“It is mi ill wind that blows no..
..good.”
Such is the declaration of the stu
dents in animal biology. The lab
on the second floor of Deady hall
has taken on a deadish atmosphere.
But the curiosity of the how and
why of sea life must be satisfied,
and to attain the satisfaction the
curious must pry into the “inards”
of the specimen.
Time does its work and after seve
ral days the task becomes orious.
So pupils of an inventive turn of
mind have begun taking incense to
class. The sticks are placed near
the remains and lighted. Essence of
Egypt arises driving away the ob
jectionable fumes and making the
work a pleasure.
EDITORS WATCH WIRELESS
EMERALD RADIO NEWS SERVICE
DISCUSSED IN CONFERENCE
Interchange With O. A. C. Will Begin
Next Week; Outfit Will Reach
San Diego and Montana
Plans for installing wireless news
services among the newspapers of the
state similar to the one which is being
installed for the Emerald were dis
cussed at tho meeting of the conference
yesterday morning. Tho Emerald ser
vice will bo tho first in the stato and
editors are watching its results and its
practicability. If the scheme proves
efficient in all probability a number of
the papers will install radio sets.
Tho discussion yesterday was load by
Frank Jenkins, editor of the Eugene
Register, who has made a considerable
study of the matter. Mr. Jenkins
pointed out the relative economy of tho
service as compared with the wire ser
vice. It is his plan to use tho radio
phone if possible, rather than tho wire
less telegraph.
It was the idea of the Emerald to
have the service in operation in time
for the inspection by the newspaper
men at the time of their visit. Due to
delay in arranging the quarters and in
setting up the instruments this has been
impossible. The aerial has been set up
and the transmitting and receiving set
will be installed the first of next week.
The radio club of the University,
composed of professional operators, will
have charge of sonding and receiving
the news. The messages will be pre
pared by the Emerald representative
of tho Pacific Intercollegiate Press
association.
Nows from O. A. C. will begin to
come in the first of the week, and con
neetion will bo established between
Oregon and nearly every college on the
Pacific coast where they have a wire
less set. The operators say that they
will be able to send messages ns far
sonth ns San Diego, and north to Mon
tana and Washington.
NEW BUILDING PROGRESSES
W. K- Newell, superintendent of
properties of the University, has just
returned from a few days’ visit in
Portland where he went to inspect thf
new University medical school build
ing which is under construction. Mr
Newell reports that the work is goirij!
on nicely and that the building will be
completed in time for the opening of
j school next fall.
ADVERTISING DRAWS
MOST ATTENTION IN
FIRST DAY OF MEET

. ....

Twice Weekly Publication
Urged by St. Claire,
of Gresham
The subject of advertising and the
solution of its various problems drew
tho greatest amount of attention in
tbo first day of tho Fourth Annual
Newspaper conference yesterday. More
than 70 newspapermen of the state
were present nt the meetings, which
started yesterday morning at 10 o ’clock
and continued through tho banquet
last night.
Tho greater portion of tho day was
spent in tho discussion of foreign and
local advertising. Tho place of the
advertising agency and its relation to
tho newspapor was brought out by
several of the speakers.
Committees were appointed following
the opening of ttie mooting by Presi
dent Robert W. Sawyer, of tho Bend
Bulletin- Tho nominations committoo,
which will report tomorrow, is com
posed of Hal K TIoss, of the Oregon
City Enterprise, George P. Cheney, of
tho Enterprise Record-Chioftain, and
A. E. Voorhies, of the Grants Pass
Courier. On tho resolutions committee
E. B. Aldrich of tho East Oregonian,
George Putnam of the Salem Capital
Journal, and B. W. Bates of the Rose
burg News-Review were named. Dean
Eric W. Allen will again act as chair
man of the program committee- He
will name those who will work with
him.
Hale Tans on Daw
The talk of Doan 'William G. Hale
of the law school of the University on
libel law and Its relation to the press
attracted a great deal of attention.
Goorge Putnam, of the Salem Capital
Journal, adressed this meeting on the
news print situation, saying that the
Oregon Publishers Syndicate had been
able to effect a saving of from one to
throo cents per pound on news paper
bought through the combine. Because
of the exhorhitant prices charged by
local paper mills, the Syndicnto has
been forced to buy foreign stock. This
pnper has proved satisfactory in every
way, as well as being more reasonable
in price than the domestic product.
Tho practicability and expense of in
j stalling wireless outfits for news ser
vice was discussed by Frnnk Jenkins,
| of the Morning Register. Outfits, for
I sending and receiving, ean bo installed
for less than $400, said Mr. Jenkins,
while receiving sets cost less than
$50. Considerable interest was aroused
over the practicability of radio service,
and it is probable that this subject will
come up for discussion later.

About the year of one B. 0. was held

Time is due the praise), and now the
gentle jamboree is not a form of low
brow spree.
| Instead, it is a nice affair with all

for the girls and trim their shirts with
precious pearls. In fact, I’m sure
you’ll all agree its just as nice as nice
i can be.
ThuB is defined the proper noun, it’s
i much too proper, so “Thumbs down!”
! Less formal use is much preferred by
writers of the common herd. The jour

stage what’s called a “bust.” They
meet tonight in Hayward hall, the good,

will roll the festive bones, the good will
