FROSH TO MEET ROOKS
IN MEN'S GYM TODAY
First of Four Game Series
Scheduled for 4 O’clock
AGGIE YEARLINGS STRONG
Oregon Faces Crucial Test, As
Rivals are Experienced
The first of the four annual games
between the Kooks and the Frosh is to
come off this afternoon at 4 o’clock in
the Men’s Gymnasium. This was neces
sary on account of the Varsity Wrestling
matches being scheduled as the prelim
inary to the Varsity Basketball game in
the evening. The second game is to be
played as a preliminary to the Varsity
game Saturday evening and will start
at 0:45 sharp, as the basketball games
have to be over by 9 o’clock in time for
‘ ‘ the city formal. ’ ’
According to all reports the Rooks
are at the top of their season’s form
and are planning to take the games this
year. They have won the basketball ser
ies for the last two years, and have a
very good chance to repeat this year.
The dope is about even as far as it
goes, but the Frosh have had very few
outside games as yet, while the Rooks
have hail a great many. They will have
the advantage of having played to
gether against outside teams, while most
of the practice of the Frosh team has
been against the same teams.
The Rooks have a greater number of
men with reputations on their squad this
year than the Frosh have. King, and All
State man last year, is practically the
only man with more than the avorago
record behind him, while tho Rooks have
Ridings, Binkley, and Johnston, all of
whom have made very good records.
The Frosh who will start the game
are King and (Jrandell at forward,
Poulson at center, and Haines and Aim
ns guards. This combination worked
well against Chemawa, but since that
time has seemingly lost a lot of its pep
and ability, for tho men in tho last few
practices have not played up to form.
Brosterliouse, All-State center last year,
haB been unable to play sinco his entry
this term on account of sore foet, but
with a little practice should bo able to
get into the gamo again, and will no
doubt add to the strength of the team.
The Frosh have a good record behind
them so far, huviug won two games from
Chemawa, and one from Eugene High
School, but they will bo up against stif
fer competition in tho games with the
Rooks than they have soon so far, and
it will bo the hardest tost that they
will lmvo as there will not bo a
Portland trip for the team this year.
As tho Men's Gym accomodates only a
very small crowd, those wishing to see
the game should be there early. The
game starts at 4 o’clock sharp.

Madden is located in the city and is eon j
ported with Alexander and Baldwin,' ex
porters and importers.
Madden is consistent in his praise of
the school of commerce and the training
he received from the courses of the de
partment. ‘ “Accounting,’ ‘trade routes,’
‘practical exporting’ and ‘foreign ex
change’ ’’ he says “have been invalu
able to me. ’ ’

of the largest sugar producing firms in
the world. It has its main offices in !
Honolulu but has branches in New York,
San Francisco, Seattle, Kobe, and Yo- ,
kohama. It was engaged only in the :
sugar business until last year when it
decided to go into the general exporting
and importing game also. The chief
I lines we handle are chemicals, fertilizer,
produce, groceries, silk, and lumber.
I believe I am learning things fast and
will say that more than once I have
been thankful for the things that I
learned while under the tutilage of A1
Lomax, yourself and the others who
had me in their classes at the school of
commerce. Courses such as trade routes,
practical exporting, and foreign excliange
are a marvelous aid. It was quite easy
to step in and handle the details of a
big shipment with a little study because
of the knowledge gained in such courses
of the various papers and the various
details.
Perhaps you will be interested in
knowing the general conditions here.
There has been a good bit of business
in the laHt part of the year, but the
nation as a whole has not yet gotten
over the effects of the unprecedented
profitable period during the war and
directly after the war. There are still
a good many failures, and there is still
a good bit of ever-buying, overstocking .
and inflation. Labor here, as in the
states, has been unwilling to drop down
to the lower wage scale.
Capital has been unwilling to take i
smaller profits, in fact a good many
companies have cut quite deeply into 1
reserve funds in order to pay the same :
huge dividends they paid during the war
period.
OIL IS IN ABUNDANCE IN
COLOMBIA, SAYS WALKLEY
Drilling Favorable, but Transportation
and Marketing Poor; Industry Only
Twelve Years Old
Oil is available in great quantities in
Colombia, South America, according to
information presented by Glenn Walk
ley to the Condon club in Johnson hall
Wednesday night, although facilities for
marketing and transporting it are vory
poor.
Geological conditions favor successful
drilling for oil. Sandstone and lime
stone beds overlaid with shale cover
almost the entire country, and domes
and anticlines have been discovered in
many places. A competent geologist
would no doubt have comparatively lit
tle trouble in locating spots where oil
could be found in paying quantities;
however, wells have heretofore been
drilled for the most part in an almost
haphazard manner, no attention being
paid to whether the structure was geo
logically favorable to the striking of
oil. Oil seeps and mud volcanoes are
numerous, and wells have hoen drilled
near those seeps without taking into
nocount the fact that the oil accumu
lates in the apex of the dome forma
tions. Tt, is a peculiar fact in the to
pography of Colombia that all faults,
folds, and rivers have a strike towards
the northwest; and this, of course,
grentlv lessens the difficulty of de
termining favorable rock formations.
Prior to 1907 no wells were sunk due
to objections of the Colombian govern
ment, but since then drilling has pro
gressed rnpidlv, several big producers
being uncovered. All the oil in this
territory is vorv old, occurs near the
surface, and makes good fuel oil. TTow
ever, ns there is no immediate market
and pipe lines are very expensive, there
is little opportunity of disposing of it
without a large capital outlav.
Tan Campbell explained the various
hypotheses of the origin of the solar
svstem, illustrating his lecture by
means of stereoptican slides.
BOYS VISIT U. W. CAMPUS
Washington Entertains 200 High School
Students of Seattle
University of Washington, Fob. 2.—
(U. 1. N. S.)—Two hundred senior
boys from the local high schools were
entertained on the campus Saturday
with a trip to the points of interest,
a lunch at the Commons at noon and a
program in Meanv hall in the after
noon. The big “W” club and the j
Knights of the Hook acted as guides.
President Surzallo explained the ad
vantages of a college education, the
possibility of working one’s way
through school and the value of activi
ties. Coach llagshaw told of the pos
sibilities of studying and turning out
for athletics at the same time.

TWENTY-FIVE MEN LEARN
SWIMMING IN FALL TEAM
School of Physical Education
Aids Many in Acquatics
The school of physical education suc
ceeded in teaching about 25 students to
swim last terra, according to Professor
Barnes, the swimming instructor. These
men he stated could not swim at all
at the beginning of last term, but with
the instruction given during class hours
soon picked up the art, and were able
to pass the test by examination time.
There are still between 135 and 150
students who are unable to navigate
*he necessary distance to pass the tests
however, and these are the ones who
are getting the most attention from
the instructors. According to Mr.
Barnes, these students put in about
three hours a week in the pool, and he
expects most of them to be able to
pass the tests by the end of the term.
The department is going to be as
lenient as possible with the men that
i an’t swim, says Barnes, and will give
Uiem individual instruction during class
hours, but if the men refuse to turn
out for class they will be given no con
sideration.
Many of the men who passed the
tests at the first of the year have been
practicing since then and have become
adept at paddling around the pool. In
structor “Hap” Hazard succeeded in
teaching a number of them the crawl
stroke, which is acknowledged the
best swimming stroke.
330 BEAUTIFUL VOLUMES
(Continued from page one)
No effort is made to keep students
from handling the books. The purpose
of the collection is to form a place in
which book-lovers may “brouse around”
among really good volumes. Tt is the
idea to display examples of books which
have something distinctive to commend
them.
For the most part they are classics.
There is a set of Browning’s works,
and one of Stevenson’s. Much of the
collection is poetry. “We have not
tried to add art books to this collec
tion because that would conflict with
our art library/' said Mr. Douglass.
The books which have recently been
added to the collection are: Aucassin
& Nicolette, translated by Eugene Ma
son, illustrated by Maxwell Armfield.
Saint Pierre, Paul et Virginie; George
Sand, Novels, six volumes; Longfellow,
Hiawatha, illustrated by Frederick
Ttemington, Maxfield Parrish and N. C.

umes; Mrs. Eddy, Works, six volumes,
