GEORGE NEALE HIGHEST IN SALESMANSHIP TALKS Mrs. Y. R. McDougle and Dix Holaday Second George Neale stood highest in the oral problem of the insurance sales manship contest with an average of 84 per cent. The sales talks were given Thursday night in the Eugene Chamber of Commerce building. The grades made by the other contestants were as follows: Mrs. V. R. McDouuglc and Dix Holaday, 81 per cent; Newton Harrell, 80; Helen Nelson, 79; Harold Brown, 76; I. W. Lewis, 70; James Whitaker, 65; Floyd Bowles, 64; Ralf Couch, 63; Wilson Gailey, 62; Cecil Bell, 47; and Frances Beller, 46. The oral part of the contest will count for 50 per cent, and a paper on life insur anee, already written and submitted to the judges, will count for the other 50. The Oregon Life Insurance company is offering a silver cup upon which the winner’s name will be engraved, and also a small permanent trophy. The Mutual Life Insurance of New York is also giving a $25 prize, open only to students, based 50 per cent on the oral sales talk and 50 per cent on class scholarship. There are 10 con testants in the Mutual Life contest, and 13 in the Oregon Life. In commenting on the contest E. N. Strong, assistant general manager of the Oregon Life Insurance company said, "Only one out of the 13 contest ants brought about a perfect close and got the signature of his prospect on the application blank. That is very im portant thing to all agents, as they know there is ‘many a slip twixt the cup and lip,’ and that a promise is easily broken.” Final results of the contest will be announced next term after the class standings have been determined and the themes handed in by the candi dates have been corrected. The judges for the oral contest were E. N. Strong, of the Oregon Life compnny, Charles A. Hood, of Portland, special representative of Mutual Life company, and Claire A. Lee of the Prov ident Life and Trust Insurance com pany. AMERICAN FAILURE (Continued from page ene) Spain and Belgium sitting In as spec tators. The press Is In real danger of dis torting our perspective. Russia wants to come back and we are not so sure we want her. She needs foreign capital to get her life started. And so this Rriton, former member of the famous office at “number 10 Downing street and professor of poli tics in the University of Wales, skip ped about from point to point, making known to questioners his opinions of people, facts and theories. At times he seemed to think it strange that his personal opinions should be so insist ently demanded. Madame Zimmern re sented somewhat any close questioning of her husband, questioning seemingly prompted by n wish on the part of hearers to get deeper into things than the speaker sometimes evinced a desire to do. Newspapers Tend Toward Gossip "I am not at all sure that the mater l ial published in 1919 during the Paris conference and this year in Washington have not done more hnrm than good,” j he declared in his discussion of the press which he believes is in danger of distorting its readers’ viewpoint by a tendency to deal with what he termed “gossip” instead of with real issues. “Vor an ordinary person who knows nothing about foreign countries to be set before a newspaper with columns of gossip does more harm than good.” A critical attitude in the reading of newspapers similar to that employed in the reading of authoritative books is urged by Ur. Zimmern who sees in much of newspaper material a virtual nar cotie. American Magazine Accepted The American magazine he believes quite acceptable. He discussed to some extent Parisian newspapers but gave no account of forces behind certain organs there. Madame Zimmern de cried the position and importance given to certain Preach correspondents at whose position and worth she scoffed CLASSIFIED ADS Minimum chars*, t time. ?t>c ; 2 times. 46e ; s time*. $1.

Her husband admitted quite honestly that London papers have a tendency to play the sensational in American news. He asserted too that the com bination of “American snobbishness and British aristocracy” and “British snobbishness and American money is a dsturbng element in the relations be tween the two countries. CONDON CLUB PUBLISHES SECOND NEWS BULLETIN Names and Activities of Graduates Given In Report; Visitors Receive Mention The Condon Club of the University ! of Oregon has just issued its second general news bulletin.

Next t« Or*(r*aa HOCKHEY HIGH-POINT MAN FOR BASKETBALL SEASON Forward in Lead With 88; Zimmerman Has 78 According to figures compiled re cently by Coach George Bohler, honors for basketball high point man for the ; past conference season, go to Hadden Rockhey, forward, with 88 points to his credit. The diminutive forward se cured 25 field goals and converted 38 out of 99 free throws in 21 games in which he played a total of 23 halves. Zimmerman was runnerup with 39 bas kets for a total of 78 points secured in 32 1-2 halves in 22 games. Rol Andre secured a total of 76 points in 17 1-2 halves played in 18 contests. Andre nicked the conference teams for 21 baskets and converted 34 out of 72 free throws. Throughout the season Oregon showed a marked weakness in shooting fouls, and the varsity tossers were able to convert but 81 points out of a total of 202 attempts. This inability to make free throws count for points was un doubtedly one of the great factors in the long string of severe defeats as in many of these contests a high per centage of converted fouls would have resulted in victories or close scores. The varsity tossers secured 175 field goals during the conference season. •These figures apply only to games in the two conferences and do not include the series with Nevada, the game with the soldiers at Camp Lewis, or the Multnomah contest.
