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

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

Her husband admitted quite honestly
that London papers have a tendency
to play the sensational in American
news. He asserted too that the com

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.
Below is a list of the Oregon players
who participated in conferenct games
