NEXT YEAR’S PROSPECTS ! BRIGHT FOR BASKETBALL Season Closes with Varsity at Conference Bottom; Hunk Latham Absent STRONG COMPETITION FOR NEXT SQUAD EXPECTED Only Two Lettermen Out for 1922 Team; Remainder Green Material Although the Oregon basketball quintet finished at the bottom of both conferences and won but two confer ence games during the entire season, prospects for next year look bright. “Hunk” Latham, all-northwest center, in his first vear on the vnrsitv will be back in a suit fighting for tho tip off. flunk marie the Hawaii trip last year anrl was un able to play. Hal Chapman, who nlso made the Hawaii trip and who has all the earmarks of being as groat a player as his broth er, the famous Nish Chapman, will be hack in the game. Only two men are lost from this year’s squad, both of them three year letter men, Marc Latham Coach Bohler though this year’s letter men will have a hard time making the five with Latham {ind Chapman in competition and with some clever players coming up from the freshmen in Spear, Alin, King, Crandall and Poulson. After the conclusion of the dough nut season, Coach Bohler faced the necessity of building a team from green material around a nucleus of two letter men, Boiler and Latham. During the Christmas vacation the squad went on a barnstorming trip which was strictly for experience and little attempt was made to win games. On the tour the varsity lost to the Columbia club of Astoria, to the Mc Minnville American Legion team, won two from the Chomawa Indians, and defeated tho North Pacific Dental college. After the season opened, the Lemon Yellow experienced a series of defeats which started in Portland shortly af ter the opening of the winter term when the Multnomah athletes took tho varsity down the lino 40-33. Then came ID defeats at, home and abroad before the varsity found the win col umn. Then tho Lemon Yellow suc ceeded in nnnoxing a two-game sories from the Nevada Hagcbrushers on tho local floor, and followed it up with two victories over Willamette. Tho season closed in Balein with the vnrsity dropping two to the Wilamotte Bear cats which gave them last place in tho Northwest Conference us well as the Pacific Coast. Throughout the season Oregon showed a marked weakness in shooting fouls, and the varsity tossers were able to convert but HI points out of a total of 3(13 attempts. This inability to make free throws count for points was undoubtedly 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 elose scores. The varsity tossers secured 175 field goals during the conference Neason. SPORT FIELD (Continued from page one) this afternoon. Despite the lack of courts, this sport has proved more popular than usual this term, accord ing to Miss Waterman, who has been coaching this sport. One of the fea turea of Field Day was the class matches, both singles and doubles, which were won by the juniors. This is the first year that interclass doubles have been played. Pool Often Used “The increase in interest shown in, swimming this year has been greater than in any other sport,” said Miss Winslow, swimming coach. “This is due to our wonderful new pool and convenient dressing rooms and show ers.” Doughnut swimming was at tempted on the campus for the first time and proved to be a success. Six houses were entered with 44 girls tak ing part. Kappa Alpha Theta cap tured the championship in this sport. Class swimming and the Cummings cup were won by the sophomores. The i meet with O. A. C. in the new men’s ! lank at Corvallis, April 29, resulted in Ian overwhelming victory for Oregon. The final score was 48 to 20. Basketball occupied the greater part of the fall term. In the doughnut series in which 11 houses entered! I teams, Hendricks hall again won first j place and took the Laraway cup from Gamma Phi Beta. The class series was marked by the fact that the seniors proved their ability along athletic lines and won the Hayward cup. The varsity squad was chosen from the class teams and defeated the O. A. C. team here on March 4 by a score of 25 to 19. Juniors Win Meet The indoor track meet which was held in connection with the annual gymnastic demonstration on March 17, jwas won by the juniors. Volley ball, archery and canoeing were features of j the ninth annual Field Day which was 'conducted by the association May 27. This was the first time that the girls have played volley ball and the first series was won by the juniors. The archery meet was won by the fresh men and the sophomores added an other victory to their list when they won the canoe races. One of the last duties of the presi j dent of the association was to present! the trophies and some 70 letters to I those who had been fortunate enough to play on winning teams at the close of Field Day. Thursday the present | officers turned their work over to the newly elected force. TWO WRITE ON GEOLOGY Dr. W. D. Smith and Hubert Schenck Have Articles in Journal Two Oregon men, Dr. Warren D. Smith, head of the geology depart ment. of the University, now on a leave of absence in the Philippine Islands, and Hubert Schenck, who is doing post-graduate work on the campus, have articles on geology in a number of the Philippine Journal of Scionce recently received by the librarian. The article by Smith deals with tho geo logic, roconnaisanco of the Pidatan oil field of Cotabato province, Mindanao. Schenck, who spent ono year in the Islands in tho employ of the Philippine Bureau of Science, has an illustrated article describing the drainage control by jointing in the Angat district of the Bulcan province. Both of these stories aro in Vol 20, No. 1, of the Philippine Journal of Science, which can be found in section 7 of the library reading room. ENGAGEMENT IS ANNOUNCED Announcement of the engagement of Rhetta Templeton and Mac McLean, both of Eugene, was made Friday night at the dinner hour at the Zeta Rho Epsilon and Sigma Nu houses. Miss Templeton* a graduate of the University last year, is the daughter of Rev. and Mrs. J. C. Templeton. Mc Lean, a junior in the University and a member of Sigma Nu fraternity, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. George N. McLean. MISS BURNETT ON VACATION Miss Etta Burnett, secretary at the j school of education, is on a leave ofj absence for several months. At pres ent she is in Portland but will spend the majority of the time at Belknap Springs. Mrs. Lola E. Adams, secre tary to L. II. Johnson, is taking her place for the remainder of this month. STIFF COMPETITION ON Fewer Games Won than Lost; Rooks Take Four; Play . Is Inconsistent The freshman baseball team this year, though it seemed as good as the average team that wears the Univer sity frosh colors, ran into stiffer com petition than usual and came out with less victories than defeats. The team played in streaks, and sometimes put up a good brand of ball, while on other occasions they sluffed badly and made more errors than hits. Four games were played with Colum bia university of Portland early in the season, the result being two wins for each team, for they split even in both places as Columbia captured the first here and dropped the second, while the frosh lost the first in Portland and took the second. These four games were close throughout and were never de cided till the final man was out. Hicks, the Columbia pitcher, seemed untiring as he pitched both games here and parts of both of those in Portland. The four contests with the rooks turned out a clean sweep for them. The first one was the closest of the four, and they succeeded in grabbing it off by a three-run lead. Newbill, the rook twirler, who made possible the winning of two of the gmaes, was in college here at the first of the year, but after a term’s work dropped out and went to the Aggie school where he proved to be one of their best pitchers. Cook was the man who played the most consistent ball throughout the season and will make a good bid for the varsity next year. He is a good catcher, and in the last games was shifted to third where he showed uj well. He has a strong arm and pegs across the diamond with accuracy anc ease. King, Burton, and Orr are others who will put up a hard fighl for varsity positions next year. Kinj is a fielder of remarkable ability whei it comes to running half way across the field and spearing a wide one. He is also a good hard hitter for a little man. Chappy filled in another place in the last rook game as in that con test he caught, and was quite a sue cess, according to Coach “Shy” Hunt ington. The other men on the team were Sullivan at second, Branaman anc Brooks, pitchers, Haynes and Harding fielders, and Troutman at third. A1 these men are good ball players anc will make some of the varsity mei work for their places next year. NEW SYSTEM TO MAKE TEACHERS MORE EFFICIENT “The aim of the school of educatioi is to train the educational leaders oj the state,” said Dean Sheldon, heac of the school, in an interview yester day anent the activities of that de partment of the University. “And tha this aim has been accomplished ii proved by the fact that more than hal: of the leading superintendents of th< state have received their train inj here.” There are about 350 graduates of th< University now serving as high schoo teachers in Oregon, according to Deal Sheldon, and about 60 more in Idalu and Washington. “The aim of the school of educa tion is accomplished through advancec courses of school administration anc psychology, and especially through tin summer school sessions,” said Dear Sheldon. “The fundamental thing ii preparing for teaching in any field however, is to thoroughly know thf subject matter, and to have an en thusiasm for it. This new plan oi norms, which the faculty adopted a! its last meeting, will insure, after 1924 that everyone going from the Univer sity to teach will be absolutely compe tent from the scholarship side.” The norms plan is a great improve TWO FEET OF COMFORT WITH EVERY STEP irnmi There are many so-called arch-supporting shoes but only one ARCH-O-PEDIC—the shoe with i the ribbed shank of hardened steel. The sole I of the ARCH-O-PEDIC shoe always looks like | the illustration. This is your guarantee. ARCH-O-PEDIC boots and Oxfords are made only in Cincinnati by the Krippendorf-Dittman Company, and sold in this locality at this store. AT HOME ON THE AVENUE ment over the present plan, according to the Dean. The present plan re quires of the prospective teacher only .22 hours of strictly educational studies, and not infrequently allows the teach ing of a study by one who has had no instruction in that study. The norms plan requires that in order to teach a certain study, the prospective teacher must have received instruction in that and certain other studies, which will make him eminently capable of teach ing the study. In order that the adoption of the new plan may cause no confusion, it will not apply to the present juniors and seniors who have planned their courses to fit the old plan, but only to the freshmen and sophomores. “The University of Oregon gives an opportunity, through the University high school, to see some of the very best work in the state,” continued the Dean. “Oregon is the only state on the coast which has this advantage, although it is found in a number of eastern universities like Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri and Chicago.” WORK IN NORMAL ARTS WINS VISITOR’S PRAISE Miss Esther Wuest Emphasizes Variety of Training and Strength in Fundamentals \\ hile abroad recently, a survey of the difference in the art of Europe and this country, as to subject matter and educational training, was made by Miss Esther M. Wuest, supervisor of the public schools of Portland, who acted on the jury which judged the normal arts section of the exhibit Mon day. The art of Germany, Italy and France was especially included in the consideration of the subject. In commenting on the work here, Miss Wuest stated that she was im pressed by the variety of the work in the normal arts department, and the fact that fundamental principles are being established. Since the emphasis and application of beauty in every day life make for a greater and broader appreciation of art, Miss Wuest considers the work in crafts an especially excellent line. In her work in Portland Miss Wuest comes in ^contact with thousands of children as her supervision includes : both the elementary grades and high schools. MORE ENTER FOR HIKING Hendricks Hall.
