Better Sportsmanship Urged By Physical Education Department Miss Florence Ahlen, head of the physical education department for wo men, is having an athletic code copied and it will be posted in the entrance to the women’s gymnasium in an ef fort to stimulate good sportsmanship among the women in all their games and contests. “Most people have a rather abstract idea of good sports manship,” said Miss Alden, “and the ‘thou shalt not’s’ seem to make it moTio concrete.” The following code was written by Henry Van Dyke. The first ten rules apply to the athlete and the next four apply to everyone. 1. Thou shalt not quit. 2. Thou shalt not alibi. .1. Thou shalt not gloat over winning. 4. Thou shalt not be a rotten loser. 5. Thou shalt not take unfair advant age. 6. Thou shalt not ask odds thou are unwilling to give. 7. Thou shalt always bo ready to give thy opponent the shade. 8. Thou shalt not underestimate an opponent nor over estimate thy self. 9. Remember that the game is the thing, and that he who thinketh otherwise is a mucker and not a true sportsman. 10. Honor the game thou playest for he who playetli the game straight and hard wins, even when ho loses. The more general rules are: 1. When you play a game, always try, and wish to win, otherwise your opponents will have no fun; but never wish so much that you can not be happy without it. 2. Seek to win only by fair and law ful means, according to the rules of the game, and this will leave you without bitterness toward your opponent or shame before others. 3. Take pleasure in the game, even though you do not obtain the vic tory, for the purpose of the game is not merely to win but to find joy and strength in the victory. 4. If you obtain the victory you desire, think more of your good fortune than of your skill. This will make you grateful and ready to share with others the honor bestowed on you, and truly this is both reason able and profitable for it is but little that any of us would win in this world were our fortunes not better than our deserts.

WOMAN’S BUILDING IS POPULAR PLACE Students Use Rooms for Study and Meeting Places on Most Nights of the Week “I don’t see how they could use it much more,” said Mrs. .Elizabeth Wil son on being asked about the number of students who use the Woman’s building. “There’s hardly a night that there isn’t a meeting of some kind here, and sometimes all four rooms are full. Both boys and girls could use it more for study than they do, though around examination time lots of girls come here to study and they can study too, because it is so quiet.” There are five rooms in the east end, according to Mrs. Wilson, that are open to students. Downstairs are the men’s room and the women’s room. Either one may be used for meetings or study; on the second floor one may tuck himself away in any corner of the Alumni hall for several hours of study if he wishes, or part of the room may be used for meetings. On the third floor are the Woman’s league room and the committee room, which joins it. The committee room is al ways open and the Woman’s league room may be used except when Miss Kern’s art classes are in session. On the other side of the building on the third floor is a study room forj the girls. LDiS'^vrell equipped with tables and chairs and has a library for the physical education majors. “Though the building is always open to visitors, and there are many, it doesn’t interfere with the study be cause they never stay long and there aren’t many each day, though there are usually some. They come from all parts of the state and lots from the eastern part,” says Mrs. Wilson. “Dur ing the summer, I think there were people here from every state in the Union, and often if they had only a few minutes to stay in Eugene they came to the Woman’s building.” SECOND HOOP VICTORY ’ SCORED BY Tfll BELTS Delta Gammas Play Good Game But Can’t Score The Tri Delts won their second vic tory yesterday when they humbled the Delta Gammas by a score of 27 to 1.
