However there is a limit to the usefulness of doughnut sports and that limit is closely concerned with the size and athletic potentiality of the living groups. With ten sports at present the basis of com petition for the plaque, those houses that are in the running for the plaque are forced to enter teams in ten sports, many of which overlap. Other sports are talked of as basis for doughnut competition—soccer, cross country and golf. Considerable just criticism has been directed at the present in tramural system in that it is hard for men’s houses, especially those of lesser numbers, to keep up the competition. In many of the houses the same group of men represent the house month in and month out no matter what the particular sport may be. That is a resultant of the competitive factor and works out in that fashion because it is considered something of a disgrace for a house not to enter the com petitive field. The importance of varsity athletics, that is, intercollegiate com petition, is generally understood, and the best sports for doughnut competition would seem to be those sports which are the most im portant intercollegiate sports. Of course football ,is impractical because of the size of the teams and because of the equipment nec essary, but there are left basktball, which always taks a term to run off in doughnut competition, baseball, track and tennis. It seems to the Emerald that doughnut competition might well be confined to these sports, while wrestling, boxing, swimming, the physical ability pebtathlon and other sports that are included in the present com petition, or are to be included, might well be handled through gym classes in the freshman and sophomore years. The almost frenzied addition of sport after sport to the doughnut program has in a way missed its mark, for there are several hundred young men who do not belong to houses who do not participate in doughnut sports. More emphasis might avcII bo given to inter-class sports thus giv ing men a chance who do not belong to living groups and who Avould like to participate in competitive games. Thus more men would be playing the game for the game’s sake and not for reasons controlled by custom and expediency.

"THE COWBOY LADY” AT REX Presenting a new angle of the eternal triangle, "The Cowboy and the Lady,”; a Paramount film is scoring heavily at the Rex theater. Mary Miles Minter and Tom Moore are the featured play-1 ers, and supporting them is a cast which gives complete satisfaction. There are many tense scenes and not a few thrills I while the ending is exciting enough to stir even the most blase picture goer.. The adaptatoin has closely follower! Clyde Fitch's play, and Charles Migne 1 has directed one of the best Western dramas shown here in many mouths. Get the Classified Ad habit.

RESEARCH BUDGET TO BE SUBMITTED SOON Requests of Faculty for Financial Aid Will Be Referred to Committee The annual financial budget for re search work is being formulated at pre sent by the research committee and is to be submitted for approval this month. Faculty members have been asked to make estimates of their re search needs for the next fiscal year and as a result a considerable number of requests for financial assistance have been made. These requests are being considered and analyzed by the com mittee. They will serve as a basis in making out the budget which is han dled on the same plan as the regular department budgets. Various faculty members are now working on research problems. “A number of interesting researches have been carried on throughout the year,” said Dr. E. L. Packard, chairman of the research committee. “A survey of the progress and results of the work will be made, a complete report being ready about the first of January.” Other members of the committee in clude Dr. H. B. Torrey, Dr. W. E. Milne, Professor E. H. McAlister, Dr. J. D. Barnett, and Dean H. D. Sheldon. Last year $5,000 was appropriated for re search work. Several pieces of research were carried on without financial aid. THESPIANS ARE ELECTED Underclass Organization Active In Stu dent Body Affairs At the meeting of the Thespians held in the club rooms of the Woman’s building last night, the following girls were received into the organization: Hulda Guild, Madeline Conner, Dorothy Abbott, Imogene Lewis, Margaret Mc Cabe, Dorothy Myers, Louise Inabinet, Morene Buchanan, Gladys Norene, Dor othy Dodge, June Dalton, Mildred Ni chols, Adrianne Hazard, Helen Smith, and Mary Brandt.

Mem | bers of the organization are pledged to fulfill two aims: To give active service to the work belonging to the A. S. U. O. office. One freshman girl is chosen! each year from each house on the cam-1 pus. JOHN BARRYMORE AT CASTLE The reputation of John Barrymore as an actor on the speaking stage has been confined mostly to New York City, as he has not acted “on the road” for four or five years—not at all since his big hit in “Redemption.” It has remained for the actor’s screen appearance to make him known personally to tens of thousands of persons in the countfy j who otherwise would have no know-! ledge of him aside from the fact that he is an actor of high standing. In no other picture that he has made does young Barrymore have the opportunity of impressing his personality upon the public that is given him in the Goldwyn picture, “Sherlock! Holmes,” adapted from William Gillette's play, based up on the stories by A. Conan Doyle, now playing at the Castle theater. The part is one that fits him perfectly and that he acts with consummate skill. TOM MIX AT HEILIG As usual Tom Mix won the staunch ; and unanimous approval of the audience ; that packed the Heilig theater last j night for the opening performance of: the robust star's latest William Fox: production, “Do and Dare.” The daring, dashing hero of west ern screen dramas seems to reach new heights with each production and in 'Do and Dare” an enraptured audience1 watched breathlessly the Fox light as he shone through an hour and a half j ef supremely entertaining action. M SIGS WINNERS IN SEMI-FINAL GAME Championship Contest Slated for Tuesday Night The Kappa Sigs last night won the' hampionship of their league in the in- i erfraternity conference and in so do- j ng won the right to compete in the inals of the other league and these wo teams will furnish the battle royal or the two trophies which are at stake. , The contest last night, which was ra ;her one-sided was the last of the semi inal games scheduled. The Sigma Nus, who furnished the opposition for the Kappa Sigs, were unable to do much igainst the close checking of the win lers, and although the Kappa Sigs :hemselves were closely checked they were able to find the basket for a total if 25 counts. The Sigma Nus scored out 8 points, being successful in only hree attempts at field goals. Several ■hanees to score from fouls were also passed up. Fraser, forward for the Kappa Sig rang was high point man, making 14 of his teams points. Bryant also caged iome difficult baskets. It has been definitely decided by Coach Bolder to have the finals a one game contest instead of three. This game will be played next Tuesday at 7 o’clock, and should be the fastest ex hibition of basketball seen this year. PACKARD WRITES ARTICLES Geological Bulletin of California Prints Treatise on Cretaceous Professor E. L. Packard of the geol ogy department of the University of Oregon, is the author of an article en titled “New Species from the Creta ceous of the Santa Ana Mountains of California,” whch was given the first fifty pages of the Bulletin of Geological Sciences, publshed by the University of California. “In this article,” said Mr. Packard, “the descriptions of some thirty-five new species of clams and snails which lived in what is known aB the creta ceous period, are given in full detail. “They are specimens,” continued Mr. Packard, “from the Santa Ana moun tains of southern California, but the same types of animals are found in the Blue mountains of eastern Oregon, and in Washington and British Columbia.” A general statement of the forms of life and living conditions, along with the technical description, is given with the name of each specie. Fifteen plates of the specimens, approximately life size, with geological explanations, are included in the. bulletin. . Mr. Packard has been working for peveral years on this problem of re search, which he accomplished in addi tion to his regular work at the Uni versity of Oregon.
