I VOLUME XXIV. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1922 NUMBER 56 COAST SCHEDULE ARRANGED AFTER . STORMY SESSION Bickerings Cause California to Threaten to Arrange Games Out of Conference VIRGINIA MATCH DISCUSSED Professor Howe Believes Tilt With Mountaineers Could Have Been Forced OREGON’S 1923 SCHEDULE September 27, Willamette at Salem. Oetober 13, Pacific University at Eugene. October 19, Whitman at Pendle ton. Oetober 27, University of Idaho, site to be selected. November 3, Washington State College at Pullman. November 10, Stanford University at Portland. November 24, Oregon Aggies at Eugene. December 1, University of Wash ington at Seattle. By Bp Hoyt At its meeting in Seattle last Sat urday the Pacific Coast conference iron ed out many difficulties after being in an almost impossible deadlock at late as Friday at midnight. In the first place Stanford is back and in full good standing, although it looked for a time1 as though Stanford would be again the bone of dispute. For the delegates from Palo Alto came with ironclad in structions from their board of control to schedule but three conference games and those with two weeks intervening. This naturally enough threw all sched ule plans into the discard and until Stanford was shown the errors of her ways nothing eould be done. However, after all the northern schools and Sou thern California had found it impos sible to schedule games with the Palo Alto outfit unless they dropped a bit from their high horse, peace was re stored and Stanford took four confer ence games and even scheduled a game with Idaho the Saturday before the California game. Stanford picked Ida ho looking for easy meat but from the way Idaho traveled this year and the fact that Bob Fitzke, their star, will be with them next year, as well as numer ous candidates from their wonderful freshman team, Stanford is likely to be badly fooled in regard to Mathew’s V andals. Friday night the conference members as far as schedules were concerned were in an absolute deadlock. Dr. John Calk ins and Lute Nichols, the California delegates, were largely responsible ior the ehange of heart in that they stated that unless the conference saw fit to cease their bickerings the California delegation would pull out and endeavor to arrange their schedule on the side. So things got under way early the next morning and with Dr. Calkins at the helm the schedules rapidly filled in. California Is Praised Professor H. 0. Howe, Oregon’s del egate spoke very highly of California's disinterestedness in helping out in re gard to difficulties encountered in the conference meeting. California was absolutely willing to play any one any where in order to help out in arrang ing the schedules and even scheduled another game with Southern California at Los Angeles which all but knocked the Trojans from the Christmas tree. Several changes were made in regard to eligibility rules and several more were proposed. A ruling was suggested making all transfer athletes forever in eligible after leaving theix original in stituton. Largely through Professor Howe, this rule was changed so that now a man may transfer, but loses the year that he must wait from conference competition. Thus under the new con ference rule a man transferring, say to Oregon, would lose a year of his eligi bility by the transfer and if he had but one year of competition left he would be through with intercollegiate athle tics. The rule is not retroactive so will not effect the status of either Cogs Campbell, Moe Sax or George Bliss. Universities Want Games Oregon and Washington had quite a fight on their hands keeping their big game at the close of the season. Both the Oregon Aggies and Washington State college felt that their closing game of the season, and consequently the closing game of the season, should be played between the state universi ties and the agricultural colleges. Both sides in the controversy won their points for the Aggies and Oregon will mix at Eugene November 24, while the (Continued on peg# three.) [FIRE AFFECTS OREGON GRADS PRESS CONFERENCE PRESIDENT SUFFERS LOSS IN BLAZE Newspaper Plants Employing Former Students Destroyed; Regent’s Son Is Hit Three former students of the Univer sity school' of journalism affected by the Astoria fire are Dewitt Gilbert, ’19, and Merle Chessmah, ’99, staff members of the Evening Budget, and James B. Cellars, ’16, of the Morning Astorian. Lee Drake, president of the newspaper confereffce which meets at the Univer sity ifext March, was also a member of the Budget staff. Both plants were destroyed in the conflagration that swept the city. Gilbert is the son of Major W. S. Gil bert, regent of the University of Ore gon. He was graduated from the school of journalism in the class of 1919, and at the time of the fire was telegraph editor of the Evening Budget. Merle Chessman is editor of the same daily. Cellars, editor of the Morning Astorian, is a graduate of the school of journal ism, class of 1916. Drake had been business manager of the Evening Budget for some time pre vious to the burning of the plant. DO-NUT CHIP CONTEST IS TONIGHT Kappa Sigma Will Play Fijis For Hoop Title Tonight at 7 o’clock in the men’s gym the interfraternity basketball championship of the University will be decided, with the champions of the two do-nnt leagues contesting for honors. Kappa Sigma, victors of League A and Phi Gamma Delta, leaders in League B, will play one game to decide the finals. The winner of the game will not on ly be intramural champion but will win possession for one year of the two tro phies which are offered for do-nut bas ketball. Should the Kappa Sigs win they will become permanent possessors of one of the trophies as they have al ready held it for two of the necessary three years. v A peculiar situation exists in that the two finalists this year are the same organizations which have competed in the finals for the past two years. Kappa Sigma has carried off the honors for both years. A prediction as to the probable win ner in tonight’s contest is impossible, the two teams being so evenly matched that the game will probably be won by very few points either way. Past games of this season indicate that both teams are strong and have perfected their play a great deal since the first of the year. The Kappa Sigs have lost but two games, both early season contests, and the Fijis have lost one, also an early season game. In most of their recent games both teams have won by fairly large scores, indicating that tonight’s struggle will be a battle royal. The whistle will blow at 7 sharp and the game will be over by 7:45. An ad mission charge of ten cents will be made by the Order of the O. NEW SYSTEM ALLOWS EARLY REGISTRATION Students May Register for Next Term Before Leaving University Christmas Vacation Plans have been made with the bus iness office and faculty making it pos sible for students to register for the winter term before leaving for the Christmas vacation. All ■entrance fees and laboratory dues are payable at the time of filing the cards. A new plan has been adopted for the next term. Fees of all kinds must be paid at the time of registration; from now on there will be no separate paying of laboratory fees; everything is paid at once. The wise student whose pocket-book is somewhat depleted at the end of the term may make out his registration card before going home and get all the instructors’ signatures and then be the first in line in January at the fee office. Pre-registration tor the winter term, with the consent of the advisers, may start immediately, according to a fac ulty bulletin just out. Owing to limit ed office facilities, there will be no pre-registration in the School of Jour nalism. mildrBd youel married Mildred Youel, formerly of the class of ’25, was married at her home in Sil verton, last Saturday, to H. M. Deal, of that place. The bride attended the Uni versity last year and is a member of Alpha Xi Delta sorority. Her husband is a business man of Silverton. SPEAKERS OF NOTE LISTED FOR NEXT TERM ISSEMBLIES Program Includes Men Well Received on Campus in Former Years GOOD MUSIC SCHEDULED Campus Orchestras and Glee Clubs Will Entertain at Thursday Meetings Assembly programs for next term in clude a list of speakers well known and well received by the students of fftrmer years and some musical treats that are annual features. The program, not yet complete, contains names familiar to the students, and the speakers chosen have been asked by the administration to reappear because of the success of their former visits. One of the best-known public speak ers in the country to speak before the student body next term is Frank Branch liiley who made Pacific North west scenery famous. Mr. Biley, who has spoken to civic organizations and clubs all through the East and Middle West, is said to have done more than any other one man toward the advertis ing of scenic attractions of the West. He has not visited the campus for sev eral years. Charles U. Clark to Appear Charles Upson Clark, well known Am erican scholar familiar with the Near East who was connected with the Amer ican academy at Borne for a time, will address the student body on February 8. Although Mr. Clark has never ad dressed the University of Oregon stu dent body as a whole, he spoke inform ally during a visit to this campus last year and will be remembered by many of the older students. Professor O. F. Stafford of the chem istry department, on the campus this year after four year’s leave of absence, will tell during one assembly period of the term, of wood distillation pro cesses. Another assembly attraction of ei ther the next term or the spring term is a talk to be giv£n by Edgar B. Piper, editor of the Oregonian. Mr. Piper’s talks have always been popular with the students. ' Musical Programs Scheduled The glee clubs, the orchestra and pos sibly Phi Mu Alpha, men’s honorary music fraternity, will each give a musi cal program at one of the Thursday morning periods. Much time and ef fort is put forth on these respective pro grams and they have always been of high quality. UNIVERSITY GIRLS HELP WOMAN AFTER HOLD-UP Grace Johnson and Margaret Sagaberd Find Mrs. W. M. Kirtley Bruised on Face; Thief Takes Purse Attracted by the cries of “Help! Po lice! ” two University women, Grace Johnson and Margaret Sagaberd rushed to the aid of Mrs. W. M. Kirtley, who was walking along - Eleventh avenue near Bartle court Saturday night. The woman had been knocked down by a blow on the face and her purse, con taining $25 and a gold lavaliere, snatch ed. Mrs. Kirtley lives at 735 East Four teenth street. She is the mother of Josephine and Edward Kirtley. The daughter is a junior in the University. The assailant had hidden behind a low hedge. Apparently he had permitted the two girls to pass and then robbed Mrs. Kirtley. The girls stated they were only about ten feet in front of Mrs. Kirtley, when she screamed. In the darkness they could not distinguish the purse-snatch er. The only description given was, that his face was muffled and that he wore khaki clothes. After helping Mrs. Kirtley to her feet and bandaging her bruised, face, the two took her to the police station. No member of the force was present at the time, 8 o 'clock. They then went to the nearby Y. M. C. A. Later the police returned and a second trip was made to the station, where Mrs. Kirt ley told her story. On reaching home Mrs. Kiftley col lapsed from the nervous shock.' When asked whether the adventure had frightened them the college women ad mitted that they did not sleep so well that night. “Why, just think, it might have been us," said one. “Huh,” replied the other, “I had on ly a dollar.” But she rubbed her cheek, grateful that there were no marring wounds imprinted on it. HOOPERS PREPARE FOR HOEIDAY TRIP Bohler Will Pick 12 or 15 Men to Take Barnstorming Jaunt When Exams End DIFFICULT SEASON AHEAD Other Conference Teams Have Strong Lineups and Coach Not Optimistic Basketball Coach Bohler has 25 men out for practice every night now and is working them hard with the end in view of picking the men for the Christ mas barnstorming trip as a result of this week’s work, as it will be impossi ble to hold regular practices during ex amination week. Coach Bohler has changed his policy of last year, of selecting the men for the squad, and this season intends to give everyone that wishes to come out a trial. If present plans for the barnstorming trip go through there will be 12 or, 15 men make it, starting about, December 27 and returning January 6. There were seven games on the original schedule, but on account of the Astoria fire one may have to be cancelled, thus leaving six, and attempts are being made to secure more. Seven Letter Men Out Oregon’s chances for a winning team seem to be good with seven letter men turning out regularly, but when it is taken into consideration that only two of these, Zimmerman and Latham, are good shots and that no five of them have worked together consistently, it appears as if they will have all they can do to win even part of their games, let alone put in any contentions for a championship. Coach Bohler has an especially hard looking season ahead of him, for the lack of good material here is not shar ed by other colleges, most of whom have practically the same squads as last sea son. The Oregon Aggies, Idaho, and Wash ington look especially good as they were the strongest on the Coast last year, and have practically the same lineups again. Aggies Lose Stinson The Aggies in particular look like champions as they will start the season with Captain Stinson being the only man lost, and several of the substitutes are quite capable of filling the vacant position. The games this season are to be played at the Armory the same as last year, as it will seat a great many more spectators, and is also a much better basketball court, but early season prac tices will be at the men’s gymnasium. Coach Bohler has two ideas in view at present, one is that if he can produce a team which is able to win a large share of its games he intends to play only five or six men, but if the team starts out by dropping most of the con tests, he will use eight or ten men in an attempt to develop a winning aggre gation for next year. TRAFFIC RULES ENFORCED City Issues New Parking Regulations; Severe Penalties Inflicted Students of the University should take heed of the strict traffic ordinanc es now being enforced by*the city of Eugene. In the last few weeks several ear owners have been arraigned in court for the violation of the parking rules. Most of the penalties inflicted were for parking more than twenty minutes and for parking too far from the curb. A foot is the limit allowed for parking out from the curb. In one case a car owner was alleged to have left his car 18 inches from the eurb. Whether any of the students have vi olated the ordinances or not it would be well for them to be careful in the future. ORGAN RECITAL IS TONIGHT Lucille Elrod Will Appear at Methodist Church; Aubrey Furry Assisting A varied program, made up of com positions of musicians of the modern, classical and romantic schools of music, will be given by Lucille Elrod this eve ning for her senior organ recital. The program is comprehensive, parts of it i being heavy, while others are of a light | and more delicate nature. Aubrey Furry, bass, a member of the men’s glee club will assist Miss Elrod, ! He is to sing “Elegie,” Massenet, and ; “Duna,” McGill. Miss Elrod’s pro ' gram has been previously given. The reciftl will be given in the Meth odist church at 8:15 o’clock.

The frosh, eleven strong, are desir ous, yea eager, to help their sophomore brothers enjoy a sport that is consider ed by many as peculiarly adapted to the needs of the freshman. While there are only six sophs to up hold the honor and dignity of their class, they are ready for the fray, and if they have their way it will be the frosh who receive physical and mental stimulation by a plnnge beneath the icy waters of the race. All spectators are promised a spectacle which will make them button their coats up tight under their chins while icy shivers race spasmodically down their spines, so be on hand, say the Bachelordons.

DEBATE TILT WON Gif AGGIE TEEM III GUILD HALL MELT Two Judges Vote for 0. A. C. Men; Industrial Disputes Adjudication Is Issue VICTORY IS NOT DECISIVE Oregon Negative at Corvallis Loses by Similar Score in Annual Bout Oregon Agricultural College, Corval lis, Dec. 11.—(Special to Emerald.)— The O. A. C. affirmative team, compos ed of the veterans John Gray and Paul Knoll, defeated the University of Ore gon team here this evening by the count of 2 to 1. The members of the University negative team were Boyd Iseminger and Balph Bailey. Oregon Agricultural College debat ing on the negative side of the question “Resolved, that a Federal court with the power to enforce its decisions qhould be established for the adjudi cation of industrial disputes,” won a two to one decision from the affirma tive team of the University of Oregon last night in Guild hall. The Oregon team was composed of Ted Bice and Charles Lamb. Paul Dickey and Ches ter Merkin made up the negative. Eaeh speaker had 20 minutes for his constructive argument and five minutes for rebuttal. The O. A. C. men based their main arguments on the case of the state of Kansas which has adopted a court similar to that which they claim ed the affirmative advocated in their arguments. Facts were presented to the judges to prove that such courts are not effective. “Inability of courts to enforce decisions made” was given as the basic argument of the negative. Argument Is Outlined That such a court was necessary to prevent strikes, to establish justice, provide for law and order, and to de cide cases on their merit were some of the main issues presented by the affirm ative. It was denied that the court which they advanced was the same as described by the negative. At the close of the last rebuttal a tense stillness pervaded the room as Boland Miller of the University econ omies department called for the judges to cast their decisions. The crowd, which ljut partly filled Guild hall, wait ed in suspense as the envelopes were be ing opened. Th decision might well have gone either way as for superiority which either team seemed to impress those present. The first two votes were divided, one going to Oregon and the other to O. A. C. The thirty vote decided the contest in the Aggies’ favor. Judges Named The judges were Clement Akerman, Beed College; Charles Lenon, a Port land attorney; and President Biley of Linfield College of McMinnville. SOPHOMORE DANCE UNIQU& Black and White Decorative Effect Pleases Guests; Quartet Sings Gay with all the vivaciousnoss those frequenters of French cabarets and mu sic halls possess, with a Betting of soph istication which marks a revelous gath ering of French artists, was the Sophomore informal held Friday night in the Armory. A bl^ck and white motif carried out in the streamers from the ceiling to the sides of the room gave a nocturnal effect to the scene. Under this large canopy of black and white, giving a tent effect, the yama-yama-costumed or chestra (of Ted Osborn’s boys straight from Paris) blithely rendered banal jazz music for the merrymakers. Then the feature—a stage, a black curtain, huge French posters to give “the proper atmosphere,” a quartet of tuxedoed boulevardiers, entertained the light-hearted throng with songs. The creator of the idea for the dance was Edgar Bohlman, who directed the set ting of the affair. Patrons and patronesses included President and Mrs. P. L. Campbell, Dean and Mrs. John Straub, Dean and Mrs. Colin V. Dyment, Dean and Mrs. William G. Hale, Prof, and Mrs. E. E. DeCou, Pref. and Mrs. Alfred Schroff, Prof, and Mrs. Melvin T. Solve, Prof, and Mrs. Phil W. Janney Mr. and Mrs. i J. W. Benefiel and Mr. and Mrs. Lamar Tooze. i LEADER’S BOOK REDUCED Mr. McClain of the Co-op has sent ! word to the faculty bulletin stating Colonel Leader is willing to sell the ■ remaining copies of his book, “Oregon s Through Alien Eyes,” for 50 cents a - piece rather than take the books away r from Eugene. The price was formerly one dollar.
