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

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.

Sophomores to Winter Sport;
Campus Invited
Be on hand back of the Bachelordon
house next Saturday at 1:30, if you
are interested in Mill Race swimming
as a winter sport. This is the invita
tion that is out to the campus, for the
sturdy frosh of the Bachelordon house
have challenged their sophs to a pre
Christmas tug of war across the race
at that time.
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,

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.
