NUMBER 74
HOOP GAME WITH
HUSKIES TONIGHT
WILL TEST VARSITY
Crucial Battle of Season Is
Ahead of Leaders of
Percentage Column
U. OF W. PRIMED FOR FIGHT
Oregon Is- Strong in Race for
Conference Honors; Both
Teams Rate High
By Ed Fraser
The crucial game of the season for
the Varsity basket tossers comes this
evening against the University of
Washington Huskies, for these teams
lead the percentage column at present,
and the outcome of the fracas will show
to a great extent whether the Oregon
team is of championship caliber or not.
The Lemon-Yellow in every game
played so far has displayed such an
ability on the part of Latham, Zimmer
man, Gowans and Schafer to locate
long range baskets that the team work
or their opponents has gone for naught
before their wonderful accuracy. Many
critics argue that the team has merely
been lucky in the games so far, in re
gard to hooping the long ones, and that
they are due for a fall when they hit
Washington tonight.
Condition Will Test
The result of the game will no doubt
depend to a great extent on which team
is in the best condition for as far
as dope goes they are about equal in
scoring ability, with Washington slight
ly the favorite because of the foul
shooting ability of that slippery little
guard, Crawford,- who in the Idaho
game hooked 19 out of 21 attempts,
which incidentally won them the game
36 to 35.
The Huskies are coming down all
primed for the hardest game of their
trip, though, for they were greatly sur
prised at the decisive walfopii^r ^liat
Oregon handed the Vandals, as they
had it already doped out that the race
for conference honors would be between
Idaho, Washington, and O. A. C. this
season.
The scores of the games the Vandals
played on their trip would seem to give
Oregon the edge, but it was evident
that the Idaho men were off color the
night they appeared here and accord
ing to Coach Bohler Oregon was lucky
to win.
The stars of the Husky aggregation
are Captain Lewis at forward and
Crawford and Bryan as the guards, for
all three are two-letter men and the
guards especially can be counted on to
* show the best work that has appeared
here this year, for Crawford is a small,
tireless fellow who is a wicked shot,
and never tires, while Bryan is a big
red headed boy who seems able to stop
the offensive work of a team all by
himself.
Teams Have Point Getters
The teams are built something on
■ the same line, as four members of each
are point-getters, but the Oregon bunch
seems to have the edge at center, for
Hunk is without an equal on the coast

UNIIf[f)SITY SYMPHONY
TO PLAY FOB CHARITY
Concert Sunday at Methodist
Church for Elks’ Fund
The University Symphony orchestra
rehearsed last night in tlie Methodist
church on the large platform newly
Built there by University carpenters in
preparation for the concert to be given
there under the auspices of the Eugene
Elks next Sunday afternoon at 4 o ’
clock. The rehearsal was held in the
church that John Stark Evans, organist,
who will assist with the concert, might
practice with the orchestra the “Reve
Angelique,” by Rubenstein, and in or
der that the musicians might become
used to the change of auditorium.
The program to be played by the* or
chestra is, for the most part romanticj
with just a dash of the classic for var
iety’s sake. The opening number will
be “Orpheus Overture,” by Offenbach,
writer of many tuneful operas of a
lighter nature. “Orpheus” is full of
colorful melodies, which are well appor
tioned among the different choirs of
the orchestra to give a wealth of var
iety.
Circus Music Included
Perhaps the most interesting part of
the overture is the circus music with
which it ends. Everyone who has at
tended a circus will recognize that end
ing even though he has never heard
“Orpheus.” Of course, the rendition
by the orchestra is not exactly all that
it should be in the way of circus music.

All Four Classes To Frolic;
Costumes, No Dates In Order
_
Tomorrow night the University will
dance—not collectively, but in segre
gated groups. Each class has deemed
it advisable to have its own little shin
cracking set-to at this time and it looks
as it a big night is in store.
To begin with the seniors, that aus
tere body, prone to get away from the
undignified atmosphere of the under
class rabble, has hied itself down to
Dreamland, where an impromptu ankle
busting bee will be put on by those
present. It will be a catch-as-catch
can affair (no dates necessary). The
pre-requsites are two-bits, a mask and
a desire to dance. The sky is the limit
as far as costumes are concerned. Any
thing will be tolerated that dates 724
years after Adam to the present time.
The committee will bar earrings that
drag on the floorwax, and any other
paraphernalia that hampers the move
ments of the devotees of the goddess
Terpsichore.
The class of ’24 has it that the great
est event of the year will be pulled off
at the men’s gym. The annual Junior
Jazz Jinx is doped, by those in charge,
to be the biggest riot of the year. It
is to be like all other Jinx, only possess
ing more color and zip. There will be
dainty maids of the Victorian period;
saucy dancers from old Seville, Russian
dancing girls, and many other dancers
from other lands and walks of life.
Then there will be the terrible Turk,
the reckless cowboy of trackless plains,
murderous looking pirates who would
rather scuttle a ship than eat a square
meal, husky loggers and dapper dudes
from the hick town. They will all be
there and all will be in their element.
It is rumored that the citizens in the
vicinity of the gym will not be able to
sleep until long after the tumultuous
tripping tournament has ceased to be,
at midnight.
The sophomores are going to hold
forth ht Ye Campa Shoppe, and the
tavern by the wayside will be turned
into a haven for weary and hard press
ed members of ’25. It is a hardtime
affair, and delapidated apparel is the
uniform of the day. The entire build-:
ing will be thrown open to the second
year clan and from reliable information
it has been gleaned that a keen time
will be had by all concerned before
they trek homeward for a few minutes
of ear pounding.
Last in the list (where they belong)
is the freshman gang, which will so
journ in the Woman’s building for
three or four spasms of high brow jig
ging. The contest of the green outfit
is to be informal so it will have the
appearance of a regular ballroom rush.
Of course there will be features at
each of the maple-pounding get-togeth
ers. Any one who makes the rounds
of the various struggles can say that
he traveled from the sublime to the
ridiculous.
PRESIDENT TO GI
TIER OK EASTERN
GIFT CAMPAIGNS
Students to Hear Report of
Recent Visit to Fifteen
Leading Colleges
PICTURES WILL BE SHOWN
Oregon Campaign to Benefit
from Experiences of
Other Institutions
The story of his recent survey of a
number of the big colleges of the East
with relation to the Ten Million dollar
gift campaign now being carried on for
the University, will be the topic of
President Campbell’s address to the stu
dents this morning at Villard hall dur
ing the regular assembly hour.
The president has returned to the
campus with renewed enthusiasm for
the campaign since he saw the efforts
which are being successfully carried
on by some fifteen eastern colleges and I
he studied in detail their methods of
appealing for funds while visiting on
numerous campuses. Oregon may ben
efit from the experiences of other in
stitutions in this work and the mem
ber of the local committee in charge
of the campaign are anxious also that
the students of the University be kept
informed on the progress of the work.
Campaign Results Shown
Slides taken during the president’s
tour of the various colleges will be of
especial interest in showing what other
campaigns have achieved in the way
of buildings and campus improvement
and in giving students here an idea
of the appearance of college buildings
in the East.
President Campbell was traveling
in a familiar sphere when he visited
the eastern colleges for he is a graduate
of the Harvard law school and is well
known in the East since he has served
as vice-president and acting president
of the National Association of State
Universities and in that capacity took
a leading part in the organization of
what has become the National Council
of Education. During the summer of
1918 he was secretary and served as ex
ecutive officer of this council in Wash
ington, D. C., in cooperation with the
war department and helped actively in
the formation of the Student Army
Training Corps movement, which was
established in all of the colleges of the
country. President Campbell is still a
representative of the National Asso cia
tion of State Universities on the Na
tional Education Council and hence in
active touch with the presidents of all
the universities which are concerned
in this organization.
Trip Lasts Five Weeks
On this trip the president was ac
companied by Mr. Campbell Church of
Eugene. During their five weeks ab
sence they visited fifteen universities
and colleges including Yale, Harvard,
Columbia, Cornell, Pennsylvania, Mich
igan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and sever
al others.
It is with the purpose of keeping up
the interest of the student body as well
as that of the alumni in the gift cam
paign that the president will share some
of his experiences with the students
today. He feels that the students are
one of the biggest factors in the suc
cess of the campaign, according to a
statement made recently and they are
urged to attend the assembly today and
learn the latest developments of the
work.
CRAFTSMAN CLUB ELECTS
Robert Callahan Elected President to
Succeed John MacGregor
In an election held at a special meet
ing yesterday noon, Robert Callahan
succeeded John MacGregor as president
of the Craftsman club and Wesley Fra
ter was elected treasurer, which posi- j
tion was formerly occupied by Calla
han.
Activities more pressing forced Mac
Gregor to resign, after acting as the
head of the organization for over a year
and a half.
According to Ian Campbell and Mor
ris Eben, on the dance committee, the
annual Craftsman club dance will be
held in the Woman’s building March 2.
GAMMA PHI ALUMNI HEAD HERE
Mrs. Carl Handley Will, a visiting
delegate from Seattle is at the Gamma
Phi Beta house this week. Mrs. Will
who is president of the Gamma Phi
alumni of Seattle, is making a tour of
the western province.
Several social affairs have been plan
ned for Mrs. Will. A tea was held
yesterday afternoon and this evening
Mrs. Will will be a guest of honor at a
faculty dinner.
“SHY”AGREES TO
COACH ONE YEAR
Play By Fergus Reddie
Is Well Received; Cast
Lauded For Good Work
Rocking with mirtfi at the antics of
Addeliny, smiling at the rapt faces of
the children listening to ghost stories
about the fireplace, commenting softly
on the quaint costumes, and between
acts, eating the delicious candy offered
for sale by the Y. W. for the Astoria
relief, The Raggedy Man was produced
last night to a very responsive audience
in Guild Hall.
The first smiles, occasioned by the
sight of the store setting, widened as
the “oldtimers”- of Griggsby Station
sauntered in, and broke into laughter at
the first speech of the postmistress. The
costumes, which are of a period a gen
eration ago, caused great amusement
and interest, Katherine Pinneo and
Gwaldys Keeney contributing to the
merriment as very individual inhabi
tants of the small village in outlandish
attire. Elizabeth Robinson, however,
in the role of a society woman of the
period, resembled a fashion plate of
the time and interpreted her part well.
Claire Keeney, Yern Pudge, and Mor
ris Bocock were well received as old
men, Claire doing especally good work
throughout the entire play as Gran-ther
Squeers. Charlotte Banfield struck a
wistful note in the second act in a
piece of especially good acting with
Claire Keeney.
Wade Kerr as The Raggedy Man was
a very likable person and portrayed
adequately the somewhat timid admirer
of ’Lizabeth Ann. Lorna Coolidge did
admirable work in her role, making all
Riley lovers a little more fond of the
’Lizabeth Ann of the poems.
The children who took part, Robert
Allen, Janet Thaeher, Rosalind Gray,
and Robert Seay, did very commend
able work and completely captivated
the hearts, of the audience.
Star Norton played with great skill
two parts, dropping from one character
into the other with all the ease and
thoroughness she has shown in Guild
Hall work, and was so completely
changed that she was hardly recogniz
ed. Her acting in both the part of
Lu Jones, old maid of Griggsby Sta
tion, and Mrs. Loehr-Pierson, society
woman of Indianapolis, was fine in ev
ery detail.
Music before the performance and
between the acts was rendered by Al
fred Meyers at the piano, and Riley
Davis who also plays Fiddlin’ Jim in
the play, on the violin.
The play will be given again tomor
row night at which time the curtain
will be held for a while in order to
permit the students to reach the thea
ter after the game. Friday will be the
last night of the play.
It was generally accorded that Mr.
Reddie had done a fine and different
piece of work in the writing of the
play.
11. QF W. THURSDAY NIGHT
Tom Chatburne, 135 Pounder,
Out With Broken Rib
With one victory to their credit for
this season the varsity wrestling team
will leave Thursday night for Seattle
where they will meet the Husky ag
gregation in their.first conference meet
on Friday, January 26. Five men, the
same with one exception, that parti
cipated in the North Pacific meet at
Portland last week, will make the trip
north, accompanied by Coach Widmer.
A development of the North Pacific
meet was made known yesterday, with
the announcement by Widmer that Tom
Chatburne, regular at 135 pounds woul'd
not be able to compete in the Washing
ton event due to a broken rib suffered
during the Portland engagement. After
having the rib broken in the first bout
of his match, Chatburne wrestled a sec
ond time, winning his event.
Bay Garret has been selected by the
coach as the most likely prospect of
taking Chatburne’s place. He will be
one of the men to take the Seattle
trip.
Widmer is making no predictions re
garding the outcome of the Washington
event. Washington this year has a
strong squad, with several of last year’s
lettermen holding down places, Balph
Gale, former team captain, is eligible
and will probably be seen in competi
tion.
The foilwing men will represent Ore
gon in the meet: Chester Sumption 125
pounds, Bay Garret 135 pounds, Harvey
Bobertson 145 pounds, James Bradway
158 pounds and Jens Terjeson 175
pounds.
SENIOR WRITE-UPS ARE DUE
Students Living in Town Urged to
Hand in List Now
Senior write-ups for the Oregana are
due at the end of this week and are
to be brought in to the Oregana office.
One senior in each house has been plac
ed in charge of the write-ups from his
house, and seniors living in town or
who have not been otherwise reached
are requested to turn in their write-ups
at the shack.
The write-ups are to consist of the
activities undertaken during the years
on the Oregon campus, including such
activities as membership on any stu
dent staffs, clubs or honorary organiza
tions, offices held, chairmanship of com
mittees, offices within clubs or organ
izations and in the case of the senior
men participation with a Varsity squad
in athletics. The number of years in
which any person participated actively
in any club rffairs, in athletics or as
the member of any student staff should
be listed.
It is urged that the write-ups be turn
j ed in as early as possible.
TO MATCH FOR PARTNERS
Compiittee Declares Lottery
Absolutely Square
“How’s for trading numbers?”
“Not on your life, they told me I
drew a keen woman.”
“Who’s next?”
“Aw, pi lease tell me who I drew!”
Such bargainings, pleadings, threats,
and bribes were prevalent around the
booth at the library while the numbers
for the Junior Jazz Jinx, a square lot
tery, were given out yesterday after
noon.
A faithful group of young heroes
hovered around, awaiting Ihe arrival of
the demure damsels who might draw
their numbers. Even Pete, the Sigma
Nu canine, proudly displayed a tag
and waited around for his girl to show
up.
Amusement was afforded in an exten
sive exchanging of numbers, despite the
dire warnings of the committee about
the horrible consequences of showing
up Friday night with the wrong woman.
A cynical senior, who didn’t believe
the lottery plan was working very well,

SAYSRUNTINCTON
Problem of Duties as Member
of Physical Education

LONGER TERM NOT ASKED
Grid Instructor Appears in
Person Before Council;
Session Drawn Out
Sliy Huntington has accepted the
one-year contract tendered to him to
coach football at the University.
Huntington appeared in person be
fore the Executive Council at a special
meeting at the Anchorage last night
and made known his decision. He de
clared that the question of the length
of the contract was to him unimportant,
but that he could not continue in his
present capacity until his duties as a
member of the staff of the school of
physical education were satisfactorily
outlined. The delay in accepting the
contract, he explained, was occasioned
by his desire for a definite agreement
as to his duties in the school of physi
cal education.
In a session which lasted more than
five hours, an agreement was reached
whereby Huntington will conduct gym
nasium work for football men in the
seasons in which he is not actually busy
oh the gridiron. It was the concensus
opinion among council members that
a greater degree of harmony between
members of the coaching staff and the
faculty of the school of physical educa
tion would be the result of the meeting.
“Shy” Addresses Council
“I want to stay at Oregon, not one
year, or three years, but always,” de
clared Huntington when the matter of
the three year contract was brought to
the front. He declared that he had
never asked for the longer term, but
that the matter had been taken up by
the members of the football team and
other student agencies. No request was
made that the council alter its one-year
proposition.
Huntington’3 pay will be the same
as this year. It was brought out that
physical education for football men
and a knowledge of the game for the
average student . in the University
would be of value. It has been agreed
that the coach will put in extra time
in this type of instruction, rather than
instructing regular gym classes. Hunt
ington will put in the same amount of
time in football in the fall term and
will spend his time on frosh baseball
and spring football in the third term.

Concert By Music Faculty
Declared Food For the Soul
By John B. Siefert
Tuesday evening in beautiful Alumni
hall, which lends so splendidly to the
proper enjoyment of a delightful pro
gram of salon music, members of the
faculty of the school of music gave the
Schumann trio, opus 105 for violin, cel
lo and piano, three silhouettes for two
violins and piano, by Juron, and the
Beethoven quartette, opus 106, for vio
lin, viola cello and* piano.
The program was a veritable oasis in
the desert, so to speak, and contained
so much that was comforting and sat
isfying, that it truly might be termed
food for the soul. It would be hard to
single out any of the numbers given
from the point of sheer musical enjoy
ment, but many present seemed to ex
press a preference for the Beethoven
quartet. This is possibly due to the
fact that the piano part was so splen
didly handled by Dr. John J. Lands
bury, of wdiose excellent ability as a
pianist the campus knows so much, and
yet hears so little of his magnificent
playing.
A special note of thanks is due Rex
Underwood, for permitting his audience
to become acquainted with the three
charming numbers, by Paul Juron,
which the composer terms “Silhou
ettes.” While all are lovely, and fas
cinating, yet the second one, Douleur,
with its note of melancholy, seems most
beautiful.
Schumann’s lovely trio, which spark
les with much that is romantic, and
Beethoven’s Quartette, combining both
dignity and loveliness, completed a pro
gram that was a joy in every sense of
the word.
Much praise must be given the art
ists of the evening, Aurora Potter Un
derwood and Dr. John J. Landsbury,
pianists, Lora Teshner, cellist, Alberta
Potter and Rex Underwood, violinists.
Beauty of tone, precision, and excellent
intonation, rounded out their ensemble
work to a splendid degree of perfec
tion. May this program, which brought
so much real joy to a very appreciative
audience, be but the beginning of a ser
ies of delightful evenings, that the cam
pus is surely greatly in need of.
