B» FHOSH MBS Youngsters Are Poor on Team Work and Miss Many Easy Shots The frosh quintet went on a basket shooting spree yesterday afternoon and swamped the Ashland high school five 56 to 16 in a fast game in the men’s gym. If the Oregon yearlings had con verted all the shots they attempted the score would have gone above the cen tury mark. Numerous easy shots went wild of the hoop. Despite the one-sided score the visiting preppers put up a game fight throughout and in the first half held their heavier opponents fairly even. After Scriptures opened the scoring with a couple of bas kets shortly after the play started, the babes appeared to take things rather easy and did not show much speed. Time after time in this period the high school lads would rush the ball down the floor by exhibiting a pretty passing game. But the burly form of Bob Mautz in the frosh defensive seemed to scare them for they took long and wild shots which seldom were converted. The freshmen would then retrieve the ball nad start it going to the prepper’s basket, usually by dribbling. They exhibited little team work in this half and made less than half of their shots count. This period ended 24 to 9. In the second half the yearlings came back with plenty of vigor and their play ing improved considerably. Gosser and Bryant began to hit the hoop with reg ularity while the guards held the Ash land forwards down to two field goals. The preppers seemed to weaken toward the end of the half and put up less stren uous opposition and the frosh kept hoop ing the markers at a fast clip. Even at that they fell down on many easy chances. Bill Gosser again led in the scoring by hooping long field goals for a total of 20 points. Bryant was not far behind with 18 points, two of them via the free throw route. Only four fouls were called on the preppers. For Ashland, Marske, diminutive forward and Frulen, guard, showed up well. Marske made 12 of his team-mates’ points. The line-up: Frosh— Ashland Bryant, 18 .F.Marske, 12 Scripture, 10 .F.Wetner Gosser, 20 .C.Culbertson Hobson, 8 .G.Clark, 2 Mautz .G.Frulen Farley .S.....Woods Stoddard .S.Caldwell, 2 Referee—Edlunds. FEB. 10 IS SET FOR EXAM Exemption from Freshman English to Be Granted for Good Grades On February tenth, next Saturday, another examination in English com position will be given the 13 fresh men who are still taking the course. At the beginning of the fall term one hundred and twenty-six were registered in the course but the number has been reduced by a slow process of elimina tion to the present class. Many of the original number were exempted in mid-term examinations last term, and twenty-seven were given a satisfactory grade at the beginning of this term. This left the class with only the thirteen now registered in the course. The examination will be given at nine o’clock next Saturday morning and practically the entire class is ex pected to make an attempt to get the English composition skeleton out of the closet. AGGIES IN LEAD (Continued from page one.-) bably eliminate all chances of the Lem on-Yellow winning. The loss of the Washington game by two points seemingly took the pep out of the team, for since that game they haven’t played a single good, fast con test, and apparently play rather list lessly. The way the men on the team worked together in the first games of the season made them look like promis ing championship material, but in the last two weeks they have lost all such appearances and play rather slovenly ball. Coach Bohler has accomplished won ders with the new men he started the season with, and the manner in which they started the season proved that they had plenty of instruction, for they J passed and pivoted like veterans, but now for some unknown reason they have lost their pep, and no team can win unless they have the winning spirit. Coach Bohler predicts the games with the Aggies here on Friday and Satur day will be much more closely contest ed than the ones at Corvallis, and even goes so far as to say Oregon may turn the trick of handing the Aggies their second defeat of the year.

He went out into the garden of the for est and plucked fruit for his lady love. Percy had the right idea and it might as well be used today. Another advantage to the women who would receive the vegetable cor sages: Instead of throwing them away at the end of the week, they could pool the vegetables and the Sunday meal would be right there ready for the cooking. Think it over. FEWER JOBS AVAILABLE DURING WINTER-TERM More Applicants Than Posi-i tions; $2000 Less Earned Employment has decreased greatly this term, according to the Y. M. and Y. W. employment bureaus. There are far more applicants than positions, says Mrs. C. R. Donnelly, hut mother. Bus iness houses aud fraternities are cur tailing their forces. Several commer cial firms have closed. The cold wave contributes to the general depression. Since the opening of the winter termj there have been only five new regular jobs listed. Twenty-six men who have held regular jobs are not employed. If the slump continues there will be $2000 less earned this term. The winter term always is less favorable for work than the fall and spring terms. Mrs. Donnelly states that the fall returns were exceedingly good. The men earned $10,928. This was $3,000 more than the report from last year. A curious fact is noted in that men who have the highest recommendations as accountants and bookkeepers make the best workers on wood-piles. It is the work of these young fellows, says Mrs. Donnelly, that the employers com mend. The report from last term shows that 61 men earned board and room; 17, board or its equivalent, and 15 room. Odd jobs totaled $1500. There are a large number of men who have a reg ular set of customers. These earn from $20 to $30 a month. The 93 regular positions total $9428. There is a scarcity of positions for freshman women. Thirty-eight girls live in homes and by giving three and one-half hours earn room and board. Serving gives regular work to 10. Twelve girls have regular hours for housework in homes of the town. Thir ty-two earn their board by odd jobs, such as caring for children, reading and clerking. Ten stenographers and typ ists are listed as earning their board. The Y. W. C. A., according to Miss Dorothy Collier, plans to make a detail ed survey of the employment situation. SANDBURG HUMAN POET (Continued from page one) Paderewski playing. They would be in the way,” says Walter Yust. “What I do know,” says the poet in an interview, “is that forthcoming book lists will be heavy with this new, hu man, racy, vigorous verse. It is the younger men and women who are writ ing it because they are sick and weary of the everlasting silky blah-blah of the doctrinaries of the last decade. The war has cut deep into the minds of the peo ple. They want the truth, these young poets do; and they want to share what they find of it, honestly, with no frills and flapdoodle, no fine feathers, .but with hard, unequivocal picture words.” This is Sandburg’s own statement and it is the sort of idea he will bring with hinr to the campus. Sandburg is perhaps the most popular poet of modern times, according to scholarly and enthusiastic appreciations of his art, written by Professor Bliss Perry, Dr. John Erskine, Louis Unter ineyer, Edith Wyatt and others. His verso is being translated into French, Spanish, Bussian, Danish, and Italian, which is in itself sufficient testimonial of the universality of his popularity. The literary organizations on the campus, Sigma Upsilon, Pot and Quill, and Crossroads together with the fac ulty, welcome Sandburg here whole heartedly. The library has placed on a special shelf in the lower reading room, a col lection of the poet’s works which all those who hear him will be interested in reading. *■ Organizations for the sale of tickets will be completed within a few days and will be handled in the same man ner as they were for Vachel Lindsay. The campus, it is believed, realizes the opportunity the coming of such men as Sandburg and Lindsay affords them, therefore plans are being made to se cure the largest auditorium on the cam pus for that night. The admission price will probably be twenty-five cents. STUDENTS ABE MABRIED Garrett Lewis and Gwendolyn Hedg es, both sophomores in the University, were married last Monday at the First Methodist church in Portland. Mr. and Mrs. Lewis have withdrawn from school and will leave soon for Seattle, where they will make their home. When en rolled in the University, Mrs. Lewis was a major in the law department and Mr. Lewis was a student in the depart ment of business administration. UNDERCLASS PLAYERS BASKETBALL WINNERS Grace Sullivan Rings Up 37 Points for Sophs The upperclassmen were completely swamped by the underclassmen basket- ] ball teams last night when the soph omore first team ran up a score of 39 i to 10 against the juniors ’ first players, j and the freshman first team won from ( the junior seconds 28 to 4. In the j sophomore-junior game, Mildred Crain did very good work in keeping the ball away from the junior forwards. Grace Sullivan, playing up to her usual high standard, made 37 of the 39 points scor ed against the juniors. The first senior team, in a close and evenly matched game with the sopho Glee over. Following are the commit more firsts Tuesday, were victorious by one basket, the score being 18 to 16. Maude Schroeder played true to form as guard and was greatly helped by Al berta McMonies, who demonstrated ability in intercepting passes. For the second junior team, the Quin lans displayed their usual team work. Melba Byron, forward for the sopho more seconds, was responsible for drop ping most of the baskets annexed by the underclass team. Today the senior first will play the freshman second team, and the junior firsts will toss with the sophomore sec onds. The lineups for last night’s games were as follows: Soph 1 Junior 1 M.

Ted Baker and Jack Myers were re commended for assistant yell leaders by Yell King Rosebraugh. The recommend ation was accepted by the council. Rec ognition was extended to the recently formed chapter of Pan Xenia, interna tional foreign trade society. The following is a letter received from F. H. Young, a graduate of the University, setting forth his reasons for wanting a change in the organiza tion of the executive council. The let ter is typical of those which have been written to students and student offi cials. Salem, Oregon, February 6, 1923. Mr. John MacGregor, Eugene, Oregon. Dear Mr. MacGregor: A feeling that such a move would re sult in great good for the University activities prompts me to urge upon you, and through, you the student body, the advisability of increasing the alum ni representation on the executive council. It has come to my notice that the date for offering amendments to the student body constitution is near at hand, and since any change in the com position of this executive council must be made through an amendment, I want to call your attention to one or two reasons why I deem a change in the membership of this council important. One member of this council at pre sent represents the organized alumni of the state. Judged on the basis of the necessity for continued greater participation in University affairs by the alumni as a means of linking the the University proper with the state at large, or on the basis of cultivating a greater interest in the alumni for their University, it is plain to me that this is too small a representation. The active student body, and the functioning school, both need the keen est interest of the alumni. The scat tered alumni, represented by group or ganizations, need the contact with their alma mater. Certainly this contact is not fully sustained by one member on ly on this executive council. The only worth while interest the alumni can The REX TODAY • is the last chance you will have to see one of the most enjoyable comedies we have ever played. “The Super-Sex” TOMORROW— TOM MIX “For Big Stakes” show for their school is an active inter-! cst. Where can they better obtain this real participation than in the exe cutive council? One other thought, and I have com pleted my brief. The only worth while policy for alumni and student cooper ation will be a continuous policy. To veer this way then that way on matters of student activity and alumni assist- < ance, will be to weaken seriously the chances for the absolutely necessary cooperation. The alumni representation on the ex ecutive council certainly ought to be increased. Cordially yours, F. H. YOUNG.

This year the affair will be held March 10. Active men, with the as sistance of the pledges, give the dance, with the alumni as honor guests. 1 A survey of the campus shows that many of the leaders in present student affairs were affiliated with To-Ko-Lo during their sophomore year.
