Dirt-Eaters Almost Win Fight from Cake-Eaters; Score 21-19 The pen of the journalist is still migh tier than the pick of the geologist. The campus newshounds proved the point when they scribbled a 21-19 victory over the stone crackers in the basketball de bate held in the gym last night. The mix was a free for all affair, hitting and ear biting in clinches being permissable. The encounter was so close ly contested that three extra five-minute sessions had to be played before the Knights of Hunt and Peck put a two head on the story. Mungo Fraser writing the last deck. In fact Fraser wrote so many of the heads on the hoop edition if>at he might as well be credited with putting out the sheet. He is credited with 17 of the 21 markers made by the winners. From the first whistle to the last the game was a hummer, both teams throw- j ing etiquette to the winds and boring, in. Typewriters and picks were taboo! in the crashing melee. Both squads were strong in substitutes, with seven or eight relief men raring to go. The journalists relied on their initial strength, while the men of Quartz hall shoved two cruisers, the scout cruiser, McConnell, and the armored ship, Johnson, in to stem the bombardment, but Admiral Walkley’s flotilla could not penetrate the smoke screen of the destroyers, Fraser, Piper and Youel. Time after time the Quartz subs slip ped down the channel toward the jour nalist base, only to be repelled by the dreadnaughts, Hoyt and Akers. At first the Quartz fleet, Harding, Moore and Fraser executed dexterously, i but the two dreadnaughts kept them well out of range. The pick handlers scored first, Fraser richoeheting one off the backboard. The journalists evened the count, Mungo Fraser tallying when Walk ley and Yonder Ahe tripped over a par ticle of dust and began debating whether it belonged to the Miocene or the Eocene age. Several new points were gained by | witnessing the struggle. Wildest tack ticks were employed by both sides to get the man with the ball. McConnell proved an expert bulldogger when he dragged Fraser to the turf with his brawny arms. Broncho busting was also permitted, sev eral excellent rides being made. Ten fouls were called by Referee McKinney, who incidentally came near being killed several times by the onslaughts of the waring flotillas. COMMERCE SENIORS TAKE PLACE OF INSTRUCTORS Many Methods Used by Impromptu Teachers in Conveying Knowledge to Freshman Classes If grey hairs are discovered, or if new wrinkles have appeared to mar the usually benign countenances of cer tain senior business administration ma jors, be assured that there is a reason. Sleepless nights spent in grim toil to recover the lost knowledge of fresh man days, devising ways and means to check the exuberance of frosh who are, enjoying the absence of their regular instructors, and finally being considered the real article, or in other words a faculty member, is enough to make age descend on anyone in the short space1 of three days, declare the seniors who are taking charge of some of the classes j in the school of business administra tion while the regular instructors are engaged in the work of the merchants ’ convention this week. Walter Hempe, who teaches two div-; isions of beginning accounting, says he will never recover from the shock he received when a member of his class told him it must be hard for him to take charge of three extra classes in V, addition to those he regularly taught. Len Jordan says the best opening exercises he can think of is to announce, “All students please close your books, I will keep mine open,” while George Johnston states that all he has to do at the opening of the period is to an nounce in a stern voice, “Pipe down, you are not at home now.” S. W. Starr declares his greatest diffi culty is that his lectures usually end about five minutes before the hour does. The REX TODAY AND THURSDAY! '—> Thomas H. Ince’s comedy thriller— “THE .

Stil’man, which include classes in accounting and business management. The new faculty members are making a success of the undertaking and are proving satisfactory in every way, say officials of the school of business ad ministration. IMPORTANT ARTICLES IN NEW OREGON EXCHANGES Program of Newspapermen’s Confer ence and Articles by Ralph Casey and Professor Turnbull Feature Tlie February number of “Oregon Ex changes,” which is just off the press, enlarges upon the program for the news papermen ’s annual conference to be held next month. This conference will be memorable in the history of the Uni i versify for the new building for the I school of journalism will be dedicated j at that time.

Casey, | is a story full of the professional loy I alty for which journalists are famous, j The article describes how the burned; | out editors and publishers worked long i | hours with tireless energy to get out | their editions on time as usual. Madaline H. Logan, ’22, gives a time I ly survey of a brand of journalism not well known or thought of by many writ ers. This is the wide and profitable field of home economies. There is food for much thought in it for women jour nalists. ! Prof. George Turnbull’s editorial notes are brief and to the point as usual. He writes on timeliest topics of interest to newspaper men, which are the coming conference, the Astoria journalism spirit, the directory, new kinds of headlines used by leading papers and an admonition not to for get the dates of the conference. Live news notes from all over Oregon fill the back pages of the issue and complete a magazine for all newspaper men in the state. THE HOTTENTOT AT HEX A picture challenge to every comedy special ever screened, is the audacious proclamation of “The Hottentot.” the Thomas H Ince picturization of the famous stage farce comedy that brought, fame and fortune to Willie Collier and which opens today, for two days at the Rex. A brilliant cast led by Douglas MaeLean, Madge Bellamy and Raymond Hatton, enact the stellar roles with a dash and fire that out shadows anything yet seen upon the j •farce field. « The story centers around the mirth filled escapades of Sam Harrington, who for the love of the fair maiden is caught in the web of his own brag gadocios. “Oh! Yes indeed her little boy is so much better off away from her—she would be such a bad influence, you know—that im possible Mrs. Bellew.’’ Try Emerald Want Ads WATER ONCE COVERED TOWN SITE OF EOCENE j : Geological Research Made by Hubert Schenck — When old-timers get together and i tell when tSugene was a ‘regular river during the flood,’ they little realize how near the truth they are. Geologi ! cal investigations show that the pre 1 sent site of the town was once covered ! with water. In the down-town district ! | on Sixth avenue, logs buried very few I feet in the ground have been discover ed. Driftwood that is found in rivers is imbedded in sand and gravel below the surface deposits. The first settlers heard the Indians tell how their grandfathers canoed from the Coburg hills to Eugene and to the . Coast range. This is not improbable,! according to Hubert Schenck, assistant j in geology. The Willamette is con-, stantly shifting back and forth. The: stream has changed its course material ly and recently, he pointed out. Old citizens recount of the good old days when floods were bigger than they are now. Once the business district was under water, they say. S. Smeede states there was a flood in 1881 “that was a flood!” Brush and timber jammed the banks and kept back the surging water to some extent is his statement. Dr. William Kuykendall recalls the overflows of the winter of ’90 and '91 and of 1900. “The water was very high, at least j from 2 to 4 feet higher than the re- i “James, I want it understood that if that impossible Mrs. Bel lew calls, that I am absolutely not at home! ’ ’ REID’S DAIRY Pure Milk and Cream MAID 0’CLOVER BUTTER Dairy Phone 365 159 9th Ave.E.

There vTere no rail-1 roads, and the streets are graded high-1 or than they were then and the water could gain entrance without any ob struction is his explanation. Another old settler recalled a trip, , made by some Bible University stu dents about twelve years ago. These 1 men paddled from Eugene to the Mc Kenzie to Coburg during high water. The land was completely covered and it was an easy stunt to make the trip, he says.
