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.

field of home economies. There is food
for much thought in it for women jour

! Prof. George Turnbull’s editorial
notes are brief and to the point as
usual. He writes on timeliest topics

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

The old-timers, he says, used to tell
of periods when the water was over the !
business streets. There vTere no rail-1

could gain entrance without any ob

Another old settler recalled a trip, ,
made by some Bible University stu

men paddled from Eugene to the Mc

The land was completely covered and
it was an easy stunt to make the trip,

Why is a used book unlike a used
car? Because the more you use it,
, the more you can sell it for.
Books make brains, and the world
pays high for brain power.
The bulging dome on the library is
worth emulating. It marks the way
to bulging pockets.
Don’t take our word for it. Ask
some of the old grads, the men
who have gone out before you to
sell their books.
Some have sold them for more than
others# Why? Just ask.
But, you may say, books are not
the only thing. You’re right.
Still, they help.
