Three of Four Class Games Taken in Saturday’s Con test; Season Closes The Oregon women’s class basketball teams were winners of three of the four intercollegiate class games with O. A. C. played Saturday at Corvallis. The Oregon seniors walloped the opposing seniors 25 to 2, the sophomores humbled the O. A. C. tossers 32 to 8, and the freshmen won a 25 to 15 victory over the Corvallis freshmen. The Oregon juniors were finally overcome after a hard fight, resulting in the score of 26 to 23 in favor of the opposition. Very little fouling occurred during the four games and the playing was very clean. The Oregon teams wdre working hard and with the exception of the junior tilt, the scofes for Oregon were proof of the superiority of the teams. In all Oregon made 105 points against the 51 scored by the O. A. C. players. The first half of the senior game was spent in merely passing the ball, the score at half time being 9 to 2 in favor of Oregon. The heavy guarding of the Oregon and O. A. C. guards prevented either forwards from running up a score. Charlotte Howells was responsi ble 'for 15 of the 25 points annexed by the seniors, Marjorie Flegel and Wilma Chattin did especially fine work in com bination as centers and kept the ball from the O. A. C. court, the forwards only being able to make one basket dur ing the entire game. Grace Sullivan, forward for the victorious sophomores, was the best forward of the day and had 22 points to her credit. Clever and accurate passing featured this game, while Maude Scliroeder and Alberta McMonies as guards for the Oregon tos sers, were constantly' intercepting pass es and sending the ball into the Oregon territory. At half time the score stood 18 to 2 in Oregon’s favor. During the second half the O. A. C. forwards were only successful in dropping three bask ets and the final score resulted 32 to 8. The freshman game was a pretty ev en draw during the first half. Both teams were steady and the score at the end of the first half was 13 to 8, Ore gon. The O. A. C. freshmen played a hard and consistent game but were not able to keep up with their oppon ents the latter part. Mildred Onslow, forward for the winning team, played a spectacular game, annexing several points by some pretty long distance shots, and totaling 13 points to her favor. Betty Alexander ran the close count of 10 points with her forward mate, making 25 in all against O. A. C.’s 15. Hilda Chase and Marion Hill, as centers, outplayed the O. A. C. oppo sition, and the guarding was close and heavy. The junior game proved the most ex citing from the spectator’s viewpoint. The Oregon junior tossers during the interclass games on the home floor had showed a lack of teamwork and general inability to maintain their own, while the junior team of Corvallis claimed four‘of last year’s varsity players. Shortly after the w-histle had blown the winners started piling up the points until the score stood 18 to 6 at half time. When the players were again on the court, the Oregon juniors staged a big come-back and the tables turned and the Oregon players gave their op ponents a hard fight. Florence Baker, jumping center, by her brilliant play ing succeeded in getting the ball in the Oregon quarter where the Quinlan for wards dropped the baskets. Vernetta Quinlan converted three out of four foul shots. Elizabeth Garrett, who went in, in place of Harriet Veazie, who prov ed too light a guard against her weight ier opponent, did some of the^est work she has done this year and was suc cessful in keeping the ball out of the O. A. C. quarter. The opposing juniors were strong and greatly aided by Alice Kidder who was responsible for 18 of the 26 points annexed by the winners. The final score was 26 to 23. These games marked the close of in terclass basketball. “The season has been a very successful one,” said Miss Waterman who coached the players, “and many girls have turned out for this sport.” Thursday night at 6 o’ clock at the Osburn hotel the executive council of the Woman’s Athletic asso ciatoin and all the girls who have play ed on any of the seven class teams will meet for a banquet which will formally close the basketball season. OREGON DEBATERS WILL VIE FOR COAST HONORS (Continued from page one) «__ son in varsity work, but she was a member of the Susan Cambtell( hall team which won the cup in the women’s do-nut debate series. Lurline Coulter and Margaret Duer ner will go to Corvallis to contest on the negative side of the question for Oregon. Miss Coulter has been a mem ber of the varsity teams for two years; she is also president of Zeta Kappa Psi, women’s national debating society. Miss Duerner is participating for the first time on the varsity team, but she took an active part in do-nut work, Marriage-Divorce Question “Kesolved that a constitutional am endment should be adopted giving con gress the power to regulate marriage and divorce in the United States.” This is the question decided upon for the dual debate scheduled for April 19 be tween the women’s teams of the Uni versities of Oregon and Washington. Seven girls are now working on the squad, and the teams for this debate will be chosen by Professor Thorpe about a month before the contest. The girls are Eugenia Strickland, Frances Ward, Edna Largent, Margaret Wood son, Florence Walsh, Julia Raymond, and Mildred Bateman. Those girls par ticipating in the O. A. C. debate are also eligible to work for the Washing ton contest. Six Enter Oratorical Tryouts Those students who plan to enter the Peace oratorical contest will have a chance to try out some time next month, according to Mr. Thorpe. Approximate ly six persons have so far signified their intentions to try out. The one chosen from these contest ants will represent the University at the contest to be held in Salem at Will amette University sometime ii^ the spring. This is an activity in which all the colleges and universities of the state participate. The National Peaee society will award $75 for the best oration, and $50 for the second best. The winner in the state contest also competes in the na tional contest by submitting his ora tions to the Peace society. Oregon did not compete in the contest last year, at which the 0. A. C. representative won the prize. O. A. C. also won the national prize last year. The subject of the orations has to be on peace, as the purpose of the con test is to stimulate interest in peace and its problems. The length of the oration is limited to 1500 words. COL LEADER WRITES OF ENGLISH FOOTBALL (Continued from page one.) uncomfortable. There was a wing for ward (an end), a tall fair haired boy who was ‘ rarin ’ to go ’ all the time, his hands swinging backwards and for wards in front of his crouched body waiting for the pounce, and«he brought! me back at once to the hospitable board of the Sigma Chi, and I nearly drew blood from my lips in stopping myself from giving him some mild encourage ment. There were many similar instan ces among the players and at last the awful thing happened. One of the Eng lish backs was a great husky fellow of about 7’ 0” high (more or less!) and he ran all crouched up, with his knees nearly up to his chin, looking as if he were going quite slow until you saw the sprinters who were after him drop-! ping further and further to the rear. He looked as if he only touched the line gently until you saw the line of corpses that marked -his wake! In the second half he got the ball and smash ed righ through the line for big yard age and a try. It was at that terrible moment that the stands were scandal ized by a discordant bellow from their midst. The roof rang to the sound of ‘Attaboy Hunk.’ Eor a moment there was an awed silence reminding one of a cathedral, which silence wras only \ broken by loud yelps from home-sick Yankees in different parts of the stand.. There -were quite a lot of them, and J if Art Rosebraugli had been writhing down in front of us we could have put up a very creditable display. To us Celts the magic carpet is an everyday j occurence, for just that fateful mo ment the immaculate person on my right was for al^ practical purposes John Piper bellowing stolidly through his megaphone, while the equally ele gant cousin on my left developed the white agonized face and high tones of Del Oberteuffer when Oregon stood off Washington on that one yard post with four to go; the old lady to mv front,; to whom I have previously referred had turned (God forgive me for say ing so) into the three little Gamma Phis whose bobbed heads I last remem ber lying exhausted against one another after that last desperate rally of the Oregon rooters at Washington. There must have been a pretty low type of person in the stand that day because ; there was quite a roar of sound for the rest of the match and even my cousins tapped the boards with their canes. One of the greatest trials here for a person coming back from the West is the appalling amount of misery and poverty. In the West we have about ten people to the square mile; back here we have about ten people to the square meal. The roads on the way back to the railway stations were lined with white-faced men, many of them wearing their medals and decorations, j Perhaps the ones we left in Franee and Flanders were the luckiest after all. “The Theatre Beautiful” The REX Last Chances to See it-Today! “MISSING MILLIONS” The greatest of all ‘‘Boston Blackie” stories Coming Tomorrow— ‘‘SINGED WINGS” Co-starring % Bebe Daniels—Conrad Nagel rhcre was one tall slim boy selling violets. I hardly knew him at first with his wasted cheeks, because in the trenches we lived pretty well. However, when he caught my eye he flushed up for a moment and then he smiled the same brave smile that he had smiled back from the parapet of the trench to his men that July day when he led his platoon smashing through four lines of the Boche.—You see perhaps the posi tions were analogous, or possibly it was even easier for him to whoop his men on that day than it w-as for him to smile at liis former colonel on this day. I ascribe my fall from grace entire y to the vitiating company and condi tions under which I have lived for the past five years. Strangely enough my companions seemed to be quite bucked about it and want me to go with them to all the football games. EARTHQUAKE OBSERVED BY ARTHUR CAMPBELL (Continued from page one.) southern part of the state east of the mountains. One of the interesting facts mentioned is that the flow of a luke warm spring soutlf of Lakeview was doubled, although the temperature re mained the same. “There were many funny stories told of things that happened during the quake,” writes Campbell. “One is the story of a Jap who was playing pool or billiards. He was all prepared to shoot, then suddenly the balls all rush ed at him. He dropped his cue, scream ed, ‘Gee Cli, what you call him?’ and dashed out the back door of the pool hall.” Shocks were reported over a period of six hours, according to the data in | the letter. The first shock was strong enough to ring the clock in the court house tower. SANDBURG TALKS UNTIL SUN-RISE AT ANCHORAGE (Continued from page one) to remember home and families, and took their leave. At the suggestion of Norman Byrne, one of the members of Crossroads, the rest of the parly re paired to his room in a house down the street. When Sandburg picked up his banjo as they left the tea house, he found several cigarette butts in it, dropped in side by interested members of his small audience. He laughed at the uncon scious tribute to his compelling words. When they came to Byrne’s room, Sandburg refused both the davenport and the chairs and slipping down upon the floor, leaned back against the dav enport, wrapped his overcoat around him and said, “Now we're ready for a dawn party.” So he sat on the floor until seven o’ clock and talked and listened. All formality slipped away from him as the minutes slipped by and those who sat up with him through the night had a rare glimpse of the real Sandburg, quite as fresh at seven as at twelve, his grey suit a bit slouchier perhaps, but his grey eyes behind the steel-rimmed glasses as unblinking as ever, and his slow, casual expletives just as slow and casual.
