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.

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.

uncomfortable. There was a wing for

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

had turned (God forgive me for say

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.

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

back from the parapet of the trench to
his men that July day when he led his

EARTHQUAKE OBSERVED

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

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.
