FROM TO END Two Games With Washington and Franklin High Schools Are Scheduled Oregon’s frosh basketeers began their last week of practice Monday night. Two games with Franklin and Washington high schools Friday and Saturday after noons will close the hoop season for the babes, as well as for the campus as a whole. Both of these games should prove easy for the fast yearling five, as neither of the opposing teams has hung up a very remarkable record during the past Beason. Both finished somewhat below the top rung in the Portland Interscho lastic League' race, which will be con cluded this week. Both teams were de cisively defeated earlier in the season by the frosh. However each may have profitoil greatly by exeperience gained during the regular season, and may give the Oregon lads a good rub, although Shy Huntington’s proteges are also a much better balanced squad than they were at the opening of the season. During the past two weeks the year lings ran up their already imposing string of victories to 15 out of a total of 17 games played. In points scored they have amassed a total of 622 against 368 for their opponents. This is an aver age of more than 36 points a game and shows that the frosh have a real scoring machine. Throughout the ‘season there has boon an interesting race for high point honors between Deck Bryant, speedy forward and foul-tosser de luxe, and Bill Gosser, center. Up lo the time of the final rook game honors were fairly even, but since then Bryant has outdistanced his team-mate by a considerable margin. Bryant now has 221 points to his credit while Gosser has 183. By virtue of his foul-shooting ability, Bryant may be con ceded to have an advantage, as honors are about oven as far as field goals are con cenrned. The stocky forward has developed into a wonder at converting free throws. Out of 131 chances for the season he has converted 74, or better than half of his attempts. Gosser was decidedly off form in the final game with Columbia last Saturday, failing to chalk up a single counter. It is probable that lie will make a determined attempt, to better his record this week-end. LAUGHTER EXTOLLED AS SIGN OF HAPPINESS (Continued from page one.') we’re interested. However, jtho fore going statements need qualifications if they are to be taken seriously. Before we order our caps and bells, or perman ently assume the expression of a profes sional pall-bearer, we’ve got to be as strongly convinced of the solemnity of the situation as a negro who absent-mindedly strolls into a convention of the King Kleagles of the K. K. K. Fairbanks receives a salary that makes the school tax in the China look like the third prize in an essay contest for a co-ed code; Charley Chaplin can afford to marry Pola Negri; John Held, jr., draws a salary ns well as comics) just for making us laugh. Should wo start a campaign to have them isolated as a menace to. civilization? Should Mark Twain's works lie supressed along with bolshevik propaganda. Can’t we even smile when an instructor cracks a chest nut in class? Some comparatively famous men have laughed. It has been rumored that old Tutank was found with a smile on his mummified countenance; perhaps the laugh killed him. Julius Caeser cracked a mean smile whenever a gladiator came out second best in a no decision bout with a man cater and Napoleon got his, proli ably because tie thought that Waterloo was going to be a one re>el "comedy. Abraham Lincoln told some side-split ting yarns, lint we overlook them be cause he kept our country from unravel ling. Theodore Koosevelt had one of the healthiest grins of modern times, but it didn’t destroy him until he had “de lighted” us for two terms and scared a lot of folks the third time. The camera catches President Harding laughing, every once in a while, but.well, the next election is rolling around, and we shall see. Oh shucks, we all laugh. Until we see the readers of the college comic committing mayhem upon the per son of its editor in a, desperate attempt to demonstrate the fundamental elements of true humor, while the staff of that publication show their appreciation by gibbering delightedly among the branches of the Condon Oaks, we’ll take our chances on laughter. INTERESTING SIGHTS IN MEXICO DESCRIBED (Continued from page onel with f lush ing black eyes ami slim ankl es. They all wore - strangely enough— a bjack veil over their heads, sometimes drawn over the lower part of their faces a la Egypt. The only color manifested was in the giddy stockings. They all used white powder very freely on their faces and in one shop we asked a pretty girl why she used so much. She laugh ed. shook her big hoop earrings, snap ped her eyes and said something unin telligible to our ears. At a niche in the wall of one street we saw the sign “ires Musketeers.” Curious, we looked in and there were three shoemakers busily at work—but not too busy to stop and laugh with us. Far up the street we heard music and hurried along. It came from the window what looked like a jail, but was a pri vate home. We listened outside and presently a woman with a captivating smile asked us, with true Mexican hos pitality, to come in. We accepted her invitation and found a dozen young people singing. They all had the soft melodious voices which seem to belong to that black-eyed race. They were singers from Mexico City and were practicing for a performance. We liked them very much and they were sorry to have us leave. We walked from the United States to Mexico for our meals and slept on American soil. ( We ate at an interna tional restaurant and danced at the Cosmopolitan club, where the most re cent American jazz made us happy. JUDGES SELECTED FOR OREGON SONG CONTEST Contestants to Strive for Honor Instead of Material Prize; Regulations Axe Announced At a meeting of the Oregon song con test committee yesterday afternoon it was decided that there would be no at tempt to give a prize for the winning song but that the honor of writing “the” Oregon song should be ample j reward. It was also decided that mem bers of the committee would conduct the contest this year, but in the future the work should be taken up by the students, and as a means of securing definite results a song should be added each year, one of the upper classes hav ing charge of the arrangements. The five judges selected for the con test are Dr. John Landsbury, Gerald Humes, Charlotte Benefiol, Marion Linn and Wayne Akers. Songs submitted for the contest must lie serious, dignified, impressive and if I possible must not be reminiscent. The i range must not bo over one octave, the committee decided. Further than these regulations the judges, will be glad to receive all types of songs, parodies, top I ical, humorous, march, and sentimental songs. They may be submitted with or without words, and poems will be ac ; cepted for song writers. If anyone knows of a song to which Oregon words could be set, such an arrangement would ! be suitable. The time for the closing of the con ! test will be announced later. All songs must be submitted to Prof. W. F. G. ! Timelier, chairman of the contest eom I uittee. Other members of the commit ' tee are Grace Edgington, John Stark Evans, George Hopkins, Art Rose' j braugh, and Maxine Buren. CHICAGO TRUST COMPANY TO OFFER PRIZE OF $2500 Awards Will Be Made to Stimulate Interest in Commerce in Middle-West Word has just been received at the ! president’s office from Ralph E. Heil \ man, dean of the school of commerce at Northwestern University, Evanston, III., that a series of prizes are to be awarded for compositions dealing with the subject of commerce. The Chicago Trust company is offer ing these various rewards with the pur pose of bringing to light latent talent j and to illuminate some of the questions of business principles and procedure. The first prize for the stimulation of ! research, to be given in 1925, amounts to $2,500. The same amount will be offered every three years following. Chicago and middle-west banking cir cles believe that there is great indus trial expansion just ahead, and that this period of augmented industry will bo directly reflected in ii demand for more highly trained managers for both financial and industrial concerns. Hence the offer of prizes to stimulate the in terest of students of commerce in the growth and development of business in ' the Middle West.

The decorations for the whole ground floor are being designed by Edgar ISuh' mun, a member of the club, following out a studio interior effect with^oriental rugs, yards of black velvet, batiks and carefully blended colored lights to cast a soft glow on sculpture, and other objects d ’art. “The Anchorage is such a suitable! place for decorations of this kind,” said Mr. Molilman, “because of the windows looking out on the water, the stairs and the fireplace.” Besides thirty-five members and their partners there are ten other couples, outside guests, invited by members of the club, according to George Wolff, general chairman of the dance. Dick Sundeleaf will give the feature dance for the occasion, and since this will be his first public appearance as a dancer there is great speculation as to who his partner is. As to whether she is an imported Hula Hula dancer or a lady just over from gay “Paree” he has maintained a complete and madden ing silence. Patrons and patronesses are Profes sor and Mrs. Alfred H. Schroff, Profes for and Mrs. W. E. B. Willcox, and Mr. and Mrs. Eiler Brown, all of the school of architecture and allied arts. Progfams are being designed by Balph Klep of Lemon Punch fame. Mu sic will be furnished by Larson’s or chestra. NOW PLAYING! 3rd DAY LIMITED SHOWING Tne Rex Pi events— . The REX 4 Showings Daily at 1.30, 4, 6:30. 9 P. M.
