DELEGATES PRAISE STATE FEDERATION CONFERENCE IRA Medford Convention Termed Worth-while by Returned University Visitors DEAN EDGINGTON ATTENDS Georgia Benson, Edwina Richen Are Sent to Represent Women’s League “It was a most worth-while conven tion,” says Dean Edgington, in discuss ing the convention of the state feder ation of Women’s clubs, which she at tended in Medford, the first of this week. Miss Edgington was accompan ied by Georgia Benson, president of Women’s League, ^nd Edwina Richen, who also attended as a' delegate from Women’s League. The Tuesday and Thursday sessions of the conference were held in the Presbyterian church at Medford, and were attended by 300 women. “While most of the state papers played up the frictions which oecured in the various sessions, they were, in reality hardly noticeable,” said Dean Edgington. “There seemed to be a sincere effort on .the part of the delegates really to do something which was worth while.” “Two intensely interesting reports were presented,” continued the Dean. “One of these related to the drug traf fic in the state of Oregon, and was presented by Mrs. G. J. Frankel of Portland.” Talk is Interesting While an average of only a few min utes was given for the presentation of each subject, this particular talk proved so interesting to the audience that the speaker was urged to continue beyond the stated time. Mrs. Frankel had made a scientific investigation of the matter and illustrated her talk with actual cases of disintegration of moral power, in connection with the drug habit. Another talk of special interest was that given by Miss Julia Spooner, rep resenting the Portland grade school teachers, who presented a plan for the bureau of research in the public schools for determining better methods of hand ling backward and deficient children. Miss Spooner said that it cost the school board a large amount to take care or these deficient children and that plans should be made to segregate them in order to care for them better. This is being done to some extent in some schools but as yet there is a lack of sys tem, said Miss Spooner. Dean Commends Work “I was gratified to see the large amount of interest taken in educational affairs,” said Miss Edgington. “At present the state federation is maintain ing a loan fund through which women students may obtain money for school ing. During the past year, the La Grande Women’s club contributed $107 toward this fund, this being the largest amount given this year. Hood River took second place with a $100 contri bution. “Throughout the iconvention there was a tendency to respect education and help in any way possible toward the furthering of educational institu tions,” Oregon’s dean of women de clared. The second day of the convention, the women were taken to Ashland in mach ines provided by the townspeople of Medford. Here an all day session was held in the Women’s Civic Club house, in Lithia Park, Ashland. “We were most loyally treated by the Ashland people” said Miss Edgington in discuss ing the event. “The men of the Ash land Chamber of Commerce presented each woman with an Ashland rosebud and a souvenir post card of the city. We were also provided with cars for the reurn trip to Medford at the close of the session.” Georgia Benson Speaks Georgia Benson, president of Wo men ’s League, was one of the speakers on the program, and gave an outline of the work done by the League during the past year. “Though we may not re ceive any direct benefit from the con vention,” said Miss Benson, “we shall profit by the contact with older women in the discussion of the big problems of the day which are of special interest to women. “The girls were well received by the club women,” says Miss Edgington, “and I believe that it is of great bene fit to us to give outsiders a closer con tact with the type of girls turned out by our University.” DB. BEBEC NOW IN ITALY Dr. -George Rebec, according to a let ter received by Dean Dyment, is now in Italy. The letter was written from Nice. Plays Part of Nancy in Guild Hall Comedy Kate Pinneo THE GREAT BRBXQPP PLAYED SECOND TIE Vern Fudge and Kate Pinneo Take Leading Roles “The Great Broxopp,” played a see on d time to a Guild hall audience last night, starring Vern Fudge, Kate Pin neo, Dave Swanson and Elizabeth Bobin son, presented an amusing and delightful story of modern social and business life. Vern Fudge was especially good in the title role, and showed his usual talent and versatility. Kate Pinneo, the Company comedy star, played a mixed part excep tionally well. The understanding and sympathy shown in her part were good. Dave Swanson and Elizabeth Robin son were a very fine pair and received much commendation from the audience. Wenona Dyer did a clever bit opposite Joe Clark and added to the interest of the comedy, which is being staged in America for the first time. It is an English production. Indicative of the extent the great game of advertising has been sensed by the public in recent years, the audience in the two performances of “The Great Broxopp” already given on the campus have been heard in whispered tones guess ing at the new article to be put on the market by the advertiser. The entire cast workod well last night and the play with >he bizarre moiif cf euphonious advertising phrases took well. It will be played again tonight. SALE OF POPPIES BRINGS $20 FOR WAR VETERANS _i_ Women’s Auxiliary of American Legion Has Booth on Campus for the Soldier Benefit Fund Over 200 poppies, making a total sum of more than $20, were sold from the booth in front of the library yes terday, according to information re ceived from the committee in charge of the booth last night. The sale was sponsored by the Women’s auxiliary of the American Legion to raise money for the care of the many ex-service men who have been discharged from the government hospitals. The poppies were made of red cloth and represented as nearly as possible the poppies that grew in the battle fields of Flanders. These flowers are known to every man who saw service over seas and they have been the theme for several war-poems. The women, therefore, thought them especially suited for a memorial of the days of the war. University women took charge of the booth during the day. FRESHMEN TIKE FIRST OF SERIES B» 3 TO 2 SCORE Coleman Pitches Good Ball for Ags, but Harrison has Better Support HOBSON GETS WINNING RUN Season’s Best Game is Seen by Few; Cold and Rain Fail to Check Speed Despite a wet field, and a cold day the Oregon freshman came back with a vengeance and trimmed the O. A. C. rooks in one of tlief astest games that has been seen on Cemetery Ridge this season. Both teams fielded exception ally well, despite a soggy field and wet ball. The final score was 3 to 2 for the frosh. From the outset, the game was a pitcher’s battle between Coleman, the rook parrafin-ball pitcher, and Harri son, the frosh chucker. Both men pitched a good brand of ball, Harrison allowing the rooks but three safe bin gles and Coleman was nearly as stingy letting the Oregon babes down with but four safeties. Each of the twirlers walked two men. It was a heart breaking game for the young Aggie slabster to lose, but his teammates were more erratic in the field than the frosh and it cost them the game. Errors Pave Way for Score The game was a regular thriller, ninth inning rally with all the trim mings. When the freshmen came to bat in the last half of the ninth, the score was tied, ecah crew having two counters. “Hobby” Hobson, first up, laced a hot one down to Baker, the rook short stop and that worthy made the boot that the freshmen turned into the jyinning score. “Hobby” started for second on the next play and the Ag backstop let the pitch get away from him, Hobson going to third. In the attempt to catch the runner at third, Billsboro overthrew third and “Hobby” raced over the rubber with the winning tally. The rook counters were made in the seventh frame when Greenwood reached first on a fielder’s choice and Bills boro slapped one past the outer gard ners for a homer. Tho other two coun ters for the frosh came in the second, Frame singled and crossed the platter when Scriptures tripled. Scriptures came in on the next play when Osborne booted Bliss ’ grounder. Frosh Field Well Sharp fielding on the part of the frosh played a large part in keeping the visitor’s hits down and on several occa sions it was little short of robbery to take the hits from the Aggie yearlings. In the eighth inning Sigrist poled one out that looked like a homer, but Fuzzy Carson sprinted back and leaping into the air, pulled it down. He fell as he made the catch but managed to hold the spheroid. A similar catch was made by Bittner, when he went half way to right center field after Osborn’s fly. Baker, the rook shortstop, made a pretty one (Continued on page three.) CO-OP WILL PAY DIVIDENDS Dividends will in all probability be paid this year by the Cooperative store association, according to announcement from the Co-op; but as yet the rate has not been determined. Nor is it known when the dividends will bo given, as the tickets have not been counted, but it is expected that about examination week returns will be made. Frosh Jambouree Held in Gym; Color and Food Are Features It was a riot of color, festivity, nad noise. So it might be classed the jig ging jollification of the yearling class, held last night in Bill Hayward’s hall under the auspices of the Order of Boob. It was a riot throughout, from the first gallop until the last couple limped off the wax, declaring that it was the best ever, in spite of the fact that the decorations were nothing more than gym implements. Who was there? Well, all the gang that slipped the green turban into the fire barrel Junior Week-end and all the fair lassies of the clan of ’26. Pres ident Campbell and Dean Straub were there to see that nothing happened to the Dean’s “biggest and best.” Every corner of the globe, with the exception of the Fiji islands and an ambassador from the realm of Tu-tank ham-an-eggs was there adding noise and pollity to the riot. There were pirates and piratesses armed with knives and cutlasses, with rings in their ears and noses and war paint smeared on their faces. Indeed they were a motley crew and would have been a credit to Captain Kidd when he scuttled Span ish galleons on the rolling main. Added to this seagoing aggregation were sail ors from Uncle Sam’s finest. There were cowboys and cowgirls, just in from the range, clad in boots, spurs, wide sombreros and armed with long six-guns whose barks added to the riotous occasion. Sheiks and sheik esses also mingled with the crowd lend ing color to the scene in their oriental garb and desert manner. Some of the sheiks had the mein of Arabian horse mn and galloped about the enclosure with the skill and dexterity of their desert relatives. Of course the country bumpkins were there in their ill fitting jackets, straw hats and ties which looked as if mama had labored under difficultes getting the child to hold still long enough to have his Adam’s apple hidden from the (Continued on page three.)
