DO NUT LEAGUES
ARE REORGANIZED

House Basketball Teams Now,

FAST FIVES DEVELOPED
Championship Is Doubtful as
Dark Horses Appear
The first round of the play-off in
do-nut league basketball, with the ex
ception of one unplayed tie between the
Kappa Sigs and Fijis, is now a thing
of the past. The two highest teams in ,
each league will bo placed in a new
league called league A. The remainder
of the teams who failed to place in the
select circle will form league B, and
will play to see who ranks highest among I
tho second division teams.
The eight teams composing league A arg.
Friendly hall, Sigma Chi, Oregon club, j
Phi Kappa Psi, Beta Theta Pi, Delta j
Tau Delta, Phi Delta Theta, and the
winner of the Kappa Sigma vs. Phi1
Gamma Delta tilt.
Eleven teams make up league B, name
ly, Kappa Delta Phi, Alpha Beta Chi,
Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Pi Tau,
Bachelordon, Sigma Nu, Psi Kappa, Al
pha Tau Omega, Chi Psi, Phi Sigma Pi,
and the team not yet decided.
In order that all of the contests may
be played and the championship .de
cided before the Christmas holidays, four
games a day will be played from now
on. Two games will be played in league
A and two in league B, daily. Games
will be played at 4 and 5 o’clock in the
afternoon and two contests will also be
played at 7 and 8 in the evening. This
will afford the basketball fans an al
most continuous round of play.
Teams Evenly Matched
It is a hard proposition to dope out
the comparative strength of the differ
ent teams in either league. The sorting
out of the leading teams in one league
and the slower ones in another according
to their percentage standing will make
the teams matched against each other
more even and will tgnd to do away with
the one-sided games and lopsided scores.
Besides the different aggregations have |
improved a great deal since the start of .
the season, both in physical conditionj
and in teamwork. The players have re-;
covered “the old shooting eye” and are j
making a much higher percentage of ;
their baskets. Consequently the teams
who started out at the beginning of the
season in a slump have entirely re
covered and are at present stepping out
and giving the leaders some stiff com
petition.
Sigma Chi, for example, in league A,
might bo said to be the strongest as
based upon consistent play in their pre
vious contests. Yet they were the recip
ients of a decisive defeat administered
by the Fijis, who had been previously
regarded as having little eliance witli.tlio
league leaders. In spite of this sot back,
however, they should come back and givo
anyone the hottest kind of competition
for the title.
Kappa Sigs to Play Fljl9
Tho Kappa Sigs, winners for the past
three seasons, will play the Fijis at 9
o’clock Monday evening in a postponed
game to see who remains in league A,■
and who is sent back to league B.;
This game should be a hummer from
start to finish as both quintets havo
come back after an early season slump
and have been playing a fast brand of
ball in their later encounters.
The Phi Kappa l’si and Phi Delta
Theta fives are still undefeated and it
remains for the faster opponents which
they meet in the new league to show
whether they have material of champion
ship caliber or not. In fact any of the
teams in league A are fast enough to
trounco their opponents in a most un
conventional manner and romp away
with the championship. Some very fast
and hard fought games are on tap for
the fans and they will be well wroth
watching.
All Games Scheduled
The S. A. E. and A. T. O. aggregation
seem at first glance to be the class of
the teams in league B. Both possess fast
well rounded offensivei and defensive
fives, with the necessary scrap and speed
to put over a victory. The Sigma Nu,
Bachelordon and Kappa Delta Phi also
have fast fives and will need to be
reckoned with by*hnyone in the second
league. One of the other teams might
also pull the unexpected and come out
on to]', but such is not likely.
The second round of play for the title
begins Monday when five games will be
played by the participants of the sport
upon the polished floor. The extra game
will be the one between the Kappa Sigs
and Fijis.
The games for Monday will be:
Friendly ball vs. Sigma Chi.
Oregon’ club vs. Phi Kappa Psi.
Kappa Delta Phi vs. S. A. E.
Sigma Nu vs. Chi Psi.
Kappa Sigma vs. Phi Gamma Delta.
FACULTY GRANTS HALF
HOLIDAY NEXT MONDAY
(Continued from page one)
“If everyone returns promptly to the
campus Sunday after the Stanford
game, the loss of time, including the
Friday afternoon holiday, will not bo(
excessive. If all of Monday were taken
and large numbers of students did not
return from Portland until Monday
night, Tuesday also would be practical
ly lost and the term’s work would;
be seriously hurt. It is in the interest i
of everyone to avoid this Ipss. On the i
other hand, due respect will be paid to
Armistice day by the two joint pro-1
grams arranged for Sunday and Mon
day.
“I sincerely hope every student will
loyally stand by the plan as outlined
above and support by attendance the
memorial meeting Sunday afternoon and
the Armistice day celebration Monday
afternoon.”
Emerald Kept Busy
Last night workers in the copy room
of the Emerald were reminded of the
spring elections of the A. S. U. O. The
editors were besieged for a short period
by students asking for information of
the action taken by the faculty in re
gard to declaring a holiday for the
University on Monday. The consequent
heavy traffic on the wires was .very
similar to jamming resulting from re
quests for returns from the polls.
AMERICAN MISSIONARY
TO VISIT IN NOVEMBER
Rev. John Lake May Speak to Students
of Conditions In Southern China
or on Le^er Problem
Rev. John Lake, an American mis
sionary in south China, will visit the
campus as a guest of Dr. Warren D.
Smith during the last week of Novem
ber. Arrangements hre being made for
him to speak to the students either
upon the conditions in south China or
upon the leper problem. Definite plans
as to the time of his appearance have
not been made.
Reverend Lake is now engaged at
the largest leper colony in the world.
The location of the settlemnt is on the
island of Tai-Kam at the mouth of
West river, 90 miles south of Canton.
The region here is infested with pi
rates, says Dr. Smith, head of the
geology department. So intense, how
ever, is the respect that these free
booters have for the missionary that
he and his co-workers are never
molested.
.neverena ijaice is an authority on
Cantonese. He speaks the language as
well as he does English. He is a per
sonal friend of Dr. Wu Ting-Fang, min
ister of foreign affairs, and of the
former premier, Tang Shao-Yi. The
Chinese government has aided him in
his work on the island by granting to
him at various times the use of Chinese
gun-boats.
Beverend Lake has asked Dr. Smith
to make a geological report of the
island Dr. Smith has not yet decided
to accept the offer.
SOPHOMORE DANCE TO
HAVE ORIENTAL SETTING
Feature and Decorations Harmonized by
Committees; Patrons and
Patronesses Named
Plans for the sophomore dance to
bo given in the armory on November
17 are fast being completed. Paul
Krausse, head of the decorating com
mittee, reports that very distinctive and
elaborate Oriental decorations are to
be used. Many colors are to be em
ployed and the effect is to be one that
has novcr been secured in the armory
before.
Costumes for the feature dance, which
is ,to bo in harmony with the general
decorations, have been ordered. An
unsubstantiated rumor has it that
Cladys Noreen and Kathryn Jane Seal
are to bo the dancers.
The committees have been working
very well and taking an active interest
in the dance, says Floyd McKalison,
the general chairman. Thanks are also
due to the O. A. C. Srtollors, who gave
up their regular Saturday night con
tract for the armory so that the biggest
dance floor in town would be available
for the sophomore dance.
As the affair is open to everyone
in the University, freshmen must not
feel themselves excluded, says Floyd.
The patrons and patronesses for the
dance are: President and Mrs. P. L.
Campbell, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Benefiel,
Mr. and Mrs. A. 11. Scliroff, Gov. and
Mrs. Walter Pierce, Dean Esterly, Fer
gus Beddie, Mr. and Mrs. Warren D.
Smith, Mr. and Mrs. W. F. G. Thacher,
Dean and Mrs. C. V. Dyment, Mr. and
Mrs. F. S. Dunn, Mr. and Mrs. Virgil
liarl, Mr. and Mrs. Bob Earl, Dean
and Mrs. Walker and Mr. and Mrs.
P. 0. Crockatt.
ON CLOSE PLEADS
CAUSE OE THE CHINESE
Speaker and Author Pictures
Conditions in ‘Near-East’
“Today’s mechanical development
has crowded nations together physical
ly, but separated them mentally and
sympathetically,” said Joseph W. Hall,
better known by the pen-name of “TJp
ton Close,” in his address before as
sembly yesterday, pleading the cause
of the down-trodden Chinese.
“The Atlantic has long been de
veloped,” he said. “It is time the
Pacific was developed. I wish Ameri
can people would ‘cut out’ calling
China the ‘far east.’ She is really
America’s ‘near east.’”
Taking “The Melodrama of Republi
can China” as his theme, the speaker
dramatized the fall of the Chinese dy
nasty and depicting the many uprisings
and wars since the rule of Yuan Shili
Kai, said, “The last act of this melo
dranja is being played now. America
need not be alarmed over the numbers
killed in China’s small wars. They
ve small beside the numbers killed in
motor accidents in the United States.”
■ When Yuan Shih-Kai announced him
self ruler of China, and when people
awoke one morning at the beginning
of the World war to find the old Chi
nese flag with its dragon flying in
place of the stripes of the republic,
Chinese students arose in a body for
the new cause. Their leader said that
he used two methods to rid himself of
those who bothered him—bribery and
assasination.
Mr. Hall told an interesting tale of
Yuan Shih-Kai’s dealings with a
troublesome politician. He was given
$60,000 and a special train in which to
go home, in return for forgetting his
demands. On the way home he mysteri
ously died, and soon a group of men
brought back Yuan’s $60,000.
Yuan handed the men $30,000, saying,1
‘‘I was willing to give that fellow
$30,000; you boys might as well have
it.”
The heroic deeds of the Chinese girls
at the time of a revolution were de-!
picted by the speaker, who was in the
capital at the time. When the girls,
attending normal school in the city,
heard that the men sudents were storm
ing the capital they “rushed the gates”
and appeared with the men at the capi
tal.
“The Chinese did not understand the
significance of the World war,” Mr.
Hall said. “They thought it was the
result of bad living, “because they
themselves are so slow. Japan was
only too anxious to break off relations
with China so she. could put into ef
[ feet the secret pacts made with these
[ student leaders and thus add many mil
lion yen to the Japanese treasury.”
Joseph Hall has been in China for
eight years, during that time acting as
secreatry of foreign affairs to General
Wu, and doing newspaper correspond
ence work. With difficulty and many
times with a price on his head, he
traveled in the interior of China in
native costume sendirtg through stories
and compelled to relinquish his real
name. At the end of his documents,
to that they would be recogni/.ed by
Eng'ish officials, he would write “up
close,” and to make the name appear
as a pen-name, so*lhat he could use it
in his articles, Mr. Hall changed it to
Upton Close. -

HOURS OF MAIL TRAINS
EXPLAINED BY LANDRUM
Letters Go to Points North Twice Daily;
Man Makes Extra Collection
at Box on 13th Street
Felix Landrum, postmaster of the
University depot, has made an investi
gation about out-going trains and mail
delivery for the benefit of those stu
dents who are always wondering if
their letters are going to “get there
tomorrow morning.” •
Ho states that northbound trains
carrying mail leave Eugene at 10:43
in the morning and 6:35 in the eve
ning. The train carrying mail south
leaves at 12:12 p. m.
The mail box on 13tli street between
the library and Friendly hall is a safe
place to mail letters to go out on the
morning mail for the north, or the noon
train south, for a special postman takes
i up all correspondence there at 9 a. m.,
u
{]} We guarantee that all our prescriptions are put up irum.
only chemically pure drugs and chemicals, and are filled by a
competent, registered pharmacist.
(jj All prescriptions are promptly filled and will be delivered
free upon request.
The University Pharmacy

ind the regular mailman empties the
box again about noon. Letters mailed
at the University postoffice are not
taken to the -station until late in the
afrenoon, in time to make the 6:35 to
Porland.
Mr. Landrum suggests, however, that
correspondence sent to Portland on the
morning train will not be delivered
until the next morning, anyway, so
that it is just as safe to send it from
the postoffice in the afternoon. If sent
special, of course, it will be delivered
that night.
TEA HELD IN Y. W. C. A.
NETS MORE THAN $40j
Money Will be Used for Fund to Buy
Magazines; Event Scheduled
as Monthly Affair
More than $50 was taken in at the
“Gobbler Tea Boom” held in the Y. W.
C. A. bungalow yesterday afternoon
from 1 to 6 o’clock. The net profits,
which will be used in buying magazines
for the infirmary and the bungalow,
will come to about $40. j
The bungalow was# decorated in
leaves and flowers. Marigolds and yel
low flowers were used on the tables.
Leaves covered the mantel of the big
fireplace, and branches, with bunches,
of red berries, were placed in the win-]
dow sills.
A wee turkey gobbler, on the inside
and the outside of each menu of “Ye
Gobbler Tea Boom,” put th£ customers
in just the mood for pumpkin pie a la
mode, or a big slab of savory mince
pie. Hot fudge sundaes and sand
wiches were also ready for the “gob
blers,” and cinnamon toast and-, tea
satisfied the afternoon-tea fiends.
The Y. W. C. A. bungalow will be
turned into a tea room once a month
and the association will try to have
something especially palatable for
weary and hungry students. The pro-:
coeds of each tea will be used in
some way.
MILK AND CRACKERS TO
SUSTAIN HUNGRY GIRLS
Popularity of Woman’s Building Grows
as Refreshment Booths are Opened
at All Hours of Day
The popularity of the Woman’s build
ing is to undergo an amazing growth
now that the Women’s league has de-i
cided to serve milk and crackers to
all hungry co-eds. There will be no
more vulgar Hersliey bars such as were
served last year, but, instead, only this
appetizing, nutritious, vitamine produc
ing food will be countenanced. Mothers
at home will marvel at the transforma
tion wrought by a few short months
of College life.
Booths will be open at all hours of
the day, beginning Tuesday, November
13, and, as is always the ease with
great enterprises, there will be a price.
However, that price is only nominal—
10 cents for a large glass of cool, in
vigorating milk and numerous crisp,
crumbly crackers.
Laverna Spitzenberger has charge of
the affair and is marshalling her forces
into regular working squads for action
on Tuesday.
NEW RIDING CLASS FORMED
Organization Has 10 Members; to Meet
on Thursday and Saturday

they enjoyed most. There were many
suggestions, among them being, golf,
swimming, tennis, volley-ball, football
and horseback riding.
The last proved so popular among
the genteel numbers of the faculty,;
that a c^iss has alreacfy been organized.
Mr. Bangs, riding master, organized a
class for the faculty members in horse
back riding, and it will meet every
Thursday at 10 a. m. for two hours,
and every Saturday at 3 p. m. There
is an enrollment of 10 and it is ex
pected that many more faculty members
will join this class. •
0. N. S. CLUB PLANS MADE
Monmouth Normal Graduates to Hold
Meetings Twice a Month
Members of the O. N. S. club, which
is composed of graduates of the normal
school at Monmouth, met Wednesday
night at the Y. W. C. A. bungalow to
make plans for the coming months.
They decided to have meetings twice a
month, on alternate Wednesdays. One
meeting will be for business and at
the other the members will meet for
dinner. The first of these dinners will
be held at the Anchorage November 21.
There are about 35 on the member
