OREGON CLUB DEFEATS HENDRICKS HALL TEAM Second League Game Fast; Thetas are Victorious By far the fastest, most interest ing game played so far this season in the women’s basketball series was played last night between Ore gon club and Hendricks hall (2), resulting in a 19 to 17 victory for Oregon club. The contest was close at every point and crowds of in terested spectators filled the gym with excited rooting. Both teams showed their best playing on the floor last night, with speedy passing and accurate shots features of the game on both sides. For the winners, the Overmire sisters, as centers, did star playing. The Quinlan twins, forwards for Oregon club, stood out for their ex cellent teamwork. Mildred Onslow, forward, was the stellar player for the losers. Up to this game, Hendricks (2), had been the only undefeated team in league B. Susan Campbell (1), Hendricks and Oregon club now stand at the top, each having suf fered one defeat. The choice of the two teams which will play for the championship of their league, rests upon the results of the game to be played between Hendricks and Susan Campbell, Friday afternoon, i Hendricks (1), in League A, is so far the only undefeated squad in its group. Kappa Alpha Theta beat Delta \ Delta Delta in the other game played last night, with a score of . 12 to 6. It was a well-played game, and fairly well-matched. The out. ^ come appeared to be a toss-up all I through the game, until the Theta forwards raised the score by sev eral accurate shots. Edna Murphy, center; Corinne j Hill and Margaret Spencer, for wards, were the stars for the win ners. Josephine Ulrich, center, and Alberta McMonies, guard, played . their positions well, on the Tri Delt ; team. NO STEP ARE TAKEN TO REPLACE COACH (Continued from page one) j going to get the best coach in the j United States. Did they? It is safe to say they never saw any | of those thousands. These big I alumni funds are fairy gold. They ! look all right in the moonshine, but j they pay no bills. Alumni Coiltrol Undesirable But if the alumni should raise, j not ten thousand only, but ten thou ! sand a year, and if the ethics of I amateur sport permitted us to pay I an extravagant salary to the foot ball coach, twice what any dean gets, or maybe twice what the presi dent gets, still it is worth thinking about that any coach at Oregon must be hired and controlled by the University and student body. If a group of Portland alumni raised the money and paid his salary, the coach would not be under the control of the University and student body. It is not worth it. The control of athletics at Oregon must rest in hands responsible to the state, and cannot be turned over to anyone else. Penn State Wealthy And lastly, Bezdek does not wish to come back. He himself says it is not worth further consideration. Penn State handles so much more money that they not only pay him more than we could or would, but that they could advance his pay as much as would be necessary to keep him. He has a freer hand there than here. And lastly, he can play Harvard every year, he can play in Philadelphia and in New York city, and he can read his name in the metropolitan papers every week. To use his favorite phrase, “When you’re in the big leagues, who wants to go back to the bush leagues?” PATRICIA BYRNE, SENIOR, WITHDRAWS FROM QUARTER Patricia Novlan Byrne, senior in I dramatic art, has withdrawn from school for the quarter, due to an attack of typhoid fever from which she is convalescing. Mrs. Bryne, who is known on the campus both for her literary and dramatic work, will probably return to school at the beginning of the winter term.

QUINTET League “B” Game Results in Score of 24 to 20 The A. T. O.’$ copped a fast and roughly played contest from the S. A. E. quintet last evening in the league *‘B” elimination, 24 to 20. The game was exceptionally close, being tied a number of times both in the first and last periods. The score was tied at 20 all with two minutes to play when the win. ners, with a sudden spurt, looped two goals and cinched the game. The passing and shooting on both sides was good and the ball was worked down fast into position to score. Both sides roughed it up considerably, especially in the sec ond period, when the closeness of the play caused it to be very hotly contested. Carson caged a total of 14 points for the winners and played an exceptional floor game. Harri son and Farley each chalked up eight markers for the losers and were aided considerably by the passing and floor work of King. This win places the A. T. O. five in a position to play the Kappa Delta Phi team today for the cham. pionship of league “B.” Both teams are undefeated and are capable of putting up a fast brand of ball, which insures the championship bat tle to be a hotly contested one. The A. T. O.’s have Carson, their lightning forward as the main cog in their offense, with Schroeder, his team-mate, a consistent player. Car ter, the big center, and Gillen waters and Mays, the guards, fill out a very evenly balanced aggrega tion and one which will be found hprd to beat. >The Kappa Delta Phis have some fast men in Tetz and Anderson, for wards; Martin, center, and Hermunz and Saari, guards. The squad hasn’t played many sensational games of late and hasn’t been in the limelight, but it is scrappy and may surprise the fans by annexing a victory from the strong A. T. O. aggregation. This is the last game in league :“B” and with the "Big Tilt” to morrow between the Betas and Fijis will act as a grand windup for the ! donouglit basketball season this | year. MU PHI EPSILON GIVES BENEFIT BRIDGE TEA Two Music Scholarships Maintained Every Year by Members of Honorary Group About forty dollars was made at the bridge tea given last Friday by the pledges of Mu Phi Epsilon for their two scholarships. This is the third year that the sorority has maintained the two music scholar ships, one for an upperclassman, and one for an underelassman. Bernice Yeo, who is taking piano lessons from Mr. Evans, is holder of the upperclassman scholarship this year, and Mary Burton, who is studying violin with Mr, Underwood, is holder of the other. Tlie fund amounts to about $180 to be used for lessons in either piano, violin, or voice. The money has been made through donations, silver teas, various programs, and j concerts given out of town. At the tea last week there were! 18 tables of bridge and two of| Mah.Jong. A short program was given by several of the pledges. The patronesses, Mrs. P. L. Camp bell, and Mrs. W. F. Jewett, poured.
