THE SALEIDDSTO
STUDENT FUNDS
Fourteen Delegates May
Go to ' Volunteer Meet
at Indianapolis, Indiana
TRAVELING PLANS MADE
Authorities From All Over
the World Will Gather
and Consider Problems
Yesterday’s tag sale was a suc
cess. Ed Kirtley will go to the
student volunteer convention at In
dianapolis as the official represen
tative of the student body. All re
turns from the sale had not been
received last night, but judging
from the amount on hand and the
number of students yet to report,
it is quite likely that the sum will
be approximately $160, according
to Lot Beattie, chairman of the
tag day committee.
While not all of the money has
yet been raised, it is almost cer
tain all of the fourteen delegates
will be able to go. Money to pay
the traveling expenses of Mary
Bartholomew, representing the wo
men of the University, has been
coming in rather slow. The faculty
women have responded in part, and
it is expected that many more will
send in their contributions in the
next few days. The Women’s
league has voted $30, and the
Y. W. C. A. and the women’s halls
of residence are assisting.
Money Still Needed
Others whose financial support
has not yet been fully guaranteed
are Lester Turnbaugh, president and
representative of the student vol
unteer movement on the campus,
and the three delegates from the
Methodist church. Concerts and en
tertainments are being put on by
the orchestra of the Wesley club,
the proceeds of which will go to
the Methodist delegates. With the
exception of several small amounts,
all the rest of the delegates have
their money assured.
The delegates will leave Eugene
December 24 and return January 5.
They will go to Indianapolis by spe
cial train, joining the other dele
gates of the northwest at Spokane.
The train will be made up of Pull
man coaches, diners, observation
car, and a car made especially for
meetings. The delegates will have
an organ and musical instruments of
various sorts with which to com
pose an orchestra. Thus it will be
possible to have musical programs
while on the trip to and from In
dianapolis.
Delegates Listed
The complete list of delegates
follow: Mary Bartholomew, Char
lotte Winnard, Lovisa Youngs, Ruth
Harvey, Lester Turnbaugh, Arthur
Everett, Arthur Gray, Orlando Hol
lis, Ethlyn Forrest, Edith Howe,
Mary Donaldson, Paul Krausse, Ed

Dutton Makes New
Physical Ability
Record for Year
This year's record of 96 points
in the physical ability pentath
lon, held by Lamont Stone, was
broken Thursday by Harry Dut
ton, a freshman, who annexed 100
points. This is the second time
that Dutton has taken the test,
this time to raise his final grade.
In the physical ability pentathlon
taken at the beginning of the
term Dutton earned 92 points,
and in his second trial he in
creased the number of points and
broke the record for the year.
The tes^ is not over as yet,
and this record may go by the
board % any time. Last year
Eugene Richmond scored 119
points in the all-round competi
tion and the year before Haddon
Rockhey scored 131 points, which
is still a record. Ralph Spearow
scored 136, but was disqualified
because he failed to take the swim.
A man has to compete in each of
the five events before his record
is considered.
Marks in the pentathlon this
year do not approach those of last
year, when several men went over
the 100-point mark.
FRQSH TO START HOOP
PRACTICE JANUARY 2
Varsity Basketball Men to
Use Eugene Armory
Ereshman basketball practice will
start January 2 at four o’clock, in
the men’s gym. This is the orders
of Freshman Coach Evans, who ex
pects a big turnout of first year
men at the start of the winter term.
Following the holidays, the var
sity will move down to the armory
for practice sessions and the fresh
men will have the gym from four
o ’clock on. Evans wants to have
all first year men interested in the
hoop game turn out for the first
practice.
Doughnut basketball has brought
out several good looking basketeers
in the ranks of the green cappers,
but there are others who have not
played doughnut and who will be
eligible. In the freshmen ranks are
several former high school stars who
will battle for positions on Coach
Evans’ five.
In past years the first year class
lias put out good teams. Last year
the freshmen went through the sea
son with only two defeats. A good
schedule is always arranged for the
yearlings, with a trip or so to some
part, of the state.
OLDE ENGLISH f AIR HELD
AT UNIVERSITY HIGH SCHOOL
An Olde English Fair was held
at the University high school last
night by the senior class, in order
to raise funds for its activities.
Many remarkable features were pre
sented, a program being given during
the evening and refreshments were
sold. Signs tacked up by the vari
ous doors advertised the particular
attraction to be found in each
room. A large crowd attended the
affair and a real holiday spirit pre
vailed during the entire evening.
College Girls' to Help Santa
in His Christmas Travels
The Christmas spirit has already
invaded the campus and spread the
feeling of good will and charity
among the various sorority houses.
Plans that smack of shining trees,
loads of toys, Christmas cakes and
other savory food that is symbolical
of the jolliest season of the year,
are already being made among the
girls, so that this year, as in previous
years, the children who would or
dinarily miss the joy that the holi
days bring, will not be disappointed.
Friday evening ten youngsters
will be guests for dinner and a hap
py evening at the Kappa Alpha
Theta house. Saturday afternoon
the Delta Zetas will be hostesses
to thirty children who will enjoy
games and a tree, presents and re
freshments, and fifteen lucky little
tykes will gather at the same time
at the Tri Delt house where they are
promised a visit from the good old
saint, Santa himself.
The Alpha Chi Omegas and the
Alpha Delta Pis have each chosen
Sunday evening for their entertain
ment. At the former, a group of
twelve youngsters will gather
around a tree upon which hangs a
gift for every child, and at the
latter, at tea-time, fifteen little
boys and girls will sit around the
fire-place, where Christmas stories,
presents, refreshments and a tree
will make up the evening.
Several of the houses are giving
donations for the poor to Mrs. Frank
Fay Eddy, who is in charge of col
lections. The Chi Omegas are mak
ing up a purse, and the Pi Phis
are seeing that several families are
supplied with milk.

WOMEN'S DO-NUT
GAMES NEAR END
Finals to be Played Show
Susan Campbell Hall and
Oregon Club are in Lead
THETAS WIN FAST TILT
Winning Team in Monday’s
Toss-Up Will Decide the
Championship for Season
Susan Campbell (1), will play
Oregon club for the championship of
League II as a result of the game
played last night between Susan
Campbell and Hendricks (2), which
ended with a score of 16 to 2 for
Susan Campbell. The decision as
to the participants in the final strug
gle for the supremacy of this league
had rested on the results of last
night’s game, and crowds of cheer
ing rooters filled the gym for the
occasion.
It was a good, fast game, excit
\ ing from the very start to the last
j whistle. Hendricks made the first
basket, within a minute after the
contest had startfed. It was their
their only one, however, for the.
Susan Campbell squad jumped right
into the game, amassing points and
fighting hard.
Team in Good Shape
Golda Boone, for the winners,
played a fine game in her position
as center. She was quick, and ac
curate, making several good passes.
The guarding for Susan Campbell
was well taken care of by Maude
Sehroeder, who successfully carried
the ball, time after time, out of
the opponents ’ territory. The whole
loom nroa i n ffrirul aViartP fllf.hniHfh 1
slightly weakened by the absence
of Maurine Johnston, forward.
Myrtle Bast was the star of the
Hendricks team in her position of
guard. The forwards for the losers
were weak and not up to their
usual game. The centers also were
slower than usual.
A close game was played last
night between Kappa Alpha Theta
and Chi Omega, resulting in a score
of 22 to 17 in favor of the Thetas.
It was fairly -well-matched all
through the contest, the score at
the end of the first half, standing
8 to 7 for the winners.
Corinne Hill starred for the
Thetas with well-placed basket shots.
Edna Murphy also played a good
game as center. Melba Byrom, for
ward, was the stellar player for the
losers.
Another Game Today
The contest for the lead of League
II will be played off sometime to
day between Oregon club and Susan
Campbell (1). The time has not
been definitely arranged as yet. It
is hard to prophesy as to the re
sults, for the teams seem to be pret
ty evenly matched. Susan Campbell
seems to have the edge over Ore
gon club, judginy from the scores
of each in contests with Hendricks.
The Susan Campbell—Hendricks
score stands 16 to 2, while Oregon
club beat Hendricks with only a
twopoint margin, 19 to 17. The dope
doesn’t always hold good, however,
and it is a great question who will
play Hendricks (1), the champions
of League I, in the final game next
Monday at 5 o’clock.
NEW POTTERY RECEIVED
Fund for Replacing Articles Lost
in Fire Used in Purchase
An old Persian laquer tray in dull
gold, old blue flowers, and ivory
ground is one of the pieces just
added to the normal arts pottery
collection. Its purchase was made
possible by the Mrs. George T. Ger
linger fund of over $700, the pur
pose of which is to replace the
articles lost in the fire of two
summers ago.
An odd plate of modern Danish
pottery, also just added to the col
lection, is dark blue, with green
border of conventionalized leaves,
and fruit of a rich yellow-red color.

Leap Year Brings New

“It’s always the woman that

will soon be upon us and being
presidential election year and
most important of all—leap year,
marked changes should soon be
come evident in the attitude of
the masculine element toward the
University co-ed.
He will probably assume an ela
borate indifference to feminine
charms, but all the while, go out
of his way to speak to any girl
whom he may see on the street.
Around the fraternity fireplace
on Saturday nights of next year,
elaborate excuses will be cooked
up and expounded on “Why I
am staying in tonight.”
Yea—the tables will bo turned
for all of the campus piggers and
particularly those of the class of
’25. For in order to balance things
up a bit, senior leap-week will be
the time when it is perfectly pro
per for a gentleman to call up
his lady friend, invite her out
and pay all of the bills!
DISCUSSION FORUMS

Beginning with the winter term,
each women’s living organization
on the campus will conduct a week

supervision of the religious study
department of the Y. W. C. A.,
headed by Ruth Sensenich.
Each organization will send in
throe names of faculty members it
would like to have lead its dis
cussion, and from the three, one will
ibe selected for each group. The
faculty member thus chosen will
conduct a meeting once a week for
the entire six weeks given over to
the discussions.
Another work similar in nature
to these groups is also being con

Edwards, representing the Oregon
Life Insurance company, who went
about the business of selling the
policy with all the ease of a veteran.
He spread his chart showing length
of life, lavP of averages, before his
prospect and explained to her the
advantage of taking out an insur
ance policy to provide for the edu
cation of her children in event of
her disability to do so personally.
A few questions when he had finish
ed his talk and a few concise ans
wers in the experienced and con
fidential tone of voice which he
had used throughout the interview

prize.
Professor C. L. Kelley, of the de
partment of insurance and account
ing of the school of business ad
ministration, presided at the meet
ing. In his introductory talk he ex
plained that the contest was for

Christmas Joys
Coining in Next
Scandal Sheet
While the notion of abolishing
various campus institutions lasts
on the campus, it has been sug
gested from several sources that
doing away with the scandal
sheet—that frank and sonsation
al organ of the faculty—would
meet with approval from the
masses, that is, the student body.
However, no such move has been
contemplated, according to Uni
versity officials, who announce
that this most influential pub
lication on the campus will ap
pear shortly after Christmas.
Nothing need be said of the
contents except that a surprise is
undoubtedly in storo for many of
the anxious readers. The nature
of this is customarily not divulged
before the appearance of the bul
letin and so the weary student is
advised to spend as merry a
Christmas as possible and wait
patiently for the arrival of the
dreaded document at the paternal
office.
SHORT STORY CLASSES
TO PUBLISH MAGAZINE
Edison Marshall Contest
Stories to Appear
A publication, unlike any that has
ever been produced on this campus,
is to be undertaken at the first of
the year. The short story writing
classes are to publish, under the
direction of W. F. G. Timelier, a
o2-page magazine, much like “Old
Oregon” in size and form. This
undertaking will be supported by
“Pot and Quill” and “Ye Tabard
Inn” of Sigma Upsilon, the two
writing organizations.
j.uu jMu.yuz.iiu; win contain me
winner of the Edison Marshall con
test and from seven to nine other
stories at the head of the contest
lists.
“We have for a long time felt
the need for some sort of outlet for
the activities in authorship,” said
Mr. Thacher, “especially for the
short story development on the
campus. This year, in view of the
fact that there are nearly 100 stu
dents in the classos, it seems safe
enough to undertake the publica
tion of at least one number of this
magazine. It will contain as many
short stories as there is room for.
There is no financial backing of the
magazine and no one will make any
money on it. Wo will pay for it
by the sale of about a thousand
copies at twenty-five cents each.”
“If it is successful,” Mr. Thacl^sr
went on, “there is no reason to
believe that it can not grow to a
regular edition, a college publica
tion of a more general character.”
The Edison Marshall contest will
open at the beginning of the year
and will close February first. A
prize of $50 will be awarded to
the winner. Formerly there were
two prizes of smaller amounts, but
Mr. Marshall wishes to make one
prize, as a bigger incentive to con
testants. He hopes to add another
prize next year in addition to the
$50 prize.
The contest is open to anyono
enrolled in the University. Rules
will be announced at the first of
the year. It will take about two
months for the judges to decide
upon “the winner and the publica
tion may be expected about May
first.
PUBLICATIONS COMMITTEE
TO MEET AT 10:00 TODAY
This morning at 10:00 o’clock the
University publications committee
will meet to consider bids for the
Oregana contract. Bids have been
sent in from six different companies,
Koke-Tiffanv company, Eugene;
Statesman Publishing company, of
Salem; Enterprise Publishing com
pany, of Oregon City; and James
Kearns Abbott, Kilham Stationery
and Diriun and Son, of Portland.
The cost of the completed Oregana
runs about $7,500. Last year the
contract was given to the Oregon
City house, while Koke-Tiffany, the
local house, handled, it for several
years previous.

Phi Gamma Delta fought their
way to the championship yesterday
afternoon by winning a sensational
game from the Betas, 20 to 10. The
contest was fast with the Fiji*
maintaining a safe lead except at
one point, when the Betas, in a
spectacular comeback scrapped their
way to within 4 points of the fleet
ing victors.
The game opened with both teams
going at top speed and for the first
two or three minutes it was nip
and tuck, with neither side being
able to sepre consistently. When
Flynn, the lanky Fiji center, looped
a basket it started the Fijis on a
spurt which ended with them on
the long end of a 13 to 5 score at
the end of the first period.
Betas Try Desperately
The Betas made desperate trys to
come back at the start of the sec
ond half and with some spectacular
floor work by Westergren, stellar
forward, worked the ball down to
where Callaway and Gunther scored
and put the Betas just four points
behind the leaders. Then happened
one of those breaks, which more or
less decides games. Gunther, the
Beta center, broke loose under the
hoop and shot what should have
been a sure goal, however the ball
seemed undecided as to whether
it should roll inside or outside,
and finally rolled off, leaving the
Fijis in the lead. The Betas never
dangerously threatened the lead of
the Fijis from that time on, al
though they kept scrapping to the
end.
The big three of the Fiji offense,
Flynn, Chiles and Brown, were too
mueh for the Beta defense and the
threo passed, dribbled and worked
their way through the Beta cheek
for the necessary points to put the
gamo on ice. Goodell showed np
good for the Fijis as running guard
and caged five points. Schmeer
checked well and saved several

RIFLE MATCHES END
IN R. 0. T. C. CONTESTS
Cup Winners and Scores for Series
Will Be Announced After
Target Checkover
Doughnut rifle matches were con
cluded yesterday afternoon at the
B. O. T. C. barracks, but names of
the winners of the cups and the
scores for the series will not be an
nounced until this afternoon. Cap
tain J. T. Murray, officer in charge
of firing, said in an interview yes
terday afternoon, that the delay in
publication of the scores and win
ners is necessary because the targets
of the various contestants must he
accurately checked to eliminate all
possibility of mistake in the rat
ings of the teams.
Interest in the contests has been
falling off somewhat since first prac
tice began some weeks ago. The
lack of enthusiasm during the week
of final shooting is due mostly to
the close proximity of exams. The
students who placed high in the
doughnut matches will be eligible
and are nrged to try out for the
University teams, which will have
several contests after the first of
the year.
