AGGIES HIDE

Beavers, Despite Loss ol
“Mush” Hjelte are Rated
Strong in Conference
VARSITY IS PREPARED

Game in Armory Tonighl

r
The Aggies, with one of the most
powerful quintets in their basket
ball history, invade the local cita
del tonight with the expectation
of lowering the Webfoot colors on
the conference flagstaff a notch
or so. Despite the loss of “Mush”
Hjelte, towering center, the Beav
ers are a strong outfit.
Local fans will have the chance
of seeing one of the cleverest of
basketball teams in action when the
Aggies and varsity take the floor.
The invaders are well along in their
conference schedule, while the var
sity has made but one start in the
flag race. Comparative scores with
the Washington Huskies give the
Aggies an edge on points. They
defeated the Huskies in a last per
iod rally 33-26, while the varsity
romped on the Seattle squad 29-28
in a seesaw fracas which was in
doubt until the last whistle.
Team Has Stars
The Beavers have two clever
guns in Gill and Hidings. These
men are consistent floor '-workers
and locate the basket with accur
acy. Hjelte’s loss hasn’t affected
the Corvallis quintet much. Hose
Lyman is fitting into the breach
nicely. He is big and is deliver
ing the goods right along.
Steele is another veteran of last
year who will be on deck to stop
the local five. The Aggies have
been specializing on clever floor
work and they will undoubtedly
spring a new offensive in the two
game series.
Oregon will probably start the
game with the same team which
lined up against the Huskies. Hob
son’s eye is coming along nicely
and he will be in shape for the go.
If he isn’t, King is ready for the
whistle. He relieved Hobson in
nice style, Monday, and although
he failed to garner any baskets,
he played a beautiful floor game
and was instrumental in making
several points possible.
Chapman’s Absence Felt
The loss of Chapman is a severe
blow to the Webfoot team. In the
face of this misfortune, however,
Oregon can be thankful that there
are two men showing considerable
of conference competition against
water received their first real taste
of cnferenee competition against!
the Seattle aggregation, and both
looked good. Either man has an
even chance of starting the game
as a running mate to Shafer.
Gowans and Lathain complete the
personnel of the team, and a great
deal rests upon the shoulders of
these two players. Hunk has a
big man to take care of in Lyman,
have been appearing at guard for
teresting. Eilertson and Stoddard
have been appearaing at guard for
the invaders, and they will probab
ly get into action tonight. Kol
kanna is another strong candidate

Early Blossoms
Adorn Courtyard
of Art Building
Making a bright splash of
color against the more sombre
background, a little brilliant yel
low shrub has come into blossom
in the courtyard of the art build
ing.
The flower is on the order of a
Scotch Broom, but according to
H. M. Fisher, superintendent of
grounds, no leaves appear until
the blossoms have fallen. The
shrub is out unusually early, and
Mr. Fisher fears for its safety
when colder weather comes.
Around the walls of the build
ing, the honeysuckle vine is be
ginning to put out fresh green
leaves, and Virginia creeper and
Dorothy* Perkins climbers give
promise of the lovely place the
courtyard will be when spring
comes.

“Dainty Damsels” Caper
Between Halves of Game
Groups of glittering, sylphlike dan
gers, in spangles and tights, eccen
tric- prima donnas, talented poseurs,
and an orchestra of super-soloists
imported from the Ziegfield Follies
■will contribute to the entertainment
of the howling mob between halves
of the Oregon-O. A. C. game at the
armory tonight.
This is all to tell you that the
Order of the “O” will initiate into
its august body men who have in
the last year won their letters in
football,'track, baseball, and tennis.
“From the time that the gun an
nounces the end of the first half of
the game, and Announcer Bob Mautz
ealls his motley crew onto the floor,
until the varsity basketball team
again appears, there will not be a
dull moment,” stated Vie Risley,
chairman of the initiation committee.
Although the exact nature of the
stunts has not been divulged by the
committee, it is assured that they
will be unusual and entertaining.
The feature act of the evening will
be a series of lifelike poses by some
of the most talented of the initiates.
This act will be divided into three
groups, entitled, “The Marathon,”
“Spring,” and “The Fall.” Just
who the participants in this act are
to be could not be learned, but the
crowd is assured that the act will
undoubtedly be so well taken that it
will immediately be signed for the

Sigma Chi won the intramural pen
tathlon last night for the third con
secutive time, with a score of 453
points. Palmer, McCabe, Ringle and
Young composed the winning team,
and they are the same four that
annexed the title last year. The
Delta Tau Delta team made up of
Alvin Hills, Price, Rutherford and
Stimpson was the runner-up with 421
points. Phi Kappa Psi took third
with 378 points.
Three of the standing pentathlon
records have been broken during the
meet. Don Woodward boosted the
fecord for the bar vault by clearing
the bar at a height of six feet ten
inches. Alvin Hills set a new record
in the rope climb at 8.2 seconds, low
ering the former mark by some four
fifths of a second. The third re
cord was shattered by Hermance who
turned in the exceptional time of 22
and one fifth seconds in the 200
yard race around the indoor track.
The meet under the direction of
Hank Foster was run off smooth^
and all the entering teams were
handled as they showed up. As a
result all of the men were put through
the different events and the scores
tabulated by shortly after 9 o’clock
last evening.
The pentathlon was an exception
ally good one this year and the av
erage scores turned in were much
higher than ever before. Some very
good scores wer turned in by several
of the contestants and a total of ele
ven men finished within the charmed
circle by scoring over TOO points.
The finishing of the pentathlon
leaves the doughnut series in hand
ball, swimming, and wrestling to be
contested by the various organiza
tions during the remainder of the
winter quarter.

ABILITY TO SEE AHEAD MAKES
WILSON OUTSTANDING FIGURE
POINTS OUT DEAN H. D. SHELDON
The ability* of Woodrow Wilson to
look ahead and connect up the pre
sent with the future, together with
the sacrifices he made for the cause
of internationalism, clearly makes
America’s war president oue of the
outstanding figures of this age, H.
T>. Sheldon, dean of the school of
education, told the students gathered
to hear his biographical sketch and
critical review of Woodrow Wilson,
given at the assembly in the Woman’s
building yesterday morning.
“Wilson was willing to fight, for
his ideas,” the Dean declared, “and
he knew what he wanted and why
he wanted it.” Tn the two years of
his administration preceding the out
break of the World war he succeeded
in getting more measures through
i -
congress in the form that he wanted
them than any other executive in re
cent years.
Wilson’s first appearance as a
personage of national importance was
made when he became president of
Princeton university. Tn this capa
city he broke up all of the exclusive
clubs on the campus of the most con
servative American university and
established democracy there. At
length pressure from the alumni,
who held the purse strings for the
institution, compelled Wilson to re- i
sign as president of the university.!
Because Wilson had a thorough
going political philosophy, he was I
made governor of New .Tersey. As
a. state executive he transformed an

KLAN CONTROL DENIED
Indiana University To Correct
Erroneous Popular Belief
SOUTH BEND, TND. — Early in
the fifty-first year of its life, Val
pariso university, situated in Val
paraiso, one of northern Indiana’s
beautiful cities, is taking steps to
correct the misinformation sent out

taken over by the Ku Klux Klan.
A committee composed of former
students, the membership of which
is country-wide, is being organized
to carry this into effect. On its sta

After being closeted less than an hour last night, the exe
cutive council was unanimous in its choice of Joseph H. Had
dock, ex-assistant coach at the University of Michigan to take
the helm of the Oregon football machine, left vacant since the
first of last December by the resignation of Shy Huntington.
It was decided to give Haddock a contract according to the
proposition made through Mr. Earl. Nothing will be given
out as to the terms of the contract until all of the details are
worked out, which will be after Maddock’s visit here in the
near future.
CHECKING OF POINTS
DESIRED BY LEAGUE
Women Must Comply With
Activities System
With the coming of house elections,
the activities committee of the Wo
men’s league, of which Mary Jane
Dustin is chairman, is urging pros
pective presidents and managers of
living organizations to check up care
fully on their activities before ac
cepting office.
A system of points worked out by
Women's league for the women on
the campus allows 10 points as the
maximum number to be carried by
any one individual. It is the aim of
the system to divide work, and dis
tribute it more evenly, giving a great
er number of women an opportunity
to participate in campus activities.
Houses are urged to check up on
members and induce them to refuse
to serve on committees until they
have dropped other activities if their
points are above maximum.
The following points are listed by
the executive council of the student
body and Women’s league: head of
house, fi points; house manager, 3
points; secretary of student body, 9
points; president Women’s league, 9
points; editor of Oregana, 10 points;
and Oregana staff members, 2 points;
president of Young Women’s Chris
| tian association, 6 points; cabinet of
ficers, 2 points; president of honor
ary societies, 2 points; chairman of
Junior Week-end committee, 4 points;
j members of committees, 2 points;
executive positions on the Emerald,
fi points; Emerald members 2 points;
W. A. A. president, 0 points; other
members, 2 points.
Women’s living organizations are
requested to turn in a list of the
activities of their members to Mary
Jane Dustin, Lucile Douglas, or Wave
Anderson, so records may bo checked
and adjustments made.
SOPHOMORE AND SENIOR
WOMEN WILL PLAY TODAY
The game between the sophomore
I first team and the senior first team
in the women’s interclass basket
ball contests scheduled for five
o’clock this afternoon is the first
; of the big games this year. All
the public is invited to at/tend.
This is the first time in several
j years that men have been allowed
to see these games. The other big
game in women’s basketball sched
uled for this week is the one Sat
, urdav at two o ’clock between the
: first teams of the juniors and fresh
1 men.
The selection was made upon the
recommendation of Virgil Karl, di
rector of athletes, and the athletic
committee of the executive council,
after he had examined the qualifica
tions of some twenty two applicants
on his recent tour. Although Mad
dock is a player of the old school,
playing at Michigan in 1904, he is
a coach of modern football as shown
by his experience as assistant to
Fielding H. Yost, at tho University
of Michigan, during the season of
’20 and *21.
Assistant at Michigan
During tho six year period from
1906 to 1912, Maddock was director
of athletics and physical education
at the University of Utah. In this
period he had charge of all four of
the major sports at that institution
and turned out championship teams.
Going back to his alma mater in the
fall of 1920, Maddock served as
first assistant to “Hurry Up” Yost,
remaining there in that capacity
throughout the 1921 season.
Upon leaving Michigan, he located
in Idaho Falls, where he became in
terested in a chain of mercantile
stores in Idaho. He did not, how
ever, give up his football work as he
coached the Idaho Falls high school
team during tho seasons of 1922 and
T923, giving his sorvices gratuitously.
Under the guidance of Maddoek, the
Idaho Falls eleven took tho inter
scholastic title of Tdaho one year.
He also had an enviable record as
a basketball coach at the Tdaho prep
school.
Record is Good
Concerning the new coach’s abil
ity, both as an athlete and a coach,
Yost told Director Karl, “Maddock
is one of the greatest tackles that
I have ever known, I consider him an
excellent football coach with fine
enthusiasm and personality.”
“Maddock has a mighty fine re
cord and personality,” said Karl to
the executive council last night. “I
recommend him unhesitatingly. He
is a man with lots of drive and pow
er. He stands about six feet and
weighs about 215 pounds. I am sure
he will prove to be a successful
coach.”
Maddock’s collegiate athletic car
ter was at Albion college (Michigan)
at which institution he was a mem
I ber of the football, track, baseball,
and wrestling teams. He won the
intercollegiate championship in
wrestling for two years in the
Michigan intercollegiate athletic
association which included seven
colleges. He was half back on the
| Albion football team.
Council Has Confidence
Entering the University of Michi
gan in 1902, he was a member of
the championship football and track
teams of that year, and he retained
his title of intercollegiate wrestling
champion of the state. As a foot
ball man, he was without a peer,
