Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. EUGENE. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 9. 1924 NUMBER 92 In His Seven Years at Utah Maddock Has Wins in 53 of 57 Games on Gridiron OTHER SPORTS COACHED Style of Playing Called the ‘Hurry’ Habit Comes from Yost of Michigan By Ken Cooper Now that the coach is all picked, the campus dopsters are wondering what sort of a record our new men tor has hung up for himself during the time he has been acting as coach to the various institutions since he left Michigan in 1904. Since the announcement of Mad dock’s election Thursday night more dope has come to our attention •eopcerning the coaching record of the man who holds the reins of Ore gon ’s football destiny in his hands. It has developed that while Mad lock was at the helm of the Uni versity of Utah’s athletic steam. roller ho hung up an imposing list of victories and a surprisingly small number of defeats. Track Score Perfect Here’s the dope. During seven years of coaching at the Utah insti tution, Utah played 57 games of football, winning 53, and losing but four. He coached basketball for six years and his court teams played a total of 60 games, winning 58 and losing two. In the same six years, he put out baseball nines that played 48 games, out of which they lost four and won 44. In track, Utah never lost a meet dur ing his six-year satv. At that institution, Maddoek was the whole show as far as the coaching staff went, as he had no assitants in any sport and it is pointed out that he had to develop the majority of his men from green material. Paper Clipping Quoted A clipping from the Salt Lake Herald, October 17, 1907, proclaims Maddoek as the Yost of the West, and is voluminous in its praise of the man who comes to Oregon in the spring. “Everybody has a habit of some sort,” says the Herald, “and Mad dock has the hurry habit. It wins football games .... and comes from Michigan, . where Yost has copyrighted it for his exclusive | use on eastern gridirons. Maddoek j borrowed it from Yost and that is why Utah now holds the inter mountain championship in football.” Taken all in all, Maddoek has a record of which no coach should be ashamed. MICHIGAN HAS LARGEST DELEGATION AT MEETING University of Michigan—Michigan with ninety-six delegates had the largest representation of all the uni versities at the world student volun teer convention at Indianapolis House Averages to be Announced After Two Weeks Two weeks more, or perhaps a longer time than that* stili separate the campus from the knowledge of “Who’s Who” in the matter of houle averages. For some time the registrar’s office has been working to get the list ready to give to the vari ous living organizations, but has been interrupted through cheek ing to see how many students are registered in the University this term. House averages are listed each term to inform the organizations as to the relative standings of the houses in grades. Each living organization is supplied with a copy of the averages by the regis trar’s office. This copy also gives the average of each mem ber of the organization. HEED SWIMMERS Ft TO APPEAR FOR MEET Varsity and Frosh Teams Have Substitute Tilt Owing to the fact that Reed col lege failed to appear for its sched uled match with the frosh swim ming team, the tilt was held be tween the varsity and* the first year men. Displaying more confi dence and drive than formerly, the freshmen angled the varsity into a tie meet, both squads rolling up 34 counters apieee. Leading tlfrough out the match, the freshmen lost the contest when they failed to take the relay, thereby ending the tilt in a tie. The contest was ex citing due to the close score, but also mediocre, as no exceptional time was registered. The mainstay of the freshmen aggregation was Lombard, who placed first in three events, mak ing a total of 15 points. Stone of the frosh squad was second in the contest, winning two firsts, with a total of 10 points. The varsity tied the match by capturing the majority of second and third places, Sinclair being the only varsity swimmer winning an event, outside of the relay. With a little more finish applied to the frosh squad by Coach Parks, they should be able to sail through their aquatic schedule without any upsets. Due to the fact that several of the frosh “dash” men were out of condition, the burden of scoring was placed upon the shoulders of only several of the squad. The summary of the winners of first places and time recorded is as follows: 40-vard dash, Lom bard, 34 4-5; 80-yard back stroke, Lombard, 1:08 4-5; 60-yard breaststroke, Sinclair, 59 3-5; 80 yard dash, Lombard, 53 4-5; div ing, Stone; 180-yard dash, Lombard, 2:18 3-5; plunge, Alderman, 55 feet, 6 inches; relay, varsity. ELECTION ANNOUNCEMENT Sigma Pi Tau announces the election to membership of Ivan R. Taylor, of Portland. Hunchback of Notre Dame Has Impressive Background By Margaret Morrison Whether exulting with fiendish glee over the downfall!, of some tyrant, submitting with savage pas siveness to the lashes of the leather thongs upon his own de formed body, or weeping with genu ine grief over the trials of another Lon Chaney) Quasimodo in “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” presents to the public the most miraculous characterization that it has ever been our pleasure to see. For a background, there is a re plica of the famous Notre Dame cathedral, constructed with meti culous care for details and result ing in an almost perfect reproduc tion of the structure and its sur roundings. Since, it is said, the French government prohibited pro ducers from photographing the cathedral for use in the picture, the likeness which was attained is all the more marvelous. During the first few scenes of the play one instinctively draws away from the gruesomeness of the Hunchback. The twisted face, with one eye entirely obliterated, the stooped and horribly deformed body; but Chaney expresses so perfectly, in these deformities, every emotion that one soon forgets the horror and remembers only the perfect characterization. And, despite the twisted body, Quasimodo has a soul, for he is quick to see the sufferings of others and to alleviate them, even to the cost of his own life which he gives to deliver Esmeralda into the arms of her lover. The part of Esmeralda, the child from the gypsy camp, is notably well portrayed by Patsy Ruth Mil ler, as is also the part of Clopin, foster father of Esmeralda. The play as a whole is convincing proof that the motoin picture art is not steadily declining, as some critics are leading us to imagine, but that achievement along this line is mounting to an artistic perfection 'which cannot be denied. BETTER ENGLISH PLAN APPPOVEB Special Courses Offered University Students in Support of Major Work FACULTY FAVORS AIM : Frequent Criticism from Outsiders Is One Factor In Shaping New Policy The English department of the University is busy this year per fecting what is probably one of the most comprehensive programs in written and spoken English ever adopted in any school in the Uni ted States. This program, fostered by Dean Dyment and other deans and prominent department heads, has been instituted in response to the frequent criticism from out siders that colleges are turning out men and women who do not know how to speak and write their own language, who are, in fact,, to all appearances, pflaetiea.l|y illiterate. Under the new plan every student ' in the University must take at I least one year of written English, or written and spoken English, in addition to English A, which all entering freshman who fail to pass the entrance examination must take without credit. Law Majors have Course In accordance with this plan the English department offers a vari j etv of courses. Many of these are | specially designed to meet the par ticular needs of majors in the var | ions departments and schools. The policy of these in charge of the work is to offer courses in whieh students may learn with facility along lines of their own special interest. Two unusual courses are pre-le gal English and written and spo ken English. Pre-legal English is a course designed for law majors in response to a need felt to be | present in the training of law men. No man, says Dean Hale, has great er need for correct and effective English than the lawyer. This course includes training in writing and speaking, the student using material as far as possible from the field of law. Written and spo ken English is a course given in answer to the demand of the school of business administration and the department of economics. It has proved very successful in drilling men who are intending to enter the business world in ' the use of practical speaking and writing. One of the interesting courses the English department offers is report writing. This is designed for ma jors in various departments who wish to receive training in their own particular fields. This course offers perhaps the greatest variety in subject-matter of any course in the department. The students write reports, reviews, arguments, ! sketches and reactions on a wide ! range of subjects. Master of Style Studied In elements of style, another course of interest, a study is made of the masters of style, such as j Conrad and W. II. Hudson, with ! the idea of trying to catch some i of their tricks without copying 1 them. Sketches, short stories, es i says; all of these are written by ! class. The students choose that form of writing which especially j appeals to them. Several of them j are seeing their work published. | A feature of the class work last term was writing “Mirrors of the ; Oregon Campus.” Two courses in playwriting are j j offered this year, elementary and advanced, and exceptionally good work is being done in both. It is 1 the intention of the department | that the best plays be bound to gether sometime in a volume of i “Oregon Plays.” In addition to these courses there is a new sec tion in short story under Professor i Thacher scheduled this year to supplement the two other courses already offered. There are a number of other courses in written and spoken Eng- | lish with which the campus is j familiar. Seniors Should Fill Out Cards to Get Degrees Action Urged in Order to Secure Diplomas The registrar V office reports that there are a number of per sons who expect to get degrees in June who have not filled out applications for degree cards. Every one who expects to get a degree from the University must fill out one of these cards before a diploma can be given. This applies to those who expect a master’s degree, ns well as to seniors. (The nedessfitv or filling ou^t such a card is to give the regis trar ’s office a knowledge of how many diplomas to order. Last year there were several who had failed to do so—the result being that at Commencement there were no diplomas for these persons. Every one who has not yet filled out an application for de gree card is urged to do so at once so that the order for diplo mas can be plaeed at once. Seniors who expect to graduate were supposed to have done this last spring term.

GRADUATE PASSES TEST Virgil De Lap Takes Certified Public Accountant Examination Virgil De Lap, ’22, graduate of the school of business administra tion, recently passed the certified public. accountants’ examination given by the American 'institute of accountants, according to word re ceived at Dean E. C. Robbin’s of fice. DeDap is now doing account ing work in Portland. The certified accountant exami nation is similar to the state bar association and medical examina tions, and is one that all acount ants must pass before using the title of certified public accountant. The examination is a very diffi cult one to pass and there are al ways many more failures than pass ing grades. DANCING CLUB FORMED House Mothers and Townspeople Organize Group Some of the house mothers on the campus and interested townspeople have formed a dancing club which is being taught by Mrs. Lettic Mowrey, head resident of Kappa Kappa Gamma. The club met for the first time last Friday evening at the Tau Nu house, and plans to meet every Friday hereafter at the various houses. OREGON BE A TS AGGIE QUINTET FRESHMEN ININ ROOK TILT 2H5 Yearlings Show Up Strong in Second Half; Snappy Passing Marks Contest AGGIE FIVE IS STRONG The Oregon freshmen took the! O. A. C. rooks into camp in a fast and furious basketball game yester day . afternoon, 25 to 15. The fresh men came back strong in the second half and fairly swept the visiting aggregation off their feet. They en tered the last period with a three point handicap, and with a grand old testimony of Oregon fight emerged the victors by a ten point margin. Tt was a good game, and one that furnished the fans with a new thrill every minute. It was replete with snappy passes, sensational dribbling, close checking and all the other ele ments necessary to make a game closely contested and hard-fought Both sides missed a number of seem ingly sure shots, and the frosh es pecially shot time after time only to have the ball roll around the hoop, and off again Frosh Forward Stars Westergren, the scrappy little for ward for the frosh went into the game in the second period with a bad foot that had kept him on crut ches for the past week, and by some excellent floor work started the year lings on a rampage from which they were never headed again. Chiles was the high point man for the freshmen With 8 points. The entire team woke up in the second half and played some real basketball. Tt checked well and worked the ball down fast. The Kooks had an excellent team, of that there is no question. They hand one of the neatest passing ag gregations for a freshman team that has been seen here for some time, and mixed their passs up with some pretty dribbling. Hartung and Bhlcom showed up especially well for the Aggies, and were consistent floor men. Line-ups Given The freshmen and Kooks will tan gle again today at 2:30 in the men’s gymnasium. From all indications it will be one of the hotost freshman contests yet played. For there is no doubt of the fact that both possess strong aggregations and will fight it out to the final whistle. Thb line-up was: Freshman 25 Rooks 15 Westerman 2 .F. 5 Ward Chiles 8 .F. 1 Hartung Flynn 3 .C. 3 Balcom Reinhart 5 .G. 2 Fvans Kiminki 0 .G. 3 Banks Substitutions: Rooks; Graap (1) for Fvans; Freshman, Okerberg (1) for Westergren, Westergren (6) for Chiles.

Seniors Win in Women’s Class Basketball Tilt Tho seniors, team 1, defeated the sophomores, team 1, in the first bit; game of the class basketball series by a score of 31 to 13 yes terday. It was a fast, exciting game and was one of the best that ! has been played on the Woman’s j gymnasium floor this year. The seniors were fast and sure, playing with their usual display of team work. The forwards for the sophomores, Mildred Onslow and Betty Alexander, did some pretty basket shooting. This afternoon, at 2 o’clock, the juniors, team 1, will meet the freshman first team and this game will decide who shall compete with the seniors for the class basket ball championship. Brom various contests in which both squads have participated, this promises to be a well-matched game. I EXTRA PLAY PLANNED BY DRAMATIC PEOPLE! i ‘The Two Virtues,’ Comedy Chosen for Showing Tlu> dramatic department will produce an extra play, not included in tlie original plans nr this term soon, Mr. Reddie, head of the de partment, announced. Fustro’s “The Two Virtues” is the play chosen. The date of its perform ance has not yet been definitely decided upon. This will not inter fere with the regular schedule. “ ‘The Two Virtues’ is not a problem play,” said, Mr. Reddie, “rather it is a play of manners.” The scene is set in London, the time is the present. It. is a witty comedy, with especially delightful characterizations. The cast is small, Hu/ /<
