Telegrams State New
Coach Will be in Eugene
Tomorrow or Thursday
CONTRACT MATTERS UP
Many Letters Received
from Mentor’s Friends
Recently by Virgil Earl

By Monte Byers
In the next two or thrbe days
we will have a chance to see our
new coach, “Joe” Maddock. Tele
grams received recently state that
the new football mentor will be
down to discuss contract matters
with the University officials. To
day he will be entertained by the
University alumni, at Baker, and
should be in Eugene Wednesday or
Thursday.
This trip will give us a chance
to see and get acquainted with the
new pilot, and will give him a
chance to look over the prospects
for the coming year. Undoubtedly
the new skipper will have several
conferences with football men in
«order to get better acquainted with
the situation.
Skepticsim Runs Out
The undercurrent of skepticism
which was prevalent on the campus
and in other sport circles has to a
great extent run out. The new
coach comes recommended and
highly recommended at that. Hurry
up-Yost and Walter Camp do not
waste their words. When they say
a man is good they mean it, and
not maybe.
Virgil Earl, athletic director, is
the recipient of many letters from
friends of Haddock’s, who have
played under him, who have known
him in his undergraduate days at
Michigan, and all of them speak
highly' of him.
Thomas Varley, present advisory
manager at the University of Utah,
pens a favorable letter concerning
Haddock. For twenty years they
have been friends. That’s a long
time ,and an opinion gleaned from
two score years should bear weight.
Varley played under Maddock for
three years and described him as a
high tyrpe of man in every phase
of life. Utah has tried to get Had
dock to return there during the
last two years, but was unsuccess
ful
Idaho Professor Writes
J. W. Barton, professor of psy
chology at the University of Idaho,
begins to worry about the Vandal
chances with Maddock at the helm
of Oregon football. He also played
under the new mentor for three
years and knows whereof he writes.
He writes, “ Maddock *is a man who
gets lots of work out of his men
and they give it with full pleasure
and satisfaction. He is the type of
man who can win games on the
high „plane of honor and fair deal
ing. Maddock is an object of con
cern to opposing coaches. He is
good on surprise attacks and quick
to solve the play of the enemy.
“Maddock is a fine combination
of technical ability (in shaping the
preparation of the team, or the
meni, business and social fitness
necessary to getting the full re
spect and confidence of all athletes,

Professor Kelly
Volunteers Help
With Income Tax
'Faculty members who receive in
come tax statements may at least
be saved from the harrowing ef
forts of working out*their indi
vidual taxes and filling out the
mystifying tax blank by making
appointments with Professor C. L.
Kelly, a member of the staff of the
school of business administration
who has offered the benefit of ex
pert training in such intricate prob
lems to his contemporaries.
Professor Kelly has announced
that faculty members may come to
him for assistance in filling out
their tax blanks by appointment in
the Commerce building Professor
Kelly is an expert in all such work
and conducts a number of classes
dealing with such aspects of eco
nomics as taxes and related sub
jects.
Of course in books there are
students with incomes of taxable
size but it is doubtful if anyone
on the campus is so affeeted. If
there should be such a case, how
ever, it is probable that he might
receive the benefit of Professor |
Kelly’s assistance as well as fac- 1
ulty members.

ASSEMBLY PROGRAM
Selections to Include Special
Feature Numbers
The weekly assembly Thursday,
February 14, will be turned over to
Mu Phi Epsilon for its annual as
sembly program. The entire pro
gram will be devoted to musical
features, including instrumental and
vocal selections.
The program is to include eight
numbers, which will be given en
tirely by members of the organi
zation. There will be vocal num
bers, piano selections, at flute solo,
an instrumental stringed quartet,
and a double quartet for several
vocal pieces.
Mu Phi Epsilon is a national
honorary musical fraternity for
women. The fraternity recently
celebrated the twentieth anniver
sary of its founding, being founded
at the Metropolitan College of
Music on November 13, 1903. The
University of Oregon chapter wa3
installed on the campus March 3,
'1911.
There are twenty-six active mem
bers on the campus, and Beulah
Clark is president of the organiza
tion. Outstanding musical ability
is one of the requirements of the
members of this group.
The assembly will be held in the ;
Woman's building instead of Vil
lard hall in order to accommodate j
the increased attendance that greets
the programs of this fraternity.
O. A. C. HAS REPUBLICAN
' CLUB FOR STUDENTS
A Republican riuo has been or
ganized at O. A. C., similar to the
club on the University campus. The
college policy forbids political
meetings on the campus, so the club
will cooperate with the Corvallis
Republican organization. The com
mittee is endeavoring to have
prominent speakers address their
sessions, among them being Theo
dore Roosevelt.
Mrs. B. L. Bogart Loans Rare
Textiles for Arts Display
A black silk wrap, with a gold,
silver and copper border printed on
it by a secret process—this is only
one of the rare textiles loaned by
Mrs. Bruce L. Bogart of Eugene to
the normal arts, now on display in the
little museum in the arts building.
The robe was made by a Florentine
woman who has an unusual way of
printing with metal on silk, velvet
and chiffon. A number of these
pieces were brought by Mrs. Bogart
from Florence, Italy, when she re
turned last summer from a trip
abroad. Articles of the same sort
and made by the same woman were
on display at the San Francisco ex
position in the Italian building.
With a rich purple as the predomi
nating color, a liberty scarf, made
by French manufacturers who have
large stores and their own designers
in London and Paris, is another
striking piece of the collection. There
is an example of Italian tapestry,
on which the tapestry stitch can be
seen to advantage. A modern Vene-'
tian brocade completes the Italian
display. Two Russian embroideries
show a marked Turkish influence.
Among the wood block prints,
i which are still on display on three
1 walls of the museum, western artists
■ are seen to hold their own in a re
I presentative group out of the United
States. Ambrose Patterson, art in
structor at the University of Wash

Enforcement of
‘Lights Out' Hour
Urged by Forum
Resolution Committee
is Appointed
At the last meeting of the Wo
men ’s Forum, the question of late
hours for study on the campus was
discussed. Eleven o’clock has been
set as the hour* for “lights out”
during the week, preceding school
days, and it was recommended by
the Forum that the heads of girl’s
living organizations enforce this
more rigidly, granting special per
mission for late study only when
absolutely necessary. This was
considered advisable by the Forum
because of the apparent disregard
for the ruling on the campus.
A committee was appointed bv
Georgia Benson, president of the
Forum, to draw up resolutions
passed by the organization in a
regular form to be filed in the
office of the dean of women. This
committee consists of Mary Bar
tholomew, chairman ;Virginia Pear
son, Frances Douglas, and Teka
Baynes.

to resume his duties within a few
days.
There has been wide-spread inter
est in President Campbell’s condition.
The president’s office was kept busy

PAST WEEK-END
EVENTFUL ONE
Athletic Contests Result in
Five Victories and One
Defeat for Oregon Men
NEW GUARD IS STRONG
Reed Fails to Send Team
for Swimming Meet;,
Practice Races Staged i
By Ken Cooper
Last week-end was a hectic one !
as far as the athletic phase of cam
pus life was concerned, and the:
sport lovers (and scribes) had to
snap out of the old hop to get
around to see all of the contests of j
various natures. With one pitiful j
exception, the contests all resulted :
in victories for the Lemon-Yellow.
Here, in a nut shell, aro the re
sults of the sporting events of last
week: Oregon won four basketball !
games, two freshman and two var
sity;, won the freshman wrestling
meet and lost the varsity event.
Hue to a failure of the Reed Col
lege tank team to appear, the var !
sity. and frosh teams held a practice !
meet.
It’s a delicious bit of history—
what happened last Friday night at
the Armory, when a couple of thou
sand loyal Oregon supporters saw j
their cohorts finally nose out the;
Aggies in a buttle that kept the
spectators on their feet during most
of the second period.
* # #
On the second night, a slightly
less enthusiastic crowd saw the
locals defeat the Aggies with ap
parently more, ease, and they went
away convinced that Billy Reinhart
had developed a fast-passing, close
chocking, and quick-breaking ag
gregation that will have to be
reckoned with when the confer
ence honors are passed out.
A few weeks ago we wrote a line
or two about Ted Gillenwaters, the
playing manager, and made the pre
diction that ho would “probably”
break into the lineup. We must ad
mit that, at the time, we did not
think he would much more than
break into the lineup. Since that
time, however, the stocky little
guard, who pulls the purse strings,
has more than supported our hasty
judgment and has ably filled the
place left vacant by Chapman.
Ted’s guarding work loft little to
be desired and time after time he
stopped the rushes of the curious
Aggie' formation, which calls for
all of the ingenuity a guard can
muster. The only slight flaw in
his performance of the two nights
which we were able to pick was his
tendency to be a little slow on
breaking on the offense. This is not
uncommon to players getting their
big time baptism and with a little
more experience, lie should bo one
of the strongest points in the Ore
gon defense. He is still inanagnig
the team.
BARTLET SCORES HIGH
Total of 107 Points Made in Close
of Physical Ability Tests
in the physical ability tests given
last Thursday, It. Bartlet broke the
high mark of 100 points held by H.
Dutton, by annexing 107 points.
During the fall term L. Stone was
high point man with 96 points but
this was broken in the next term by
Dutton who rolled up 100 points.
Several higher marks were made in
the intramural pentatlialon but did
not count in the physical ability
test. The high mark at the close of
last year was 116 points. Bartlet’s
records in the test were: higli jump,
l feet S inches; bar vault, 6 feet 4
inches; 2 lap run, 23 seconds; rope
climb, 11 seconds; swim, 1 minute,
44 seconds.
BABY DAUGHTER BORN

nue, Pasadena, California. Mrs.
Harding was formerly Felieia Per

Good Samaritan
is Simulated by
Faculty Member
At about 0 o clock, Saturdpv
night, two boys, young in years
and enrolled in one of the grade
schools of the city, raced swiftly
into the quiet reference room of
the library, ran over to the cir
culation desk, and while trying to
check their crying, nervously beg
ged the assistant librarians to al
low them to stay in the library
awhile.
They said that there were some
larger boys, twice their age and
size, waiting for them outside, and
if they went out they would get
a beating. .One of the librarians
strolled to the front door and saw
that the boys were right.
The library would close in an
hour; and if they were allowed to
go home alone, the older boys
would get them as they came out of
the library.
A University professor came in
with a library errand and after hav
ing the situation explained to him,
acted the part of the Good Samar
itan and took the two boys home
in his car.
DEBATERS PREPARING
FDR THURSDAY’S MEETS
Contests With Willamette
and 0. A. C. Planned
Tn preparation for tlie earning con
test with 0. A. C. and Willamette
university, Oregon’s women debaters
are hard at work on the question,
“Resolved, that France should imme
diately evacuate the Ruhr.” For the
past three weeks memhers of the
team have had daily meetings with
Gerrit T)emmink, coach, to strengthen
and improve their delivery and sub
ject matter.
Mildred Bateman and Mildred
Whitcomb comprise the Oregon af
firmative. They will meet the O. A. C.
negative in Villard hall Thursday
night, February 14. At the same
time Dorothy Abbott and Margaret
Woodson, the Oregon negative, will
go to Salem and there meet the Will
amette affirmative.
Miss Bateman and Miss Woodson
have both participated in a previous
varsity contest. They mot and de
feated the TTniversity of Washington
team «last spring on this campus,
when the question of a uniform
national divorce law yas presented.
Though they are debating on the
varsity for the first time, Miss Ab
bott and Miss Whitcomb have had con
siderable experience in forensic work,
Miss Whitcomb having been a mem
ber of the doughnut team which last
year received the women’s debate
cup, and Miss Abbott the team which
holds it this year. All four girls
are pledges of Zeta Kappa Psi, wo
men’s national honorary forensic
fraternity.
GROUP REQUIREMENTS MET
BY LOWER MATHEMATICS
Owing to some confusion about
the group requirements in mathe
matics and science, a member of the
faculty has requested that the re
minder be made that any three

meets the group requirement in
mathematics or science.

The varsity hoopsters left yester
day afternoon on the Shasta, bound
for Moscow, where they will tangle
with the Idaho quintet in their
third conference tangle of the sea
son. Thus far, Billy Reinhart’s
fast-passing aggregation has kept
its slate bright and, although the
Gem-Staters are hard to beat on
(heir own floor, the Lemon-Yellow
will bo the slight favorite in Wed
nesday night’s struggle.
Friday night, the varsity will
take on the W. S. C. Cougars in
Pullman. The next evening the
Whitman Missionaries will be met
at Walla Walla.
The seven men who accompanied
Coach Reinhart on the northern trip
are Latham, Gowans, Hobson, King,
Shafer, Gillenwaters and Jost. The
lineup that will start the Idaho
game will probably be the same
that started the Aggie games here
as this combination proved to be
the best working one out of the
available material.
Oregon Holds Lead
Just at present, Oregon’s hold on
the top rung of the conference lad
der is none too secure, but if the
Vandals are trampled on in their
own lair, the Oregonians ean breathe
a bit easier. By virtue of a pair
of defeats over the Aggies, who
trimmed the Muscovites on their
own floor, it would seem that Ore
gon ought to be able to turn the
trick, but then, dope is rather un
reliable. On the other hand, there
is one valid reason why the local
outfit might be picked to win. To
explain this, however, necessitates
the explanation of why Idaho is so
hard to beat on their own floor.
The basketball floor at the U.
of I. has a very low ceiling and is
otherwise not up to the standard
of the big courts of the other
schools, lienee any offensive that is
not based almost entirely on short
shots is practically useless. It is
for this reason that Idaho teams
of the past have been so successful
at working the ball under the bas
ket for a close shot.
Varsity Style Good
This year Oregon’s offensive is
based on the short shot with the
long shot more as a threat, although
| mighty effective at times as a means
1 of scoring. Along the same line,
j we find that the Oregon five-man
I defense, introduced by Reinhart, is
Pet.
