TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1924 « NUMBER 94 k — 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 V 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, (Continued on page three) 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. 1 PH! EPSILON PUNS 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 ington. has a number of tree studies, (Continued on page three) annual BANQUET TUBE BIG AFFAIR Editors and Publishers Who Come to Conference to be Guests at Osburn Event STUDENTS ARE INVITED Outside Speakers Listed; Visiting Delegates on Program for Addresses Wit and humor, home-grown and imported, will be served with the rest of the menu at the banquet to be given the editors and publishers of Oregon Friday evening as a feature of the sixth annual Oregon Newspaper conference.

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. PRESIDENT CAMPBELL SUFFERS FLU ATTACK Campus Executive ^Expects to Resume Duties Soon* President P. L. Campbell, who was reported yesterday morning to bo seriously ill with appendicitis, is con fined to his home with a slight at tack of intestinal influenza, accord ing to the latest reports of the presi dent’s condition. Dr. It. O. Coffey of Portland who was called to Eu gene to attend the president diag nosed the case, as such. Sunday night the president was taken with abdominal pains and it has feared that these might be from appendicitis. Dr. Coffey was called in order to prepare for any emer gency. He has kept the president under observation and reports that his condition is not serious. The at tack of intestinal influenza is not of a serious character, and it is ex pected that the president will be able 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 all day yesterday answering queries as to the president’s health. The Emerald was al&o called for similar information. Tt was reported that the president asked to be allowed to get up yes terday but that through the advice of his physician he was not permitted to. RECITAL WILL BE GIVEN Theodore Walstrum to Make First Public Appearance Theodore Walstrum, of the school of music faculty, will make his first public appearance on the cam pus in a piano recital to be given in Alumni hall, Monday evening, February 18.

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 TO FORMER STUDENT News has been received on the , eampus of the arrival of a baby daughter, born to Mr. and Mrs. Paul Harding of 98 North Chester ave nue, Pasadena, California. Mrs. Harding was formerly Felieia Per kins. She graduated from the TJni versitv in January, ’23, and is a i member of Pi Beta Phi sorority and i Mortar Boat'd. 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 terms of lower division mathematics meets the group requirement in mathematics or science. PLEDGING ANNOUNCEMENT Sigrua Pi Tau announces the pledging of Ector Bossatti of Port land.

I Coast Basketball Standings Northern Section W. L. j Oregon . 2 0 | Oregon Aggies ..3 2 | W. 8. C. 3 2 j Washington . 2 2 | Idaho . 2 2 | Montana . 0 4 I <>-———— 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. 1.000 .600 .600 .500 .500 .000 (Continued on page three) Proceeds from “Dime Crawl" to Swell Scholarship Fund “A dime a crawl Admits you to the brawl.” Which means, gentle reader, that tlie masculine element of the Univer sity will be at liberty to spend the time from 0:45 to 7:30 of Wednesday evening at any of the women’s houses of residence which happens to suit his fancy—providing he pays the necessary ontrqpce fee of one dime.
