ALUMNI WRITE LETTERS Former Staff Members and Others Comment on Emerald Letters from former staff mem bers and other friends of the Em erald are received almost daily in the editor’s office, says Art Rudd. Word from John Dierdorff, a for mer staff worker who is now work ing on the Weslej’an College Gift campaign in Macon, Georgia, and from Phil Brogan, last year’s managing editor of the Emerald and a member of the Bend Bulletin staff, arrived yesterday. Brogan’s interest in the paper was shown by the fact that he turned in several news “tips.” He difl not say whether hje wished to enroll in the contest, but asked if he could get in on the Emerald banquet “by correspondence.” An attempt will be made to wire him some “chicken and fixin’s,” it is said. Comments on the Emerald often come in from those who have not been interested directly in the paper's career previously. H. Sher man Mitchell, editor of the Fern dale (Washington) Record and for mer editor of the University of Washington Daily, recently charac terized the Emerald as “very good.” CONVENTION OF CANADA COLLEGE MEN CANCELLED Word was received Tuesday by the Emerald that the convention of college men, which had been planned for February 29 to March 1 of this year, to be held at McGill University, Montreal. Canada, has been cancelled on account of un certainty of ample attendance. o o Tenor to Appear in Concert Here | O Arthur Johnson Varsity Loses to Idaho, 30 to 24 UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, MOSCOW, Idaho, Feb. 13.— (Spe cial to The Emerald)—Oregon took its first conference defeat of the season last night when the Vandals lowered the Lemon-Yel low banner to the tuna of 30 tc 2-1, The game was hard fought, but the Idaho combination proved too much for the Oregonians. According to the standing, as figured by the Vandals, Oregon now reposes in second place, with the Gem Staters at the top of the heap. It is a question of which of the Idaho-Washington State games count toward the conference standings and. offi cially, Oregon is still at the top of the conference. Swift Contest Ends With Score of 37 to 21 Fans of women’s class basketball had a great surprise last night when the freshmen first team defeated the seniors, team 1, 37 to 21, in a fast, furious game. It was one of the swiftest contests played so far this year, and the work of both teams was very good. The seniors were worn out from the very first, and it was not long befoe the frosli were going strong. All through the first half, the score was close, standing IS to 15 in favor of the underclassmen when the whistle blew. They quickly took tlie lead, however, after play was resumed and ran away with the score. Much or the success or the frosh was due to the good work done by the centers, Margaret Papoon and May Fan Vurpillet. Genevievei Spear and C'orrine Hills, forwards for the winners, played with good passing. The Quinlan twins for the seniors played their usual star game, in pass ing and shooting baskets. Three more days of this week will be devoted to class basketball and several of the games are expected to be fast and exciting. Since no games are to be played with O. A. C. this year, this is really the only opportun ity for those who are interested to see girls ’ basketball at its best. The teams are in the best of shape now after months of practice on the parts of all the members, and Miss j Warterman, coach, urges that all in 'terested turn out for the last of these class contests. The schedule for the rest of the week is as follows: Thursday, February 14: Juniors, 1, vs. Juniors, 2. Freshmen. 2, vs. Sophomores, 2. Friday, February 15: Sophomores, 1, vs. Freshmen, 1. Juniors, 2, vs. Freshmen, 3. Saturday, February 16, at 2 o ’clock: Seniors, 1, vs. Juniors, 1.

DANCES NET OVER $80 Student Co-operation Pleases; Others to he Planned Approximately $80 was made by the women’s houses last night at the first of the “Dime Crawls” staged by women’s league. Jeanne Gay, chairman of the affair, asks that the money be turned over to her today in order to ascertain the exact sum. “The success of the affair is J largely a result of the splendid co operation shown by all of the houses,” says Miss Gay, “as well as the ‘pep committee’ of men who helped so well in putting over the plans.” “The reception accorded this new form of student body dance, en courages the committee to attempt further ventures along this line,” she continues, “and we will perhaps stage one each month in the future, if plans work out.” DIRECTOR TO BE GUEST Miss Mary Mahony to Attend Tea Given by Phi Theta Kappa Miss Mary Mahony, educational director at Meier and Frank’s, will be on the campus Tuesday as a guest of honor of Phi Theta Kappa, women’s national honorary commer cial fraternity, and will be present ! at the tea in the Woman’s building given by the fraternity for the i women delegates and wives of mem bers at the retail merchants’ con vention and short course, which is to be held on the campus.

Six feet of congeniality that bears out all of the favorable comment that has been heaped on his head since bis appointment as football coach at Oregon. No, not Joseph H. Maddock, .iust, Joe Maddock. MENTOI) FETED IT PENDLETON Director of University’s Gridiron Destiny Makes Favorable Impression ROUND-UP CITY WON By Ep Hoyt (Former Emerald Sport Editor) Pendleton, Oregon, Feb. 13. (Spe cial to the Emerald)—Joe Maddock, new director of* Oregon’s destiny on the gridiron mado a strong impression on the thirty odd alumni that gath ered at the instigation of “Coach” .John Murray, who was instrumental in getting the now grid mentor to stop over here for a few brief hours last night between trains. When .Toe Maddock had finished outlining the policies that he intend ed to follow and the methods that ho intended to pursue there was not a man in the room that was not thor oughly sold on the “Maddock as coach” idea. Not a man but that be lieved but that .Toe Maddock, with a splendid record behind him, is the man to again bring days of football glory to Oregon. It will be ‘hurry on for Oregon’ now” was the remark of Fred Reu nion, county agent and former Mon tana state and University of Utah mentor, who played three years for Utah under the tutelage of Maddock and whom Maddock characterized as one of the greatest all around stars with whom he had ever worked. And it will be “hurry on for Oregon” be cause Maddock is a master of tho best in the “Hurry Up” Yost and he’ll develop a fast team. Incidentally Bennion worked on one of his teams that didn’t consider 17 plays a min ute too many. Fred Bennion who was intimately associated with football for years as player and coach says Maddock is a better coach on his individual merits than Rtagg, Yost or Warner. “Every man that plays under his,” said Ben nion, “is 100 percent for him. He’s got a wonderful personality and the knack of keying up a team before a game to the highest pitch. His tac tics in football are the hardest to Solve in that he uses no set forma tions but the team snaps into form and the ball snaps back.” Bess expert opinion among the alumni of Pendleton indicated that every man who met him believed him to be one that would produce results. A man and a coach, and one who will have the backing of the Pendleton alumni to the limit. MICHIGAN JUNIORS WEAR BLUE CORDUROY JACKETS UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN— Junior engineers at the University of Michigan wear as their distinc tive dress blue corduroy jacket, with leather lining sleeves. Much could bo written about the pleasurable sensation of his hearty handshake, his calm, imperturbable manner of speech, his keen interest in Oregon’s football prospects. Bather than to go on at length con cerning our impressions of the big fellow who comes to Oregon for the first time, wo would sooner that vou would go to assembly today and see him for yourself when he will be officially introduced to the students by Virgil Earl, upon whose recommendation ho was appointed. Campur Not Seen Yet The stock questions of the inter viewer were useless with few ex ceptions, as Haddock had not yet seen the campus nor had he met the fellows with whom he will have ° work. This is his first visit to ie state, and he expressed himself as being thoroughly pleased with Tst impressions. His recep tions by the alumni in the parts of tie state he has visited enrouto have pleased the new mentor very inuch, and ho was enthusiastic' in his nraise of the promised alumni sup ,,Concerning his of football, fact thVrC°n,vittai hCyUnd the ct that lt was Yost football.

Gridsters to Meet At four o’clock this afternoon, < oach Maddock will hold a meeting of all men who have been out for football or who intend to go out. This meeting will be held in Room 1 °5, Commerce building, and Mad dock particularly stressed the fact that he wanted all men who had any intentions of going out for the grid sport to be present at the meeting.
