T. C. and the Next War Two years ago certain persons and factions on the Oregon campus made a strong assault on the justification for reten tion of the Jteserve Officers’ Training Corps. If these forces were on the campus today, they might find themselves forced to retrench. For today the corps iias been popularized more than at any time since the signing of the armistice, and the developments of international affairs have hushed the objec tors and served to prove the existence of the military depart ment. Various students enrolled in advanced military Courses, when asked if they believed they were wasting their time, re plied emphatically in the negative, and stated they did not in tend to be left in the lurch when the next war was declared. They intended to take advantage, so they said, of the oppor tunities afforded now, So as to be prepared for any trend of affairs. The next war! There are many students of history and public affairs who support the foreboding of a future inter national imbroglio. The economic terms upon which thfe last struggle was settled have not been satisfactory. France looms as a military force. Fven in England there has been a lingering transfer of sentiment from pro-French to pro-German. For some Englishmen cite the French and Belgian occupation of the liuhr as one contributing cause of the destruction of her foreign export markets and of the accompanying unemployment situation. Futhermore, German militarism is not dead. Certain en thusiasts in Germany are calling upon the patriotic element to steel its muscles against the coming war of vengeance. And General 1 lasso, commanding troops in Thuringia has said: “When the fates again lead the German nation to Versailles, we must appear not as on the' latest occasion, but as our fathers and forefathers did. If is tor us, the heirs of the traditions of the best army of the world, to see that our German empire out li ms the shameful peace.’’ How characteristic are these words we can only guess. But even such statements coming from a militarist indicate that the embers ol war are not yet ashes, and that certain sentiment is breathing into them the glow of activity. There either will be or will not be another war. Who can say for sure/ 'I hose who will take no chances avail themselves of the military training offered at the present,. Perhaps they are wiser than those optimists who believe that the advent of the league of nations and the world court has solved all world difficult ies. Thirteen Days— Lucky or Unlucky? Thirteen school days arc all that stand between the 1*175 Oregon students now on the campus and winter term examina tions. A short period of the scholastic round, and then that dire week which never loses its terrors for many campus citi zens. From a fellow journalist we have received the following, on the approaching day of reckoning: “Lent, observed by many Christians, comes at this time of year. Lent is the time above and beyond all others when the individual is called upon to take a spiritual accounting. Many believe that a voluntary abandonment of some of the frivolities of every-day life during the forty days preceding Faster is condneive to a better taking of the spiritual inventory. “May we not borrow somewhat from the religious life to aid the student? Two weeks before 'exams’ is set aside by the administration as a time when activities and social affairs shall be reduced to a minimum and the garnered time devoted to additional scholastic demands. “Yet two or three weeks is not too soon to start ‘training’ physically for examinations. Approximately more regular hours, less sweets and starches, a few less cigarettes—and one stands a ten to one better chance of going over the blue-book top with a bang! “Increasingly the statement is heard on the campus, ‘No, I never cram for exams any more. The day before I take a hike or loaf, and sometimes go to a ‘movie’ iff the evening. I feel lots better and get higher grades as a result.’ “Ralph Waldo Emerson says of the Oxford system: ‘The logical English train a scholar as they train an engineer * * * The reading men are kept, by hard walking, hard riding and measured eating and drinking, at the top of their condition, and two days before the examination, do not work, but lounge, ride, or run. to be fresh on the college doomsday.’ ” <•>-<> !

WINNERS TO BE DECIDED Champion Basketeers nay lor cup. Trophy Will he Awarded The championship game of the women's basketball series will be played between the senior first team ami the freshmen, team 1, Thursday afternoon at 5 o'clock. The team winning this game will come into possession of the basket ball cup awarded annually for the champion class team. The trophy was presented in ISM l by Bill Hay ward, and has been awarded Id times. For the last two years, the graduating class has held it. The game Thursday will be an exciting one, for the teams are evenly matched. When they met once before, a few weeks ago, the fresh defeated the seniors bv a narrow margin. This will probably be the very best game of the women's basketball series, and all are invited. Get the Claesifled Ad habit. Sport Chatter by MONTE BYERS By Monte Byers What looks good about the wrest ling situation is tha.t four men have won letters so far this season, Whit comb, Robertson, Ford and Wells be ing the lucky athletes. Wrestling is one of the hardest sports there is in which to win a letter. A man must take his match to win an award. AYhere Oregon has four men this sea son with letters, in the three preced ing seasons it had only one, Wegner. The varsity men are becoming more aggressive than they were at the start of the season, and we may hope for a better fighting team than that which faced the experienced Aggie matmen some time ago. • « * Johnny Beckett, greatest tackle ever developed at Oregon, may lead the Mare Island Marine football ma chine next fall. Johnny is now sta tioned at Quantico, but may be trans fered to this side soon. Local sport followers will remember Johnny for his great defensive work and long kicking. He was also strong on run ning the ball from a fake punt for mation, and made consistent yardage whenever the ball was in his pos session. The former Oregon star has been with the Marine corps since 1917. In the fall of that year he helped the Mare Island team humble his Alma Mater in Portland. Hugo Bezdek was coaching Oregon at that time, with Bill Steers playing in the back fieid. The tango of the Argentine and Louis Fiipo may become back numbers if one young athlete continues to perform at his present rate. Georges Ilackborli is surprising the natives of South America by his track and field antics. He is vaulting over 12 feet, and recently did 12 feet one inch from a muddy takeoff. He does the century in 11 seconds, which is excellent timq for a jumper, whose muscles are trained for work of a different nature. Tn the high jump lie is lie coring close to the six foot level, and will no doubt continue to improve. Finlanders say they are going to cop the honors from the United States in the next Olympics. We advise them to look over the rest of the entries from the western hemisphere and then talk shop.

Fuzzy left for the south the other day to start working out for the P. 0. baseball season. With one sea son’s experience behind him, the little portsider ought to win quite a num-1 ber of games for the Tigers. The Oregon mound staff is going to be slightly weak this season and Carson would have been a welcome addition. Whitman is starting baseball prac tice already, despite inclement weather. Nig Borleske is handling the dia mond artists at the Missionary school and he believes in getting an early start. Some of the Oregon men plan to work out in the near future. With coaches appointed, everything is ready for a fairly good year in baseball. Reinhart has a veteran nucleus to build around and some good looking material from last year’s freshman team to fill in the weak spots. Athletics are being hit rather hard at Syracuse this year. Some of the big guns of the eastern institution have been dismissed from school and others have been placed on probation, because of low scholastic standing. Nearly every sport has suffered, and still the faculty shows n(^ signs of letting up.

The eternal conflict through out between the pair provides a maxi mum of laughter which continues during the entire play to a surpris ing climax. “A Big Reward” is a crook story, given international flavor not only by the Dutch accent garnishing the English of Kolb and Dill, but also by the fact that an internationally famous portarit is being sought by numerous detectives. Kolb and Dill find themselves in hilarious dilemmas during the untangling of the mystery. REX Three in a row—and all big hits. Tiiat’s the way Paramount turns out Zane Grey stories. Right on the heels of “To the Last Man” and “Tho CaLl of the Canyon,” comes “ The Heritage of the Desert,” featuring Bebe Daniels, Ernest Torrence, Noah Beery and Lloyd Hughes. It’s down at the Kex theater. Everyone read the story and everyone will want to see the picture which we believe to be even greater than the novel itself—if such a thing is possible. The final showings of “The Heri tage of the Desert,” at the Rex, will be held there today. The pro logue featuring Johanna James oc curs at 7:30 and 9:25 tonight. * PLEDGING ANNOUNCEMENT Kappa Delta Phi announces the pledging of Henry Maier, of The Dalles, Oregon. m§LEYS ■ After Every Meal It’s the longest-lasting :onfection you can buy -and it's a help to di gestion and a cleanser lor the mouth and teeth. | Wrlgley’s means I benefit as well as i pleasure. r -f Say it wttfi/lowers All Kinds of Choice Spring Flowers We are now specializing in fansy corsages—our new stock enables us to give you the best.
