GROUPS FORMED
FOR DISCUSSION
Important Aspects of Ten
Nations to be Studied
LEADERS ARE APPOINTED
Work Sponsored by World
Fellowship Committee
Ten discussion groups, each of
which will consider the most out
standing aspects of one nation, are
being organized by the World Fel
lowship committee of the local Y.
W. C. A. At a meeting at the
Anchorage last Thursday evening,
the committee under the chairman
ship of Ellen McClellan discussed
and formulated the preliminary
plans.
Group Leaders Chosen
Katherine Reade, Maxine Koon,
Frances Dodds, Genevieve Chase,
Josephine Evans, Oneita Wirtz, De
loris Pearson, Gladys Calef, Edna
Spenker and Beulah .Smith are the
girls chosen by the committee to act
as leaders of the groups. The coun
tries which are to be considered
are not the great powers but others
which are worth considering.
“We feel that people are bound
to learn of the larger countries
through the classroom, but they are
not likely to learn of these,” Miss
McClellan explained. The countries
which are to be studied by the
groups are Switzerland, Poland,
Korea, India, Mexico, Turkey, Italy,
Norway, Argentine and Australia.
Each leader during the Christmas
vacation will study the nation
which her group will consider.
The discussion groups will begin
next term and they will be open
to all campus women who may sign
up for any group at that time. They
are to meet at the Bungalow every
two weeks at which time one phase
will be presented by a girl appoint
ed by the leader. Six papers will
be presented on each nation under
the general headings of: geographi
cal conditions and natural re
sources; history and racial char
acteristics; social and industrial as
pects; polities, religion; and cul
ture, including the art,.music and
literature.
Leadership is Studied
The discussion-group committee,
whose chairman is Mildred Bato
man, consists of Dorothy Straughn,
Mildred Whitcomb, Jllazel Robin
son and Maxine Koon. Under the
guidance of the World Fellowship
committee the leaders are studying
the technique of leadership in order
to be prepared for the work next
term.
In sponsoring these discussion
groups, the World Fellowship com
mittee is attempting to arouse an
interest in the youth of Europe.
“We have in view the idea of
sending a girl with the National
World Fellowship committee to
Europe to study the young people,”.
Miss McClellan stated in regard to]
the purpose of the committee.
Meeting Set For Tonight
At the last meeting Maxine Koon
presented a paper on “World Fel
lowship.” At an early meeting of
the committee next term Marian
Barnes will read a paper on “The
Youth Movement in Germany”
all of which is preparatory work
for the discussion groups.
There will be another meeting of
the committee tonight. t Further
plans of the committee will be an
nounced.
Janni Myrra Tells of
Customs of Athletic
Training in Scandinavia
(Contunwd from page onel
except tliat they have more cheese,
and milk in their menues Instead
of moat. He trains consistently all
the year around with the exception
of two or three months in the win
ter when it is too cold for outside
work, lie has a very Birnple svs
tern of training at home for the de
velopment of his arm and body
muscles.
The Finns show great enthusiasm
over track—much more compara
tively than Americans—they con
centrate their interest in track—
particularly javelin throwing and
distance running where we divide
our interest among a half dozen dif
ferent sports. In Finland the big
thing is track. There is a nation
wide interest in it. Being very
small, the athletes all compete in one
big meet and the winners arc se
lected to compete against teams
from Germany or Sweden and bv
that way they gradually work out
to the Olympics. Sprinting and the
other track events are only recently
gaining favor in Finland and they
are showing promise along these
lines, -according to Myrra, veteran
of three Olympic games. However,
the weight events, javelin and dis
tance running, will continue tc b
the big things there for a long
time.
Myrra is a big blond giant—6
feet, 1 inch tall and weighs 185
J pounds. He is built lithe with no
j bulging muscies but with lithe
I whipcord-like muscles. A deep chest
; and slend# senewy legs help him
i to put all possible snap into his
throws.
‘He is a director in a Small bank
in Finland. He, with Jackson
Scliolz, Ralph Spearow and J. K.
Norton was invited to Japan to
give exhibitions. These four ath
letes, three of whom are Ameri
cans were chosen because of their
mastery of form in track events.
Myrna will give exhibitions in
America while he is here. Janni
is visiting with his brother in As
toria at present.
Bill Hayward received word that
he was in Portland and through
Vernon Motschenbacher, president
of the Oregon Alumni association,
arranged for Myrra to come down
for the track meet. He was enter
tained while on the campus by seve
ral Finnish students. Fred Harri
son and Arnie Kiminki acted as
interpreters.
Football Stars to Vie
In Christmas Day Game
Teams to Sell Tickets
{Continued from page one)
thusiasm and rivalry was expressed
by different members of the squads.
As a climax of the meeting, the
several team captains challenged
each other as to which squad would
sell the most tickets.
The tickets will go on sale this
afternoon, and the ca'mpaign car
ried on by the teams will last un
til Saturday. The pasteboards will
Bell for one dollar each and will
admit the purchaser to any seat
in Multnomah field. Inasmuch as
the proceeds of the game go for
a very worthy cause, it is expected
that the students will purchase at
least one ticket each regardless of
whether they intend to see tke con
test.
Rallying to the aid of the “Tiny”
Shields’ benefit drive, the Bachel
rtrdon fraternity stepped into the
lead by pledging one-hundred per
cent support, at a meeting last
night. It is expected that many of
the other fraternities will pledge
100 per Qent before tomorrow morn
ing.
An added attraction to the usual
interesting football game, will be the
return of many of Oregon’s former
grid heroes who will fight on the
field in ordor that “Tiny” Shields,
who was inured on the gridiron,
may have funds to continue his bat
tle against his lingering illness. It
will be worth much more than a
mere dollar, in tho opinion of many
sport critics, to see these in action
again, these former stellar grid
sters who used to thrill the stands
with their brilliant and spectacu
lar dash of play.

DOUGHNUT SEMI-FINAL
GAME THIS AFTERNOON
Kappa Sigma and Phi Psi
Each Touted to Win
Upsets and setups have been fea
turing the doughnut league basket
ball games at regular intervals so
far this season. If the team picked
to win happens to lose it is an
upset in the dope; but if the team
wins by a larger score than ex
pected it is classed as a setup.
The semi-final game this after
noon between Kappa Sigma and
Phi Kappa Psi will .be classed as
an upset. Both teams are doped to
win and both are confident, accord
ing to their respective coaches.
The winner of this contest will
gain the right to .ater the final
canto against Psi Kappa on Decem
ber 11. If the unexpected happens,
a prize will be awarded the winner
of the final contest.
So far the Phi Psi is showing
two wins to none lost. In their
last game they swamped the {3. A.
E.’s by th^i score of 20 to 4 and
are all hopped up to give the boys
from down the street a real fight.
Kappa Sigma won both of their
games by large scores, trouncing
the Bachelordon by a 31 to 6 score
and Oregon club 14 to 8. |
Both teams are now showing mid
season form, and promise to put up
a thrilling exhibition of charging,
dribbling, and shooting. Compara
tive scores show that both teams
are composed of experienced bas
keteers.
DR RAINEY TO HAVE
BOOKS PUBLISHED SOON
“Study of the Public School
Debt” and “History of the Com
mon School Fund” are the titles
of two books of research which Dr.
Homer P. Rainey, of the education
department, is writing. He ex
pects to Jiave them completed for
the publisher not later than next
spring.
The former is a study parallel to
that which is being made in a nuip
ber of states throughout the Coun
try. Dr. Rainey said that he hoped
to determine the exact condition of
bonded indebtedness; how it is re
lated to road and other enterprises
for which the states are bonded;
and how the indebtedness has in
creased.
The latter will include tlie de
velopment of t^e common school
fund from the time that land
grants for educational purposes
were made to states entering the
union up until the present time.
