Blask and White Terror Spreads Destruction Over University Campus (Continued from oage one) way to conquer the menace was to fight it with is own weapons. Acting on this resolution, the en tire cnmpus wns inoculated with "word study.” and the result was to successful that the civilized world was astounded. In fact, this dlac-overy has gone down into the annals of history as one of the most overwhelming victories of modern science. The fear that had so long hung like a black pall over the campus was dispelled, and once more Old Oregon was blithe and happy in the golden sunlight of spring term. Fearlessly did the students expose themselves to the menace, and es caped, protected by the Great Course, unscathed, where other poor wretches fell victims to the scourge. Oregon’s Representatives Tell of Oratorical Convention at Berkeley (Continued front poqe one) California was very pleasant. Everywhere they were treated with hospitality, both at Berkeley, where they spent a few klays, and at Stanford, where the contest was held. At Berkeley, Abramson was givon the use of the big Univer-1 aity auditorium and speeches were worked out on the various phases of the main topic of discusiion at the contest. The subject finally allotted to Abramson was, “Tho power of the supreme court to over rule acts of congress.” The public speaking faculty of the University of California entertained the Ore gon representatives during their stay there. “We were entertained at Palo Alto by the representatives of the associated students,” said Mr. Brown. “The various dormitories gave luncheons and dinners in honor of the visitors and we were also entertained at the new Stu dent Union building.” Dr. David Starr Jordon, former president of Stanford, spoke at a banquet given for the speakers and faculty .representatives. His topic was the early forms of pub lic speaking and in his speech he outlined the method by which the old coaches used to instruct their pupils in the mechanical methods of speaking.” Several changes were made in the public speaking organization this year, said Brown. The name was changed to the Pacific Coast Forensics League and a new method of judging contests was adopted. After this, five judges will decide on the winners of the meet and it was decided that none of these should be faculty members. It was proposed at the meeting to hold an oratorical contest some time in. April or May, to decide the Pacific coast ehampion in oratory. A loving cup will be awarded to the school that wins this meet. Officers elected at the conference are: President, Professor A. Nichols, Southern California; vice president, Professor M. Daggy, Washington State college; secre tary and treasurer, Professor Earl Wells, Oregon Agricultural college.

KAPPA SIGMA QUINTET WINS SEMI-FINAL GAME Victors Will Play Psi Kappa For Doughnut Title Kappa Sigma’s, fast quintet of basketeers stopped the pennant rush of the Phi Kappa Psi’s yester day afternoon by a 20 to 13 win. This was one of the fastest and most exciting of any igame yet played. Starting with a field goal by “Swede” Nelson of Phi Psi’s in the first few minutes of play and ending with a long shot by Powers of the Kappa Sig’s, the game was one of clever checking, passing and shooting throughout. Thomas Powers, forward, was the outstanding man of the game with his clever dribbling and shooting ability. He also garnered a total of 10 points. Eberhardt, rangy center, and Turner, forward, aided considerably in the victory. Don McCormack, forward, was easily the class of the Phi Psi’s at tack but was held to 7 points by the speedy Powers. Nelson, guard, and Hallin, fast center, played a good defensive game besides loop ing the ball for a few points. With’ the victory the Kappa Sigma’s have earned the right to tangle with the equally fast team from Psi Kappa in the final game of the doughnut league, to be play ed next Thursday afternoon. The class shown by these two teams in their last few games proves that they are the best in the league.
