W. Benefiel, grad uate manager of the University of Oregon. Two home games, one with Idaho on October 10, and the other with O. A. C. on November 14 are arranged. The other games are with California, October 24, at Portland, Stan ford, October 31, at Palo Alto, and the University of Washing ton at Seattle November 21 or Thanksgiving day.

CHLORINE GAS IS USED FOR TREATING COLDS New Machine is Installed By Health Service About twelve colds were treated at the dispemary yesterday by the chlorine method which has just been installed and was used for the first time yesterday. Since Presi dent Coolidge was successfully treated by this method the chlorine cure has become most popular in this country and records show that it has been very successful. The chlorine gas is generated by the usual formula in a large glass container and is emitted through a small tube. The amount of the gas given off can be regulated so that it does not become too strong for the safety of the patient. The room in which the treat ments are given at the dispensary is practically air tight, the window being tightly closed and the key hole in the door being stopped up. There are six chairs in the room so that six patients can be treated at one time. Yesterday the patients amused themselves during the hour of con finement by conversation, reading magazines, writing letters and studying. Several seemed to be dubious as to the likelihood of the gas effecting a cure. Dr. Hoes has seen the treatment used and has studied its record and has confid ence in its success. The University infirmary will re main open during the Christmas va cation for those who wish to be treated during that time and for the convenience of those few who will -remain on the dampiia, ac cording to Dr. Boss. WASHINGTON PILES UP HIGHEST AVERAGE SCORE IN GRID GAMES (By D. Me. O.) A different way of figuring one team’s strength in comparison to other coast conference teams is very interesting and produces some unexpected results. Of course some of the conference teams had- harder schedules than others, but on the whole they were somewhere near equal. Some coaches do not believe in running up large scores on small schools. They give their second and third stringers a chance to show what they can do in competition. No doubt some very good material has been uncovered by coaches doing this very thing. Other coaches be lieve in playing their regular squad so as to give them the experience, and to further develop team work and coordination of plays which are essential to a winning team. This of course has its effect on the scores which are about to be given. During the past season Washing ton in 8 games piled up a total of 276 points to her opponents’ 24. This gives her an average of 30.6 points to her opponents’ 3, which leaves her a net average of 27.6 per game. Stanford in 8 games scored 199 points to her opponents’ 68, leaving her an average per game of 34.7 to her opponents’ 8.5. This leaves a net average of 26.2 points per game, placing her second. U. S. C. comes third with a total of 266 points to her opponents’ 37 in nine games played. This gives her an average of 29.5 per game to her opponents’ 4.1, leaving a net average of 25.4 per game. California comes fourth with a net of 10.2 per game and Montana close behind with a net of 10. Mon tana’s high average was chiefly due to her defeat of Montana Mines, 106-0. She did not win a single j coast conference game and only won one Northwest conference ] game. Idaho follows Montana with a1 net of 8.9 points. Oregon with 1.2 points noses out W. S. C., who can only scare up an average of 1.1 points. O. A. C. sits in the cellar, having only scored a total of 71 points to her opponents’ 85 in 8 games played. This gives their i n SPEMI TELLS OF TRIPJH J«P1 International Sports Are Bonds Between Nations, Says Assembly Speaker VALUE NOW RECOGNIZED ! Individual Participation By j Students in Athletics Held of Great Benefit “In athletic competitions all na tions meet on an , equal footing, which serves to promote interna tional friendship,” said Ralph Spearow, speaker at the assembly yesterday, whose topic was “The International Significance of Ath letics.” Spearow, an Oregon gradu ate of ’23, who just recently re turned from a tour of Japan upon the invitation of the Japanese government, has had an opportunity to view the subject from several different angles. . Athletics among nations, Mr. Spearow said, started as most great undertakings do, in a small way. International athletic competition is the outcome of an ideal. That ideal is on the road to realization, since modern spirit has emanci pated it from the half-hearted state it was in several years ago and has dedicated.it to the nations, he con tinued. The world nations have ! recognized the value of such meets as the Olympic games and are striv ing to put them on a solid basis and insure their continuance. As Oregon’s representative to the Olympic games in the pole vaulting event, in which Spearow holds the Pacific Coast and nation al inter-collegiate record, he min gled with the athletes from the (Continued on Page Four) EUGENE BODY VOTES TO SECURE STATUES The Eugene chamber of commerce at a meeting held Thursday noon, passed a resolution, inviting and urging Dr. Henry Waldo Coe, of Portland, to place his statues of George Washington and Joan of Arc on the campus of the Univer sity of Oregon. Dr. Coe had recently offered the statues to the city of Portland, but as opposition had arisen to the ef forts to provide bases for the sta tues, he is said to be planning to take them to Seattle. The resolution of the loeal cham ber of commerce was introduced by Paul R. Kelty, editor of the Eu gene Guard and passed by the body. Mr. Kelty has been named chair man of the committee to act on the matter. A telegram was sent to Dr. Coe stating that the Eugene chamber of commerce feTt that the statues should not be taken out of the state of Oregon and that the University campus offered a num ber of beautiful and appropriate Bettings for the pieces. The telegram was signed by Carl G. Washburn, president pro-tem; Paul R. Kelty and John B. Bell, members of the committee. W. K. Newell was appointed to confer with Dr. Coe Saturday.

PRAISED BY DEAN Dr. George Rebec Delivers Talk to Phi Beta Kappa On ‘American Culture’ AMERICA NEEDS ART Middle Class Shapes Art; Material Advancement Goal Asserts Speaker America’s middlo-class Puritan heritage and Saxton racjial strain have been sources of great national strength, Dean George Rebec said in the fall Phi Beta Kappa address it the Anchorage last night, but an extreme and unthinkable accentua tion of the traits and traditions growing out pf this inheritance tvould in the end prove a weakness. He warned against the danger of such over-accentuation. America seeds a more general recognition of the value of . eager and active intel lectual inter-play, the development if the reflective life, and the growth of an art. Dean Rebec’s address, the sub ject of which was “American Cul ture,” followed the initiation 'of seven students and one faculty member into Alpha chapter of the national scholastic fraternity. The ceremony was held in Alumni hall, the Woman’s building. Dean Re bec spoke at the Phi Beta Kappa banquet. American ideals and preoccupa tions are of Saxon rather than Mediterranean origin, the speaker began. Despite the heavy immigra tion from southern Europe, the bulk of those who came to America have been from “the north lands.” “The central attribute of the (Continued on Page Four) KAPPA SIGMA WINS j FINAL HOOP CONTEST basketeers won the final game of the doughnut league by defeating the strong Psi Kappa team by an 18 to 16 score yesterday afternoon. Playing one of the most spectacular and thrilling games of the season these two teams furnished the large number of fans with a brand of ball that kept them sitting on the edge of their seats throughout. (Starting the second half with the score tied at 8 all, the boys from Kappa Big started in with a rush and ran their total of points up to quite a commanding lead, only to have ^Jhe Psi Kappa’s put added zest into their attack and run their side of the score up to within 2 points of this lead when the whistle of Joe Ellis, timekeeper, terminated the game. Thomas Powers, running guard of the Kappa Sigma attack, and “Battling” Nelson, forward and threat man of the Psi Kappa’s were tied for high point honors of the garfie. Each connected with the basket for a total of 9 counters, rhese two outstanding men of the loughnut series played opposite 3ach other all through the contest ind both scored 2 field goals and converted 5 foul throws. Eberhardt, tall, rangy center, of the Kappa Sig’s, showed up well with his ability to break up the formation of the Psi Kappa’s when ;hey started passing the ball down he floor. Besides getting the tip >ff at center consistently he con certed 2 field throws and one foul. Hallaway, forward and running nate of the “Battler’s” aided in keeping the Psi Kappa’s within itriking distance throughout the fame with his brilliant floor work md foul shooting. He scored one j 'ield goal and dropped in 3 foul j hrows, tying Eberhardt for third j dace in scoring honors. The lineup of both teams were: <appa Sigma (18) Psi Kappa (16) furner (2) F.

L. NEW TEAM WILL OPEN Information Cards Must Be Filed First Day Tho opening day of the winter term has been set for January 5, and, in order to 'assure that the University “opens” on that date, each student will be required to file an information card at the regis trar’s office on Monday. The pen alty for non-compliance in this matter, will be a one dollar fine for the first day, and each succeed ing day, until tho card is filed. Cards,'which must be filed in per son, are to be obtained on the first floor of the administration build ing, and taken to the registrar’s window. Upon receipt of the card, each student will receive a copy of his study' program for the winter term, as it is on file in the office.

WILL SING IN EUGENE -s— The Rhondda Welsh chorus from Wales, Great Britain, will 'be in Eugene, on December 20 and will sing at the Central Presbyterian church at 8:45. The chorus is a well known one and took the inter national glee club prize at Pitts burg at the international contest held there about four years ago, the same year in which John B. Seifert, of the University school of music, received first prize as tenor. The chorus has been making a tour and has every where met with success.

(iEW PATH SAVES STEPS TO OLD JOURNALISM SHACK A new path, branching from the nain thoroughfare to the journal sm building, has been made to the ‘baby shack” by the University vorkmen. Kelly on presenting the gifts said that this award of pencil “might be considered as a gift from, the in surance company each student rep resented.” Judged on Approach Each student represented some prominent insurance company of North America. The pseudo-sales men were judged on the three points of approach, ' presentation and closing. They were graded on the percentage basis of fifty per cent as a minimum and ninety per cent as a maximum. The selling attacks were varied as each student guagcd his prospect. Facts, figures, good defense and shifting argument characterized these earnest sal3smen. Ivan D. Houston represented the Aetna Life Insurance company and based his argument for a 20 year endowment policy on the fact that his proposi tion was a good investment. Arguments are Given Charles Murrey offered a policy from the Fidelity Life Insurance company and his argument com bined fact with the fraternal ap peal of carrying insurance that on maturity could be used for the edu cation of his prospect’s son. Myron Shannon also used the fraternal and educational appeal in selling for the Equitable Life In surance company. Eston B. Humphrey represented the Sun Life Insurance company of Canada. The atmosphere of the business office was maintained through the reluctant concession of the .pros pect. The man of affairs was wil ling to be convinced but refused to yield until thoroughly convinced. Several of the salesmen had to talk half an hour to land the man they were interviewing. Portland Men Visitors Several of the insurance men from Portland happened to be in town and witnessed the contests. They made brief complimentary comments upon the speakers. There were many different at tacks tried. The salesmen varied their talks with indirect introduc tions, factual appeal mingled with sentiment and the appeal of pro tection. Shrewd and subtle flat tery brought around some of the wavering prospects. Eight of the sales insurance stu dents gave their talks' Wednesday night. The other eight competed last night. Those who took part were Gordon Wilson, E. B. Humph rey, M. Austin, B. W. Frankson, P. B. Irelan, Wanda Plinez, S. S. Selak, C. T. Murrey, D. W. Scar brough, H. E. Kidwell, Jeanette Dentler, Ivan D.
