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

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

vaulting event, in which Spearow
holds the Pacific Coast and nation
al inter-collegiate record, he min

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.”

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

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.
On the first day of the term,
this program may be changed with
out charge, by either dropping or
adding a course. After the first
day, the old system will govern the
change in program, requiring the
paying of a one dollar fee for each
course added or dropped. No course
may be added after Saturday, Janu
ary 17.
Students will be held responsible
for all subjects appearing -upon
the program, and no credit will be
given for courses not on the pro
gram, even though all the work
in that course may be done.
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. In Oanada it has been pro
claimed the greatest male chorus
ever appearing there. There are 10
members making the toujr, 14
singers beside the accompanist and
the director, Thomas Morgan.
The program includes, “On the
Sea,” by Dudley Buck; “Invictus,”
oy Brune Huhn; “Man of Harlech,”
the Welsh national air; and several
numbers which the University glee
dub sings. One group will be en
tirely Christmas carols.
Tiickets will be one dollar and
itudent tickets fifty cents. They
ire on sale at the Co-op and at
leveral business houses in Eugene.
(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

With eleven hundred tickets

ticket organization on the campus
is having considerable difficulty in
disposing of pasteboards to stu
dents outside of organizations. Bill
Poulson, University chairman of
benefit drive, states, “The ticket
sales captains urge that all stu
dents outside of living organizations
that wish to aid Tiny Shields in his:
battle fpr health, get their tickets
at the College Side Inn or see Joe
Ellis or Jim Forestel.”
Portland Leads Cities
Further reports from Portland
indicate that this place is leading
every city in the state in regard to
the amount of tickets sold. Jack
Benefiel, who is in Portland at the
present time, wires that Portland
will quickly go over the top at the
rate in which they are now sub
scribing to the drive.
The Corvallis and the Hood Bivcr
chamber of commerce have both
heartily endorsed the Tiny Shields
benefit drive and have pledged to
support the drive whole-heartedly.

This afternoon and tomorrow are
the only remaining days in which
students may buy tickets on
the campus as the campaign closes
at 4 o’clock on Saturday. Both
today and tomorrow a rather exten
