hVARD FAIRBANKS [ Fortner Oregon Sculptor Writes From Yale TWO REGIONS COMPARED Tribute is Paid to West And Opportunities That jthfc/people of the are expecting rjnich In the production of art f rofnj the j ingles of the west, is the medsfire of Avard Fairbanks, Oregon sciilp ;or, who. is now at the Yale school' < # fine arts, to the stu dents (if tjho UilivferMty of Oregon. “The people of the east have a deep interest in the Pacific coast,” he said in a . message, recently re ceived, by the fine arts department of "the university. Mr. Fairbanks, who was instruc tor in seplptnre at Oregon last year, and who has |d'one jieveral pieces that have w-on national rec ognition, stated that during bis r";esent eastern trip the''has niet several famous artists and that he is planning articles for publication | dealing with these artists. Two Sections Compared The east has the wealth and the art patrons, but behind it alt there' seems to be a lack of that genuine western feeling that wo all are privileged to partake of. Money can never buy that spirit of the west,” said Mr Fairbanks in com paring the two sections of the country. He senses an opportunity for the artists of the western part of the United States to create a great and lasting art now that the attention and the sympathies of the country as a whole are centered on the west. Superior intellectual and spirit ual products, as well as superior physical products, should bfc tho gift of the wost to the world, in the opinion of Mr, Fairbanks. It is in the power of this section of the country to produce a genius and an art form that would bo an active and potent influence fcjr improve ment throughout the country. . Credit Given West “Let us fulfill the expectations of tho west,” he! said, “and not only let the west give to the world .u^erior products for physical sus tenance, but let us give an intel lectual product that will mean a spiritual development throughout the whole land.” Credit is given by Mr. Fairbanks to the people of the west for the opportunities they have granted him for contact with them and for the development this contact has entailed. “One of tho things that has made life more significant has boon to mingle with you and see the progress in your work,” he salil.

BASKETBALL LINEUP REVIEWED BY COACH Coming Game Thought to Be Close One “The clash with the Willamette five Saturday night will be one of the hardest ond closest games! of the whole season,” said Billy Rein hart, Oregon basketball coacli. “'j'he Bearcats always wore good basket ball playdrs, and : they thoroughly know the game.” Tho fracas, which will take place in the Armory, will be the opening battle of the 1925 basketball sea son for the varsity. Reinhartj is not Certain just what lineup he trill use, except that the two vetersins, Hobson and Gowans will start j at forward. These two men will have a double job on their hands, for ^ibt only are they' expected to convert at regular intervals, but their stead iness will have to offset any at tacks of nervousness that may be experienced by the new men to the squad who are under fire for the first time. The squad is composed of men, however, who have played quite j a bit of basketball, and Billy is con fident that they will play like vete rans. Drill on offense and defense, with a view to perfecting the five man play that was so successful last year, has been going on all week, and the team is rapidly rounding into shape. To supplant Hobson and Gowans at forward when needed, Reinhart will have Childs, Llewellyn, and Stoddard. At center, either Jost or Okerberger will start, with a pos sibility of Carter getting into the game as well. Westergren has been going ood at guard, and will prob ably start, with Gunther or Rein hart as a running mate. Gillen waters, who has 'been. Hast, may be in shape, and Hughes will be avail able if needed. The entire University is expected to turn out for the game, which has been set for 7:30 sharp. A regular rooting section will be formed, and tho stage has been alloted to the sports writers. All big games will be held in the Armory this year, as usual. Eu gene is fortunate, athletically speaking, for all the first big glumes, the ones that really count the most, take place at home.

Thaeher, in structor of short story, between now and Tebruary 1, the final date pf the contest. The first prize of $50 was won last year by Elnora Keltner.
