Many professionals in the world of art, and well-known people of 'the state, as well as students of the University will be guests of the art department on that day. Promin ent architects, sculptors, painters and designers will visit the school and speak to the different groups on their special subjects. Among these, a talk on textiles will be given to those interested in that form of art, explaining the color, weave and use of materials; and the architecture and designing classes will also be addressed. Paintings to Be Exhibited. In connection with Jury day a •visiting exhibition of oil paintings will be featured.

When red men stalked the unin habited forests and stagecoaches careened their way over rough and uncertain roads, men braved much to acquire little. But the days of painted warriors is practically over and gasless go-buggies come few and far atwixt. However, we occa sionally hear of dangers braved and struggles made by some energetic souls in their search for luck, liquor and the almighty dollar. The de tails of such a case have found their way to our ears, but it was not for any of the above pursuits that such hardships were under taken. Bather was it to accom plish what so many of us so easily managed after the exams were off -our chests—namely, going home for ithe Christmas holidays. The struggle involved was no less than a three day trip to the southernmost realms of California, and was accomplished in no other contraption than an open Ford motor car. (That’s where the struggle came in). The energetic souls who braved the hazardous trip were Jack Maguire, Quincy Adams, Duane Greenwood, Russell Boner and Randolph Richards, all natives of the fair state known as the land of the lemon and the home of the prune. According to Maguire, who en gineered the trip, it took them three and a half days down and three days back. There was unusually deep snow through the Siskiyous, which lasted as far as Red Bluff, Cal. Through the mountains there was an unusually heavy gale blow ing so that it was almost necessary (Continued on Page Four) Outlook -for Winning Team Bright, With Large Squad Of Stars Limbering Up SEVENTY-FIVE REPORT Coach Dave Evans Develops Candidates in Reinhart Style of Varsity Play Freshman basketball practice is well under way this week with about 75 candidates out for the team. This makes the outlook for a winning yearling squad look rosy indeed, for such a large number of players has never tried out for a yearling hoop squad before. How ever, one should not grow too opti mistic, because it is too early in the season to justly guage the calibre of the material out in suit at pres ent. Dave Evans, who coached the first year hoopers last year, is again putting, them through their paces. Evans is a very creditable coach and he turned out a good freshman team last year, develop ing the players along the Reinhart style of play. This helps a great deal^because the hardest difficulty that a college coach must meet is in breaking' the average freshman player of the fundamental faults that he acquired in high school. Edlunds Assisting Coach Eddie Edlunds, an Oregon bas ketball forward of three years ago, is helping coach the frosh. Ed lunds, a very capable player him self, knows basketball and he should help a great deal in developing the squad. The practice so far has consist ed mostly of limbering up exercises and passing the ball. The squad is so large and unwieldy at present that it is impossible to stress any thing but the basic fundamentals. An effort will be made to size up 1 Vo-ntinned on Page Three) PUBLISHES NEW BOOK Dr. Louis Aubrey Wood, who joined the economies department of the University last Fall, has re cently published a “History of the Farmers’ Movement in Canada.” The book, edited by the Rynerson Press of Toronto, will probably have an American edition in the Spring. Despite the fact that Dr. Wood’s book mainly refers to the develop ment of the farmers’ movements in Canada, it contains various pas sages which are of special interest to American readers. A detailed account is given, for instance, of the manner in which the Order of the Grange was carried from the United States into Canada. One matter dealt with is the way in which the Order of thd Patrons 'of Industry was transplanted from Michigan into the province of On tario in 1889. Dr Wood’s account of the Patrons of Industry is a dis trict contribution, as ipralctically nothing has so far been chronicled with respect to them by American historians. Again, the volume refers to the .origin of the American Society of Equity in Indiana and of its spread into Alberta, where it became the basis of the widespread and famous movement that has occurred in that province. A separate chapter deals with the Canadian farmers’ inter est in securing a reciprocal trade agreement with the United States in 1910-11, and the failure of that effort due to the hostility of the Canadian electorate. Dr. Wood, who is a graduate of Heidelberg University in Canada, has been for nine years at the Uni | versity of Western Ontario. He ; completed his book during a per • iod last Vear when he was recover ing from an illness. Dr. Wood is also the author of the “Red River . Colony,” Local Magician To Present Act At Junction City Two Former Students Are Touring State Virgil H. Mulkey, local magi cian who has lately accepted an engagement with a western vau deville circuit, is to give liis act in entirety at Junction City at the theatre there Sunday even ing. Edgar Kellems, a former stu dent, is also on the same bill. Kellems is working up a whistl ing act that is regarded as uni que and promising. He plans to try out for vaudeville later. Several other cities have also been booked by both Mulkey and Kellems. After Junction City Sunday, they will go to Albany, Salem, Corvallis, and other places farther nortji. UPTON CLOSE TO GIVE ASSEMBLY ADDRESS Writer Will Talk on Chinese War Adventures A treat in assembly talks is promised for the weekly meeting, next Thursday, when Upton Close, whose real name is Josef Washing ton Hall, is scheduled to give a talk on “Adventures in Chinese Revol utions.” Hall is well known as an adven turer and writer.

His talk next week will deal with the events leading up to and personalities in the present Chinese situation and its interna tional significance. Hall’s latest 1>ook, “In the Land of the Laughing Buddah,” was given favorable comment by Mar shall Dana, of the Oregon Journal. It is reported to be a “best Beller” in Portland.

FIRST VARSITY GAME TONIGHT Willamette Quintet Rated Highly With Possible Edge on Oregon Team SQUAD LACKS TRAINING Gowans and Hobson Work At Forward, Rest of Team Inexperienced (By Wilbur Wester) Tonight if the varsity hoop squad succeeds in hurdling the first ob stacle in its path towards a success ful season, Billy Reinhart will be assured of little difficulty in de veloping a championship contend ing combination. The Willamette five is rated very high. It is a team of veterans who have had an early start this season and have been practicing for several months and really have an edge on the varsity. Practice Lacking The Oregon machine will be seri ously handicapped in the respect that the men have worked together very little. A two weeks' vacation broke up the training grind during Christmas and as yet the varsity has not developed into a combina tion of conference calibre due to the lack of practice. Gowans and Hobson at forward are the only men that have worked together and are acquainted with the “varsity style.” The other positions will have to be filled with men that have had no experience in confer ence basketball. Willamette Team Speedy The squad has been somewhat strengthened by the return of two men, Ted Gillenwaters and Louie Anderson. Gillenwaters returned from the east yesterday noon and has had no time as yet to get into shape. However “Ted” will be in a suit tonight ready to play should the occasion arise. Louie Anderson has played very little basketball up to the present time, but Ander son has been showing up well in practice and after a little more ex perience, he should provo a valuable man on the defense. The Bearcats are almost in the middle of their basketball schedule, (Continued on Page Four) DOUGHNUT SWIMMING TO BEGIN THIS MONTH Girl’s doughnut Bwimming meets wiill begin about January 24.

SHAKESPEAREAN ACTOR OFFERS TWO POPULAR CLASSICS TODAY Today, at a matinee and evening I performance, Fritz Leiber, Shake spearean actor and dramatist, will offer the two most popular plays from his repertoire. In the after noon Mr. Leiber will offer “The Three Musketeers,” Alexander Dumas’ great masterpiece, and in the evening the artist will be seen in the character of “Hamlet.” The matinee will begin at 2:30 and the evening performance at 8:30, an nounces W. B. McDonald, manager | of the Ileilig. Mr. Leiber is not a stranger to the campus, for he was here two ! years ago. At that time, although I lie had played in Shakespeare and | like dramas for but two years, he | was already being acclaimed one of the greatest actors of his time. He is still young, being but 38 years old. This season he scored his greatest success, even winning high favor with the blase New York critics for his excellent interpre tations. While in Eugene Mr. Leiber will be entertained by Mr. Fergus Red die, head of the department of drama. Mr. Reddie and the noted actor became friends two years ago. Opportunity will be given the stu dents of the department of drama to meet the actor. Mr. Reddie says |of him, “He is an artist in every way, and undoubtedly one of the leading Shakespearean interpreters today.” Prof. H. C. Howe, head of the I English department, also speaks well of the actor, and emphasized the fact that the best way to gain a knowledge of the greatest master pieces of drama is to see Shake speare.
