By Taos Society of
Artists to Be Shown
Stunts and surprises for Jury
■day, January 21, annual gala exhi
bition day in the art school, are
irapidly materializing, according to
presidents of the various groups
and clubs in the department. The
•stunts that the different groups will
present will have their appeal in
both art and humor, and the keen
est rivalry among the groups is al
ready being shown.
Stunts Kept Secret
Just what these stunts consist
of, cannot yet be learned, for there
is an air of secrecy about the build
ing, but all the wit and talent in
the art department is being used to
make an interesting and colorful
■entertainment for the guests of the
■day.
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. These come from
the “Taos society, a group of well
known painters of the southwest,
representing the foremost artists 'of
the country. The subjects treated
are portraits of the types and char
acters of the Indians of New Mex
ico and Arizona, and landscapes of
that part of the country. The pres
ence of these paintings is a much
looked for event in the art life of
the University and community. At
a later date the personnel of the
exhibitors will be given with a full
account of the subject and treat
ment for which they stand.
“Indications point toward the
best Jury day of recent years, both
from a point of view of scholastic
achievement and of entertainment,’’
said Professor Nowland B. Zane of
the fine arts department.

STUDENTS AND FORD BATTLE
ELEMENTS ON CALIFORNIA TRIP
(By P. S.)
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

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

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,”

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,

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.
