A technical knowledge ofl chemistry is not required of entrants, and con testants are urged to consult freely with science or ifther teachers, se curing material from reference works and other sources. Work Must Be Original The only restrictions placed upon the participants aro that the essay must be the original work of the contestant, and that ho may only submit one essay which must not exceed 5,000 words, the essay to be in the hands of the committee not later than March 1, 1925.

Garvan of New York, ns an educational pro ject and to direct attention to some of the important relations of chem istry; to encourage the acquirement of familiarity with reference books and to promote expression of thought ami tho formulation of ideas. The choice of subjects, all the rules and regulations governing the contest were given under the absolute control and direction of the society. L. If. Bakeland, president of the American Chemical Society, says that the scope and full value of tho science of chemistry is not under stood by the average man or woman, but that Mr. Garvan in his work during the war perceived its impor tance, and in his practical idealism inaugurated a new way of spreading ®the significance of chemistry ftfr tho benefit of humanity, by address ing himself to the younger genera tion. 14 Awards Offered To additiion to the scholarships originally provided, awards given by other schools of learning are: Baylor college for women, one schol arship, worth $120; Catholic Uni versity of America, one four-year tuition scholarship; Georgetown university, one four-year tuition scholarship: Northern Normal and Industrial School, cash prize of $25; Northwestern university, one one year scholarship; St. Louis univer sity, one four-year scholarship with matriculation fee; State University of Iowa, one one-year scholarship: ft |University of Arizona, two scholar ships, remitting all fees; University of Florida, two one-year scholar- . ships, remitting registration and laboratory fees; University of Ken tucky, one one-year scholarship; University of Maryland, one one vear scholarship; University of Mississippi, one scholarship, free matriculation and incidental fees; University of Missouri, six one-year scholarships, remitting fees; Uni-i versify of Virginia, ohe four-year i scholarship; Washington and Leo University, one tuition scholarship, worth $30. c DEAN ALLEN IS BACK FROM TRIP TO COAST Eric W. Allen, dean of the school i of journalism, returned yesterday! from Marshfield, where he con ferred with Edgar McDaniel, presi dent of the Oregon Newspaper Con ference, and several of the news paper men from around Coos Hay on the program for the Newspaper conference to be held on the cam pus March 13 and 14. Dean Al len spoke at the annual meeting of the North Bend chamber of com merce Wednesday evening. It was decided to appoint a pro gram committee representing the Northwestern Circulation Men’s as sociation, tho country and city newspapers and the advertising men. This committee will be ap pointed in a few days to formulate plans for the Newspaper Confer ence. On his way home Dean Allen stopped in newspaper offices in cluding Marshfield, Coquille, Myr tle Point, Boseburg, Oakland, Suth erlin and Cottage Grove. Business Calls Joe Maddock From Position As Oregon Grid Coach (Continued from page one) • | and also become a real member of i the faculty. Coach Is Warmly Praised In commentdng on the action of the Oregon grid mentor, Virgil Earl said, “He was one of the finest fel lows I ever met.” Doan Dyment al so praised the work of Mjaddock very highly, stating that “Joe” was a real coach who “spared his mon,” inasmuch as there were very few men walking around on crutches last season and a very low number of injuries. Not only among the men on the gridiron but on tho campus and throughout tho state, Maddock has boon the object of considerable commendation for the excellent sportsmanship that he instilled in his elevens. He never believed in excessive scrimmage, for he be lieved that if his men mastered the fundamentals of the grid game, they would be ready to really play foot ball without scrimmaging every night. Sports authorities on the coast have marveled at the excellent rec ord made by Maddock in the past season. He came to Oregon and took over a green and demoralized team that had suffered defeat af ter defeat. The material on hand was not of an exceptional calibre; there were a few lettormen but the | majority of the planes on the squad ! had to be filled with men from the i last year freshman squad. Mad j dock was undaunted by these gloomy prospects. Instead he cheor ! fully and rather optimistically set' 1 about to build up a real champion ship eleven. “Fundamentals” was the thing stressed above everything else out on the gridiron. The new j conch seemed to care little about the heavy schedule that faced the varsity gridsters. Instead hoi drilled his men on the primary points of the game up until the very eve of the Oregon football season. | When the Lemon-Yellow eleven failed to score on the weak Willam ette team, sports experts quickly passed the word about that 'Mad dock was not the coach that his record had shown. However, as the season advanced, and Oregon began defeating teams by impressive scores, Maddock came to the front and received the glory due to him. His outstanding achievements were the Washington and O. A. 0. victories. The manner in which Ore gon won the Husky contest by play ing “Maddock’« fundamental style of football” is clear in the minds of all Oregon sports fans As a direct result of Haddock’s work in the past grid season, one of the heaviest grid schedules ever outlined for Oregon was drawn up for the coming year. Realizing that Oregon, with Maddock at the helm, was a coming team on the coast, California, Stanford and Washing ton signed an agreement with Ore gon to play with each other for the coming two years. This is a very outstanding piece of evidence point ing to the high esteem that Had docks’ ability is looked upon by the leading coast football teams. ARRANGE CO-ED RIFLE SCHEDULE Women’s Varsity Shooters Working on Range i _ i MANY MATCHES PLANNED I Team to Be Chosen First Week in February The women’s varsity rifle' team .will be chosen the first week in Feb ruary. This statenfent was made | by Edna Spenker, head of the sport. { Judgment will be based on the scores for the entire week’s shoot | ing. A squad of 25 or 30 girls will .be selected for the team. From this squad, 10 or 15 girls, depending on the size of the opposing team, will represent the University in match es with other schools. The girls who are chosen from the general varsity team will be determined by their scores of the week previous ,to the match. Practice is well under way. The majority of those signed up are appearing regularly for the required five hours practice a week. A full attendance this week has been pre vented by misunderstandings about the beginning date of practice. For the next few days emphasis is being placed on sighting and aiming. This first exercise con sists of sighting through a rifle, which is fixed in place, at a target held against a sheet of paper upon which the record is kept. The per son “shooting” directs the adjust ment of the target units he judges that tho bulls-eye is in a direct range with his rifle. This spot is marked on the paper through a hole in the bulls-eye. This process is repeated twice more, and the three dots on the sheet of paper indicate the individual’s degree of pro ficiency in sighting. The dots are connected by lines making a tri angle. Perfect sighting would re sult in a very small triangle one eighth of an, inch or less on all sides, indicating that the “shots” had been all, or nearly all, in the same spot. Matches will probably bo shot off on the following schedule: Febru ay 28, University of Vermont; Uni versity of Cincinnatti; University of Michigan; University of Nevada; Oregon Agricultural college; Okla homa A. and M. college; Univer sity of Washington. The schools which are represented by teams ^composed of 10 members have been grouped together. The following use 15 members on a team. Matches have been sched uled, subject to change, as follows: March 7—-University of Illinois; ^Northwestern University of Kan sas; Syracuse; University of Ne braska. February 14—Polytechnic H. S.

Possibility of further exposure was reported when it was learned that Jennie Norine, a member of Delta Gamma, who is not attending school this term, but was visiting on the campus several days ago, has a suspected case of small pox. As a precautionary measure the members of the sorority we*re vac cinated last night. Dean Bovard points out that there is no cause for alarm, but in order to reduce the danger of a spread of tho disease, vaccination is ad visable. The state health officer reports that the malady is preva lent throughout the state at the present time, consequently the health service department is making a special effort to prevent the occur once of an epidemic on the cam pus. JUNIORS MAKE PLANS FOR NO-DATE PARTY The junior class has announced its plans for a party to be held Friday, January 30, which has been set aside on the social calendar as the night for* class parties. The class voted for a no-date af fair at its meeting yesterday. Joe Frazer was appointed chairman of the dance, and promises a novel af fair. Committees were appointed to superintend the affair. Cylbert McClellan is chairman of the fea ture committee, Maurice Warnock is in charge of refreshments; Ever ett Ogle of transportation; and Adrian Hazard will arrange for Enviable Football Record Made By California Bears (Continued from page one) all beat him.

In 1922 and 1923 Smith still; managed to out-fox all comers with the exception of Nevada. Nevada! came to Berkeley with a good team 1 all bent on winning from California. ! She did not win, but held the haugh ty Bears to a scoreless tie. This certainly was a moral victory for Nevada, if a moral victory was ever won since. In the three sea-1 sons previous to this, California had j simply walloped Nevada, and the I Bears were confident of Victory.

They could not be satisfied with what was told them of Pennsylvania. They thought it necessary to see for themselves just what was what. Upon their return, Smith made the statement that “Pennsylvania is that kind of team which wins games, but they can be beaten.” California’s 14-0 victory over them showed that he was right. There are a thousand and one peo ple who when asked their opinion of California’s phenominal record say, “Bunk! They have merely been lucky!” Without a doubt Califor nia has had her share of luck.
