pamphlet received by O. F. Staf
ford, professor of chemistry, from
Alexander Williams, Jr., secretary
of the committee on prize essays of
the society.

Funds Are Provided
This is the first year that under
graduate students of unversifies and
colleges have been included in the
contest. East year the society
awarded six scholarships of $500
annually for four years to six stu
dents of high and secondary school
grade in the United States.
The funds have been provided by
Mr. and Mrs. Francis P. 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.

Business Calls Joe
Maddock From Position
As Oregon Grid Coach

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.

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. (and Junior college. February
21—Utah Agricultural college!; Uni
versity of Montana; University of

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.

was impossible. But if what they
said is true, Smith has accomplished ;
the impossible.
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.
Consequently oi^ the day of the !
game, Smith and a number of his !
first string men were at Palo Alto
scouting Stanford-Up S. C. game, i
The scores of the three games pre- '
vious to the one referred to were: !
California 79, Nevada 7; California!
51, Nevada 6; California 61, Ne- j
vada 13. j
A month or so before the game
scheduled with Pennsylvania in
Berkeley on New Year’s Day, Smith
and his most able captain, “Babe”
Horrell went east to see Pennsvl
vania in action. 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. She

is entitled to it, but it hardly seems j
possible that luck can be responsi- !
ble for a five-year run of victories. ;
Anyway here are some figures which !
might interest those who say
“Bunk.”
Since the opening of the 1920 sea
son California has played 48 games.
Of these she has won 44, tied 4 an 1
lost 0. She has scored 1,561 points
on her opponents, while heir oppon
ents have scored only 139 points on
her. This gives her an average of
32.5 points per game to her op- j
ponents average of 2.8 points. And
still they call it luck.
