Varsity Basketball Squad
1° Plays Three Games This
Week-end on Short Trio
{Continued from page one)
will start on Thursday.
The varsity hopes for a success
ful season this year have been con
siderably raised by the showing that
the Aggies have made so far this
season. O. A. C. lost to Washing
ton and barely defeated the Gon
zaga quintet by a 22 21 score. The
Beavers have practically a lotter
unan team, and their showing in the
1 conference race has been rather
mediocre for a team of their calibre.
Oregon has not engaged in any
torrid tussles so far, as the varsity
does not meet any coast conference
teams until the first of next week.
However, for a team with practi
cally a green and inexperienced
quintet, Oregon has made a rather
impressive showing. Whether the
team will stand up under real fire
will be settled when the varsity
meets their first real opponent when
they mix with the powerful Wash
ington five.

-When all the little school children
are changed during the night into
fairy-land, there is one,Alonzo, who
has to become a kewpie because ho
was" the “one little boy who had
no nightie at all.” All the others
were changed into fairies.
The child idea will even be ex
tended to the ushers during the per
formance of “Yellow Candle
Light.” Several present or former
members of the University company
have volunteered. Gordon (Fat)
Wilsen, Kate Pinneo, Dorothy
Wooten, and Nancy Wilson are
those who have been selected to
usher and each will be dressed as
they were in the days when they
had but four or five years of age to
their credit.
“Yellow Candle Light” will be
unique in the annals of University
dramatic history.

DR. RAINEY TO ADDRESS
! RADIO AUDIENCE FRIDAY
Educational Value of Cross
Word Puzzles Topic
“Are Cross-Word Puzzles Educa
tional?” is the title of a radio lec
Iture to be broadcast by Dr. H. P.
! Rainey, professor of education,
from station KGW of the Morning
Oregonian, Friday evening at 8
o’clock. This is the weekly lecture
service put on through station KGW
by the University extension divi
sion.
The cross-word puzzle craze has
been attracting the attention of the
j American public for several months,
j Almost every newspaper in the
country carries a cross-word puzzle
in its columns. Some have gone
so far as to conduct cross-word
puzzle contests. Dr. Rainey has
been interested in them from the
educational standpoint and has con
ducted a scientific survey to de
termine their real value. His find
ings will be given to the radio
world Friday night.
“I believe that the cross-word
puzzles have a definite educational
value, although they cannot be used
in the class room,” he said. “Just
exactly why they cannot be used
in school rooms I am going to show
Friday. ”
“Cross-word puzzles are only a
passing fad,” stated Dr. Rainey.
“They won’t last any longer than
six months as is proven by the fact
that the newspapers have started
‘ Cross-Word Puzzle Campaigns.’
The fad will soon become as dead
as the Mah Jongg craze.”
Dr. Rainey bases his conclusions
on the American social class sys
tem. Fads start in the social
classes. When the upper classes
adopt a new fad everybody takes
it up. Then the upper classes
change just to be doing something
different.

Wrigley and the Engine
Many retailers have stocked merchandise that
was supposed to sell because of a flurry of adver
tising to appear in local papers. The following
story recently told of William Wrigley illustrates
the continual effort necessary to keep goods before
the public.
Wliile riding on a train, Mr. Wrigley was told
by a friend that his product was so widely known
he was wasting money by continually advertising.
“If the engine were to be cut off from this
train what would happen?” asked Mr. Wrigley.
“The train would coast for a while and then
come to a stop.”
“Exactly,” said Mr. Wrigley. “And if I should
cut. off advertising my business would coast for a
while and then stop.”
