' THE THURSDAY ASSEMBLES Editor of the Emerald: Most of us go to the Thursday morning assemblies for what good we may get out of them. There seems to be quite a few, however, who go there for some other pur pose—what! that purpose is i(? a puzzle. It is difficult enough under the best conditions to hear the speaker when one is sitting toward the rear of the hall. But when certain groups are continually whispering, laughing or being seized with an epidemic of coughs it becomes im possible. If these parties will not of them selves show consideration for others might it not be a good idea to ap point someone, probably an Oregon Knight, to act as a sort of sergeant at-arms, to quietly ask the offend ing ones to desist. I am sure that attendance at as semblies would be larger if every body could ibe assured of a chance to hear the speaker.

I OREGON’S BASKETBALL VICTORIES FOUND TO BE OF fcECENT DATE Sports Writer Unearths Statistics That Reveal Mistaken Idea of Varsity’s Prowess I The 1921 biisketball team by al | most copping the Pacific Coast I conference championship put the ■ name Oregon in basketball annals jail over the coast. With such men as “Eddie” Dur j no, “Billy” Reinhart, Nish Chap iman, Mark Latham, “Hunk” La than, and “Frans” Beller to pick from, George Bohler, at that time coach, had something most unusual to start with. In the middle of a successful sea ' son they played the University of California in the Armory for what might be called the Coast champion ship. California won both games but not until they had gone through a terrible.struggle. The first game California won by three points, 26 23, the second by six points, 24-18. The following year things went bad again. Coupled with a lot of hard luck only two imen from the previous year returned. “Eddie” Durno coached the frosh team, Nish Chapman did not return and “Hunk” Latham and Hal Chapman were in Hawaii with the football team. This left only Mark Latham and Frans Beller to build the team around. . Tile varsity lost about everything ineluding games to Willamette and Whitman. However they partially redeemed themselves by winning two straight games from Nevada. Incidentally these are the only two games ever played by Oregon and Nevada basketball teams. The 1923 team certainly looked good, and were exceptionally good —at times. Inconsistency marked their play the whole year. They started out the season with a bang, simply swamped everything that came along until that heart breaking defeat by Washington oc jurred. That game broke some thing, spirit is probably the best name for it. Anyway, their game )f ball eouldn’t be compared with , the game they had been playing Maybe at some time during a game they would break loose with a type of play which was up to their obi standard, but it never at any time stayed long. Consequently Oregon did not get very high in the 1923 standing. Nothing more than a champion ship team started training in 1924. Latham, Chapman, Shafer, Gowans, Hobson—they all were stars. “Billy” Reinhart was all smiles. But after defeating Washington, Chapman’s knee went bad and Shafer was operated on for appen dicitus. Oregon was in another rut. Her subs were good; yes, but they hadn’t had enough experience to make them the perfect players Chapman and Shafer were. Ore gon’s defeat of Washington by only one point was proof enough that she needed all the strength she could possibly get. The loss proved too much and Washington won the sec ond game with comparative ease. Washington also won the Northwest championship and played California for the Pacific Coast championship, which California won. With all this, Oregon beat the Aggies in two of the four games I played. Not so bad after all. Get the Classified Ad habit ) Editorially Clipped | <S*» - .. • —'—-❖ WESTWARD, HO! Sectionalism in the United States was never more prevalent in history than it is today in educational circles. There are many educators, men of letters and public officials, who refuse to recognize the equality of the west’s universities with those of the east. Sometimes it seems they have become biased by mere tradition and clique spirit. We of the west ask—after college what? There is the proof of the pudding. We let Henry L. Do herty, famous public utilities own er end executive, act as our mouth piece. In speaking of his experi ence in selecting executives for his many enterprises, Mr. Doherty says: “I don’t know why it is, but we always have better luck with our western men. Once in a while an eastern graduate makes good. 'But not so often. Approximately 90 per cent of my most successful execu tives are products of the middle west or west.” —Varsity News (U. of Detroit). THEIR LATIN STUDIES HELP THEM The American Classical League and the Bureau of Education, after studying the records of 10,000 can didates for admission to college, find that the Latin surpassed the non-Latin students by some 13 per cent in other subjects than Greek and Latin. So Lord Redesdale found that long grubbing in Greek and Latin grammar at Eaton helped him in the study of Chinese and other strange tongues. One of the greatest instances of the value of classical studies was .the invitation some 18 years ago of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to Andrew Fleming West, the Princeton protagonist of the classics, to become its head. That is striking testimony to the appreciation of the worth of classi cal culture in a high and difficult field, seemingly most remote from it. It may be said that Wests are likely to be as common as hen’s teeth; but this 13 per cent superior ity is something and indicates a good deal. And the Bureau of Edu cation tells us that the Latin courses in the high school now at tract more students than all other language courses combined; and that, in the secondary schools, some 22,500 Latin teachers are instruct ing 940,000 students. If not many of these become “scholars,” yet something will be learned and gained; and some ad vancement of these pupils in other branches can be foreseen. If this sort of thing goes on, there will soon be a howl about cramming our American youth with those “dead languages” that never die. —N. Y. Times. Dean Seashore’s Plan Discussed By Faculty Association at Meeting (Continued from page one) ing the past year. Dr. Warner’s suggestion was up held by Dean E. W. Allen, of the school of journalism, who presented a tentative credit scheme which might be employed under this the ory. He proposed that honors stu dents should receive 10 credits, I students 9 credits, II students 8, and so on down to the V student who should receive only five cred its. According to this system 1,300 credits would graduate a student. Prior to the opening of the dis cussion an election of officers was held for the coming term. Dr. James Gilbert of the economic de partment was elected president of the association for the coming term, and Dr. Milne of the mathematics department was chosen secretary.
