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.

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.

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.”

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.

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.
