Yell King Orders Game Spectators To Be Less Noisy All manner of “razzing,” and undue noise at basketball games hereafter must stop. This is the edict of Fred Martin, yell king. “Noise is fine in its place, but players of both sides must be given a fair chance,” says Mar tin. “Lately spectators have been forgetting this, and their negli gence has been a source of com plaint by the coaches and players of both teams. The code of behavior at basket ball games is simple, and should be learned by everyone, says Mar tin. It is just this: never “razz” any players or officials; main tain silence while both teams are shooting fouls; treat both sides fairly at all times. Oregon has always had a repu tation for good sportsmanship, and this reputation should bo carefully guarded, stated Martin. ASSEMBLY DEVOTED !

Second Hungarian Rhapsody .... .Lizst Orchestra “La Veeda” has been described by Mr. Underwood as the “grand father of the modern fox trot,” and in his opinion is one of the best of the early fox trots. It is for this reason he is reviving the old favorite in today’s program. Besides working up the assembly entertainment, the orchestra mem bers have been devoting much time preparing for the formal opening of the new music auditorium and for their big spring concert.

FAIRYLAND FANTASY ENCHANTS THEATRE GOERS AT PREMIERE A touch of the magic wand turned Guild hall into Fairyland last night changed the dross of realty to luminous glittering star dust as the 0premiere of “Yellow Candle Light,” Fergus Reddie’s latest fantasy, caught the audience and took it back a million years— to yesterday—the day when we were all Fairies, the only real peo ple. That is the theme of the musical playlet, of which Perry Arant is the co-producer—that the real life of children, and perhaps of all of us, is the make believe life in which dreams are sweet, and bubbles do not burst. “Yellow Candle Light” includes about every conceivable form of en tertainment, from singing, dancing, and circus antics, to fantastic and at times exotic glorification of the ; drama of childhood. One of the chief elements of interest in Mr. Reddie’s production is the dazzling ly beautiful setting -which his stage technique has provided for the Fairyland scene. The stage ac tually appears ethereal when the Queen of the Fairies sits regally upon her throne and the Court Wiz ard bounces about at her feet mak ing marvelous contortions. A bit of farcial comedy entirely worthy of the poet Riley appears in the interlude between acts I and II, when the country school prin- | cipal makes love to the archaic . sehoolmarm, to the delight of the ; watching but unwatched school j urchins. “Yellow Cande Light” will play j tonight, Friday, and Saturday < nights, and Saturday afternoon. 1 800 Students Must Appear During Next Three Days Or Pay Additional Sum PENALTY WILL BE $3.00 Warning is Issued Against Giving of N. S. F. Checks; Few Issued Up to Date With less than three days left for the payment of fees, about 800 students must appear at the busi ness office before Saturday noon and settle their accounts, or pay the three dollar late payment fee. “Strictly business” methods are to be adopted^ it has been an nounced, and absolutely n» leniency will be shown to stragglers. Last term the usual last minute crowd appeared on Saturday morning. As it was impossible to take care of all, many were given slips upon the presentation of which they were permitted to pay their fees on the following Monday, without the ad ditional late fees. Late Penalty Fee Charged The edict issued this term, how ever, is that the windows of the of fice will be closed at noon Satur Say, and those who will not yet have paid their fees must pay the penalty of three dollars for the first day late, 25 cents for each day thereafter. Post graduate students ire included in this ruling and are subject to the same penalties. The reason for the stricter meth ods is that although a longer per od has been allowed this year for ;he payment of fees, students have failed to take advantage of the op portunity. Ten days have been al owed, and two Saturdays have peen included purposely to permit ;hose who are busy on other days to - risit the business office. Although : ■he office was open from 8 a. m. ■ intil 3 p. m. last Saturday, only )1 students appeared. Since then ;hey have been coming in at an ex- 1 ;remely slow rate. .rew jn. ». r. unecKs Received Few “N. S. F. ” checks have been ■eceived, it is reported, and this ’act is serving to brighten a rath er gloomy situation, according to nembers of the business staff. At ;he same time a warning is sent >ut that those who issue such checks in an effort to avoid paying ;he late payment fee, will find the effort worthless, as the fee will be 1 idded in spite of the fact that the i ■heck might be issued before the , illotted time is ended. PITCHING ASPIRANTS TO START TRAINING The varsity pitching aspirants vill begin their spring training next veek. The first work-out will be 1 leld Tuesday, in the men’s gym lasium. For the first few weeks 1 ;hey will get accustomed to the reel of the ball and get the stiff less out of their arms. Twirlers who made letters last rear and who will be back for this rear are Williams and Brooks. Last rear freshmen who will be out this ^ear are Harrison and B. Adolph. Both of these men did good work for the frosh last year. Harrison pitched stellar ball in all his rames, and Adolph also made a good record. Coach Billy Reinhart ifj formu- j !ating plans for a barnstorming irip to take place during spring va j nation. The plan is to go south and play Stanford and the University if California on their home grounds, rhe University of Southern Cali fornia squad may be taken on also. Work on the diamond on Kincaid field has not as yet begun, but will je started within two weeks. There s much work to be done as the field is in bad condition. If all ; dans for the work are carried out, Oregon will have one of the best 1 >all fields on the coast. 1 KtNMS.u--e.t4-i* r*oro Paul Krausse and Lexro Prillim an in “Yellow Candle Light, Musical Fantasy at Guild Theatre Now Playing CAMPUS LIBRARY ADDS 10,000 BOOKS IN 14 Latest Literature Indexed in New Pamphlet More than ten thousand books vere added to the University li >rary during the year 1924, accord ng to an official report recently is med by M.

The meeting will also be in the nature of a welcome for the” new mentor, who will appear officially for the first time since his election. “Every man who knows what a football is should turn out this spring,” says Mr. Earl, “and every one who is intending to turn out should be at the meeting today. It will be interesting enough for all.” ; TRICKSTERS TURN OUT IN SPITE OF WEATHER The recent bad weather has not decreased the usual turnout of track men on Hayward field. This term the men are coming out three times a week to go through their paces and are gradually rounding into condition. The first competition is planned for February 7 and every j Saturday after that there will be ! competition until the tryouts for the Stanford meet on April 4. On April 11, at Palo Alto, comes the first meet@of the season with Stan ford. Bill Hayward has received invi tations to participate in an indoor meet from the University of Ken tucky at Louisville. Ho has also been invited to enter teams in an outdoor meet staged by the Univer sity of Illinois, the Drake relays, and the Penn relays at the Univer sity of Iowa and Pennsylvania re spectively. Teams from Oregon | will not be entered, since the dis- j tance is too great and the heavy track schedule will take up the ! time of the Lemon yellow entirely. Prospects in the javelin have been strengthened by the turning (ConUmned on page foftr) Order of the ‘O’ Sponsoring Jitney Dance Saturday An old time jitney dance will be held in the Campa Shoppe, Saturday afternoon, by the Order of the “O”.

Order of the “O” dances have already made a name for themselves on the cam pus and this one will be truly typical. PRIMITIVE RELIGIONS IS OR. SMITH’S TOPIC People of Remote Pacific Regions Described “Religion is the deepest and most wide-spread concern of mankind; crude as his religious behavior be, it is the result of his most serious thinking, and should be rospected as such,” said Dr. Warren D. Smith, speaking on primitive religions in Alumni hall last night. The address was the second of the great series of lectures on religion being given weekly under the direction of the United Christian Work of the Uni versity of Oregon. “Philosophy and science have their roots in religion, for philoso phy began in an attempt to explain things about us,” said Dr. Smith, “and man’s first speculation on the things surrounding him were ex pressed in his religion. In this sense, science is an advance over both, but this does not mean that science is higher than religion. It is merely later in its development.” The speaker spoke principally of primitive peoples of the Pacific; inhabitants of the remote parts of the Philipines and Hawaii, with whom he had, while on United States Government commissions, had years of intimate relation. “Science, industry and education will vindicate the gods finally,” concluded the speaker, “when man learns to predicate earthquakes and the other inimical forces of nature, he will also learn to reconcile it and his religion. It is a part there of, not an enemy to it.” DEAN HALE TO SPEAK AT EUGENE MEETING William G. Hale, dean of the law school, will be the principal speak er at a mass meeting of students and townspeople to be held Satur day night in interest of the world court and the attitude of the Unit ed States towards this proposed covenant of nations. Tho meeting is being sponsored by the Associa tion of American University Wo- ' men and the Federated association. Dean Halo will discuss the opera tion and features of the world court. Citizens of Eugene will give five minute speeches Impressing their approval or disapproval of the world court. The meeting will be held Satur day evening at 8:15 o’clock at the Chamber of Commerce. It comes as a result of many expressions of the citizens of Eugene regarding the isolation policy which the United States has pursued. FATHER OF VIRGIL EARL DIES IN PORTLAND HOME Virgil Earl and Robert E. Earl, both connected with the athletic de partment of the University, were called to Portland Tuesday by the death of their father, Robert Earl. Mr. Earl died at his home in Port land at the age of 75 years. Fun eral services were held yesterday at noon. MTU CAME SET FOR TONIGHT Oregon Hoopsters Will Play Against Quintet Composed Of Men of Football Fame GRIZZLY TEAM STRONG Varsity Five Handicapped by Poor Playing Condition As Result of Vaccination When the Oregon varsity lines up against the Montana quintet at 7:15> wi" fee matched against a team of stars from the gridiron. The Grizzly quintet is made up from a squad of football luminaries. Should the Lemon-Yellow check the smashing and sweeping offen sive of the Northern team, they will stand a good chance to defeat the Montana five. Due to their un expected victory over the Idaho' quintet, the Grizzlies are rated as one of the strongest teams in the conference. Also in the Washing ton-Montana contest, Montana proved to be a dangerous opponent to the Husky five, since only in the final part of the second period were the Washington forwards able to break through the Montana defense, step into the lead and consequently defeat the Grizzlies. Oregon Yet Undefeated The Oregon basketeers have swept through the season so far with six straight victories. However, if the Montana quintet fails to damage this record, the Washington team is slated to give Oregon a torrid bat tle this Saturday in the Oregon Husky contest. The varsity will be handicapped in the respect that the team is in poor playing condition. Hobson is still suffering from a sore arm due to a recent vaccination and is not able to play his usual standard of game. The rest of the regulars have also been vaccinated but are able to play with little difficulty. So far this season, Oregon has not met a coast conference team and sports experts are rather doubt ful if the green Oregon basketball team can stand the attack of a powerful ouintet. Probable Lineup Given Should the varsity .lose to the Montana quintet tonight, the rat ing of the Oregon five in the coast conference standings would not be affected, and Oregon would still be in the race for the conference pennant. However, in the North west ratings, Oregon would be marked down for a defeat. Mon tana is in the coast conference, but the results of the games do not count for or against the opponents of the Grizzlies—Montana being the only team that records the re sults of her contests. The probable line-up for the game tonight is as follows: Oregon Montana Hobson.F. G. Hahlberg Gowans.F . Vaney Okerberg.0 . Illman Gillenwaters.G . Sweet Westergren.G. O. Hahlberg NEW BOOKS RECEIVED FOR RENT COLLECTION A number of interesting new books have recently been added to the rent collection in the. circula tion department of the library.
