points on the globe. He expects to
be gone for about six months.

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.

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.

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

men on Hayward field. This term

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 !

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.

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.

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
