Approximately $100 was made
yesterday at the auction sale
sponsored by Women’s League.
This is the first affair of this
kind ever held on the! campus,
the articles being those lost last
year, and left unclaimed, in the
University depot.
A large crowd gathered early
about the library steps, where the
sale took place, and the bidding
was rapid. Articles were soon
raised to the closing price, and
everything was sold at some
amount.
Randall Jones, Bob Mautz, and
James Leake acted as auction

true Shylocks, in their ability to
keep the bidding high and pep
py. Margaret Vincent had
charge of the articles which were
sold.

EDGAR LEE MASTERS COMPARED
TO WALT WHITMAN BY CRITICS
By E. S.
TBdgar Lee Masters, American
poet and author, who will speak on
the campus next Monday night, is
one of the best known of the mod
ern poets. His reading public on
one volume, Spoon Biver Anthology,
is numbered in the hundreds of
thousands. More than 50,000 copies
•of this work have been published.
Mt. Masters has been called in
tensely American. His driving, al
most breathing people, untinted and
presented in his own manner of ob
jective dissection of facts, places
him in the minds of many critics
on a plane with Walt Whitman. He
has been suggested.- as the logical
suceessor to Whitman.
This modern poet deals more
readily with the sordid, the tragedy
and the unscrupulousness of this life
than with the beauty of the finer
■ version. America without glamour,
the tragedy of our present-day ex
istence, told with a sweep of drab
pessimism is the story told in a ma
jority of Mr. Master’s pictures in
Spoon Biver.
Both free verse and rhyme are
.used by Mr. Masters. His free verse
is deep in thought, full of pictures
and in a quality of sound and musi
cal note which, while inferior to
Walt Whitman, produces wonderful
pictures without a cramped sensa
tion.
The poet was born in Garnett,
Kansas, August, 1868. His parents
were of English descent. The fam
ily on their arrival in this country
separated, one branch settling in
Virginia and the other in Tennes
see. Following his graduation from
Knox college, Illinois, he was ad
mitted to the bar in 1891 and took1
a place in his father’s law office.
For almost ten years he continued
his law practice and his study of
poetry before the puJsSication of
his “A Book of Verses” (1898).
Mr. Masters is hailed by many
critics in foreign countries, espe
cially in England, as the second
greatest American poet. His poetry
is printed in the Dial, Literary Be
view, Century and many other lead
ing journals of the day. He is the
subject of criticism by leading lit
erary men of the world.
Bliss Carmen, modern poet, is one
of the large number of critics who
dislikes the biting realities, but ad
mires the vigorous style.
HOOP PAVILION
AAAY BE BUILT
Seven Named on Committee
For Considering Erection
Of New Basketball Floor
ED TAPFER IS CHAIRMAN
Seats for Over 4000 Being
Planned by Constructing
Double Deck Bleachers
The difficulties under which the
varsity basketball squad has
worked this season has brought the
need of a new place to hold contests
before the student body more forci
bly than ever before. As a conse
quence a committee was appointed
yesterday by Randall Jones, presi
dent of the student body, to con
sider plans for a pavilion to be
erected by next season that will be
adequate to accomodate the sport.
The committee was named as the
result of a motion by the athletic
finance committee. Ed Tapfer was
chosen chairman of the group, with
Kenneth Stephenson, Mary Skin
ner, Victor Risley, Karl Ontliank,
L. H. Johnson, and Virgil Earl as
members. Randall Jones will also
assist the committee.
Flans to be Considered
Several different plans for fin
ancing the project will be drafted
by the committee at once, said
Jones, and some definite method
of raising money for the building
will be decided upon. It is hoped
that- the pavilion may be ready by
next season, but this is not at all
certain.
A building that will have a sub
stantial basketball court, surround
ed by seats for 4,000 or 5,000 spec
tators, is being planned. A roof
and walls of simple construction
would complete the structure. The
seating capacity may be obtained
by building double deck bleachers,
similar to the grandstand at O. A.
C. athletic field.
Bleachers May Be Replaced
The committee will also consider
replacing the bleachers of Hayward
field with a substantial stadium
structure, that will seat, spectators
in dry and comfort. If this plan
is worked out, a new press box,
large enough to accommodate the
necessary number of sports writers,
is to be erected on top of the new
stand.
The basketball team has for sev
eral years been working under de
cidedly adverse conditions. The gym
on the campus is too small and
Wholly inadequate for any real
playing or practice, and thei Eu
gene armory floor has been used.
This has involved several complica
tions, however, because many times
thei men have been kept from prac
ticing there by some function or
other, and it has almost no accom
odations for players. The varsity
has not had time enough to become
familiar with the floor during the
season, so that every game played
was the same as a game away from
home.
“Basketball is one of the most
important sports at Oregon,” said
Jones, “and it deserves an adequate
court, with room for ajl the stu
dents and other spectators that
support the game. A new pavilion
is a vital need, and it is our hope
that this can be ready for the next
season."
COSMOPOLITAN CLUB
' HOLDS CHINESE NIGHT
Two solos by Frank Jue and a
feature dance by Lily Hing were
features of Chinese Night at the
Cosmopolitan club last night. An
other unique item of the program
was the Chinese food served as re
freshments.
Several talks were given on vari
ous phases of China. Ta Lee spoke
on the student life of China; Hung
F. Chung reviewed the recent his
tory of China; and Mrs. Gertrude
'Bass Warner, donor of the Murray
Warner collection of Oriental art,
who was a guest of the club, told
I of her recent travels in China.
Women's Building
Will Be Scene Of
Annual Frosh Glee
Decorations, Lighting
To Be Altrique
The Frosh Glee, chief social'
function of the freshman class,
will take place Saturday evening
at 8:30 o’clock. The scene of
this annual affair of the gieen
cajl class will be in spacious
gymnasium hall of the Woman’s
building.
This dance will hold absolute
sway in the social calendar for
Saturday evening, and as the
reports from the basketball games
will be over by the time set for
the event, there will be nothing
to interfere with the plans for a
good time.
The committees report every
success in their efforts, and the
class of 1928 desire that the en
tire student body be their guests
at the last social event before
examinations.
A most unusual decorative
“motif” has been decided upon
and the hall will be very elabor
ate and fantastic in a Lunar at
mosphere of glittering silver.
Unique plans for the lighting ef
fects will jfenhance the general
scheme, and the committees prom
ise many delightful surprises in
accord with the mysterious deco
j rative scheme.
An eight-piece orchestra will fur
nish the music for the evening.

crowded lately. The building is
full of students all day and over

BART SPELLMAN SIGNS
AS HUSKY GRID COACH
Bart Spellman, for six years line
coach of the Oregon varsity, has
signed a contract to coach football
at the University of Washington,
Darwin Meisnest, graduate mana
ger gleefully announced Saturday
night. Spellman was forced to re
sign his position at Oregon when
the death of his father compelled
him to stay in Seattle most of his
time in order to take care of busi
ness matters.
Spellman can coach at Washing
ton and attend to his business at
the same time, he explains. /He will
act as scout, and will coach the
“super-varsity,” the squad that the
varsity team plays against in or
der to learn the opposing teams
styles of play. Bart will not scout
Oregon, he emphatically said, and
this was understood when he was
hired by the Huskies.
“I hate to get away from foot
ball,” he stated. “I would never
have left Oregon if I could have
spared the time to get down there
for practice. ”
Spellman will assist in coaching
spring practice at Washington.

GAME SCHEDULE
DATES CHUEO
Oregon-Aggie tilt Set for
Friday Night Moved Up
To Tomorrow at 5 p. m.
LIMIT PLACED ON SEATS
Officials not Yet Chosen;
Varsity Men Recovering
Fast From Minor Injuries
The Oregon-O. A. C. basketball
tilt scheduled for Friday night at
Eugene has beon moved up to
Thursday afternoon at 5 o’clck. The
game at Corvallis on Saturday night
will be run off as originally
planned at 7:30. The reason for
the shifting of the date for the
Eugene game was due to the fact
that the Armory was not available
for a game at that time, on account
of a revival meeting being held
there.
Only 100 tickets will be allowed
to Oregon students going to Corval
lis. The reason for this limitation
is that the athletic committee de
cided that it was the best policy to
let the home fans get the first
chance to see their team in action.
The same limitation will be placed
on the number of Aggie students
coming to the Eugene contest.
Officials not Selected
The prices for the Eugene game
are as follows: student tickets,
fifty cents; resorve tickets, $1.00,
and also seats for $1.25.
, As yet the officials for the
“championship series” have not
been selected. From all indications
the probable officials will be: Nig
Borleske, of Whitman, as referee,
with Bill Mulligan, of Gonzaga, aa
umpire.
With the armory now being used
for a religious meeting place, the
Oregon quintet is hard put to find
a suitable place to practice in. At
present the varsity is working out
in the University gymnasium.
Crippled Men Recover
By Thursday the somewhat crip
pled Oregon team should be in regu
lar condition. Okerberg, > Jost,
Westergren and Gillenwaters are all
recovering from minor injuries and
with two days remaining before the
contest, these players will be able
to go at top speed.
With the first of the three game
series between the Lemon Yellow
five and the Aggies being run off
on the Oregon home floor, the var
sity should have a slight advantage
in getting the jump on the Beaver
quintet. The team that wins the
first game will have a decided ad
vantage in the second game.
The Aggie squad has not let up
in the slightest in the training
grind. They will be all prepared
to give the Oregon hoopsters one
of the stiffest battles of the season'.
The U. S. C. game served more or
less as a practice game to keep the
Beaver hoopsters in good shape. t
PROSPECTIVE TEACHERS
MUST FILE APPLICATIONS
Lists of vacancies in the teach
ing staffs of Oregon high schools
are expected to be turned in to the
employment bureau at the educa
tion building by March 1. For this
reason, and to insure satisfactory
positions, all students intending to
teach next year are urged to make
application at the bureau at once.
Several government positions in
grade and high schools in the Phil
ippines arc also open, and these ap
plications can be made through the
appointment bureau.
