PRIMED FOR CHAMPIONSHIP CLASH !___ « PMS HEADY FOR SIR GAME f _ Injured Aggie Basket Men Recover Completely for Important Contest Here TEAM IN FINE CONDITION Ridings and Baker to Start At Forwards; Stoddard, And Steele on Defense By Clifton Booth (Sports Editor, O. A. C. Barometer) Corvallis, Ore., March 4.—(Spe cial to the Emerald)—The Aggie hoopers are ready for the first big game of the final and deciding series. Realizing that all depends upon these contests, the wearers of the orange and black will throw their last ounce of energy into to night ’s mix to get the first blood of the series. The team winning the first game win have a big advant age and for that reason the Beav ers are determined to emerge with a victory. Men are Confident Coach “Bob” Hager’s men are confident of their ability to hang a defeat upon the Oregon aggrega tion and the team will enter to night’s melee at full strength. The injuries sustained by the players during the regular season have had plenty of time to heal and the speed and swiftness of the team should not be hindered as a result. Bidings and Baker are expected to start in the forward berths, as they have in every conference game this year. Hidings’ leg is in better condition than at any time since it was injured and the Beavers have their scoring hopes pinned on this red headed flash. He is one of the best shots in the game, being among the leaders of the conference. Baker does not take as many shots as “Red” but works the ball into portion for the other players. Captain Steele’s sprained ankle is again nearly well and he and Stoddard will attempt to keep the Oregon men out of scoring dis tande of the basket. Brown May Start The final success of the Beavers will depend greatly upon the de fensive department of the team, hut these small but fast men can be depended upon to put up their usual consistent game. Brown is axpected to start at center, where he has won a name for himself. He is one of the best defensive men in the conference and is sure death on close-in shots. However the game may go, the Aggies are sure that they will have played the best game possible. They feel sure that their best game will be good enough to bring them out on the long end of the score and wdll on the way to the champion ship. TRACK ELIMINATIONS TO BE HELD SATURDAY The track season will officially start Saturday, when ,the first elimination tryouts will be held, said Bill Hayward, track coach, at the weekly luncheon of the Sports Writers’ association. Hayward was the guest of the organization, and discussed track prospects with the members. The action of the student body in appointing a committee to plan for a new basketball pavilion was heartily commended in a resolution passed by the association. The resolution also recommended that the structure be made large enough so that it will include an indoor track.

Important Member Of Botany Family Searches for Name A morsel of canine flesh is the most important member of the botany department family jnst at present. A rat terrier, of the two by four variety, is the new honored. The spotted white pup py is yet unconscious of the dig nity that is heaped upon him by being accepted by this scientific family. The official title for the "purp” has not been selected by Miss Lourence Taylor, owner. She is considering sending out a questionnaire for appropriate names. Certain qualifications are made for the moniker. “It must be a decent, self respecting name, for the puppy is really a wise rascal. He’s as suming all the ear-mark's of age for he’s lost one tooth and is cutting another.” A name—a name. Who has itl TOUR IS SCHEDULED FOR MUSICAL GROUPS Plans will be completed during the week-end for the appearance of the University orchestra, direct ed by Rex Underwood, in Portland, St. Helens and Longview, Wash ington. The lorganizatipn) {accom panied by the two glee clubs, who will appear in Salem, Albany and Portland, will leave Eugene, Mon day, March 23. The program, said the director, while of strictly a good type of music, will not bore, and it does not take a person of musie ap preciation to enjoy it In other words it has a popular appeal. The numbers on the program are well selected, presenting enough variety to appeal to all musie tastes, from the more classical “ Hungarian Baphsody No. 2" by Liszt, to seve ral small light numbers taken from the “Chocolate Soldier” and other light operas. Hr. John Landsbury, dean of the sehool of musie and pianist of renown, will be the solo ist for the concerts and will be heard in several delightful num bers. Among other numbers on the program will be the “Raekozey March,” arr. Liszt and several standard overtures. The orchestra is considered by many music critics the best organi zation of its kind on the Pacific coast. It is composed of over thirty people who are all experi enced musicians, and who are vi tally interested in music of _ this I type EXPERT SPERKS TO T. W. GROUPS Technicalities of Leading Discussions Is Subject Of Talk By Grace Louks LIFE NEEDS CONSIDERED Mias Grace Looks of New York, expert on discussion group work, is now conducting conferences on the campus with leaders of the Y. W. C. A. and other chosen mem bers. Miss Louks is speaking to two groups, one composed of girls who have shown promise in ac tivities and the other of girls who are now leaders. With the former group she talked of campus prob lems and equipment for life as gained on the campus. Technical ities of leading discussions were brought up in the other meeting. “The biggest question, putting it generally, which I find people are asking themselves today is ‘how am I going to live in the world’,” said Miss Louks. So many things happen today that it is hard to keep up, she pointed out. The group discussed what sort of equipment a person needs to live. Adaptability to environment, broad-mindedness, appreciation of people and nature and of past achievements, ability to profit by what has been done before, inter est in things outside of self, focused aim, enthusiasm, ability to judge right and wrong, good sense of values, and use of leisure time were mentioned as things which one should have to meet life. Then the chief difficulties of car rying out these things in college were brought up. The group agreed that the chief trouble was lack of time, due to taking part in too great a number of activities. It was decided that college girls should eenter their interest in two or three activities, thereby insur ing themselves more leisure time, (Continued on page four) John Henry Nash And Wife to Be On Campus Next Week John Henry Nash writes that he and Mrs. Nash are driving up from San Francisco and will be here either Wednesday or Thurs day of next week to spend the rest of the week visiting the Uni versity. Dean Eric W. Allen, of the school of journalism, has been receiving many inquiries from librarians, book lovers and print ers as to whether other people besides newspaper editors would be admitted to Mr. Nash’s talk, and Dean Allen in answer ex tends an invitation.to all who are interested, and says if it is neces sary Mr. Nash’s address will be given in a larger hall to accom modate the crowd. ADDRESS ON RELIGION IS GIVEN DY DR. REBEC “Man’s religious aim is to iden tify himself with his highest ideal,” declared Dr. George Rebec, dean of the Graduate School, in an address on the philosophical view of relig ion, in Alumni hall last night. “Man is naturally an idealist. That is, his every desire and im pulse contains a program of things as they ought to be,” he explained. “The tendency is to strive towards an inclusive ideal, or soul ideal. Likewise, since he is a part of an environment, he has ideals of that environment. That is the world. His universe becomes a divine be ing. Ont of the two ideals emerges hig religion. His striving is to identify his soul ideal with his God ideal.” Because these ideals and this striving to guaranty the security of these ideals are so inate in man is reason enough for a rational faith in their truth, according to the speaker. “That is,” he declared, “man is justified in holding them as a postulate, even though they ean not be validated by reason di reetly.” LINE-UPS FOR BIG GAME Oregon Position 0.

Will Start Regular Line-up; Students Must Have Tickets to Enter GAME STARTS AT 5 P. M. Doors of Armory to Open At 4 O’clock; Increase In Seat Capacity Made It is absolutely necessary for students to take their student body tickets to the Co-op and receive a 50 eent student body ticket to the game for this af ternoon. No one will be admit ted without a ticket. This rule also applies to Order of the "O” lettermen. However, their section will be saved for them providing they have a ticket. Students |will use the Oak street entrance on west side of the armory both for admittance and exit. The doors open at 4 o’clock. 1,500 seats and 500 standing-room places have been allotted to students. By Wilbur Wester (Assistant Sport Editor of The , Emerald) Accomplishing the almost-impos sible, Coach Billy Reinhart has suc ceeded in taking his team victori ously through a strenuous road trip and placed the quintet in the front as a championship contender. This afternoon at 5 o ’clock, the Lemon Yellow will attempt to gain further laurels by defeating the Ag gie hoopaters in the first of a three game series to settle a tie for the title of the northern sec tion of the Pacific Coast basket ball conference. Both Oregon and O. A. C. have ended the scheduled season in a tie, winning six out of eight games. Oregon set a rather outstanding record by not losing a coast confer ence game off her own floor. Large Crowd Expected The doors to the armory will be thrown open at 4 o’clock and ath letic authorities have expressed a belief that one of the largest crowds that ever attended a Eugene hoop contest will be "resent te wit ness the encounter between the leading quintets of the west. By reorganizing the seating ar rangement at the armory, Jack Benefiel has increased the capacity of the place to about 3,000 specta tors. Two new rows of seats have been placed on the floor increasing the number of reserved seats. The second game of the present scries will be played at Corvallis on Saturday night at 7:30. Should it be necessary to play a third con test, the tilt will be staged at either the Willamette gym at Sa lem or at the Multnomah club floor at Portland. Tickets are Fifty Cents Yesterday afternoon the Califor nia hoop quintet wired athletic directors of both Oregon and O. A. C. that they will leave for the north to play for the title next week. The final championship series will probably be played on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The place where these games will be played rests between three floors; Portland, Corvallis, or Eugene, depending directly on the outcome of the present contests. The prices for the contest tonight are fifty cents for students; $1.00 and $1.25 for reserved tickets which can be secured at Obak’s. The probable .(starting combina tion of the contesting quintets will no doubt be as follows: Hobson and Gowans will start at forward with Okerberg at center.
