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.”

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

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,

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.”

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 armory both for admittance
and exit. The doors open at 4

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. From
