' VOLUME XXVII UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE SATURDAY, JANUARY 9, 1926 NUMBER 55 CAPTAIN McEWAN ARRIVES TOD A Y: CAMPUS TO GREET FOOTBALL COACH Northwest Hoop Outlook Is Summarized Other Teams Are Strong But Edge Favors Web footers; 0. A. C. Dope Indicates Good Season By H. M. A survey of the teams that will vie for northwest basketball honors this winter finds Oregon in an ad vantageous position with five let termen and a host of gbod substi tutes. Barring accidents, the Web footers should be high in the run ning, and finish one-two. Men like Okerberg, Westergren, Hobson, Jost, and Gunther would delight any bas ketball mentor. * * * O. A. C., 1925 leaders, lost four first-stringers but there is ev ery reason to believe that they will finish high, and may possibly dup licate their previous success. Cap tain Loris Baker is back at for ward, and will again serve as king pin of the Aggie percentage sys tem. From present indications, Fred Diwoky will pair with Baker in the forward berths, with Bill Burr and Bay Graap as guards. Pinkerton will play center. Graap and Diwoky are 1925 subs. Burr, a graduate from last winter’s fresh-1 man team, is a comer, and deadly I accurate under opposing (basl^ejts^ I Pinkerton is a senior without pre-1 vious experience, but his height and reach admirably fit him for the tip- j off position. Coach Hager has spent i a great deal of time with his squad, i and the men look fine. I On paper, Washington does not appear to be up to previous stand ards. The Huskies have been en- i joying considerable success with Se-! attle City League teams, but this opposition is weak. Gratton Hale, the only regular left, is captain, and will play one guard, probably pairing with Johnny Dahlquist. Johnson and St. John will be .un derstudies. Earl Jewell, a 1925 sub, has been working at center, with Propst in reserve. A1 Schuss, let “terman, has one forward cinched, while Francis Van Strelen and Alfie James are contending for the other berth. “Watch Idaho” is the sentiment ' that has been going the rounds among coaches. Idaho started in with green men last year, and was ' coming like a prairie fire when the season ended. The iVandals em ploy an attack much like that of the Aggies, minus the stalling tac tics. If they can start in where they left off, they will make ev erybody hustle to beat them. Their squad suffered a severe loss when big Erickson, their reg ular center, broke his leg in foot- 1 ball, and was lost for the maple court season. However, they are grooming a long boy named Kyle for the place, and have Nelson, a ' corking good guard, in reserve for the pivot job. Nedros and Miles, last year’s regulars, will be back for the front assignments, with Jacobs as alternate. Lamphere and Canine will divide the guard du ties with Nelson. Fields is also a guard prospect. * * * The Washington State Cougars, as usual look mediocre, and will continue, to do so until Doe Bohler catches up with the modern trend of the game. They have a number of lettermen on tie job, but have been taking regular trimmings from neighboring semi pro outfits. Mor gan, 1925 forward, and Gehrke, ex center, are playing the guard posi tions, but are encountering opposi tion from Smith and Averill, soph omores. Brumlay, a new man, is at center, with Burpee and Nol lan, lettermen, in the running. Nol lan is a potential star in either a center or forward berth.

Webber Are Authors Of Single - Act Dramas Three original one-act plays are to be produced sometime the mid dle of this term by the Guild Thea tre company. This is the first time that plays have been presented on the University of Oregon stage that were written by the students. The plays were written by members of Mrs. K. H. Ernst’s play writing class. “The Kiss,” written by Kee Buchanan, is a comedy. The scene is at dusk. A silver light is shin ing through the two long windows and the door, making the scene quite bright. The white pillars of the porch and shrubbery cast deep shadows here and there on the dark green lawn and gravel green walk. “The Kiss” is Comedy The leading characters are Cyn thia, age 15, and Koxy, age 13. The two girls are standing outside the window watching their 20-year old sister entertaining a beau, and with the hope of the “teens” they wish they were 20 also. It is a light comedy, which brings out very ef fectively a “much human” phase of life. “The Kingdom of America,” by Helen Webber, is also a comedy. | The scene, as the title implies, is laid in America. The characters (Continued on page three) HOUSEHOLD COURSE PLANNED FOR MEN Upholding modern freedom of conversation concerning marriage, Miss Lilian Tingle, head of the de partment of household art, has un folded a plan to admit men to a course hitherto open only to women. This course, now called household management, she would enlarge and' rename economic problems of the household. By allowing and encouraging dis cussion between men and women en rolled in such a course, Miss Tingle believes that the students would learn the opinions and attitudes of the opposite sex about household difficulties, and so be better pre pared to take over the management of a home. In this way, Miss Tingle thinks the course would prompt a proper respect and understanding of the attitude of the marital partner to ward economic problems of the home. Besides helping a person in mar riage, greater personal efficiency in handling one’s own affairs would be reached. Miss Tingle declares that she would include what the in dividual should know "about the cost of living. So far, no definite arrangement for such a course has been made. TEACHERS CHANGE CLASSES Prof. George Turnbnll, a member of the school of journalism faculty, is to teach the Portland extension class in newswritng this term every Friday evening. Prof. (Ralph D. Casey had the class in newswriting at Portland last term. VESPER SERVICE JAN. 17 The first vesper service this term will be Sunday, January 17. The program will be announced later. There will be no service next Sun day. i Van Doren List of Twenty-Eight 1925 Best Books Put in Library A list of “the 28 interesting books of 1925, selected by Mark Van Doren, is posted at the li brary circulation desk. Some of the books on this list are on the rent collection and seven-day shelf; the others are chtalogiied in the general collection. “Two Lives,” by William El lery Leonard, named in this list, is a book which has receive^ a great deal of comment. The New York Times says of the author: “He is a scholar and a thinker, and his poetry reflects both scho larship and thought. But these weightier materials are irradi ated with a fine play of color and light and rqjnlered less pon derable by the author’s graceful lyricism.” Some other books listed are: “The New Negro,” by Alain Locke; “A Chinese Mirror,” by Florence Ayscough; “Skin for Skin,” by Llewelyn Powys; and “Dark Laughter,” by Sherwood Anderson. WELL TO APPEAR IN ROLE OF SHYLOCK Shakespearian Play To Be Presented Monday At the request of the English ind dramatic departments of the University, Robert B. Mantel!, not od Shakespearean actor, will pre sent “The Merchant of Venice,” as his offering from his repertoire, at the Heilig theatre Monday night, it is announced. Mr. Mantell can present but one play here, so he requested that this be named by University people and others interested. “The Merchant of Venice,” was the unanimous ohoice, since in this Mr. Mantell plays his most famous role, that of “Shylock.” Supporting Mr. Mantell will be the greatest cast of Shakespearean rotors ever assembled, it is stated. Genevieve Hamper heads this bril liant cast, in which are the names of John Burke, Elizabeth Zachery, Elwyn Eaton, Mary Glover, Arthur Fox, Theresa Larkin, Hfirry South orn, Bruee Adams, James Neill, and others. The company carries full scenery for the repertoire, and the settings ore as artistic and fitting as can be made. Mr. Mamtell has manifested a genuine interest in the University, bis advance manager states, since be is a personal friend of Fergus Reddie, former head of the (drama tics department here. College dra matics are to be depended upon for the survival of the really worth while drama, says Mr. Mantell, since the advent of so much musi oal comedy and theatricals of the lighter vein. This will be Mr. Mantell’s fare well tour, and will be the last time be will be seen here. JANUARY 20-30 DATE FOR PAYMENT OF FEES Already the students who have completed the registration require ments are beginning to think of still another requisite to University attendance, that of fee payment, with the announcement from the cashier *8 office that January 20 to 30 will be the official time this term for fee payment. A penalty of $3.00 fot the first day of late fee payment and an ad ditional charge of 25 cents for each extra late day will be added to. the fees of those students who fail to meet the time requirements.

VARSITY FACES CLUB HOOPSTERS AT MULTNOMAH Oregon Fans Offered First Opportunity to Watch Webfoot Team in Action Reinhart’s Men Declared In Fine Mettle; Anxious To Start Season With Win Tentative Lineups: Oregon ....vs.... Multnomah Hobson .f .Stinson Gunther .f .Froude Okerberg .c. Gowans Westergren .g. Cole Jost .g. Steele Oregon sports followers will have their first opportunity to teeo a 1926 team representing the Univer sity in action, when the Webfoot hoopsters tangle with the Multno mah cagers on the club floor at Portland this evening. Coach Billy Reinhart’s proteges are in fine fet tle, and anxious to start the new year off with a win. The following players are mak ing the trip: Howard Hobson, Algol Westergren, Charles Jost, Roy Ok erberg, Jerome Gunther, Ray Mur ray, Arnold ' Kiminki and Ray Ed wards. The first five are letter men. Multnomah is Strong Coach Ccivey, of the clubmen, has lined up a formidable aggre gation and will make every effort to halt the collegians. His men are cx-college players and each has had the allotted three years of par ticipation. Dick Stinson and Carlos Steele are former O. A. C. court captains and are anxious to renew the hos tilities in which they have shared in past years. Russ Gowans should need no introduction. Chet Froude is a former Univer sity of Washington star, while Irve Cole obtained his college experience in Kansas. All five of these men are long on experience, which of ten proves to be a valuable asset at this stage of the season. Men Show up Well Last night the first team lined up for scrimmage against a quin tet composed of Chiles, Beeney, Eberhart, Joy, and Hutchinson. With the exception of Chiles, these men comprised last year’s freshman combination, and have the advan tage of working together for a year. They took the offensive and tried everything in Ithe game—(ong passes, short passes, lonig shots, short shots, trickery, and power— with negligible results. Jost show ed up particularly well in the var sity’s defensive play. On the offense, the speed and team work were a revelation, show ing the benefits derived from the gruelling barnstorming expedition. Often a player, without looking, tossed the ball into a seeming open space, but a team mate appeared magically to receive it. Sometimes a player would fake a shot, feint a pass to a team mate, and then loop a goal. This takes quick thinking, quicker acting, and looks good from the sidelines. It is basketball. Okerberg gave a great exhibition of close-in work under the basket, seeming unable to miss the circlet. The entire team had its eye on the basket, and looped goals from all angles with the monotonous regu larity of hailstones hammering on a tin roof. When Captain McEwan arrives-1 | tomorrow, the best possible init- J j ial reception that can be given { j him wonld be an informal stu- j | dent welcome at the train. It { | would not be necessary or wise I | to have a rally. A student body | | to welcome him at the train' will \ | give him a mighty good first I | j impression of the type of school j [ he has to work with. Let's have i | a hundred per cent turnout. (Signed) Walter Malcolm j School of Arts Plans Jury Day Celebration For Exhibit of Work Students of the school of art and architecture are beginning to prepare for Jury Day, which will take place January 21.

STUFF BY Dearth of Pictures Noted in Humor Section The humor section of the 1926 Oregana will include many snap shots, but so far very few have been turned in. Anyono having snapshots of a humorous nature and wishing to contribute them should see Betty Cady, at her office, or call Bob Keeney, editbr of the hu mor section at 940. Also any other novel campus pictures will be wel comed. All new members of the Junior Week-end directorate are reminded to order -an extra folio for the Ore gana, at the Kennell-Ellis studio. There are a number of students who are juniors on the campus, but because all requirements for a jun ior certificate have not been filled, are registered as sophomores. Those students should see Alice Kraoft, or call her at 688, in order to have their pictures placed in the junior section. Students associated with honor ary organizations or committees, whose pictures are to appear in the year book, are urged to have therii taken for this purpose, if they are not connected with a campus living organization or have already done so. New students on the campus, as well as those who failed to at tend to it last term, must make their appointments for pictures at the Kennell-Ellis studio at once. Organizations that have spoken for space in the Oregana, but have not made their payments, are asked to have their checks in by January 15, the final date for reservations and payments. The art section still needs talent, and artists who wish to try their hands at such work as lettering, cartooning or designing are urged to see Wayne Leland. All work contributed will be carefully exam ined and judged. The new assignment chart will be ready for use Monday, and will be posted outside the Oregana of fice on the second floor of the jour nalism building for the benefit of staff members.

Zane, instructor it normal art, spent his Christmas int ention in a wav that was not only profitable to himself but to the school as well. A trip to San Francisco, with visits to the University of Califor nia and Stanford, proved enjoyable as well as very interesting, he de clared when interviewed. Professor Zane renewed old ac quaintances and made' new ones^ while he looked into the new ideaa of art and artists. “We like to keep the school in touch with the advancement of art and help it to advance too,” Pro fessor Zane stated. “Through my trip, I succeeded in having inter views and visits with some of the artists of the great art center, Ban Francisco.” At the two universi ties lie observed their methods of teaching art. Among the men he saw while in San Francisco were Maynard Dix on, an artist who specializes in dec orative studies of desert landscape and the picture phases of Indian life, and Arthur Mathey, whose de corations are found in the state cap ital and in court houses throughout the state.
