MT. WILSON OBSERVER INVENTS STAR CAMERA E. H. McAlister Explains Astronomers’ Work Astronomers, more than any other scientists, have to deal with the two extremes in quantity, tile exceedingly small and the enor mously great, says Prof. E. H. Mc Alister, of the astronomy and me chanics departments. Chemists and physicists, as is true of most scien tists, deal with the small quantity, but very rarely with both, A problem that has faced astron omers for years, and has only re cently been answered, Illustrates the greatest of quantity to be dealt’ with. The greater Magellanic Cloud, which is located in the southern hemisphere and is not vis ible from here, appears to bo only a small splotch in the sky, when viewed with the naked eye alone. Harlow Shaplev, director of the astronomical observatory at Har vard Hniversity, has recently an nounced that lie finds the diameter (>f this cloud of stars, which is one of the two clouds that were annul after the great Portuguese explorer, Magellan, to be 15,000 lighttyenrs in diameter. A light vear, the astronomers' measurement of distance, travels at the rate of 180,000 miles per sectoud. By a simple mathematical problem, the enormous distance in miles across the cloud can be found. A very few years ago, the whole universe was not believed to be so large, Professor McAlister points out. The other extreme ii. quantity is equally great. A very powerful light is necessary in order to ititer piet results of experiments in the laboratories, on account of the fact that the light shod from the stars is at an enormous temperature. The only light that can Ve used suc cessfully is the electric spark. It produces a very high temperature, for an instant only, and then is gune. Director Walter Adams of the Ajoiint Wilson Observatory has re cently perfected an instrument Svhreh will - produce, photographs iu a few, millionths of a second. With this instrument, a great many pho tographs can be made during the instant the spark lasts, according to Professor McAlister. A1 Sinclair Elected Football Captain At Banquet Last Night (Continued from page one) ions parts of his talk. He spoke on athletic pets, the raise of scholar ship, the square deal on the grid , iron, football discipline and train ing. The scholarship of football play ers was an important point which the new coach stressed. “Student-ship consists of work,” he said, “in the class room, on the gridiron and in the general manner of living. It is of great import ance that every football player keep up his studies. There are cases whero the athlete who is ex traordinarily dumb in the class room is a good man on the athletic field—but remember those cases are exceptions. The material looks good but we will find out this spring how much they have above the neck, for that is just as important, in my opinion,” the coach added. Judge Welcomes Coach i Judge Skipworth, newest member of the board of regents welcomed the coach and reviewed the growth of Oregon. “In 1912 Oregon had 691 students, according to statistics of the growth of the University which I have been examining, and in 1925 the enrollment was more than 3000,” said Judge Skipworth. “That is a wonderful growth. The University has increased in influ ence and importance in the state. Bright days are ahead for athletics at Oregon.” Bob Mautz, retiring captain, told of the high praise that Ed Garbisch aj*d Gus Farwick, two cx-West : Point stars with whom ho played in the south, had for the new Ore gon coach. “A milestone has pass ed,” said Mr. Mautz. “Next sea son wo expect to go out and win our quota of games with the handi caps. We hope some day to say, ‘The east has its Hawley, the mid dle west, its Rockne and thfe west, its McEwan.' ” New Captain Speaks The new captain of the team urged every man who was physical ly able to respond to the first call by Captain McEwan for spring practice and to give him all the support possible. Sinclair played a tackle on the freshman squad of 1922, after first playing football at Leavenworth, Kan. He played center and full back on the varsity team of 1923 under Shy Huntington, but in 1924 was forced to remain idle on ac count of injuries. In 1925 he oc cupied his regular berth at tackle. Ho weighs more than 195 pounds and is six feet two inches in height. His scholarship in college has been extremely high. ■ ■ - REVIEW OF CRIMINAL CASES WILL BE GIVEN Prof. S. B.

REDUCED FROSH SQUAD BEGINS FINAL PRACTICE Don McCormick Reported Slowly Progressing This week marks the beginning of a final drive by Coach Earl “Spike” Leslie to whip his yearl ing basketball players into a for midable team. Hard and earnest work is in order every afternoon from now on until the opening of the intercollegiate season. Yesterday afternoon “Spike” had his men working on conditioning bars, practicing fundamentals, and giving them a general limbering up. Much time has been devoted to a player dribbling and then pivoting around the opposing player. Team plays will be extensively worked out. The squad will be divided and scrimmage against each other. The latest information concern ing Don McCormick is that his con dition is very encouraging. He is responding, well to the treatments, and although not out of danger, is expected to recover. McCormibJc became ill while on the barnstorm ing trip with the freshman baske teers on their recent trip to Port land, where they defeated Frank lin and Jefferson high school quin tets.

NEW BOOK BY MURRY PLACED IN LIBRARY “Pencilling,” by J. Middleton Murry, recently placed on the seven day shelf at the University libra ry, is a book of essays most of which are oriticisms of literature. Each chapter of the book deals with a different subject. While writing of book reviews Mr. Murry has said, “Nothing will give us so exact an idea of the quality of a book as a good sub stantial piece of the original text chosen as characteristic by some one who knows his business. No amount of descriptive epithets, of critical praise or blame will serve half so well as that.” Under the topic, “Beauty Hunt ing,” he has criticised or comment ed on all. the definitions a number of writers have given for finding this thing so desired. He gives Winston Churchill cre dit for having come the nearest to an adequate solution and quotes his following words; “If you want to catch a rat, take a dog to him. If you want to catch Beauty, take a dog to her. O, you infatuated poets, priests and philosophers who have, wasted two thousand years in paying your stammering suits to the lady of your desire, could you not see that her long delay was due to your own timidity?” MT. ANGEL MASTER TO TAKE DEGREE EXAM Medieval colleges {insisted t{hat candidates for a degree should be able to defend the disputation of their theses with a ready command of words amidst the quiek clash of personalities. ■Oregon is to witness a similar demonstration Thursday at two o 'clock when Father Odilo Ortmann will take the public oral examina tion for his master’s degree in room 108 of Villard hall before five examiners.
