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.

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.
Arrangements are now being
made for several practice games
with strong high school fives of the
state. There is some probability
that the strong Albany high hoop
ringers will be pitted against the

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?”
