Welcome of Hoopers Enthusiastic Varsity Accorded Hospital ity on Tour; Victories Cause no Over-Confidence in Men. m By HAROLD MANGUM The Oregon varsity basketball team, a little tired but happy to be back, arrived in Eugene yester day noon, and was greeted by a small, but enthusiastic band of rooters who braved the rain and the thought of missing their lunches to see Coach Reinhart’s victorious hoopsters. All of the men are in excellent shape, with the exception of Hobson, who is still slightly bothered by an injured foot that is slow to respond to treatment. * « * Coach Reinhart characterized Washington as the toughest antag onist they faced on the entire trip, Idaho as the biggest, Washington State as the fastest, and Montana as the weakest. Few substitutions ■were made in the first and last -two games, because there was no opportunity. The contests were so close that a few slips and a few "baskets might have turned the tide of victory. Idaho netted four points in the last minute of play, and the Cougars slipped in three baskets in a like period. * * » The players are enthusiastic about -the treatment accorded them during -their invasion. Each game was play ed before a packed house, with standing room at a premium. The attitude of the crowds was the fair est possible. The Washington game was the closest as the game was twice tied, once in the last stages of the contest. * • » The Huskies held their own until the very end, when the superior con dition of the Webfooters prevailed, and a safe lead was piled up. The "Washington supporters were espe cially fine in their treatment of the varsity. While of course rooting for their home outfit, they appear ed glad to see Oregon win. , * » * Some rather caustic remarks werd made regarding the Idaho floor. This has been a much mooted ques tion, and it is possible that some action will be taken at the next conference meeting. The playing space is smaller than the average high school gym, and the seating arrangements are so made that the crowd encroaches on the floor from all sides. In addition there is a faulty lighting system which makes both baskets dark and obscures the ball while it is in the air. It is a common occurrence for the wind to whistle through the crannies. The structure is even older than the Oregon gym. * * * The players are far from cocky, for they have nothing to be cocky about. They had the advantage of being better conditioned and more experienced than their opponents, but this superiority is fast waning, as the other teams are acquiring experience and confidence. Toward the end of the season it will be a matter of the team winning that happens to be “on” and gets the breaks. • • » Miles and Eeamer of Idaho are a pair of cagers who will make it in teresting for all comers, according to Eeinhart. The Washington State Cougars have one of the fastest ag gregations ever collected on a bas ketball court. Doc Bohler has com pletely revolutionized the style of play employed by the Pullmanites. They now use a system that com bines the Oregon and O. A. C. types of offense and defense. They may prove real dark horses. Montana has been exceedingly slow in get ting started, but they will be hard to beat on their home court from now on. ATTENTION ! All freshman managers report to day at 9 o’clock at the armory. I Late Payments of Fees Begin This Noon with Penalty Affixed Have you paid your fees? Four hundred students now at tending classes in the University lave not and must pay them at the administration building today be fore noon or pay the late penalty of :hree dollars. Bequests from University offi :ials for early fee payment have rone unheeded as late last night nore than one seventh of the stu lent body had failed to respond to ;he urging and will be forced to wait in line Saturday. Students are warned against issu ing checks against their accounts in the hurry of last minute payment unless their bank balance is suffi dent to cover the check. A re turned check is the same as non payment and the person issuing it will be considered the same as one who has not paid, and besides the particulars of the case will be en tered in his University record. THREE SOLOISTS ON Cellist, Violinist and Trom ' bonist to Play Three soloists of rare ability and talent will be featured by Rex Un derwood in the annual University orchestra concert next Tuesday eve ning in the Woman’s building. Lora Teschner has made an en viable record as a eellist while con nected with the University. She is a graduate of the University of Oregron in the School of Music and at present is a member of the fac ulty, instructing in cello. She has appeared in recitals and concerts during her University career, and has made herself one of the most popular musicians on the campus. This will be her last season in Eu gene, as she plans to resume her study in New York at the end of the school year. For the past two seasons Nina Warnock has delighted Eugene aud iences with her violin playing. She will appear next Tuesday evening as a soloist. There are few stu dents who have attained such a high degree of technique and de lightful interpretation of violin music as Miss Warnock. The newest member of the or chestra to attain the rank of solo ist is Elliot Wright, and in Mr. Underwood’s opinion he is an ex ceptional trombonist. He will make his first appearance next Tuesday. INTEREST IN TALKS AT “Y” HUT GROWING Interest seems to be growing in the class in comparative religions conducted every Sunday afternoon at the “Y” hut, and with the class increasing every meeting, Henry W. Davis, director of the United Chris tian Work on the campus, and lead er of the class, feels greatly en couraged. Last Sunday 30 were present. > The topic for discussion next Sun day is Jainism, the next to the oldest religion in India, and the only religion in the knowledge of Mr. Davis that has no God. It is, he says, a religion of extreme as eetiscism, and was founded by Ma Navera in 500 B. C. Tlje class is meeting from three to four o’clock §very Sunday af ternoon at the “Y” hut, is a handy drop in class for those who are not connected with other classes. It is open to both men and women, stu dents and townspeople. PAUL KRAUSE RETURNS FOR FOUR DAYS’ VISIT Paul Krause, a student on the campus last year in the drama de-! partment, and a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity, was a visi tor on the campus recently. He arrived Sunday, and left yesterday morning for Portland, where he has a position with the Union Oil com pany. He has directed several Washington high school plays, and at present is directing “The Ad mirable Crichton,” by James Barrie. | PHI BELT CHEW WIHS 23 POINTS Sigma Chi Squad Comes Next With 17 Scores in Intramural Splash Kappa Sigma, Beta Theta Pi Tie for Third Place With 5 Markers for Each Team Before a small, but appreciative crowd, Phi Delta Theta -mermen) swam, splashed, paddled, and dived to the inter-fraternity champion ship of the University in the intra mural meet held in the Woman’s building pool last night. Phi Delta Theta scored 23 points to the 17 of Sigma Chi. Kappa Sigma and Beta Theta Pi tied with five each for third place. Last night’s meet was full of enthusiasm from the starting gun. The meet was close throughout with the Phi Belts taking an early lead which they retained throughout the meet. Phi Delta Theta and Sigma Chi had men entered in all events while Friendly hall, Phi Kappa Psi and Beta Theta Pi were represent edby only one swimmer. Kappa Sig ma had two men entered. Time is Fast A fairly fast time was made in the 40 yard dash which was won by Larson, Phi Delta Theta, fir^t; Dixon, Sigma Chi, second; and Boy don, Kappa Sigma, third. Time 22 seconds. In the dives, Frank Riggs, Beta Theta Pi placed first, McGee, Kappa Sigma, second; and Hoblitt, Phi Kappa Psi, third. The 100-yard dash free style was easily captured by Greulieh, Phi Delta Theta, first in 1:11; Slauson, Sigma Chi, second; and Van Atta, Friendly hall, third. The 40-yard backstroke was one of the most ex citing races of the meet. Finley, Sigma Chi, and Fletcher, Phi Delta Theta, swam a close and well-timed race with Finley first with only a few inches to spare. McGee, Kap pa Sigma, came in third a few feet behind the first two. Finley’s time was 28.1 seconds. Eaces are Close McGregor, Phi Delta Theta, and Bill Peek, Sigma Chi, swam a close race in the 40-yard breaststroke with McGregor gaining on the turn and winning in 29.1 seconds. The 80-yard relay turned out to be a close race with Phi Delta Theta and Sigma Chi entering teams of four men. The first three laps were about par each team about even. The fourth and last lap proved vic torious for the Phi Delts, winning in 42 seconds. The officials for the meet were: Don McCook, starter; Eugene Bieh mond, announcer; Jimmie Johnson, clerk of course; Harry Scott, Bob Gardner and Perry Davis, judges; Don Parks and Dale Ickes, timers; Ed Abercrombie, referee; Harry Scott,.referee of diving; Eugene Kichmond and Don Parks, judges of diving; and Boland Belshaw, scorer. MANILA TRIBUNE READ BY FILIPINO STUDENTS If all University students read the newspapers with as much in terest as the Filipinos read the Manila Tribune they would know more about vehat is going on off the campus. The Filipino students recently made arrangements to have the Manila Tribune sent to the University library, and accord ing to the assistant librarian they spend a great deal of time reading it. The Manila paper is a daily, but the copies arrive on an average of about once a week, depending upon the mail service from the Philip pines. The assistant librarian in charge of the newspapers have been unable to determine what day the papers will come but she believes that the Filipinos have figured it out as they are always in the read ing room that day. Yell King Holds Service Record for Four Years as Aide, Leader Fred Martin, who is Oregon’s hard working yell leader, is the first Oregonian to hold a position on the yell staff for four consecutive pears. Away back in 1922, Art Rose braugh was elected yell-king and staged try-outs. The results were so unsatisfactory that only one can didate was able td pass muster, but he was a freshman and therefore impossible. Two former yell-kings, Clair Keeney and Del Oberteuffer, were in school, however, and came to Rosebraugh’s assistance. Fred Martin, the freshman, was carried as an aide. The next year found him again assistant, aiding Jack Myers. He was yell-king the next year, and last year was reelected, thus weld ing an unbroken chain of four an nums with the big megaphone, dur ing which time he served under three separate coaches. “Slim” Crandall, something like seven feet high, once held this position for three consecutive years. Martin has had a hard job, and has handled it well. He has had to fight all the time—fight everybody, even his own crowds. He has ac companied the team on trips with never a cent of renumeration. Help him break the “Oskies” tonight. VARSITY MERMEN DIVE INTO SEASON TONIGHT Strong Winged “M” Team First Aquatic Opponent In the initial swimming meet of the season the University of Ore gon mermen, 12 in number, leave this morning at 11:10 for Portland to meet the strong Multnomah Club team. Tonight’s paddling contest will not be an easy one for the varsity. In fact, Coach Ed Abercrombie will be satisfied with the winning of two events. In the tryouts Thurs day evening, several good records were made, but the majority was lower than expected. The Winged “M” aggregation is composed mainly of stars. Three members of the team are former varsity luminaries, George Hors fall, Ben Lombard and Art Erick son. In a recent Portland champ ionship meet held in the club tank, Horsfall broke the city 220 yard dash record when he swam this dis tance in 2:38 4-5. The former rec ord was held-bv Ted Alonen at 2:40 1-5. Art Erickson will swim the backstroke for the clubmen. Ben Lombard' will be seen in aetion in the 50 and 100 yard dashes. Jwo ex-Aggie aquatic stars are listed on the club’s roster, Orville Peterson and Ben Carpenter. Peterson is holder of the state record in the 50 yard dash which he swims in 25 seconds, flat. The Oregon varsity splashers will be handicapped to a certain extent by the loss of Bob Gardner and Don McCook who have been troub led with infections. Gardner is an experienced backstroke# from last year’s team and McCook is from last year’s yearling team. The men making the trip and events to be entered are: 50-yard dash, Hering and Greulich; 100-yard, Hering and Larson; Dives, Byerley and Kiggs; 150-yard backstroke, Dixon and Woodworth; 200-yard breaststroke, Sinclair and McGregor; relay, tier ing, Larson, Greulich and Stone and Medley, Boggs, sole entry. Coach Ed Abercrombie and Jimmie John son, manager, will accompany the team. SENIOR IN CHEMISTRY REENTERS UNIVERSITY Alden Klotz of Weiser, Idaho, Renior in the department of chem istry has reentered the University after an absence of several wyeks. He was called home due to the ill ness and death of his mother. BUM TO BE CAMPUS VISITOR IS POSSIBILITY University Hopes to Bring World Famed Sculptor for Student Lecture Series Designer of the Confederate War Memorial on Stone Mountain is Also Painter Gutzon Borglum, world famous sculptor, painter, author, notorious for the part he played in the “un civil” war which occured when ho was released from his duties as sculptor of the great Confederate Memorial on the side of Stone Mountain near Atlanta, Georgia, is. now being viewed as a probable visitor to the campus sometime dur ing the latter part of February. If the University is successful in mak ing the arrangements with Mr. Bor glum he will visit here on a lec ture tour. This noted sculptor who is often termed a wild westerner by virtue of his state of birth which is Idaho. His fiery temperament has given him a position in American sculpturo comparable to the position of Theo dore Roosevelt in American poli tics. The latter comparison was made by W. Frank Purdy, director of the school of American sculpture in New York. Influence Noticeably Felt “Although there are some people who do not agree with him and who do like his work, he is a great man and his influence will be felt throughout the country,” declares Professor Avard Fairbanks, instruc tor in sculpture in the University. “His conception of men in the Stone Mountain memorial shows him to be a man of great creativo genius,” he added. Professor Fair banks knows Mr. Borglum person ally and states that he haB a fas cinating character and is himself, an admirer of Mr. Borglum’s art. Most people have heard about his , memorial at Stone Mountain but at the present time he is working on a memorial for Newark, New Jersey, which is called a “Memorial to the Wars,” and which is as equally great in its conception as the Stone Mountain memorial but which is not as large. Paintings Exhibited in Parte I As for a bit of Mr. Borglum’s his tory, ho studied art in San Fran cisco and later jn Paris. Ho has exhibited as a painter and sculptor in the Paris Salon. He spent a year in Spain and several in France and England. He has held successful exhibitions abroad and ho is a gold medalist. COMMITTEE TO REPORT ON STATUS OF NORMS A committee, of whom Mr. F. L. Stetson is chairman, is reorganiz ing and working upon the norms, and will give it’s report to the fac ulty meeting to be held next week. It has been found by experience that the present norms, subjects that a student is supposed to know and be able to teach besides his j major, are too heavy and leave the student no electives. K. READE ADDRESSES GIRLS’ COMMISSION “The negro asks only to be left j alone, and with tolerance and our i help, he will develop and improve j immeasurably,’’ said T^atherine ' Keade, a senior major in sociology, j who discussed “the Negro Ques tion” at the Freshman Girls’ Com mission meeting held in the Y. W. C, A. Bungalow Thursday afternoon, j She cited a negro, Kingsley, who 1 “told of the resentment in the col ! ored man’s mind when he thinkB of i the white man’s altitude.’’ Ac- j cording to him, the negro has al ways been caricatured and made fun of. She advocated that an op portunity be given him to show what he is capable of. Mary Harney played two piano solos which received enthusiastic applause. There was no business taken up at the meeting. Men Outnumber Oregon Women by 18 Per Cent; Record Growing The number of men over women an the campus has been steadily in creasing for the past three years until this year there are 18 per cent more men than women, according to the annual report just given out by the Registrar ;s office. The report shows that three years ago the men were already predominating by 10 per cent. Last year they raised their lead to 16 per cent, and this >'ear to 18 per cent. In 1923-4 the excess of men over women was 122; in 1924-5, 208; in 1925-6, 226. Men even exceed in numbers in every one of the four University classes, among the grad uate students, E. B. U. students, all three classes in the law school, and law specials. The only group in which the women exceed is the arts specials. There are 17 women in this group against 15 men. SHORT STORY CONTEST DEADLINE EXTENDED February 15 Set as Final Date for Entries Due to tho fact that so few man uscripts have been handed in, the Edison Marshall Short Story con test is to be extended from the original date of Feburary 1st to the 15th according to W. F. G. Thach er, professor in the school of jour nalism, who has charge of the con test. No further extension of time will be made even though thore are only two or three stories to com pete for the prize of 50 dollars. All manuscripts must be typed double space on one side of tho paper only. The name of the au thor is on no account to appear on the story. An envelope with the name of the story on the outsido is to be handed in with the story. The writer’s name is to be placed on a piece of paper in this envelope. Stories should not be folded or rolled. This contest is an annual one, and the prize is offered by Edison Marshall, well known writer of short stories. The 50 dollars was won last year by Doris Parker, ’25. 19 PASS INDIVIDUAL GYMNASIUM TESTS Nineteen of the 212 students who were assigned to the individual gymnasium classes last fall term have been passed to the regular gymnasium classes. At the end of last term during examination week a test was given for tho first time to test the muscles in which this class of students are especially weak. Those passing tho examina tion were transferred to regular classes. When the work started in the fall, each student on an average, was 12 pounds underweight. At the end of the term, tho average was 5 1-2 pounds underweight. Foot work is being done by thirty of the group. OREGON SQUAD TO FACE HUSKY Webfooters Will Battle With Northern Basketeers At 7:30 in the Armory . i-Tun Visitors Have One Veteran In Lineup, Captain Hale Who is Playing Last Year By HAROLD MANGUM Tentative Lineup: Oregon vs Washington Hobson .f... Schugs Gunther .f... Gross Okerberg .c. Brobst Westergren .g. Hale Jost .g. Dahlquist Time of game: 7:30. Time of halves: 20 minutes. Officials: Bill Mulligan, Spokane. Ralph Coleman, O. A. C. Oregon’s league-leading basket eers will take up the strife with Washington tonight where they left off last Saturday night and where the gridstors finished Thanksgiving day. From all indications, tonight’s affair in the armory will be neek and-neck, and that has no reference to davenports or pink teas. The Aggie-beaten Huskies must win to remain in the running, and the Webfeet must do better than draw to keep their standings. Husky Defense Tight The Washingtonians are fast and resourceful and have the best de fensive oufit in the circuit. They lost last week because their shoot ing was entirely off form—they couldn’t hit the backboard with a. charge of buckshot. Coach Rein hart stated yesterday that if Ore gon had faced Washington at the end of its road trip instead of the beginning, the result would have been much less gratifying. The varsity went through a stiff workout last night on the armory court, devoting most of its atten tion to perfecting plays destined to puncture Washington’s tight de fense. Arrnie Kiminki and Verl Flynn have shown much improve ment, and took their regular turns in the first lineup last night. Several Have Experience Captain (Hatton Hale, of the in vaders, is the only regular from last* year, although A1 Sehuss worked in with Frayne and Heskcth at for ward. Bob Brobst, their center, is from the frosh team of two year’s ago, but did not play last year. While not a particularly tall man, he jumps like a Moxican jumping bean. Dick Gross, who pairs with Sehuss in the forward beats, is from last year’s super-varsity, r •Tack Dahlquist, the fifth Husky who handles a guard assignment, is from the yearling team of 1925. Jewell and St. John, lettermen, are on the bench, together with James, Van Stralen, Johnson, and SuomV la. James and Van Stralen were fighting it out for Gross’ berth early in the season, but the latter came from behind and beat them both out. COSMETICS ON CO-EDS’ CHEEKS AROUSE ANIMOSITY OF PROFS The “high cost of living” isn’t worrying pa half so much, these (lays, as the “high cost of cosme tics.” AnJ besides the expense, there is the deceit involved. One fond parent went so far as to be lieve that the blushing cheecks and rosebud lips of his college-girl daughter resulted from an improved ; digestive system and more hours ; of sleep, when in reality the mar velous 'improvement was effected ! by a new kind of weather proof rouge. Some college professors who are j on pa’s side in this struggle are i considering violent measures of re form. Extreme cosmetics, along with the more immediate effects, »re generally supposed to ruin wom an ’s beauty. Considering all of these alarming evils those on the opposition think it was time some thing drastic should be attempted. “Shall we forbid rouge and pow der, entirely, in our educational In stitutions?” they are pondering, or merely “that discretion shall be used!” If all cosmetics are abol ished, think, for a moment of the hundreds of shiny nosed and pale cheeked co-eds. Nol That out of the question. And if discre tion is the only check—there is dis cretion, and discretion. Then, too. there is the co-ed, to be considered, ss it is entirely likely she herself would take a hand is the discus sion. Anyway, something is brewing, though so far, everyone is perfectly safe, as the discussion hasn’t reach ed the mob or riot stage. The only actual steps so far taken are those of one instructor who has decided to allow his class members to write a paper on the wisdom of common usuage of cos metics by college girls. The “find ings” of this experiment are bound to be interesting.
