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.

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’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.
