Dr. Chase Well Known
Dr. Chase is one of the best
known of the younger university
presidents of the country. He is
only 43 years old, is tall and ath
letic in appearance and appears
youthful, despite his graying hair.
His record as an educator has
been almost without parallel. He
received an A.B. from Dartmouth in
1904, and four years later received
his M.A. from Clark university,
where he had specialized in psy
chology, philosophy and ’ education.
In 1910, he obtained his doctorate
in philosophy.
Dr. Chase then joined the faculty
of the University of North Carolina,
which is, incidentally, the oldest
state university in the United
States. His rise was rapid and in
1920, he was formally inaugurated
president of that school.

ELLINGER DRILLS
TEAM FIRST TIME
New Line Coach Puts Men
Through Practice
All football candidates turn out
today with head gears and
shoulder pads. Men who have
not turned out to date should
report today.
I - I
Harry O. Ellinger, veteran guard,
with four years of the West Point
football system behind him and a
year of coaching under Captain Me
Ewan, donned his football togs for
the first time yesterday and drilled
Oregon’s future linesmen in funda
mentals during the afternoon.
He arrived last Saturday from
Florida where he has been playing
guard with the professional Jack
sonville All-Stars, a group of stars
that included in its lineup such men
as Ernie Nevers, Jim Lawson and
Si Williams.
Ellinger is an unusually versatile
athlete having played four years of
baseball, and was a member of the
swimming, and water polo teams.
He knows football _ thoroughly and
comes with the recommendation of
Captain McEwan.
The Athletic committee will
probably meet this week to arrange
details with Ellinger for his em
ployment as head line coach.
“Not enough men out! We want
more men out and we can take eare
of them,” said Captain McEwan
last night in issuing a call for more
men. There is a scarcity of men
reporting now and the turnout is
not as large as was expected.
Experience does not handicap any
man, according to both of the
coaches. What they want is to de
velop men. Any man who weighs
170 pounds or even less who thinks
he can do anything or would like to
try is wanted out on Hayward,
gridiron. Report to Captain Mc
Ewan in his office in the outdoor
gymnasium.
Headgears and shoulder pads will
be issued today for the first time.
Work begins this afternoon in
earnest and all candidates should
be out.
TRADER WILL LECTURE
TO PAN XENIA TODAY
J. W. Hartman, vice president
and secretary of the Customs Bro
kerage firm of the J. T. Steel and
Co., incorporated, who have offices
in Seattle, Portland and Tacoma,
with representation in every large
port over the world, will address
members of Pan Xenia, honorary
foreign trade fraternity, this af
ternoon at 4:15 in Boom 107, Com
merce building. The leeture is open
to all others who are interested in
foreign trade.
Mr. Hartman, who has spent 15
years in the actual study of for
eign trade and understands the
problems that the importer, and ex
porter is constantly called upon to
meet, will talk upon the subject
“The Problems of the Importer and
Exporter.”
The problems of the importer
and exporter as well as the steam
ship operator consist in the com
pliance with laws of the country,
and of the entire world with which
i they deal in his opinion.
GRADE AVERAGES
SHOW KAPPAS AT
HEAD DF ROSIER
Phi Kappa Psi Leads Men
In Scholarship; Sigma Pi
Tau in Second Place
Women’s Margin Over Men
Wide; New Rating Plan
Changes Status on List
Kappa Kappa Gamma headed the
list of all houses in scholastic av
erages for the fall term, according
to the house grade ratings which
have been compiled by the Regis
trar’s office. The rating was 46.541
with an average for the hours pass
ed of 2.733. Alpha Phi was second
with an average of 46.363, Delta
Gamma with 46.117 was third.
Phi Kappa Psi was first among
the men’s houses and twentieth on
the list with a 39.871 rating, and
Sigma Pi Tau was second with
39.783, Delta Tau Delta was third
with 38.428.
Women’s Average High
The average for all women’s
houses was 42.451 while that of the
men’s organizations was much low
er, being only 35.313. The average
for both men’s and women’s houses
is 39.106.
The prevailing tendency, accord
ing to the report, is for houses
carrying the largest number of
hours to be the highest in scholar
ship.
If the grade averages were fig
ured on the plan formerly in use
here, the two leading men’s houses
would have been farther up the list
than they are under the present
plan. Phi Kappa Psi would have
been moved up to sixteenth place
and Sigma Pi Tau would have been
moved up to sixth place.

Junior Skaters
to Hold Annual
“Skid” Saturday,
Winter Garden
Moleskins and autumn frosts are
usually synonymous, but Jim Fore
stel, head coach of the junior class
skating varsity is the magician who
changes the seasons as well as the
sports. Football, because it is a
gentle pastime like roller skating,
will form the background of the
party.
The annual junior class skating
party is planned for next Saturday
afternoon, February 13, from 2:00
to 4:00 o’clock at the Winter Gar
den skating rink. As roller skat
ing and "football produce the same
effect on clothes, campus attire will
be the prevailing fashion at the af
fair.

sistants of the ’27 skating grid
sters are: head coach, Jim Forestel;
line coach, Pete Ermler, trainer;
Doc Wrightman; nurses, Katherine
Graef and Thama Barnard; sports

PAPER IS PUBLISHED
BY EXTENSION CLASS
Portland extension division class
in elementary newswrtiting ppd^er
the direction of Prof. George Turn
bull of the school of journalism
has edited its first paper, the Port
land Center Star. The paper is put
out by a class of 10 students, and
has a circulation of between 2600
and 2700 students. Three papers
will be issued this term.
“The aim of the paper is to
unite the various departments of
the Portland Center and give stu
dents an opportunity to feel solid
ity and give contact,” said Mr.
Turnbull.
The Portland Center has little
chance for campus spirit, because
the students have nothing in com
mon except class room work. The
paper will help to relieve this con
dition.
m
FIGHTING VARSITY
DEFEATS COUGARS
STUDENTS PLAYS
WILL BE GIVEN
IN GUILD .HALL
“The Kiss,” On Thursday
Night, Will be First of
Original Productions
Bv BEE HARDEN
“The Kiss,” written by Kee Bu
chanan, is -the first of the three
original plays written by students
of Mrs. Alice Hlensen Ernst’s
playwriting class, which will be pro
duced by the drama and play pro
duction department in Guild thea
tre Thursday and Friday nights.
“The Athlete,” by Katherine
Kressman, and “The Kingdom of
America,” by Helen Webber, are
the other plays which will be pre
sented. These are the first dramas
written by students to be pro
duced on the campus.
“Ten minutes of adolescensation,
ten minutes of ‘When you and I
were seventeen ’ ”-—are the iponir
ments on “The Kiss.” Its scene
might be the broad steps of some
Southern mansion, with its white
pillars and wide colonial doorway.
Two little girls, Cynthia, age 15,
Florence Couch; and Roxy, age 13,
Etha Clarlc, are both very much
interested as to what is going on
in the house between the two shad
owy characters which are seen
through the door, and who arc
none other than Penelope, their
older sister, Elizabeth Talbot; and
her “beau,” Edgar Buchanan. The
time is early evening. The soft
glow of the lights through the door '
add to fantasy of the scene.
“The Athlete” is Dramatic
The most serious play to be pro
duced during the evening will be
“The Athlete,” which was written
by Katherine Kressman. The play J
has a note of tragedy, and takes
one back to the gladiatorial con
tests of Rome and Greece.
The scene is the curtained tent of
Celertis, the athlete, near the field
where the athletic games are go
ing on. It is the last day of tho
games, and the contests are nearly
over. All the characters are typi
cal of the time of Aristotle, and
their dramatic and poetic speech,
and the flowing draperies of tho
tent do much to make a picturesque
scone. Menas, the hurler of the
discus, is played by Thomas Mont
gomery; Pilus, thrower of the jave
lin, Arthur Gray; Celertis, the ath
lete, Cecil Matson; and Xora, tho
rubber for Celertis, Alfons Korn.
King Hunts Apartment
“The Kingdom of America,”
written by Helen Webber, is a far
cicial account of Americans, the 100
per cent variety. The whole atmos
phere of the play is futuristic. In
the prologue of the play we find a
king and queen and their “heirs”
looking for an apartment in a
twentieth century city. The King,
Edgar Buchanan; the Queen, Con
stance Roth, and their three chil
dren, Princess Clothilde, Katie Bu
chanan; Prince No. 1, Diana Dein
inger; and Prince No. II, Grace Pot
ter, walk hand in hand down the
street* in their weary searefc
for some place for a “king” to live.
They find the children a great# nui
sance for all apartments say “no
dogs or children allowed.”
Acts one and two take place in
the apartment of “royalty”—'act
two is six months later than act
one.
Other characters who, take part
in this “disillusion of royalty” in
America are the photographer,
Rahles Epping; delegate, Frances
Vaughan; stranger, William Forbis;
camera man, John McClellan; pil
lar, Vernon McGee; judge, Cecil
Matson; and delegates of the Twice
A-Month -Club, Norma Jane Mc
Clcary, Margaret Booth, Eleanor
Beckwith, Gertrude Hill, and Hazel
Kellems.
Ticket sale for the plays will be
gin today, between the hours of
1:00 and 5:00 this afternoon. All
seats will be reserved at 50 and 75
cents.
Science Building
Dedication Pays
Tribute to Name
of Dr. Condon
On the wall opposite the entrance
to Condon hall lecture room hangs
a photographic portrait of Dr. Tho
mas Condon, Oregon geologist. The
kindly, vivid eyef* of the scientist
caught the look of those who as
sembled in the lecture room Sat
urday evening to dedicate to the
memory of this man the first unit
of the new science building, on the
University of Oregon campus, which
was completed last spring.
This unit contains the geology
and psychology laboratories. The
heads of these departments spoke
of their research and teaching work
and of the influence of Condon and
other scientists for the realization
of the building. Dr. Edwin B.
Copeland, formerly dean at the
Collego of Agriculture, University
of the Philippines, addressed the
audience on “Science and Everyday,
Life.”
“We are here to memorialize a
great life,” Dr. Warren D. Smith
of the geology department said in
speaking of the man for whom the
new building is named. “Tonight,
we dedicate a temple to the search
of truth. Dr. Condon left one of
the rarest things in the world, a
legacy of intellectual honesty.”
“Spreading the gospel of scien
tific truth was Condon’s life work
and it was ably accomplished,” re
iterated Dr. Earl L. Packard, pro
fessor of paleontology, in speaking
of Dr. Condon’s work. “His inspir
ation will continue on and on,” he
prophesied. “The descriptions of
his few publications are vivid and
interested and have stimulated
others to search for the facts.”
The appreciation of Condon’s work
dawned on the world when his
specimens weije sent East in 18f>7.
Prom the John Day region and
alkalino beds of eastern Oregon Dr.
Condon collected bones of large and
small camels, lions, eoyotes, huge
sloths, aquatic birds, even of a flam
ingo. These bones give a glimpse
of the life of Oregon during the
Pliocene age. Dr. Condon also did
research work in marine fauna at
Newport.

By HAEOLD MANGUM
The old adage that the worm may
turn was forcibly borne out last
night on the Armory floor when the
slightly-rated Washington State
quintet unheralded from its Pull
man lair, came within an ace of
dislodging the league-leading Web
feet. After leading or closely trail
ing Oregon for three quarters of
the fray, they lost out in the last
few moments when the varsity un
corked a devastating basket bar
rage.
Oregon hold the ace. Jerry Gun
ther proved the winning factor,
and displayed his best game on the
Oregon court, bullying, smashing,
and eluding tho Cougars, and ring
ing up eight baskets for 16 points
and high point honors,
Long Shots Made
The Pullmanites displayed a elose
checking team, adept at long shots.
The invaders shot frequently from
past mid-floor, and sank a surpris
ing number of their tries. Brum
ley their bean-pole center, clung
to Okcrberg like a leech, but the
latter managed to sneak away long
enough to garner three baskets and
a foul throw. Brth teams tried
numerous shots, but most of them
were from long range. Oregon
dropped in but 13 baskets in 62
tries, which proved a slightly bet
ter average than the Cougars could
moke, as the latter sank bnt 10
got Is in 50 attempts.
The fray was exception illy rouge,
Washington State offending 17
tu.uv and Oregon nine. Oregon
made nine of these attempts good,
to three for thle Staters. Gehrke
was expelled for roughing Wester
gren late in the game. Hpnry and
, Westergren were dyi the danger
zone with three each.
Oregon Takes Lead
The Wlebfeet took an early lead
when Westergren converted Hen
ry ’s foul, and Jokt scored from
under the net, but this was soon
nullified when Henry and Gehrke
snared cripples in quiek ordfer, giv
ing the Cats a one point lead. Gun
ther took a pass from Okerborg and
gave Oregon the edge. Jost scored
from side court, Westergren again
tallied from the gift line, and Ok
erberg tossed in a pot shot, which
caused great consternation in tho
Pullman ranks and resulted in time
out.
The Cougars .crawled fwithin a
point of a tie when “Slim” Bnrpeo
scored, and ev)ened the score when
the latter sank Gunther’s hack.
Foul Shots Erratic
Gunther again cracked the tio
by ringing a long effort.. The half
jended with Oregon holding a three
jpoint margin. The foul ehooting
was miserable in this half, as Ore
gon could connect with the recep
tacle but three times in nine at
tempts. The varsity failed to abow
