Oregon Leads North Section Of Conference Victory Over Corvallis, 32 To 17, Leaves Var sity on Top Second O. A. C. Game Will Decide Title Beavers are Scheduled For Hard Contest With Huskies Tonight Conference standings: Northern Section W h Pet. Oregon .9 0 1.000 O. A.

C.0 6 .000 A new week finds Oregon’s bas ketball team firmly entrenched in the leadership of the northern see tion of the Pa cific Coast Confer ence, by virtue of a convincing win I over the Aggies jat Corvallis last 'Saturday night 32 to 17. The Ore gonians now hold decisions over all the northern mem bers, and experts agree that it will Charles Jost take a miracle to keep them out ot the play-off in California. Thi|s week practically will clean ■up the schedule, as the remaining competition will be limited to O. A. C’s trip through the inland empire for games with Whitman, W. S. C. Idaho, and Montana. The Aggies have two games this week—with Washington at Seattle tonight and Oregon at Eugene, •and it will take all they have to break even. The Huskies also play Washington State-, and Idaho in their respective lairs and like the Beavers, must hustle to keep their heads above board. California appears to have a strangle hold on southern honors as the Cardinals bowed twice to the Nevada five over the week end, and the Bruins out-sliot the Trojans in Los Angeles, 23 to 16. Stanford and California will meet Saturday night in Oakland for the second of a three game series and iike Ore gon must win but one more tilt to cinch the southern section champ ionship. By showing a hole-proof defense, out-speeding, and out-shooting the O. A. C. netmen, Oregon’s hoop ringers established an undisputed claim to the northern leadership by conquering the Ags on their home floor, 32 to 17, Saturday night. The Webfooters worked steadily and confidently, piling up points at con sistent intervals. To give some idea of the tight ness of the Webfoot defense, the Beavers caged only six goals during the entire game. Four of these were from long range and two were from under the hemp. Burr pushed in a one-hander after Jost had foul ed him and Graap left his man for an un impeded tally—both after the tilt has been sewed up. The entire Oregon team function ed well, with “Duke” Okerberg particularly outstanding by his heavy scoring and Jost for the way in which he manhandled his fellow townsman, “Long Shot” Bill Burr. Hobson, Gunther, and Westergren opened the eyes of the Aggies by their speed and floor work. Captain Baker, of O. A. C. led his flock with three long baskets. The Lineups: Oregon (32) vs. (17) O. A. C. Gunther (6).f.(6) Baker Hobson .f.(4) Diwoky Okerberg (16).c. Pinkerton "Westergren (9)—g.(4) Graap Jost (1).g.*—(3) Burr Subs: O. A. C., Ward for Graap. Oregon, none. Officials: E. C. Hun ter, (Idaho), referee; Bay Brooks, (Portland), umpire. Different Ideals of Economic World Desired by Paul Blanshard, Lecturer “Wealthopia,” “Workopia” and “Poweropia” Form A Summary of Reformed Industrial Conditions “The object of the social sciences, such as economics and sociology, should be to build up, not only in picture, but in actuality, a more just world,” declared.. Paul Blan shard, field secretary of the League for Industrial Democracy, in ad dressing the varioup economics classes of the campus Monday morning on “Ideals of Labor.” And yet, a perfect society, he said, must almost necessarily be a Utopia of the economist, because in a large measure this individual preaches and helps bring about the vast machinery of large-jfelcale pro duction which is in its very nature detrimental to the good of the single laborer. The machine has ably assisted mankind by rapidity and cheapness of output, but there its good ends. The machine, the speaker contend ed, has made of man, a mere auto maton, who sits all day long doing one single, even ignorant act—for example, to use of his own demon strations, the stabbing of a hog every thirty seconds, as in the huge slaughter and packing yards in Chicago. Mr. Blanshard would create three ideals of the economic world in order to do away with, and counter act the present tendencies of eco nomics: “Wealthopia,” a world of more just distribution of money; “Workopia,” a world striving for a more just distribution of work; and “Poweropia,” a world in which la bor shall have more power. His Wealthopia would be fostered because of the present inequality of money as between individuals, as typified in New York’s Fifth Avenue and the poverty of the East Side. He bemoans that wealth is not based on merit—the rich man may not even have the brains that the slum laborer has. Discontent in America is created, he declared, by the relative dis tance of the man on the top of the social ladder from he who grovels at the bottom. Beal wages—that is, wages act ually in terms of what money can buy today, and what it could have bought yesterday—have come up only 28 per cent in America as com pared with a rise of 50 per cent in production in the last quarter cen tury, he showed. • It is this condi (Continued on page three) Forensic Head To be Honored Friday Night Stanley Houck, President Of Delta Sigma Rho, Will Visit In honor of Stanley Houck, pres ident of Delta Sigma Bho, national honorary forensic fraternity, who is 'to be on the western coast this 'month, University debaters and forators will hold a formal banquet Friday evening, February 19, at 7 p. m., at which time Mr. Houck will present his views on the rela tion of public speaking to univer sity and outside life.

Amundsen to Lecture Here on Pole Flight Students To Be Charged To Hear Famous Arc tic Explorer Motion Pictures Of Flight to be Shown Thrilling Journey Into the Northern Lands Will Be Described The story of the north will be related in picture and word when Captain Boald Amundsen, famous Arctic and Antarctic explorer, ap pears before Univeijsity students and Eugene citizens Wednesday night at the Armory. Motion pictures taken by Amund sen himself when on his thrilling airplane expedition last May dur ing which he came within 130 miles of the northpole, will be shown. This feature is combined with the lec ture. The Associated Students pro vided for his lecture, and the Hei lig theatre arranged for the films. Amundsen talks in Portland tonight. Trip Story Complete The story which the picturep: and the lecture by Amundsen will tell give a complete portrayal of the trip to the ice bound arctic when the entire expedition was cut off from the world and for many days believed lost. After leaving Spit zenbergen bound for the North pole last May, two airplanes each carry ing three men, and headed by Cap tain Amundsen, and Lincoln Ells worth, who commanded one of the planes, they travelled for a distance of 600 miles over ice and snow. In descending to make observa tions and take pictures, Amundsen’s plane crashed into solid ice when his motor suddenly stopped. The other plane was also damaged be yond repair when it crashed three miles away. The two parties met the next day when drifting ice brought them within a short dis tance of each other. With a tem perature of more than 12 degrees below zero, two members of the Ellsworth crew fell into the icy waters and almost lost their lives trying to reach Amundsen and his crew. Plane is Repaired The great fight the men made in repairing the motor of the plane, construction of a runway to raise it into flight, living a month on scanty rations, the final successful flight of the plane upon which de pended their only chance for life, will all be told in the program to morrow night. Amundsen has just recovered from a cold, which for a time seem ed likely to prevent his lecture here. Tickets Cost 60 Cents Student tickets may be obtained with other tickets secured at the Co-op and the payment of 50 cents. The purpose of the fifty cents ad mission is for the Ileilig as remun eration for the films to be shown in connection.

He was forced to bed when he returned. Walter Kelsey, track captain, is supervising track work during Mr. Hayward’s absence.
