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

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

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. It is reported that
most of the tickets have been sold
and students desiring to attend the
lecture tomorrow night are warned
to obtain their tickets early, in or
der to be assured of a seat.
Hayivard Sick in Bed;
Inprovement is Noted
William L. “Bill” Hayward, Ore
gon’s veteran track coach and ath
letic trainer, who is sick in bed with
a slight attack of pneumonia, was
better last night, according to Mrs.
Hayward. He will be at home a
week or more, however, it is ex
pected.
His physician, Dr. Orville Waller,
believed the illness was a result of
a cold caught last week, which
came more severe after “Bill’s”
trip to Corvallis with the basketball
team Saturday. He was forced to
bed when he returned.
Walter Kelsey, track captain, is
supervising track work during Mr.
Hayward’s absence.

Call Made for
Junior Vodvil
Acts and Ideas
Song and Dance Revue
Try-Outs Today, 1:30 *
At Campa Shoppe
Programs Will Include
More Stunts This Year
--
Variety of Talent Needed
For Show, Says Love
Toe dancers, soft shoe dancers,
high kickers, songsters, people who
are gifted at patter and chatter
stuff, short sketches and song and
dance acts are being sought by
Bob Love and Barney McPhillips
for possible Junior Vod-vil mate
rial.
“The eampus is full of talent, but
it does us no good unless the peo
ple coihe and try out,” declare^ Bob
Love. “We want all the students
who are gifted in any line of en
tertaining to get to work now so
that we may have a great variety
to work with, and plenty of time
to do it in.”
Intermission on Program
The leading idea for the vod-vil
this year is to have a greater num
ber of acts of a shorter duration,
giving the effect of a variety
show. There will be approximately
12 acts. These will include an
April Frolic stunt, a Webfoot week
ly in which different phases of
campus life and activities will be
shown, short sketched, and several
other forms of entertainment. The
program will be given in two parts,
the first intermission will be filled
by the orchestra while the second
part will terminate in a song and
dance revue. The latter feature
will be under the direction of Bar
ney McPhillips, who will begin
work on it at once.
Girls who are interested in trying
out should call Esther Setters at
772 immediately, as tryouts for it
will be held at the Campa Shoppe
at 1:30 today. Aspirant)r for the
chbrus need not be accomplished
dancers, but should bo somewhat
clever with their feet, declares Mc
Phillips. Tliero will bo no favorit
ism shown in the choosing of the
'chours, it all lies in one’s feet, is
his assertion. The tryout is being
held now so that it will be possible
to have a well-trained and finished
act when the final date comes.
Tryouts March 5-6
All those who have acts for the
vodvil should see Bob Love or call
him at 130G as soon as possible.
A wealth of curtain acts will be
needed and all those who are cap
able of putting them on are urged
to report.
Tryouts for vod-vil acts will bo
hold March 5 and 6, but it i|s neces
sary that those who would tako
part begin work on ideas now.
A lottery to determine which or
ganizations will be partners for the
canoe fete will be held soon.
