The competition in the final game Tuesday afternoon promises to bo the high light of the spring inter organization play for the three win ners have won their way through the seventeen teams originally en tered. There has been no doubt of their superiority and the final slashes will be a battle. Friendly Defeats A.T.O.’s Yesterday afternoon the matches were close in the two played. Arleigh Read and A1 Veazie of Friendly hall won their third straight game in a row by defeating Ted Gillen waters and Archie Knowles of Al pha Tau Omega in a game which showed a puzzling see-sawing of points so that at the end of the second set it was anyone’s game. However in a fiercely fought final set the Friendly hall team won with a 7-5 score. The first two sets were split between Friendly hall with a 6-0 win and Alpha Tau Omega with a 6-1 win. Games Close Yesterday Theta Chi represented by Tillman Peterson and Kemmis Cadwell took the measure of Clair Scallon and Ben Souther by another hard fought contest which wont to the throe sets to decide the winner. The first set was won by Theta Chi with a 6-4 seoro. The second set went to the Phi Gamma Delta duo with the score 8-6 and the last and hardest fought set of the after noon was won by the Theta Chi team with a 10-8 score. The win prevented any fine work so that it was mostly a placing game with a lot of not play. The serving of Scallon of the Fiji team and that of Cadwell for the winners was a big element in the victory. There was no powerful or well aimed driving and the game was won on careful plac ing. The three teams now go into a round robin elimination series with the winner of the Theta Chi- Kap pa Delta contest, slated for Monday afternoon, playing Friendly hall for the honors on Tuesday afternoon.

Tbacher, writer, profes sor, scholar; long a familiar person age about the journalism “shack” at the, University of Oregon, does not believe short-story writing should, be considered a vocation. Thachcr, an instructor in advertis ing and English, says: “I konw but a very few people who make their living exclusively through their writing. The reason is not so much a lack of interest as the difficulty of breaking into the field and forming a reputation. There are a few national characters such as Ring Lardner, Ben Ames Wil liams, Boy Cohen and the small cir cle of Saturday Evening Post con tributors who have done this and can depend entirely upon the re turns of their stories for a liveli hood. I do not believe, however, there are over a hundred people in the United States making their liv ing in this way. Those in Oregon doing so, I could count on the fin gers of one hand. “Another type of writer—the ac tion-story writer, who gets from two to three cents a word for his sto ries, is hired by the magazine pub lishers to turn out an abundance of material each month. This, of course, is a type of work that guar antees a steady income, but it is not over-desirable to the person who wishes to do better things. There are two graduates of the University of Oregon doing this at the present time and doing it very well. “Writers of such fiction are not given a standing among literary writers. An intellectual writer finds it very hard to write fiction of this sort because it depends upon writ ing for a great number of people* the majority of whom are more or; less illiterate. The story must not be a good one, but one which will cultivate and arouse their ideals and imagination. One must be able to write an adventure story and believe in it,” he continued. When ashed whether or not a background of reading was neces sary, Professor Thacher replied: “A large background of reading is not necessary and more frequently is an obstacle. You will often find great writers are great readers, but most often you will find they are not. The two qualities of mind do not seem to work together. I know too many of both kinds. “A man who reads a great deal will become literary, and it will af fect his style. All this stands in the way of direct contact with life. The most effective writers are those who have gained their background through experience and contact with life.” He was asked whom he thought to be the best short-story writer of today. “This is rather a hard question to answer,” he Said, but I believe I should say Daniel Steele. For many years he has turned out sto ries of sterling literary quality, never lowering his standard. He is also an artist. There are a few writers who apparently can write long stories and cannot write short stories. Steele is one of them.” Professor Thacher has written several stories which have been pub lished in the Atlantic Monthly, and the Blue Book magazines. He has also written another story which he terms his “pet,” that has not been published. “Most writers today wrrite on schedule—so many words or many hours a day, but when I get into a story I can’t stop until it is fin ished. My most famous work, that which appeared in the Atlantic was written in this way. This was only 3,000 words and written in one sit ting.” Chemistry Graduate Explains Flotation Alton Gabriel, a graduate stu dent in the ehcmistry department, explained the theory and process of ore flotation by which 60,000,000 tons of ore was last year recovered, yesterday at the lecture hour of tho weekly chemistry seminar. The me chanical process involves a large coll into which tho material to bo purified or separated is poured, along with water and a lesser amount of oil. Air is forced into the bottom of the cell. As this rises at the top as bubbles, is carries with it the ore, ho said. Tho bubbles, so massed are foath which is scooped off. Tho oil. which has formed a film around the bubbles previously to keep them sufficiently strong to resist tension and to be able to carry tho ore, is separated from tho filings by boilings down. which leaves tho mineral in pure form!. Gabriel also explained the chemi cal theory of the flotation. O. F. Stafford, head of the chemistry de partment, recalled when in 1903 an instructor in a mining engineering department started about that time in the University, invented such a proves for refining, although the air, in place of being forced in from the bottom of the cell, was worked, in by means of a beater or paddle, revolving in the cell.
