In Radio Debate
Australians Meet Defeat
By 168 Votes; Question
Concerns Prohibition
Oregon Speakers Given
Favorable Comment
Three hundred seventy-six bal
lots have been turned in as a result
of the University of Oregon versus j
University of Sydney, Australia, ra
dio debate over KGW Saturday, Oc
tober 16; of these, 272 ballots fav
ored Oregon, 104 favored the Au
stralian team.
“The number of ballots turned
in and the large number of towns
which returned ballots is remark
able,’’ said Dr. Dan E. Clark, of
the Extension division. “There are
ballots, one or 'jnore from each •
town, from seventy-three towns in i
addition to Portland.”
The subject of the radio debate
was: “Resolved: That this audi
ence is opposed to the prohibition
of liquor.” Benoit McCroskey and
Jack Ilcmpsted, representing Ore
gon, upheld the negative side of
the question.
American System Liked
A great many people wrote let
ters stating their opinions of the
debate; some of them were three
or four pages long. “From the
content of the letters received it
looks as though people prefer the
American style of debating,” said
Dr. Clark. “Some of the letters
were very long; thp response was
remarkable in numbers and also in
the comment aroused.”
Following are extracts from let
ters concerning the debate: “The
Oregon team won in fairness of
statement, ’logic, and manly ( ser
iousness as opposed to [presumed
smartness.”
The writer of another letter stat
ed: “I hope radio listeners will
sometime again have the pleasure
of hearing Messrs. Hempstead and
McCroskey in debate With other
teams. They are splendid and of
much credit to the University of
Oregon.”
“While the Australian team was
clever in cross-questioning, the Uni
versity of Oregon team was more
constructive and gave a much bet
ter presentation,” was the opinion
of one writer.
Ballots From Three States
Ballots which were returned from
outside the state were from Long
'view, Orchards, Vancouver, in Wash
ington; Blanchard, and Jerome in
Idaho; Woodland, Cutler, Berkeley,
and Sacramento, in California. This
debate is the last of several radio
debates which the University has
held. The first one was several years
ago with the University of Califor
nia. The teams wore at different
stations, the Oregon team at KGW
and the California team in Oakland,
California. There has been one
other debate when the teams were
at different stations, and two in
which both teams broadcasted over
the same station.
On Monday following the radio
dobato on October 16, President
Hall’s inaugural address was broad
casted over KGW. One writer, a
former Oregon student, after cast
ing his vote for the affirmative
team, wrote: “I wish to express mvj
appreciation for being able to hear ■
President Hall’s inaugural address
and the football game. I am a form- j
er Oregon student, too ill to return
to school this year.”

In Donut Handball;
No More Opposition
It’s all over but the cheering now
and the Beta Theta Pi men won.
There’s all the news in that' first
line, but it might be added that the
thing in question was donut hand
Jerry Gunther were the gentlemen
involved.
- When the recent tournament had
narrowed down to three teams, Phi
Delta Theta, Sigma Nu and Beta
Theta Pi, things began to pop.
All three houses had good men
wearing their colors—or whatever
it is that they wear—and the two
boys, Nip and Tuck, were in evi
dence.
McGregor and Powers, imperson
ating Phi Delta Theta, forfeited
their match to Knutsen and Glen
Howard of Sigma Nu.
Mr. Gunther and Mr. Westergren
trounced Howard and Knutsen 21-16,
21-11 and are now rightful and un
defeated handball doubles cham

and all appurtenances thereto.
Life of Cadets to Be
Shown in Film Here
Members of the Tt. O. T. C. are
advised by Col. W. S. Sinclair, head
of the military department, to see
a moving picture showing what
cadets at West Point Military Ac
ademy do at Camp Clinton, N. Y.,
in the summer. The picture, which
will be shown at the Colonial the
ater sometime next week, should be
very interesting to the students of
military science, according to Col
onel Sinclair. It consists of three
reels and will be run for three days.

Exhibition Tilt
Of Water Polo
Staged at O. A. C.
Game May Be Introduced
As Competitive Sport
Believes Coach
For the purpose of introducing
water polo in view of future com
petition, E. R. Abercrombie, swim
ming coach, with 12 members of the
swimming team, staged an exhibi
tion water polo game at O. A. C.
Saturday morning.
Water polo is a recognized col
lege sport in the east, states Aber
crombie, and the reason for this af
fair was to arouse interest in this
phase of swimming and provide
intercollegiate competition.
A partially inflated ball is used
in the sport, allowing the ball car
rier to grip it while swimming.
Passing is seldom done and under
water advancing results in a pen
alty. The game is played with six
men on a side, one man of each team
acting as goal tender. Tackling, or
submerging the ball-carrier, and in
terference is permissible. Play for
mations are worked out as in bas
ketball and football.
The scoring system allows 5 points
on a touch-goal, 3 on a thrown-goal
and one on foul shots. Fouls are call
ed as in basketball. Players not
involved in the play are allowed to
touch bottom or rest at the side of
the tank.
“The game is fast and interest
ing,” comments Abercrombie, “and
is equally as strenuous as football or
basketball.”

Robert McMath, George Mason, and
Leonard Thompson, of the Univer
sity, took part in the game.
Name
(Continued from page one)
been for the most popular name, and
Webfoots has won the race. Every
one has recognized the Webfoot as
a great and distinctive cognomen, on
a level with the best in the land.
All hands are satisfied. Now watch
the Webfoot soar.
If the contest had been conducted
during the spring term when the skies
were blue and smiling, another re- ]
suit might have been achieved. But
the time selected was during the
rainiest season of the year, when
every day was wetter than the one
preceding.
Dragons Second
For a while Dragons was leading
Webfoots and already to breeze under
the wire a' winner. The name was
colorful and suitable to simile. It
was powerful and devastating. The
Oregon colors, green and yellow, were
adaptable to its description. Its ele
ment was water, said some, but in
i more grandilioquent manner than
;he humble quacker.
Then some crass competitor com
pared the mighty dragon to an over
sized lizard and all bets were off.
Vikings Third
Many writers liked Vikings, but
the football team is without Scan
dinavian representative, and the
term smacks too much of Vandals,
the cognomen Idaho likes so well.
Some liked Pioneers, but the name
suggests old men, at least to our
blase ears. Someone liked Rangers,
some liked Trail-to-Railers, and
some liked Trappers. Someone liked
hundreds of different names.
Paris made an indiscreet choice
some thousands of years ago, and
look what happened to the Trojan
prince.
L. H. Gregory wins the duck.
Thank you!

Headaches From Eyestrain
Few people realize how large is the proportion of head
aches and indigestion due to strained eyes.
This is nature’s danger signal, unless the cause is removed
that causes the disturbance, permanent injury to the eyes
or the health, or both.
Children frequently suffer from headaches without knowing
the cause. If the eyes are responsible, we can surely tell
you and guarantee relief with a pair of our “Home-Made”
Glasses.
