Debate Men Leave Today For Salt Lake Failure of Democracy Will be Discussed By the Teams Beelar, McCroskey Pre-Law Majors Oregon Representatives Will Visit California DONALD BEELAK and Benoit McCroskey leave at 12:00 to day on the Shasta for Salt Lake City, where they j will meet the Uni- j versity of Utah in a debate sched uled for Thurs day night, March 3. The trip to Salt Lake City is the longest one to be made this year by the debate | Don Beelar longest journey which has been made in the last three of four years. “Interest in forensics this year will help get a bigger budget next year,” said Donald Beelar. The speakers will spend several days in San Francisco, and will probably go on down to Palo Alto. A debate with Stanford university which had been planned could not be arranged because Stan ford schedule is full. The Oregon representatives will be back on the campus March 6 or 7. “Resolved, That Democracy is a Failure,” is the question for debate. ■“The value of this subject depends on the method in which it is han dled,” said Donald Beelar, “The way Oregon and the- other schools are handling it. makes it a popular question for debate. In view of the facts in Europe and certain tenden cies here in the United States, it is receiving a lot of consideration.” Return Contest Representatives from the Uni versity of Utah were on the Oregon campus last year in a .match against the University; the contest March 3 in Salt Lake City is a return de bate. Both McCroskey and Beelar de bated against the University of Syd ney, Australia, when their represen tatives were here last term. Donald Beelar is a junior majoring in Pre Law, and Benoit McCroskey is a junior Pre-Law major. This is the third year both have represented Oregon on the rostrum. In the ora tory try-outs held the first of this term Donald Beelar was selected to represent Oregon in the State Peace contest to be held at Willamette University ni Salem. McCroskey will go to Los Angeles to represent Ore gon in the National Constitutional contest, this spring. Soon after returning to Oregon, Benoit McCroskey will leave for Se attle with Ronald MeCreight to at tend the tri-state meet there March 31. Phi Kappa Psi National President Visits Campus Howard C. Williams, national president of Phi Kappa Psi frater nity, was a guest of the local chap ter yesterday. Mr. Williams, whose home is in Cleveland, Ohio, came west to install a new chapter at the University of Southern California. He left last evening for Portland where he will be entertained by the Oregon Alumni Association, and from there he will return to Cleve land. Curtis Philips Radio Announcer at KGEH Curtis “Shrimp” Philips, who was on the campus four years ago, is now announcing over KOEH. Philips, a member of Beta Theta Pi, was a track letterman and also sang in the Glee Club quartet. For the last month and a half, he has been with the Eugene station. Be fore that, he announced for the Ore gonian over KGW, at Portland. Philips likes the work and believes there is a good field here for radio advertising. KGEH is moving from the Eugene to the Osburn hotel this week. Broadcasting, which was discon tinued after the Oregon-O. A. C. game, will be resumed next Satur day. The station has been giving the scores of all the University games and will continue to do so. La Grippe Has Lost Its Grip—Almost OLD man Grippe is losing his hold. The kill or cure tray at the infirmary and dispensary —-not to mention the annex— loaded with Hinkle’s medicine, nasty looking and worse tasting, the ferocious atomizer with the silver arm, and the saintly look ing cotton—all these are respon sible for the rascal's waning pop ularity. Oh yes, and the nurses and doctors helped some. No more does Wade Newbigin hitch his pint size radio to the bed springs and the radiator, and tune in on the latest blues from the Multnomah Hotel orchestra. No more do Edith Huntsman’s pencil sketches terrorize visitors, nurses and patients alike. And the vari-colored paints that brightened the white counterpane on Lillian Povey’s bed have been neatly cleared away. The two victrolas that drove the nurses crazy with their simultaneous interpretation of two different records, have left with their owners, and the infirmary—and the annex—ain't what they used to be. Both places are quiet. On ly sixteen patients there now, and sixteen of them are flu pa tients. Figure it out for your self. Just the same, Grippe has seen his best days. Eric W. Allen to Be Lecturer on | Journalism Tour Minnesota to Conduct Summer Courses In Old World Dean Eric W. Allen, dean of the school of journalism, will be one of the lecturers on the second annual European Journalism tour, which is conducted by the University of 1 Minnesota. The tour starts July 28 and lasts 68 days. On the trip to Europe Dean Allen | will lecture on shipboard, speaking on comparative journalism, and the economic, social and political prob lems of present day Europe. The last day on board, ho will give re search work to each student to pur sue while in Europe. They will go through all the prin cipal cities and places of interest in Europe, visiting all of the famous newspaper offices where they will study European journalism methods. They will hear lectures given by the leading newspaper men of Eur ope, and will learn the various as pects of journalistic work which is carried on there. On the trip back to the United States, Dean Allen will conduct a seminar on the individual research work which was carried on by the students abroad. If a student wishes to take the trip for pleasure, he can do so but will not have to take the examina tion which is given by the Univer- | sitv of Minnesota when the party ! returns, neither will they receive the I credit which is given by the uni versity, when the work is comple'ted. Dean Allen was in doubt as to his going until a formal announcement, which is sent out to all newspaper j men by the University of Minnesota 1 announced that he is to be a lecturer. Juniors Plan Unique Mardi Gras Festival Committee Selects Manu script Submitted by Clarke and Yoke Annual Creole Carnival Has Cosmopolitan Air Specialty Tryouts March 8; Diverse Features Desired MARDI GRAS, New Orleans’ an nual festival, will furnish at mosphere for the musical comedy to be staged by the junior class in lieu of the regular a voa-vu tins year. I The committee in i charge Jias decid ! ed upon the manu ; script submitted by Etha Jeanne Clark and Bob Yoke for presen tation, and the continuity is built about the cele brated Creole car nival. Donald McCook The idea, ac cording to Benoit McCroskey, chair man in charge, is treated in an or iginal and unique fashion, and the cosmopolitan, diverse, and scintil lating nature of the Mardi Gras furnishes ample background for an unusual musical comedy. Although the complete details have not yet been worked out, the plot has enough concatenation to provide in terest. and yet enough latitude to allow the introduction of almost any form of extraneous entertainment. Four Acts Include Play The play will be presented in four acts, one of which will concern the Mardi Gras and another of which will be located along the Louisiana levee, and will give the blues sing ers a banjo pickers an opportunity to glow with southern melodies. Specialty tryouts will be held March 5, a week from tomorrow. Features of all kinds are desired, i especially singers and dancers. Three choruses are provided for in the manuscript—two female and one male. McCroskey claims that Ore gon lias as many good looking men as any college on the coast, and be lieves that the coming musical com edy will bear out this fact. I)on McCook, business manager, has signed a contract with the (Continued on page tiro) Dr. Boynton to Give Photography Course During Spring Term Announcement was made yester day by Dr. W. P. Boynton, head of the department of physics, of a three-hour course in photography to be given spring term, if enough stu dents are interested in the course and will notify him during this term. The hours will probably be eleven o’clock on Monday and Wed nesday with a lab period either Monday or Wednesday afternoon. It is an introductory course deal ing with the methods and processes rather than the artistic part, al though attention is given to the (Continued, on page three) 100 Chinese Articles to Be Added To Murray Warner Art Collection On Fourth Trip Mrs. Warner Finds Pekin Quiet And No Fuel or Food Shortage Chinese pewter inlaid with thin pieces of brass, making flowers, birds, animals and geometric de signs, in all the elegance of old ; China; pieces of jade, delicate jew i elrv, porcelains, textiles, furniture and jewelry totalling 100 articles are to be added to the Murray 'War ner collection of Oriental Art as a result of the recent trip made by Mrs. Gertrude Bass Warner and Mrs. Francis T. Seal of New York to China. Twenty-five specimens of the | Chinese pewter will be a new part of the museum collection. The oth er articles, including textiles, lac quer and prints from Japan, are ad ditions to collections already start | ed. “This was my fourth trip, and each one has been more successful than the last,” said Mrs. Warner. “Each time conditions have been more favorable and my friends in the Orient more interested. The articles that I procured this time are all excellent and beautiful mu seum specimens, so I consider this | a splendid trip. “We started from San Francisco j on the S. S. President Wilson Nov- j ember 13. At that time conditions \ in Shanghai were favorable so that ! we were able to spend three days there, then we left for Pekin. “The Chinese train has passage- ] ways on one side, and the cars are divided into compartments with doors. At each end of every car soldiers are stationed to protect the travelers from bandits. On our train was a high officer of the Chinese government, and he had a special bodyguard which marched through the car all day and night. ' At each station we would stop and representatives from the town would come to pay their respects to the official. “We went to Nankin and spent several days there visiting friends at the university, then took a train to Tientsin and on to Pekin. “On the latter part of the trip, (Continued on page three) Bugs A. W. O. L. From Zoology CAassroom IT DOESN'T seem possible! But it must be so! Because four of them escaped. It happen ed over in Deady hall while ex cruciating and savory odors of acids and animals tortured by the merciless hands of zoology majors rent the air. Four of them escaped! Think of it, four tiny black bugs resembling Indy bugs, or turtles, played joyously on the fourth step of the third flight of stairs, ignored by all the indus trious zoology and biology maj ors. They escaped being dissect ed, or impaled on pins, or what ever you do to bugs that aren’t butterflies, and will have another day of life until some sneaking, snooping, spying major pounces on them and relentlessly carries them off—to be dissected.

Such was the joint conclusion reached by four mem- i bers of Gamma Phi Beta after a night of horrors in the house on the mill-race. It seems the timid heroines of our story were virtuously prepar ing for a mid-term exam at the above mentioned hour, when a suspicious noise was heard in the vicinity of a basement window. Knowing the house was securely locked, they were undaunted but fearful and continued their din ing room studying. Suddenly a scream that pierced several miles of inky black ness in its flight rang out and the other three Phi Bete pros pects turned as one in the direc tion of a near-by window. Three more screams hit the night air close behind the first. For the head of a M-A-N had ap peared behind the closed win dow. Being out of breath, the girls stopped screaming and stared at their unexpected visit or. Later, the police were called (both of them), but nothing was found. Hoy t. Andrews, Noted Expedition Leader, to Talk Explorations in Mongolian Plains to be Related By Lecturer Roy Chapman Andrews, leader of the third Asiatic expedition, who during the past four years has been unearthing evidences of pro-historic | life in the interior of the Mongolian desert, will tell of the romance of the expedition in his lecture in Vil lard hall Monday night, February 28, at 8:15. Andrews astounded the world a little, over a year ago with the an nouncement of the finding of dino saur eggs. A cable from Urga, Mon golia, last year told of the finding of additional dinogaur eggs, and what is even more important, the finding of the remains of a primitive human culture of the late Paleo lithic, or Old Stone Age. Thousands of flint-flakes, arrow points and spear heads have been found, all of beautiful jasper and agate. The third Asiatic expedition, in charge of Andrews, has been under way for more than four years. Through the finding of the dinosaur eggs and the fossilized bones of prehistoric monsters, it has estab lished the fact that early mammal ian boasts of Asia and America were kin and roamed across the two continents on the land bridge that joined them in those remote times. If, in the two remaining years left for the expedition, the bones of pre historic man can be found, the ex pedition will go down in history as the most important of all time. U. of O. Basketeers Coast Champs Through Coach Walker's Efforts Present Dean of Men Directs Winning Team in 1919; Billy Reinhart Begins in 1923 Winning three out of four games from the University of Washington, the Oregon Webfoots finished sec ond in the western division of the Northwest conference for the sea son of 1918. O. A. C. finished first that year. The 1918 season marked the sec ond year since basketball was re instated as a major sport. Bill Hay ward again assumed charge of the basketball team but due to illness was succeeded by Bean Walker who had been head freshman mentor. The members of the team included Ned Fowler, “Bot” Medley, “Chuck” Comfort, Bill Steers and Bow Wil son. To Bean H. Walker, varsity has- j ketball coach in 1919 and now dean ■ of men, goes the honor of winning the only Pacific coast basketball championship. It was the 1919 team that played 17 games and won 13, piling up 533 points to its oppon ent’s 427. “We carried a squad of only six men in 1919 in order to save mon ey,” said Bean Walker, coach of the coast champions. “That year I was coach and graduate manager. Our guards were instructed to go down for shots. Chapman and Jacobberg er scored more in the two California games than the opposing forwards. It was a great year and Eddie Durno j surely made a fine scoring record j of 274 points.” After winning the" northwest ! championship that year the Oregon basketeers journeyed to Berkeley where they played the University ! of California for the coast title. Ore- ! gou won the first two games by the | close score of 39 to 37 and 30 to 28. ' The members of the team included Durno and Fowler, forwards; Lind, center; Jacobberger and Chapman, guards; and Brandon, spare. Through the presence of an in fluenza epidemic in 1920 most of the varsity basketball games were played behind closed doors. This season saw the beginning of Shy Hunnington as basketball mentor. Under his tutelage the Webfoots won eight and lost nine games. With the beginning of the 1921 season George M. Bohler made his debut as hoop instructor. Oregon won the northwest conference cham pionship that year with 13 wins out of 17 games played. Again the University of Oregon (Continued on page two) Oregon Plays Huskies For Title Saturday ’Hee’ Edinundson, Huskie Coach, Developed Fast Breaking Offense Gunther- Schuss Feud Interesting Spectacle Oregon Squad Working Hard on Defense 'T'lIE University of Oregon bas ketball team will play the Washington hoopsters tomorrow light in McAt thur Court, and ho championship )f the northern livision of the Pacific coast con ference will hinge upon the outcome if this game. Coach Billy Reinhart was dis appointed with the brand of ball displayed bv the Gunther Webfoot cagers against the Oregon Aggies, and is working his players hard, trying to get them back in the form they were in when they defeat ed the Huskies, 50 to 25, in Seat tle. In the Aggie fracas the Oregon defensive went to pieces for a few minutes in the second half, and the Orangemen scored thirteen points before the lemon-yellow hoopsters got together and broke up the rally. A sli|> of this kind might prove dis astrous against a team playing the brand of ball that the Huskies are in the habit of serving. Both Teams Fast When the Webfoot hoopers de feated the Huskies in Seattle they did it by playing at top speed throughout the entire contest and wearing the opposition to a frazzle. During tiie last seven minute of the game the Webfoot team scored 20 points against the exhausted Husk ies. This, however, may not be the ease tomorrow night. “Hoc” Kd mnndson, Washington coach, has had time to get his men into condi tion to play the entire game at top speed. He has also been working out an offensive that he hopes will give results. Kdmundson has such men as A1 Schuss, all-coast forward; Monty Snider, forward; and Alie .Tames, guard, to build his scoring plays around. i Gunther Faces Schuss In Schuss, Coach Edmondson has a veteran that is not anly a clever man at working the ball down the floor, but a man who is generally a dangerous shot from any angle on the court. Billy Reinhart, howev er, stopped the scoring flash when he stationed Jerry Gunther, Ore gon’s all-coast forward, to watch him, Gunther held Sehuss to one field basket and collected five for himself during the game. Monty Snider, sophomore forward for Washington, has been playing a class of ball that may win his recog nition in all-coast circles. Snider Is a flashy player in every department of the game, and in spite of his slim build is capable of mixing it with the best of them. Jesse James? The Webfoot offensive has a hard man to contend witti when it comes up against Alfie James, veteran Washington guard. James is anoth er Iluskie who is built along speed model lines, and has a habit oY smearing the opponents plays be fore they have time to get nicely started. Washington will have two games this weekend. Tonight she plays the (Continued on page four) W eh foot Contributions Wanted in IS ext Week Though the ink is hardly dry on the Historical number of the Web foot, the editor and his staff have decided to set the first of next week as the deadline for all contributions for the next issue. The date of pub lication has not yet been set for the magazine’s next appearance, but it will be off tho»press before the end of the term. “The last number has been very favorably received on the campus, but it is hoped that the next issue will be an improvement over it. Contributors are asked to turn their articles in at the Webfoot office early so that the editors may have time to properly assemble the ma terial at hand.
