v ▲ m - ; ■ /.. m VOLUME XXVIII _UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE. SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 20, 1927 NUMBER 88 MondayNight Lecture to Be About Bones R. C. Andrews to Discuss Asiatic Expedition And Discoveries Films of Past 4 Years To Accompany Talk Third Speaker of Series Awarded Honors Roy chapman Andrews, the man who found the ten million year old dinosaur eggs in Mongolia, and who will lecture in Villard hall at 8:15 Monday evening, has been awarded high honors by the Brit ish Society for the Advancement of Science. This organization, in its list of the ten most important scientific achievements of the past two years, placed the work of Dr. Andrews, in discovering the dinosaur eggs, as second in importance of all scien tific achievements since 1921. It js of pertinent interest that Einstein is given first place for his discovery of the theory of Relativity, and Dr. Brantung of Canada is awarded third place for his discovery of In sulin, the new cure for diabetes. Lecture to Include Findings The importance of Mr. Andrews’ discovery has been generally rec ognized throughout the United States. The newspapers have been full of the work of the Third Asiatic Expedition of the American Museum of Natural History which is head ed by Mr. Andrews. His lecture, “Hunting the Bones of Adam,” to be given Monday eve ning, will be accompanied with mo tion pictures showing every phase of the expedition during the past four years and includes the amazing -findings of the year 1925. Expedition One of Greatest Professor Henry Fairfield Osborn, head of the Ajnerican Museum of Natural History, has already pro claimed the expedition one of the most important of all time. Aside from the finding of the dinosaur eggs which have lain hidden in the Mongolian deserts for approximate ly ten million years, the expedition has made many other sensational discoveries. The finding of the Bal uohitherium skull, the largest mam mal that ever trod the earth, the find ing of the ancestors of the prehis toric creatures that once roamed North America, and other scientific achievements are graphically por trayed by Mr. Andrews in his lec ture and in the films which will be shown at the same time; Third Lecture of Group Mr. Andrews’ lecture is the third of the Student Lecture Series spon sored each year by the Associated Students of the University of Ore gon. The other lectures were given by Captain John B. Noel, leader of the 1924 Mt. Everest expedition, who also showed the remarkable motion pictures taken during the attempt to climb to the top of the world’s highest mountain, and Tom Skeyhill who spoke in January on ■“Mussolini and the Black Shirts.” The story of the search for evi dences of prehistoric life in the Mongolian desert is as full of in terest as either of the preceeding lectures, which have been highly praised by many, and there are some who say that Mr. Andrews brings the most interesting group of pictures and the most thrilling lec ture which has come to the campus for years. A. S. U. O. Pep Dance To Follow Tonight’s Game, Win or Lose A rally dance, predominant with pep, will be held at the Campa Shoppe tonight immediately after the basketball game with Washing ton. If Oregon wins the committee an nounces that this dance will take the form of a victory rally in win ning the championship of the north ern conference hoop title. If Wash ington should take the long end of the score, then it will be a pep rally and dance for the c-oming play-off series for the sectional pennant winner. Campus clothes are in order and students may come with or without dates. The charge is 75c for men, girls free. The College Knights will furnish the music. The whole affair is to be one which will justify the championship team. Moot Court to Handle Poker Game Brawl A BLOODY altercation took place yesterday afternoon about 3:30 o’clock in College Side Inn, when Nick Carter, Uni versity law student, was shot, and Sherman Smith, law student, was arrested by Sheriff Edward Kelley, third year law student. The noisy scene which disrupted the regular routine in the student eating place, was intended to furnish material for a moot trial to be conducted by students of the law school, next term. It is alleged that in a gambling den in the back of the Inn, a large number of law students were gathered drinking, and gambling. Carter and Smith were playing a game of poker. Betting was high, and Smith was playing a losing game. George Joseph and Paul Sayre entered the room and began showing Smith how to play his hand. Smith’s ire was im mediately aroused. He discovered in Carter’s hand a foreign card. He rose wrathfullv and pitched on to Carter. Joseph and Sayre tried to sep arate the two 'combatants. A shot was heard and Carter fell to the floor, unconscious. Sheriff Kelley rushed to the scene and took Smith Into custody. Carter soon regained consciousness. A large bump was discovered above his right temple. The gunman’s identity is unknown. Ted Gillen waters and Jim Rob inson are attorneys for the state and Thomas Short and Aaron Touhev are attorneys for the de fense. Dr. Young Plans Cross-Continent Education Trips Pilgrimages by Rail Held Aid to Higher Adult Learning Plans, for regular transcontinental educational pilgrimages, formulated bv Dean F. G. Young, of the school of sociology, are now under consid eration by an eastern foundation in terested in the promotion of adult education. “The trekking across our contin ent since the beginning of the 19th century has undergone a wide range of evolution in the motives inspir ing the facilities available, and the experiences given,” Dr. Young said. “The number participating is now rapidly increasing in numbers. I wish to suggest how this movement may readily lend itself to serving as a strong leverage for the highest form of adult education. The activ ities last summer and the year be fore of the Great Northern Railway company with its Upper Missouri River and Columbia River Historical Expedition exhibit a realization of a special—the historical—phase of what is possible? “But the best American scholar ship in geology, anthropology, civic development, as well as in history, has been active in bringing about a scientific understanding of what has transpired in the regions pen etrated by the transcontinental rail way routes. With all these resources (Continued on page four) Regardless of the outcome of to night ’s game with the University of Washington, Coach Billy Rein hart, Webfoot hoop mentor since 1924, holds the upper whip over the northern pack of Huskies. Out of the seven games played since Rein hart’s advent into basketball coach ing, the lemon-yellow hoopsters have walked off the floor victorious five times. Reinhart’s basketeers have garnered 225 points to the -Wash ington’s 182. Revenge was sweet at the time of the first Huskie game in 1924. In 1923, Bob Hesketh, speedy northern forward, broke up an Oregon-Wash ington game by a long shot from mid floor with only a few seconds to go. The next year the same individual was unable to produce the goods that would have saved Washington from a 29 to 28 defeat. The game started with Oregon drawing first blood when Shafer, O.A.C.Finmen Swim Today . In Dual Meet Rook-Frosli Mix at 3:15; Precedes Varsity Encounter Peterson, Anderson Out to Break Records Meet Concludes Season For Both Squads _ SEVERAL pool records and at least one Northwest mark are ! scheduled to be replaced in the double swimming meet in the Wom an’s building pool this afternoon. The first meet involves the O. ! A. C. Rooks and the Oregon fresh man water squads, at 3:15, while the second mix will decide a long standing argument between the Aggie and Oregon varsity finmen at 4:15. These meets conclude the inter collegiate season for both the lemon vellow squads, although several members of the teams are expected to take part in the state and North west championships early in March. In the first varsity mix at Cor vallis last month, the Aggies won by a score of 42 to 27. This meet, however, was much closer than the score indicates, as the two teams were tied when only two events of the meet remained to be run off. Frosh Triumph The Rooks and the Frosh met in the Corvallis pool two weeks ago, and the Frosh proved that they have an exceptionally strong aggre gation by running up a score of 44 to the Rooks’ 15. Further evidence that the Frosh possess some real water sprites is shown in the fact that three of the squad hold coast ! freshman records. ; Orville Peterson, the ace of the Beaver squad, who holds the pres | ent Northwest record for the 100 I yard free style in 57 and 3-5 sec onds, has promised that he will make an effort to improve his time for that distance, and will be aided by the short 40-yard pool, which always accounts for faster time than can be made in the 35 and 50-yard tanks. Peterson will not be alone in his attempts at record breaking, how ever,, as Johnny Anderson, fresh man star of the Oregon team, will be out for a few marks, himself. Anderson, in unofficial meets this season, has broken Peterson’s rec ord for the century dash by two fifths of a second, but has never done it in sanctioned meets. Although today’s meet will not include a race between these two luminaries, it will give fans their first opportunity to compare them in action. Byerley’s Loss Felt The varsity’s chances of upset ting the dope and taking a win from the Aggie squad were greatly lessened by an injury fbo Lloyd Byerley, diver, which puts him out of the meet. Byerley has failed to win a first place in only one meet this season, and was counted on for five points today. Perry Davis, however, who has been placing a close second to Byerley in most of the season’s meets, stands an ex cellent chance of beating out Jour dan, the O. A. C. ace, for first (Continued on page four) Oregon Holds Huskies at 5 to 2 Win Since Reinhart’s Advent as Coach Hesketh, Speedy Forward, in 1923 Carried Victory Home to Seattle by Last Minute Play Webfoot guard, dropped one in from under the basket. At half time the score stood in Oregon’s favor 12 to 9. The beginning of the second half saw the Huskies take a spurt and the lead. The contest hee-sawed back and forth until the last 15 seconds of play when Referee Craig called a foul on Shafer—giving ! Hesketh two free shots. He missed i both which gave Oregon the vic tory. Captain Hick Fravne was high | point man for the visitor’s while I‘‘Hunk” Latham led Oregon’s scor . ing with 12 points. The touring Oregonians lost the ! second game that year in Seattle, j 29 to 22. Washington took an early : lead and at half time had a 17 to 10 ! score. Latham was high point man ' for Oregon with 14 points and Hes | keth for Washington with 16. Huskies Win in 1925 The 1925 game with the Huskies (Continued on page four) Drop a Tear For Swede9 Okey, And Jerry These three basketball stalwarts, Algot Westergren, Roy Okerberg and Jerome Gunther, will play their last regularly scheduled conterence game tonight on McArthur Court, although they will have a chance to cavort for the entertainment of the home fans during the coming championship series with California. Each man has put in three years under varsity colors and each man has gained all-coast honors. No Dope Upset In Second Week Of Girls' Games Teams Lower in Rank Fall Before Speedy Work Of Opponents At the end of the ’second week of playing in girls’ basketball, there have been no games won by loams lower in rank than those which they played. As yet, no teams of equal rank have played, but there are several such games scheduled for next week, and their outcome is be ing eagerly awaited. On Wednesday, the senior first won from the junior second by a score of 72 to 22, in a fast game despite the wide difference in scor ing. The sophomore second lost to the freshman first 16 to 54, with the major portion of the scoring in the first half. Junior third team won over the freshman fourth 20 to 4, and the sophomore first beat the freshman second 31 to 1. Low passing characterized the game in i<*hich the junior first won over the sophomore second on Thurs day with a score of 34 to 10. On the same evening the sophomore fifth lost to the freshman third 11 to 48, and the sophomore third beat the freshman fourth 32 to 4. On Friday the junior second for feited their game with the sopho more first, because the team did not turn out in full. The senior first team’s work proved too much for the freshman second and ended with a victory of 69 to 4. The sophomore fifth lost to the sophomore fourth 16 to 19, while the junior third beat the sophomore fourth 29 to 8. There are games scheduled for every day next week, as follows: Monday: freshman first and junior first, sophomore second and fresh man third, freshman second and sophomore third.

Organ and Voice Part Of Vesper Program Tomorrow Afternoon “The Voice of God and the Son! of Man,” Psalms 139; and “Some of Jesus’ Standards of Living,’’ Mathew 23, will be the subjects that Bruce J. Giffen, University pastor, will speak on at Vespers, Sunday. The musical program will con sist of two selections on the organ by John Stark Evans and two vo cal pieces sung by Madame Me Grew. One of Handel’s best known compositions, the “Largo,’’ has been selected as the first number to be played by Mr. Evans, and “ Kamennoi-Ostrow ’ ’ by Ruben stein as the second. Ghul’s sacred song, “These Are They,’’ will be sung by Madatye McGrew, and the song, “In My Fa ther’s Houses Are Many Mansions’’ by MacDermid, will conclude the program. Sigma Xi to Honor Andreivs With Dinner Sigma Xi, national science honor ary organization, will give a dinner Monday evening at 6 o ’clock in honor of Boy Chapman Andrews, third speaker in the lecture series. The three members of the geology department, Dr. Warren D. Smith, Dr. E. T,. Packard, and Professor Edwin T. Hodge, compose the com mittee in charge. President of Sig ma Xi, Professor W. E. Milne, will preside. The dinner will be informal. All faculty members and their wives who are interested are invited and may make reservations at the An chorage for 75 cents each. A personal friend of Dr. Andrews, Mr. Van Bovenberg and his wife, from Medford, will be the guests of honor. Series of Dist'ussions Concluded by Rebec The last of a series of talks con cerning the religious anil moral life of the university student was given by Dean George Rebec, head of the department of philosophy, on the subject of “Religion and the Criti cally Minded Student’’ at the weekly meeting of the faculty com mittee held Wednesday noon at the Anchorage. The repoft of the “Findings Com mittee” will be heard next Wed nesday, and a definite recommen dation will be made from the evi dence gathered in the last few weeks. Men to Occupy East Bleachers At All Games May 14 Is ‘Parents Day’; Traffic Considered Also by Council All University men are to occupy seats in the east side bleachers in McArthur court during games, ac cording to an act passed by the student council yesterday. A block in the balcony just above this sec tion will be reserved in case they cannot all be seated below. The purpose of the change is to produce concentrated yelling, and to give the yell leaders better command of the men. The band and members of the Order of the “O” will be given a reserved section in the center of the rooters section. The west side bleachers and seats in the balcony will be open for women. Bob- Warner, varsity yell leader, reported that he is working with a committee to perfect several new yells to be tried out soon. The council set aside May 14 as campus parents day. This is to be the official time for entertaining i Continued on page three) Washington, Oregon to Vie Tonight, 8:15 Westergren, O k e r berg, And Gunther to Make Farewell Bow Varsity Basketeers Primed for Contest Eleventh Victory in Line Within Sight Bulletin A 31-27 victory over the Washing ton Huskies by the Oregon Aggies last night automatically cinched the northern division basketball title for the University of Oregon team. The loss of last night’s game gave Washington a drop on the per centage list that sent Husky title hopes glimmering. Probable Lineups: Oregon Washington Gunther f Schuss Ridings f Snider Okerberg c .Jewell Milligan g James Westjrgren g Dalquest • By HAROLD MANGUM ALL roacls lead to McArthur court tonight, where Washing ton and Oregon will tangle on the basketball floor to decide the hoop supremacy of all the thousands of square miles of territory stretch ing north from the southern Ore gon line to the aurora borealis and from the Pa cific ocean to the Rocky mountains and beyond. Time, 8:15. Roy Okerberg l oach Ken hart, or tho Webfoots, has been working his charges over time in preparation for this melee, and for once he can see a rav of light, piercing the gloom. The men have been checking and fighting their way through the last few prac tices with a vigor that goes with a team that is hot after the champion ship. Too often a veteran lineup such as the present Oregon outfit strikes a slump that there is no ex plaining away. The men go through the motions of playing, and that is about all. Aggie Scare Helpful That, says Billy, is the wav the team performed against O. A. C. The men cheeked, blocked, pivoted, and dribbled automatically, and not until after the Aggies had twice as sumed the lead did they flash into the old form which enabled them to down Washington at Seattle by a 50 to 25 score. The team received a scare that day that has done them a world of good, opine the Webfoot coaches, and they will play better ball for it. Tonight’s game will mark the last appearance of three of the best, perhaps greatest, basketeers that ever caged a field goal for Oregon in a regularly scheduled conference contest. The post season series with California will have them perform ing again, but the regular schedule (Continual on page three) Chinese Student Writes of Fourteen Day Tramp to Chicago From Eugene Fare to Next Town Is Paid bv Ben Chan as Fine For Stealing Ride on Freight Train “When I inform you that I reached Chicago in less than four teen days, it isn't because I got rides all the way from Eugene, from where I started,” writes Benjamin Chan, last year’s winner of the Murray Warner essay contest prize for oriental students, who left school last February to walk to Chicago, to see how it was to be a tramp. Mr. Chan has been gathering ma terial for the paper, “Young Com panion,” which is printed in Chin ese and in English, and in which he has a part interest. “Once I was caught for tramping on a freight car, for I didn’t get off quick enough to go out of the train yards before the watchman saw me. The fine was either ten days in jail, or pay ray fair to an other town.” He took the latter alternative and was able to pay his fine and at the same time ride another hundred miles towards Chicago. “The l*>st kind of people I ever | met. is the people of Iowa, even a l child asked me to a diink of water S when I happened to rest at his j doorway,” he reports. According to Mr. C'iian, the people of Illinois arc scared of hold-up ! men, and he walked a whole day in | that state without receiving a ride. “Everywhere I was treated by ! my country folk like one of their i brothers, for I always got a free meal in their Chop Suey restaurants, i Then some Americans were also so | generous that after I got a free tide with them, I was treated to a 1 sandwich or a cup of coffee.” Although he made many friends in this way, Mr. Chan said that there ware many hardships to suf I for, the cold weather being espe- , ! ciallv hard to endure. “Front this trip I hope the Amer ! lean children better believe there i is a Santa Claus after all,” he eon* i eluded in the letter, which was re j eeived by Mrs. Donnelly. Mr. Ch’an was a sophomore in the ! school of journalism.
