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

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,

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

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.

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:

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

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

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.
