VOLUME XXVIII UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. EUGENE, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2. 1927 NUMBER 90 Golden Bears To Rest Camp Here Today Three-Year Coast Leaders j Bound to Retain Championship Varsity Is After Third Win From California Victory Will Give Clean Slate for Year OTWTIBS” PRICE and his basket -LY| eers, 21 stroifg, are slated to arrive in Eugene today, prepared to Joe Bally make a great er fort to defend I their title of j champions of the ’aeific coast. They have won this honor for three v e a r s straight, and have an ex cellent chance to repeat on McAr thur court, in the opinion of those who have seen the Webfoots in their last two starts against Washington and O. A. C. The season which is just culmin ating has been unique in many ways. For one thing there has been a greater distribution of strength than ever before, and there have beeu more veteran combinations than are ordinarily encountered. To show how evenly the wind blows, Wash ington humbled Oregon quite badly last Saturday night, but the evening before they had been downed rather decisively by an inspired crew of Oregon Aggies. This latter quintet, not''long before, had received the trouncing of their young lives at the hands of Montana in Missoula. The Grizzlies finished last in the northern division race. League Strength Tested Last year in winning ten straight games and the northern champion ship, the Webfoots had the three leading scorers of the conference in Okerberg, Gunther ,and Westergren. This winter Okerberg repeated, but Snider, a Washington sophomore, was close behind, and eight or nine other players ranked above the next Oregon man. This would prove one of two things. Either the 1927 Oregon team is not as strong as the 192(1 repre sentation, or the northern division is more powerful in its entirety. The coming series with California should decide this point. The Bears won last year in two straight conflicts. If Oregon can reverse the tables, the caliber of ball played in the Northwest will be vindicated. Bears Shif$ From Grid Coach Price is bringing a strong and well-balanced team from the southland. Most of the players have had experience on the gridiron, and they carry many of their football tactics over to the maple court, playing the game with a speed and abandon not ordinarily seen in the hoop game. Only two members of the victorious 1926 team are on hand this year, but enough promis ing young sophomores have ad vanced to more than offset the loss of such athletes as Carver, Captain Benny Holmes, and big Bill Hig gins. For forward duties, Price has Captain Frank Watson and Ralph Dougerv in the first line, and Lane Feehter and Milton Butts as re serves. Watson, Reinhart thinks, is the best man on the entire Bear team, being a very good shot and exceptionally adept in the hard floor game used by the southerners. Dougerv is a product of the grid iron, having played in Price’s back field last fall. He is a high scorer. Corbin Eyes All-Coast Vern Corbin, sophomore prodigy, is first string center, beating out Peterson, a letterman. The south erners expect Corbin to put it all over Okerberg in the coming series, both defensively and offensively. The Bear guards are Jim Dougerv and George Dixon. Jim Dougerv weighs around the 200 mark, and played end successfully on the 1926 California football team. He and his brother Ralph hail directly from the old sod, having first seen light in the north of Ireland. Dixon, a brother of the Jimmy Dixon who starred at halfback a year or so ago, is an all-coast selection from last year, and a tough hombre at guard. He played halfback on the Califor nia reserve team last fall. Dutch Clymer, the skinny punter, is the first substitute. Oregon has a particular distinc tion to uphold. During the current (Continued on page four) College Side Inn Is Victim of Lone Bandit’s Robbery Crowd Nonpluses Thief but Doesn’t Deter A lone man, staging a sensational single-handed robbery of the College Side Inn at 10 o’clock last night, might not have made off with the swag had not the assembled crowd been willing that the robbery go the limit. He entered the Inn just like a real robber: handkerchief, low slouch hat, a big 38, and all. When he saw the spectators who were pa tiently waiting his call he hesitat ed. Soon he regained his nerve and frantically pulled the trigger of his trusty weapon. But the 38 had seen better days and did not roar a warning; instead it only snapped, meekly like. No smoke! The bandit pulled hard on his trick pistol, once, twice, three times, without a report. The crowd began to weary, for it wished action; in fact it was advancing upon the rob ber and the robber couldn’t give ground. “Don’t move,” he shouted, “and that means all of you!” He waved the firearm in the air and once more tried the trigger. Bang. This time it spoke plainly. The crowd retreated. It felt better now—action was coming. Here the robber demanded the money: “Hand over the jack,” he said. She behind the candy counter hesitated. “Come on, throw it over, I say!” A bag full of bills fell upon the floor. The highwayman picked it up and scampered for the door; fired (Continued on page t^ree) Co-ed Debaters To Meet Utah Here Monday Oregon Women to Uphold Negative of Frat Question Cecil McKerclier and Marion Leach, women varsity debater's, will represent Oregon in the first home debate of the term next Monday night. Resolved,'' that fraternities and sororities should be abolished, is the question for debate, and the Oregon women will upihold the neg ative side of the question, against representatives of the University of Utah. “This question is a very popular one, and it should be a most inter esting debate,” said Mr. Horner, coach. “I regret that the debate comes on the same night as the sym phony orchestra.” The meet will be in the auditorium of the Music building, and will be audience de cision. This is Miss McKercher’s third year of debating. Last year she represented Oregon in a debate against the LTniversity of Washing ton in Seattle. She is a senior. Miss Leach, who is a sophomore, is a varsity debater this year; she was on the freshman team last year. First Varsity Debate to Be At 12 Today Hempstead, Clark to Meet Montana Team In Portland Commercial Group Will Be Audience Prohibition Modification Is Subject AT NOON today, before the Portland Chamber of Commerce, Oregon representatives meet the University o t Montana debaters in the first Ore gon debate of the term. D u <1 1 e v Clark and Jack Hempstead will uphold the nega tive of the ques tion, “Resolved, that the eigh teenth amendment should be so mod ified as to permit the manufacture Dudley Clark and sale of light wines and beers,” against Sydney McCarthy and James Beck, of Montana. In the evening the Oregon and Montana debaters compete on the same subject over' radio KOIX, at the Portland News. First Debate Before Chamber This is the first time the Portland Chamber of Commerce has ever heard J. Hempstead a debate or tins kind at their reg ilav weekly lunch eon. “We hope to make it a success so that they will be interested in hearing a debate next year,” said ,T. K. llorner, de bate coach. It will be an audience de cision debate, with the members of the chamber cast j ing the vote. Debaters Experienced Both Hempstead and Clark are J varsity debaters, and both repre sented the University in oratory last year. Hempstead will go to Seattle to compete in the tri-state contest; he took part in the match with the University of Sydney, Aus tralia, last term. Clark debated against the University of Washing ton last year. The debaters will be accompanied north by Mr. Hor ner. Tomorrow night, March 3, in Salt Lake City, Donald Beelar and Be noit McCroskey will debate repre sentatives of the University of Utah on the question, “Resolved, that democracy is a failure.” Oregon has the negative of the question. . Utah Debate Soon This is a return debate with Utah, since they came here to compete against Oregon last year. Both Mc Croskey and Beelar also debated against the University of Sydney, , Continued on page three) Local Children to Exhibit Work Done in Sculpturing Class Here Juveniles Taught by Miss Chase, Exceptionally Skilled in Plastic Portrayal Not since the exhibition of the ! work of the students of one Aus I trian by the name of Cizek .which | was shown on the campus two years I ago, has the University had the op portunity to see what children are | capable of creating in the field of | art. At the time of the Cizek ex ' liibition much comment was pro j yoked by the remarkable work ac ' eomplished by students so young. The showing was hailed .as one of i the greatest the campus had seen. Friday, March 4, another exhibi , tion will be held at the Chamber of '[ Commerce that in many ways will ; equal that which represented the work of Cizek’s child students. The j exhibition will contain works of sculpture and the sculptors, and work of the children of Eugerte, I among them many children of the | University faculty. For the past term and a half Pauline Chase, student in the de partment of scultpure, has been eon ! ducting a class in sculpture under the direction of Professor Avard Fairbanks, head of the department 1 of sculpture. The class, composed | of students ranging in age from six years on through the average high ; school age, was originally organized as an experiment which was to fur nish material for a boolc which Pro fessor Fairbanks is writing on the problems of elementary students in modeling. The class has been very successful, says Miss Chase, for j some of the students are actually doing better work than the average | college student. The students take their work very seriously. They are not greatly in terested in doing portrait work, in fact they show a decided preference for animals and flowers as subjects. The exhibition is being used as a nucleus to get the children of Ore gon interested in art work and to cultivate their tastes for good art. [it is the intention of Professor Fair j banks to display some of the work i at the state fair. Those who have been interested in promoting the ! (dass hope ultimately to have a trav eling exhibition of child work from I the West. Those students who , will have • work displayed in the exhibition are Virginia and Josephine Esterly, j Jack and Mariam Stafford, Richard and Frank Chambers, Lucile Ander son, Betty Rebec, Avard Fairbanks Jr., Eleanor Bullion and Whitney 1 Seobert.

Coast Basketball Championship Tilt of 1926 Was Wild and Woolly California Style Rough; Webfoots Meet Bad Luck When They Lost Star Player | By DICK STRING A little over a year ago, February ! 2G and 27, to be exact, the Univer i sity of Oregon and the University I of California basketball teams bat | tied through two strenuous contests I in the Oakland auditorium for the j Pacific coast hoop championship. | The California Bears won, 32 to 17 I and 29 to 23. Tomorrow night at 7:30 teams representing the same institutions will again face each other in a championship series to be played in the new McArthur court on the Ore gon campus. The Oregon team which is composed of three veterans from last year’s northwest championship five has not forgotten the outcome of the last series. Playing without the services of their star guard, Westergren, the Webfoots went down to anything but glorious defeat in the first game last year. The Californians began with a heavy barrage of shots and at half time had the count 18 to 6. Shortly after the beginning of the game Okerberg was put out of the tilt because of four personal fouls. The southern style of play, which is much rougher than that played in the north, seemed more like a football game to the Oregonians and their rooters. The Lemon-Yellow quintet braced in the second half and held the Bruins nearly even. The losers scored 11 points to 11 for the Berk eley five. The roughness of the Cal ifornia five was apparent in the 19 fouls called. Oregon converted only 9 of the free throws. Captain Howard Hobson, forward, was the outstanding player for the losers. He not only watched his own man, but seemed to be every place on the floor-at the same time. Jerry Gunther led Oregon’s scoring with five points while Davis, Cali fornin guard, garnered eight for I high point honors. In the second game of the cliam- i pionship series Oregon seemed to be accustomed to the rough style of j I play and gave the Californians blow j for blow. Up to the final minutes of i play the score stood a 2.1 to 23 tie. Oregon was battling terrifically, playing on even terms with the gift ed Bears. At half time the score stood 12 to 11 in favor of the Blue and Gold hoopsters. California started the second period with a rush when Watson shot a cripple and Dixon holed another to make it 16 to 11. Oregon got started when Gunther and Edwards converted fouls. A scuffle under the basket gave Ore gon another when Gunther tossed it in. A cripple by Gunther put Ore gon in the lead for the first time. Oregon drew two more points when Okerberg flipped in a perfect shot from the side lines. I With the score 19 to 17 Coach i “Nibs” Price, California coach, I made a substitution which proved ' to be the thorn in the side of Ore | gon’s championship hopes. A young I player by the yame of Butts, injec-t j ed into the fracas, seemed to give the Californians hope. Butts im mediately looped the ball through the hoop from the corner. Edwards again put Oregon in the lend with a pretty basket. From this juncture on the Bears growled enough for 10 points. Gunther again led the Oregonians in scoring with six points while Higgins led for Cali fornia with eight. Tomorrow night's basketball ser ies will be the second for Bill Mul | ligan of Spokane who officiated in the Oakland series last year. E. II. Harris, of Oakland, was the south ern official last year, but T. M. Fitz patrick, of Oakland, will act in that capacity in the coming series. Students to Aid In Entertaining Visiting Editors Abramson, Biggs, Bourhill, Alderman, to £peak At Conference Students of the school of journal ism will take a leading part in the Saturday luncheon program which will be one of the entertainment features of the ninth annual c(infer ence of Oregon editors here Friday and Saturday. Sol Abramson, editor of the Eni , erald, will act as toastmaster. Hugh Biggs, president of the Associated Students, will deliver a message, “The Students to the Editors.” Henry Alderman, Eugene Guard correspondent and Emerald editor ial writer, will speak on “The Com ing Generation.” Frances BourhiH, editor of the Oregana, will talk at the Friday night banquet given by the Eugene Chamber of Commerce. Eric W. Allen, dean of the school of journalism, is urging students, especially journalism majors, to miss no opportunity of coming into per sonal contact with the visiting edi tors. In former years, editors have i remarked that one of the most val | uable and interesting phases of the convention was the opportunity of informally meeting and talking with ; men and women on the campus, j The exchange of ideas between ’ editors and students not only in creases the interest and pleasure of the delegates in the convention, but | often forms valuable focal points of friendship in the profession. Friendship and acquaintance are mutual advantages to the young journalist looking for a job, and to I the employer looking for a young | journalist. Report on Student Needs Will be Made The final report 'of the faculty committee, which has been investi gating needed improvements in stu dent life during the last few weeks, will be made at the Anchorage at noon today. A condensed report of the talk? given by the faculty members rec •mmending changes in the campu aetivities will be given at this time, The committee is composed of the ; following: C. E. Carpenter, chair man; M. II. Douglas; Dean J. Bov 1 aid, H. W. Davis, William Schulze | Christine Holt, Miss Florence Mag mean, B. J. Giffen, and II. S.

Concert to be Given at 8:15 Has Orient Air Tonight’s Program to Be At Woman’s Building; Orchestra to Play ‘Danse Arabe’ Drips Rhythm of Tom-Tom Playing to Feature Lighter Type of Selections XTETITH an ensemble that haa ' * been enlarged by over twenty pieces, from what it was last year. Ilex Underwood will present the University of Oregon orchestra in concert tonight at 8:15, in the Wom an ’s building. This is the fourth concert on the A. S. U. O. music series. There will be no admission charged to those who hold season tickets or student body cards. Mr. Underwood has worked out a program of lighter numbers than heretofore, and unintentionally he has given the program an oriental “flavor.” Especially true is this in Tschaikowsky’s “Nut Cracker Suite.” The orchestra will play three pieces from the suite, including the “Danse Arabe,” which lias all of the “tom-tom” of the orient. Strings to Twang The program has included two ser enades for string orchestras, and ac cording to those who have heard the rehearsals these two numbers should be received very enthusias tically. One of them is the Drigo “Serenade,” which has a theme that is appealing, and the orchestra ae- % complishcs some beautiful effects in handling the piece. The light, and more or less stae eoto, Pique Dame “Overture,” by Suppe, will bo played. This selection has long been a favorite on orches tra programs, but one that is always welcomed. " ■ '■ The final number is the “Cauca ! sian Suite,” by Ivanow, and has I not been given by the orchestra be | fore. Like the Nut Cracker Suite it ! is very oriental in its atmosphere. Oriental Motif The program is ns follows: 1. La Sorolla .-March 2. Overture (Pique Dame) ....Suppe 3. Nut Cracker Suite, Tschaikowsky a. March. b. Danse Arabe. c. Danse Trepak. 4. Two Serenades for String Orches tra, a. Serenade ....Drigo b. Serenade .Pierne 5. Caucasian Suite . .Ippollotow-Ivanow a. Tn the Mountains. b. Village Dance, e, In the Mosque. d. March of the Sardar. President Hall to Talk On University and Us Students at Assembly “Ambassador* of the University,” is the topic of the address to be given by I)r. Arnold Bennett Halt, I president of the University, at the weekly assembly Thursday at eleven o’clock in the Woman’s building. In his address Dr. Hall will dis cuss the problems of development of a University and how students can serve the University. The assembly Thursday will be the last regular one of the winter term. The eleven o’clock hour on the following Thursday will be tie voted to a regular A. S. U. O. buai ' ness meeting. Student Pilgrimage To Start June 25 The annual student pilgrimage to j Europe, under the auspices of the Women’s Christian Student Move ment of the United States, is to isail from New York on June 25. The grouji will visit most of the import ant countries of Europe and will have access to practically every stu dent organization there. Twenty persons will be appointed from the pilgrimage personnel to i represent America at the Interna tional Student Conference at Schiers, Switzerland, while the oth ers will visit Italy and the Oeneva Institute of International relations which is connected with the League of Nations. Any student interested in infor mation of the trip may obtain de tails from Miss Florence Magowan, secretary of the campus Y. W. C. A. One University of Oregon student , made the trip last year.
