University Gets Tall and Heavy j Men, Say ‘Docs’ Women Better Developed Generally, However, Exams Show The percentage results of the physical examinations for incoming students have been totalled and the results appear in the February is sue of “Nation’s Health.” According to the statistics, which were drawn up by Dr. Fred Miller and Dr. Wilmoth Osborne, the av erage man attending the University is taller and heavier than the av erage man from any other univer sity from which data has been ob tained. ■ The percentage of girls who are ten pounds or more overweight is only seventeen. The boys’ percent age along the same line outdoes the girls by eight units. The girls score on all-round good development is, surprisingly, higher than the boys, for forty-five per cent of the girls were considered in general good health, while the boys’ score was only thirty-nine. Oregon is admittedly in the goitre belt. Yet both the doctors who car ried on the investigation consider that sixty per cent for girls, and fourteen per cent for boys, are too high, even under the disadvantag eous condition of climate. The highest score for ailments went to colds, for sixty-six per cent of both boys and girls were either subject to or complained of frequent colds. As a result of the eye tests, the two doctors who conducted the in vestigation are considering adding astigmatism tests to the other sim ple eye tests. Lung disease was found to be rare, and heart trouble even more scarce. Both Dr. Osborne and Dr. Miller believe “that young people are too often told that they have heart trouble when there is nothing but a rapid pulse.” Boxing Tournament Is Postponed Until March 11 at Stanford The intercollegiate boxing tourna ment to be held at Stanford today has been postponed to March 11. “This has been done in order that more colleges will have an op portunity to enter competing teams,” said Perry Davis, boxing instructor, yesterday. According to Davis the Oregon men are in excellent shape for the meet, and step through four fast two-minute rounds at the men’s gymnasium each afternoon between four and five o’clock. “In the tournament all bants will be three two-minute rounds,” said Mr. Davis. “My proteges can do four right now. The fellows are talc ing these -work-outs as serious as if they were going into actual com petition. I expect them to give ex cellent accounts of themselves in the meet.” Harold Little, 1?5 pounds, shows promise of bringing back the coast title in his weight, says the in structor. Maurice Collings looks good in the 160 pound class. Rob ert Barnes and Brent Finch are hav ing it out as to which one will repre sent Oregon in the 145 pound class. Davis predicts boxing will soon be installed in college athletics as a minor sport and bases his opinion on the present interest being shown by the men turning out. Debaters Chosen For Semi-Finals Of Jewett Prizes Finals for the Jewett prizes, awarded for excellence in debating, will be held March 10. Two debat ers have been chosen from each sec tion of Mr. J. Stanley Gray’s and Mr. J. K. Horner’s public speaking classes, who will compete for the semi-finals, to take place March 7. The winners of the semi-finals will debate March 10. Resolved, that woman’s place is in the home, is the question on which the speakers will compete, Thurs day, March 10, in the public speak ing room in Villard hall. George Jackson and Essie Henrik sen have been chosen from Mr. Gray’s two o’clock class; Claude Hall and George Cherry from the ten o’clock class; Albert Wright and William Stiver front the 0 o’clock class; and Rexford Hibbs and John Waldron from the 11 o ’clock class.

Dahl and Mautz Cause Furore in Law Ranks; Handball Title Is Stake In what were probably the most spectacular games played in the handball doubles tournament, Hues tis and Parker defeated Sorsby and Gabriel in the semi-finals 7-21, 21-9, 21-12. Both teams were in championship form according to spectators, alter nate spurts of brilliant playing by one or the other of the pairs ac counting for the unusual scoring. To be the undisputed champs of the University Huestis and Parker will have to wait until the losers’ bracket is played out and then take on the winner for the title. Recent big celebrations in the vicinity of Oregon hall have lead to investigations which brought out startling news. One reveler stopped in his tracks long enough to divulge that the reason was because Carl Dahl and Bob Mautz have been winning hand ball matches with disgusting reg ularity. Starting out on Taylor and Dal las whom they defeated 21-8, 1-1, the Blackstone diva duet .forged through the ranks of Howard and Knutsen to get at Cohn and Long. Howard and Knutsen gave up after being handed the can 21-12, 21-17 and Cohn and Long took the short end of a 12-21, 21-12, 21-14 score. If Dahl and Mautz win the title, law adherents claim they will en grave their names on every chair in the University and celebrate by closing the law library at 9:00 p. m. next Monday night. Washington to Rebuild Diamond Aggregation UNIVERSITY OP WASHING TON, Seattle—(PIP)—With ten lettermen lost from last year’s championship baseball team, Coach Tubby Graves will have to build a new diamond combination this spring. A number of good men are left from last year’s super-varsity and more are coming up from the 1926 frosh squad. March 7 has been set as the time for battery men to re port and March 21 for the infield ers and outfielders. A large turn out is expected. The first conference game will be against the Univer sity of Oregon, April 29, at Seattle. Quaint Scenes, Children, And Racial Types to Feature New Art Exhibit Three Women Artists Display Great Versatility With Oil, Water Colors and Etchings Probably an exhibition has never been shown here that represented the work of three artists whose work has received the praise and worthy criticisms that the etchings of Loren Barton, Margery Ryerson and Anne Goldthwaite whose works will be hung in the exhibiting room of the Art building sometime next week have received. All three wo- ! men are versatile artists and are j known equally for their oil paint- ; ings, water colors and etchings. Loren Barton has been represent- | ed in the California state library,; Chicago Art institute, National Mu seum, and in the permanent collec tion of the Los Angeles museum. She delights in sketching quaint scenes in old quarters of New- Or leans, San Francisco and Los An geles. She is very adept at depict ing distinctive, racial types such ns the Russian, English, Oriental and Spanish. Her etchings are dis tinguished chiefly for that rare and intangible quality called atmos phere. Underlying it is inherent facility and compelling draughts manship. It has been said that she has a technical mastery that ‘'ex udes an emotional aura subtle tone variations suggesting effects of color and light when there is really only black and white. Yet despite these tendencies, Miss Barton seems less influenced by the romantic than by the realistic. Margery Ryerson, winner of the Joan of Are silver medal, is espe cially well-known for her portraits, those of children being exquisitely delicate. There is something sugges tive of the modern school in her work, in the sketchy technique which is somehow satisfying be cause it is suggestive, because it gives the essence of the story and leaves the observers imagination to furnish the details. In her treatment of child por traits she is declared to be sensi tive to every grace and whimsy of childhood and .is able to convey j the most fleeting expressions with a spontaniety that is amazing. Miss Rverson uses drypoint and does it so j effectively as to produce a lum inous, evanescent quality. In this collection, a delicate drypoint of the famous Indian philosopher, Rab indranath Tagore, is one of the out standing pieces of work. She has studied under Robert Henri and Charles Hawthorne, both of whom are master artists. Anne GoUlthwaite. a southern wo man and vice-president of the Brooklyn Society of Etchers stud ied in New York under Walter Shir law and later in France with Char les Guerin. She was one of the or ganizers of the Academic Moderne. She was at one time an ardent dis ciple of Cezanne. Her work, how ever, is not in any sense imitative. It reflects a vigorous and definite temperament and a remarkable sense of movement animates her work. Miss Goldthwaite has done a se ries of southern negro portrayals. They reflect what one reviewer has termed ‘‘the lightness of touch of the well-bred Old South, with the disenchanted wisdom of Paris ad ded. 7 7 Each woman is the possesses of an enviable reputation and the fortune of the University is tripled by get ting a collection including the work o fall three. In addition to the exhibition of etchings there is also a showing of some of the work of Julian Lamarr, portrait painter who is in Eugene for a time, Mr. Lamarr’s work in portraiture presents something very different. His work has a definite characteris tic about it that makes it of spe cial interest to those who enjoy portrait work. His perfection of drawing and line and frankness makes his paintings startlingly vivid. Mr. Lamarr’s paintings will be shown for only a couple of days so those desiring to see them as well as the etchings are urged to visit the showing immediately. ! Three Institutions May. Enter 28 Swim Meets Idaho, W. S. C., and Washington are all planning to put swimming teams in the water next year, ac cording to reports received from the northern schools. This news is of special interest in view of the fact that it is rum ored that 0. A. C. may not enter a team for 1928, and Coach Aber crombie would have trouble sched uling sufficient meets to keep his men busy if the other schools re fused to compete. ‘‘Besides the usual practice meets ■with Multnomah club, next year’s schedule is planned to include meets with the 4 northwest schools and a dual meet at Eugene with Stan ford University, while California also may come,” says Abercrombie. Eight Vandals Given Letters in Basketball UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, Mos cow—(PIP)—Eight Idaho Vandals have been recommended "to the ex ecutive board of the A. S. U. I. for basketball letters.

We could get a boat in Scotland and come right down— Penzance is the jumping off place— and go all the way to Cyprus.” And they did—this young Scotch man, Arthur Hildebrand, and an American friend bought a fifty four-foot yawl, sailed from the Port of Glasgow to Athens, took a flying trip to Constantinople and returned to Marseilles. “Blue Wa ter,” one of the new books in the library, is the record of their cruise. It gives the real feeling of life on a small cruising yacht, in the nights on deck, long fights with head winds, by mountain coasts, to safe REX NEW SHOW TODAY Peter B.
