The Willamette Bearcat game brings the total contests to be played to eight, six of which count in the Pacific Coast confer ence standing, and gives the Web foot gridders one of the heaviest schedules in history. The Webfooters have not met the Bearcats on their home lot since ll'lM when .Toe M.oddock, then head coach, took his green Oregon eleven to Salem and was held to a scoreless tie. The fighting Capitol City eleven almost upset the dope in that fr.v scoring one touchdown that was recalled because of a penalty. According to Jack Benefiel, Or egon’s graduate manager and re cently elected president of the Pa eiric (Joast contr ence managers ' homecoming c test, in all pr' ability, will held November when the Mr tana Grizzlies i' vade the campn Beneficl is no certain whetlie the Stanf or' game will be play ed on the campus or m I’ortland. As it now stands, Jack Benefiel tlic tilt is scheduled for the campus. If tlie game is played here, October 0 will probably be designated as “Dad’s Day” and a special program will be arranged that Saturday and Sunday. “Dad’s Day” games were very popular in the middle west during the past grid season.

Budding potential varsity material and lettermen will start turning out for spring football the later part of this month. Spring training will be continued a greater portion of this term and also in the spring sem ester. McEwan plans of dividing up the aspirants into groups and instruc tion will be to small groups instead of one large squad. Scrimmages will be held later on in the term. Oregon hoop fans will have a number of opportunities to watch the varsitv basketball in action be fore the first conference game, Jan uary 21, with the University of Ida ho Vandals.

The varsity hoqpsters engaged in three practice tilts during Christ mas vacation and won the trio with little trouble. Their first game, against the Checkerboards in Port land which was won 47 to 23, the showed the lack of practice as a unit. Individually each player like he was rounding into condition. A few under-the-basket shots were missed during the first half but the second period saw the ball go through the net with regularity. Ruth Snvder Trembles As She Awaits Fate OSSIXIXG, X.

He is not a conventional pacifist.” Bill Schulze, “Y” president, was enthusiastic. “He is a real speaker, and was the first to draw fire from the audience at the convention,” he said. “He does not depend upon emotional appeal, but relies on his unusually wide knowledge to put ] across his points.” Henry Xorton is in charge of the 1 committee handling Page’s visit. Members are Professor Victor Mor ris, Borothy Thomas, Christine Holt, Pauline Stewart, Bill Clark, and Bill Schulze.

Lindy Dodges Fighting Area In Nicaragua Flier* Arrives in Capitol As Marines Prepare Rebel Attacks Insurgent Chieftain Called a Murderer Congressmen Attack U. S. Policy in South (By United Press) MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Jan 5. —Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh ar rived here today from Tegucigalpa, Honduras. He flew within a few miles of the area where the American murines were fighting the forces of General Angustino Sandino, rebel liberal. Lindbergh thus completed the fifth leg of his Central American j tour. It was a twist of circumstances that brought the “ambassador of good will” to Nicaragua when the American marines were planning to attack the strongholds of the San dino forces. A machine gun company of 120 men today moved toward Quilali to join the United States marines wag ing warfare against the rebel lead er, General Angustino Sandino, (Copyright, 102S by United Press) WASHINGTON, ' .Tan 5.—Major General John A. Lejeune, marine eorjis commander, declared today that Augustino Sandino, leader of the so-called rebel faction in Nicar agua, is a “bandit and murderer” and that the United States expects to “eliminate” him before the August elections in Nicaragua. fBv TTpited Press' WASHINGTON, .Jan !3.-vAHooks, on and defense of tlie adminstra tion’s Nicaraguan policy marked the afternoon in the senate and house. After Senator AVheeler, democrat, had introduced a resolution for an investigation of United Stntes-Nic araguan policies, Senator Heflin, democrat, Alabama, attacked the ad ministration and charged that an alliance between Wall Street and Catholic hierarchy was responsible for bloodshed in Nicaragua. Inter-F raternity Track Meet Plans Being Formulated The track outlook for the coming season 1ms considerably brightened, due to the return to school of L. E. Jensen, varsity miler last year, and Claire McKennen, who showed promising ability in running the year. Only one man was lost due year. Only one man was lost dut to poor grades, that was Wade Rutherford, who runs both the quar ter and half-mile. In the line of winter track work, a meeting of the inter-fraternity council is to be held some time this week, in order to arrange the de tails of the big intramural track meet, which is to be an event of the winter term. Present plans in dicate that after a few practice meets, a grand final will be held in MqArtliur Court. This epic contest is expected to last for two or three evenings, and the aspiring heroes will have a real chance to show their speed. The meet will be open to anyone in the fraternity, but a limit will probably be placed upon the number of events in which each man can participate. Every event except the discus and javelin will be included in the mighty battle for track supremacy. Further de tails will be published after the meeting of the council. President Hall Back ; Is Recovering from Operation Rapidly President Arnold Bennett Hall is now at his home in Eugene, where he has been for the past week, re-i covering from the effects of a ton-j sit operation.

Webfoots Win Three Holiday Hoop Contests Checks and Club Team Of Portland Lose To Webfooters The Webfoot basketball team made a clean sweep of the three enmes played during the holidays. The Checkerboards and the Mult nomah club were beaten on succes sive nights at Portland, and the Roseburg Collegians at Roseburg. Tlie Checkerboard game played! on December 27 was the first contest of the season for the Oregon hoop ers. Reinhart’s team displayed con siderable power, turning the Checks back, 47 to 22. Although the score indicates a 2 to 1 margin, the Ore gonians showed a lack of team work, and were pressed at all times by the fast Portland quintet. The following night the Webfoot ers defeated the Multnomah team, 58 to 20. The eo-ordination that was absent on the previous night be gan to assert itself in this tilt, and the Oregon men bad little diffi culty in piling up a large score. At Roseburg the Webfoots ran up against an experienced team espe cially proficient in defensive tactics. Oregon’s offensive combination was unable to get started throughout tiie first half, but. came back strong in the second period to win, 54 to 29. Individual high point honors went to Ridings and Milligan in- the three games played, but the work of the rest of the squad was equally notable. Jon Bally at guard im proved rapidly with each game, and is counted on to bo one of the Webfoot ers’ most dependable per formers in the championship race. Three m*n, Ray Edwards, Ink Reynolds, and Howard Eberhart, were used at the tip-off position. Edwards saw most action, but Rey nolds and Eberhart pushed the com petition to a keen edge. The starting lineup for all three games was the* same. Milligan and McCormick, forwards; Edjwfardsy center, and Ridings and Bally, guards. Emmons, Chastain, Rey nolds, Hummelt, Epps, Eberhart, and Dowsett were the reserves used on the trip. Lawrence To Serve On Jury of Awards Ellis F. Lawrence, (lean of the school of architecture and allied arts of the University, has been in vited to serve on the jury of awards for the selection of architectural drawings for the new stock exchange building of San Francisco. The competition for the plans will be open to California architects and will close sometime before Feb ruary ,‘f, at which time Dean Law rence will be in San Francisco to assist in deciding the ■winning con tribution of plans. Regents Approve New Dormitorj for O. S. C. (Fly United Press) CORVALLIS, Ore., Jan. J>.—An Oregon State College dream of many years, a men’s dormitory, was a step nearer today, following approval of the board of regents of building plans. A call for bids was author ized also. Accommodations for 320 students will be provided in the building which will replace Poling hall, a converted war barracks. Law Professors Back From Chicago Meet Charles E. Carpenter, dean of the University law school; Hugh Kos son, law school secretary, and Lon L. Fuller, associate professor of law, returned recently from Chicago, where they attended tho annual convention of the American Asso ciation of Law Schools, held Decem ber 29, 30 and 31. Webfooters And Bearcats Play Tonight 1928 Basketball Season Opens at McArthur Court, 7:15 Billy Reinhart’s Five Is Favored To Win Fall Term A. S. U. O. Cards Are Necessary By JOE riONEY lAVillinm J. Reinhart’s Wcbfoot basketball team will open its home scaHou tonight against the Willam ette University five. Two games are scheduled with ; the second to be S played tomorrow night. Both tilts ; will begin at 7:15 | at M e Art h u r 5 court. Oregon’s 1928 quintet is herald ' ed as a “diamond in the rough” and is recolconed to have enough pow er to be consider Bill Reinhart ed a prominent contender for the Northwest title. To what extent the Webfootcrs nro tc be feared by any other Northern teams will be determined by the outcome of the games with the fast Bearcat squad. Men Switched. Characteristic of the stylo of play coached by Reinhart, the positions of the regular players have been re versed. Each man has a definite job to perform, and it matters but little whether it is called a guard or a forward. McCormick and Mil ligan, who were listed as forwards • during the holiday games, are slated to start at guards tonight. Ridings and Bally, previously filling the guard berths, will work against Willamette as forwards. The center on the Oregon team eomes the nearest to playing an or thodox position. As soon as the ball is tossed up, however, he becomes either a guard or a forward. Oregon is none too strong at cen ter, but the close competition for that position is apt to develop a dependable man. Howard Eberlinrt, Ick Reynolds and Ray Edwards nro staging a spectacular battle for the pivot job, but at present none of them hold any outstanding advan tages over the others. Reynolds will bo in the starting lineup to night. Team Balanced. * Although the 192H Oregon team does not include such great indi vidual stars as appeared last year, Reinhart believes that the present team will function with greater co ordination and consistency. The Webfooters are far from being mid-season form, but with a number of preliminary games scheduled they will have ample opportunity to pre pare for the opening conference game with the University of Idaho on January 21. Milligan and Ridings have given the Webfoots the greatest offensive power so far this season. Botli these men were the heaviest scorers in the three games played, and are de veloping into consistent shooters under the basket. Ridings is prob ably the best defensive man on the team, and usually holds his man to a low score. Willamette Star Out. .Toe Bally aiul Don McCormick, re serves from last year’s team, 'com plete the Webfoot combination. Neither is outstanding yet, but much improvement ^>ver their playing form of last year is evident. Willamette’s team is not thought to be as strong as the Webfoots’ but the Bearcats have been working together in smooth style, winning all pre-season games with the ex ception of the Oregon Mohawk tilt. Spec Keene, Bearcat coach, reports that his team will not have its full strength for the Oregon series. Ed Cardinal, stellar tip-off man who injured a leg in the Mohawk fray, has not sufficiently recovered to warrant his appearance tonight. Games at 7:15 The Webfoot reserve squad will probably have the opportunity of breaking into the game tonight. Epps, Hummelt, Chastain, Dowsett, Eberhart, Edwards, are all making strong bids for regular positions. Oregon students will be admitted te the games upon presentation of their fall term A. S. U. O. cards. Both men and women will enter the north gate. The bleacher seats are reserved for men, and the east grandstand for the women.
