Referee: Ralph Coleman, O. S. C. By RICHARD IT. STRING - Sports Editor Except for a few flashes of bril liancy, the Oregon varsity basket ball team, playing its first home game of the season, defeated the Willamette University Bearcats in a rather loosely played contest, 3G ’to 17. Tek Reynolds, center, scored the • first point for Oregon two minutes after the opening whistle, when Ledbetter, Bearcat guard, fouled. The fighting W'illam etto team was not to be outdone and seored three points before the Web foots got started, Flcsher dropping in a basket from the sidelines and converted on Rey nolds’ foul. Coach “Spee” Keene’s Capital City five Gordon Ridings made a good start at the beginning of each half. The second half saw the visitor score "two baskets before the Lemon-yellow scoring combina tion functioned. Litchfield scored one right under the basket when the Oregon defense was drawn out and made a beautiful throw1 from the side for the second basket in rapid succession. Look Good in Spots The Oregon varsity basketball team showed signs of excellent team work at times and at other times played very erratically. The Lemon yellow offensive lacked speed. The Willamette five man defense, which was nearly impregnablj at Jimes, forced the local hoopsters to wait for a break and practically all the varsity baskets were made from a push shot position. Defensively Reinhart’s hoopsters looked good, getting back with speed to guard their own basket and did some nice checking. Gordon Ridings, varsity forward, led the Webfooters in scoring with 13 points. He did some nice shoot ing from difficult angles and with excellent dribbling brought the ball down for scoring on other occasions. Ridings’ high point honors was closely seconded by Scott Milligan, Oregon guai%, who garnered an even dozen. Litchfield Bearcat Star For the visitors, Captain Kenneth Litchfield was the outstanding- per former and led his teammates with 10 markers. Litchfield made sev eral long shots from the sidelines. His foul shooting eye was function ing perfectly, converting four fouls out of the same number of attempts. Bob Ashby, who went into the game after the first half was well started, played a good floor game for the losers. Had the "Willamette team been able to find the hoop, a different scoy might have resulted. Out of 47 tries for baskets only five were niade. Seven out of ten tries for fouls were converted. The Lemon yellow scoring machine was far from perfect, scoring a little over 27 per cent of its shots. Fourteen baskets were made out of 51 tries. Eight of the 11 fouls were converted. The second contest of the two game series will be played tonight at 7:15. This evening’s tilt will probably see a greater number of Oregon players getting into the struggle. Oregon Men Debate Before Huge Crowds in China and the Philippines Precarious Trip Into tlie Wilds of China Told By Hempstead By W. K. HEMPSTEAD JTJ. CANTON, China, 3.—(Special tn the Editor.)—Those of you who have not studied the Murray War ner collection of Oriental art or the philosophical sayings of Sing Leo find it hard to either interest yourselves in or to understand the ancient contributions of China to civilization. It is truly hard to trace the history of her hoary de velopment, extending as it does far back into the remotest antiquity, for thousands and thousands of years. It is of ancient China that Sing Lee spoke: “Whence came the magic compass That guides across the sea, Whence came the art of printed P‘1gp» That tells this tale for me? They came from out that mystic land Where yellow dragons feast, ' The text of many a wondrous tale, Came out of the Amber East. Difficult as it is to appreciate the old, it is more vexing to the American people to follow the com plicated disturbances which now feature the reconstruction period of the Chinese Republic. For age old. China, old when the world was young, where civilization flowered when the rest of the world was steeped in darkness, is today a land | (Continued on page three) Ten Thousand Turn Out To Hear U. of O. Men Debate in Manila By BENOIT McCBOSKEY "We are now on our way back to Hong Kong after a stay of only two days in Manila. Even in that short time, we bad two debates, attended three banquets and a midnight dance, made a tour of Manila and the surrounding country, lin'd our pictures taken at least a hundred and fifty times^ ami spoke at both the University of the Philippines and Santa Tomas. Can you imagine a crowd of ten thousand people turning out to hear a college debate? That's what hap pened when we debated the Univer sity of the Philippines on the ques tion of Philippine independence. Of course, the question is vital to the people, and is the ono thing that everyone is interested in. A squad of over twenty police was detailed to handle the traffic and the lingo crowd that thronged the street try ing to get in when all the seats and standing room was gone. Tele grams came from the provinces re serving seats, ticket scalpers were selling tickets at prices ranging from five pesos to as high as fif teen, and the police reported that it was the largest crowd ever to assemble at the Opera house. Need less to say, we lost by an audience decision—we were opposing inde (Continued on page three) ‘University Day’ To Be Soon Under Auspices Of Woman’s League Plans were outlined to members of the committeo for a statewide /‘University Day” at a dinner given at Hendricks Hall January 5.

A. A., who has charge of these arrange ments. This program will consist of talks by physical education in structors and demonstrations by stu dents in the physical education de partment. The program, from 10 to 12 , o ’clock, Friday morning, is a con ference held by the Woman’s Ath letic association in the women’s gymnasium, whose purpose is to discuss topics of interest to high School girls and to give them some thing they can take back with them to their respective high schools. Dr.' Wilmott Osborne, assistant Univer sity physician, will give a short lec ture on (“Health rules for/](i^h school girls,” Miss Martha Hill will discuss “rhythm and dance,” Miss Josephine Shelly will explain the game of speedball, and Miss Emma Waterman will give direc tions for the organizing of women’s athletic associations in high schools and will also explain the Oregon state point system.

It will in clude interpretive dancing, spon sored by Orchesis; folk dancing, speedball, and tumbling. Tumbling should afford especial entertainment as it is something that is not taught regularly in the University, but is i being put on by physical education majors under the direction of Miss Hill. This demonstration closes the girl’s athletic program and imme diately following this, the style ■ show, sponsored by the Women’s, League, will be held in the woman’s , gymnasium.

It is imperative that every senior man and woman be present.” A.S. U.O. Head and Secretary Return From National Meet in Nebraska Beelar Reports Professor of Northwestern University Favoring Grades for Faculty The West is away ahead of the East in the technical organization of student affairs, according to Donald Beeler, president of the A. S. U. O. who with Vena Gaskill, secretary, attended the third an nual convention of the National Students’ Federation of America in Lincoln, Nebraska, December 15 to 17. Two hundred delegates were present, about one hundred and twenty-five colleges and universities being represented. The consideration of student gov ernment was one of the high lights of the convention, a questionaire be ing formulated by a committee of four which will be sent to all in stitutions of higher learning in the country and answers later compiled and published. Mr. Beeler was a member of the student government committee. Mr. Beeler stated that in the east only about one-half of the schools have student control and that us ually this is in reference to social rather than administrative affairs. At the first meeting of the en tire Congress on Saturday morning after a day spent in registering the delegates and sight seeing, the pro gram of the convention and its aims wero outlined and temporary com mittees on problems of curricula, the honor system, student govern ment, athletics, the fraternity sys tem and foreign relations wero ap pointed. By this means delegates were privileged to hear those prob lems discussed which concerned them most. At a later congress session, reports of all the commit tees wero heard and approved. One of the most outstanding speakers at the convention in the estimate of Mr. Beeler was Profes sor Todd of the sociology depart ment of Northwestern University. Ilis subject was “The College Here tic,” whom he heartily approves. He also entertained the idea of stu dents being permitted to grade their college professors—“one, if he is Very good, and perhaps a five if he flunks the student.” Professor Todd saw possibilities in some such a system. “The tenor of the whole conven tion, I think, is not so much prac tical as social and cultural,” said Mr. Beeler in summing up his idea of the N. S. F. A. annual meeting. (Continued on page twol
