W. E. Hempstead Explains Jaunt Through India Mahatmi Ghandi Greets Boys; Name Refused As Signature Tourists Visit Historic Indian Sites Word lias again been received from tlie round-the-world debaters. They are ui India and the words of W. E. Hempstead will best de scribe the situation. The letter was dated January 2, 1928. He says: “A short time ago we were within a hundreds yards of the ex act site of ‘the black hole of Cal cutta.' Sweltering under India’s blistering sun, fighting malarial mosquitos wjth our sun helmets, we roamed around the burning ghats, sacrifical temples and memorial temples and monuments of India’s largest city, teeming with the same dark-skinned Hindus who made Clive’s stay here unpleasant many years ago. ‘' I sot li Jrefore and after debating the Indian .representatives of Nag pur University on tin; question of democracy, many scenes passed in panoramic, fashion before our eager eyes. For in our ten-day stay in the empire through which we traveled nearly three thousand miles, we did Calcutta, (second only to London in the British Umpire); Benares, sacred city of the Hindus, whose worship center it has been since tin; caste system was established by the Brahmins from the north; and -Agra, site of woman’s greatest mon ument—the Taj Mahal. Debaters Meet Gliandi “At Madras wc met personally Maliatnii Gliandi, greatest leader in India because of his non-Coopera tion movement, and as press repre sentatives in the 42nd Indian na tional congress while 25,000 of the favorite chosen sons of India passed resolutions for immediate independ ence from Great Britain. “Living on the very banks of the millrace at Oregon for the past three years in a certain house, which 1 learned in Calcutta has acquired additional fame for noise making in the Home-coming ceremonies, I have seen that sentimental body of water under many circumstances. Ij is much mure romantic in a canoe on a spring moonlight night than about two o’clock some February morning during a blizzard, especial ly when one is attired in less cloth ing than is comfortable even for a Freshman. On certain of these me morable mill-race parties I happen to have noticed the ‘old mill race’ exceptionally muddy. In compari son with the cess pool bathing places or. the Ganges, it is far cleaner. I do not see how the famous composer of ‘Moonlight on the Ganges’ could have received his inspiration from this filthy stream.

Visit Home of Ghandl Most everyone including college ■students know that Mahatma Ghan di lives in India. Hearing that- lie v/as in Madras one day as we were proceeding to Colombo to catch our boat for Kgypt, we went to his home and met him. Squatting wit-h his legs crossed under a muslin breech cloth, his only clothing, and read ing a Madras English paper through his delicate spectacles, his sharp features betraying no emotion at our presence, sat the great Swaraj leader. Jle was observing a day of silence, lie wrote to us on a piece of brown scratch paper, and he couldn’t sign our address books un less we wore muslin clothes, which we refused to do. We took a movie of him as lie sat there but the light was very dim. , * -♦> ‘hiring our fusillade of introdue tory letters at tlie chairman of the reception committee, we were given fiee press tickets ho the 42ml In dian National Congress then meeting nt Mn liras.

Spike Leslie’s ducklings put up a determined fight throughout the contest although the invading Orange youngsters seemed to have the edge most of the time. The Aggie percentage style !of basketball is already apparent in these embryo Beaver casaba stars. On frequent occasions when the Corvallis yearlings drew avhay from the frosh on the scoreboard they backed up and began playing kcep away—much to the discomfiture of the frosh. Whether or not this Aggie style is popular with the fans and with opponents is beside the question. The main point is that it seems to work. It is a dangerous threat. The Aggies seem to want their rivals to attempt to close in on them—to get the opposition off balance for an instant when they can dash in for an offensive thrust. It must be admitted that when an offense is needed the rooks cai produce one. When they need points they abandon their “ring-around-lm rosey” tactics and get down to business of breaking in. Most o their offensive plays seem to depem on correct timing—as against, the frosli system which is apparently a system adaptable to the spur of the moment with no regard for timing. ! Ballard and I.bager were the prin cipal gad flys.to Ihe frosli basket- j ■ers. Ballard was high point man with 1L pointers. Drager, guard, I garnered I). Horner, for the frosli, was the next high pointer with 7. Archer collected 5 and Calkins and Lillie 4 each. This Saturday the freshmen will have a chance for a comeback when hey journey over to Aggieland with the varsity to engage the rooks in i return preliminary. The frosli show an improvement over their Washington freshman exhibition of :i week ago Saturday. If they con tinue to improve as much this week as they demonstrated last they should lie ready to turn the tables on the rooks.

McMURPHEY and his KOLLEGE KNIGHTS in “ARABY” Scribes Squelch Squeals of Shyster Basketeers in Over-Time Tilt 27-19 I If a little mouse should inadver tently wander into the attic in the Oregon building, where embryo bar risters play hide and seek among voluminous law books, and should in a lilting mood, playfully scamper across the floor, said playful scam per would sound like a rampage of the “thundering herd,” from one of Zane Grey’s western thrillers. Such is the deathlike stillness that hovered over the law school since Saturday afternoon, when the pride and flower of the profession came back to their stomping grounds after a heart-rending, blood-letting, vain effort to wrest from the school of journalism the cherished gonfalon which represents the inter-depart ment basketball supremacy of the University. The game was in breath-stopper from the start. Like Dempsey in his comebaek and his famous seventh round spree, the lawyers led the scribes, 13 to 7, at half time. In the intermission between halves the scribes were given a psychological treatise on what the disgrace of a j defeat by the lawyers would mean : to the journalism profession. As a result the seepnd half ended 19 to 19, necessitating an over-time period. When the over-time pej'iod f: ided the scribes had redeemed C mselves, winning the t.iss'e, to 19.

The grounds for this bit of strategy was that his name, Boyer, rhymed with “lawyer.” He made 10 points for the barristers— over half of their total. Another move was their selection of Lyle Grimes as scorekeeper. How many points he made is a matter of con jecture. He is friendly to a girl "hose brother used to work in the law library. The scribes offset the Grimes handicap by countering with “Chuck” Mnrlett as referee. “Chuck” is not a journalist—but—! And now the scribes hope that never more will their sleep be dis turbed by disgruntled wails exuding from the portals of the law school questioning the casaba superiority of the invincible journalists.
