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.

world’s sevun wonders. An appre

we refused to do. We took a movie

In Sprightly Tilt
Second Conference Game
Shows Yearlings
Improving
Last Saturday night the Oregon
frosh lost their second conference
start when they took it on the but
ton, 27 to 24, from the Aggie rooks.
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.

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.

lineup. 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. Game
