Gonzaga Bulldogs
Humble Oregonians
In Ragged Contest
* ---
Northern Team Clearly Superiors in
26 to 22 Victory Over Webfooters:
Oregon Lacks Effective Teamwork
Final Came of Willamette Hoop Series Scheduled
For McArthur Court Tonight at 8:15 o’Clock
By JOE PIGNEY
Oregon’s basketball team is considerably less highly touted
now than it was before the Gonzaga game last night. The sup
posedly easy Bulldogs forged to the front soon after the open
ing of the second half, and consistently maintained a lead to
finally win, 26 to 22.
The Webfoots were clearly off form, and outclassed by Gon
zaga almost from the outset of the contest. The Oregonians
will have an opportunity to redeem themselves against Wil
^ lamette tonight on McArthur court at 8:15 o'clock. The Bear
cats have a fast coming team and nearly upset Oregon at Salem
last Tuesday. It t no \\ ebtoots pin}
the same ragged ball displayed las
night, a second defeat is inevitnbb
A desperate attempt in tlie elosinf
minutes of the game to regain tin
load was the Webfoots’ only organ
Billy Reinhart
lzeu attack on tlie
‘ Oonzaga basket
the entire game.
Something ev a s
definitely lacking
in the Oregon team
work, and the
, Bulldogs, quick tc
| sense their oppor
, tunities, reaped
, the benefit of the
Webfoot weakness
. Oregon had a
12 to 9 lead at the
. opening of the
second half, and
Roy Hughes soon
increased it 10 14 to !). The Well
foots, through Gordon Hidings and
Hay Edwards, lifted their total to
17, but the Bulldog offensive gath
4 ored speed and evened the count.
From then on the race was nip and
tuck until the final gun.
Gonzaga Goes Ahead
Murphy, Gonzaga center, put his
team in front It) to 17, the first time
the Webf'oots had been headed this
season. Gonzaga's sudden spurt and
its capture of the lead caused Bill
Reinhart, Oregon coach, to shift his
combination, d ho regulars were un
able to hold the northerners, so Mil
ligan and Hidings were withdrawn
and McCormack and Emmons sent
in. The change had no effect and
Gonzaga continued to outplay Ore
gon.
The Bulldogs had the Welifoots on
the run and boosted their lead to
six points. Milligan and Ridings
were again rushed back into the
fray, but by that time Gonzaga was
satisfied that it had sufficient points
for a victory. The Bulldog players
held onto the ball, and the best Ore
gon could do was stand by and look
on while the northerners played
around their own basket.

The town girls committee, under
Alice Carter and Emmajane Rorer,
and the Eugene division, under Del
Addison, have riot yet reported any
results, but indications are pointing i
towards successful solicitations, said
dim Raley, circulation manager.
“It is essential that the required
quota be filled,” said John Nelson, j
business manager of the Oregana,
“as this will allow us a great leeway
in securing extra features and ad
ditional departments, without incur
ring too great a debt for the stu

Bevy of Giggling Boys cind Girls
Sing and Recite at College Night
A glimpse of college in its lighter
moments, very light moments, was
seen last night in College Night at
the Woman’s building.
A school of giggling children in
patched pants, short dresses, and
various lined wigs, was held on the
stage under the leadership of their
harsh teacher, Bill Crawford, who
spanked their wrists unfeelingly.
Since this was exhibition day at
the school, Madge Normilo, dressed
in pink rompers, sang blues songs,
accompanied by Johnny Robinson
and his Varsity Vagabonds.
After much coaxing by the teach
er and tiie other pupils, .To Ralston,
Louise Storla and Marjorie Clark
sang “I Cau’t Give You Anything
But Love.” Without much coaxing
Cliff Bird, Boh McAlp'.^ and Mor
ris Kinney, school boys, sang trio
numbers.
Bob McAlpin handles a mean'
ilummy in the person of Cliff Bird.
These two gave a ventriloquist aet.
Bud Reynolds and Len Thompson
proved themselves to be expert soft
shoe dancers. Even at their tender
age, they have great skill in shak
ing a toe.
The “dramy” department of the
school, represented by Grace Gard
ner and Joy Ingalls, described the
precarious position of the frog who
sits “on what he ain’t got hardly
almost’’ in lilting lyrics.
To add a serious note to the per
formance the Sigma Alpha Epsilon
quartet sang “As I Sit and Bream j
at Evening.” The quartet is com-1
posed *of Donald Eva, Arthur Han
son, Billy Sievers and C'hown
Phillips.
Johnny Robinson’s Varsity Vaga
bonds furnished the melody for the
entire performance.
Rosser Atkinson had charge of
the College Night.

Krawl Breaks
Out Tonight at
Few Tickets Left for Hop;
Many Features Billed,
Kach Is a Main Event
The big struggle of the term be
gins tonight when the first strains
of Johnny Robinson’s orchestra, the
Varsity Vagabonds, float out upon
the collegiate atmosphere of the
Krnzy Kopy Krawl at the Campa
Shoppe.
"Be sure and bring your tickets
with you, and they will be collected
during the dancing,” said Weber.
All tickets purchased from regular
salesmen carry a reservation with
them.
The features of the evening will
be given by the best talent of the
campus. Madge Normile, famed as
a blues singer, is on the card for a
couple of rounds. Bobbie 'Warner,
well-known hoofer, will go a canto
or so. Then there aro three trios
billed. The girls’ trio, composed of
Marjorie Clark, Louise Storla, and
Joe Ralston, have some new hits to
offer. George Weber will accom
pany them on the piano. One of the
latest companies of entertainers to
be formed on the campus is the Phi
Belt dancing trio, having Art Lai"
sen, Web Haves, and Earl Miller as
charter members. They will be
there. The third trio for tonight is
made up of tluee young men from
the Delta Tau Delta house, Cliff
Bird, Morris Kinney, and Bob Me

That’s not all either. Clare Hart

classy piano duet to offer, and Bill
Hammond and Milton George have
a little advertising skit to present.
Charles Reed, who has been hand
ling the novelty department of the
affair, promises the cleverest in
sample advertising, everything from
aqua velva to bran flakes.

vertising of any description and
the walls of the Campa Shoppe will
be papered with breezy posters and
snappy signs.

TTow can wo make athletics pay?
How can debating tic made a more
popular high school activity?
What means should In' taken to
gain students’ confidence in a fac
ulty advisor?
What <Io people like to read in a
newspaper ?
These ami other questions formed
the topics for addresses given in
the various divisions of the high
school conference yesterday, the
opening day of the gathering of stu
dent body presidents, high school edi
tors and managers, presidents of
girls’ leagues, principals and faculty
advisors.

cussions and addresses.
Charles F. Dienst, superintendent
of schools at Boise, Idaho, was the
principal speaker at the assembly.
“If there is one thing in student
life that helps young people it is
activity,” he said. “Youth doesn’t
know and age can’t know. The
trouble is that they haven’t been
able in get together with the en
thusiasm of youth and experience
of age.”
‘ Don’t lot anyone decide the
questions for you,” he advised, “but
Kot all the help that opportunity
avails you.”
Life’s three biggest jobs lie .out
lined as (1) choosing ideals, (2)
choosing a vocation, (.1) choosing a
mate, and closed his address by sav
ing that four out of five who made
good in school also made good in
later life.

To Maintain Interest
Of School in Projects
Lucille Gallic1, from Washington
high school of Portland, was elected
president of the state association of
girl’s leagues at yesterday after
noon’s session. She will succeed
Anne Steele, of Eugene, who has
served As president for the past
yea r.
The secretary for tho coming year

Medford, and Geraldine Jachary, of
The Dalles, were also nominated for
the office of secretary.
The meeting was given over to
lectures by the delegates and round
table discussion of the problems
confronting Girls’ leagues.
“The main problem;” reported
Helen Gofer, of Klamath Palls, “is
in stimulating and maintaining in
terest in the clubs. We do this by
keeping our organization continually
before tho students.”
The concensus in tho discussion
was that the big sister movement is
the best and surest way of activat
ing interest in the leagues. Other
methods used are general meetings,
bold at a time possible -for*every
girl to attend; teas for mothers,
faculty teas, and teas for all mem
bers of the student bodies; student
body dances, co-ed costume dances
for girls alone, and programs, stunt
shows, follies, May festival and style
shows.

girl who is financially embarrassed
to college. Another school aids one
of the girls through the local high

Changing Status of Family Noticed
In College Croup Avers Dr. Mueller
hy MARY KLEMM
The “breaking down” of the fam
ily, religion, or any other institu
tion, shows first in the most mobile
classes of society, averred i)r. John
If. Mueller, assistant professor of
sociology, in an interview recently.
That is why the college group, being
the most mobile, is the first to be
“emancipated” from old ideas. That
is why changes occur more rapidly
among college and university peo
ple,'the “breaking down” being de
cried by those of more conservative
groups. Rather than “breaking
down,” I)r. Mueller prefers to call
it “change.”
“When an institution loses its
function, it disappears,” he said,
“and if the family has a utility, it
will "remain, regardless of all tho
talk about it. Formerly, the family
used to carry all our institutions
and elements of culture. Now we
have specialization. Wo don't do
pond upon tho maternal instinct to
take care of babies any more. We
are more scientific: wo have settle
ment houses and in Europe especial
ly, clinics where children are reared
by professionals. The family used
to bo a political unit. In Roman
times, for instance, tho father used
to have absolute control over his
children, the power of life or death.
Now, when a child thinks he has
been punished too severely, he goes
to the juvenile court for redress.
“Formerly, the family did all tho
educating of children. Now wo
have even public kindergartens.
Family worship around the hearth
in Roman times has been substituted
in our modern epoch by worship in
a church. If you want recreation
these days, you don’t go to the
