By JOE PIGNEY Oregon's basketball team, recov ering from Hie disappointments of the northern road trip, is earnestly preparing for a comeback. The first game of the Oregon State series, a series on which many fans believe rests the entire success of the season, will be played at Cor vallis next Saturday. For the first time in several sea sons the Beaver team ranks higher than the Webfoots. Two weeks ago Oregon was the favorite, but four defeats in a row have reduced the chances of victory. The Webfoots will have the advantage of a full week of preparation, and should be in better condition to meet the Beavers than they were before the games in the north. Heed More Defensive The failure to maintain a con sistent defense was more responsible for Oregon’s defeats than the lack of an offensive combination. In 12 games played this year the Web foots scored approximately 39 points in each contest. The opposing teams have averaged 27 points. In the past, 30 points usually have been sufficient to bring vic tory to the Webfoots. The 1928 team averaged 31 points to a game as compared with only 2o for the opposition. This year Oregon still has averaged the 30 points, but the strong offensive was maintained at the expense of a weak defense, the offensive has not been powerful enough to offset the defense and the four conference opponents have averaged 34 points. Beavers Some Better Score averages place Oregon and Oregon State nearly on equal terms, but in basketball that counts for very little. In all the games played this season the Beavers came out ahead on an average of 34 to 2b. The comparison with Oregon’s 39 to 27 is not groat. The Webfoots displayed consider ably more offensive effectiveness than did the Beavers, but the Beav ers surpassed in the ability to hold the other teams to lower scores. Oregon State ended the road trip with an average of 23 to 28 against (Continued on Page Two) Library Records Debate Speeches W ill Aid Forensic Study, J. Horne r Believes “Beginning this year, copies of fill the best of the university’s orations and debates will be put. in tbo library under special cataloguing as a permanent record of (lie school’s debate and oratory con tests,” said ,T. K. Horner, debate coach, explaining an innovation he is introducing into forensics. Because text, bonks in argumenta tion and debate lack examples of argumentative speeches, Mr. Horner Experts to use 1he material to fill Hie lack in connection with debate. Moreover, “debate questions from year to year have a habit of repeat ing themselves,” he says, and the filed speeches could very profitably be studied again. Before being granted their two hours credit for participating in debate and oratory contests, speak ers will be required to prepare copies of their talks for filing in the library. Amateur Cinema League Proffers Aid for Movies National Group to Help Oregon Film Directors In Technical M alters Cooperation of the Amateur Cin ema league, a national organization for amateur movie makers, has been offered to University of Oregon students now engaged in making a feature length moving picture pro duction.

The library had just been moved from Friendly hall to its present building, which was then without the stack-rooms, and which also housed departments of econom ics, political science, history, rheto ric, and correspondence, according to M. H. Douglass, who has just filed his twentieth annual library report. Two regular members of the staff, Mr. Douglass and Miss Camilla Leach, together with two student helpers, the report shows, issued the 1,600 volumes from a single desk in response to requests of a registra tion totaling 644 in 1908. Seventy three staff members and students charged 19.1,394 books 518,620 times from nine different, desks.to .1,128 students last year. Periodicals have increased in the 20 year period from 159 to 2,173. Douglass Takes Charge The library building had been in use less than a year when Douglass became librarian. It was open only 47% hours a week, while now it is open 94D> hours a week. It is in the same building which was con structed for a university of 500 that Mr. Douglass continues his work. So great has been the expansion, however, during his administration that this building and an additional stack wing have been filled to over flowing with books and periodicals, and it is now necessary for students to go from building to building on the campus to various smaller li braries in order to do their reading. During the past year there has been a slight increase in all depart ments of the library except history and English reserves, which suffered a 21 per cent decrease. This is doubtless due, declares Mr. Douglass, to the number of reserve books now on the open shelves. Still One Janitor “In one particular there has been no expansion so far as the main li brary is concerned,” commented Douglass. “We then had one full time janitor and we still have just one.” Discussing future objectives, Douglass touched on the great need ot a new library building, suggested introduction of library courses, told of needs for strengthening the staff, and recommended various phases of extension work. Regarded as the most striking figure in the report, it is shown that since 191o use of the library has increased (172 per cent, while enroll ment has gained 282 per cent. In an appended statistical survey of 38 representative college and university libraries, Oregon ranks 28 in size, 20 in number of volumes added during the previous year, 28 in amount expended for books, 22 in size of staff, and 22 in amount of salary payroll. Journalism Honorary Pledges to Perform Arrayed in full-dress suits, with top-hats and canes, the neophytes of Sigma Delta f’lii, international journalism fraternity, will hold sway on the steps of the old library to morrow at 11 o’clock. The five who will perform, Clarence Craw, Cecil Snyder. Joe Brown, Leonard Delano, and Scott Milligan, have promised a stunt never before tried by a set of pledges, and one that promises to be most interesting and enter taining.

Call Calls for Aid Don Call, chairman of the Frosh dice, spoke to the class, urging them to give every possible spare minute for the next few days to helping decorate the Igloo. “The job must be finished Friday night if possible because we will have to have a day to adjust the lighting,” he said. “There will be work not only for the men but for the girls as well,” he went on, “as there are four sew ing machines, each requiring three persons to operate, which will need to be in more or less steady opera tion from now on. The class hopes to sell some of the decoration ma terial to the juniors and seniors,” Call said, urging the class to be careful in handling the goods in construction, and pointing out to them the necessity of keeping ex penses on the affair as low as possible.

Marshall Brownell brought up the question of whether the glee is con sidered an informal or formal dance. Following a brief discussion when several freshmen pointed out that regardless of previous announce ments, “tuxes” prevailed for the men, Minmaugh declared that as long as it had always been called an informal dance, it would stand that way. “The women will of course wear formals but we will en courage men to come in informal attire.” When the class president asked for suggestions for some sort of get acquainted program, Bernice Wood ward advanced the semi-monthly no date afternoon dance plan. Minmaugh urged the class to sup port its basketball team and to turn out in larger numbers than have been seen so far this season.

CRAW How would you act if you were suddenly and unreservedly changed into a member of the opposite sex? Oregon students, it seems, have dif ferent ideas as to what they would do if granted the privilege. From the staid young man to the “sheik” was the gamut which the wishes for the female sex ran, while the males mostly agreed on the semi-old fash ioned type of girl. Considering the question, “How would you behave if you were a boy?” the first girl declared: “If I were a boy, and a junior, the first thing I would do would be to go down and buy myself a pair of cords. When I got to be a senior I would grow a cute little mustache. I’d give the girls the rush of their lives, send one girl flowers and an other candy—for money, I M work of course. I would not kiss them and leave them, hut would kiss them and stay. I would not plant my fraternity pin carelessly, hut. would have several in reserve to plant ad vantageously. All my life I’ve wanted to he a boy so 1 could stand in Commerce and smoke like the rest of the men do. The advantage that I would enjoy most would he the right to stay out after 12:15.” A freshman stated: “I’d try to ho without fear and without re proach, although it is impossible to he that way ia this kind of a world. Being a woman I never tell the truth, it doesn’t pay, hut if I were a man I would try. I believe men have lost their chivalry, true wom en aren’t the same as in the old days, hut they are more candid.” From still another woman, a sophomore this time, came the reply: (Continued on Page Two)
