Webfoots Hope
For Vie lory
Tomorrow Niglit

Will Re No Change
Made in Starting ,Five
By JOE PXGNEY
Thorp will be no cli nil go in tho
starting lino up of tho Oregon foam
wlooi it plays Oregon Stale at. Mc
Artlmr court tomorrow night. Thus,
tho edict of Bill Reinhart, Well foul,
roach, and his confidence that a
winning eomhinnt.inn has lieon dis
covered. Up until tho Beaver game
last Saturday, the playing of Oregon
was typical of a good team not yet
ill its stride. Now the Welifoofs are
playing Letter Lusketliall than they,
have all season.
Tho keener competition for first
string positions and the injection of
sophomores into the lineup has won
for the Welifoots. Jean Kberlinrt
L at center and Cliff Horner at. guard
have given the Oregon team a strong
combination of aggressiveness and
defense. The Webfoots have more
than an even break to win from
Oregon State.
There have boon changes on the
Beaver team since it played in Mc
Arthur court a year ago. The team
is not as highly touted now as it
was then, but it is none the less
dangerous. Because tomorrow night’s
game is a traditional one, both the
Beavers and the Webfoots will be
at top form.
Hast year Hie Webfoots were up
against a team playing under the
famous “percentage” system of Bob
Hager’s. The Aggies were a cham
pionship prospect then, but Hager’s
system brought more defeats than
it did victories. Averv “Slats” Hill
is roach at Oregon State now.
0ill has had previous experience
with the Oregon team. Several years
ago he was one of the Beaver stars,
and always was particularly effec
tive against Oregon. It certainly is
Jk no favor to the Webfoots to have
(till coaching at Corvallis.
(■ill lias taken the best of Hager’s
“percentage basketball” and woven
it with a system of his own. The
Beavers were not even consldere.it
a possibility for the title, but still
'they won two games on the road
trip while Oregon lost four. Gill
has incorporated a number of new
features into the Beaver attack
which makes it a more difficult
system to provide a defense against.
From the standpoint, of the spec
tator, this year’s Beaver team is 100
per cent improvement, over last
year’s. There is no more obvious
stalling after the lead is gained.
The fast breaking offense intro
duced by Gill speeds up the game
and allows for a great deal more
action.
Tf national records count for any
thing, Oregon was justified in giv
ing swimming a major ranking. In
the last two weeks the Webfoot
swimmers, both freshman and var
sity, have shattered, unofficially,
most of the worthwhile records on
b the Pacific coast. Against North
western university Tuesday they
will have an opportunity to break
a world’s record.
The national amateur athletic
union lias sanctioned a trial swim
for a world’s championship in the
iiOO-yard medley relay. The Oregon
swimmers, John Anderson, Tommy
Blniikenburg and Frank Walton, al
ready have broken the record in a
trial swim. The official record ful
fills event is now held by the United
States Naval academy swimmers.
Rule, Allan and Wyekoff set the
mark at .‘1:09.0 in the Annapolis pool
on February 20, 1926. The Webfoots
swam the coarse in 11:09 flat.

University Man Writes on
Unfair Trading Class
In the January issue of tlie Har

pears an article written l>v Pro
fessor John M. Rae, of the school of
business administration at the Uni
versity of Oregon.
“Dress of Goods and Unfair Trad

Unfair trading and competition as
referring to those practices in
dulged in bv business men and
business organizations in their
competition for the trade of the
third person, is discussed by Pro
fessor Rae.
Examples of several different
cases of unfair trading such as one
company imitating the “dress of
goods” of a rrval in order to pass
off its goods as those of the rival,
are fully discussed, and the deci

New Finance Plan
I s Outlined for
Junior Week-end
All Requisitions to Center
In Norblatl Instead of
Individual Managers
A now system of financing of
the Junior Week End events will
bo instituted this year, according to
Waller Norblad, assistant general
chairman, wlio is in chargo of all
finances.
All finances of tlie affair will
be centered in Norblad tliis year.
No re.qnsit.iojj made by any of the
members of the Junior Week End
directorate will bo valid unless it
receives his endorsement. Jt is be
lieved, Norblad said, that this will
work for economy and unity of ef
fort.
“T’l previous years,” Norblad
sail, “the chairman of the junior
prom, canoe fete, Junior Vodvil,
campus luncheon, and campus day
have each appointed a business man
ager, and each business manager
has been given a. requisition book.
Each manager has made requisi
tions as he needed materials, and
as a result there has been a great
deal of duplication and disorgani
zation.
New System Planned
“This year each chairman will
appoint a business manager as be
fore to handle liis financial ar
rangements, but this year no requi
sition books will be issued. Every
manager will submit his requisition
to mo, and T will arrange for the
purchase. This way we hope that
Junior Week End will be more of
a financial success this year Ilian
it was last year.”
The members of the Junior Week
End directorate are now busy pre
paring tlie budget, which will be
submitted to the executive council
of the A. S. T.T. O. by Norblad at the
meeting next Wednesday. Each
member is preparing his budget par
tially on estimation of llie expenses
of last year’s Week End, and par
tially on llie basis of estimates for
changes in (lie program for tills
vear.
Musical Comedy Favored
The scenarios for the Junior Vod
vil, tlie first and probably most
important event of Junior Week
End, must be handed in to Paul
Hunt, chairman for llie affair, on
or before February 15. The direc
torate lias decided to favor a musi
cal comedy for Junior Vrfdvil this
year, but a vaudeville or revue will
not be excluded if tlie idea is good.
Tlie author of tlio scenario for .Tun
vaudeville will aid’in tlie direction
this year. Tt is planned to have

scripts to appear before the Junior

Frosh-Rook
Series Game
Today at Igloo
Win for Oregon Yearlings
Assures Tie or Title for
Series; Finals Saturday
Fletcher, Mahan Sick;
May Not Be in Came
Starling Lineup Includes
Stevens, Keenan, Ragen
Whether nr not the Oregon frosli
■nil] have the chance of winning the
four game series from the Aggies
will he decided at McArthur court
this afternoon at 4 o’clock when the
two teams meet for the third time.
The first two games were played
last week at. Corvallis. The rooks
took the first by a seven point
margin, but, the frosli panic back
to win the next by 44 points.
If the young Webfoots keep op
their winning streak today, they
will have broken even for the series
at least, and they will have a
chance of carrying off the honors
bv winning the fourth game. This
last game with the Aggies will be
played Saturday night at
o’clock as a preliminary lo the Ore
gon-Oregon Aggie vhrsity contest.
Frosli in Slump
Little has been heard from the
Beaver campus, lint since the frosli
won last Saturday they have gone
into a slump and may be easy prey
for the invading yearlings. “Must,
because they won a game, they
.think they’re good and can quit
working,” Spike Leslie, frosli coach,
says.
Adding to Spike’s worries of the
playing of the men, came the news
yesterday that Steve Fletcher, cen
ter and guard, and Claude M"ahan,
guard, were under doctor’s care for
severe colds. Neither man was able
to report, for practice last night,
but, iVr. Miller, of the health ser
vice, stated the belief that they
would be able to take the floor
Friday.
If the men don’t sufficiently re
cover, it will cause some change in
the starting lineup, as Fletcher was
slated for a guard berth, and Ma
han had showed up so well in scrim
mage against the first five on Wed
nesday that Spike was going to
work him ill with the regulars.
If Steve Fletcher is unable to
t,ake part in the game, one of three
men—Vincent Dolp, F.still Phipps,
nr Paul Bale—will be among the
starting five, Spike said last night.
Stevens to Play
Kermit Stevens will be at one
guard, Don Ragen will probably
be at center, and Bill Keenan and
Henry Levoff will be the two for
wards. If Fletclier is in good enough
condition lie will take the other
guard assignment.
If Fletcher stays on the bench,
‘one of three changes will be made.
Phipps will play center with Ragen
1 at guard, Bale will play forward
with Levoff at guard, or Dolp will
take the vacant guard position.

Eat, Drink, and You’ll Never Be Merry
Nor Long-lived, Says Dean Landsbury
Would you, when you fool old age
propping upon you, find iho magical
fountain of youth? Would you,
when you fool father time eluteliing
von with liia clammy grasp, escape
the horrors of the malicious lum
bago, the insidious rheumatism, f.nu
the pernicious gout? Would you
retain your sylph-like, willowy
gracefulness, your adolescent vim1
and vitality, your youthful starry |
eyed beauty ? If so, gentle reader, j
heed well tho following formula for
perennial youth, given by a promi-;
nent and analytical member of the
faculty.
The writer, surprising Dean J. J.
j Landsburv in his private sanctum
j the other day, humbly beseeehed of
him a few morsels of anything per
: taining to news. After thinking a
moment the dean replied, “Xo news,
young man, except, perhaps, that I
had a birthday not so long ago.”
At this juncture the writer made
so bold as to inquire of him the
exact number of years resting upon
his brow. “Fifty-one,” replied the
dean, arising and cutting a caper.
“And just as good as ever.”
The scribe, much surprised at
such a display of,energy, queried of
him how it was that he retained so
much of his youthful vigor.
“4'oung man,” quoth the dean,
“my rules are simple and I shall
make them terse, concise, and to
the point. Keep out of the clutches
of the demon rum, sleep occasion
ally, and never, oh never, young
man,” said the dean, raising his
hands to the heavens in horror, “eat
mince pie at 3:00 o’clock in the
morning.”
With this the dean walked out,
leaving the writer alone to rumi
nate over these gems of wisdom.

Shine Day Sales
Hoped to Reaeh
2000, Says Laird
Proceeds Wid Go Toward
Purchase of Radio for
University Infirmary
Junior shine day, the proceeds of
which will go toward purchase of a
radio for the university infirmary,
will be held on the campus today
and an effort will be made to sell
",000 shine tickets at a dime apiece,
according to (lone Laird, general
chairman of the event. The selling
of tickets began at Ihe dinner hour
last night when women in gypsy
costume spoke before men’s houses
and men spoke before women’s Jiv
ing organizations.
Tn order to boost sales, two prizes
have been offered the women who
collect the most dimes in the course
ot Ihe day. The first will consist
of two theater passes donated bv
the llcilig theater and a screen test
donated by Jim Raley, Carvel Nel
son and Rea Milligan, producers of
Oregon’s campus movie.
Those who spend a dime will also
have a chance at a prize—a. com
bination leather-enclosed shoe-shin
ing outfit and whisk broom offered
by McMorran and Washburne. The
award will be made to the individual
holding the lucky number on his
shine ticket stub, drawing of the
number to take plaee at r> o’clock.
Men who wear boots will be re
quired,to purchase two tickets, but
all other shoes will be shined for
one. The stands, of which there
will be four, will be in charge of
Bill Barry. Ticket sale will be in
charge of Eleanor Flannagan.
Eighty-five Training
For Intramural Track
Indoor Meets Delayed for
Laek of Speeial Shoes
Eighty-five men are in training
for t ho intramural indoor track
moots planned for this form, and
some of thoso mon, according to
Coach Hayward, look promising.
“—if they’ll only stay out and
work,” ho said.
Intramural track moots arc con
sidered very important by Hayward.
Instead of scheduling a dual moot
with W. S. C. on the one open date
this spring, Bill decided that it
would bo better to use the time for
an outdoor intramural meet.
The reason for this is that al
though the varsity prospects look
better now than they have for the
past several years, the new material
on hand is of a very indeterminate
quality. Ninety per cent of the
freshmen signed up for track have
had no experience and it is going

for the future.
Lack of equipment, is holding up

Young People of South America
Watched, Says Edward Tomlinson
By ELISE SCHROEDER
Seriousness and much formality
distinguish the South American col
lege students from their North
American brothers, Edward Tomlin
son, lecturer and writer, told the
reporter yesterday while lounging
in a large arm chair and enjoying
Eugene’s sunshine.
“The young men there never take
the girls home alone,” Mr. Tomlin
son said. “Mother is always along.
She is even there when they do their
courting.”
Public dances are out of the (pies
tion for the young people of better
class in the Routli American coun
tries, Mr. Tomlinson stated, and
“the ungodly rotten movies” that
are sent there by the American pro
ducers have so disgusted the young
persons that they will no longer go
to them. Only the worst pictures
that are made in the United States
are sent there, Mr. Tomlinson ex
plained, and the majority of these
plots are about European countries
and have their facts all tangled up.
“Much of the young people’s rec
reation is obtained through clubs,”
Mr. Tomlinson continued. ‘‘Each
group has its own club and goes
there for dinners and dances.”
Strict formality is observed at
the dances, he said. The man must
ask for the dance in the presence of
the mother, and he usually dances
with the same person the whole
evening. Various types of tangos
constitute the dances, and in none
of these is any “cutting in” al
lowed.
The •women in the South Amer
ican countries, at least the higher
type of woman, must be highly bril
liant and well educated if she is to

Of Revolutions’ Origin
Ten Countries Ask for
No More Outside Aid
‘‘We need a little mere coopera
t ion between South America and the
United States, and a little less ot’
the big st irk attitude,” Edward
Tomlinson, writer and lecturer, told
the students at I ho assembly in the
Woman's building Thursday morn
ing at 11.
The- South Americans object to
the big brother attitude of the
United States, Mr. Tomlinson ex
plained, for they feet that they are
able to protect, themselves now and
want no more help from the Amer
icans. Until statesmen and diplo
mats appreciate how the Monroe
doctrine helped them in their gov
ernment, but feel their country
should help itself in the future.
South America is the great coun
try of the future, Mr. Tomlinson
believes.

“Tin' resources of these countries
nrc beyond imagination,” Mr. Tom
linson stated. “ Tn northern Brar.il

foront kinds of treos. Tlioro aro
I’ivo thousand billion board foot of

sootions in North America lumber
has begun to give out, even in the
Northwest. Last year wo imported

“ Soventy-fivo per cent of the
world's coffee is produced in Brazil.
"The southwest, republic, of Bo
livia furnishes one-half the world’s
supply of tin. The United States
has no tin and yet is uses more than
any other country. Bolivia also
produces lead.
Chile Has Copper
“Chile is second in the production
of copper.
“Ninety-five per cent of the
world’s supply of nitrate comes
from Chile.
“The world’s greatest oil supply
is in Venezuela.
“Argentina is the greatest stock
raising country in the world the
second wool-producing country.
“Brazil is second to the United
States in the production of corn.
The Argentine republic, exports
more corn and wheat than any other
country in the world.”
Mr. Tomlinson told the students
of visiting the secretary of agricul
ture of South America and being
told I hat some day the ten South
American countries would be the
most important in the world in the
line of agriculture. When asked
the reason for this, the secretary
answered:
Land Cheap in South
“Land is high in the United
States. It is cheap in South Amer
ica. Taxes are high in the United
States. Taxes are low in South
America. Labor is high there and
low here. The wheat fields are far
from the sea in the United States
and close here.”
Mr. Tomlinson declared that lie
believed the United States "would
soon bo primarily a manufacturing
country, and that it- would find it
advisable to get its raw materials
from South America. This is the
reason he found for the visit ot
Hoover to that part of the world
and for the great increase of in

in the resources of that country.
