Good Time Promised
At Ball, Says Sullivan
Floor Committee Prepared
For Annual Senior Fete
A dance floor worthy of a king—
that is what “Bus” Sullivan, chair
man of the floor committee of tho
Senior Ball, promises to make out
of the gymnasium floor in the Wom
an's building. And it’s no rash
promise, either, “Bus” declares.
1’laiiing, scraping, scrubbing, wax
ing, varnishing, polishing, nothing
will be omitted in making a glassy
floor for the seniors to step on for
their last dunce as a class, Febru
ary 23.
The tickets, according to FranFis
■McKenna, arc selling fast, and a
day’s delay may mean that the bids
will all be gone and many will be
disappointed. They arc on sale at
all the men’s houses and at the
Co-op.
“Menhirs will bo given first pref
erence,” McKenna said, “and jun
iors and sophomores next, respec
tively. No freshman men will be
permitted to come under any cir
cumstances.”
The decorations commitlee, under
the guidance of Carl lleilborn, is
progressing rapidly with extensive
plans for a scene which will trans
pose the women's gym into a hall
of beauly and grandeur, they claim.

* Shelves of Old Library Hold Bound
Copies of Newspaper Century Old
By MIKE GRIFFIN
> ll’s ;t musty sort of place, smell
' iug of moldy brown paper and
curletl-up leather bindings and dust.
To get there you have to go past
1 the desk and down the aisle to that
i corner of the old library wltorq the
bound periodicals are; then yon go
’ clear down to the last row of I
shelves. There isn't much room in
that last aisle -everything is back-I
ed up against it, and it's only wide
enough to turn around in.
There are all sorts of out-of-date
books piled ii]> on the shelves, prin
cipally bibliographies; bibliograph- j
• ies of “Best Fiction” of long ago: 1
lists of books dealing with aero
nautics of France, the hookworm
(disease, woman suffrage, and Amer
[ ican Ordovician and Silurian Fos
sils. A book of famous sportsmen
i of 1800, printed in seven different
languages; a German book on fbc
Greek and Batin classics, printed
I ill 1847.
And clear up on the top shelf is j
a row of bound copies of Nile’s
Weekly, dating from 18fl to 1847. |
The older copies, printed something i
like lit) years ago, are aged into
deep brown and spotted with mold,
j The type is a little wavering and
indistinct, italics are used freely,
and the spelling is peculiar. Accord
ing to the title page of the volume.
Nile's Weekly is published in Bal
timore by the Editor, “at the
Franklin Press, South Street, Next
Boor to Ihe Merchant’s Coffee
House.” The editor goes on to say
that his publication is “packed with
unparalled care . . . delivery is ab
I snlutely. guaranteed, except in some ' i
parts of the Mississippi Territory |
and Louisiana.” The price was
five dollars a year.
One of the articles contains a jl
reference to a letter from one of !
the Ohio Volunteers, who were j
fighting Indians in their state.]
“The army of invasion complains,
bitterly at the exorbitant, exactions!1
of the settlers. One poor fellow,
troubled in spirit, says vlt's pretty
tough, I tell you—wages only seven
dollars a month, whiskey from one
to two dollars a gallon, and other
necessaries of life in the same pro
portion
The news stories described bat
tles with the Indians in the most
lurid style, interspersed with many i
‘'braves” and “nobles.” One ex
cerpt reads: "The brave rapt. Gor
don, eol. Carrol, and col. Iliggens !
pursued the enemy for more than
two miles . . . they fled in conster
nation, leaving L’b dead. This las;
defeal was decisive, and we shall
no more be disturbed bv their
veils.”
The papers published about LS12
are full of news of the war. Each
week a section was printed, called I
"American Prizes,” There would
follow a list of ships taken by (lie
Americans during that week. Tlicv
ire terse and to the point. “Pink
■stern boat, said to belong to ller
I'ing’s gut (see glossary) with $20,- ‘
100 worth of English goods, cap
aim! off George’s river, by a row
mat privateer.” Then follows the
editor’s two cents’ worth, in Pai
rs: "We fear this is smuggling.”
Sandwiched in between two other
irticles is the single line: “.Nothing i
mportant, in Congress Thursday.”
The story of a banquet in honor
O' Commander Perry, after his vie-i
ory on Lake Erie, lists the toasts
trunk, with the name of the pro-!
loser. These are two examples.
‘To Captain Jesse Elliot.second in ■
■ommaml on Lake Erie—a brave
.011 of Maryland, and an honor to
ds country.” (Three cheers). Then
his one: "To the fair sex next to
hi' approbation of God and conn
rv, their smiles.are the Hero’s rc
vard.” (Niue cheers).
Altogether, there were -14 toasts
naively downed at that banquet,;

Basketball Men

For W. S. C.
Webfools Attempt Climb
Above Conference .500
Murk by Felling Cougar
Coach Billy Reinhart hail his var
sity basketball team drill in the
fundamentals of the game last night
in preparation for the contest sched
uled with the Washington State
Cougars, Saturday night. This
game will mark the third home ap
pearance of the Webfoot s since
their disastrous road trip and the
Oregon team is determined to keep
its winning streak unmarred. If the
locals can take the Cougars into
camp they will reach the 500 mark
with four games won and four lost.
The two sophomore finds, liber
lmrt and Horner, will start the
Washington State game, according
to Coach Reinhart. These two play
ers have injected a lot of pep and
speed into the Oregon lineup and,
dispite the dopesters who predicted
that they would only last a couple
of games, they have played consis
tent ball. Eborhart was tbc lead
ing cog in the Webfoots victory
over Oregon State last Saturday.
Ilorner plays a flashy defensive
game and is always in the thick of
the fray.
The veteran guard, Joe Bally, is
fast rounding into playing shape
and may start at one of tint defen
sive positions against tlie Cougars.
He has been hampered by illness
and injuries and liis return to the
game will speed up the Oregon
1 earn.
Gordon Ridings and Scott .Milli
gan will probably complete the team.
Boil -M r( 'ormiidv has been playing
good ball when on iho floor and
will be ready to replace Hidings
in any emergency.
Coach Reinhart is not vet satis
fied with the play of the Web
foots. Ilis but tip cry is more speed
ond closer chocking. Tie predicts
that the locals have more than an
even break in their remaining
names, unless they no into ,-> slump.
Washington cinched the cham
pionship of (he northern dicishm
of the coast conference by its wins
over ‘Washington State, Idaho, and
Montana. The Webfoots have yet
to meet three conference opponents
and with wins in these games,
should finish well Up in the stand
