Oregon Visit Impresses Men From Midwest W. Paulison, Publicist, Lauds U t'bfoot Team, Students, and Campus By JOE PIGNEY Every four years, regular elec tions, Northwestern university sends a swimming team to the Pacific coast. The mill-westerners were in the west in 19125, and they will be here again in 1935. Oregon was less than nothing in swimming as far as Northwestern was concerned iu 1925, but the visiting squad was so impressed by the strength of (he Oregon swimmers Tuesday, particu larly the freshmen, that Eugene will be one of the most important stops on the 1933 (rip. Walter Paulison, director of Northwestern’s news bureau, has de cided tu do something for Oregon. He was so startled by the develop ment of the heretofore undeveloped colleges of the west that lie is eager1 to carry the good word back to the cast. The Webfoot students, said Pauli son, were the most receptive the Northwestern visitors ever encoun tored on their western invasions. Enthusiasm is unlimited here, he said, and it is bestowed on the home team and the visitors alike with I only a shade of partiality. Northwestern is not the most ag gressive college iu the middle west : iu regard to the art of publicising, the ’ university through sports. But! once it begins a thing, it, is never I completed until it is as near perfec- ! tion as possible. It is seven years ago since the j first sport publicitv bureau organ-1 izod in (lie Big Ten. This progres- j sive step, which facilitates the con nection between colleges and the newspapers of the country, was started at tin* University of Illinois, j Two years ago Northwestern, the | last member of the Big "Ton confer ence to do so, began the commer cialized production of sport news. Paulison was appointed director, and has developed his department into one ot' the most efficient in tho whole country. * * * When Northwestern sent its swim ming team to the Pacific coast four j years ago, it, was nearly a secret. » Scarcely anyone knew about, it. This I year, however, tile team lias received] national publicity on its tour. The1 enormous value of publicity tells the tale. The advance news ser vice and tho circulation of jdetures did flic work, and" almost every large paper carried some sort of news on the Northwestern trip to Oregon, California and way points, j Paulison accompanied the team mi its stop off at Eugene, and tiie story of the new world’s record in the 300-yard medley relay and the results of the dual meet with the Webfoots was telegraphed to all parts of the United States. Chi cago, where the interests of North western university are centered, was the first large city outside the Pacific northwest !to receive the news of the meet. From Chicago the names of Oregon and North western were spread over the coun try The national publicity gained by Oregon can hardly be estimated, bill here is what it means to North western. Although the Northwestern team is guaranteed a generous sum by every school it swims against, the ultimate loss on the trip will be over one thousand dollars. The es timated value of the trip, in terms of publicity, amounts to something like sixty thousand dollars. The actual thousand lost is merely a drop in the bucket by comparison. Tom "Robinson, Northwestern coach, said that Oregon’s frosh team, when it. grows up, will be the strongest in the United States. But Paulison did not confine his compliments to the swimming team alone.. When he saw McArthuJr court, he immediately was all in favor of moving it to Evanston. And when the unit athletic pro gram proposed for Oregon was pre sented, Paulison became profuse.

Spencer Raynor, Phi Psi, gained a three round decision over Wallace Faust, Alpha IJpsilon, in the open ing of the intramural boxing tour nament, yesterday afternoon at 4 o’clock in the men’s gymnasium. It was a fast battle with Raynor hitting the A. IT. man with every thing but the waterbucket. Faust, throughout the fight, put up a stub born resistance, but lack of condi tion finally told, and he weakened perceptibly in the filial act. Ray nor, incidentally, is also a grapplor of note, who has been throwing the boys in the wrestling event ipiitu regularly. A knockdown in the third round secured the judges’ nod for Phillip Carrol, Bachelordon, over Bill Brat tain. Alpha Upsilon. They both fought in the lightweight division, Carrol as 125 and Bruttain, 125 pounds, putting up the hottest bout in the afternoon. y Brattain was the more aggressive of the, two, but his head rushes brought about the loss of his bal ance and gave Carrol the opportu nity'to put over a right hook which resulted in the knockdown and defeat, ■Timmy .Tower, 139 pound well known fighter, and John Ilaldcr ni.on, 150 pounds, fought hard from start to finish and put up a won derful showing.

The organization was rebuffed, and the matter was thor oughly explained as spontaneous to the British representatives. Plaything, material for Polk’s campaign slogan, “54-10 or fight,” ^ the western empire was forgotten ! in the excitement of the Mexican wa rs. It was not until 1819 that Gover nor Joseph Bane proclaimed a terri torial form of government for the Pacific northwest. Abraham Lin coln had declined the position. Oregon’s fight had been won for her. After remaining in the terri torial state for ten years, almost tempted to enter the proposed “Pa cific Republic,” Oregon became a state.

Basketball in the Big Ten is fast : becoming one of the chief sports of j the year. Northwestern’s athletic pavilion holds 5,800 persons, and at every game this season there has been a capacity attendance'. If space could have been found, it was estimated that at least 25,000 would have seen the Notre Dame-North western series. Tentative arrangements are un derway to send an Oregon swim ming team to the east in IP.'il). Northwestern is eager to have the Webfoots appear at Evanston. Rob inson, the coach, suggested that the meet be made a bi-annual event with Oregon at Evanston one year and Northwestern at Eugene two years later. Opening Tilt Held by Intramural Fighters Phi Psi Wins Award From Alpha. Upsilon Members I GOOD BOOKS AND BAD By Mike Griffin I “Tlic President's Daughter,” Nan Britton. (Elizabeth Ann Guild cor poration). This mueh-heralded book reminded me of a slightly superan nuated orange—or maybe I should su.v lemon—there is juice in the thing, but it’s certainly hard to squeeze it out. In this case the juice takes tjie form of the detailed entirety of the supposedly authentic scandal in the life of our late presi dent, Warren G. Harding. One finds, in reading the book, that presidents are, after all, human beings, perfectly capable of such things as (10-page love letters, un living declarations of undying love, and incidentally, illegitimate eight pound girl children. All. ladies and gentlemen, with a presidency of the United States of America and an unsuspecting wife held firmly in the other hand! According to the author (who was the lady in the case), the pur pose of her work is to make the world safe for children born out of the necessary formalities, which is an admirable and totally commend able undertaking, but it smacks a little too much of alibi. Alisa Brit ton very unwisely burned her entire stock of the aforesaid (10-page love letters, her signed photographs; in short, every black and white proof she possessed. Now, Miss Britton and her daughter must eat. ‘‘The President’s Daughter” is selling for .J>5 the copy and renting for Id cents a day, and that may not mean any thing, and it may. The story begins when the author was a young girl of l! years with a terrible infatuation for Mr. Hard ing, who al that time held no par ticular office at all except the place, in her heart which has been men tioned. It then wends its way chronologically along, going into • every little detail of her trip to Washington. D. C'., where Mr. Hard ing held a government position, her subsequent! meeting with him, his obtaining a job for her, their court ship, the birth of their daughter, his election to the presidency, and his death. Where it goes from there 1 really couldn’t say, as I didn’t read any farther. “Circus Parade,” dim Tally. Al- j belt, and Charles Boni. Tully has painted his readers a whole gallery full of realistic little portraits of circus life, has placed them in or der so that they form a semi-auto biography, has had some delightful wood-cuts made, and his publishers have assembled the lot under a red and green cover. It’s called “Circus Parade,” the whole concoction is, and is a thoroughly enjoyable piece of modern literature. One gets a vivid picture of his characters, which appear in the same roles in different sketches throughout the book. There is Goosey, the elephant trainer; the sentimental German fat lady; the fearless and admirable lion trainer,, who goes to his death with a smile j on his lips and booze on his breath; the lovable negro stakedriver who becomes the star clown over night, j and his alley cat, Booker T. Wash- j ington; the irascible old owner of the circus and his even more iras cible old lady; Rosebud, the buss drummer, who wept over his drum when it was broken they’re all there, and you can sec them. “Circus Parade” lias comedy, ami it has stark, staring tragedy, and it lias some certain bits of very frank realism.
