Webfoots May Find
“Something” in Cellar
In the basketball series here Iasi
week-end, the Washington Husk
ies and the Webfoots both made it
six straight. Six wins for the for
mer, which places them decisively
at the top of the standings, six de
feats for the latter, and for a
while an undisputed position in
the cellar. A lot of good things
! may come out of a cellar, so there
is still hope that some of these
days the Oregon squad will stag
ger up with a victory.
It must be remembered that four
of the six defeats that Oregon has
suffered, have been at the hands
of the Huskies, who also took four
straight last year from the home
team. Last season, despite the
Washington sweep, Oregon broke
even in the long run. It should
be borne in mind, too, that the
competition is far stronger this
year than ever before, and Oregon
did not inherit much material from
last year’s frosh team while all
the other squads in the north did.

Growls Haven’t
f Commenced Yet
In the favor of the lemon-green
hoopsters still remains the campus
spirit. Surprise has been mani
fested at the unusual start the
team has made, but the sarcastic
comment, which might be expect
ed, has not been heard. It seems
to be realized that the fellows on
the team have been playing their
best, have been working hard, and
have had tough odds to buck
against.
The crowds at the games have
not diminished, and have been
loyal boosters for the home team.
The disappointments that the fans
have felt have probably been
voiced upon the officials which
may explain the unsportsmanship,
if any.
* * #
Did you ever wonder how many
shots a team takes at the hoop,
to score the points it does in a
basketball game ? In the contest
Saturday night, the Webfoots took
52 shots at the hoop from the field
L and counted 10 of them, while
they made 6 out of 8 foul shots.
Their points made out of total tries
was 23 per cent.
The Huskies took 55 field shots,
making 15 of them, and 13 foul
throws, scoring 8. They made 31
per cent of their shots count.

BULLETIN
CORVALLIS, Jan. 26. — (Spe
cial)—The University of Washing
ton basketball team, continuing
the march toward the Northern
division championship, defeated
Oregon State’s rangy five here to
night, 31 -23. The victory was
Washington’s seventh consecutive
conference triumph and gives Hec
Edmundson's quintet a good
chance of taking the title again
this year.
Oregon State was conceded to
be a better team than Washington
in pre-game dope.
Reinhart’s persistent Oregon
quintet, determined to make a vic
tory out of almost conceded de
feat, went after the Huskies Sat
urday like they meant it and held
the formidable Washingtonians to
a 15-11 score at half time, only to
fall victims to a keep-away game
in the closing minutes and drop
their sixth straight, 38-26.
Another new combination, prov- i
ing as effective as any before, but
still not effective enough in the
pinches, was tried by the Oregon
coach, with Eberhart at forward
and Roberts at center. Roberts
held the invincible Swanson of the
Huskies to three points in the first
half, but could not keep up the
terrific pace in the last period,
and Swanson came through for 14
points.
Kerm Stevens Stars
Stevens led the Ducks with five
points, sinking a couple of long
shots from a safe distance from
the visitor’s defense. Calkins
again scored two short baskets as
in the first game and seems to
be getting his "eye” back again.
Outside of the Washington se
ries last night and tonight, Ore
gon State is interested in the com
ing Oregon games, the first of
which will be played Saturday at j
Corvallis. If the Staters had won
last night's game and then re- ,
peated tonight, they would have
been tied for first place with the
Huskies, but it appears that Wash
ington has just about sewed up
the bag with the title in it. Ore
gon State is still in second place
as W. S. C. dropped a game to
the Idaho Vandals, 25-30.

Freshmen Defeat
Salem High, 33-22
Yearlings Looking Ahead
For Rook Series
After breaking even in two
games over the week-end, taking
one from Salem high school, 33 to
22, and dropping one to DeNeffe’s
143 to 35, the Oregon freshmen
! basketball squad started prepara
tions yesterday for their two
game series with the Oregon State
Rooks, next Friday and Saturday
nights.
The improvement shown in the
yearling squad during their pre
vious games was continued in the
last two contests. In the DeNeffe
contest it was a case of too much
j experience on the part of their op
ponents. The local outfit ran up
10 points before the frosh could
get organized, and this early lead
proved to be the margin of victory.
In the Salem fray Callison’s
squad had little trouble in defeat
ing the previously unbeaten prep
quintet.
The records of the two teams,
the rooks and the frosh, show that
they are quite evenly matched. The
rooks have dropped games to two
high school quintets, Commerce
and Mollala.
Next Friday’s game will be
played at Eugene, the following
contest to be played at Corvallis
as a preliminary attraction before
the Oregon-Oregon State varsity
contest.
Drama Tourney
Slated for April
Ten High Schools To Give
One-Act Plays
The fifth annual high school
drama tournament sponsored by
the drama and extension divisions
of the University, will take place
April 2, 3, 4 on the Oregon cam
pus.
Ten high schools throughout
the state will present one-act
plays in competition for the Guild
Players’ cup annually awarded to :
the winner. The two individual
contestants displaying the finest j
characterization will receive cups i
donated by Dean Collins and the
Portland Telegram.
Contestants during their visit
on the campus will be entertained
by the various living organiza
tions. A luncheon and an after
noon performance of a one-act)
play presented by the drama di
vision, are two additional func
tions planned.
The University of Oregon is the
first educational institution to
sponsor such a tournament for
high school students. In the past
Roseburg, Eugene, Milwaukie, Un
ion, and Lincoln high schools have
captured the trophy for the finest
productions.

enter the semi-finals today. The
Independents were unlucky enough
to draw the powerful A. T. O.
quartet of Benson, Harper, Leedy,

Beta tangle in the other bracket.
Gilbert Sprague and Sol Schnei
der, of the Independents, downed
Stadelman and Cheney 21-7, 13-21,
21-12 to clinch their matches
against Sigma Nu after Kashuba
had taken Stott’s measure 21-15,
21-15. Although Barendrick lost
to Schmeer, of Fiji, 20-22, 10-21,
Epps and Jensen, Betas, won with
ease in the doubles over West, and
Maguire and Les Johnson took the
deciding sets from McDonald 21-7,
21-7. Rhine and Cress, the Kappa
Sig singles stars, took Potter and
Hart, of Sigma Chi, down the line
but Ireland and Deaver fell before
Will and Stenchol in the doubles.
La Casa Filipina continued their
spectacular march with A. B. C. |
being on the receiving end this
time, 15-5, 15-1. Johnny Kitzmil
ler donned a suit for Beta and
aided his teammates in securing a
16-14, 15-2 decision over Zeta hall.
Kitzmiller has evidently had some
previous acquaintance with the
game as he unfurled a low bullet

Smith's Independents repeated
their performance of last week by
starting with a makeshift lineup
of four players, only two of which
were regulars, against the Alpha
hall sextet. With “Red” Kjoes
ness spiking, however, the Inde
pendents copped the first set 15-7.
After his handball game, Gilbert
Sprague joined the depleted ranks,
and the Independents kept their
slate clean by winning 15-6.

Although the first polo team in

two indoor games with the Orange
riders on Friday night, and Satur
day afternoon. Bill Hedlund, Wen
dell McCool, and Frank Kistner.
members of last year's squad and
all capable horsemen, will ride for
Oregon with A1 Clark and Willis
West in reserve.
! The matches will be played at
; the Corvallis armory, which en
closes in its walls the largest rid
ing academy west of the Mississip
pi. The Beavers have lined up two
trios to appear against Oregon,
one group at 7:30 Friday night
and the other at 2 o'clock Satur
day afternoon. Dirker, O'Connor,
Price, Sugnet, Botilfnnon, and Pen
| ney, who held the crack Forest
! Hills outfit to a low score a week
ago, are more than ready to cross
mallets with the Ducks inasmuch j
as they have the benefit of more j
experience, better coaching, and
better facilities.
Despite this disadvantage the
Oregon poloists have begun serious
practice for the match, and may
upset their experienced opponents.
Dirker, who played for Oregon last
spring, is one of the Beaver stars
so this may mean that the teams
are more evenly matched than last
year. Other meets, both indoor
and outdoor, between the schools
will probably be arranged later.

Character of Calvin Frye
Is Revealed
“Mrs. Eddy’s Right Hand Man,’*
by Ernest Sutherland Bates, for
mer professor of philosophy at the
University of Oregon, has been
published in the February number
of Harper’s magazine.
Mr. Bates in his article says
"Calvin Frye was spoken of as
Mrs. Eddy's private secretary be
cause of the amount of corre
spondence of which he relieved her,
but he was more than that—he
was her bookkeeper, her purchas
ing agent, and her personal rep
resentative on many important oc
casions. Mr. Frye had so many
duties in the Eddy household, that
there is no real term which could
be given him to cover all hi's
duties. The secretary owes his high
standing or position in the Eddy
household to his talent as an anti
mesmerist.”
In this light Mr. Bates writes
his interesting story of the ro
mance and the life that the pri
vate secretary led as an employee
of Mary Baker Eddy, founder of
Christian Science. The author
