The Beaver captain was “hot” and his nine field goals, i coupled with some beautiful pass ' ing and defensive work, was the big factor in the Beaver victory. The Beaver zone defense work ed perfectly against the Washing ton long-shooting attack and the Husky high scorers, Johnny Fulier and Hal Lee, were given few chances to get away their long arches. The whole Oregon State team played hard, clean ball and disorganized the Huskies by inter cepting passes and taking the ball away time after time. Lewis Breaks Away Oregon State jumped into the lead on a cripple by Skeet O’Con nell, flashy black-thatched for ward. Pete Anloncich, tall Wash ington center, tied it up with a duplicate shot, only to have Skeet put in another. Lewis evaded Antoncich to get in two field goals and run the score up to 9 to 5. Bob Galer, substitute Washington "forward, put in two field goals and a free throw to give the Hus kies their only lead, 12 to 9. Lewis and O’Connell went to work again and ran up a 25-to-19 lead at the halftime. Every mem ber of the Beaver quintet followed the ball like hawks d.uring the first period and broke up the speedy Washington attacks by taking the ball away or by knocking down passes. Numerous missed cripples on the part of the Orangemen lost several points when they took the ball on long passes behind the Washington guards. Second Team Peps Game For the first 16 minutes of the second period the bewildered Hus kies were able to make only four points, two of them on foul shots. Lewis, O’Connell and Carl Lcnchit sky, guard, were the main cogs in the Beaver offense. With only four minutes left to play, Hec Ed mundson sent in an entire new team and it enlivened the closing (Continued on Page Four) Reinhart Acting In Capacities of Coach, Manager T»ECAUSE Manager Kenneth McKean was declared ineli gible several days ago and be cause there was no adequate opportunity in which to name a successor, Bill Reinhart will take care of the manager’s i duties himself on the basketball team’s northern trip, which started yesterday. Instead of taking a manager, Reinhart took an extra player, Ralph Terjeson. To date, Reinhart has coop erated this season as no coach ever has before. He paid for new sweaters out of his own pocket, accepted a salary re duction, voluntarily gave up training table, brought back $150 profit from the barn storming trip into California, and did numerous other things to help the A. S. U. O. in its financial distress. Four Oregon Men Attend League of Nations at Geneva Reunion Banquet Anticipated for Ex-University Students and Instructors at Meet While attending the League of Nations at Geneva, Switzerland, four men, well known to many fac ulty members and alumni, gath ered to consider an Oregonian ban quet and alumni reunion, reported Dr. George Rebec, dean of the graduate school, who received a letter recently from Wilkie Nelson Collins, who is one of the men at Geneva. Collins, a former member of the University faculty staff, is now chief adviser to Ambassador Quo, Chinese representative to Eng land. Last summer Mr. Collins taught at the Portland center. Ac cording to several faculty mem bers, in the last 20 years Mr. Col lins has made periodic visits to the Oregon campus. Dr. Rebec relates that while he taught at the Uni versity of Michigan Mr. Collins was one of his pupils, and since that time they have carried on correspondence. Mr. Collins was teaching at the University of Pennsylvania when he first met Mr. Quo, who was then a student at the institution, who has climbed to a foremost position in interna tional politics; with Mr. Collins as his adviser. One of the Oregon alumni is (Continued on Page Pour) Smith Made Director Of State Mining Group Dr. Warren D. Smith, head of the geography department, was appointed a director of the Oregon State Mining congress at a meet ing of that body held recently in Salem. Dr. Smith was also elect ed vice-president of the Western Oregon Mining association. Other Eugene men to be elected were R. M. Betts, president; and E. G. Harlan of the Eugene cham ber of commerce, secretary. The organization went on record as in favor of the remonitization of silver, and opposed to any sys tem of fiat money, Dr. Smith said. * Sunday’s Symphony Concert Dubbed Fine Orchestration By DAVID WILSON Journalists of the last genera tion might have dubbed Sunday’s concert "an auspicious occasion.” A crowd of 2500 (estimate by Tom Stoddard, C. P. A.) came to en joy and applaud one of the finest programs presented by the Uni versity Symphony orchestra in re cent years. Rex Underwood’s direction, and the weeks of rehearsal that pre ceded it, drew from the larg^r than-usual orchestra a perform ance that even made one forget McArthur court acoustics. The in troduction of two numbers by string ensembles proved very pop ular. Miss Frances Brockman added green sprigs to old laurels with a performance of Max Bruch concerto in G-minor for violin and orchestra that reflected continued improvement in style, technique, and feeling to the many who had heard her in previous appearances with the orchestra. Beethoven’s No. 3 “Leonore” overture was a well done hors d'oeuvres for Schubert’s B-minor (Unfinished) symphony. Too of ten the “Unfinished” is dished up as a sure-fire number, without much worry about the best possi ble presentation. Sunday’s per formance of it would not be. indi cated on that score, for Mr. Un derwood made the most of its con trasting moods and its lovely mel odic lines, with sparkling work (Continued on Page Three) Newsladies Feature in Stage Production Staff members of Toledo’s three newspapers compose the cast of “The Front Fajfe,” which will be presented as a charity performance for the city’s needy children. Louise Carr (left), society editor of the Toledo Blade plays one of the leads, and Betty Birch, Toledo Times reporter, plays another one of the principal parts. Maiden Braves Icy Race Waters In Frigid Plunge PEEKING to prove that the female of the species is more torrid than the male, Roberta Moody, intrepid Gam ma Phi, hit the mill-race yes terday. Clad in a bright crim son sun-suit which bared some foot and a half of rapidly cool ing spine, Miss Moody stalked across the lawn of the Gamma Phi den and disappeared with a loud splash into the waters. Thence, she swam a block down to the Beta barn. How ever, upon coming up for air, she caught a glimpse of Ned Simpson. This proved too much for the maiden ,who returned with a good deal of celerity to the starting point.

Newspaper Workers Turn Actors for Benefit of Poor TOLEDO, Ohio, Jan. 23— (AP) —Toledo newspaper workers are adopting the direct method of aiding charity. After years of writing stories aiding this and that charitable enterprise, they are going to pre sent their own performance of “The Front Page,” proceeds of j which will go to feed and clothe | needy Toledo children. Not only are the editors and reporters getting a new thrill out of “writing charity” in telling of the forthcoming performance— they are having the fun of acting on the stage the way people think they act in real life. The entire cast is composed of staff members of Toledo newspa pers, the Blade, the Times, and the News-Bee. The part of Hildy Johnson is taken by a real police reporter, John McGowan, of the News-Bee. The mayor is Diok Roberts, Blade aviation editor, who also is general chairman of the project.

In the following story Mr. Prescott tills 'how a eastern similar to that which the Emerald suggests has been inaugurated successfully at one of the na tion’s leading colleges.) By JULIAn T’RESCOTT Student government at the Uni versity of Chicago, a noted and liberal school, has been placed in the hands of a faculty board, a committee of seven students and various sub-committees, the mem bers of which are all appointive! The system of elective student body officers was abandoned re cently after it had been found inef ficient. The faculty board, known as the board on the coordination of stu dent interests, is in general charge of policy making relative to all student affairs. This includes ath letics, other extra-curricular ac tivities, admissions and compre hensive examinations. The mem bers of the board are exclusively faculty members, there being no student representation on it, what ever. The chairman of this group i3 the dean of students and univer sity examiner. He is also execu tive officer of the board and sees that its policies are followed in the conduct of student affairs. Dean Names Students In more direct control of cam pus activities, but subject to the policies of the faculty board, is the “student committee on student affairs.” This body is composed of seven students who are appoint ed by the dean of students. The committee consults with the dean on student affairs. It is also the legislative body for undergraduate activities. Its actions, however, are subject to the approval of the dean. Responsibility for administration f>f the various student activities, with the exception of athletics, has been delegated to four groups whose fields are classified as stu dent publications, dramatic and (Continued on Page Three) Professors Will Read Papers Before Group Two University of Oregon pro fessors will read papers before the members of Sigma Xi, national science honorary, of both Oregon State and the University at a joint dinner meeting to be held at 6:30 tonight at the Memorial Union building on the Corvallis campus.

Silver Cup Awaits Campus Champs in Ping Pong Games Celluloid Technocrats Will Clash In Intramural Tournnment Ili-ld at *Y' Bungalow A silver cup awaits the ping pong champions of the campus. Recognizing that many self-ap pointed celluloid technocrats of the campus have bragged for lo these many moons without substantia tion of their claims, the Y. M. C. A. cabinet has secured a loving cup through the courtesy of Mc Morran and Washburne as a first prize in an intramural ping-pong tournament to be held at the “Y” hut. The tournament will be open to all men's living and independent organizations, with a three-man team required from each compet ing group. An entr$ list is posted on the “Y” bulletin board, and all entries must be signed up not later than 7 o’clock tomorrow evening. Entries may also be phoned to Gene Stromberg at the hut.

State Board in Session Makes Move Decision Corvallis New Location Effective at Once ECONOMY IS MOTIVE l>r. Yal Hoyt, Ii A. Dear Appointed Supervisor of Offiee; Force Will Be Decreased PORTLAND, j;in. Z3— (Special) The central business office of the Oregon state system of high er education was moved from Salem to Corvallis by the state board in a session here today. The change is effective at once. Harrison Val Hoyt, head of the school of business administration at the University, was named su pervisor of the business depart ment. The board declared that 55 per cent of all the work handled by the business office originates in the Corvallis institution, and that great savings can be effected by transferring the office to that city immediately. The new set-up, the board revealed, will continue un til July, or as soon thereafter as it is feasible to create a perman er>4 central business organization under a comptroller. $22,000 Saving Seen The change was recommended by Dean Hoyt, who, after a month's study, said he learned that a saving of $22,000 as well as increased efficiency, could be ob tained by the transfer tp Corval lis. The central office will be organ ized under two divisions, one a de partment of requisitions and claims, the other handling audits and accounts. A close tie-up with Chancellor William J. Kerr's office will be maintained, the board explained, by having the dean of the busi ness administration school at the head of the new business office. Four To Be Fired Four members of the present business office staff will lose their jobs immediately, it was said. Several other staff members may be eliminated later. Chancellor Kerr scored the busi ness office for “its past record of wholly pnsatisfactory results and high cost of operation.” He de clared, however, that it was the system, rather than the personnel, that was at fault. Neither Dean Hoyt nor Dr. Kerr could be reached by the Emerald last night to comment on the new business office set-up. It was thought they both were in Port land. Mrs. Allen Will Write New Novel in Portland Mrs. Sally Allen, wife of Eric . VV.

Last Wednesday evening was special for girls, because of Mrs. Allen's intention to leave. Afraid of Exams? Then Don’t Become A. Rhodes Scholar By CYNTHIA LILJEQVTST Many have asked: What is the background and what are the qual ifications of a Rhodes scholar? Don Stuurman, assistant in the philosophy department, answers these questions in the following in terview. He was recently awarded a Rhodes scholarship from the state of Washington district, an honor that will give him, together with other American students, the ‘ privilege of studying three years i at Oxford university. I asked him what his reaction! to the examination was and how he was questioned. “In my judgment it was very fair and the inquisitors proceeded | cleverly. My judges were all Rhodes scholars; two were law-| yers and three were professors. They immediately threw into my teeth G. K. Chesterton’s paradox, ‘Everything matters except every thing.' After I had struggled with this awhile, they proceeded: “Have you read Eugene O'Neil’s ‘Mourn ing Becomes Electra?’ What did you think about it in comparison with the rest of his works? How did you rate it with other trage dies?” “I answered that ‘it is certainly O’Neil’s best effort but it falls short of great tragedy. I believe that O'Neil has exhausted his sub ject matter by his method of ap proach to what seems to him to be a problem. His conception, the psychology of his approach, does (ContwufJ oh Page Three)
