What Are They for?
Webfoots To Find Out!
Dick Says
Run\, and Run
They Did
A pair of Sigma Nu fratern
ity brothers from rival schools
got together before the first
WSC-Oregon game last night
over at the local chapter, and
what they said to each other
proved interesting for what hap
pened on the court later.
Big John Dick, Webfoot cap
tain, suggested to Co-Captain
Bill Chase, of the Washington
State team, "Let's run for a
change, Bill.”
And Bill responded, “Well,
we'll see, John, I don’t know.”
(Just as if he was to tell his
team plans to his pet rival). Af
ter the romping by both teams
last night, it looks like Chase
did plan to run.
The two captains talked over
their respective trips to the east
this winter, and came to the con
clusion that the eastern teams
play a rougher game than they
do in the West.
Chase told John that both Ore
gon and Washington State were
n't out of it yet, (meaning the
conference race), to which Dick
responded that’s right, one will
be Tuesday night, but it wouldn’t
be his team.
New Plan Used in
Writing Papers
A new plan is being employed
in the writing of the new set of
term papers, according to Profes
sor F. G. Black of the English de
partment.
Each class will be working on
one general subject, each class
member choosing a subdivision in
which he is interested. Thus it will
be more of a class project than in
the past.

We give green stamps
A plea for more careful observ
ance of city traffic regulations was
| issued last week by City Record
er Cal Bryan, who declares that
University students continually
plead ignorance of city parking
regulations when arrested in the
shopping area.
Explaining rules now in force,
Bryan pointed out the difference
between the rules in the various
painted areas of the downtown
parking streets:
Trucks Only
Green paint means “trucks
only.” Usually this green paint is
accompanied by a sign stating
what it means. And it does not
mean “Students may park their
cars here and go to a show.”
Yellow paint means “Parking is
prohibited.”
White paint means “Parking is
legitimate according to the time
posted.”
Persons who park their cars
may leave them only as long as
the time specified on the parking
meter. After that time is used the
car may not be parked in the same
block again during the same half
day. “Same block” includes both
sides of the street.
Shut It Off
Double parking and alley park
ing are both strictly forbidden.
Parking with the motor running is
also “taboo.” Motors must be
turned off.
Never park on the left side of
the street.
Stop streets mean “stop” streets,
not “hesitate” streets. And if you
are picked up for not stopping it
won’t help matters to say that
your brakes don’t work.
Proper lights are essential.
“Seats,” Mr. Bryan emphasized,
"are for two or three persons, not
four or five.
“And running boards,” he con
cluded, “are for getting in and out
of cars, not for standing on them
when the car is in motion.”

to a zone defense to hold ’em at all.
He has been noted for using a man
to man defense almost exclusively
in the past but rings in a zone
this winter against the fast clubs.
(Washington State used it in one
Washington game.) Score at half
time: Washington State 15, Pur
due 14 . . . and the Cougars lost
by a dozen points.
A Friel opinion ... on the new
rule which gives the offensive
team option of taking the ball out
of bounds instead of trying a foul
conversion. ... He doesn’t think
it makes a very tremendous change
in the game anyway . . . but it’s a
boon to the stalling club . . . Coach
Friel offers as an example the
club which does this through most
of one half to “freeze” the ball . . .
Frankly we hadn’t heard of a quin
tet pulling such a stunt more than
once in any one game, but it's a
possibility.

"Have Got Tree,
What Kind Is It?
Sprig Has Cumb
By PAT ERICKSON
Iinformation Please;
Eyes blinked and heads got
together when the following let
ter was received by Professor F.
Wangaard of the University of
Washington forestry school:
“Professor Forrestry:
“We have got a tree growing
in our yard which we don’t know
what it is. It is not a very big
tree and it has a lot of branches.
It is about ten years old and it is
growing very fast. We have got
to know what kind of tree it is
because the cows keep nibbling
on it and if it is not good for
them we should know quick.
“They told us that the forrest
ry department could tell us.
“Also it has very big leaves.
“Very truly yours,
(Mrs.) Tillie -
“Route 1, Box -
Ola I La, Wash.
“P.S. There is a bird nest
about half w'ay down.”
■—Univ. of Wash. Daily.
For the first time in the his
tory of the Evergreen, student
tri-weekly newspaper at the
State college of Washington,
large groups of superior students
are being taken directly from
journalism classes to work on
the paper.
The new system, involving
credit for proof-readers, report
ers, editors and make-up men, is
being worked out cooperatively
by Editor Loyd Salt and Pro
fessor J. L. Ashlock, head of the
journalism department.

Spring has cumb
And so has golds.
Not gold from ground
But gold in nose.
Dug dings golds du
Tu by boor breath
Fills be full of

It gibs my nose
A ruddy glow . . .
And like the whale
I blow ug blow.
By bones all ache
By temper’s short.
By head feels like
A red hot torch. . . .
And yet I want du
Dance and sing,
“Spring has cumb . . .

Club for the Faculty
Faculty men at the University
of Minnesota have a Campus
Club—500 belong to it, and 10
live in it. The club is located in
the left wing of the Union build
ing.
When the instructors are not
in classes they spend their time
about the club rooms, playing
billiards or bridge, correcting pa
pers, or reading Time magazine.
Quarters would become
cramped if the whole 500 dropped
in at once for the club has but
one lounge, library, game room,
dining room, kitchen, and ten
dorm rooms. Members will have
larger quarters with the com
pletion of new' space for them in
the Union building.

Behind the Scenes
Before David O. Selznick had
completed ‘‘Gone With the Wind,”
he ran out of money and borrowed
SI,200,000 from the bankers. . . .
They probably will get back the
full loan this month. ... In six
weeks, “Gone With the Wind” has
grossed about $3,000,000 of which
$2,000,000 goes to Selznick and
MGM. . . . The world gross of the
flicker now appears to be headed
’or a stuggering total of 25 millions
of dollars.
Breaking All Records
Nearly everyone believed that
"Snow White” had exhausted the
box-office “ceiling” . . . but experts
now agree that it will bust all rec
ords including the 14 million dol
lars that “Birth of a Nation”
grossed over a span of many years.
. . Clarence Muse has written an
irticle for the “Chicago Defender”
panning “Gone With the Wind” for
the attitude toward the colored
people.
Candid Camera Shots
Jean Parker has a new St. Ber
nard dog that is getting more pic
ture offers than she is. The dog
played in two pictures last week
ind Miss Parker collected $50 for
jach day’s work. . . . Dick Powell
got his start in Pittsburgh but
won’t play that town on his pres
snt personal appearance tour be
cause they offered him less money
than any other key cities in the
country. . . . Wayne Morris’ kid
brother is working as a doorman
it the Vogue theatre in Hollywood.
Everyone in Hollywood is anx
iously awaiting the opening of
‘The Grapes of Wrath,” which got
some of the best New York re
views ever read. But before Holly
wood, the movie capital, gets this
picture, “The Grapes of Wrath”
will open at Fresno. . . . Cary
Grant's real name is Alexander
Archibald Leach, and he hails from
Bristol, England. In “His Girl Fri
Jay” he makes genuine reference
to his name, Archie Leach. He has
x definite use for his old name. He
ras given it to his pet dog.
Although “Gone With the Wind”
s a great success it did bust up a
friendship between George Cukor
ind David Selznick. Cukor was the
original director but when the pic
ture went into production, everyone
vas under a terrific strain. . . . Tiny
things were exaggerated out of all
iroportion, but the straw that
iroke the camel’s back was a dif
ference in the interpretation of one
scene. . . . Leslie Howard walking
lown the stairs, was to meet Scar
ett O’Hara. . . . Selznick believed
that Howard at that precise mo
nent, would be scared to meet her;
Hukor said he did not think so. . . .

(Continued from par/e three)
Coach Jack Friel, Washington
State top man, had this to say of
the Oregon team: “They’re one of
the best clubs I've ever seen. They
have everything and look tough
enough for me.”
Quip of the week goes to Archie
Marshik of the Oregon team who
said after the game last night:
“Tomorrow night we’re going to
run.’’ *
