Gamma Phi Fire
Damages Floor
The old story of the man'wlio
was too near the trees to see the
forest turned up with a new angle
Monday noon when the Gamma
Phi Beta house caught fire and
girls who were upstairs at the time
never realized what was going
on.
The alarm was first given by
a deaf-mute woman who was
bringing up the laundry. She
wildly waved her arms, trying
to convey the meaning of her
fright until smoke billowed up
and removed all doubt. An over
heated furnace set fire to part of
the floor and it burned through,
damaging a radiator.
Two pieces of fire apparatus
answered the call. Firemen car
ried up a hose which they got
tangled up in the doorway while
frightened girls looked on. When
the fire was extinguished and or
der restored downstairs, damage
was estimated at less than $50.
After the fire was over, five
girls who had been upstairs came
out with the $64 question: “Gee,
what has been going on?”

Sunday Games
Condemned by
Clerical Heads
Oregon was the center of an
attack levelled by the Medford
Ministerial association. The form
of the attack was a severe criti
cism issued in a resolution de
ploring the fact that the institu
tion allowed a Sunday football
game on the campus. Officials
here* who read the accusation
with regret, generally expressed
the view that there had been
"misunderstanding,” since the
army and not the University,
scheduled the game.
The Medford resolution, refer
ring to the game played here
Sunday afternoon between the
campus ASTU Army Ducks and
the 104th Cavalry from Marsh
field, declared, in part:
"We vigorously challenge this
action as a breach of trust vest
ed in them (campus authorities)
by the state. We protest against
the use of our state-owned cam
pus for desecration of a tenet
that is in direct violation of a
command of God: ‘Remember the
Sabbath day, to keep it holy.”
The ministers directed that a
copy of the resolution be for
warded to Dr. F. M. Hunter,
chancellor of higher education in
the state, and Dr. Donald M. Erb,
University president, as well as
to the newspapers. However, both
Dr. Hunter and Dr. Erb are at
present in the East on business.
It Was the Army
Questioned as to the grounds
for such an attack, John A. War
ren, University ,football coach
said the army authorities, not the
University, scheduled the game.
“The University had nothing to
do with it,” he said. Warren did
not care to make any further
comment regarding the Medford
resolution.
Dr. Earl M. Pallett, executive
secretary, speaking in the absence
of Dr. Erb and Dr. Hunter, made
the following statement:
“The University of Oregon
never has played a football game
on its campus on Sunday. Fur
thermore, there is no intention
of ever doing so. The University
of Oregon has on its campus,
1000 army students under con
tract. Under this contract, it is
necessary to provide instruction,
housing and messing, medical ser

What, No Anchor?
The Cavalry boys were a pretty
fair team
But they know now what strong
defense means,
And may we suggest that before
their next game
They remove those horseshoes
from their jeans.
