BOYS HAVING GOOD
TIME AT LAKE RESORT
By W. S. Main.
American Lake, Nov. 22.—The Ore
gon team, in their special car, arrived in
Tacoma early yesterday morning. A
special car was obtained so that the
men would not have" to arise when the
train reached Tacoma, which happened
about four o'clock in the morning. Af
ter breakfast in lacoma, the team took
the car out to the lake, the trip con
suming nearly an hour's time. In the
afternoon the boys hired boats and
rowed away out into the center of the
lake, where they all gathered together,
told stories and sang songs.
I his morning the team awoke to gaze
upon a grand sight. A driving wind
came scurrying across the lake toward
the hotel, stirring up the sheet of water
into white capped waves and sending
the falling rain hustling into their faces.
I he far shore of the lake could barely
be distinguished through the falling
spray. The wind moaned in the trees
and rattled the windows and it was
almost impossible to make one's way
against it. The men are enjoying it all
immensely.
I his afternoon comes first practice,
followed by a steaming out of cripples.
The injured men are gradually improv
ing and will be in first rate condition
for the game. I he team will leave ear
ly Wednesday morning for Seattle and
probably bold their last practice in the
afternoon on Denny Field, where he
big game takes place.
Visitors from Seattle yesterday state
that the Washington team is not so
confident of winning as before the game
of last Friday. Dobie is working his
team hard and endeavoring to drive out
any over-confidence. Oregon counts on
Washington being over-worked besides
ovcr-conlidcnt and these factors may
win the game for the lemon yellow.
American Lake, where the Oregon
team is now training, is located twelve
miles south of Tacoma. An electric
line connects it with the city, cars run
ning every hour. It is a beautiful sheet
of water, about four miles long and
half as broad. A very pretty island is
located in the center, reminding one of
piteures of Fllen's Isle, mentioned in
Scott's Lady of the Lake. \ growth of
pine and firs run down to the water's
edge.
It is hard to realize just why Tacoma
does not take advantage of this beauty
spot. It is certain that if located close
to Kugcnc, or some of our wide-awake
(fregon towns, it would be improved
and advertised as one of the resorts in
the country. As it is there is only a
small second rate hotel on the shore,
with a boat house adjoining.
CO-ED DEBATE IS NOW
DEFINITELY ARRANGED
I'lie debating prowess of the Univer
sity of Oregon this year, will not he
upheld hy the men of the institution
alone, hut the co-eds are also to have
an opportunity of appearing in the field
in a dehate against the co-eds of the
University of Washington. Manager
Steele is n receipt of a letter from the
University of \\ ashington. announcing
that the hoard of control has decided
favorably on the proposition of holding
an inter collegiate debate between the
women of tjic two schools, and Coach
Huchen is ‘drawing up a two year con
tract which1 will he at once forwarded
to Washington for approval \ll of
the main points have already been
agreed upon by the two institutions.
Each team is to consist of three de
1 aters. I lie question is to he chosen
hy the visiting team, the other team
having the choice of sides. The first
Friday in May has been decided upon
as the date for holding the debate. It
will he in Seattle this year and in Eu
gene next year.
STUDENTS NEED NOT
RESIDE AT VARSITY
•'I expect to see the Correspondence
Department grow until it surpasses in
size all the other departments of the
university combined," said Professor
Alderman, head of the department, to
an Emerald reporter when asked today
as to his work. This would simply
mean that in the college of the future,
students would no longer find it nec
essary to reside there, but would carry
on their education perhaps evenings af
ter hours.
Since its establishment in 1907 the
Correspondence Department has been
making great progress. Last year three
hundred students were taking active
work under it and the number shows
indications of climbing as high as live
hundred before the close of the present
semester.
The idea of the department is to in
struct students at a distance through
the agency of the U. S. mails. Regular
texts and guide readings for study are
printed and sent out at the bare cost of
postage. The usual expense per course
is about one dollar.
New courses are being added as the
scope of the work can be extended, the
latest being some in Economics by
Professor Young. This makes the full
list up to date as follows:
1. English Classics.
2. Shakespeare.
3. Pedagogy.
4. Pedagogy.
5. Physiology and botany—one-half
year each.
0. Oregon History.
7. Recent European History.
8. The Principles of Economics.
9. The Elements of Sociology.
111. Public Finance.
11. Money and Banking.
12. Railway Transportation.
13. Elementary Algebra.
14. Advanced Algebra.
15. Plane Geometry.
16. Solid Geometry.
17. Trigonometry.
18. Analytic Geometry.
19. Calculus.
20. Analytical Mechanics.
21. Mathematical Methodology.
22. Klementary Physics.
23. Electricity and Magnetism.
24. Mechanical Drawing.
25. English Composition.

doing fairly well as a substitute punter.
Latourette and Chandler have com
peted with each other for two years for
the quarter-hack position. 1'he latter
was forced to drop out for a time this
year on account of his studies hut was
fortunately available for the northern
trip, to use in case Latourette is dis
abled.
Sap Latourette has been improving
steadily until he is now the peer of any
quarter hack in the Northwest. At run
ning punts hack he is unequaled, al
ready making two clear touchdowns by
his phenominal work this season.
Creator still, perhaps, is his skill in
throwing forward passes, not one going
astray in the O. A. C. game. With Sap
in the game there is a dunce any time
for a sensational run that may turn
victory into defeat at the very end of
the game. Because of his clever work,
he is being mentionel prominently for
a place on the "All Northwest” team.
Main and McKinley are both doing
good work in the hack-field, the former
being known for his hard consistent
playing and the latter for his brilliant
dash. For a time this year Main played
at tackle, but was again placed in the
back-field to till Clark's position. It
i" doubtful where he will play in the
Washington game.

ORATORY SHALL NOT
DIE, SAYS WASHINGTON
"Oratory is too important to be
dropped.” Thus taking vigorous ex
ception to the declaration from the Uni
versity of Idaho that the days of ora
tory are past, Manager Angevine, of
the University of Washington, writes
to Manager Steele, of Oregon, advising
that steps he taken to fill the place made
vacant by the cecession of Idaho from
the Interstate Oratorical Association.
He offers the suggestion that the
University of Montana be considered
for membership in the league, with
Whitman College as next choice. The
Oregon Committee of Oratory has
voted to extend an invitation, with the
consent of the University of Washing
ton, for the University of Montana to
fill the place formerly held in the league
by Idaho, and in case Montana finds it
impossible to enter into membership, to
extend a similar invitation to Whitman
College.

cultural College before going to Wash

One of the remarkable things about
this man as well as several other fa
mous players, is his attachment for Gil
mour Dobie, the Washington Coach.
To he with him he has come half way
across the continent. In fact this is
one of the strangest things about the
great Minnesota Coach. During his
second year at the N. D. A. C. nine
star men came from Minnesota or near
there to make up his great champion
ship aggregation that never defeated a
team by less than fifty points. The
regular students, however, objected to
being crowded out by these invaders
and ended by asking Dobie to resign.
He came to Washington, two of his
men, Mucklestone and Eakins, again
following him.

The men who made places this year
as freshmen are Mitchell, Walker, Bai

of an injury in Friday’s game. He has
been playing good ball at center and
was the only freshman to make the
