COACH WILL TRAIN MEN
ON FIRST PRINCIPLES
PROSPECTS OF VICTORY
NOT VERY BRIGHT
AT PRESENT
Coach Warner Confronted With
Taste of Developing a Team
From Raw Material, Largely.
Forty men drilling for two hours on
the rudiments of football is the spec
tacle presented every night on Kincaid
field. Already some advance is shown
know practically nothing, while the
freshmen are beginning to learn that
they know less than nothing. All are
showing a willingness for work that
presages well for the future of the 1910
team.
Coach Warner, in speaking of the
squad, said: “I was never before in
charge of a squad of men composed to
such a large extent of entirely green
men; men who have had no prep, school
training whatever. The men, however,
are willing to work and they show the
right fighting spirit. It is this fight
ing spirit that must win the games. The
first part of the season must be devoted
almost entirely to teaching the funda
mentals of the game to the raw re
cruits.
It will be impossible to get any de
finite line on Oregon’s chances until
after the game with the Alumni which
takes place a week from Saturday. The
Alumni team will be composed entire
ly of all nothwest men. The result of
a game between these stars and War
ner's recruits will be watched with anx
iety by those who hope for Oregon’s
success.
The Beth Reah girls gave an infor
mal party at their new house to their
guests and some of their men friends
Saturday evening.
‘‘Kid” Reid, ’08, has charge of the
construction of a large power plant in
Brazil. He is employed by the General
Electric Company.
586 TOTAL REGISTRATION
—10 PER CENT INCREASE
The total number of students regist
ered in the University this year will un
doubtedly reach 1150. The records of
registration from the colleges of Law
and Medicine have not yet been re
ceived but already 586 students have
registered in the Colleges of Literature,
Science and Arts. Seventy students
registered in two days, Monday and
Tuesday. The freshman class this year
will be larger than ever before and is
expected to exceed 300.
Altogether there will be an increase
of about ten per cent over last year’s
total.
Ben H. Williams, TO, ex-president
of the student body and star pole vault
er, now teaching at Oakland High
School was around shaking hands with
old friends Saturday.
Fred Fowler, ’12, has secured a posi
tion in an architect’s" office in Portland
and will not return to college this fall.

iron With Complete Schedule
for Scrubs and Freshmen

October 22—Willamette at Eugene.
October 29—Idaho at Moscow.
November 12—O. A. C. at Portland
or Corvallis.
November 19—Whitworth at Eugene.
November 25—M. A. A. C. at Port

Beside the place for the O. A. C.
Oregon game, the football schedule for
the ’Varsity team has been def
initely settled. The schedule, as it
stands, includes but three games to be
played in Eugene, those with the Alum
ni, Willamette and Whitworth. There
will be several good second and fresh
men team games, however, to be play
ed on the local gridiron. The fresh
men eleven will meet the Eugene High
School as a preliminary to the Alumni
game, and on November 5th the baby
team will have a game with some Port
land High School. A date is also be
ing arranged for them with the O. A.
C. freshmen team. The University sec
ond team will also have several games
this season. A game has been secured
with the Chemawa Indians and arrange
ments are being made to have the sec
ond eleven meet Albany College and
Pacific University.
The selection of the place for the
Oregon- O. A. C. game lies with O. A.
C. this year, and word has not yet
been received from them in regard to
where it will be held. The game will
be played either at Corvallis or Port
land, however, and Manager Watson
promises either to secure reduced rates
from the railroad company or to run an
excursion train. If the student band
is organized early in the season it will
be taken with the team.
STUDENTS 111 FACULTY
WILL GET ACQUAINTED
The annual reception to the students
Christian Associations will begin Fri
day evening i:i the Men’s gymnasium.
This event has come to be traditional
at Oregon, occurring each year on thg
second Friday of the Fall semester and
is usually one of the best attended func
tions of the year, giving as it does, an
opportunity for old acquaintances to be
renewed and new acquaintances to be
formed a feature especially appreciated
by the freshmen.
A program will be given during the
evening, consisting of vocal and instru
mental music by some of the best known
artists of the University. Refreshments
will also be served on the balcony of
the gymnasium.
Every student is urgently invited to
attend this reception as it is the only
general social gathering of this sort
which will occur for some time to come.

LIST OF GLEE CLUBMEN
For the first time in the history of
the University, the Glee Club will con
tain more than the customary sixteen
or seventeen men. Professor Glen has
selected a list of twenty-four men from
the fifty or sixty who tried out and will
use twenty and perhaps all of them in
the final club. “Depending,” as he
said, "upon the showing made by the
individual men and by the club as a
whole.”
Ten of the old men are back and
are included in this year’s list. Of the
new men, seven are freshmen, six are
sophomores and one is a junior. Prof.
'Glen is immensely pleased with the
material he will have to work with. The
first tenor section contains four men
who have real first tenor voices—a qual
ity of voice hard to find. One tenor is
reputed to have the best of all tenor
voices in the history of Oregon Glee
Clubs. The other sctions are filled
with material said to surpass any sec
tion of past history'.
The following is the trial list chosen:
First tenor—Burke, Storie, Morrison,
Dobie, Matschembacher, Lai.
Second tenors—Curtiss, Powell, Rolfe,
Quigley, Clark, Bratager.
First Bass—Geisler, Frazer, Lamm,
Fortmiller, Brosius, Maris.
Second Bass—Barzee, Vawter, Stan
nard, Ding, Ogden.

bunch of first class songs and stunts—
introducing omething new in the way
of a program this year if possible.

Before an audience which crowded

dress to the students and faculty as
sembled which was inspiring and full
of good advice. His subject was “Mak

| and with the proper spirit.
President Campbell began by expres
! sing his appreciation of the large as

His address in part was as follows:
“The University owes an obligation to
the state. The state as a whole expects
the University as a whole to make good.
The returns from our great resources
must depend upon the human element:
the state expects the Uniyrsity to de
velop citizens and productive work
ers; the latent possibilities of the indi

recognizes his right to every means foi
j development.

the Monthly
The staff and business managers of
the Oregon Monthly met at the Kappa

It is the expectation to devote each is
sue to some branch of student activity
or phase of college life. Special num
bers on football, forensics, co-eds, music,,
track, the mill race, baseball and bas~
ketball are all promised.
An entirely new feature and one
which bids fair to double the subscrip

Oregon, and Why?” It is not<divulged
which of the editors will handle this
particular feature, but Dean Collins, ed
itor in chief, smiles when he says, “We
intend to feature the ‘Who’s who’ de
partment strongly. No one will be
slandered or ill treated, if it can be
avoided, but just the same this section
is going to be interesting reading ”
The fiction department will be in
charge of Willetta Wright. Karl On
thank will handle the Engineering sec
tion. Alma Payton will edit the poetry
and Lucile Abrams will have charge of
the illustrations. A large corps of stu
dent artists have promised to aid in
tb' illustration of the paper this year.
Lloyd Barzee, Dan Mitchell and Birdie
wise are assistants in the special de
partments.
The Freshman’s number, the first to
appear this fall will go into the hands
of the printer October 6, and will be
in the hands of tlie subscribers by the
middle of the month. Only enough
copies to lill subscriptions will be print
ed, so subscribe early if you can, to
know “Who’s who and what he did,”
said Collins. Ted Williams and Lee
Huggins and several of the assistant
editors are taking subscriptions.
