WOULD POSTPONE l COUNTRY Hi M2 Agric Trainer Thinks He Can Not Put Runners In Shape By Then There is a serious hitch in the ne gotiations, and it is very probable that the cross country run scheduled with O. A. C. for November 12 will not occur, at least on that day. The meet was to have taken place on the morn ing of the big gridiron contest, but Trainer Hayward has received a notifi cation from the O. A. C. trainer that it will be impossible for him to put his long distance men in condition by No vember 12, and that he wants to post pone the contest to a much later date, or call the whole thing off. The Oregon management can not see why the early date is not as fair to one team as the other, and has written the Agrics objecting to a change in the time. So far, no reply has been received, and the outcome of the affair is yet doubtful.

Scbwarzscbild STUDY OF SHAKESPEARE Theses By Seniors and Post Grads On Every Phase of His Works Twelve seniors and three post grad- j nates in the English Literature depart ment of the University are making their theses on Shakespeare, each one (studying anjd developing a different phase of the great poet's work. The three graduate theses for the Master's degree take up studies in Shakespeare which have hitherto scarcely been touched upon. They are: The Person ality of Shakespeare as Used by the Critics to Explain His Plays, by Mary Watson; The Negative Element of Shakespeare Criticism, by Greta Bris tow ; and The Identity of Personali ties of Shakespeare’s Women, by Ruth Duniway. A library on Shakespeare is being gathered by the department of English Literature, which, when completed, is expected to be one of the most exten sive ever brought together. Prof. H. C. Howe, head of the department, ex pects the theses themselves will be val uable contributions to the library. WHITWORTH "CAPTAIN HURT AT TACOMA Captain Norman Pike, of the Whit worth College football team, is report ed to be dying as the result of injuries sustained in a game last Saturday be tween Whitworth and Pacific Univer sity, of Forest Grove, Oregon. Pike was injured while attempting to tackle Captain Ward, of the visiting team, when the latter was making an end run. As he reached for Ward, the latter’s knee struck him in the abdomen. Pike was taken to the hospital and an opera tion was necessary, but it is feared he will die. Coach George Case, of Whit worth, complained bitterly throughout the game that the Forest Grove play ers were “kneeing” the Tacoma men. This charge was emphatically denied by Coach Colville, of Pacific. SPELL BINDERS BUSY PREPARING FOR TRYOUT All orators intending to enter the first tryout for the Intercollegiate Ora torical Contest, December 3rd, are busy at present with preparations. Manager Huntington expects at least twenty men to enter the tryout. Six will be selected at this tryout for a final tryout in Janu ary. Both men ar.d women are -c^ble for the contest. Only one of last year's orators, Leon Ray, is back for the tryout next month. Coach Buchen, however, hopes to se cure recruits from his class in Public Speech. Every meriiber of this class is required to write an oration. Subjects have already been selected and the stu dents are at work. S. H. FRIENDLY LEADING STORE College men and women trade at Fsiendly’s because it is the only natural thing for them to do WHY? • • • There’s a Reason Think it Over PRES. CAMPBELL FAVORS Ashland University Club Is Also Strongly in Favor of Three State Normal Schools “Failure of Oregon at the coining state election to supply a good system of training schools for teachers will be nojthing short of a calamity to the state.” This is the opinion of President Campbell, in an interview upon the nor mal school situation in Oregon. Pres ident Campbell believes that the matter of voting “yes” upon the three initia- j tive normal bills is a question of supreme importance to the state. “Oregon has j committed herself to direct legislation, and the children in schools of the state, the coming citizens,” he says, “should unquestionably bS given the best train ing and education which the state can afford. Good training in the schools can not be had with inefficient or poorly trained teachers. The matter is one urgently calling for immediate and con clusive action.” It is also his opinion that political cbnsiderations would, after the pas sage of the bills, be eliminated from the normal appropriations. “If the peo ple vote the appropriation of $25,000 per year at present asked for by each school,” he says, “the chances are very great that the normal school question will forever pass out of politics in ready placed by state law under the management of one board of control, of which board the Governor, the Secretary of State, and the State Superintendent of Public Instruction are ex-officio mem bers, there need be no danger of legis lative ‘log rolling’ as to future appro priations. The needs of each school will be determined by this single board and suitable recommendations made by it to the legislature.” The Ashland University Club, com posed of Oregon graduates, and one of the strongest “Boost for Oregon” or ganizations in the state, is also strong for three normal schools. They are now mailing over the state a circular letter, signed by Lewis Dodge, Claude Downing, Homer Billings and Clyde A. Payne, setting forth their opinions on the normal school situation. “The club has stood,” the letter states, “for god public schools all the time; and realizing the necessity of normal train ing to good public schools, the bills providing for the establishment of the three normal schools, be passed. They do not approve of the idea of one central normal, saying that a central location in Oregon is a “long, long ways from anywhere.” “Other states have good normal facilities,” they say, “and it is time Oregon was getting in line.” FOOTBALL MONTHLY WIL BE OUT NOV. 15 The copy for the November issue of the Oregon Monthly will be placed in the hands of the printer within a week, and the publication will be given to the subscribers about November 15.
