U.OFO.EXPEGTSTOWIN SAP LATOURETTE WILL NOT BE IN GAME THURSDAY Club Team Will Contain Many of Her Old Stars—Not the Same Bunch Willamette Met. The overwhelming score by which Willamette University defeated Mult nomah might seem to boost Oregon's chances against the club men by sev eral points, but it must be taken into consideration that it was practically a second team that went down before the Methodists. This does not mean that the Salem contingent does not possess some good men, for Rader, Cummins, and a few others, would make good on most of the conference teams. Yet the “Salemites” would not be consid ered formidable opponents to the Var sity aggregation. The real winged “M” stars, however, were out of Thursday’s game, and the lineup that confronts Oregon on Thanks giving Day will be noticeably different. Dudley Clark and Carl Wolff, conced ed to be two of the greatest punters who have ever performed in the North west. will be in the lineup. Carlson will also parade a red jersey, as well as Jack Hickson and Jack Latourette. Even the vetrans, Stott and Lonergan, may join the squad to assist by advice, if not by actual gridiron service. “Sap” Latourette will, more than like ly, be out of hte game, which will de tract from Oregon’s back field speed. Again, Oregon is, for the first time this year, to face a heavier forward line than her own. Prominent dopesters all agree that Oregon is to bump into a sturdy team before their turkey luncheon, but con cede the lemon yellow a shade the better of the paper argument. ELEVEN O’CLOCK CLASSES AT TEN WEDNESDAY All eleven o’clock classes will come at ten Wednesday, at the regular as sembly hour. Many students wish to take the noon train north, and it is to accommodate these that the faculty has dispensed with assembly and agreed to dismiss all classes for the Thanks giving recess at eleven instead of twelve Wednesday. Petitions for social functions should be tiled with Professor Glen before the first and third Wednesdays of every month. Friday evening a few friends who happened in enjoyed informal dancing at the Lambda Rho house. MR. WASHBURNE TALKS Thursday evening Mr. Chester W. Washburne, of the class of 1905, gave an address on “Fetroleum Fields,” un der the auspices of the Department of Geology. He has made a special study of this subject in connectio nwith his work with the Geological Survey, and was able to give the results of considera ble personal research work. He at tacked his subject from a professional standpoint, discussing theories for the origin and accumulation of petroleum, with pertinent illustrations from his observations in American oil fields. A number of townspeople attended the lec ture. Classes in resting for the benefit of nervous girls have been introduced in the gymnasium at Wisconsin. HAVE YOU SEEN CARL FENTON’S BRIGHT EYE? No, It Wasn’t an Agric Rooter, But Merely Ben, that Did It “Old Roman” Ben C^rout bears a dented cranium, and Carl Fenton wears a coy, Cyclopean expression as the result of a misunderstood signal. It occurred at Thursday’s practice. An end run was called. Fenton started one way just as Ben came steaming by headed in the opposite direction. The seismic instruments at Portland oscillat ed violently. It was a graphic illus tration of the old problem of the irre sistible force and the immovable body. Both were annihilated, or at least put out for the count. However, Fenton’s brilliantly variegated and enlarged eye appears to be the only serious effect. THESPIANS SELECT CAST William Beals. Will Play Lead In Clever Sketch At the Dramatic Club meeting Thurs day, the cast was chosen for a lively two-act sketch to be presented on the third Thursday in December. The six parts in the cast are to be filled by William Beals, Janet Young, Pearl Wilbur, Alma Noon, Madge Ham bell and Rachel Applegate. The sketch is short, but it is expected to be quite successful. This will be the first of a series of plays to be given during the year. There will be one heavy production at the Eugene theater on the Thursday night of Junior Week End. At this meeting, it wfas also decided to hold a tryout for the Dramatic Club for men alone on December 5. All men with any talent are urged to tryout. There are 765 women enrolled at the University of Washington. LEAGUE GETTING BUSY Freshmen Have Chosen Fenton Captain—Huggins Manager The students of the University are taking a lively interest in the new inter club and inter-class basketball leagues formed last week. So far, however, only the Freshmen have elected their captain and mana ger. At a meeting Wednesday after noon, they chose Carl Fenton for cap tain, and Chester Huggins for manager. Desppite the prospects for a star Fresh man team, the Juniors still consider themselves invincible. A prominent member of their class was heard to say, “It will be just the same walk-over for the Junior class that it has been for the past two years. All that will be heard of the other teams will be a dim and distant murmur; we are the big noise.” The games will be played under inter collegiate rules. The schedule for the inter-club league will be arranged Mon day by the committee in charge, and will be announced in these columns. The rivalry in this league is ex pected to eclipse that displayed in the baseball race for the famous Doughnut cup. Although none of the clubs or fraternities have announced the lineup of their teams, judging from the ma terial available, the strength of most of the organidations should be about equal, promising keen competition. The Gamma Delta Gammas and a few of their friends enjoyed a little informal dancing in (their new house Friday evening. BOTH FACULTIES BUSY VARSITY FACULTY IS TAK ING VOLUMINOUS TESTIMONY O. A. C. Also Testifying to Prof. Heltzel a sto Share Agrics Took In Late Unpleasantness. The investigation of Saturday's affair at Corvallis has been instituted by the University faculty committee, consisting of Professor Howe, chairman, and Pro fessors Straub and DeCou. The examination is being conducted thoroughly and systematically, with the purpose of bringing out every bit of evi dence capable of throwing any light on the affair. A large number of witnesses has been examined, in the two days the committee has been working. The pur pose of the investigation is to satisfy the faculty of the exact part taken in the fracas by Oregon students, and also to obtain testimony for a conference, which will probably occur between the committees from the two college fac ulties. Just when or where this confer ence will take place is as yet undecided. The O. A. C. faculty is conducting a similar investigation in Corvallis, with a view to throwing light on the part the Agric students took. In the ab sence at Washington of President Ken Professor Heltzel, of the College Eng lish Department, is taking testimony and has requested in the “Barometer," that all testimony be submitted. Meanwhile, the Varsity investigation goes merrily on, and Bert Prescotr, sec retary to the committee, is busy taking volumes of evidence of witnesses to the different affairs. IDAHO PLAYS CLASS FOOTBALL GAMES University of Idaho, Nov. 14—(Spe cial news letter.)—In a hard fought game, Saturday, November 1J, the Freshmen held the Sophomores to a 0 to 0 game of football. The game was played most of the time in the torn torv of the Sophomores. The plays were mostly individual, rather than team " orb. Such men as Bennett, Cray. Loux, Burns and Driscoll would be goo 1 men on a collegiate team, and •:ouM easily make the team if they would only try. Next Saturday afternoon the law stu dents will 1 i ;\ the combined reams of the Freshman and Sophomore : nrses n hard gime is expected. The law students have a ! eavj team, as well ns four or live fast men and thev r>pcct to set the underclassmen to thinking. The game promises to be very exciting and is arousing much interest amn-.g ihe students. The football program for the Oregon M. A. A. C. game this year will be published by Martin Hawkins and Ralph Newland^. While the program will be inferior to none published for Ore gon games in the past, it is the aim to offer this year’s pamphlet at a greatly reduced cost. They will be sold at ten cents per. Cuts of the Oregon team, players, manager, coaches, trainer and Glee Club yill appear; likewise the Multnomah players and team. ********* * * * Yale and Harvard played each * other to a standstill today.

He discovered, however, that, though the cast is off, and he can walk fairly well, his knee is still stiff, too stiff to permit his again participatng n the game, and lie wll not enter the Thanks giving contest. This means that either Ben Chandler or Earl Cobb, probably both alternately, will succeed to his po sition at quarterback. While in Portland. Sap officiated as usher at the wedding of his brother, Howard, who was a student here in 1903 and 1904. STARSM/irBE DEBARRED Jomison and Fenton Miy Have to Give Up Basketball Reports are around the campus that Captain Homer Jamison and Carl Fen ton will be debarred from participation in Varsity basketball this coming ;eu • son, because of having played football. I here is an old faculty ruling to the effect that no student shall take part in more than two branches of athletics, especially at the same season. This ruling has been repeatedly disregarded,, however, notably by baseball men, and the impression is that it had completely lapsed. Anyhow, it is urged basketball and football arc not active at the same time, and participation in both does not make demands upon the student’s time. The faculty athletic committee, con sisting of Professors Glen and Leon ard and Trainer Hayward, are consider ing the application of the rule in the cases of Jamison and Fenton. TEN DEBATERS BIT OUT Two Men Will Represent Ore gon at Salt Lake The first tryout for the Utah debate i was held last night in Villard Hall. Ten men were entered, six of whom were Freshmen. Although none of the debaters showed up brilliantly, the speeches of all were effective in up holding or condemning a system of pos tal savings banks. The following men are trying out J. V. Yaden, Otto Heider, Ray, and King, on the affirmative, and Motschen bacher, Spencer, Crockett, Dunlap, Zim merman, and Haugen, on the negative 1 he judges are Prof. DeCou, Dr. Gil bert and Prof. Buchen. The tryout was the first of three which will be held before the team is finally selected. The second tryout is scheduled for next Tuesday evening at 7:15, after which all but six men will be eliminated from the contest. These six will meet each other in a final de bate to be held November 29th. At this time two men will be chosen for the team which will meet the University of Utah at Salt Lake City on January 13, 1911. Week end guests of the Kappa Alpha Thetas are: Vera Redmaw, of Port I land, and Mabel Robertson, of Salem. Alberta Emerich, who has been at the Theta house, has left for her home in Medford. Miss Helen Cake is visiting at the Chi Omega house. The Lambda Rhos entertained with an informal dance Friday evening. UOFO HAS STRONGEST CHAMPIONSHIP GUI WASHINGTON WOULD NOT COUNT PUGET SOUND GAMES Oregon Has Tried to Get Game With Coach Dobie’s Men All Season, but W s Refused. Unless Washington defeats O. A. C. on 1 hanksgiving Day by a score much larger than did Oregon last Saturday, Oregon will have undisputed claim to the championship of the Northwest. Every other conference college is al ready eliminated; Whitman by defeat by both O. A. C. and Washington; O. A. C. by last Saturday's defeat; and Idaho by losing to both Oregon and Washington by a 29 to 0 score. In comparative scores, Washington has played three conference games, and Oregon two, with the average score slightly in favor of Washington. Botli defeated Idaho by the same score, but it must he remembered that Oregon de feated them on Idaho’s own field, when they were in perfect condition, while Washington met them at Seattle, and ; fter their hard fought game with Or egon only the week before. If the University of Puget Sound games are included in the comparison, as is only fair, since both colleges played the former institution, the average score is overwhelmingly Oregon's. Washing ton, however, insists that inasmuch is it was not a conference game, it should be disregarded, and Oregon's score of 114 against them, to Washington’s rec ord of 59, thrown out of the compar ison. \gain, Oregon has not been scored on, while Washington lost eight points to Whitman. In any case, if Corvallis can hold Washington down to a no score game, or even to a small score, at Se attle, Oregon will prove its case easily by comparative scores. litif even if O. A. C. loses badlv ro the Seattle University, Oregon still has the claim to the championship by Wash ington’s refusal to play Oregon. Ever since the first of the season, Coach Warner has been “ready to play Wash ington whenever they consent to meet on even terms,” but Oregon’s repeated challenges have been refused or entirely gnored by Washington. It has looked for some time as though Coach Dobie is afraid to meet Warner’s men outside of his own dear Seattle. His repeated refusals to Oregon’s challenges would indicate as much. The football managers of Harvard and Yale expect a great rush for tickets to the annual game this year. The stands will hold hut 33,000 people, and the man agers say they could sell 150,000 seats if DODSON DUCK IN DIE Ralph Dodson, ’10, who is now at tending Johns Hopkins University, has made the Varsity football team at that institution, and is playing left end. The fact that Johns Hopkins is not a con ference college, made it possible for “Doc” to play in his first year. He is pursuing a medical course. ************* * NOTICE * * Every loyal Oregon man is sum- * * moned by President Collier and Yell * * Leader Robison to be present, with- * * out fail, at the Dormitory, at 7:30 * * tonight.
