GLEE will make first
IS SAID TO BE BEST CLUB
£VER PUT OUT BY
VARSITY
House Has Been All Sold and
Prospects Are for Most Suc
cessful Concert.
Tomorrow evening at the Eugene The
ater, the students and townspeople of
this city will be given the only oppor
tunity this year to hear the biggest and
best Glee Club that Oregon has ever had.
The Glee Club of twenty-four men is
singing as no Oregon club ever sung
before, and the Mandolin Club, under
the direction of Professor Warner, has
been augmented to twelve men and
promises to give the audience some
thing good in the way of string music.
The Glee Club is singing this year
some catchy songs of an unusual nature.
Several of the popular intermezzos of
the day, such as Amina, Wild Flower
and Amo, have been arranged espec
ially for a men’s choral club, and the
way Oregon’s bunch of songsters go at
them is enough to stir the sense of
rhythm in a stone.
A Chinese love song sung by the
whole club is another unusual, but
catchy number. “The South Wind
Blows,” a new lullaby, gives the club a
chance to show what it can do in tone
quality. In this sung, the soft moan
ing of the wind can be distinctly heard
as the twenty-four men softly hum in the
introduction.
The comedy end of the program will
be held up by the Suffragette Trio,
composed of Messrs. Curtis', Martin,
and Geisler, and a skit entitled “The
Glee Club in Dope Center,” with Tom
Burke, Melvin Ogden and Vernon Vaw
ter in the leading roles. In this act are
introduced Messrs. Curtis and Geisler,
the "Pretzel Twins,” in song and dance,
Frazier in solo, and the “Hungry Six,”
a German band, which renders several
familiar ditties in characteristic German
style.
Syracuse university has decided to
abolish rowing.
CHUCH TAYLOR AND BEN
GROUT WILL RETURN
Chuck Taylor and Ben Grout will
probably play on Oregon’s 1911 foot
ball team. Knowing that both men are
seniors, students have looked forward
to a team seriously weakened by their
loss. Each of them, however, is plan
ning to return for graduate work and
there is a good chance of seeing them
back on the gridiuron.
It may be thought strange that Tay
lor should have another year of foot
ball, but during one college year he was
unable to play because of a broken col
lar bone, and hence still has his fourth
year to play. Bill Hayward says that
Grout will certainly have the right to
play, should he come back, inasmuch
as this has been his second year on
Varsity. With the addition of these two
men, next year's team will be mater
ially strengthened.
UTAH DEBATERS CHOSEN
Ray and Zimmerman Are the
Lucky Men Selected
L. Leon Ray, ’12, and Howard Zim
merman, ’13, were chosen last night
as members of the debating team which
will meet the University of Utah at
Salt Lake City in February.
The final tryout, the last of a series
of three, was very close and interesting.
The judges deliberated nearly thirty
minutes before arriving at a decision.
Mr. Ray is a Eugene man. For two
years he has been on the Varsity debat
ing teams, and last year led the nega
tive team which defeated the Univer
sity of Washington and won tin North
west championship for Oregon.
Howard Zimmerman was Ray’s col
league last year, and gained distinction
as a cool and logical speaker. Both
men are prominent members of the Lau
rean Literary Society.
Coach Buchen is highly pleased by
the showing made by all the men in
the tryouts, especially the Freshmen.
His only regret is that more men did
not try out. A large number, however,
are expected to enter the next tryouts
for the tri-state debates, the dates for
which will be set as soon as the sub
ject for debate is selected.
LOU PINKHAM PICKS AN
ALL-NORTHWEST TEAM
FOUR OREGON MEN ARE
GIVEN POSITIONS
IN LINEUP
Bailey and Grout are Best Guards
—Taylor and Main are Half
backs.
I he Oregon Emerald prints an All
Northwest football team as picked by
Louis Pinkham, assistant coach for the
Varsity team, an All-Northwest tackle
for three years, and a player thoroughly
familiar with college football in the
West.
I
His team is as follows: Ends, Grimm,
of Washington, and Huntley of O. A.
C.; tackles, Laird of Washington and
Eakin of Washington; guards, Bailey
and Grout of Oregon; center, Harper,
of W. S. C.; Quarterback, Coyl, of
Washington; Halfbacks, Taylor and
Main, of Oregon; Fullback, Cox, of
Whitman.
Pinkh'am says of these men: “Grimm
played in only one game, that with W.
S. C., but was the bright star of the
game. Laird I consider the best de
fense tackle in the West today. Bailey
is somewhat inexperienced as a tackle,
but outshines >all the guards except
Grout, of Oregon, therefore I give these
two men the guards’ positions. Harper
is a good all around defensive center
in the Northwest, and is the most con
sistent passer. Kellogg is the best de
fensive center, but his record in passing
is below Harper’s. Grout is the best
guard for this all-star team.”
***********
* At a class meeting this afternoon, *
* the Sophomore class rejected the *
* report of its dance committee, which *
* declared for an indefinite postpone- *
* ment of the hop. After some inter- *
* esting discusiion, it was decided to *
* hold the dance next Friday even- *
* ing, as previously planned. *

The box window at the Eugene The
ater opened this morning, and seats have
been selling rapidly, indicating a big at
tendance at the initial concert.
COACH WARNER WILL
RETURN FOR 1911 SEASON
1 rainer Bill Hayward now has in his
possession a signed contract with Mr.
Warner to act in the capacity of coach
for the 1911 football season.
Mr. Warner, as football coach, has
made good in the eyes of the Athletic
Council, has won the hearts of the foot
ball men, and elicited the enthusiastic
support of the student body.
Accordingly, when the committee on
applications recommended to the council
the name of Mr. Warner for football
coach, he was unhesitatingly accepted.
The consideration is rumored to be
about $1,500.00.
Bill Hayward, when asked for com
ment on the success of Mr. Warner’s
“system,” paid unconscious tribute to his
ability, when he answered: “There is
no ‘system’ in football; it’s all football,
and the coach with the head work
makes good. Coach Warner has made
good.”

10 PUBLISH DIRECTORY
Emerald Management Will Put
Out Information Book
The Emerald management is busy ar
ranging to publish a college directory.
These directories are a regular pub
lication in most colleges, and are of
inestimable value in locating students.
The book will contain the home ad
dresses, college residences, and telephone j
numbers of all the students and faculty.
It will also include the names and ad
dresses of the various student officers.
The executive committee has author
ized the publication of the directory
by the Emerald, and Mr. Dobie is now
only waiting for favorable action by |
the Eugene Merchants’ Protective As
sociation.
The directory will be out by Janu
ary and will be put free of charge in
the hands of every student. Above
500 copies will be distributed. I
Professor btraub Entertains
Eleven students who remained in Eu
gene during the holidays enjoyed
Thanksgiving dinner with Frofessor:

to go home in the short Thanksgiving
recess.

ALL AUTHORITIES AGREE
ON TAYLOR AND BAILEY
WASHINGTON GETS LION’S
SHARE OF NORTHWEST
SELECTIONS
All-Star Teams Are Now Being
Made Out. Poor Schedule Shuts
Out Other Oregon Men.
With the conclusion of the football
season in the Northwest, interest now
centers about the selection of the all
star team as judged by the various
coaches. As yet Coach Dobie, of Wash
ington, is the only one who has ren
dered an opinion, but there can be but
little disagreement with his choice. W.
J. Petrain, sporting editor of the Ore
gonian, has also selected a team, and
it is this team which excites the great
est interest, as Petrain succeeds Pat
McArthur in picking the official team
which will be published in Walter
Camp’s Guide Book.
It is probably due to the fact that
Oregon’s scedule did not include enough
important games to give a fair idea of
the individual abilities of her players,
that only two or three men are men
tioned by either writer.
Editor Petrain selects the following
men as the first All-Northwest team:
Ends—Huntley, O. A. C., Tholrnton,
U. I.; Tackles—Eakins, U. W., Bailey,
U. O.; Guards—F'. Grimm, U. W.,
Laird, W. S. C.; Center—Harter, W. S.
C.; Halfbacks—Cox, Whitman College,
Taylor, U. O.; Fullback—Keck, O. A. C.
Quarter—Coyle. U. W.
Coach Dobie picks for a representative
team: Ends—W. Grimm, U. W., Hunt
ley, O. A. C.; Tackles—H. Grimm and
Eakins, U. W.; Guards—Laird, W. S.
C„ Bailey, U. O.; Center—Dunn, O. A.
C.; Halfbacks—Cox, Whitman, Taylor,
U. O.; Fullback—Niles, Whitman; Quar
ter—Coyle, U. W.
All tlie conference colleges are repre
sented on Petrain’s team, Washington
leading with three men, Oregon, O. A.
C. and W. S. C. tied for second place
with two men each, and Idaho and Whit
man each contributing one.
Huntley, O. A. C., end; Eakins, U. W.,
tackle; Bailey, U. O., tackle or guard;
Laird, W. S. C., guard; Cox, Whitman,
and Taylor, U. 0„ halves; and Coyle,
U. W., quarterback; were picked by
both men and will probably be picked
by all others.
Captain Chuck Taylor is playing his
third season on the team, and though a
Senior, he is planning to take post grad
uate work, so will be eligible next year.
Taylor prepared for college at Hill Mil
itary Academy, where he made all-star
interschofastic halfback for four years
and led bis team for two years. Chuck
is an all-around athlete and captain-elect
of the Varsity baseball team. This is
bis second year as All-Northwest half
back.
Edward “Fat” Bailey, Oregon’s sec
ond man on the team, and a man who
also was chosen on both teams, is a
Sophomore and playing his second year
on the team. Weighing in at 230 pounds
or thereabouts, he handles himself so
well that he is feared through his abil
ity to break through and nail the back
field before the play is well started.
It is conceded that Oregon’s poor
schedule, which prevented the players
showing to the best advantage, kept such
recognized stars as Latourette, Main,
Grout and others from All-Northwest
positions.
Columbia University has made ar
rangements for an exchange of profes
j sors with the University of Paris.
