VOL. XIII. EUGENE, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1911. No. 11. OREGON LINES UP AGAINST WHITMAN ELEVEN SATURDAY VISITORS’ STRENGTH UNKNOWN BUT WARNER’S MEN PRE PARED TO FIGHT INJURIES MAY KEEP LATOURETTE OUT Big Rally Expected to Bring up Stu dent Body Interest in Impor tant Game * _ * With the coming of the Mission aries on Saturday the local fans will get their first real taste of intercol legiate football for the 1911 season. The Sons of Marcus are the dark horses in the conference. Whitman has not played a game of importance this season, nor have they given out any dope concerning the strength of their team. The Walla Walla col legians met Pendleton High School early in October and walloped the preps 57 to 0. Archie Hahn, of Mich igan, who has coached Pacific the past few seasons is handling the Mis sionary team and is hailed by Whit man students as a worthy successor of McCaa, who directed the team last year. McCaa is to be remembered as the man who came nearer defeating Dobie’s machine than any team in the last three seasons. Niles, the Whitman fullback, is generally con ceded to be the best punter in the con ference and according to reports is a second Borliske both in throwing for ward passes and carrying the ball. The Oregon squad shows up to bet ter advantage after their encounter with W. S. C. The team came out of the encounter unscathed and are in great fettle for Whitman on Satur day. With the possible exception of Latourette, who was put out with a sprained ankle in yesterday’s scrim mage, the team will line up the same as in the Pullman game. While the battle with Washington on November 18 is all-important, it is vital to the interest of the big con test that both teams come up to the scratch with clean records. It now seems highly probable that this will be the case, for Washington has dis posed of Idaho and should have no trouble in defeating Oregon Agricul tural College Saturday, while Ore gon’s victory over Washington State last Friday removed that formidable antagonist from her path. It re mains for Warner’s men to put the wily Missionaries out of misery Sat urday and thus make the setting per fect for the head-liner of the sea son’s bill. Manager Johns announces that the game will be called at 3 o’clock and the admission will be seventy-five cents with the grandstand free. The officials for Saturday’s game have been announced as follows: Ref eree, Lonergan, of Notre Dame; Um pire, Stott, of Stanford; Field Judge, Schmidt, of Notre Dame. The Whit man squad will reach Eugene Friday afternoon. The teams will probably line up on Saturday as follows: Oregon. Whitman. Kellogg .c.

The fac ulty was fortunate in securing for this work Miss Harriet Thompson, a grad uate of Michigan University. Miss Thompson was one of the finest ath letes in that University and was con sidered the best basket ball player that Michigan ever had. She served as captain of the team for four years. Aside from her gymnasium activ ities Miss Thompson has had one year in medical college and has also done research work in the govern ment laboratories in Washington, D. C. The University of Oregon is to be congratulated on finding so able an assistant. Judge Lawrence T. Harris, ’93, of Eugene, was recently mentioned for the nomination for United States sen ator from Oregon. CHINA NEEDS LIBERTY Oregon Student Believes Country In Need of Great Political Awakening. Harry Ding, ’13. a Chinese student in the University of Oregon, is an enthusiastic follower of the movement to establish progressive government in China. In an interview he said, “If China obtains her independence in ten years, she will be one of the leading nations of the globe. And no great difficulty will be encountered in establishing a republic in China, if the foreign powers keep their hands off. China, more than any other country, needs an awakening. The Chinese people were the first to become civilized and today their country is the most back ward in the world. The wonderful re sources of the country have not been developed because capitalists have feared to invest in the country where no protection or encouragement in any form, has been offered. Every Chinese citizen who has had the bene fit of modern education or associa tions with progressive people, desires the overthrow of the present decayed and crumbling government of China.” LAUREANS TAKE UP NEW ARGUMENT ON OLD LINES For the past thirty years one of the stock questions for debate in the Varsity literary societies has been the co-education problem. Once more—this time by the Laureans— the desirability of co-education in colleges wili be threshed out, at the meeting Saturday evening. In ad dition to the debate, several im promptu speeches will be delivered, and Vernon Motschenbacher will render a solo. At last week’s meeting, the ques tion of charging toll on American ships passing through the Panama Canal was debated, Otto Heider, ’14, and C. W. Dawson, '15, affirmative, losing to A. H. Davies, ’14, and L. Dinneen, ’15, by a two-to-one deci sion. Mike Stastney, ’12, and Peter Collier, ’14, made short but rousing talks. Jean Allison leaves next week for Berkeley, California, to attend the province convention of the Delta Delta Delta fraternity. Fred De Neffe, of Portland, is visit ing the Phi Gamma Delta House. Minnie Jackson is visiting at the Lambda Rho House. MAKES INITIAL BOW TO READERS EDITOR KEEPS UP HIGH STAND ARD ESTABLISHED BY' LAST YEAR’S BOOK GIFTED PENS CONTRIBUTE LITERATURE Departments of Literary, Poetry, Humor and Engineering Well Balanced. The first issue of the U. of 0. Monthly was distributed Saturday, and in keeping with the departmental plan established by Dean Collins, was made up in similar lines to last year’s publication. This issue brings the college activities up to date, as it contains articles on Commence ment, Summer School, and the Fri day Harbor jaunt after the marine animals that haunt Puget Sound. The literary department is headed by one of Dean Collins’ Miggs stories, entitled “The Trail of the Vacation Jobs.” Misses Jessie Pros ser and Esther Grissen have two human interest stories, and Earl Stannard offers a poem and “Modern Methods of Appreciation.” There is a wealth of unsigned and anonym ous articles and disconcerting “noms de plume” that would lead the gentle reader to believe that the literary efficiency of the contributors was exceeded only by their extreme mod esty. The department of poetry meets with general approval and the opin ion of the campus is unanimous in expressing itself that Bill Cass has a field in the “Who’s Who,” for which he is eminently fitted, and that the Sage of Podunk has a rare fund of humor. The Engineering Department con tains articles by Professors McAl lister and Collier, and it is noted that the printers have obtained some type that makes it possible to pub lish an Engineering story. Miss Degermark, in her editorial, outlines the plans for the year, and pays a tribute to the Freshman and to the Emerald. JIM JOHNS ANNOUNCES CONCESSION POLICY Those desiring concessions for sell ing rooters’ caps, canes, pennants, arm bands, and other supplies, at the football games this year, are request ed to see Manager Johns, on the terms to be arranged. In the past the custom of granting these conces sions has been very lax and there fore it is necessary that a stricter policy be enforced. Manager Johns has outlined his policy and Graduate Manager Geary heartily endorses it. There is noth ing to be sold inside of the football field at the Washington game except by special permission from Manager Johns. This concession will also cover the selling of rooters’ novelties in the special train to Portland. Manager Johns’ policy is to be fol lowed by Graduate Manager Geary, and it is introduced this year, so as to be in good working order next year. Mrs. A. N. Moores, Mrs. Raymond, and Miss Mooreland, have been visit ing at the Kappa Sigma House. Mr. Douglas went to Portland last week on business for the library. Harold Broughton will enter college this week. Miss Alta Mason is a visitor in Eugene. NEW PRESS CLUB TO BANQUET AT GRILL The Press Club, formed for the purpose of advertising the University, will hold its initial banquet in Otto’s Grill next Thursday evening, at 6 o’clock. This club, which is composed of those students who are in some way connected with a newspaper, has as its aim the publishing throughout the state of all college events which are of general interest. Meetings will be held at which addresses will be made by prominent newspaper men or by the members themselves. The present members of the organization ( are Chet Moores, Ralph Newland. Edw. Dorr, Wm. Lowell, Bill Main. Burns Powell, Fen Waite, Evans Houston, and Arthur Geary. The pur pose of the first meeting is the per fection of the organization and the election of officers. The admittance of Messrs. Blythe and Gregory as honorary members will also be dis cussed. In case they are admitted, they will probdble be asked to speak before the club. FROSH STARS IN FRACAS Frightened Freshman, Fleeing From the Law, Seeks Safe Refuge Beneath Bed. While defending freshman honor against the inroads of the Salem root ers last Saturday, Dutch Kaiser, the Alameda blonde, became involved in difficulties which threatened to land him in the city bastille on a charge of murderous assault. Kaiser became embroiled with the Salem lads in a quarrel over some freshman caps and was rescued from an ignominious defeat only by the op portune arrival of one of the Eugene guardians of the law. The cop grasped Kaiser firmly by the nape of the neck and started him down Wil lamette street, but when the big frosh saw the objective point of their jour ney, he wrested himself loose from his captor and betook himself to the Sigma Nu House with a charming disregard of all previous speed rec ords. Along towards midnight, the blonde crawled forth from his hiding place beneath the bed, but was promptly grabbed and treated to a cold bath. At present Kaiser is spending a large share of his waking hours in evading the enterprising cop, who affected the arrest of last Saturday. DR. SCHAFER APPOINTED TO ATHLETIC COUNCIL Doctor Joseph Schafer of the De partment of History in the University, has been appointed by President Campbell to fill the vacancy made by the loss of Professor Glen as faculty member of the Athletic Council. Doctor Schafer, while interested in athletics among the students them selves, is reported to be unfavorable to most forms of inter-collegiate ath letics as carried on at the present time by Oregon and the other colleges of the Northwest. Whether he will pursue a policy of opposing athletics, in his new capacity, is a matter of conjecture among the students. The Athletic Council is made up of the President of the University, three fac ulty, three alumni, and three student members. The duty of the council is to decide all matters of policy and questions of importance in athletics that may come before the University. Miss Rae Zimmerman leaves for Portland, Thursday, to be with her mother, who is ill. Miss Zimmerman will probably not be back this semes ter, as her mother is expecting to travel for her health. Bob Alton, ex-’ll, spent Sunday at the Sigma Nu House. FIRST SMOKER TO BE HELD FRIDAY EVENING IN GYM OREGON SPELLBINDERS TO BE GIVEN CHANCE TO WORK THEIR ART BAND AND GLEE CLUB TO BE PRESENT Men to Meet at Men's Dormitory at Eight O'clock and March to Gymnasium. The first “Smokerless” Smoker will be held next Friday night at Haywood Hall, at 8 o’clock, in preparation for the Oregon-Whitman game, Saturday afternoon. Promptley at 8 P. M. the men will meet at the Dorm and go in a body to the Gym. The Varsity band and Glee Club will be on hand to treat the audience to some real music, while, in between acts, hot dogs and cider will be dispensed to the hungry ones. “Pat” C. N. McArthur, Ben Wag goner, President of the Student Body at the Law School, and “Beauty” Robison will be on hand to instill into the uncultivated minds of the Fresh men, “and others,” what the famous “Oregon Spirit” is, and what it stands for. An elaborate program is being prepared which will include, be sides the music and refreshments, boxing and wrestling matches, cock fights, rooting by 400 men expected to be present, and spell binding contests by Oregon’s local campaign orators. It is understood that the co-eds will be allowed in the gallery to peep over the railing, closely veiled. The smokerless smoker is one place where “Bush” wants femine influence rele gated to the zero mark, but he says he has no desire to deprive ^the poor co-eds, who after all are not re sponsible for their sex, from seeing and hearing this inspiring rally, and will admit them to the place named, under the conditions stated. Theatrical Bookings. Next Wednesday, Nov. 8, at the Eugene Theatre, Henry B. Harris will present Edgar Selwyn’s success ful American comedy, “The Country Boy,” which comes here direct from five months at the Liberty Theatre, New York, and two months at Pow er’s Theatre, Chicago. The piece is in four acts and the action is of the present. The story concerns a young fellow from the country, who goes to the city to make his name and for tune, but, like many others who had preceded him, he finds that desirable positions are not so plentiful. After several disappointments he becomes discouraged to the point where he is about to take his own life, when he is brought to a realization that life in the small country town is the more preferable after all. The real charm of the play, how ever, is said to lie not so much in the plot as in the various characteriza tions or types which the author intro duces in the several scenes. The cast has not undergone a single change, and includes Alfred Cooper, Frank McCormack, Doan Borup, Frank E. Jamison, George Schaeffer, Olive Templeton, Elda Furry, Char lotte Langdon, and Nellie Fillmore. The sale of seats opens Tuesday, No vember 7. Of interest to the college people is the news of the marriage of Merle Chessman, ’09, Beta Theta Pi, to Miss Daphine Liesure. Mr. and Mrs. Chessman will make their home in Pendleton.
