EUGENE, OREGON, WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 29. 1911.
No. 18
OREGON LEAVES FOR
THANKSGIVING TILT
WITH CLUB ELEVEN
GAME WILL CLOSE SEASON FOR
UNIVERSITY—FOUR SENIORS
IN LAST GAME
ADVANTAGES ON SIDE OF MULTNOMAH
Out of Sixteen Games M. A. A. C. Has
Won Ten and Tied Two—Oregon
Wins Four.
The Oregon team, accompanied by
Manager Johns, Assistant Manager
Roberts, Coach Warner, and Assistant
Coach Hunt, left for Portland on the
noon train today, for the big Thanks
giving day game with Multnomah.
Besides the eleven men who will be se
lected for the first line up, seven of
the hard working substitutes were
chosen to make the trip. The per
sonal of the squad is as follows: Kel
logg and Canfield, centers; Fariss,
Grout and Fenton, guards; Hall, Bai
ley and Hawkins, tackles; Bradshaw,
Michael and Annusen, ends; Walker,
Main, Heusner and Briedwell, halves;
Latourette and Cockerline, quarters;
Kiser, fullback. Trainer Hayward left
for Portland last night to arrange for
the accommodations for the squad.
The Thanksgiving- game closes the
season for Oregon, and every player
realizes that to humble the haughty
clubmen would throw a bright gleam
of success over what would otherwise
be an unfortunate epoch in Varsity
athletics. Every man on the U. of 0.
team will enter the contest with a de
termination to do or die. For four of
Oregon’s football heroes, the M. A. A.
C. game tomorrow will represent their
last appearance in college football.
These senior members are Captain
Main, Sap Latourette, Bob Kellogg,
and Graham Michael.
Multnomah will clearly have the
advantage when the whistle blows for
the initial kick off tomorrow after
noon; in weight the two elevens are
about equal, but in the kicking de
partment and in line plunging the
clubmen clearly excell. Against this
advantage, however, Oregon will
equal up by superior ability to run in
puts, greater speed, and superior
training. The Varsity players • will
face an eleven of individual stars, in
stead of a smooth running machine
with perfect team work, as the invinc
ible Washington eleven proved to be
in the game on the 18th.
According to the assertion of auth
orities of the game Oregon will send
a stronger and faster team into the
M. A. A. C. game, than the eleven
which met Washington. With Michael
and Bradshaw at ends, these points
of attack are expected to prove in
vincible to the Multnomah ground
gainers.
The game will be witnessed by a
crowd which is expected to number
8,000 people. A big delegation of
Varsity supporters will be on hand
to cheer the Oregon team.
In the past sixteen games played by
Multnomah and Oregon, the club has
won ten games, two were ties, and
four won by the University.
Harry L. Rafferty, ’07, manager of
Oregon’s baseball team in his Senior
year, is now a practicing lawyer in the
Fenton building, Portland.
Miss Miriam Van Waters, ’08, who
was “Mrs. Winthrop” in the Senior
play “The Rivals” in 1908, is now a
Fellow in Clark University.
Omar M. Bittner, ’07, is teaching
mathematics in Washington High
School.
Trainer “Bill” Hayward.
The first assembly after Thanksgiv
ing holidays will be Sophomore Class
Hour, which promises to have some
thing new and clever.
December 9 is the date set for the
Sophomore hop.
YOUNG PIANIST SCORES
David Campbell Pleases Large Aud
ience in First Public
Recital.
Probably the largest audience ever
assembled in Villard to hear a recital,
bowed in appreciation to Mr. David
Campbell last night at the close of his
first public recital since his return
from Europe.
Only those who knew Mr. Camp
bell before his trip abroad can realize
the extent of his improvement. From
a talented boy, enthusiastic, bomb
astic, bold in interpretion, comes, in
a period of two years an artist, ma
ture in conception, clean and thorough
in technique, and polished in detail—
the stamp of a master written all
over his playing.
The first number, a prelude and
fugue in C sharp major, by Bach,
exibited extraordinary ability in
staccato playing and in technique.
His rendition of Beethoven’s famous
Moonlight sonata was beautiful. The
first movement, slow and calm, was
shaded in a masterly manner, as was
the second allegro movement. The
third movement, an agitato, exhibited
the player’s clean technique and
power.
Mr. Campbells heaviest number
was Schumann’s Carnival—a work
depicting most completely the music
and scenes found at an European
carnival. This was a number to
listen to with knit brows, so rapid
and numerous were the characteriza
tions. Mr. Campbell had ample op
portunity to show his critics tne en
tire range of his playing in this num
ber and it might be added, acquitted
himself most creditably.
Two etudes by Paganini-Liszt
closed the program proper, but the
enthusiastic audience forced the
young performer back for an encore,
to which he responded with a bright
and pretty waltz by Schumann.

The Engineering Club will not meet

GAPT. JAMISON SAYS
BASKETBALL TEAM
WILL BE STRONG ONE
MEN ALL BACK THIS YEAR BUT
ONE—MUCH MATERIAL IN
THE FRESHMAN CLASS
BILL HAYWARD WILL COACH THE TEAM
Practice to Begin Next Week—Team
May go to California During the
Spring Holidays.
“Basketball prospects are exceed
ingly bright this year,” said Capt.
Jamison yesterday. “We have all
but one of the old men back and with
a promising bunch of new material in
the Freshman class, our team will be
as strong, if not stronger, than last
year.”
Washington won the Northwest
championship last year from Oregon
by the narrow margin of one game.
This year’s schedule will include all
the Northwest conference colleges ex
cept 0. A. C.; games have also been
scheduled with the Multnomah Club.
Manager Geary is endeavoring to ar
range a trip to California during the
Christmas holidays. If he is suc
cessful the team will meet all the
leading organizations of that state
and will get some rigorous practice
for the conference.games in Jan
uary.
“Bill” Hayward has consented to
coach the team again this year and
intends to start regular practice next
week.
The interfrat and class games,
which were inaugurated last year,
will be started early in January. The
schedule will not be as long as last
year and the champion in both series
will probably be determined by a
process of elimination. The Juniors
hold the college class championship,
while the Sigma Nu fraternity won
the inter-frat championship.
Will Speak at the Classical Associa
tion Meeting in Seattle Next
Month
The Classical Association of the Pa
cific Northwest, of which Prof. Dunn
of the University is secretary, will
hold its second annual session, dur
ing the Christmas holidays, in Seat
tle. In the absence of the president,
Prof. Louis F. Anderson, of Whitman,
and the vice-president, Prof. David
Thomson, of Washington, Prof. Dunn
has been asked to deliver the annual
address. Prof. Dunn has not as yet
definitely chosen his subject, but it
will probably deal with the deification
of Caesar.
The Classical Association of the
Pacific Northwest is composed of
teachers of Latin in the High Schools
and Universities. The membership is
not entirely limited to pedagogues, as
anyone who is interested in the class
ics may join.
At present the Association is con
fined to Oregon and Washington, but
there is a possibility that the terri
tory may be widened to include the
state of Idaho.
Professor Sweetser has discontinued
his course on “The American of To
morrow” until after the Thanksgiv
ing holidays.
The Henry George Association will
next convene on Dec. 13.
Capt. “Bill” Main.
SOPHS’ PLANS SECRET
Underclassmen Will Hold Annual
Party in Gymnasium on
December 9.
The first formal dance of the sea
son will take place Saturday evening,
December 9, when the Sophomores
will entertain the students and fac
ulty of the University at there annual
dance in the Men’s Gymnasium.
The chairman of the committee,
Harry Vierick, announces that the
whole affair will prove a grand sur
prise to the guests, since the plans
are novel and extremely different from
those of any dance which has ever
been given here.
For one thing the long established
custom of “supper dances” has been
cast aside, but with the promise of
some superior substitute.
Hendershott’s splendid orchestra
will furnish the music, which has been
carefully selected from the latest pop
ular songs by Eleanor McClaine,
chairman of the music committee.
Delbert Stannard, with his cohorts,
will see that the floor is in perfect
condition. The refreshments are be
ing planned by Wallace Benson, the
programs by Rose Basler. The plans
for the decorations will be formulated
and carried out by Esther Carson and
Neal Kendall. Miss Carson will also
make the selection of the patronesses.
The chairman is very emphatic in his
announcement that the grand march
will begin promptly at 8:15.
Dorm Club Invests.
The Dorm Club has been relieved at
last of the monotonous strains of
“Mandy Lane,” “Dixie land” etc. The
music committee has opened its heart
and invested .$36. in the latest musical
selections. About two dozen of the
most popular pieces, consisting of se
lections from Sousa, operatic selec
tions, popular airs, and dance music,
have been ordered. The boys of the
club will certainly appreciate the new
music.
Professor Dunn’s lecture on the
Abbey pictures in the Boston Public
Library on “The Quest for the Holy
Grail,” has been postponed indefin
itely.
WASHINGTON DAILY
TAKES FALLOUT OF
OUR PAT M'ARTHUR
SAYS HE WILL FAVOR LATOUR
ETTE FOR QUARTERBACK
OVER WEE COYLE
CALLS HIS PAST CHOICE OF TEAM JOKE
Neglected to Look in Spaulding's
Guide for 1911 for Authors of
Teams
The Washington Daily is backing
“Wee” Coyle for the position of all
Northwest quarterback this season.
Not knowing that McArthur did not
choose a team last year, or that he
will not choose one this year, and
fearing that Coyle will lose to Ore
gon’s great quarter, that paper goes
at McArthur in the following man
ner:
“It will not be very long before
critics select the All’Northwest foot
ball team. Football followers who
have seen a few teams in action will
seriously point out the faults of some
players and merits of others. After
a comparison of scores, of weights
and previous experiences, and a care
ful persual of the newspapers telling
of the games, the critics will choose
the teams.
Down in Oregon, there is a man
named McArthur, who picks the All
Northwest teams for Spalding’s Foot
ball Guide, which is supposed to be
the last word on such gridiron mat
ters. McArthur’s selections have
been a joke for three years, and the
sporting writers generally come
nearer choosing a team of merit from
the conference than the Eugene
critic.
This year McArthur must choose
an All-Northwest quarterback. Mc
Arthur is very fond of Latourette,
the Oregon pivot. No doubt he will
pass up Will Coyle and give the place
to the Eugene player. Of the two
men there can be no question of
Coyle’s all-around superiority this
season. Coyle should be chosen, not
only as quarterback, but as captain of
the star eleven.
Coyle, Mucklestone and Grimm are,
beyond doubt, All-Northwest ma
terial. If McArthur leaves one of
these men off the all-star team of his,
a word of protest from football fol
lowers should be voiced with the man
who compiles the Spalding Guide.
McArthur has outlived his useful
ness. In football matters he is be
hind the times.”
WOMEN’S COUNCIL CONSIDERS
ADOPTION OF HONOR SYSTEM
The Women’s Council is at present
taking under advisement the plan of
fostering the introduction of the hon
or system at Oregon. Under this sys
tem the students are placed upon
their honor in quizzes and examina
tions. Reports which the Women’s
Council has received from colleges
and universities where the system has
been put into practice, show success
ful results. Berkeley, Wisconsin and
Princeton are among the colleges
heard from. The honor system is a
step toward self government, by
which matters of student legislation
and discipline are intrusted to the
students themselves, without the di
rect supervision of the faculty. At
some future student body meeting,
the honor system will be proposed in
order to ascertain the attitude of the
students toward it.
