VOL. XIV. EUGENE, OREGON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1912. No. 8 ■ 1 ■ ■ STUDENTS PETITION FACULTY FOR 0. A. C. GAME AT CORVALLIS NOVEMBER TWENTY-THIRD IS DATE FOR POSSIBLE CONTEST WITH AGGIES COACHES AND PLAYERS WANT GAME Sentiment on Campus is far Conces sion, Although Game Should be Here. Henry Fowler, backed by the alumni coaches, a number of prominent stu dents, Trainer Hayward, and Grad uate Manager Geary, is circulating a petition among the students asking for permission from the faculty to schedule a football game with the Agricultural College at Corvallis on November 23. The Agricultural Col lege should bring its eleven to Eu gene this year, but have been favoring the scheduling of the game in Port land. The faculty of the University instructed Manager Geary last April, when athletic relations were renewed, that an extra game could be added to Oregon’s schedule, which already con tained the full number of games gen erally allowed, only if it were played on the home campus. Manager Pil kington, of the Agricultural College, refused to sign a contract of this na ture at that time, and there has been a deadlock over the game since. Faculty Objections Now Invalid. “The Oregon team will travel 2,600 miles this fall in making the four trips that its schedule calls for,” said Carlton Spencer, President of the Stu dent Body, this morning. “Accordingly, the Faculty’s refusal to allow an additional trip to Portland seemed reasonable, especially consid ering that the date of the proposed game with the Agricultural College comes just five days before the Thanksgiving recess, when a majority of the students will be in Portland. The inference of the faculty was that many of the students would skip classes for the few days intervening and badly demoralize the college work. “The same arguments that set the Faculty against the playing of the game in Portland, do not stand against the proposal to stage the game at Corvallis. The team and the students can go to and from Corvallis in the same day. The railroad fare will not be a burden upon the indi vidual students. Also there will no incentive for the skipping of classes.” Walker Favors Sportmanship. Captain Walker says: “It is our turn to have the game, but if the se lection of Eugene is going to prevent the game being played, I think that the University would show good sportsmanship in allowing Corvallis to have it.” “Harmonious relations between the two student bodies should not be in terfered with by such a trivial matter as where the game is to be played this vear. If the game goes to Corvallis, it will be our turn to choose the loca tion next year. I hope that the fac ulty will grant the petition.” Gordon Moores, assistant football coach, says: “The alumni of the Uni versity become the best of friends with the graduates of the Agricultural College when out of college. I have played along side of them on the Multnomah team, and find them good sports. The student body that shows itself to be the more anxious for har FRIARS ELECT HOWARD ZIMMERMAN VERNON H.

The Tri-state Debating League prom ises to announce the subject for the next contest by October 15. Oregon will submit the topic of Im migration; those to be contributed by the other colleges concerned, have not yet been reported. The specific wording of the propo sition will be decided upon as soon as a vote has been taken among those in stitutions. The question under dis cussion in the Triangular debate with Stanford and Washington, will also be employed in the forensic strife with Utah, the side of the argument to be chosen by that college. Oregon has arranged an extensive system of tryouts, so planned that the final team of four to six men will be chosen by Christmas vacation. Among those who have signified their intention of trying out, are such pio neers as Crockatt, Pickett, Spencer, and Zimmerman. Collier, Hardesty, and Fee, will also participate in the qualifying preliminaries. Miss Ruth Davis is now wearing a Mu Phi Epsilon pledge pin.

USUME play A Greek play, “Clouds of Aristoph anes,” will be presented by Professor A. R. Reddie’s class in Dramatic In terpretation, on November 15. The play is a comedy and will be the first of a series of historical plays to be presented this year by Professor Red die. The cast has not yet been selected, but by next week, rehearsals will be under way. Appropriate costimes will be worn, and the play, though of an educational nature, is promised to be entertaining. mony will gain recognition as being the broader minded.” Trainer Hayward is greatly in fa vor of the game and states: “The main thing is to have the game ] played. Newspaper squabbles should be avoided at all hazards, and all disputes amicably settled on the grid 1 iron.” ECONOMIC STUDENTS WILL AID GOVERNOR IN NEW LEGISLATION SENIOR RESEARCH WILL FUR NISH DATA REQUIRED BY GOVERNOR WEST MEASURES WILL EMBODY RESULTS Good Roads, Budget System, Power Development, Are Among Sub jects Considered. Through the aid of the Senior re search work in the Department of Economics of the University, Gover nor West will be guided in the forma tion of certain legislative measures to be presented by him at the next ses sion of the legislature. Governor West’s plan is to apply economic research to questions of a political and developmental nature that will be embodied in measures that he intends to submit to the next session of the legislature. Data will be secured concerning the right policy in regard to payment of county officials, and the formation of state budgets, as has recently been adopted in Wisconsin. Other questions that will be invest igated are th constant maintenance of good roads, and the comprehensive development of power resources un der the direction of the state. Governor West will be aided in his plan to adjust the political organiza tion of school districts, city, county and state governments to present day needs through the work of the eco- j nomic research students. Wednesday afternoon, Governor West will meet with the head of the economics department to outline his collaboration. FROSH GET ACQUAINTED Sophomores Aid in Introduction and Advise Infants as to Their Conduct. Freshmen, long and lean, Freshmen, short and fat, Freshmen, long anil fat, Freshmen, short and lean—all gathered at the Delta Delta Delta house, Friday evening, to become ac- j juainted with each other. They came i in ones, twos and threes; timid groups of co-eds; jaunty bare-headedj groups of Frosh, who were escorted from the corner to the door by the ever-vigilant Sophomore reception committee, which allowed none of the wearers of the green to conceal their “badges of shame” in the depths of an inside pocket. The evening was spent in dancing and singing, after which punch was served to all, including the attendant Sophomore reception committee, which waited gallantly to escort the timid ones home and to see that all the boys were provided with caps. The patrons and patronesses for the evening were: Professor and Mrs. John Straub, Mrs. P. L. Campbell, Miss Ruth Guppy, Mrs. Pennell, Mrs. Parsons, and Miss Bonisteel. Mr. Rockbridge, a Fiji from Wis consin, is a guest at the Phi Gama house. Arthur Van Dusen, ’09, has left for Chicago to enter Northwestern Uni versity. BILL MAIN Football Captain, 1911. Assistant Coach, 1912. EUGENE HOLDS FROSH Ross and Vickers Star for Eugene— “Freshmen Good in Spots,” Says Hayward. (By Jimmie Roberts) Football fans were given an oppor tunity to see the new rules tried out this afternoon, when the Freshmen I downed Eugene High School 10 to 0. The game was devoid of any sensa tions outside of Cornell’s pretty run through a broken field and tho con sistent ground gaining of Ross, the former Wenatchee star, who did yoe man service for the prep team. The game failed to unearth any particularly brilliant stars among the ! Freshmen, but it showed the coaches and football fans that the class has a wealth of raw material of varsity calibre. The heavy Freshman line showed up well under fire and opened good holes for the backs. If today’s game nuiy be taken as a critirion for the new rules, it shows that the lighter team still has an even chance. The Freshman outweighed the Eugene team, who were slightly at a disadvantage on this account. The one touchdown scored by the Ore gon “Babes,” was the result of su perior weight and the ability of the i babes to average up their two and ! one-half yards per down. Bill Hayward voiced his opinion that the Frosh team was good in some spots and poor in others, which summarizes the team’s play this af ternoon about as correctly as possible. Both teams failed repeatedly with the forward pass and left the ground gaining to straight football.

Miss Sophia Catlin has returned j to her home in Salem, after a visit at the Gamma Phi Beta house. Professor and Mrs. Reddie were guests at the Mu Phi Epsilon house for dinner, Friday.
