OX TO ALBANY! Save your shekels and Boost Oregon. OREGON VOL XIV. EUGENE. DGBIE WITHOUT PEER AMONG TEACHERS GF NORTHWEST FOOTBALL NEWSPAPER FORECASTS AS TO U. OF W. GAME REVERSED SEATTLE TIMES BLAMES GRAD. SYSTEM Coach Moores Disgusted—Bill Main Claims Criticisms Tend to Show Prejudice. With the Conference Schedule prac tically closed, Gilmour Dobie has again won the undisputed champion ship of the Pacific Northwest for the University of Washington, Satur day’s games decided without a doubt that Dobie has no equal, as Whitman, the only possible disputant, was elim inated by its defeat at the hands of the Oregon Agriculture College. The result of the game was a re versal of newspaper forecasts. “The defeat of my team was due to the con dotion of the field and the luck of O. A. C.,” said Coach Archie Hahn, of Whitman. “On a dry field we could defeat O. A. C. without difficulty.” Regardless of the fact that the Ag gies made two of their touchdowns on intercepted forward passes and the third on a fumble, it is evident that they have a wonderful fighting team, and a team in a class by itself, when it comes to playing in the mud. Forward Pass Effective. Washington’s victory over Oregon was expected. For three quarters Oregon was outplayed in every de partment of the game.. In the last quarter the weakness of the Gem State team was found and Oregon scored two touchdowns by use of the forward pass, running up a score of fourteen points, which is the largest score that has been tallied against Dobie’Si team in the last four years. Oregon Coaches Scored. The Seattle Times, in commenting upon the game, says: “Give Dobie a bunch of men like Oregon sent here yesterday, and there would be no catching him. The graduate coach system inaugurated at Oregon this year has produced no results worth while, for it is admitted on every hand that Oregon has as fine material this year as that university ever had, yet it has won only one game, defeat ing Idaho 3 to 0. The excuse was made that the stars were kept out the fray by injuries and conditions. Well, they were all on the battle line yesterday and showed that (hey had heen coached in the fundamentals of fctball. Oregon was badly licked yesterday because the coaches did not get the most out of the team.” Three Man Team Beaten. The Seattle P.-I. also finds fault with the Oregon team. “Washington won the game, and in so doing beat a three man team composed of Bailey. Cornell, and Fenton. The rest of the Oregon outfit was among those pres ent.” In an interview yesterday, Assist ant Coach Moores said, “Personally those articles worry me sick. I’m so afraid they will import Eastern coach es next year and spoil our old soldier’s home, that I won’t be able to sleep nights.” However, Moores was forced to smile before he could turn away. It is well known that Moores does not care to have anything to do with foot ball after this year. Squad Hurt by Post s. “I do not doubt but that Dobie could turn out a championship team with our material, for he is a wonder ful coach,” said Assistant Coach Wil liam Main. "But the Seattle papers are prejudiced. I do not think that the graduate system should be judged by the results of a single year.

E. S. CONKLIN “Christianty is a character rather than a creed,” said Dr. E. S. Conklin in his lecture Monday to the members of the Y. W. C. A. at their regular meeting at the Shack. Our characters are nothing more or “Our characters are nothing more or less than the sum of our habits. Neither become a slave to them nor so disregard them that they will not carry you through a decision. The most important thing to be gained from our college life is thought habits based on some ideal sufficiently high, which we have in the Founder of all Christianity.” The meeting was lead by Miss Ruth Beach. Miss Mildred Wilson began the program with a vocal solo. General Secretary Charles Koyl, of the University Y. M. C. A., will go to Albany Thursday in conference wuth the student secretaries of Oregon col leges. have had a poor schedule this year. The Whitman game should have been played at a later date. Besides, the posts have hit us hard.” Head Coach Louis Pinkham said, “It is not my place to defend this sys tem. It is up to the students of the University.” ARRANGEMENTS QEFINilELY MADE FOR GAME WITH A6RIGULTUBAL TEAM III ALBANY AG< I1E STUDENTS RATIFY ATHLETIC THE BOARD'S AGREEMENT—CONTRACT SIGNED BY COLl.EGE SENTAITVES LAST NIGHT IS FIRST IN TEXT ATI YE REl’RES TYVO YEARS ALBANY, Ore., Nov. 19.—(Special to the Emerald.)—The contract for the Oregon-O. A. C. football game, to be played in Albany on Saturday, was signed last night by Oregon’s man ager, Arthur Geary, and the Agricul tural college student manager, Bert. Pilkington, after a conference in the Hotel Revere between the managers, Albert Tiffany, Oregon’s student treas ure:1, E. J. Stewart, O. A. C. athletic director, Coach Dolan of Corvallis, and William Eagles, representing the Albany merchants. The contract makes no reference to any future games and merely makes positive the playing of the game in Albany this week. The Albany merchants agree to build without cost to either team bleachers to seat 10,000 persons. The total gate receipts will be divided equally between Oregon and Corval lis. The admission to this game has beer fixed at $1.50, including a seat in the bleachers, and 75 cents for stu dents of either college. Albany will be the scene of the Oregon-O. A. C. football game to be played on Saturday, November 23. This fact was decided yesterday when the Athletic Councils of both colleges gave their respective consent. This game will definitely settle the football championship of Oregon. Several weeks ago, Albany business men, represented by William Eagles of that city, saught to break the dead lock existing between the two col leges over the selection of a loca tion. Last Saturday the Corvallis authorities intimated that they would consent to a game on November 23, if Oregon would agree to play at Al bany. Consequently, to make possible an acceptance of any formal proposition from Corvallis, the Oregon Athletic Council yesterday hurriedly called a session in the office of President Campbell, and put itself upon record as favoring the campus game and of fered to play the Agricultural Col lege either in Eugene or Corvallis. Realizing, however, the importance of establishing friedly relations between the State Colleges, they decided to permit the staging of the game in Albany as a last resort. A meeting of the O. A. C. student boc y was called in the morning to take ce at noon, but when this did not nla and materialize, the that institution made the propos play the game, ly made known distance phone a ager Geary.

Says Dean of Women. The term "co-ed,” so widely used at the University of Oregon, has in curred the displeasure of Miss. Ruth Guppy, who finds in the original use of the word, a disrespect and lack of courtesy toward the college women, incompatible with the harmonious re lations existing at present between the men and women at Oregon. Miss Guppy gives the following in formation on the subject: "The word ‘co-ed,’ when first used in the Univer sities of the Middle West, was1 given as a term of derision. A ‘co-ed’ was a girl very pronounced in style. She adopted masculine customs and ways and was regarded, generally, hy her associates as harmful to the best in terests of the women students.* Miss Guppy also stated that she wo did call college women, “college women.” EMERALD EM MEETS WITH GENERAL FAVOR Professors and Students Like Idea— Manager Collier Discovers Four Bit Deficit. For the first time in the history of the University the college paper, the Emerald, got out an extra edition yesterday afternoon on account1 of the O. A. C. game. Although it was not until 2:30 in the afternoon that the editors decided that developments were far enough along to warrant the publication, the edition reached the fraternity houses before 6 o’clbck. The extra caused favorable com ment on the campus this morning. "Well, I declare,” said Professor Al len, “this is pretty good.” “ItJ shows a lot of enterprise.” said Professor Joseph Schafer, as he picked up an issue of the Emerald extra. “It is a bear,” said Mason Roberts, sporting editor of the Emerald, and Charles Koyl, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., ex pressed his feelings with ‘Pretty good, pretty good.” “I tell you, I was pretty proud of the staff,” said Co-ed Sporting Editor Nellie Hemenway, “I should ( say I was.” “Yes, I bought one dov^n town last evening,” said Mrs. Parsons, of the English department. “It was good, and it certainly showed enter prise.” “That’s fine, that is the realfthing,” said Woo Sun, and he expressed the general sentiment in regard l to the first Emerald extra. ( However, Manager Collier thought differently. “That was the fiirst one that we have lost money on,” he said, “and I hate to break the record. We went behind fifty cents on the issue.” SOPHS PLAN NEW LIGHTING EFFECTS FOR ANNUAL pANCE The Sophomore dance committee, consisting of Jessup Strang, Hazel Barta, Amy Rothchcild, Helen Hamil ton, Hazel Tooze, Clark Hawley, and Ben Dorris, met Wednesday morning in Professor Schmidt’s room, and set December 14 as the date for their an nual hop. The Sophomores have decided to get out of the regular rut and routine of class dances and present something new along all lines. The feature of the dance is going to be the new and original llighting effects. There has been nothing de finitely decided so far, except that the moonlights will be the specialties. Amy Rothchild will leave for Port land Friday, where she will make ar rangements with the florists for the decorations. Mr. Arthur HenJershott has sent East for some new; music, which he has promised to ^ave for this occasion. , COACHES AND PLAYERS DESIRE GAME DESPI1E WALKER SAYS (i AMM Will SHOW l \1 VEKSITY'S <;(>(>!> FAITH BILL HAS NO HOPES FOB VICTORY Hall, Hradshaw, and Hailey Are Laid 1 |) With Injuries Keeeived at Seattle. ‘‘Our chances are good,” says Coach I'inkham. “The team is rather badly battered after the hard Washington game, but if we have a dry field, I think we can hold them down.” Captain Dean Walker expressed the real spirit on the campus when he said: “If l knew we should be beaten, 1 should say ‘play the game.’ The team has travelled 2,300 miles this season and has just played a hard game. Three men are out with in juries. The odds are against us. But we have beaten (). A. C. against odds before this and I believe that we can do it again.” Hayward Pessimistic. Hill Hayward, Oregon’s veteran trainer, was less hopeful, but just as positive, that the Oregon men will fight the game to the last ditch. Said Bill, “I don’t say that we can beat them, but I do say, that whether we beat them or whether we don’t, we should play the game. I should rather see the game played at Corval lis or at Eugene than at Albany, but much rather at Albany than not at all. “The team is badly battered after the hard Washington game. Bailey is crippled with a charley horse and a badly sprained ankle. Bradshaw has a cracked rib and will probably be out. Hall’s shoulder is out of com mission again. The hard ground of Denny field played havoc with the team. Team at Great Disadvantage. “The fact, that we have been up in the air so long in regard to the game, has also counted against us. The team was trained up to play the Washington game as the climax of the season. Now, at the last minute, we get this game. It means that we shall have to build up the team all over again within a week. “But you may say that we will play that game, if we have to put in the second team to do it.” TIFFANY EXPECTS BIG REGISTRATION The prospects for a substantial en rollment increase next semester are Rood according to Registrar Tiffany. i He says that there is nothing definite to be ascertained, but the average sec ond semester registration is expected, I which ranges from 30 to 50 students. There have been a number of letters received, enclosing credentials which indicates an expected attendance of i students. ] Engineer’s Dance Is Arranged.
