PRESCOTT ANNOUNCES ANNUAL DEBATE FOB SOPHS AND FRESHMEN SILVER TROPHY CUP OFFERED TO WINNING CLASS COACH WOULD RECRUIT DEBATING RANKS Money Prize Also in Line—Question for Triangular League is Settled by Oregon. An annual Freshman-Sophomore inter-class debate !s to be inaugu rated at the University, the debate to take place in May of each year. A silver cup will be given to the win ning class each time, to be held by that class for one year. Debate Coach Robert Prescott, who made this announcement yesterday, is making an effort for the introduction of a standing prize, of from fifty to one hundred dollars, to be presented to the winning debaters. This inter-class debate will begin in May of 1913, and preparation will begin after a challenge by one of the piesent classes to the other, for a debate at this time. The method of of choosing the question has not yet been decided, but will be announced soon. The classes will choose their own representatives. Concerning this new institution, Mr. Prescott says: “This is a plan to get the students interested in de bate, and to make it as much of a student activity as football or track. We will lose all our old debaters next semester, and we must have new ma terial for subsequent years. Howard Zimmerman, Carlton Spencer, Bur leigh Cash and David Pickett will be graduated, and Peter Crockett will enter the Law School.” The money prize will probably be donated by the Oregon State Bar As sociation, while the cup, Mr. Pres cott intends to secure through pri vate subscription. Submit Wording of Question. The receipt of a telegram from the manager of debate at the University of Washington indicates that Oregon’s choice of immigration as the question for debate has been accepted. A meet ing of the Debate Council was held last evening and the following ques tion was formulated to be sent to Washington and Stanford for ratifica tion: Resolved,—That our general pol icy regulating Oriental immigration should be extended by the United States to the Slavic, Hellenic, and Ro manic taces of Southern and Eastern Europe. Since the first try-out will take place December 13, Robert Prescott, debate coach, states that all who con template entering the debate try-outs, should hand in their names to him before Wednesday noon.

Special Three “rooters” were killed in a rear end collision on the Southern Pacific line about six miles south of Albany at 1:45 Saturday afternoon. The accident was witnessed by sev eral Oregon students riding on the engine of the excursion train carrying the crowd to the O. A. C. game in Albany. Just before the special reached Tangent, three small pigs scampered onto the track and headed toward Al bany. The noise of the approaching train and a warning blast of the whis tle only succeeded in increasing their speed. The “rooters” seemed imbibed with the “Oregon Spirit” in their in tense desire to reach the scene of the great game, but the race was soon brought to an abrupt end by the cow catcher of the engine.. The accident caused a short delay while the debris was being removed from the track, and then the train proceeded on its way, with only a poor farmer to mourn the death of three “perfectly good" pigs. GEAR! EXPECTS $1800 Graduate Manager Arthur Geary went to Albany this morning to make , final settlement with the Oregon Agri cultural authorities, and William Eagles, representing the Albany mer chants, for the division of the receipts of the 0, A. C. game in Albany last Saturday. Geary expects to clear $1,800 from this game. He said this morning: “1 don’t know yet just what the Univer sity’s share of the receipts will be, but will know definitely tomorrow. Our portion will clear up the deficits of all other games of the season, and will probably leave a balance of two hundred dollars to turn into the Stu dent Body fund at the end of the sea son.” THE SAGE OF PODUNK VISITS THE CAMPUS How-do-you-do ? No, I didn’t flunk out; I accepted a position. Its customary, you know. Well, we left the Agricultural Col lege the O anyway. It is not a question of how many women at the University can vote, it’s a question of how many will acknow ledge they are twenty-one. The guy that says the world owes him a living, doesn’t make even a good collector. A fool and his money are soon part ed, but many of us are willing to be fools in order to experience the joys of parting. Some people make it evident, that if we accepted them at their own esti mation, we’d have to look at them with a smoked telescope. —Sage of Podunk, ’14. According to an investigation at Iowa, it has been found that only one out of every eleven college engage ments results in marriage. JOINT FOOTBALL OUNCE FOLLOWING OREGON II. I. A. C. MIKE ANNOUNCED BY ALUMNI The Portland alumni of the Univer sity of Oregon are making prepara tions for the annual dance to be given in honor of the football teams of the University and of the Multnomah Club, Thursday, November 28, at the Masonic Temple, West Park and Yam hill streets. The committee, consisting of C. N. McArthur, John R. Latourette, Dr. Homer I. Keeney, Lyle Brown, Mar tin Hawkins, Chester Moores, Harry Stephenson, Dr. F. J. Ziegler and El mer E. Young, urge the attendance of all University people in Portland ■luring- the holidays, on the grounds [ -•hat it will serve as a reunion for I ! ; Oregon students and alumni. Besides University students and! i lub members, the senior classes of the Portland preparatory schools have been invited to the dance, in order to foster an interest in the State In stitution. Announcement of the dance has teen withheld beacuse of the recent football controversy, which made the p'aying of the Multnomah game this i ysar uncertain. 1 0. A. G. VICTORY AND M. A. A. G.

Captain Walker ran some of ( the prettiest interference ever seen in < the Northwest, besides his stellar de fensive work and forward passing, ( and Cornell ran the team like a vet- •, man.

CONCERT HE FIXED Before leaving this morning for Portland, Manager Geary announced that the date for the Glee Club con cert had been changed to Thursday, December 17. This date is final, Geary said this morning, and arrangements will be made for this appearance of the club in Kugene. The Sophomore dance was the first conflicting date. Both attractions were scheduled for December 14. Sa turday evening, December 19, was then chosen, hut owing to the Christ mas vacation and previously booked shows at the theatre, this had to be abandoned. As the concert will now be given just before the Christmas vacation, the society turnout already promises to be brilliant, for several organiza tions are planning to occupy box seats. Professor F. S. Dunn will go to Portland to attend the annual meet ing of the Classical Association of the Pacific Northwest, of which he it president. This meeting, which it under the auspices of Reed College will be held Friday evening. Profes sor Dunn will deliver an address on “Portraitures of the Caesars from Classical Novels.” NEWS RECORD MADE The record for news in the history of the Emerald was made last week when the four issues contained alto gether 610 inches of actual reading matter, which exceeded by 65 inches any previous week’s issue. The Emerald is not in a position to put out a daily like the Daily Califor nian of the University of California, or the Daily of the University of Washington, but on a comparison of the amount of news, the Emerald computes favorably with the dailies of the larger institutions. Kl'TAXIAN SOCIETY HOLDS MONTHLY SOCIAL MEETING The monthly social meeting of the Eutaxians occurred Tuesday evening, at the Gamma Phi Beta house. '“Thanksgiving” was the subject of the evening. The program opened with a song by Mildred Wilson.

A piano solo by Agnes ; Eliott concluded the entertainment. During the remainder of the even ing the members spent a social hour in singing and dancing. Refresh ■ merits were served. C VRR1ERS REPLACED BY BIRDS OF ILL OMEN Homing' Pigeons Bearing News of Goose Eggs Not Liked hy Aggie “Stay at Homes." Wells Fargo expressman No. 2, night shift, of the Corvallis office, is the teller of one of those tales, unique and peculiar, which follow in the wake <>t things of magnitude and moment. One of the stunts of the Aggie root ers during the Oregon-O. A. C. game of last Saturday was to release from their midst, while assembled in the center of the field, a band of homing pigeons, each decorated with orange and black streamers. Following this event the Corvallis agent received a small square box bearing the label “Game—Rush,” and directed to “That 0. A. C. Yell Leader." Below was the inscription, "Take Back Your Ducks, We Can’t l sc I hem, and the curious express man could see between the cracks sev eral ducks draped and swathed in deepest mourning, with here and there a touch of orange. 1 he students at Stanford Universi ty have petitioned the faculty for a <outse in practical oratory.
