CONFERENCE HELD
IN SEATTLE ON
DECEMBER 21-22
REPRESENTATIVES OF COL
LEGES MUST ACT UPON
IMPORTANT MATTERS
DRAW UP 1913 ATHLETIC SCHEDULES
Summer Daseball and Division of
Conference Expected to Involve
Difficulty.
The annual Pacific Northwest Col
lege Conference between representa
tives of the six conference colleges is
to be held in Seattle on December 21
and 22. The conference was origin
ally scheduled for Walla Walla, but a
general demand was made that it be
held in a larger city. Yesterday,
upon receiving the assent by wire
from all of the colleges, Secretary
Geoige Hug officially announced the
change to Seattle and fixed the date.
Oregon’s representatives have not yet
been chosen. The Athletic Council
meets to do so within the next few
days. One of the two will doubtless
ly be Hayward, and the other prob
ably Geary.
Among the questions to be set
tled at this conference is that of
summer baseball. For several years
a demand has grown that a college
man be allowed to play baseball and
be paid for his services during the
summer vacation, yet still be eligible
for college athletics. At present a
man must not only play without re
muneration, but must first gain per
mission to play from his faculty.j In
the Middle West the more liberal at
titude is taken ,on the ground that if
a man has ability for baseball, he has
the same right to earn his summer
money in this manner as in any other.
The present lule requiring permis
sion from his faculty is generally
disregarded and should be either re
moved or enforced.
Another rule that is. now but half
heartedly enforced is that requiring
the colleges to send out certified lists
of their players before contests. This
was made with the intent that the op
posing colleges would have a chance
to investigate the records of doubt
ful men in advance. Several of the
colleges have utterly disregarded
this. 0. A. C. has been one of the
worst offenders in this respect.
A matter of special interest to O.
A. C. will be the effort to place the
Carlisle and Haskell Indian Schools
upon the list of regularly accredited
colleges from the athletic standpoint.
At present their men are treated in

NEW ROSE Bl'SHES ARE
PLANTED IN CAMPUS BEDS
Frau Karl and Caroline Testout Are
Varieties Substituted for
Destroyed Vines.
Frau Karl and Caroline Testout
roses have been planted in the beds
bordering: the walks around the east
entrance of Villard Hall, in place of
the La France variety which have
recently been dug up.
The newly planted roots that are
of the two-year-old class, are, ac
cording to Superintendent of
Grounds H. M. Fisher, of the best
quality and will make a rapid
growth. The old bushes were de
stroyed with the exception of a few
twigs given to some of the students
and houses for replanting.
Old age and a desire for variety
led to the change in the floral cam
pus decorations.
The class of 1912 at Princeton will
raise $20,000 for a class memorial.
The contributions will not be asked
for until 1922. It will therefore be
necessary for the class to raise $2,000
a year. The first collection will be
made the middle of January.
VISITMLEK
INSPECT UNIVERSITY
Open House Is Held for Y. M. C. A.
Boys—Banquet Given Guests
in Gym.
Two hundred visiting delegates to
the Seventh Annual Oregon Boys’
Conference inspected the University
of Oregon campus this afternoon, un
der the guidance of the University
officials and professors. All class
rooms were open and laboratories
running. Even the Library resem
bled the usual between-period crush.
In the absence of the regular
'•lasses, the teaching force of the in
stitution explained to the visitors
from all over the state, the schedules,
class work, and routine of the col
lege life. The mechanical, electrical,
and biological laboratories were of
special interest to the boys.
After the two hour’s inspection of
the grounds and buildings, the young
men were taken to the gymnasium,
where the University entertained its
guests with a banquet.
E. E. DeCou acted as toastmaster,
and called upon several of the dele
gates and guests for short addresses.
During the banquet copies of the
Emerald are to be distributed to the
banqueters.
This conference, which has in
cluded addresses by the leading re
ligious workers of the Northwest,
has been in charge of Harold Dalzell,
University of Oregon, TO, who is in
charge of the Y. M. C. A. Boy’s
Work of the Northwest.
HYPOTHETICAL NORTHWEST FOOTBALL SQUADS
NOW THE RAGE. EMERALD, TOO, HAS A TEAM
With the close of football reason,
post mortems and all-Northwest
teams are quite the rage. Every pa
per that boasts a sporting editor, has
its team, and not to be out done, the
Emeiald, too, has a Northwest paper

to be about the first paper to appear
with such a team this year. There is
satisfaction in having one’s judge

Coast, to likewise build a hypotheti

MULTNOMAH'S PLUNGING IOO MUCH FOR
OREGON’S OPEN SHOE, SPEEDY FOOTBALL
CLUB TEAM SCORES THREE TOUCH DOWNS TO OREHOVS ONE,
BUT GAME SPECTACULAR AND FULL OF THRILLS; FOR
WARD PASS PUZZLING TO
CLUBMEN
PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 30.—Mult
nomah made three touchdowns on
straight football in the annual Thanks
giving game on Multnomah field
Thursday, while Oregon was making
one. and captured the most spectac
ular game ever played between the
traditional rivals, 20 to 7. Oregon’s
touchdowns followed the most sensa
tional forward passing seen on Mult
nomah field since 1908, when the fa
mous “Idaho spread” was introduced
by the Gem State University.
After the first quarter developed
the fact that Oregon was no match
for Multnomah on straight football,
the collegians resorted to forward
passing entirely, making no attempt
to conceal their purpose and the
winged M bunch was almost com
nlctely baffled. Standing coolly be
hind the line big Fenton would hurl
the ball to the right or left of him
with amazing speed, and had the re
ceivers been able to handle them
with the accuracy of the last half,
the score might have been somewhat
different. It was the same puzzling
style of play that fooled the north
western champions, \ne University of
Washington, and gave Oregon two
touchdowns in the last quarter at
Seattle a few weeks ago.
Most of the luck of the game was
with Multnomah and Oregon misplays
gave them a chance to score at least
two of their touchdowns. Multno
mah’s heavy and experienced backfield
made yardage time after time on the
students and when they held, the
strong legs of Clarke or Wolffe would
punt the ball far down the field. Fen
ton was not up to his usual punting
form, and got few long spirals away
for 45 or 50 yards.
Fenton’s forward passing was, of
course, the big feature for Oregon,
but the returning of punts of Cornell
and the great defensive playing of
Parsons and Bailey stood out. Par
sons made a number of gains on
cross tackle bucks, but he was un
able to show to his best ability on
straight football, owing to the open
play adopted later in the game by |
Oregon. When Fenton began passing
almost exclusively to Parsons and
Cornell, the best work of the students
ptood out. It. was Fenton’s pass to
Cornell late in the third quarter that
gave Oregon the lone touchdown.
Hall put up a nice game at left end
for Oregon and Canfield, with one or
two exceptions, did some mighty good
passing, especially when Fenton
worked in the open play.
Once during the final quarter Ore
gon secured possession of the ball,
and by forward passing worked it
nearly the length of the field, when
unfortunately for the vistors, Clarke
intercepted a pass on Multnomah’s 15
yard line and then began a football
retaliation. On straight football the
clubmen moved more than 55 yards
and then after losing the ball once,
began another march, aided by a 15
yard penalty when Oregon made an
illegal change of players, Bradshaw
returning to the game in the middle
of a quarter. When time was called,
Multnomah had the ball within Ore
gon’s five yard line.
A poor back pass by Center Cau
field was responsible for Multnomah’s
first touchdown, which was scored on
the first down in the second quarter
by Dudley Clarke. With the fake
punt formation Fenton signalled for
the ball and Caufield’s pass was
wide. Callicrate’s speed enabled him
to recover the ball on the 12-yard
line, although Fenton made a dive for
the pigskin. Clarke, Wolff and Rine
hart carried the ball to the one-foot
line in five downs and time for the
first quarter was called. Oregon’s
line was holding desperately during
the last minutes of play and in the
last three downs, Multnomah made
but three yards. On the first down
in the scond quarter, Clarke carried
the ball over the line and Wolff con
verted, making the score Multnomah
7 and Oregon 0.
The clubmen’s second touchdown
was scored in the same period. After
an exchange of punts, which gained
10 yards for the club, Multnomah put
the ball in scrimmage on the 18-yard
line. On the first down, Rinehart on

STUDENT IN TROUBLE
“Dutch” Young Faces Charges—
Laureans Will try Case Next
Tuesday Night.
Charged with permitting libeleous
and slanderous matter to be printed
in the Emerald, City Editor Harold
1 oung, will be brought before the
bar of justice next luesday evening
at the annual mock trial to be held
by the Laurean Literary Society.
When interviewed, Prosecuting At
torney Alfred Collier and James
Donald, acting for the Laureans,
claimed that enough evidence has
been secured to send him “over the
road.” Fred Hardesty and Carlyle
Geisl,er have been offered a large
letainer in fee to defend the alleged
criminal. David Pickett, president of
the Laureans, will preside as judge.
LIGHTS ARE INSTALLED
ON VARSITY CAMPUS
Sixty candle power Tungsten lamps
have been installed at the north en
trance of Villard Hall and over the
arch at the west entrance of Deady
Hall.
These two doorways have always
been dark, as there are no lights near.
The fixtures installed were heavy
forged iron brackets, and large white
opaque reflectors. Lamp posts have
also been erected along the walk lead
ing to Mary Spiller Hall.
DEBATE WORK STARTED
Forensic Aspirants Delve Into Ques
tion of Immigration—Material
is Plentiful.
Preparation for the coming debate
tryouts has been started by ten or
twelve forensic candidates who have
signified their intention of competing
in the first elimination contest.
Coach Prescott has put on reserve
in the Library a large quantity of
material, and the librarians are still
engaged in making bibliographies of
(he magazine and pamphlet material
scattered about on the shelves.
As the first date for the tryouts is
two weeks distant, the debators have
confined themselves to preliminary
reading, and in most instances they
report not having chosen their sides
of the question, which will be con
cerning Eastern immigration and its
restriction. The final wording will
not be known for at least a week, on
account of the red tape encountered
in its determination. However, Mr.
Prescott has advised the local debat
ors to prepare on the question of ap
plying our general policy in regard
to the Chinese immigrants to those
from southern Europe.
Those that are studying the ques
tion are Howard Zimmerman, Hert
Lombard, Peter Crockett, Maurice
Hill, Otto Heider. James Donald,
David Pickett, Claude Hampton,
Chester Fee, and Harold Young.

TERRORS FOR OREGON
Despite Frequency of Number 23,
III Luck Did Not
Materialize.
Supestition as well as the dope
can was overturned last Saturday.
The time-worn 23, acknowledged in
most quarters to be the deadliest of
all ill omens, no longer has terror
for Oregon backers.
Saturday, the Oregon Electric spe
cial train number 2300 carried the
team and most of the rooters travel
ing by that line to Albany. On the
Southern Pacific, engine number 23
pulled the Students’ Special to Al
bany, leaving Eugene at 23 minutes
of one, on the 23rd of the month, and
pulling out of Albany on the return
trip at 23 minutes past five.
Obviously the skiddoo signal does
not apply to Oregon enterprises.
Abe Blackman was called to Port
land Wednesday noon. He left that
evening for the metropolis, where he
presided over the Oregon rooters at
the Oregon-M. A. A. C. game Thurs
day afternoon.
THESPIS PRACTICE
DURING VACATION
‘Dombey and Son" Cast Rehearses
Daily for Production Next Friday
Night.
Daily practice is being held in pre
paration for the Dramatic Club’s pro
duction “Dombey and Son,” to be pre
sented December (1, at the Eugene
Theatre.
A regular schedule for rehearsals
has been worked out by Professor
Keddie and the club directors, which
includes every step in preparation up
to the night preceeding the perform
ance. Fines are imposed for the non
attendance of the members of the
cast.
The costumes, old English in design
and in keeping with the time of the
play, have been received from their
makers, and are being worn by the
actors in order that they may be
thoroughly accustomed to them before
the night of the production.
Seats will be placed on sale at the
theatre box office Friday morning, De
cember 5. The prices have been fixed
at 50c, 75c, and $1.00.
The students in the department of
history at Michigan have been put on
the honor system. They must sign
a pledge to neither give nor receive
help during an examination.
A number of the University stu
dents who remained over in Eugene,
attended the dance given Friday even
ing in Folly Hall by the C. S. Club,
composed of High School students.
BRILLIANT ROUND OF
SOCIAL GAIETY MARKS
ACATION DAYS IK) NOT DRAG,
AS THOSE LEFT BEHIND
MAKE MERRY
DORMITORY DANCE IS SMART AFFAIR
Campus is Desolate as Left Overs
Slum the Paths of Wisdom and
Celebrate.
(By Cinderalla Symanthy Jones.)
Considerable social gaiety has
marked the Thanksgiving- vacation
holiday among the Varsity folk and
left overs scattered among the fra
ternity houses. A Mardi Gras spirit
has held sway to the exclusion even
of the semi-serious pursuits usually
attendent upon short respites from
the college curriculum. The imme
diate exodus of students to their
homes and vacation Meccas was evi
dent as early as Wednesday noon,
when the campus presented a desolate
appearance perchance broken now and
then by the lonely figure of some over
ardent seeker after knowledge.
Dinner engagements, after-supper
dances, theatre parties, golfing, and
Thanksgiving football games formed
the chief diversions to while away the
monotony of an enforced absence from
the class rooms.
By far the most brilliant and ex
clusive dance of the Thanksgiving in
terim was the elaborate and beauti
fully appointed terpsichorean effort of
the Dormitory Club, given Friday
evening, November 28. Assembling
about 8:30, the thirty odd couples in
cluded the chic element of the Univer
sity, and presented a glittering ap
pearance as the first strains of the
melody, “My Rag Time Violin,” sent
the first couple gliding across the
glassy floor, to be followed by the
entire assembly of gladsome merry
makers.
The program included fifteen reg
ular dances and three extras, which
seemed hardly to satisfy the youth
ful desires of the pleasure seekers.
Germanias and lancers served to add
zest to the list of engagements, which
were secured at a minimum of effort
owing to the surprisingly even bal
ance of dancers. Decorations were
streamers, pennants, ferns, and ever
greens tastefully adorning the walls
of the Dormitory. Indian blankets
and cozy corners were beautifully
provided for those wont to gaze on
the keleidoscopic scene. Punch, a
brew of rare juices, was served by

EUGENE HIGH SEEPS ON VHNCOUVER ELEVEN
IN SPECTACULAR THANKSGIVING ME BATTLE
Playinp Vancouver’s hiph school
football team completely otF its feet,
in spite of a line weakened by the
loss of two tackles, the Eupene High
School Thursday on Kincaid Field well
stablished its claim to the inter
scholastic state gridiron champion
ship. Since then the Iliph School
team of Everett, Wash., has sent its
conpratulations to Eupene for hold
inp a championship team, but has de
clined to accept a post-season pame
for Northwest supremacy, thus leav
inp Eupene a clear title to this honor.
Eupene has always had a stronp foot
ball team, but this is the first time
; in its history that it has held com
plete possession of the entire North
west interscholastic field. And Eu
pene’s fame has spread. A challenpe
! was received yesterday from the Wen
jdall Philips Hiph School of Chicago,
I asking for a Christmas game. The
Chicago team desires to play Eugene,
Washington High, and Astoria. It is
not probable that this game can be
arranged because of the fact that it
occurs during the Christmas vaca
tion.
Thursday's game on Kincaid Field
was quite spectacular. The Eugene
backs, Ross, Gray, and Kletzing, time
and again circled the Vancouver ends
for long gains. They were carried
along by perfect interference and
worked plays with almost clock-work
precision. The forward passing was
likewise remarkable, li e first score
occurred when Ross dropped back on
the 25-yard line, calmly waited until
his ends had crossed the Vancouver
goal line, and, as he was about to be
downed in his tracks, shot the ball
straight as an arrow to the waiting
ends.
