That all the voters should regis

Lane county.
It was pointed out that concerted
action must be taken immediately
by the alumni and friends of the
University to show to the voters the
necessity of fighting the referendum
and aid in the fight for higher edu
cation. The meeting was well at
tended and a meeting of the alumni
has been called for tonight at 7:30
in the Commercial club rooms to
which all friends of the University
are welcome.
Mrs. M. Washburne urged the wo
men voters to register and aid In this
work. In order to prove that the bal
lot has been well placed with them.
Hon. Eaton Allen presided as
chairman, and other speakers were
as follows: Judge L. T. Harris, Re
gent A. C. Dixon, Dr. W. Kuykendall,
Mrs. M. Washburne, Geo. A. Dorris,
of Springfield; Hon. C. J. Hurd, of
Irving, and J. S. Magladry.
Another meeting will be held to

ROOTING RECEIVES
COACHES BLESSING
EFFECT OF VOCAL SYMPA
THY DISCUSSED BY
SPORTING WRITER
What athletic coaches think on the
subject of the influence of rooting on
competing athletes, the stimulating
effect of the vocal sympathy and en
thusiasm in brin ing the team to the
point of playing better than it knows
how is shown in the following ex
cerpt from the Los Angeles Times:
Walter Christie, after twenty-five
years of experience In training track
athletes, states: “I consider that
one-fourth of the efficiency of a
track team comes from the bleachers.
A man on the track must have music
and noise to key him up. I always
want a band when my teams com
pete. The livelier and better the
music the faster they can run. In
my own experience I found that I
could never run the 100-yard dash
under 11 seconds unless there were
bleachers and music. On such occa
sions I could travel the distance in 10
seconds.
" A peculiar thing I have noticed
is that California men in an inter
collegiate contest invariably slow
down while passing the Stanford side
of the field and speed up when in
front of the California rooting sec
tion. There is no doubt of the psy
chological effect of rooting and
crowds upon athletes.”
Psychologists call this effect
“crowd-contagion,” and recognize its
power on men. It is a subtle, invisi
ble something that does bring re
sults. It might be likened unto an
electric current flowing from the
bleachers into the man on the field.
moo rsyenoiogy.
Every one who has Been football
games knows how new life can be
put into an exhausted team by cheer
ing and shouting. Psychologists are
averse to stating just what propor
tion of extra physical effort cun be
caused by excitement of this kind,
but many athleteB have felt it, and
know that the bleachers arouse to
unwonted physical exertion.
There are cases at California
where men have come from hospi
tals and entered Intercollegiate con
tests weuk and scarcely able to walk.
The case of C. F. Kleberger, now
professor of physical education, Is
one of the most striking of recent
years.
Two hours after leaving the oper
ating table he ran the 100-yard dash
against Stanford, and won it in 10
1-5 seconds. Ills experience illus
trates what power lies in the bleach
ers, for he Bays: “When 1 arrived
on the field the captain came to me
uul told me I would have to lun if
I possibly could. Weak and barely
iblo to get my spikes into the holes,
1 lined up for the gun. Just then a
■beer broke out from our bleachers
and with it came a surge of strength
that carried me through to the tape
In the fastest time I had ever made.
It was the bleachers that won that
race."
The fact that muscular strength
•an be increased by encouargement.
Is recognized by football chrowds
who give vent to cries of “fight,
fight," and "bold that line" when
lire goal is In danger. But when a
feat of skill Is to be performed, and
t Is known that skill deteriorates
by coaching, breaths are held and
muscles tensed lest the performer be
Jlsconcerted. Does not always a si
enre reign when a goal is to be kick
id?

The annual Y. M.-Y. W.'C. A. re

Friday evening at eight o’clock in
Villard Hall. Definite arrangements

by the evening of the reception. A
departure from the general line of

omission of a receiving line, a special

waiting for anyone who digs deep
enough. Everyone knows of the
freshness and life that comes with
"second wind;” a complete loss of
"that tired feeling."
Not Every-Day Occurrence.
The urging of the bleachers and his
own determination undoubtedly cause
the athlete to dig iuto this deeper level
of liis strength and call upon it in the
strains of games. The quick recoveries
from injuries and wonderful endurance
of football players are not the feats of
every day, hut only when salved and en
couraged by the presence of a multitude.
A man breaks quickly into his reserve
strength when a thousand throats are
helping him wield the battering ram.

Ur. Clifton Hodge of Clark Uni

“BILL” HOLDEN APPEARS
WEARmGJ/mUSTAOHE
A scraggly, straw-colored cious
- ° o o
tache, closely pursued by “Bill”
Holden, has been seen distinctly by
several students "iipon the campus
during the past few days. The spe
cimen of hirsute adornment is de
scribed as being largely composed of
hairs, protruding modestly just
through the surface of the upper lip.
It represents the result of much care
and labor bestowed upon it by its
owner during his summer’s sojourn
in the city of Umatilla, Oregon.
Considering the dry and unpro
ductive climate of that region, the
moustache is not to be sneezed at.
If you want to see it do not delay,
as the big football player threatens
to shave it off because of the lack of
appreciation shown for its beauty
about the campus.
UNIVERSITY CLASSES
IN THREE MORE CITIES
Faculty Members to Teach in
Medford, Ashland and
Jacksonville
Medford, Ashland and Jacksonville are
among the first towns this year to take
advantage of the courses offered by the
University of Oregon extension depart
ment. In each a class in sociology is
being organized.
At Medford the class is being formed
by the Medford Ministerial association,
seven members of which have enrolled.
At Ashland George A. Briscoe, superin
tendent of schools, is organizer, and at
Jacksonville, Rev. I’. L. Bandy. The Ash
land and Jacksonville classes hope to ar- |
comprised largely of business and pro
fessional men.
Professor I<\ G. Young, head of the de
partment of sociology and economics,
will in person get the classes under way
in all three towns Friday and Saturday
of this week. From time to time Pro
fessor Young or some other faculty mem
ber will visit the classes. Some of the
instruction will be conducted by corres
pondence.
During the winter, these Medford, Ash
land and Jacksonville classes hop to ar
range short lecture courses, extending
not less than one week each. Among the
faculty members giving these lectures will
be Dr. Clifton F. Hodge, whose year’s
work will be devoted largely to the muni
cipal problems of Oregon towns. Dr.
Hodge, who has been secured by the Uni
versity for only one year, is an authority
iu civic biology and sanitation.
The University has added facilities for
extension work this year and is prepared
to reach a large number of classes like
those in southern Oregon. Several will
be conducted in Portland. The courses
are practically free.
—The University has more calls than it
can meet for competent teachers of high
school physics. Ability to teach this
subject ircreases the probability of se
curing a position and frequently brings
somewhat higher remuneration.

cate that Dr. Stewart has a large
football squad in training at the
