GLEE CLUB TO
MARE A TRIP
MANAGER WALKER TO CON
DUCT TOURS INTO ALL
PARTS OF STATE
OCEAN JOURNEY IS PLANNED
First Concerts Come in Two
Weeks Among Nearby Col
leges. Idaho and Coast In
cluded in Routes.
Following an entirely new plan of
action this year, the Oregon glee
club will take four trips along routes
that have in the ast remained prac
tically untouched by University sing
ers. Manager Dean Walker has
planned the first trip to start two
weeks from Wednesday, and says
^ that Dallas College, Monmouth Nor
mal school, McMinnville college, and
Pacific University will be included
in the schedule as now mapped out.
During the Thanksgiving vacation.
Astoria will be visited, and at Christ
mas time, the longest journey ever
undertaken by the University club
will be made having as its objective
point, Boise and some of the nearby
Idaho towns. Nampa, Payette, On
tario, and Caldwell, are among the
show towns listed.
Manager Walker is enthusiastic
over this itinerary and says that he
expects the trip to be unusually suc
cessful. “A great many of our stu
dents come from Idaho,” he said,
and we have strong backing there.
It is the first time that our glee club
has ever ventured into this territory,
and I am very hopeful concerning the
outcome.”
The most novel of all, however,
is the tour which will take place in
the spring, taking in the coast towns,
among which will be listed Marsh
field, Florence, Ooquiile and Maple
ton. In addition to this, it is prob
able that a return bill will be given
at Astoria.
For the purpose of making the
coast towns, manager Walker has
conceived the idea of making the en
tire trip by boat. "In thife way,” he
says, “the boys will have a nice ocean
trip, and we will be able to save a
large part of the amount usually giv
en over to hotel bills, by having the
club live on board ship. I think that
I shall probably charter a small coast
ing vessel to use on the spring tour.”
When asked if he did not fear sea
sickness as a menace to the efficiency
of the club, the graduate manager
replied, that the boys all claimed to
be good sailors, and used to the vicis
situdes of ocean travel.
The club is practicing daily, and is
working enthusiastically, in the pros
pect of such an extensive itinerary.
Director Ralph Lyman expresses
himself as well satisfied with the
showing made by the men, although
he fears that the time is short for *
thorough preparation for the first j
trip. "It is seldom,” he said, “that
one finds so strong a bass section as
we have this year. The first tenors
are also doing well, and the other
sections will soon fall in line, and
complete a well balanced club.”
The Christmas trip takes in Hood
River, The Dalles, Baker, Boise, Pay
ette, Caldwell, Weiser and La Gran le
and Pendleton on the return trip.
Walla Walla was also considered a
part of the trip, tut Manager Walker
thinks the possibility of breaking
even there is doubtful, so the club
will probably not show there.
A Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, na
tional honorary society, will soon be
installed at the University of North
Dakota. The Charter w-as grants
at the national convention of the fra
ternity in New York last month.
UNIVERSITY ALUMNI
ATTEND RECEPTION
First Annual Home-Coming Day
Attracts Hundreds on
Saturday
The first annual Homecoming Day
for the University Alumni brought
back to the scenes of their college
days nearly one hundred local and
visiting graduates; and the event was
celebrated for the first time, in the
gymnasium, Saturday night, where
graduates and students gathered for
an informal reception.
Ben Williams ’ll, president of the
local alumni association, welcomed
the visitors, and outlined the work
that the Eugene graduates are doing
for the University and against the
referendum on the University appro
priations. He spoke optimistically
of the chances for victory in the com
ing election, and urged the students
to do their part in the fight by writ
ing to friends and relatives of the
situation, and asking that they reg
ister.
Dean Walker spoke next and ex
plained the purpose and prospects of
the Home Coming idea, which he
said would become a permanent part
of the University’s endeavor.
Senator Louis E. Bean, of Eugene,
was called upon next, and delivered
the main address of the evening, re
viewing the referendum fight. He
said that sentiment throughout the
state was favorable to the University,
but that danger lay in overconfidence
and that the friends and students of
the University must be wide-awake
during the entire campaign. He said,
though, that in his opinion, if a vote
were taken now, a victory fot the
referendum would result. He a*so
urged that the students take an act
ive interest £tnd help in getting the
people to the polls at the coming elec
ion.
Those in the receiving line were:
Ben Williams, Senator and Mrs. L. E.
Bean, Judge and Mrs. E. O. Potter,
Prof, and Mrs. John Straub, Profes
sor and Mrs. F. S. Dunn, President
and Mrs. P. L. Campbell. For the
students. Misses Norma Dobie, Ruth
Beach and Aline Norine, received at
the door.
CELEBRATES HIS BIRTHDAY
President of University Admits
That He Has Reached
Age of 52
Dr. P. L. Campbell, for a little
over eleven years president of the
University of Oregon, had a birthday
yesterday, but modestly kept the fact
a secret until an Emerald reporter
got on the trail. Then the President
owned up to it and admitted in addi
tion,' that he would never pass the
fifty-second milestone again.
President Campbell is a graduate
of the class of ’86, Harvard and came
to Oregon in 1902, since which time
he has been at the head of the Uni
versity. He is also a newspaper man
and in 1885 accepted a position with
the Kansas City Star on straight re
portorial work. “I started in,” he
said, “making the police courts, and
I can tell you, it was pretty tough
there. Later I was shifted up a lit
tle and for the remainder of the year
I did mostly interview work.”
This finished the newspaper epi
sode in his life and he went back to
Harvard for his senior year.
Many University supporters ap
peared on the streets this afternoo*
wearing ribbons, on which wos
printed: “I Have Registered, Have
You?” Tomorrow is the big Univer
sity registration day.
Catharine Carson, Eleanor Mc
Clain, Miss Mary Perkins and Mrs.
Parsons are expected to return soon
from Hood River, where they have
been attending a meeting of wo
men's clubs held in that city.
ENGINEERING
WORKVARIED
COURSES EXTENDED FROM
ONE TO THREE YEARS
AT PORTLAND
EXTENSION WORK IS VARIED
First of University Evenings Will
Be Held at Library in Con
junction With Members of
Harriman Club.
Professors Rebec and Hodge, both
of the extension department of the
University, who returned yesterday
from a trip to Portland and Salem,
report the changing of three of the
engineering courses given in the de
partment. Electrical engineering,
hydraulics and structural engineer
ing all of which have hitherto been
given to technical employes of the
railroads in Portland have been rais
ed from the standing of one year
courses to three year. Arrangements
have been made with the state libra
ry in Salem and the Portland public
library, by means of which they may
be used as avenues of communica
tion between the reading and study
ing public and the University.
In addition to this it is proposed
to have tl e members of the extension
department hold office hours in the
library for the purpose of meeting
those who desire the assistance of
the University in studying and read
ing. It is the intention of the libra
ries to stimulate and advertise the
work and it is planned besides to
hold University evenings under the
auspices of the extension department.
These meetings will be held once a
week at the Portland library.
The first of these will be conduct
ed in co-operation with the Harri
man club on Friday, October 10. The
Harriman club consists of some thou
sand employes of the Harriman lines
and comprises men from both the
technical and official branches. An
entertaining program will be render
ed. Professor Reddie will give, a
reading from George Bernard Shaw’s
play, “Getting Married,” and Profes
sor Rebec will explain the advantages
offered by the University extension
courses. Feature numbers by mem
bers of the club will also be given.
Requests are coming from all parts
of the state for the services of Dr.
Hodge both in the direction and or
ganization of practical work along
the line of utilizing biological knowl
edge in the furthering of public wel
fare. Personal lectures from him are
also in great demand. Dr. Hodge is
now in Portland working in co-opera
tion with the state game and school
officials.
It is announced that the Extension
department will from now on have
headquarters in the Journal building
in Portland in conjunction with the
American Playgrounds Association.

Enthusiasm has steadily risen this
semester in the Women’s Glee Club.
“The list of aspirants for a place on
the club is still too large,” says Prof.
Ralph Lyman, “but I do not know
yet how I can eliminate any of the
members. Everyone seems to be so
enthusiastic and to sing so well that
I cannot cut down my list. The re

Picks Out Faults and Suggests
How They May Be Remedied.
Good Lineup in Practice Is
Encouraging to the Coach
(By Raeman Fleming)
After the Alumni game of last
Saturday the team has been going
through a reorganization. Men have
been shifted around in the line and
and linemen have been put into the
backfield. The whole squad is be
ing tried out to find out where the
men are best adapted to the style of
play which Coach Bezdek is teach
ing.
Captain Bradshaw has maintained
his place at end and Caut'ield has re
mained at center. Parsons and Cor
nell have remained at their positions
halfback and quarterback respect
ively. The remainder of the squad
has been shifted around here and
there until any man out can, at a mo
ment’s notice, take the place of any
other man.
The way the team lined up for the
Alumni game was as follows: Cap
tain Bradshaw and Bryant, ends;
Fenton and Holden, tackles; Garrett
and Hall, guards; Caufield, center;
Bigbee, quarter bark; Parsons and
Beckett, halves and Cook, fullback.
Just before the end of the first half
a shift was made and Malarkey and
Crowell Went in as halfbacks; Hunt
ington went in at fullback and Cor
nell replaced Bigbee at quarter. The
second half started with another
shift. The regular lineifc) of the be
ginning of the game was again the
order with one exception and that
was Cornell at quarter.
As opposed to this lnieup of Sat
urday was the lineup for practice
yesterday. Captain Bradshaw re
mained at his station but Beckett
was pulled out of the bhckfield and
put at the other end, replacing Bry
ant. Caufield remained at center.
Fenton and Holden were shifted from
taok)es to guards. Hall was shifted
from guard to tackle and Cook was
taken out of the position of fullback
and put in the line as the other
tackle. The halves were Parsons and
Jones; and Bryant was put in at full
back.
With these changes there was n
splendid line in action last night and
it was the subject of comment of the
majority of those who braved the
cold breezes in the grandstand that
it was the best line that Oregon has
ever had. The men in that line wore
all over six feet tall and no man in
it weighed less than 175 pounds.
More than that they were all fast.
The training table was started last
night and the men who made it were
the 11 old men of last year and two
new men on the squad this year,
Beckett and Bryant. There may be
other candidates taken to the festive
board. It all depends on how they
show up in the scrimmages which
are to be the main order of events
this week.
Coach Bezdek gave the men a lit
tle secret talk in the gymnasium last
night to which none but the squad
were admitted but the talk consist
ed mainly, not in the discussion of
any secret formations, but of a dis
cussion of the faults of the men and
how best they, can be remedied.
576 students have registered at
the University of North Dakota this
year
Edith Sheehy was at the Gamma
Phi Beta house for the week-end.
TRAINING TABLE HAS
THIRTEEN REGULARS
iBezdek Picks Men Who Will
Eat Under Supervision
During Season
Training table started last night at
the Men’s Dormitory with thirteen
men partaking of the diet specified
by coach Bezdek as that best suited
for the development of gridiron ath
letes. Two new men on the squad,
Beckett and Bryant have been award
ed places on the table in recognition
of the class of work pulled off by
them on Kincaid field, while eleven
of the old men of last year will also
eat under the supervision of the
coach. These are Caufield, Fenton,
Grout, Hall Heusner, Jones, Brad
shaw, Cornell, Parsons, Cook, and
Holden.
This number will remain about
the same, but it is announced that
the personnel of the bunch who are
considered classy enough to partake
of the trainer’s fare is by no means
fixed. New men who eventually
show more class than the veterans of
'ast year, will supplant the older
players, or if there is little choice to
make, a couple of extra leaves may
be inserted In the table and the size
of the crowd increased.
The same plan will be followed
this season as in former years. Each
athlete eating at the training table
will pay his regular board bill, and
any difference between this and the
monthly charge at the training table
will be made up by the student body.
TOMORROW IS SPECIAL

City to Be Divided Into Districts
and Canvassed Very
Thoroughly
Tomorrow will be Registration

was made that 2500 only, out of a
possible 4500 voters in Eugene, have

plans for a campaign, the city is to
be divided into districts and a sys
tematic canvass conducted, to bring

Allen Eaton, who is conducting
the state campaign for the Univer
sity; Secretary Duryea, of the local
Commercial club; and J. S. Magladry
were present at the meeting yester
day. To them it seemed evident that

When 50,000 persons paid admis
sion to see the opening game of the
world’s championship series this af
ternoo, it showed the merit of ibase
ball as a game. When nearly 160,
paid to see the last world’s champion
ship event in soccer, it showed that
soccer has some merit, too.
Soccer isn’t the rl^ht name of the
new brand of football just being in
troduced at Oregon. The name has
kept the game back as much as any
other single thing. It sounds some
thing like a joke; it makes one think
instinctively of a certain article of
apparel.
Just how the word originated Is
disputed but in England they nick
named the one football soccei and
the other rugger. Association foot
ball is the proper name of soccer and
Is possibly a far fetched corruption
of association, just as rugger is a
more obvious corruption of rugby.
Original - Ball was a Bladder.
