PROF. REDDIC TO . BEGIN READING © ® ' © ® ( CAESAR AND CLEOPATRA TO BE FIRST OF THE SERIES }.*• •» MODERN PLAYS PROMISED Masefield, Maeterlink, Shaw, Galsworthy and Kennedy Have Been Chosen for the Course This Year. Plays that are not only “Up to Date,” but which are possibly just a little ahead of the times have been chosen for this year’s series of free dramatic readings to be given by Prof. A. F. Reddle, head of the de partment of public speaking. Old line conservatives, unfamiliar with ultra modern drama, will either stay at home, or attending, receive some painful jolts. “Caesar and Cleopatra” by George Bernard Shaw, will be the first of the series, and will be given In Deady Hall tonight. Promptly at 8:15 the door to room 31 will be locked, and will not be opened for late comers. This Is necessary to obviate interrup tion and insure the enjoyment of the audience. Shaw shows up these classic per sonages in a new light. All Caesar's frlneds are very much afraid that the childish old general is going to muddle matters, and when things keep coming his way they all think it is coincidence or accident. Cleo patra, also, appears, In a very human role. Later In the course will come: The Tragedy of Nan, John Mase field, October 27; Monna Vanna, Maurice Maeterlinck, November 5; Major Barbara, Shaw, November 18; Strife, John Galsworthy, December 2; The Necessary Kvil and The Terrible Meek, by Charles Rann Kennedy, December, 9. SWEETLAND FOR OREGON Willamette Coach Say Oregon Team Will Beat U. of W. At last a man has been found who agrees with Gilmore Doble, coach of five Northwest Intercollegiate foot ball teams. That man Is Dr. G. J. Sweetland, football mentor at Will amette university, Sulem, Ore- Not only does Sweetland say that Wash ington will have a difficult task In winning its sixth consecutive title, >but he makes the bold assertion that Doble is due to lose his laurels this year for a-certainty. This Hue of rea soning coming from a disinterested person is worthy of study. Sweetland has learned that football interest in Washington, Oregon and Idaho has been on the Increase dur ing recent years largely because a higher grade of football Is played. More thorough and definite plans were laid by the six Institutions than ever before, and in a "legitimate” manner the high school football ma terial was more carefully combed over than before. In each of the col leges where a change In the coaching had been made this change was made early, and In one school the coach had handled other branches of ath letics In the same school last year, while in a tot her the football mentor had previously directed football des tinies, In the same Institution. Kach of the six coaches are skilled students in the game, with years of experlenci to draw from, and they know the conditions In the conference. "All of the teams." Sweetland says "will he stronger than In the past for enough of seasoned product ol past years has returned to constitute a nucleus around which a football machine may be shaped. The array of high school football players glean ed from last season’s gridirons Is bet ter than In recent years." Dr Sweetland disagrees with most critics In stamping the present day inter scholastic elevens as playing a bet ter game than a few seasons back lie attributes this to the fact that tht high schools are more ably coached Prom the second teams and substi tutes good material will be drawu SOLLEGE STUDENTS | RECENTLY HARRIED )wen Blazier ’16, Gets Eugene Girl. Norma Andrews '16 < Weds Frank Pierce ’l^ You can't tell who” be next! Dan Cupid la still pursuing his . work industriously along matrimon- ■ lal lines, and he doesn’t use much discrimination as to whom he tbooses | as his victims. He even invades col lege circles, and has not only pur loined a good number from our ranks already, but the indications are that he will make even greater inroads in the future. Within the last week this ever welcome mischief-maker succeeded in uniting two couples, and three of the parties concerned were Univer sity of Oregon students. During the summer two grooms, one an alumnus and the other a member of the class of ’14 were the result of the little god’s endeavors. Owen, Blazier, ex ’16, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Blazier, of Portland, and Echo Wintermeler, daughter of Judge Charles A. Winterweier, of Eugene, were quietly married at the Methodist church in Salem last Wednesday. On the day preceding, Frank Pierce, ’17, and Norma An drews, '16, met the same fate in Eu gene. Blazier, who will be better remem bered by his college friends as ’ Pinkie,” registered last fall, and also attended summer school. After completing his course at summer school, he accepted a position as as sistant bank examiner in Salem, where lie Is now located. Blazier is j a member of the Avava fraternity. J Frank Pierce registered this fall j from the east, and has been living with his brother, L. D. Pierce in Eu- ( gene. Pierce was pledged to :he j Avava fraternity. Mr. and Mrs. Blazier will reside in Salem, while Mr. and Mrs. Pierce will leave in a few days for the east, where the groom's parents make Jhelr home. Harry Devereaux, ’12, and Miss draco Vlckars, of Eugene, were unit ed in marriage a few weeks before the opening of college, and Will Fls er, ex ’14, of Portland, was married during the summer to Miss Emma Johnson of Ontario. Both of the boys were members of the Avava fraternity.

IAKER MAKES A HOME RUN Jhief Bender Pitches Contest for Philadelphia While New York Uses Marquard, Cran dall and Tesreau. Baker’s home run in the 5th in ilng was the feature of the opening fame of the world’s championship series, which the Philadelphia Ath lectis won iby a score of 6 to 4 from :he New York Giants this afternoon. 2hief Bender for the Athletics pitch ed a steady game, allowing eleven tilts, while for New York Marquard, Crandall and Tesreau each took a turn at pitching. The huge grandstand was crowded when John Hempstead, the sou of the late President Bush, of the Giants, threw the ball which opened the series. For two innings the game was featureless, but the New York crowd went into a frenzy when in the last of the third Merkle scored on a single, followed by Marquard’s sac rifice and Doyle’s single. However, in the next inning, Homerun Baker of the Athletics, came to the rescue of his team and proved his right to bear the nick name by knocking the ball into the deep right field (bleachers for a homer. The hit was if anything longer than the one he batted two years ago in the world’s series on the same field. In the fifth inning Crandall re placed Marquard for the Giants, and he in turn was succeeded by Tesreau in the eighth after being unable to stand the cannonading. The contest was remarkably free from errors, the only one being chalked up against Barry of the Giants, who made a wild throw to first base in the fifth inning. The Philadelphia fans had their turn at cheering in the fourth inn ing when three runs were scored on a double and two three baggers, placing them two ahead of New York. Collins up first, hit the first pitched ball for a three bagger which brought the grandstand to its feet. Baker, the next -batter, was wildly cheered and responded with a single. iMcInnis sacrificed him to second but Baker was thrown out at third on Strunk's grounder. Barry, the next batter, knocked a doubfe down the third base line and with Strunk scored on Schang’s three bagger. Bender, the next man up, was fan ned by Marquard. The batteries were: New York—Marquard, Crandall, Tesreau and Meyers. Philadelphia—Bender and Schang. Score by innings: 123456789 New York.001030000 Philadelphia ...00032 0 010 R. H. E.

Members of debating teams have heretofore beeu given credit foi their efforts when recommended ’>> their coaches and approved by th* faculty. It was then expected tha' other courses would be dropped ant be substituted by practical debating for which an equal number of credits would be given. The feasibility o: reviving this method or of worktut out a new one has beeu left for thi discussion of a special faculty com mlttee. appointed last night. BERMAN IN PUBLIC SCHOOL Educational Experiment Will Be Tried in bugene Grades. —Is the public school pupil too young to ake a foreign language? In Europe he s not; in America, he is so considered jecause the first studies in language >ther than English are given in the high ichool. In Eugene, however, under the aus pices of the University of Oregon the jducational experiment is to be tried of jiving German to seventh and eighth jrade boys and girls. The idea is to be extended to other Oregon cities if suc cessful in Eugene. The language is to be taught as an “extra” and pupils will not be required to take it. Instruction will come out side the pupils’ regular school hours. The teaching will be largely in German so the pupil can acquire the language as nearly as possible by the natural meth od. University of Oregon professors will do the teaching. Professor Ayer, head of the department of education, and Dr. Friedrich Georg G. Schmidt, professor of the German language and literature, Actor Is Given L.L. D. Montreal, Quebec, Oct. 7.—Sir Gilbert Parker, Canadian novelist and F. R. Benson, Shakespearean actor, were given the degree of doctor of laws by McGill university today.
