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

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.

OPENING GAME OF WORLD
CHAMPIONSHIP SE
RIES WON 6-4.
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.

FACULTY CQHHITTEE
DECIDE EXTRA CREDITS
Debate and Journalism Ack
nowledgment Will
Be Settled
The question of granting credii
for debate and newspaper work was
brought before the faculty at tht
meeting of Friday, October 3, as '
result of numerous inquiries on tht
part of students interested in thai
work. 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,

Teachers over Oregon generally are
