OREGON \ EMERALD VOL. XV EUGENE, OREGON, TUESDAY, OCT. 14. 1913. No. X. WALKER TALKS OF 0. A. G. TEAM AGGIES GIVE THE GRADUATE MANAGER A SCARE SATURDAY TEAM POSSESSES MUCH BEEF Dean and Dr. E. G. Stewart Have Conference With Mr. Eagles Who Managed the 0. A. C.-Oregon Game Last Year By Raeman T. Fleming. “I came home with fear in my heart and a bad taste in my mouth after seeing the way the O. A. C. team tore through the Multnomah team last Saturday in Corvallis.” Thus did Dean Walker comment on the outlook for our defeating O. A. C. .on the fifteenth of November. ‘‘They used all beef in that game against Multnomah, as Multnomah has a heavy team. Shaw and Dewey were not in the game. Their places were filled by Black at quarter and May, who captained the team at end. “Their team work was not of the best because they lacked the regular quarterback. This necessitated a conference every so often between May and Black but when the play was called they went at it with a vengeance, tearing through tne Multnomah line steadily. Huntley, a man who has been out of college three years, is back again and is playing a mighty good game. Chris man has been shifted from center to tackle and he is playing a wonderful game. “He played against Philbrook, an ex-Notre Dame man, v.ho is consid ered to be a star, and opened up great gaps in that portion of the Multnomah line. Hays, the Califor nia man who is playing half-back, is going mighty well. Hays is carrying the ball well and seems to have the knack of picking the holes and wriggling through the best defense. Abraham is bucking the line in a powerful fashion, but he is not quite up to Hays’ calibre. He is a hard man to stop once he is started and he starts quickly and runs low.” “Stewart and I had a conference in Albany,” continued Walker, “with Mr. Eagles who handled the game there last year. We are practically assured that the game will be played there as Mr. .Eagles said there was to be a meeting of the Board of Con trol of the Chamber of Commerce last night, at which he would submit the plan to fix up the field and put in about 2000 more bleacher seats than we had last year. He said that this would be agreed upon, however, and that he could assure us of the use of the improved field. “As I said I had a had taste in my mouth after seeing that bunch of huskies play, bu^ then when 1 saw the varsity in action last night things did not look so gloomy, and if we can develop a line that will open up the holes and give our backfield a chance we have about an even break. That OLD OREGON SPIRIT helps, too.” Mr. C. E. Johnson, of the Portland Seed Co., was in Eugene Saturday and Sundav to visit his daughter. Florence, a freshmen at the Chi Omega house. Prof. W. B. Kempthorne and Mr. and Mrs. Harry Devereaux were din ner guests at the Avava house Sun day. Twenty new members have been added to the faculty of the Univer sity of Wyoming. FRESHMEN ISSUE SOCCER CHALLENGE First Year Men After Week’s Training- Are Ready to Take on Anything Though naturally rather modest, the men of the Freshman class came forward yesterday, however, and challenged the entire University to a soccer game. The Freshmen have been turning out regularly under the able coaching of Professor Dyment and are now ready to demonstrate their ability. In speaking of the soccer pros pects, Professor Dyment said yester day: “The field has been put in good shape and we are now ready to play the game. We have been handicapped by the lack of suitable material, being compelled to use the discarded shoes of the varsity foot ball men. Very few of the players have had any previous soccer experi ence but I am encouraged tyy the creditable showing that has been made by a ftew of the men. There is a possibility that a game may be scheduled with one of the Portland teams later in the season.” LOCAL ASSOCIATION TO HELP IN LETTER WRITING Automobile Owners Volunteer Aid in Canvassing Eugene Territory At a joint meeting of the Commer cial Club, the Ladies’ Auxiliary and the Merchants’ Protective Associa tion held the last of the week, il was decided to help the University in the letter writing campaign and with automobiles to cover the terri tory surrounding Eugene.

NEW LEAGUE IS ORGANIZED STUDY OF DRAMA IS PUR POSE OF UNIVERSITY ASSOCIATION FACULTY BACKS MOVEMENi Prof. Reddie and Dr. Rebec Are Instrumental in Foiftning -a League Which Aims to Culti vate Artistic Sense. (By Maudell Weiss) That the study and interpreta tion of the drama is to offer a field for student activity, is shown by the formation today of the University of Oregon Associated League for the study of the Drama, which is backed by the faculty of the University, and many prominent townspeople. The organization has been effected main ly through the efforts of Professor Archibald P. Reddie, and Dr. George Rebec: The motto of the league will be “The Play's the Thing.” According to Professor Reddie and Dr. Rebec the purpose of the league is not only to develop the student's voice and poise but to encourage a higher sense of the artistic and the esthetic. It is to leaven popular ap preciation and tend toward the up lift of the drama as an art. The power, genius, comedy, tragedy and ppetry of the drama is intended not only to benefit the members of the league but the audience that sees the plays as well. Backed By Faculty. The importance of the movement is shown by the character of the men and women allied with it. Members of the faculty from every depart ment of the University dealing with the fine arts are on the ruling com mittees as well as several lovers of the drama outside the University, in cluding Representative Allen Eaton, Mrs. Minnie Washburne, and Mrs. Lischen Miller. The two committees will be the advisory and production commit tees, under the direction of Profes sor Reddie. The advisory committee consists of President P. L. Campbell, Mrs. P. L. Campbell, Dr. George Rebec, Prof. Herbert Crombie Howe, Mr. Allen Eaton, Miss Julia Burgess. The committee of production consists of Prof. Frederick Stanley Dunn, Prof. Edward Allen Thurber, Dr. Bertha Stewart, Miss Winifred Forbes, Miss Minnie Washburne, Mrs. Lischen Miller, Mrs. Archibald Ferguson Reddie, Mrs. Albert Raddin Sweet ser, Prof. Abbot Lyman, Mrs. E. S. Parsons, Miss Mary Perkins and Prof. Eric W. Allen. Students Will Manage. The entire management of the league will fall into the hands of the students. The faculty has appointed Samuel Michael business manager and Max Herbert Sommer publicity manager. Both of these men have had experience along this line of work and are believed thoroughly competent. The other three mem bers of the publicity department have not bSen chosen ygt, but Edi son Marshall and Mhndell \fyeiss, Jof the Em^-ald sta/f, have been “men tioned for two°of the positions'? New ideas will 0be introduced in st&ge°setting and costuming, as it is the intention of the committees to develop griginality along this line. Nothing but the best “work of mod ern authors will be produced, a good type of whicn is the comedy, “Get ting Married,” now being studied by the class in dramatic interpretation. The league was named by Dr. George JJebec, who is taking a very active part in its development. CREDITS ARE NOW CHANCED NEW BASIS FOR WORK IN CORRESPONDENCE AND SUMMER SCHOOL MUSIC TO COUNT FOR B. A.
