OREGON VOL. XV. EUGENE. OREGON. THURSDAY, OCT. 23, 1913. NO. XTV IDAHO TEAM HAS VETERANS ELEVEN OF SATURDAY’S OP PONENTS HAVE PLAYED COLLEGE FOOTBALL OREGON PLAYERS ARE INJURE^ With Parsons Out of Game and Malarky, Beckett, Jones, Bryant and Crowell on Sick List, Outcome Is Uncertain. The University of Idaho football team will arrive in Eugene tomorrow noon, with eleven men who have played in the first string in former years, and several shining stars just out of prep school, to break the “hoodoo” to which they attribute steady defeat by Oregon teams in past years. Their student body is awaiting confidently the news that they have defeated Oregon. The members of the Idaho squad, as announced by Coach "Pink” Griffith are as follows: Captain Pavre, Kinnison, Johnson, Cronin ger, Jardine and Lockhart, all of whom are playing their fourth year of college football; and Hayes, Phil lips, Deward, Dingle, Purdy, John ston, Drown, McClanahan, Kean, Ross and Thometz. And here is the concensus of hope coming from Coach Bezdek, Man ager Walker, and “Bill” Hayward: “We’ll be mighty lucky if we come out with the long end of the score Saturday. With (Parsons practically out of the game, and Malarkey, Jones, Beckett, Crowell and Bryant on the list of injured, we have some thing to worry about. Not a single backfield man is uninjured. We have a good team but Idaho’s show ing is sufficient evidence that even a team of our calibre in good condi tion would have a hard fight to beat them.” Oregon will not contest the eligi bility of Johnson, Idaho’s star end, A formerly announced. The North west Conference leaves this matter to the faculties of each school and the Idaho faculty has decided that Johnson is eligible. The assump tion is that the faculty will always be fair in such instances, and on that assumption, Johnson will be allow ed to play in the game Saturday. The Conference, however, is plan ning to have an Eligibility Commit tee chosen from Conference repre sentatives for like decisions in fu ture years. The game Saturday will either put Oregon in a fair position for North west championship; or in event of defeat, in a decidedly critical posi tion, with the battles with O. A. C. and Washington both to win to make a legitimate claim to the suprem acy. Mayhap the gala attire of the Ore gon huskies will add to their spirit, and help spur them to victory. New football paraphernalia, to clothe the men anew from head to toe, has ar rived, and will be^ portioned out to them tomorrow to break in for the game. The team has been practicing until 6:30 each evening behind closed gates, and not even an Emerald re porter can get within those gates to watch the“ mighty Bezdek mold the team that is to fight for Oregon. The best idea of Oregon’s lineup that can be gathered from chance remarks dropped by those who know, and the lineup of the Idaho team is as follows: Oregon—Caufield, center; Fen ton and Holden, guards; Hall and Cook, tackles; Bradshaw and Beck ett, ends; Cornell, quarter; Jones, Malarkey and Crowell, halfbacks, and Bryant at full. Idaho—Johnson, Dingle, or De PURITY TOO POPULAR AMONG CORNELL “FROSH” Handsome Statue Broken When Sophomores Force Young sters to Kiss Bronze Lips Ithaca, N. Y., Oct. 20.—With a broken foot and a bruised leg, Pur ity has fallen from her proud place on top of the drinking fountain which for many years has quenched the thirst of horses and men who pass 0 o 0 by the city hall, and the 700 mem bers of the local ihaptet of the W. C. T. U. are up in arms against the Cornell sophomores and freshmen. Sophomores late Saturday night made the freshmen file by the drink ing fountain climb up and plant a chaste kiss on the bronze lips of Miss Purity. Too many freshmen tried to do the oseulatory stunt at once and Miss Purity fell to the side walk. She now reposes in a back room in the police station in close proximity to plain drunks and others. Mrs. Mary B. Wood, president of the W. C. T. U., which spent $650 to give this fountain to the city, is very indignant. She says the 700 mem bers of the union will lay the matter before the city and the university au thorities at once. SENIOR-JUNIOR GAME AROUSES CLASS SPIRIT Much Hot Air Being Circulated But Lineups Shows Teams to Be Well Matched As a curtain raiser to the Ore gon-Idaho game the Junior and Se nior teams will clash on Kincaid Field, promptly at one-thirty. For the past week both teams have been training with vigor and vim and both feel contident of winning. With “Buck” Bigbee as captain and Earl Blackaby as manager the Juniors feel confident of a winning team. They met one piece of hard luck in losing “The flying Dutch man,” Heine Heidenreich, who has been called to Portland with the U. of O. qifartet. The Senior huskies that have turned out on the contrary believe that they ought to be able to clean up anything on the campus. The game has been the talk of the campus for the past week or two, and when the manager of the Junior team, Earl Blackaby, says he is willing to bet half of the gate re ceipts on the Juniors, and the man ager of the Seniors, Charles Fowler, comes back at him saying he is will ing to bet twice as much on the Se niors, it is evidence of a thrilling preliminary to the conference con test.

The Freshmen at the Oregon Ag riculture College defeated the sec ond year men in the annual football game recently by a score of 7 to 0. ward, ends; Kinnison and Phillips, tackles; Captain Favre and Gronin ger, guards; Knudson, full; Hayes, center; Purdy, quarter; Brown i.ad Lockhart or Joedine, halfbacks; “Red” Johnson may replace Purdy after the first quarter. COMPENSATION ACT BEST YET DEAN GANTENBEIN OF LAW SCHOOL EXPLAINS BILL TO STUDENTS LABOR LEADERS ALSO TALK Addresses by P. Pollock, A. C. Raven, E. P. Stack,° B. W. Sleeman, Glen Harris Con clude Assembly. “The Workmen's Compensation Act to be voted upon November 4, is by far the best of any compensation act yet enacted,” was the declara tion of Judge C. U. Gantenbein, Dean of the Oregon Law School, of Portland, principal speaker at the Assembly Wednesday morning. “The bill is a composite of the compensation acts of the other twelve states having such laws, and includes only those features which have been thoroughly tried and prov en successful. In addition, it has two original features, the first aid and automatic classification provi sions, which are among the most im portant of the bill. Bill Result of Investigation. “The compensation bill was the result of an investigation of a com mission of nine men, appointed by Governor West. The commission was composed of three representa tives of labor, three representatives of the employers, and three, repre sentatives of the taxpayers. After many months of investigation of the compensation laws of other states, the commission made its report. The report was acted upon by the legisla ture and the bill enacted. “I served six and one-lialf years on the Circuit bench of Multnomah County, and in that time I tried at least 200 personal injury cases. My observations have convinced me that the present system is grossly unfair and inadequate. I have seen cases where some men have received large damages for an injury, while others, injured in substantially the same manner, would be awarded very small amounts. Under the pro posed compensation act the amount allowed is determined by the extent of the injury sustained. Fund Contributions Divided. “The Act provides that xhree fourths of the fund, from which the damages are to be paid, is to be con tributed by the employer, one-eighth by the laborer, and one-eighth by the state. It also provides that in jured persons, instead of being paid damages in lump sum, will be paid in monthly installments. In this way it is hoped that the money will not be squandered as is now frequently the case.” . Judge Gantenbein was followed by several representatives of Port land labor organizations, who spent Wednesday investigating the actual conditions prevailing in the Univer sity. ° “Our mission here today is to place organized labor in the proper light regarding the University ap propriations,” stated Phillip Pollock, of the Portland Plumbers’ Associa tion, who was a member of the par ty. “We want it understood that the individual or individuals who are re sponsible for the referendum on the University appropriations do not represent organized labor.” A. H. Harris, editor of the Port land Labor Press and one of the most enthusiastic supporters of the University, followed Mr. Pollock. (Continued on page three) HALL GIVES TALK TO MEN AUTHORITY ON SEX HYGIENE ADDRESSES 1 O’CLOCK GATHERING FIVE SPEECHES GIVEN TODAY Knowledge of Psychology of Ad olescent Necessary to Deal Intelligently With Problem of the Social Evil. „ Speaking on the subject of “Sex Hygiene,” Dr. Winfield S. Hall, of Northwestern University, addressed the men of the University, in Villard Hall at 1 o’clock this afternoon. There was a large number present, several classes being dismissed in order that the men might not miss the opportunity of hearing the lec ture. <J3r. Hall said in part: “If one is to deal intelligently with the social evil and with the subsidiary problems connected with it in the social life, with a view to finding a rational solution of these problems, a knowledge of the psy chology of the adolescent is a fun damental necessity. No law of biology is more widely recognized than that law of organic evolution called 'The Law or Recapi tulation.” In accordance with the law of recapitulation every higher animal in its individual development 1T0 mthe simple one-cell type to its complex adult forms, repeats or re capitulates briefly the history of its race. Ancestry of an Aquatic. “For example, the human embryo possesses at one time early in its development gill pouches in the side of its pharynx and gill arches in its arterial system. This is universally recognized among biologists to mean that the remote ancestry of man was aquatic and breathing was by means of gills. “As the months and years go by and the mind unfolds, the higher mental functions, such as memory, recollections, imaginations, judg ment, reason and will power are progressively and step by step de veloped, in the average individual reaching their climax ij^^xjwer, if not their acme in maturVS^at about twenty-five years of age. Hold ledals Before Youths. "Pedagogically it is incomparably better teaching to hold up before the youth a great end to be attained and arouse in him not only a desire but a firm determination to attain that end, than it is to suspend over his head a sword of Damocles, the frail ness of whose suspending thread is a continuous menace to his safety. In other words, it is better to hold be fore his eyes the ideal of a condition much to be desired than the lurid pantom of a thing to be feared. It is better to “place before hjm the pic ture of a hero in armor—a knight-, errant to “the lady of his choice— than to shake before his face the blood-stained garments of sin and degradation. The constructive course incites to the best that is in him. The other course hardly deters him from the worst that is in him. Frankness Is Necessary. “As to the method of presenting these matters to young people and parents, I am convinced that incom parably the most effective method is a frank presentation of the find ings of science. Don't try to point too many morals. If the presenta tion has been clear and convincing, the listeners will very readily draw their own conclusions and formulate their own morals. 32 5 entries have been made for the Portola meet in San Francisco GLEE CLUB QUARTET SINGS IN PORTLAND Martin, Jerard, Heidenrich and Phillips to Assist Campaign Committee College songs from the voices of the University male quartet are to win votes ifor the University referen dum this week according to the plans of the Campaign Committee at Port land. The quartet, consisting of Henry Heidenreich, Bert Jerard, Clyde Phl|lips an$ Jerry Martin, left Thursday morning |p spend °the week-end in Portland. ° 1'he Committee will meet the men at the train and take them at once to the Commercial club, wTiere they MU sing. „ "Friday night they will sing at the Y. M. C. A. hall. AH of the high schools of the city will be visited Friday. LABOR LEADERS TO REPORT FAVORABLY Delegates Prom Portland Spend Afternoon on Campus in Investigation "Without a doubt, the laboring men of the unions which we repre sent will not oppose the University Appropriation," was the statement of the different Labor Leaders, who left their work in Portland to visit the University. This statement was made after they had made thorough investigation of the actual condi tions, under which the University is trying to carry on its Instruction. This delegation of men, under the guidance of Professor Allen and Prof. Rebec, Bpent all of Wednesday afternoon in their investigations. They visited the classes and labora tories of the various departments and noted the crowded conditions the lack of instructors and the lack of equipment. They observed that the buildings were in need of repair, that the library was Inadequate to meet the demands made upon it, and they saw the need for a new build ing. The work and the relation of each department to the outside world was explained by its head. One very interesting incident happened while they were visiting Miss Wat son’s class in the English Novel. The class was discussing, whether mar tyrs were needed at the present day. The class was evenly divided and the argument became very lively and in teresting. Finally one of the dele gates requested that a vote be taken. This revealed the fact that all of the class, without an exception, believed martyrs were needed. A remark by one of the delegates indicates the conclusion of all, "What department isn't crowded?" Upon the return of these men to their homes, a letter will be framed containing their findings and con clusions. This will be distributed Friday evening among the members of their unions. By this means from 10,000 to 15,000 men will be reach ed in a couple of days. Most °0 of these . men are located in Portland, while a large number live in Baker, Astoria and several other towns. A. H. Harris, editor of the I^abor Press, and who has stood by the University nobly, said: "You certainly need more money and you will find the skilled unions in favor of it when they become acquainted with the actual conditions." The Eugene branch of the Colle giate Alumnae of America, which re ceived its national charter last spring, will hold its first meeting at the home of Mrs. E. W. Allen, 1142 Al der street, on next Saturday after noon. The members will spend the afternoon In study of the constitu tion of the national organization. The Freshmen girls at the Univer sity of Wisconsin will wear green buttons as a distinguishing mark. STAC JOYS TO ENLIVEN DORN 200 MEN TO GATHER FOR BIG SMOKER ON FRIDAY EVENING CIDER TO FLOW FREELY <3tunt£, Wrestling Matches, Pu gilistic Encounters, °Smokyig and Snappy Speeches to Be Blended Into Rally for Game. Two hundred "good fellows" will get together at the Dormitory Fri day evening, the night before the first big game, for the Smoker, the first of the kind ever given to all the men of the University. All of the Stag joys of the Smoker will be afforded, including fetes-of-anns and several short, snappy speeches to arouse enthusiasm for the game. After the program, including pu gilistic encounters, wrestling mat ches and stunts, steins, even kegs of delicious apple cider with hundreds of doughnuts will be served. Coaches Bezdek and Hayward will give short talks. The first boxing match of the eve ning will be Hamstreet vs. Watkins, a lightweight bout that is expected to prove exciting. Frederick Hard esty, the Astoria welterweight, will meet Donald. Pattee and King will “pull off’ a heavyweight fight. The bantam weight match Is to be the “piece de resistance” of the eve ning. Sommer, the clever little box er from Portland, will meet Signor Carlos Naylor of Panama. Both have been training hard and are in perfect condition for the bout. The wrestling matches will be between Dal King and Pattee, heavyweights, and Lyons and Schaffner, light weights. When the knocked-out pugilists have been revived and the champ ions awarded the belts, when every one has a kindly feeling toward ev eryone else due to the presence of the cider and doughnuts inside, then it will be time to smoke. When everyone is hoarse from singing and yelling, the fragrant smoke of the Havanas, the P. A. in the Jimmy pipes, and the cigarettes Is expected to be most soothing. This will be fhe most delightful hour of the en tire evening, when the warriors will make touchdowns in the clouds of. smoke. HYDE BOOSTS FOR DANCE "To have or not to have a band, rests with the support given by the students at trie matinee benefit dance Friday," said Maurice Hyde, presi dent of the organization, today.
