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 line up:
Seniors. Juniors.

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.

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.

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

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.
