OREGON u> EMERALD VOL. XV. EUGENE. OREGON, TUESDAY. DEC. 2, 1913 No. XXVIII. GRADS WANT CAMPUS GAME HOME CONFLICTS NEEDED TO DEVELOP SPIRIT SAYS MOORES 0. OF W. CONTEST EXCEPTION Conscensus of Opinion Is That Oregon-O. A. C. Annual Foot ball Struggle Should Take Place in School Towns. The Oregon Emerald, Eugene, Or.: To the Editor—Do you folks there on the campus realize that the Ore gon alumni in Portland are anxious to see at least some of the vital games of the football schedule re turned to the Eugene field? In times past, for reasons which seemed apparent, it was thought that the Portland graduates wished that as many games as possible be played in their resident city but, if the sense of the latest official alumni meeting in Portland may be taken as a true criterion, a correction of that gen eral impression is pertinent just at this time. Alumni Discuss Matters. On the Thursday evening preced ing the recent Oregon-Washington game in Portland a good-sized repre sentation of Oregon University grad uates, including men as loyal as any that ever earned diplomas anywhere, gathered in a private assembly room at the University Club to see if they couldn’t do some little bit to help Oregon conquer Washington and, rather incidentally, to discuss other matters pertaining to the institution that is dearest of all to them. To have heard several of the speeches that evening would have sent thrills through any one who has made as many as a half dozen semester hours at Oregon. uregon spirit wouia lie Better. When the proposed restoration of the original, unadulterated Oregon Spirit was broached by the early pio neer graduates in their talks, argu ment after argument was advanced for the return of campus games. It was held that the reinstatement of home games with the Oregon Agricul tural College, for instance, would do much to inspire the desired awaken ing of a famous spirit, that has but naturally lain somewhat latent dur ing the threatening chill of one refer endum cloud gfter another. Of late, as all know, the games with Wash ington have been played in Portland, as well as the annual Turkey day game with Multnomah, and the games with the Oregon Agricultural Col lege have been played in Albany, which, in consequence, is coming to be known as the football capital of Oregon. Now what ° chance does friend spirit have to as°sert° and per petuate itself on fields that are fop . ° ° eign to college tradition and environ ment? Of course, Tt is well to hav^ one or two games in Portland each year. The writer believes that the Portland alumni strongly favor the staging of the Oregon-Washington game in Portland but, judging from the unanimous sentiment expressed at the recent alumni gathering, he feels certain that they do not favor playing any games at Albany. If the games are to be played off the local campus why not bring them to Port land? But. best of all, take the Ore gon-Aggie game back to Eugene every other year. At the Universtiy Club meeting Martin Hawkins expressed himself characteristically as follows: “From my own selfish standpoint I would like to have the Univeristy-Agricul tural College game brought to Port land where I may see it without ex (Continued on page 4) JOHNNY PARSONS TO LEAD 1914 FOOTBALL Two Year All Northwest Half Back Is Chosen Next Year’s Captain John F. Parsons was elected cap tain of the 1914 football team at a meeting of this year's letter men in O the men’s gymnasium yesterday0after noon. 0 0 . Parsons is a Junior in the Univer sity, having played two'years on the varsity as an all-Northwest halfback. Entering Oregon in the fall of 1911, after having gone through a hard siege of typhoid fever in Alaska dur ing the summer, Parsons turned out for football but, under this handicap, was unable to come up to his past standard. The next season, how ever, he came back strong and has been in the limelight for the last two years. Johnny is considered the greatest ground gainer in the North west. He, is particularly noted for his shifty open field running, having made a touchdown through the en tire Washington line in the recent' Oregcn-Washington game. Parsons received his preparatory football experience at Salem High School, Lincoln High School, Seattle, and Washington High School, Port land, playing star ball at all three institutions. Parsons is 22 years old, weighs 16 0 pounds net and stands five feet nine inches. After the election yes terday afternoon, Chief Photographer Tuttle took a few pictures of the team in football armour.

WINS IN LAST GAME MULTNOMAH HUSKIES BEAT OREGON 19-0 IN THANKS GIVING GAME FIELD 18 A VAST SEA OF MUD ■ « ' .0 l Parsons and Cornell Only Fail on Touchdowns by Slipping on Wet Surface. Club De pends on Line Plunges. (By Raeman T. Fleming) Weight is said not to count for much in football under tire new rules, and that is true to a certain extent, but the combination of weight and a wet field was the cause of Oregon's defeat at the hands of the Multno mah team on Thanksgiving day. The field was wet in the afternoon before the game started but in spite of this the team made a good show ing in the first quarter and played Multnomah about an even game until the rain set in and made the soggy field slippery on the surface. Mult nomah did not try any open play at all but rather massed their plays through the line with two men for interference. The Oregon men fought hard and gamely but the odds were too great against them. The heavy players of the Multnomah team wore them out and soon were able to make yardage almost at will; although they made only two or three long runs and these were negotiated by Keck, former O. A. C. star. He kept his feet in grand style considering the cohdition of the field. Oregon was on the defense most of the time as they were forced to pnnt every time they gained posses sion of the ball. It looked as if Par sons would get away for a touch down once, but he slipped and fell and was pounced on by two Multno mah men before he had time to re gain his feet. Another time Cornell nearly got away for a run with a clear field but he fell over one of the men in the interference who had slipped and fallen. Fenton’s punting was consistently good and he outpuuted Keck of the Multnomah team by a safe margin. The Multnomah team did not make as many points as they might have, had they been able to kick goals. They missed the first two, only suc ceeding in getting the ball over the bar after the last touchdown. The final score was 19 to 0. OREGON SONG CONTEST ° o Q ° o o 0 Only Three Songs Submitted; and These From Members of Alumni POORLY SUPPORTED o Only three contributions have been made, so far, in the Oregon Alma Mater song contest, which closes De cember 10th. These have all come from alumni, and no indications of response from the students has been shown. The songs are in the hands of Norma Dobie, Student Body Sec retary, and, according 10 Student Body President Vernon Motschen bacher, only one is conisdered as meriting its adoption as an'Oregon song, and that one is only a fair spe cimen. “I would like to receive a hundred contributions from Oregon students. It is a matter of school loyalty, and the prizes are sufficient to warrant ready response. There is plenty of time yet, and I hope that by Decem j ber 10th we will have a great number j to choose from.” FIRST CLUB TRIP SUCCESS MANAGER RICE DECLARES AUDIENCES APPRECIAT IVE, THOUGH, SMALL TRIP SERVES AS A TRY,OUT ‘ v ' Inducements Offered for Future Visits. Stunts Well Received; Soloist Albert Gillette Ap plauded. “Although not a financial success, the Glee Club’s recent- trip through Willamette valley towns was most satisfactory,” said Don Rice, man ager of the Club. "Inclement weath er and the hastily prepared arrange ments, thus not giving ample time to advertise were serious drawbacks. Another thing to be considered was that these were places unvisited by the Club in former itineraries, and I consider that we did well under the circumstances. The audiences were appreciative and gave us the assur ance that we were wanted there. Bonuses of money were offered as an inducement to visit them again next year. “The trip served also as a tryout,” continued Rice. “With the experi ences gained from these concerts the Club is in a better shape to face critical audiences in the larger towns of. the state.” The next club concert will be given in Eugene, Friday night, December 12. The club, on the trip last week, gave concerts in Independence, Mc Minnville, Silverton and Woodburn. Everywhere the men were cordially received, and made to feel that the people were thoroughly in sympathy with the University, and that future visits of the club would be welcomed. In each town, several high school students asserted their intentions of attending the University next year, and spoke of school mates whose plans were the same. Professor Ralph Lyman, though not thoroughly satisfied with the showing of the club on its first trip, thought the initial performances were good, and a satisfactory crite rion for future corrections. Inci dentally he said that the men consti tuted the most gentlemanly bunch he had ever traveled with, and that they showed a very commendable spirit throughout. The Glee Club stunts, “Oldtlme Vaudeville,” by Shaver and Cowden; “Caught with the Goods,” by Jerard •and^Batley;. and' the<iXylophone°solo by Apperson, "were flatteringly re ceived in each0 instance. The solo work by Albert Gdilejte was espe cially applauded, and many flatter jug comments passed on the young singer’s ability. The club will make its tour of Eastern Oregon and Western Idaho during Xmas vacation. 9 “STRIFE” IS NEXT READING Professor Iteddie to Interpret Gals worthy's Play Tonight. Professor A. F. Reddle will con tinue his series of readings with Galsworthy's well known play, "Strife,” which he will read this evening in Deady.

SMOKER DEC. 6 Program of Stunts Arranged for Affair Which Is Given Annually Freedom, frivolity, Fatimas and frosh will predominate at the annual smoker to the men of the entering class to be given by the Kappa Sigma freshmen December (!. Kvery wear er of a green turban, without regard to raee, color, or previous condition of servitude, is invited to be present at the Kappa Sig house, 11th and Alder streets, on that evening.

The management refuses to state whether or not the cabaret specialty which scored such a success last year will be repeated, but it promises several surprises. Tis is the only occasion on which th’e first-year men mingle, unrestrained by feminine influences. f\ '» MUSIC LOVERS ENJOY V^REGfTAl LAST/NIGHT o o , ,* o Fannie Bloqmfield Zeisler Pleas e°s With Poetic and Ar tistic Feeling (By Nellie Murphy) Eugene musicians were particular ly fortunate In having heard Madame Fanny Bloomfield Zeisler at the Christian church Monday evening. Her crescendos and diminuendos were remarkable in finesse of detail and perfectness of pianissimo. Madame Ziesler's work showed much intellect and refinement and was an inspiration to every lover of music. Those who heard Madame Carreno can compare and note the difference in their style of playing, Carren'o’s playing being magnificent and full of warmth, while Zeisler’s was marked by the poetic and artistic feeling. Most beautiful were the interpreta tions of the Sonata op. lie, by Chopen and the chorus of Dancing Dervishes from the “Ruins of Athens,” by Beethoven. The Sophomores at the University of Nebraska have voted to wear class caps. “0" MEN ON PAPER TEAM CORNELL, PARSONS AND FENTON DEEMED BEST FOR THEIR POSITIONS O «. OF W.

GAME ADDS $665 TO “U” TREASURY The graduate-manager’s coffers are a little over $600 to the good as a result of the Multnomah-Oregon game, although this is far below the amount which would have been tak en in had the day been more ideal for football. The total receipts for the game were $2847. Multnomah received 25 per cent of the total gate receipts for the rent of the field and all outside this with the exception of the general expenses was divided equally be tween the two institutions. Oregon received $1015 as her share. Our expenses for the game amounted to about $35 0 which leaves a balance of $665. i
