DEBATE TEAMS
MEET FRIDAY
RESPONSIBILITY FOR NA
TIONAL BUDGET IS
QUESTION
ONE TEAM GOES TO SEATTLE
Affirmative Side Taken by Ore
gon Here—Second Team Has
Negative Against University
of Washington.
The University of Oregon Debat
ing team will meet the Stanford rep
resentatives in their fourth annual
contest here, tomorrow evening, at
eight o’clock, in Villard Hall.
The question to be discussed is
"Resolved, That the Executive De
partment should be made responsi
ble for the National Budget.”
Fred Hardesty and Victor Morris,
both members of the Junior class,
will uphold the affirmative for Ore
gon. The names of the Stanford
representatives have not been re
ceived.
On the same night in Seattle, a
second Oregon team will debate with
representatives of the University of
Washington, on the same subject.
This team, which consists of Bert
Lombard and Dal King will have the
negative.
Words Are Defined.
“A definition of the word ‘respon
sible,’ as stated in the question,
might be of interest,” said R. W.
Prescott, debate coach, yesterday.
“It is agreed that the term ‘responsi
ble,’ withip the meaning of this reso
lution, shall be interpreted as laying
upon the Executive the duty of in
troducing the budget into Congress,
the right being reserved to" Congress
to amend by reducing items only.
“Dal King is the only man on the
team who has had previous experi
ence,” declared Mr. Prescott, “how
ever, we hope to overcome the hand
icap of inexperienced speakers. The^
boys have worked hard and all those
present on Friday night will hear an
excellent debate.”
Judges Are Chosen.
Judges for the debate are to be
chosen by John C. Veatch, of Port
land, acting for Oregon, and F. H.
Hilton, also of Portland, acting for
Stanford. These men are graduates
of the college which they are repre
senting.
Oregon has been a member of the
Interstate Triangular Debating
League for three years, and last year
won the coast championship by de
feating both Washington and Stan
ford, which had, in turn, defeated
their opponents. Also three years
ago Oregon was champion but the
year before last both debates were
lost.
An annual debate has been held
with Utah for six years, each side
carrying away the winning laurels
three times.

Miss Ida V. Turney has an article
on “English in Elementary Schools”
in the current number of the Oregon

conduct? the usual department on
“Oregon Governmental Affairs.” Dr.

mentary to the recent bulletin on
Parent-Teachers’ Associations. Num

UPPER-CLASSMEN WILL
UNITE IN SMOKER TONIGHT
Men From Clubs and Fraterni
ties to Discuss Plans for
Better Harmony
The upperclassmen of the differ
ent clubs and fraternities of the Uni
versity will meet tonight at 7:30 at
the Eugene Commercial club for the
purpose of discussing tentative plans
for the formation of some sort of a
fraternity council at Oregon. The
affair tonight will take the form of a
smoker according to those in charge.
The subject of a fraternity council
is one that has been agitated among
the various organizations for several
months past, and at the present time
it is thought that some definite ac
tion may result from a meeting of
the upperclassmen of these organiza
tions.
Coach Bezdek will be present at
the meeting tonight and will proba
bly give his views on the subject.
“The purpose of this smoker tonight
is merely of a ‘get-to-gether’ na
ture,” said Del Stannard today. Al
lie Grout, Don Rice, Vernon Motsch
enbacher and Willard Shaver all ex
pressed the same idea. Motschen
bacher said, “I think such a meeting
is necessary at this time. With the
aid of tobacco smoke and cider, a
friendly discussion of the whole ef
fect of the present fraternity system
at Oregon can be held and any plans
for-the future can be also discussed.”

13 SOCCER PLAYERS TO
GO ON PORTLAND TRIP
Will Play Columbia University
There Next Saturday
Afternoon
A list of the 13 soccer football
men chosen for the Portland trip,
to play Columbia University, was
posted in the gymnasium at 4 o’clock
this afternoon, and the men were
notified to be at the Oregon Elec
tric depot in time for the 7:35 train
Saturday morning. The men who
will make the first trip of the soccer
squad away from home are these:
Ralston, Campbell, Hendricks, Am
spoker, Dinneen, Wilhelm, Boylen,
Tuerek, Pearson, Ford, Nelson, Rel
fel and Spellman (captain).
The team was chosen this morn
ing by Captain Spellman and Mr.
Dyment.
The game will begin at 2:15
o’clock Saturday afternoon on Mult
nomah field. The referee will prob
ably be James H. Mackie, savings
teller of the Security bank, who two
years ago was Mr. Dyment’s partner
as a fullback on the Multnomah club
eleven. Mackie is strict in his rul
ings as to personal fouls and the
Oregon men are being warned to put
away absolutely shoving, holding and
tripping tactics, to which some of
them are still addicted, and to sub
stitute clean body checking.
Multnomah field is a nearly per
fect soccer pitch. It is regulation
length and width, and is arched. The
only thing needed to insure a fine
exhibition on it during dry weather
is two good teams.
The Oregon squad will face a
harder proposition Saturday than it
did last week, and if it succeeds in
getting even a tie there will be gen
eral satisfaction.
PROF. DUNN WILL GIVE
TALK TO JOURNALISTS
“How Modern Cartoonists Are
Treating Ancients," to Be
Subject

Treating the Ancients,” will be the
subject of a lecture which Prof. P. 8.

ism classes will meet there Instead of

Cartoons by many of the eminent
cartoonists of today will be thrown
on the screen. A majority of them
will be draw’ings of the ancients such
as Caesar, Demosthenes and others.
Professor Dunn will speak on the
cartoons and will show how the mod
ern cartoonist of today, whose pic
tures are so much in demand, has
used the ancients for his subjects.
The lecture will be of a humorous
nature as the subject would indicate.
Ben Dorris is in Portland securing
advertisements for the Oregana.
VARSITY WINS
FROM GRADS.
10-1ISSOORE. JAMISON GETS
BEARS’ ONLY RUN ON
FOUR-PLY SWAT
WELCH, BRYANT AGAINST T
Tuerck and Fleming Hold Town
Team Practically Hitless.
Game Not Sufficient to Give
Line on Players.
(By Everett Saunders)
In the first practice game of the
season played yesterday afternoon
between the Varsity and a team com
posed of local players, former Ore
gon stars, Snd present Varsity mate
rial, Coach Bezdek’s men piled up a
score of 11-1 against their oppon
ents. The game was not what the
score indicates except in the third
frame when four hits and three er
rors drove Welch out of the box, and
a hit and three passes off Bryant
and three errors by his team mates
netted Oregon nine runs.
The only run “or the “Bears” was
acquired in the first Inning when
Jamison, forfner Varsity first base
man and now of the Portland Colts,
smashed the first ball Tuerck sent
him over center field for a home run.
The rest of the Bears either fanned
the air or hit into the air-tight mitts
of their opponents.
Both Welch and Bryant worked
well for the BearB except in the fatal
third frame. Tuerck and Fleming
held the town team hitless except for
Jamison’s home run. Coach Bezdek
changed his playerB frequently, test
ing them out in the various positions.
However, after the game he said that
it had not been sufficient to give
him a line on the men.
The lineup:
