OREGON EMERALD PUBLISHED THREE TIMES A WEEK UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY, SEPT. 26, 1914. VOLUME XVI, No. 4 “CAUUIITY” A WORD NOT INi"BILL’S” VOGABULIUIY iAYWARD SMILES AS RECORD BREAKERS SHOW UP AT OREGON JILL TRACK MEN OUT MONDAY Oregon’s Optimist Coach Says Pros pects Are the Best He Has Been Fall track work will be officially launched next Monday afternoon when Hayward’s bunch of athletes, near-, athletes and aspirants for track fame will make their initial appearance on Kincaid Field. This early season work will be in the nature of work-outs the develop ment of form and of style. Later cross country running will be taken up. “If a team beats us tills year, it must be up and coming; the prospects are good better, than they have ever been at this time of year since I have been here at the University,” says Bill Hayward. “No bear story. With most of the old men back, and with an abundance of new material, the prospects are great. This is straight goods.” The first meet of the season is scheduled for October 17, when an inter-class contest will be held. All of the regular events will be contested at that time. With most of last year’s champi onship team back and some of the oth |(ers yet to be heard from, the pros Ipects are of the brightest kind. Of last year’s team, Boylen, Loucks, Payne, Nelson Heidenreich, Ham street, Parsons and Fee have already registered. Cook and Stuller and Me Uonnel will also De nere m time to take up the regular work. There is also an abundance of new material in the present Freshman class. Goreczky, of Columbia, and Wilson, of Washington High, both with good “prep” reputations for the sprints, and Muirhead for the hurdles and high jump, are among the high lights in the baby class. There are many other “diamonds in the rough” that will doubtless show some speed as soon as they get into action. Second ant third place men, pole raulters and javelin men are needed >efore a perfect team can be sent on he field. womeIsIeeclub HOLDS IBY OUT Virginia Peterson Prophesies Banner Year; Professor Lyman Prom ises Club Several Trips { The first tryout of the Women’s Glee Club was held Wednesday afternoon n Villard Hall.

This year’s champion of the simple fare is Peter Crockett. It will be remembered that Leon Ray, ’12, famous in forensics, built a shack in Fairmount, in which he spent his foTir-year study period. Crockett has rented this shack for the school year, and will move his goods and chattels to that residence in the next few days. By economical bach ing, Crockett intends to materially reduce the cost of a college education. In addition to being a debater, Crock ett is also a devout soecerite, and will try out for this year’s team. During the past two years, Crockett has been out of college and has been located at Wasco, where he was preaching. Crockett is a member of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity. MEN’S GLEE CLUB TO HAVE,TWENTY SINGERS Trip to Salem State Fair Thursday to be Made by Some of the Members With a limitation of twenty men placed on the number that will com prise the Glee Club this year, the work of selection becomes no easy task, ac cording to Professor Ralph Lyipan. “This is especially true of the second tenor division, which was most hotly contested. The work is slow, but steady.” me tryouts oi tne last two weeas have boiled down the number to 24, six in each of the four sections. Twelve of these are new members. The next contest, which will be held on Monday, at 4:00 o’clock, in Villard Hall, the old as well as the new members will have to contend for their places. An elimination process will then ensue un til the 20 mark is reached. The new men that are asked to re port on Monday are: first tenors, Harry Hargreaves, Pete Sexton and Paul Sprague; second tenors, Homer Kellems, Walter Church and R. Stan ton; baritones, Gus Scholl, William Vawter; second bass, Curtis Reach, Howard McCullough, Harold Ham street and Don Newberry. A new and unique feature will be introduced at the Salem State Fair by ten Glee Club men, who are to be an attraction for one day. The day assigned is Thursday of next week. The men will be under the protection of the state officials. All expenses in curred during the trip will be de frayed by them. “The value of the advertising that the University will receive in this way will be great,” said Professor Lyman. “As yet, I haven’t selected the men, but in all probability they will include the old members of the Glee Club.” “The rumor to the effect that tlje Glee Club will appear at the San Fsan cisco Fair next year is a possibility,” added Professor Lyman. “If we are insured the proper backing, the trip will be taken, by all means. The scheme, however, is in its infancy at the present, and therefore I cannot say very much about it.” Crew Coach Hiram B. Conibear has adopted a new policy in aquatics at the University of Washington this year, by which men not physically able to turn out for the Varsity may obtain all the benefits of crew with out the hard training season of the Varsity turnout.

Washington football stock has ad vanced fifty per cent as the result of Ex-Captain Anderson and Ray Hunt, two stars of last year, turning out for the game again this season. An derson is expected to fill one of the taickle positions, and Hunt mayi take up his old place at the end of the line. Even Dobie is almost ontimistic. Dobie’s “bear stories” about light weight, raw and green material count for little when the true strength of his squad is known. With the return of Hunt, Washing ton has last year’s set of ends. Hunt and Leader, battling for place against such material as Savage, from the 1913 second team, Jack Abrams, the big Spokane boy, and Murphy, who attracted much notice while at Wal lace, Idaho. Seagraves is back in the same guard position as he occupied for the past two years, with Van de Bogart, a heavy weight, in the other guard. Elmer Leader, another vet eran, is reported to be better than ever at the tackling post. These old timers of the Dobie school have no cinch on their places, however, for ac cording to reports, Shively, a former University of Chicago man, and Wruck, a star from Lincoln High, are hot contenders for place* on the line. The matter of center is being fought out between Jolliffe and Gallatley, who are new men but who are report, ed to be heavy and exceptionally fast. No one but Dobie has a complaint to enter as to line material, and there are grounds for such, to the paper “dopester” at least. For a time Captain Walter Shiel was playing on the line, but with this wealth „of line material, Dobie has seen fit to shift him to fullback again. The old timers, “Hap” Miller and No ble, are playing halves for the pres ent, but they are hard pushed for a regular position by Chapman, a man who played under Dobie two years ago. Smith and Bud Young are tak ing care of the quarterback job. Figures show that Dobie's “pea green flock of would-bes” is made up of no better than nine stars from Washington’s champion Varsity of 1913, with contenders for every other position who have more or less “Do bie education.” “Wise guys” around the University of Washington are dop ing Abrams, Wruck and Jolliffe to ad Continued on page 8. BIG MEN PRIMING FOR OREGON WHITMAN GAME BEZDFK KEEPS LINEUP DARK Huskies Est One Bounteous Feast Per Day at Dorm; Two Later By Harry Kuck. T-bone season' has “arriv.” Fif teen very deserving young men, led by Captain Johhny Parsons, became the dinner guests of the University in the newly built addition to the Men’s Dormitory Thursday evening. The men fortunate enough to oome under Trainer Bill Hayward’s cars thus early in the season are Capt. Parsons, Cornell, Bryant, Malarkey, Weist, Beckett, Philbin, Powrie, Mit chell, Snyder, Nelson, Garrett, Mon teith, Cawley and Cornwall. Training table is starting much earlier this season than for several years past. The plan is to conduct the table once a day, in the evening after practice, for some time, and then probably after the schedule opens up two meals a day will be served. A glance over the table some evening would convince any dubious personages as to the desirability of owning a meal ticket at the“Beefers’ Lunch.” “Bill sure orders fine meals, and there is likely to be a lively con test among the rest of the squad for the “T-bones,” salads and other good things provided, for Coach Bezdek says that other men yrill be added as soon as they show theV deserve it. Up to date, the squad has not met with a single serious injury. Trainer Hayward says that all the men are in fine condition, and here is where he has it on the rest of ’em, for ev ery other team in the conference has at least one good man out of prac tices on account of injuries received in scrimmages. A glance over the football sched ule will show that Oregon has a very strenuous season before her. After October 3rd, upon which date Mult nomah will probably be the contend ing foe, although this is not a settled fact as, November 7th is the only va cant Saturday during the entire sea son. The big game with O. A. C. on November 21 is to be played in Port land this year, where it is expected to be a big drawing card. Graduate Manager Tiffany expects a large fi nancial return as a result of staging the contest in the metropolis. Coach Bezdek has repeatedly re frained from giving out a line-up, and indications are that no one will be absolutely sure of a place before the whistle blows for the first game. At present, last year’s quartet, Cornell at quarter, Parsons and Malarkey as halves, and Btryant fullback, seem to have the edge upon the backleld posi tions, although Monteith, Bigbee, Huntington and Cornwall are all strong contenders for the old guards’ jobs. The center niche seems to lie between Nelson and Risley, with Nel son the favorite. For guards, Phil bin and Powrie look the most likely, although Cawley is playing a bang up game, too. Beckett and Snyder are being used pretty regularly in the tackle berths, although Teggart will make a good bid for one of the jobs. Weist is looked upon as a fixture upon one end, and the other extremity job seems to lie between Mitchell and Garrett. According to Debate Coach William LaFolLette, Washington’s prospects for honors in the intercollegiate events are a great deal better than they were last year. BEN DORBIS CALLS CLASS MEETING FOR MONDAY Senior Lord Kitchener Lets Fail Weighty Words on Merits of Senior Class Ben F. Dorris Jr., President of the Senior class, has begun to mobilize his scarred and scattered forces for the year’s campaign. The heroes of a hundred conflicts with the faculty will assemble at 4:00 P. M. Monday for the first meetini of the year. When seen yesterday in his pri vate office, from which, he controls the destinies of the Harriman railroad system, President Dorris simultane ously removed his feet from the desk and his El Sidelo from his mouth, and condescended the following inter view: “The class of 1916, although few in numbers, is undoubtedly the great est that was ever known or ever will be known at the University. At the end of the present year we shall be able to say, in the words of the Apos tle Paul and Sam Friendly, ‘We have fought a great fight; victory is ours.” Ben pronounced these words quite calmly, as if he actually expected the reporter to believe them. “As to the issues which will be dis cussed at Monday’s meting,” contin ued the Senior Lord Kitchener, “they are so momentous that I dare not di vulge them. However, I urge every member of our august class to grace the assemblage with his presence.” With this the great mangate dis missed the reporter and returned to his business cares. When last seen, he was dictating his official corres pondence to half a dozen perspiring stenographers. It is rumored that, to show his af fection for the class and the Univer sity, Dorris himself will register be fore Monday’s meeting. 300 ATTEND V.M. 111 INFORMAL REGEPTKUI LOMBARD PRESIDES IN ABSENCE OF TOMMY BOYLEN The Y. M.-Y. W. C. A. reception was held Friday evening in Villard Hal. The general custom of having a formal receiving line was not fol lowed, but a “mixing committee," com posed of members of the faculty, the Associations' Cabinets and Charley Koyl, received the guests and saw that people became acquainted.

M. “Taking ev erything into consideration, the mix showed the results of more work and thought on the part of the different committees. The mixing, which is really the chief aim of the reception, was far more successful than in pre vious years.” About 300 guests were present. Ice cream and cakes were served.
