FLOWERS BRffiHTEN TABLE WHERE GLADIATORS TRAIN Theta’s Gift of Huge Bouquet of Chrysanthemums Appreciated by Bezdek’s Varsity String The path of a football player, par ticularly if he be a member of Bez dek’s hard working squad, is not gen erally strewn with flowers. However, the dinners at the training table at the Dormitory found an exception Wednesday evening. Tired and sore from the night’s practice, the ahamps-to-be wriggled out of their mud-soaked uniforms and into their ordinary clothes as quickly as possible, and made for Mrs. Pres cott’s establishment with all the speed numerous “Charley horses” would permit. Visions of good warm “eats” were in the mind of each hungry ath lete, but no one was prepared for the surprise in store for them. In the center of the table a huge bouquet of chrysanthemums radiated good cheer over the entire board. It bore a card bearing the compliments of Kappa Alpha Theta. The boys were warm in their thanks—which goes to show that a live football play er appreciates such a remembrance just as much as a dead one would— and there will be none of the latter on Bezdek’s payroll. DITCH BECOMES CMUL Rain God’s Offerings Convert Cam pos Bugbear Into a Trap for the Unwary A ditch about five feet wide and twelve feet deep in places, running like a gigantic scar across the east ern end of the campus is the latest This crime was committed in the name of repairs to the old system of heat ing. It resembles a baronial moat in appearance, and if old Jupe Pluvius gets busy with his sprinkling can the Dorm men intend to further this illusion by puting a few ducks on the surface and planting water lilies. This miniature Panama is spanned by sun dry substitutes for bridges which no Caesar could describe. A spidery looking structure, closely resembling a twelve-legged tent pole of a species now extinct, is used to gain access to McClure HalL An enterprising “Frosh” has already dubbed it “The Bridge of Sighs." In front of the Dorm is a collec tion of planks which make a sort of draw bridge. The planks being few and far between, there are many chances for the unwary to slip, slide, or whatever method they prefer, into the bottom of the trench. At the bot tom those who have been there say there is a sticky, runny conglomera tion of clay, glue, and Russian ce ment One Frosh on returning home from a dance mistook the lake for a walk. Of course he had on his new dancing pumps. And yet some people say there’s no such thing as luck. VESPER SERVICE SUNDAY Prsident Campbell Will Speak and University Talent Will Fur nish Music Vesper services will be held in Vil lard Hall tomorrow from 4:30 to 5:30. President Campbell will speak on “The Individual and the Social Complex." Reverend H. W. Davis, of the Baptist church will read a scripture lesson and lead in prayer. There will be special music by the Vesper Choir, un der the direction of Professor Lyman. Ben Huntington, '08, candidate for Clerk of Douglas County, was in town on business the past ten days. 4 J. MUS AND INJURIES PLAY HAVOC IN BEZDEK CAME Conference Mey Open Without Preliminary Games—Secret Practiei is Order of The Day—Training Table May Undergo a Shake up—Seven Men Are Laid-up Two things are absolutely certain in the football situation here. One is that there will be no preliminary games whatsoever before the regular schedule commences. The other is that there will not be any superabun dance of optimism in Bezdek’s camp. The later condition is occasioned by the rapidly) increasing list of injured and the fact that Kincaid Park and J. Pluvius do not seem to be on very good terms. It looks like the rainy season has set in for fair. Besides Crowell and Bigbee, who have been out for some time, Trainer Hayward has the following patients: Cornel, Gellison, Cawley, Nelson, Teg. gart, Powrie,'and Beckett. All the injuries except those to Cor nell and Nelson, who are suffering from bhd knees, are minor; but even minor injuries are detrimental to the rapid development of team work. Cor nell probably will not be able to get back into harness for a week. These circumstances put the team about a week behind time, and time is precious at this stage of the game. Secret practice has been the order of things for the entire past week. Coaches and players have been work ing hard, very hard; but the material is green and the progress has not been what it should be. The person, nel of the team is being: changed near ly every night The last machine, as seen in actibh Friday and Satur day, is: Risley, center; Cook, right guard; Philbin, right tackle; Powrie, right end; Snyder, left guard; Cawley, left tackle; Weist, left end; Sharpe, quarter; Malarkey', left half; Parsons, right half; Bryant, fullback. This is merely a temporary lineup however. For the last few nights emphaeie has been laid upon signals; but every man was told to appear in suit at 2:00 o’clock today. Practice will taae form of a game between first and sec ond teams. The public will not he ad mitted to this game. There has been only one change in the training table so far; Risley was added Thursday night. Sharpe ie booked for one of the choice berths in the very near future. Coach Bezdek says that he intends to make more changes very shortly. “Some of the men that are on the table are not do ing us any good. They will be re placed by others who are more deserv ing.” UNIVERSITY OF NEVflOA’TREXY” VISITS A. W. Hendrick Holds Conference With President Campbell and Journalism Profesaors A. W. Hendrick, the newly installed president of the University of Neva da, at Reno, came to Eugene Wed nesday morning for a conference with President P. L. Campbell and the Pro fessors of the Journalism Department. Dr. Hendrick was formerly Dean of Whitman College, at Walla Walla. At noon, President Hendrick and Professor C. V. Dyment left on the P. E. & E. for a brief visit to the Agricultural College at Corvallis. Dr. Hendrick and Mr. Dyment are both University of Toronto men. The for mer was a Senior when the latter was a freshman, and the two are bound to gether by a long-existing friendship. President Hendrick says the Euro pean war has greatly slackened the operation of the Nevada mines, cut ting off the market for metals and making'it almost imposible to obtain the necessary cyanide. He predicts great growth for the state of Nevada, however, both through the extension of the mining industry and through the bringing of more land under ditch for cultivation. He says his policy as President of the State University will include the strengthening of the school of mines, and the broadening of cours es on a basis of general culture. You’ll find that education’s the only thing lying around loose in this world, and it’s about the only thing that a fellow can have as much of as he is willing to haul away. Everything else is screwed down tight and the screwdriver lost. Two new gymnasiums, one for men and the other for a woman’s build ing, to cost approximately $210,000, wil be started at Stanford this week. The new structures will be of faced brick, harmonizing with the general color scheme and architecture of the University buildings. PRESIDENT IS HOST TO 38 SOPHOMORES Participants In Alleged Violation of Anti-Hasing Rule Warned to Mend Their Ways An even three dozen Sophomores, indicted ‘for hazing, filled President Campbell’s office yesterday afternoon, and were released after an admonish ment by the President and Dean Straub, and after their promise to re frain from any future activities in the way of enforcing Freshman disci pline. The alleged hazing consisted in the marching of some 75 Frosh down town to purchase their green caps, a cus tom which has been followed among the fraternities for the past four years. The parade took place the morning of September 16, and was followed by a large number of upper classmen and outside spectators, in addition to the Sophomore escort. The President and Dean maintained that the parade, particularly in its more spectacular features, such as the “missing link,” violated the faculty edict Against hazing. They also said that several Eugene citizens had ob jected to the exhibition* one woman having declared her intention of re fusing to allow her son to enter the University on its account. The Sophomores disclaimed any in. tention to break the statutes, and said the parade was an annual custom and was a source of rare pleasure to the Freshmen. Closing tiie meeting, President Campbell placed the 38 Sophomores on probation. He stated that any fu ture, violation of the anti-hazing rule by one of the company will automat ically relieve him of the burden of p re pa rig his college recitations. In spite of the meeting, there was no absence of the usual attentions shown the pilgrims to the Freshman acquaintance party last night. A large crowd, composed of members of all three higher classes and many non (Continued on page 4.) FROStt BAIT DOESN'T TAKE; SOPHOMORES SMELL RAT Rock% Lemons and Ice Creamleas Freeaer Don’t Appeal to “Un invited” Guests “He who laughs last laughs best.” This trite expression had another application at the Freshman acquain tance party last night with the Fresh man class, the Sophomores, an ice cream freeser and two lemons as the principals. » This is the way it happened: The Freshmen, remembering last year’s acquaintance party, when the ice cream was stqlen by the Sophs, and solicitous lest there be a recurrence of the same incident this year, placed* two lemons in an empty ice cream packer, put the packer in a freezer, and weighted the whole with rocks. The freezer was placed in the kitch en of the Gamma Phi house, where it might be conspicuous to the eyes of the second year men. The Freshmen awaited develop ments. But no Sophomore came. The “ice cream” moveth not At the latest report, the Frosh were still waiting.

U OF«PROPOSES TARIFF Stanford and Oregon Have Yet to Sub mit Questions for Debate “Tariff’ has been submitted by the University of Washington as the ques tion for the triangular debate between Stanford, Washington and Oregon Universities, to be held the second week in March. Mr. Prescott, Debate Coach, said yesterday that the subject for this debate is under consideration, await ing the question to be proposed by Stanford and U. of O. “Each Uni versity submits a topic for debate,’’ said Mr. Prescott, “the final subject being decided by an affirmative vote of two of the three institutions. A second vote is taken upon the phras ing of the question. The University of Oregon will send a team to Stan ford; Stanford will send one to Se attle; and Washington will send 4 team to Eugene.’’ “A debate council was created last spring,” continued Mr. Prescott. “Its duties and powers toward the debate correspond to those of the Athletic Council toward athletics.” The high school debating league, composed of the eight districts of the state, will debate on one question thiB year.
