Pigskin Logician Befuddled on Dope;
No “Ergo’* Forthcoming Until
O. A. C.-Washington Jangle
By Harry Kuck.
The Oregon-Willamette game will
be staged Friday October 30, at 3:30
o’clock, on Kincaid Field.
The Methodists were originally
^ billed to show here Saturday. Mana
ger Tiffany secured the change in or
der to allow local enthusiasts' to see
both the Willamette game and the 0.
A. C.-Washington tangle at Albany
on October 31 The latter is expected
to be one of the most bitterly fought
contests of the season.
Oregon’s defeat of Idaho was due
to her superiority at open football and
her ability to negotiate passes. Both
touchdowns were directly due to pass
es; Malarkey grabbed an Idaho spi
ral out of the ozone and ran 60 yards
for the first one, and Captain Parsons
scored the other by making a sensa
tional catch of a pass from Beckett.
Aside from these two “breaks,” it
was a hard fought battle all the way
through. The Lemon Yellow line
yielded but little ground, and there
was a noticeable improvement in
^ tackling.
Two surprises were sprung Satur
day; one at Pullman and the other at
Seattle. 0. A. C. was booked to win
from W. S. C. very easily, and on
the contrary was barely able to regis
ter one touchdown. Stewart’s men
were even outplayed a good part of the
time.
At Seattle, Washington was doped
to win from Whitman by about a 40
or 45 to 0 score. However, Dobie’s
crew failed to beat the Missionaries
as badly as Oregon did.
All of which goes to show that it
is very easy to kick over the dope
bucket. The way things stand now,
considering relative scores, Oregon,
Washington and Oregon appear to
be on a par. O. A. C. and Oregon
beat W. S. C. by the same score, 7
^ to 0, and Washington beat Whitman
by approximately the same margin
that Oregon did. A month more will
probably see dope spilled all over.
The officials for the Oregon-Willam
ette game are: Vamell, referee; Sam
Dolan, umpire; Hans Flo, head lines
man.

ANSWER- “60 ASK THE DEAN1
Popularity of Village Belles Greatly
Increased by Latest Edict
of Miss Guppy
No more will the college co-ed ex
ercise her own discretion in accept
in (or rejecting, mayhap) an invita
tion for a canoe ride up the mill race.
Dean Guppy has issued an edict de
claring that official permission must
be secured before any definite action
can be taken.
This limitation comes as a climax to
a series of rules regarding mill-race
parties. A restriction enacted last
year prohibited parties on the his
toric stream after sundown, because
of several near-collisions between
boats in the dark.

MET BY ROOTERS
University Band and Oregon “Osky
Wow Wow” Greet the Home
Coming Team
Two hundred or more rooters gath
ered at the depot Sunday night to
greet the home-coming team. The
University Band played several se
lections, and the Oregon Osky Wow
Wow was given as the train pulled
in, the yell leaders giving their direc
tions from the top of the coaches.
The team was supposed to have ar
rived at 12:25, and the rooters, though
not quite as numerous as at night,
were on hand and gave the Oregon
cheers as the train approached. The
band did its duty, too, and did not
cease to pour.d out Boola, Boola, until
the train stopped and a few straggling
passengers stepped to the platform
and gazed about as if they wondered
what they had done to deserve so
much attention.

EXTENSION COURSES CONTINUE
TO ENJOY POPULARITY
The average attendance at Exten
sion lectures during September and
October was 133. According to Miss
Mozelle Hair, Secretary of the Exten
sion epartment, this average is as
large or larger than that of previous
years.
Freshmen at the University of Ne
braska were disturbed by a raid which
left the streets of the town covered
with hair and their heads lacking any
traces of their former locks. This
has beep a custom at Nebraska for
some time, but it is said that thiB year
the work of harvesting Freshman hair
was done more thoroughly than ever
before.
PANORAMA PICTURE!)) BE T ADEN
TOMORROW ON BASEBALL FIELD
Regular Assembly Hour To Be Given Over To Photographer For
Birds-Eye View of Faculty And Student Body—Photo To Be
Used For Publicity Purposes And Will Be Reproduced In the
Oregana
The panorama picture of the Stu
dent Body and Faculty will be taken
tomorrow morning at 10:00 o’clock in
back of Deady Hall, on the soccer
and baseball held, at the regular as
sembly hour.
C. E. Barclay, a photographer of
Sheridan, Oregon, who has made a
specialty of circuit work and who will
take the picture tomorrow moring,
says: “If there is no delay about the
students turning out, it will not take
more than ten minutes to assemble
and have the picture over with. The
picture itself will be 40 inches long
and eight inches wide.”
The picture will be used by the Ad
ministration Department for publicity
purposes and will also be reproduced
in the Oregana, besides being a valu
able keepsake for each student.
Dr. Smith, Secretary to the Presi
dent, who has taken an interest in the
picture and who worked toward mak
ing it possible, said yesterday: “With
the publicity given the arrangements,
I think it will be safe to anticipate
a crowd of 750.”
As proposed, the Faculty, Seniors,
Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen
will be in sections of three rows in a
circle before the camera. The Ser
geant-at-Arms of the classes will su
perintend marshalling the sections.

STUDENT STEPS SCORED
University of Washington Faculty
Up In Arms Over Syncopated
Style of Dancing
SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. 24—(Spe
cial)—The style of dancing indulged
in by the University of Washington
students was denounced yesterday by
President Henry Landes and fourteen
other faculty members and their
wives in a manifesto to the students.
The letter says t^e faculty members
will decline to serve as patrons of
dances unless the style of dancing is
at once changed. This will be, in ef
fecfy taking away University sanc
tion for the social functions of the
students.
The threat also is implied that
dances will be done away with en
tirely at the University of Washing
ton unless the reform is made.
“The style of dancing we have ob
served at all University social func
tions this year,” reads the letter to
the students, “is neither graceful nor
refined, and is censured not alone by
the members of the faculty, but also
by the conscientious students.
“Further, it is not countenanced by
the National Association of Dancing
Masters, and not approved by repu
table Seattle dancing masters, who
teach a style much less objectiona
ble.”
MEETING OF 1916 CLASS IS
TOMORROW AFTERNOON AT 4
A meeting of the class of 1916 will
be held Wednesday at 4:00 o’clock,
in Dr. Straub’s room. The meeting
will be principally to organize the
campaign for selling this year's “Or
egana” and to discuss plans for it.
A report of the Underclass Mix will
be given, and two matinee dance
dates will be selected and petitioned
for.

Oregon Alumni Labor in Foreign Mis
sionary Field—Local Y. W.
C. A. Will Help Lyman
Thirteen Oregon graduates are en
gaged in missionary and educational
work in foreign lands. They are scat
tered from .one corner of the globe to
the other, some in government edu
cational work, some in Y. M. C. A.
institutions, and still others in the
missionary field.
Harvey Wheeler, '07, and wife, Ruth
Balderree Wheeler, also, ’07, are en
gaged in educational missionary work
at Nagasaki, Japan. During his col
lege course, Mr. Wheeler was an ac
tive member of the Y. M. C. A. and
Laurean Literary Society. This sum*
mer Mr. Wheeler and family visited
in Eugene and on their return voyage
experienced a rather unusual incon
venience, as the Japanese ship on
which they sailed was without a light
aboard, due to the present war sit
uation.
Mark Wheeler, ’07, a brother of
Harvey Wheeler, is now engaged in
missionary work in the interior of
China. While in college he was also
a member of the Y. M. C. A.
W. Gilbert Bieatie, ’07, and wife,
Willa Hanna Beatie, ’96, are now in
the educational work among the Alas
kan Indians at Juneau, Alaska.
Mrs. Elizabeth Logan Ennis, ’02,
is in the missionary field among the
natives of the “Dark Continent.’’ Her
address is Benquella, West Africa.
Clarence A. Steel, ’10, is now Gen
eral Secretary of the Soon Itt Memo
rial Institute for Young Men at Bang
kok, Siam. While in college Mr.
Steel was a member of the cross
country team, the Laurean Society
and the Y. M. C. A. Cabinet. He also
took an active part in Student Body
agairs.
Another graduate to enter this
work was Walter Bailey, ’12. He is
now teaching the natives of the Phil
ippines the English language and
American athletics. Mr. Bailey was
famous for his height, 6 feet 4 inches,
and the Btudents of his day relate
not only of his prowess in a basket
ball suit, but also of the “pee-rades’’
he led with his high silk hat.
Still another man who entered this
field is James K. Lyman, Whitman
’06, who came to Oregon for post
graduate work. While in college he
was a crack wrestler, assistant foot
ball coach, and Secretary of the Col
lege Y. M. C. A. He took further
graduate work at Oberlin College, and
is now in Marsash, Turkey, teaching
the young Turks Western athletics,
, and through his work getting closer to
their lives that he may bring Chris
tianity and Western civilization to
them.
At the last meeting of the Y. M. C.
A. Cabinet it was voted to send the
funds secured here in the University
to help Mr. Lyman in the work he
is doing.
NULL mil
10 BE ELECTED LATER
EACH MAN OF REGULAR TEAM
WILL HAVE CHANCE IN
CONTEST FOR POSITION
PRACTICE STARTS THIS WEEK
Season’s ‘Outlook Not the Best, but
“We Will Come Up Fighting,”
Says Bezdek
There will be no election of basket
ball captain for this year’s team until
the season is well along; the regular
team picked, pretty well crystalized
and the choice of captain decided in
the mind of every man. Practice
starts this week.
Coach Bezdek gave out the above
statement today. Instead of electing
a captain at the beginning of the
year, Coach Bezdek plans to appoint
different captains for each game un
til the men have had a fair chance
to learn the ways of each man off
the team, and choose to the best ad
vantage. Every man who makes n
regular place on the team will be eli
gible for the captaincy.
Wheeler is the only letter man to
return this year. It is possible that
“Slim” Koch will return, but no defi
nite word has been received. Carson
Bigbee was on the squad last year
and made a good showing.
Chet Fee,- Bill Burgard and Ray
Gorman have signified their inten
tions of turning out for the guard
positions. Brownell and Dudley are
expected to show up for a trial at
center. Clark will be out for a for
ward. There are several Freshmen
who look good and are expected to
uncover some real stuff.
“It isn't the best outlook in the
world, but we will come' up fighting
and be around for the finish,” jwas
Coach Bezdek’s comment on the pros
pects.
Hard work will not begin until the
football season is over. The first
workouts are’ in order from now on,
however, and some definite showing
is expected by the end of the week.
“We are too busy with football at
presept to talk basketball. We are do
ing some planning though, and I can
say that it looks like a big year.” This
is Bill Hayward’s forecast.
Both Coach Bezdek and Trainer
“Bill” Hayward seem optimistic over
the prospects and feel sure that there
is some new material on hand to de
liverthe goods.
