PUBLISHED THREE TIMES A WEEK UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. EUGENE, TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 3, 1914* Volujne XVI, No. 20 OIIEGOII MID II.OF *. COMPARED HWTOMAI DOBIEITES HAVE ADVANTAGE IN EXPERIENCE AND WEIGHT "BEZ” GAN SHOW FIGHT Dopester Thinks Oregon Has It Over Washingtonians in Everything Except End Positions By Rex Kay. Washington was an unknown fac tor until they clashed with 0. A. C. last Saturday at Albany. As a whole, the showing made by the Dobiemen was a disappointment to the Wash ington followers. The fight and ag gressiveness which has marked all Washington teams in the past was lacking. Just before the game Captain Shiel said: “I don’t know how we will come out. We aren’t going the way we used to.” “It is hard to say how we are go ing to finish this year. We haven’t the old fight,” was the statement of Washington’s assistant trainer. “We expect a hard fight all the way,” said Seagraves, the big guard. Dobie will have the advantage over Bezdek’s men in general experience and average weight, but comparing man to man in their respective posi tions, Oregon has the upper hand in everything except at end. There will be a change in this department, how ever, which will eliminate this weak ness. Where Oregon is outclassed in keight the difference is equalized by speed. This is particularly true of the backfield. Oregon’s backfield will average about 156 to Washington’s 185. Oregon depends entirely upon the speed of this backfield, and on dry fields is able to meet an opposing line with great force. Neither Mil ler nor Noble has ever shown the speed or agility which characterizes the work of Malarkey and Parsons. Shiel will outweigh Bryant by 20 pounds; both are hard line smashers, but from the showing Shiel made against O. A. C. on the defense, es pecially in tackling, Bryant is the better. Smith, at quarter, weighs 165, against “Anse” Cornell at 130. Ow ing to Cornell’s game knee, Smith is able to do more running than the midget, and gives material aid to the backfield interference when carrying the ball, but for speed, generalship and all around knowledge of the posi tion, Cornell leads. Smith is slower in calling signals, and falls way short of Oregon’s midget when it comes to command. Washington’s backfield was continually “beefing” at its quar ter. Oregon’s line will weigh a little less than Washington’s. Again the dierence is made up in speed. In reference to Oregon’s line, Var nell said: “I haven’t had the oppor tunity of watching Oregon’s line work as much- as I would like to. The little I saw of them in the Wil lamette game was good. They have good weight, but most of all speed. They should have no trouble with any team if they keep up and going.” Gellatley will oppose Risley, the former with an advantage of about 10 pounds. Gellatley is a Freshman, but shows a good knowledge of his position. Risley has had no trouble with any opponent so far, and no one is worrying about him now. Snyder and Cook will have Sea graves and McPherson to take care of. Here Oregon has a slight advan tage in weight. Cook and Seagraves are both playing their third year. Cook is the quicker of the two; both have played all-star style this year. (Continued on page 4.) HAYWARD WILL PICK OREGON’S CROSSCOUNTRY TRIO SOON Saturday’s Three-Mile Run at Corvallis to See Oregon Represent ed by Three to Be Chosen From the Quartet of Payne, Bost wick, Huggins and Belding. A. L. Bostwick, Chester Huggins and Don Belding were the first three runners to finish in the tryouts held yesterday afternoon to choose Ore gon representatives for the inter-col legiate cross country run to be staged at Corvallis next Saturday. Owing to a slight attack of ton silitis, “Mose” Payne, the Athena jack rabbit, was unable to ener he ry outs. “Bill" says, however, that if Payne is in condition by Saturday he will be given a chance to try for a place on the team. Track fans at 0. A. C. and at Ore gon will have an opportunity to see Hobgood, the Aggie star, and Payne, Oregon’s “phenom,” in competition. Reports indicate that the first place will go to one of these men. It is not known whether each of the six! colleges in the conference will send! teams to Corvallis. This is the first j year that a conference cross country j has been scheduled, and it is intended to make the run an annual affair. The first two and the last two laps of the race will be in the armory, thus giving the fans an opportunity to witness the start and the finish of the “three mile.” The men will be numbered in the order of their finishing, the team hav ing the least number of points win ning. DR. AHRCOTTE WARTS FEWER BltlTERFLIES Baby Doll, or Bridge Playing Type of Woman Does Not Appeal to Vesper Speaker A plea for men who will choose and choose wisely, for men who real ize that the spirit is more important than things, was the keynote of the address by Doctor Marcotte, of Port land, at the Vesper service last Sun day, on “How Shall I Invest My Life?” “The charge has been made,” said Dr. Marcotte, “that we Americans are too much occupied with things to heed properly the higher call of the spirit. We need more men capable of bring ing out, through the medium of friendship, loving out as it were, the latent possibilities of a youth or man. We need college professors who think of the green Freshman, not as a mere bundle of awkwardness, but as a man, and who are willing and able to bring out the man in him.” j Speaking of the modern woman, he said: “We need fewer butterflies and more eagles; we need a race of wo men fitted physically to bear a race of giants, fitted intellectually to rear a race of poets; and fitted spiritually to rear a race of Children of God. We need less bridge and higher idea els; in a word, we heed women that will leave the world better for their having been in it. Whether you shall | be a bee, storing sweetness and build | ing life, or a buzzard, haunting the i earth’s carrion—that depends on how j you choose to invest your life.” I -- I TWO FORMER OREGON MEN ON WINGED “M” ELEVEN Two former Oregon students, Bill Holden, ex-’16, and “Chuck” Taylor, ’08, are on this year’s football team i of the Multnomah Club. The Winged ! “M,” the official publication of the : club, in a recent issue had the fol io-wing to say about the duo: “Among the well known athletes 1 who have donned football togs, is i “Chuck” Taylor, a star halfback for four years with the University of Or egon. He was rated one of the best ; halfbacks ever developed in the North west. | “Bill Holden, of last year’s Univer sity of Oregon team, is holding down a guard position on this year’s Mult nomah eleven. | * Everybody out for rooters prac- • j * tice Thursday, 4:00 P.

Fumey, Re Kay, Harold Lockerbie, Alexander Bowen, Charles Dundore, Lee Hendricks, Gordon Clark, Edgar Garbade, John Gilbert, Walter Muirhead, Louise Allen, Jua nita Wilkins, Mildred Gerig, Claire Raley, Edythe Rogers and Sarah Bar ker. VERE WINDNAGLE TO RUN AGAINST HARVARD Vere Windnagle, erstwhile Oregon speed “phenom,” will make his debut Saturday under the colors of Cornell, against Harvard. The cross country race will cover a six-mile course at Ithica, New York. The New York Times, commentig on the Cornell team, says: “Honmire has been leading the Cor nell pack recently, but he has been closely followed by Potter and Wind-; nagle. The last named is a newcomer to distance running at Ithica. He en-! tered Cornell a year ago from a West ern school. His work so far makes him look like one of the best distance runners in the University. He becomes eligible for the team for the first time this fall. Windnagle and Potter have been running neck and neck for second place in the trials held so far.” Rita Fraley has been chosen stu dent manager for the Women'a Glee Club. Malarkey Is Out Of Football “TICK” MALARKEY “Tick” Malarkey, the fighting Irish nan, who played a star game against ;he Gem Staters, is out of football :or the rest of the season . At least ;he docor says so. Malarkey had his :ye injured a week ago, and has been n the hospital until today. 1. C. SHELTON RETURNS Collector for Museum Brings Speci mens of Birds and Mammals from Roseburg. A. C. Shelton, of the Zoology De jartment, has just returned from a ;en day field trip in Douglas County, vhere he has been collecting birds, firds’ eggs and mammals for the Uni versity of Oregon Museum. He made iis headquarters at C. A. Brandt’s :ruit and vine ranch, five miles north vest of Roseburg. The material is sorted and labeled and is arranged ’or the benefit of all those who are nterestod in seeing it. “I feel pleased with the results of ;his trip,” said Mr. Shelton. “The ;rip itself was a direct result of the nterest manifested in my exhibit at ;be Oregon State Fair. At least Lfi.'lOO people from all over the state saw this display, which consisted of 100 skins. One of the fair directors nterested me in this part of the state and I took the trip. “I used no special methods of col ecting, but picked up whatever ma terial I could find. The Roseburg iistrict is fine for specimens, since lot only Oregon birds abound there,] aut also many California types.” “This work was only started last February,” continued Mr. Shelton. ‘Next year we are going to have a ligger and better collection.” Mr. Shelton is enthusiastic over his work and will make another trip some time in December, when he will spend two weeks in the Cascades, above McKenzie Bridge. Mr. Shelton will leave for Port land on November 15, to install a new course in the grade schools there. This will consist of a study if the birds of Oregon, their appear ance, nests, eggs, and haunts. Mr. Shelton is now preparing an exten sive and detailed collection of birds, birds’ nests, birds’ eggs and small' mammals to take with him. DOME'S STAR PASSES ZENITH AS AGGIES MOUNT TO FAME ONE TIME CERTAIN CHAMPIONS FI6HT TO AVERT CALAMITY. STANDIN6 OF THREE CONFERENCE TEAMS REMAINS UNALTERED ANTHROPOLOGIST TO SPEAK IT ASSEMBLY Frederick Starr, of University of Chicago, to Present “The Mexico of Today” Frederick Starr, Ph. D., Sc. D., and Professor of Anthropology at the Uni versity of Chicago, will be the speak er at tomorrow’s assembly in Villard. His subject will be “The Mexico of Today.” Dr. Starr has made explorations into Mexico, Japan, the Congo Free State, Philippine Islands and Korea to study the ethnography of these countries. He was sent to Japan by the St. Louis Exposition tot secure a group of Ainu, the aboriginal popu lation of Japan. For this he was awarded a grand prize. He was also decorated by the King of Belgium for his work in the Congo Free State. Dr. Starr is a lecturer of wide ex perience along anthropological re search, and his various travels and ex periences make him the more interest ing. He is the author of many books and pamphlets. The lecture tomorrow morning will be illustrated. Dr. Starr is on a leave of absence from the University of Chicago. He had intended going to Africa last fall, but the war pre vented, and he is now making a trip through the Western states on his way to Mexico. M50 WILLAMETTE GUARANTEE CAUSES DEFICIT FOR OREGON While an overwhelming victory was scored against the Willamette team, the game, from a financial standpoint, was not so favorable. According to Graduate Manager Tiffany, the Stu dent Body lost exactly $160j00, this amount being the guarantee to Harry L. Irvine, manager of the Methodist team. The local expenses of the game balanced with the gate receipts, which totaled $70.50. “In the first few games of the sea son,” Mr. Tiffany said, “we usually go a little behind, but the two coming big games ought to clear up all defi cits. We expected to make more at Portland on the W. S. C. game, but the weather prevented a large crowd from attending.” R. W. RAYMOND SPEAKS ON MANUFACTURING TOPIC R. W. Raymond, of Portland, Pres ident of the Oregon Manufacturers’ Association, addressed the Industry and Commerce class Thursday after noon at 2:00 o’clock, in Villard Hall, on “The Fundamentals of Manufactur ing.” He spoke of the things neces sary to the success of the factotries and manufacturing interests, and enu merated the different factors which must be considered, namely, the raw materials, the labor, the power to run the factories, the markets which must be available, and the working capital. Hon. H. B. Miller, of Portland, will speeak to the class next Thursday af ternoon, November 5, at 2:00 o’clock. A new school of education has been opened at the University of Pennsyl vania. For the first time in its 150 years of existence, the medical school course will be open to women. OREGON IS STRONG Washington Does Not Show Wonder* ful Machine that Defeated Ore gon Last Year by 3 Points Pigskin dope fiends are struggling about in a matutinal nightmare. Dope this year is like the fourth dimension, there doesn’t seem to be any. As a general rule, dopesters at the present time know nearly as much about the conference series as they did at the first of the season; surely, no more. Pre-season speculation had it “fig gered out" that the championship scrap would be a triangular affair, with Washington, 0. A. C. and Ore gon at each of the angles, and the rest of the teams in the role as minor obstacles. W. S. C. and Idaho play pretty heavy parts for minors, as the expe rience of the Aggies and the Varsity has attested. Saturday’s classic in scoreless foot ball did not rearrange the dope an iota, but probably tangled matters a little more. Until Oregon meets Washington on November 14, all fore cast is poetic license. One thing, however, seems in the air: Dobie and the Washington hook have no’ life-lease on the Northwest Conference rag. Their traditional lease may die on the eve of its sev enth term. ine cnampionsmp is by no means a foregone conclusion. Saturday’s fra cas boosted 0. A. C. stock higher than ever without minimizing the bullish tendency of the purple and gold. The fierceness of that struggle did not hide some weaknesses in both teams. Washington did not show the perfect football machine that defeated Oregon last season by a meagre three points. Neither was there the won derful fight and endurance. After the first quarter the Washington eleven showed unmistakable signs of tiring. Their wonderful offense of the first quarter was gone, and their defense, although gritty, was not up to their usual standard. O. A. C. showed more fight and pep than ever. There is no doubt whatever that this is the hey dey of football at Corvallis. The team is fast without being deficient in av oirdupois. O A. C. showed her best card when she shuffled Art Lutz into the deal. He has all-star stuff in him, is pow-' erful, and has the defiance of a Krupp 16-incher. This luminary out-ecin tillated Miller in his battering ability. Possibly the greatest weakness in the O. A. C. eleven in the fact that there are eleven players instead of one team. They lack collective capacity, as was shown by the poor general ship in the Albany encounter. In the first quarter it was all Washington. O. A. C. would not have had a ghost of a show had not the unexpected hap pened, and what the unexpected was no one can say definitely. The fact I was, Washington weakened and Oi A. j C. strengthened. By Harry Kuck. * Saturday’s 0 to 0 battle was slow' j and disappointing, but showed up sev | eral points about both elevens. Nei ther team boasts of a field general like “Nance” Cornell. Either Wash j ington or O. A. C. could have won j that game by head work. In the last j half Lutz was out-punting Miller from (6oatinmd on page t)
