"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.

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.”

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.

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.

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.
