Volume XVI, No. 23
student body resolution will
BE CONSIDERED IN ASSEMBLY
AUDIENCE TO HEAR NEW MUSIC PREPARED ESPECIALLY
FOR THE BAND DANCE TO BE GIVEN
SATURDAY EVENING
SPECIAL TRMM IS TOPIC
An Amendment Concerning Women’s
Glee Club Framed; No State
ment Made As Yet
Assembly hour tomorrow morning
will be given over to a special meet
ing of the Student Body. Two reso
lutions and an amendment will be
brought before the meeting. Special
music will be furnished by the Var
sity Band. This will be the initial
appearance of the band before an as
sembly audience.
Of the two resolutions that will
come before the students to adojot,
one deals with the matter of adver
tising. On account of the complaint
of the merchants that there were too
many University publications to sup
port through advertising, the Execu
tive Council took up the matter and
decided to recommend limiting the
student publications soliciting adver
tising only for the Emerald and Ore
gana. The resolution to be adopted
by the students will be to ' this ef
fect and will be introduced by Leland
Hendricks. The other resolution re
lates to students hurriedly calling
a meeting together and adopting reso
lutions without first consulting an
authority.
The amendment to be submitted by
Bert Jerard aims at Article VI, Sec
tion 1, of the Constitution. Section
1 now reads: “The Girls’ Glee Club
shall be governed by the same provis
ions that apply to the Glee Club,
excepting that the members of this
club shall not be entitled to emblems.”
As to the purpose of the amendment,
no statement was offered by those
framing it, because as they said “they
were afraid of adverse sentiment.”
However, the amendment will not be
voted upon till a later meeting than
the one tomorrow and will be before
the students during the intervening
time just as prominently as it will
be between the time the Emerald
comes out this evening and tomorrow
morning.
An opportunity will be given the'
student representatives of the two
railroads bidding for the official train
to the 0. A. C.-Oregon game to ar
gue for their respective lines. After
having had an opportunity to hear
the arguments pro and con, a vote of
the students will be taken as to which
line shall have the special train. The
purpose of this is to prevent any one
bunch of students ruling the majority.
The band dance is to be given next
Saturday night, and to prove to the
students that the music will be of the
highest order, “Maury” Hyde will
wave the baton through two or three
numbers at the assembly while his
cohorts revel among the notes of ball
room music. “If the toes of every
one in the audience wiggle ntfct and
his enthusiasm remains as thick as
molasses When we play,” says Hyde,
“we will do the groundhog act when
the groundhog sees his shadow and
bury ourselves for years to corn0 ”

AFTERMATH SHOWS WHY
OHEGOK WAS DEFEATED
With Payne, Bostwick and Huggins
In Commission, Locals Might
Have Copped Saturday’s
Race
By Floyd Westerfield.
If Payne, Bostwick and Huggins
had been able to represent Oregon at
the cross country race at Coravllis
last Saturday, the Oregon trio would
have been placed nearer the head of
the list. First place went to Hobgood,
who covered the four and one-half
miles in 23:59. All three of the above
named men have in practice made
time that would have placed them in
the front rank. The inexperience and
the short time for the training of
the three Freshmen who represented
the University was only one handicap
that worked against them.
When “Bill” received word of the
race, it was understood that the run
was to be three and one-half miles.
However, when the men arrived in
Corvallis they were informed that
the race would be for four and one
half miles. The team had trained
for the shorter distance, and the ex
tra mile, a soft, muddy road and a
quarter of a mile of plowed ground
were conditions that were not ex
pected. Every member of the team
finished in good condition, the last
man making the distance in 24:45.
Belding, who finished first for Or
egon, anu KaddfcHy of O. A. C., IcO
the runners for the first mile. Hob
good, of O. A. C., was the first man
to enter the armory at° the last of
the race. McKay, of Whitman, who
was thirty yards behind him, sprint
ed, and for half a lap the two men
were even.' At the last turn Hobgood
took the pole and was able to finish
about ten yards ahead of McKay, who
was the third man to cross the tape.
Lafky had worked up to second place
in a sprint at the finish.

FEW OUTSIDE STOUTS
OK GLEE U TRIP
Concert Will be in Eugene December
3; “Attend and Support Your
Organization,” Says Tiffany
An Eastern Oregon tour will com
prise the Christmas vacation of the
22 members of the Men’s Glee Club.
A lack of the wherewithal, however,'
will prevent as many concerts being
given as wpre originally intended,
and for the same reason the “stunts”
will be acted only by the singers
themselves.
“I have heard that some, men out
side the club may try out for the di
alogues,” said Professor Lyman.
“They will have to be exceptionally
good. We are relying more than ever
upon the work of the Glee Club mem
bers alone. Apperson, with his xyl
phone, made a hit last year and will
probably reappear this season. Jerard
and Batley, last year’s comedians,
who are again trying out, are assured
of a place in next month’s program.
Sprague, tenor, and Gillette and Vaw
ter, baritones, are doing good work.”
The trip through the eastern part
of the state will cover Pendleton on
December 29, Baker December 30, La
Grande December 31, Hood River Jan
uary 1, and on the return trip a con
cert will be given in Albany January
2. Portland and Salem will be vis
ited later in the season.
According to Manager Tiffany, the
club will make its first appearance in
Eugene December 3- “Every student
in the University,” he added, “should
attend this concert. It is your organ,
ization and needs your moral and
financial support.”

DRAMATISTS REVIVIFY
First Meeting of the Year Will be
Held Thursday to Elect
Officers
A meeting of the active members
of the University Dramatic Club will
be held Thursday evening at 7:00
o’clock in Dr. Schafer’s room in the
basement of the Library, to elect of
ficers and to plan for the coming
season.
Thursday’s meeting will be the first
to be held by the organization this
year. According to Bert Jerard and
Maurice Hill, who have called the
meeting, several important matters
will be discussed and decided upon
by the club.
“It is very important that all old
members be present Thursday even
ing,” Jerard said today. “Besides
electing officers, the time for holding
tryouts for membership will be de
cided.
Jerard says that it is altogether
probable that the tryouts will be held
nevt week. He says the plan this
year is to give only modem plays.
The Dramatic Club has been organ
ized for several years, and each year
presents plays. Last year it produced
“A Woman’s Way,” which met with
great success.
A number of places on the club will
be filled by the tryouts.
Last year over 50 students tried
for places. The tfyouts consist in
reading certain selections from Shake
speare and other works. • °
PROF. LYMAN CHOOSES
WOMEN’S GLEE QUARTET
Professor Lyman held tryouts for
the quartet of the Girls’ Glee Club
last week, and those chosen for the
parts were: Eva Brock for first so
prano, Marie Churchill, second so
prano, Charlie Fenton, first alto, and
Bernice Perkins, second alto.
FIGHT IS ONLY HOPE
At the Crucial Period of Fight
Bezdek Must Develop Men to Fill
Holes Left by Cripples
By Harry Kuck.
Coach Bezdek can imitate Dobie’s
calamity talk with a clear conscience,
for, in face of all this newspaper gas
about Oregon’s phenomenal luck,
there is not a vestige of over-confi
dence in the Oregon camp. In fact,
things begin to look worse than du
bious.
Johnny Beckett, Oregon’s star
punter, and one of the mainstays in
the line, has tohsilitis and may not
be able to enter the Washington
game.
In sizing up the situation, Coach
Bezdek says: “It’s a pfetty hard dose
to swallow. The material was here;
we won our early sehson games all
right, and just as we seemed to have
a chance, this procession of unfore
seen setbacks is ushered in. You
can’t guard against mumps and ton
silitis, you know.”
Malarkfey and Cornell are through
with football for the -year. There is
not a chance of either of them play
ing against the Purple and Gold Sat
urday. Malarkey’s eyes are in bad
shape, and football is out of the ques
tion for him.
“Bill” and “Bez” have been work
ing all season with Cornell’s knee,
but it refuses to improve. Conse
quently, Oregon’s sagacious little foot
ball general will view the game from
the sidelines.
Although out of the hospital, Sam
Cook is in no condition to don his ar
mor, and in all probability he, too,
will be an interested spectator at Sat
urday’s entertainment. This will ne
cessitate a change in plans, for Cook
was counted upon to back up the line.
If Beckett does not recover p. d. q.
we may just as well kiss that old
game good-bye and hope (at best) for
a low score and few injuries. When
asked who would do the kicking if
Beckett was out, the coach replied:
“I guess I’ll go in and try my hand
at it.”
There is no one who can fill the big
tackle’s place and do himself credit.
With Cook and Beckett absent, Wash
ington’s backs, Miller, Noble and Shiel,
would make yardage through the
Lemon Yellow line at will.
The only ray of sunshine that is con
stantly peeping through the gloom
is the old “Oregon Spirit.” Every
man on the team is instilled with a
“do or die” fight, which is a wonder
ful asset on the gridiron. Two full
teams work hard each night, under the
arc lamps, vainly trying to counter
balance the misfortunes which befall
them almost daily.
Moreover, there is perfect harmony
in camp. Coach Bezdek brands as an
absolute falsehood a recent statement
in a local newspaper which said that
it looks like the old ‘bogey’ fraternity
