f 4 OREGON EMERALD PUBLISHED THJtEE TIMES A WEEK UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1914. Volume XVI, No. 26 o o Every Nan Who Wants to See Oregon Win Be On Kincaid Bleachers Thursday Afternoon and in the Biggest of All Rallies Friday Night. It’s UpfoYuo 'MORE THAN TRADITION NEEDED 10 BEAT 0-A.C. COACHES FACE TASK OF BOL STERING UP SQUAD FOR . TEST SATURDAY MEN ARE BADLY SHAKEN UP Stewart’s Aggregation a Tough Prob lem; Lutz, Abraham, Billie and Yeager Strong Qartet * By Harry Kuck. There’s no use crying over spilled milk. That Washington game is lost irretrievably; Dobie’s crew got the jump and the breaks of the game, and Oregon was playing far below her standard; that’s alibi enough, al though other factors figured. The problem that confronts the coaches now is to bolster up the team and get it ready for the O. A. C. game next Saturday. And the task is gi gantic, for the team is pretty badly shaken up. Cornell is out for good, and navigates with the aid of a crutch and cane. Beckett has two cracked ribs and minor bruises, and Parsons’ nose is distinctly ornamental. Phil bin is rather touchy about his olfac tory organ and his eye and the re gions thereabouts have taken on a ^ decidedly darker hue. Risley has a lame ankle. Despite these little unpleasantries, all hands but “Pop” Cornell were hard at work last night. They are deter mined to beat the Aggies at any rate. But did yqji notice the easy time Doc. Stewart’s bunch had with the unfortunate Idaho taem? Twenty-six to 0 against a team—that Oregon was was fortunate to get away with at all. It was duck soup for 0. A. C. and this shows that they have a top notch aggregation. Stewart has an exceptionally strong quartet in Lutz, Abraham, Billie and Reager. Lutz is the individual star of the team and is one of the most consistent ground gainers in the -% Northwest. He has also outpunted ’every opponent up to date. Abraham is fast and his greatest service to his team is performed in running interference. Billie is a line plunger and.is both fast and heavy. In DeWitt Yeager Stewart has a man that can handle kicks in fine style. His handling of Miller’s spi rals in the Washington game, on the muddy Albany field, was one of the features of the day. One thing is certain, tradition won t win that game Saturday, and “Bez“ and the boys know it. Therein may lie our salvation. SCHWARZSCHILD HAS $100 ♦ TO PROVE ZEITUNG RIGHT Would you like to win $100J All you have to do is to prov% that thg cathedral at Louvaine was destroyed by the Germans, as was declared in a newspaper dispatch. E. Schwarz schild, a local merchant, puts up the money. Mr. Schwarzschild bases his statement made recently in his favor ite home paper, the Frankfurter Zei tung, that the cathedral is still stand ing. Vassar girls spend more than $17, 000 each year for dances given by or ganizations. A committee of women of the college is now working on a plan for transferring the expendi tures for that kind of amusement to * other things more needed. WHAT HAS MATH TO DO WITH G0LF7-READ THIS ANDTHINK One Student Major and Two Profes sors of Mathematics Are Best Club Wielders As a result of the progress in the handicap golf tournament, now being staged at the Country Club links, it is to be wondered what relationship golf bears to mathematics. For out of the 36 entries, including 30 Eugene residents, five University professors and one* University student, the three to survive until the finals are two of the professors and the one student. The two professors are Drs. Smith and DeCou, both of the Mathematics Department; and the student is John Wilhelm, who majors in mathematics. Wilhelm, who is a scratch man, is thinking of hauling out a pair of spectacles in anticipation if his bat tle against the faculty members. And all three are trying to link the “math” and golf. COLLEGE MANAGERS TO GONER IN PORTLAND Six Northwestern Athletic Financiers , to Meet in December to Arrange Schedules and Proposed Rules Managers from the six Northwest Colleges are to meet in Portland early in December to arrange schedules for basketball, baseball, track and foot ball for the coming year. Changes are to be expected in the system of bringing the teams togeth er in basketball. To make out a schedule in this game that will please all the coaches of the conference is the one big task that will present itself. At present the three eastern teams, Whitman, Washington State, and Ida ho play together, and the three west ern teams, Washington, 0. A. C and Oregon, play together, leaving the winner in each division to fight it out for the championship. Coaches Archie Hahn, of Whitman, Pink Griffith, of Idaho, and Bohler, of Washington State ar heartily opposed to this pres ent way of running things, because they say the three Eastern teams are so close together that they do not move about enough to get any inter est in the games. Consequently, money is being lost, and the game is los ing out in general.' The plan to be submitted provides that each team in the conference shall play two games with every other team, one on the home floor, and the other on the floor of the enemy. In the past each school has played the other schools in its division four games, two at home and two abroad. Then, too, whereas at present each school guarantees its visiting oppo nent fifty dollars a game, in the ad vent of only one contest with any one opponent at home, the guarantee will be raised0 to severity-five 0dollars. ’ ° -- ♦ a—.-• ****%****** © q° *o Dr. Samuel J.

PlimWI TO ADDRESS ASSEMBLY “WAYS AND MEANS OF ENLARG INB ONE’S LOCAL HORI ZON’’ IS TOPIC “MAN WHO PUT BEND ON MAP1 Speaker Believes In Being a Big Frog In a Small Puddle, and Trying to Make Puddle Bigger “The man who put Bend on the map” might be the title for George P. Putnam, the assembly speaker for tomorrow morning. With several years’ experience in reportorial work on the Oregonian, MJr. Putnam decided to seek a field with a good newspaper opening and become a country editor. He chose Bend as the place, and became ed itor of the Bulletin. Still in the vigor of youth, he is only now in his thir ties, he began to boost Bend and to take an active part in the aairs of the community, becoming mayor and a leading citizen. And now, as Profes sor Allen, of the Journalism Depart ment, who i& an old friend of Mr. Putnam’s, says: “Everybody knows where Bend is.” Mr. Putnam was largely responsible for the original entertainment given the Portland Ad Club when that club visited there last summer. Mr. Putnam has a theory which, put in his way, is, “I believe in being the big frog in the small puddle, and then trying to make the puddle big ger.” The subject for the lecture to morrow will touch on this. It is, “Ways and Means of Enlarging One’3 Local Horizon.” Mr. Putnam says it will be a young man's talk to young men on how to make good in Ore gon. , Sigma Delta Chi, the journalism fraternity, has appointed a committee to arrange for a banquet in the even ing, at the Osbura Hotel, of the male' members of the Journalism classes. Lamar Tooze and Sam Michael are on the committee. Editors E, J. Finneran, of the Eu gene Guard, and Elbert Bede, of the Cottage Grove Sentinel, President P. L. Campbell, of the University, and Mr. Putnam, have been asked to speak at the banquet. TRYOUT DATES FIXED Survivals of First Elimination Pro cess to Defend Opposite Side of Question December 5 The first elimination tryout for de bate will be on Monday, November 23, from 3:00 to 6:00 o’clock, instead of on either Friday, November 20, or Sat urday, November 21, as was first scheduled, because of the fact8that Mr. Prescott will be away on extension work Friday and would not be able to be back Saturday. Besides, the O. A. C. game comes on the 21st. Each contestant in this first tryout will be allowed eight minutes in which to give his argument defending which ever side of the question he pleases. He may or may not be called upon for rebuttal. The tryout will be held in Villard Hall. The second tryout will be on Sat urday, December 5. Those who sur vive the first contest will defend the side of the question opposite to which they defended at the first tryout. (Continued oa page 4.) MUITNOMAH TO MEET MBIT II SOCCER GAME WILL BE STAGED AS A PRELIMINARY TO FOOTBALL CONTEST 23 CANDIDATES TRY ODT Eleven Places to be Filled; Twelve Men Will Be Sent to Portland Over the long distance telephone yesterday, arrangements were made with the Board of Trustees of the Multnomah Athletic Club for a soccer game as a curtain raiser to the Ore gon-Multnomah Turkey Day game at Portland. Graduate Manager Tiffany approved of the plan and wrote the Athletic Board of the Multnomah Club to com plete the plans. A return game will be played on Kincaid Field some time during the winter. Neil Ford, ’17, who played outside left wing last year, was elected cap tain of the team. Twenty-three candidates are out for the eleven places. Although subs are not allowed to be entered into the game, two men will go to Portland besides the coach. The team will be selected from the men that turn out regularly to prac tice. 500 ATTEND DANCE CONCENSUS OF OPINION THAT DANCE WAS GREAT SUCCESS —MUSIC EXCELLENT The two hundred and fifty couples who attended the band dance Satur day night are even yet maintaining that it was some success. The twenty five band men have been, and are be ing oongrathlated on all sides. Despite the fact that Oregon was reported loser at Seattle, the crowd seemed to be in a “good time’’ spirit, lots of the talking between dances being concerned with the general sub ject of next year. The music as played by the band was said by everybody present to be excellent. Seldom is it found that band music is equally adapted to both waltzing and the current one-stepping but on this occasion the band had both the smoothness for the waltz, and the snap for the “walking.” As had been intended, the feature dance was a total surprise to a ma jority of the dancerSi With lights out and accompanied by the.roar of .guns) and blaring of the band, a rfiin. jature battleship appeared at one side of the bancony, and was drawn across to the other side, over the heads of the dancers and of the band which was situated in the middle of the floor. A spot light alternated between the ship and those on the floor. Four encores were demanded to this dance. As a result of its efforts the band raised between forty and fifty dollars, which is to be applied to the student body to reduce the expense of the much expected band sweaters. The success of the affair confirms the desire to make the band dance an annual informal. Freshmen do not have to tip their hats to upperclassmen at the Univer sity of Kansas, according to a new ruling of the student council of that college. SENIOR BENCH MEETS RIVAL IN 6AMMA PHI PORCH SWING Sorority Freshmen May Also Sit Su pinely Under a Watchful In candescent Light No longer will the members of thq Senior class occupy their bench of stone under the classic shades of the campus trees with the same pristine feeling of exclusiveness and individu ality. The Gamma Phi Freshmen en ter the field with a Freshman bench —of the swinging variety. Even the guiding influence of an electric light will not be overlooked by the origi nators of Oregon’s latest custom. NEW STUNTS HATCHED FOR FRIDAY RALLY “Pep” to be Manufactured for the O. A. C.-Oregon Game in a Safe and Sane System Don’t forget Friday night. Put a big ring around that date in your Y. M. C. A. Handbook. The chances are you won’t, for Saturday comes one of the greatest events of the fall semes ter, the O. A. C. vs. Oregon game. A monster “pee-rade” will begin the evening festivities, the weather per mitting, starting at the Kappa Sigma house at 6:45. If the weather is un favorable, everyone is requested to meet at Villard Hall at 7:00 o’clock for an hour’s entertainment consist ing chiefly of vaudeville stunts by the various fraternities. Both Glee Clubs will sing, and as the program is not complete without a speech, Dr. Bennett has been asked to express himself. After the program the scene of ac tion will change to Kincaid Field, where the band will render college and popular airs. The “Frosh” will the touch off the immense bonfire. The members of the squad, Coach Bezdek and local team supporters will endea vor to explain why Oregon cannot help but win at Corvallis the following day. “Yell Chief” Ernie Vosper will then take the stand, and with the assist ance of the “human jumping jack,” who will amuse the assemblage by va rious fantastic gyrations, will endea vor to arouse the famous “Oregon spirit,” the jinx that defeats O. A. C. Vosper, in discussing the rally, said: “I want to get something nov el in the way of a parade if the ev ening isn’t too moist. I am having the boys get about 70 kefeosene lan nat rag and serpentine as ’heretofcfre, but will march four abreast with their hanSs on each other’s shoulders, the fellows on the outside carrying one of these lanterns. Professor Shinn has kindly consented »to make us some red fire for the street cor ners, and some of the boys can carry Japanese lanterns lit by candles. “There is no reason in the world why every man can’t be out to this feature. They’ve got to be to make the rally a success. Nothing can help the team more than a big demonstra tion of that old ‘Oregon spirit.’ They need every bit of support to win that game, and it can be done. Washing ton didn’t have any license to defeat Oregon last Saturday. The newspa pers don’t give Oregon half the credit we deserve and the score doesn’t show how evenly matched the teams were. But we’ve got 0. A. C.’s goat and the team will prove it next Saturday.” WES' IHOI WOMAN COWS NEAR ELOPING CORVALLIS DISPATCH BLAMES STUDENTS SOR LEADING HER ASTRAY PRES. CAMPBELL INVESTIGATES Doubts If University Men Are In volved in Attempted Vandalism, but is Going After the Evidence. President Campbell is investingat ing the charge that was contained in a Corvallis special to this morning’s Register to the effect that Oregon stu dents had stolen the statue of a wo man which decorated the fountain at the entrance to the 0. A. C. campus, at Corvallis. “The University administration is nication with Corvallis to find out on what evidence the charge is based. “The Dniversity administration is doing everything it can to find out whether any University students were involve^ in this affair,” said President Campbell this morning, “and if any participants are discovered they will be suitably dealt with. Inquiries are being conducted both through faculty channels and. through the officers of the Student Body. “My experience with such rumors here in Eugene and elsewhere leads me to believe there is a strong proba bility of mistake in the conjecture that the depredators were Oregon men. The ‘0’ on the butte here was once painted green, and our students accused the boys from the college. It turned out, however, that it bsd been painted by an Irishman who was cel ebrating. “Everything possible will be done to get at the facts, and to punisk the guilty if they are within the juris diction of the University.” The story as it appeared in the Reg ister is as follows. ' “Corvallis, Nov. 16—After having plunged the city and Agricultural Col lege into darkness by cutting the elec, trie light line leading into this city, a party of students from the Uni versity of Oregon, at Eugene, tonight stole the huge figure of a woman from the historic fountain at the entrance to the college campus. “As soon as the theft had been not ed, the town was full of Agricultural students searching for the visitors from the University, but no trace of them was obtained. The fountain was the gift of a graduating class a year ago. “Just before the annual football game between the Aggies and the University lapto year, a number of students from this place went to Eu-. gene and changed the color of the big lemoq-yellow ‘O’ on Skinner’3 butte to a nice brown. University stu dents did not discover the trick until the next day. “Late tonight it was found that the statue was again in its place on the fountain.” An 0. A. C. alumnus in Eugene re gards the trick as the work of some one who knew the details of the foun tain of which the statue is a part. “It is a figure five or six feet in height,” lie said, “and is pretty solid. To remove it from its base would re quire one thoroughly familiar with it. And after it had been detached it would take four or five men to pack it off the campus. In my opinion, it was not the work of an Oregon bunch, but probably a trick by some of the Aggies themselves, or some of the town tricksters.”
