TRYOUTS TO BE MONDAY Prospective Intercollegiate Debaters Vie for Places. Three Old Men Back on Forum The preliminary tryout for places on the Oregon intercollegiate debate teams will be staged Monday after noon at 3:00 o’clock, in Villard Hall. Three of last year’s men, Bert Lombard, Fred Hardesty and Victor Morris, who won the alumni debate medal last year, Pete Crockett, a member of the team of three years ago, and Nicholas Jaureguy, the Uni versity’s representative in the ex tempore speaking contest at the Uni versity of Washington last year, will be among the contestants. “However, no man will get a place just because he did last year,’’ said Bert Prescott, Instruuctor of Public Speaking. “There may be some dark horse in the shed, such as Morris was lust year. There are ten places to fill this year, and they will be filled if there are ten men who can do cred. it to the University of Oregon, but if ten such men can not be found, all the places will not be filled.” Ihe question for debate is: “Re solved, That the federal covernmert shown own and operate all interst.it'; railroads acting as comomn carriers, including intrastate lines competing with them.” Eight minutes will be given to each speaker, who may defend either sido ‘i. the question he wishes. PLAN FOB SOPH DANCE Sentiment Seems to be Against For mal Dress for Men and Women Plans for Sophomore dance, to be held December 12, are well under way. Bernard Breeding, the general chair man, states that several important committee meetings have already been held. The decorations committe hints that its effoorts will be toward novelty. Several feature dances will be on the program. Although no admission will be charged, the management feels that in justice to those Sophomores who have paid their class dues and made the affair a possibility, some meas ures should be taken to exclude those members of the class who have failed to pay dues. In order to avoid un pleasant. complications, these should be paid before the dance date, to Frank Scaiefe, Treasurer. While no definite concerted action has been taken, there seems to be a sentiment among many of the male clus members against the festive dress suit, but there seems to be, among the co-eds, just as large a sentiment in favor of that much-discussed ap parel, and it is thought that out of gallantry to the fair sex, there will be a large display of “hard-boiled” shirts and “claw hammers.” The athletic hero at Rugby receives his commendation in a somewhat uniqt way. After his victory in the games he is taken to one of the rooms and in the midst of considerable con fusion is thrown upon a bed, while as many students as possible are piled upon him until the bed breaks. This custom is known among the students as “piling.” UNDERCLASS DEBATERS DETERMINE MATERIAL Object Is to Uncover Talent for Use In Intercollegiate Contests To determine material for the Uni versity debates teams is the object, according to Professor Prescott, of the annual Freshman-Sophomore de bates. January 22 is the date set for the contest this semester. Two teams of three members will be chosen from each class. The selec tion of the six Sophomores will take place December 12. Jaureguy, Beach, Stoddard, Wilkins and Nelson, of the Sophomores, have signified their in tention to try out. The Freshman prospects are McDonald, Thomas, Mc Fadden, Hedges, Sheehy, Neil, Pack wood, Cox, Callison, Group, and Moores. December 8, Tuesday, it; the day of the Freshman tryouts. In order that no greater amount of work may be entailed for those who are trying for both the class and the Varsity teams, the question will be “Resolved, that the Federal Govern ment should own and operate all inter state railroads acting as commons, in. eluding intrastate lines competing with them. Constitutionality waived.’’ MANY STUDENTS WILL BE THANKFUL IN EUGENE (Continued from page 1.)
