OREGON PUBLISHED THREE TIMES A WEEK UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. EUGENE. TUESDAY, EMERALD DECEMBER 1, 1914 SENIORS TO PROVIDE NOLAND MEMORIAL RESOLUTION MADE IN FRESH MAN YEAR REVIVED BY CLASS OF 1915 DORRIS APPOINTS COMMITTEE Bronze Tablet Will be Placed in New Administration Building in Honor of Classmate A bronze tablet in honor of Virgil Noland, ’ex-’15, who died in 1911, will be placed in the new Administration Building if the report of Sam Michael, Edith Moxley and Rose Sieler, com mittee in charge, is accepted by the class of 1915. In 1911 a resolution was made by the 1915 class to provide a memorial to Virgil Noland, in their Freshman year. The resolution has now been revived and the above com mittee named by Ben Dorris, Pdesi dent of the Senior class, will have the matter in charge. G. J. Mitchell, Assistant Professor of Geology, then staying at the Sigma Nu house, tells of the accident which resulted in Noland’s death. “Noland was a Freshman, and had earned a position as left guard on the football team. One noon at the train, ing table he told ‘Bill’ Hayward he had a bad cold. Bill sent him home, giving him instructions to sweat it out in the electrical blanket, which was the property of the Sigma Nus. No land did so. At 1:30 P. M., Bten Chan dler went up to Noland’s room and asked him how he felt. He replied that he was all right but pretty hot. No more attention was paid to him till after dinner that night when Ed. Geary went up to Noland’s room and found him dead. Upon investigation it was found Noland had smothered to death by the excessive heat of the blanket. Doctors were called, but too late.” AN6ELL DOES NQIWANT PRESIDENCY AI SEATTLE Chicago Scholar Writes He Is Not a Candidate—Institution’s Poverty Believed Cause University of Washington.—James Rowland Angell, who recently visited the University of Washington, is not a candidate for the presidency of that institution. A general feeling pervades the campus that the reason for Dean An. gell’s refusal to have his name con sidered is the failure of the state to provide what he thinks necessary equipment and adequate maintenance appropriations. He made these crit icisms flatly and openly when he in spected the University at the request of the regents, and faculty men know of no reason why he should have changed his mind in the meantime. One statement he made while on the campus, was: “What the state of Washington needs is a campaign of education concerning the needs of the University.” TRIP TO CRATER LAKE FOR GEOLOGY CLASS IS PLANNED A trip to Crater Lake for the Ge ology class some time during the spring or early- summer months is being considered by Prof. Warren D. Smith and G. J. Mitchell,°of the Ge ology Department. Professor Mitchell states that the plans may not materialize on account of the expense, which will probably be 25.00 for each student. The trip will be made by train to Medford, and from there by stage to the lake. “The main object of the trip,” says Professor Mitchell, ‘Will be pleas ure.” Glee Club to Open Season in Eugene Thursday WESTERN GIRLS ARE SLOW ATHLETIGALLT-SAYS MENTOR Miss Davis, Assistant Physical Direc tor, Says Easterners are BetteY Developed, but Westerners Have Better Complexions The average Western girl has no idea of play or sport. She has to be driven to it,” said Miss Harriet Thompson, assistant director of phys ical education, Tuesday afternoon. “The first thing the Eastern col lege woman says when she visits the campus is: ‘What’s the matter with your girls ? Don’t they like to play ” This lack of energy Miss Thomp son believes is due largely to the mild and gentle climate. People can be lazy so easily in Oregon. This spirit of ‘take-it-easy’ gradually becomes a part of their characters. “The difference in strength between the girls of the two localities is striking,” she continued. “For exam, pie, the average lung capacity -of girls in our gymnasium is 163 cubic inches. This compares rather poorly with 220 cubic inches in several mid dle Western colleges. In the same way our average arm strength, 24 kilo grams, must be compared to 48 kilo grams. The strength of the Univer sity of Oregon girls’ back is 70 kilo grams, contrasted with 185 kilograms in these schools beyond the Rocky Mountains.” Western girls do have the better complexions. That is one thing they can thank the climate for. But it does seem queer to me to watch a bunch of girls come up from the dress ing rooms and huddle round a radiator until the very last bell rings and they are compelled to begin to play and take a bit of exercise." “Oregon young woman are a little larger and a great deal slower than women who live farther east,” Miss Thompson said, “and if they ever get •started they can outclass the stu dents from these other colleges, for they have not the vigorous climate to endure. Especially ought they to walk, for in this country one can walk miles and miles without getting tired. The only reason I know for this difference in strength is that ev ery sport here stops for six months in the year, while in the East every girl has her favorite sport. She skates or coasts, or sleigh-rides, or walks, the whole winter through. She must play fast, too, or she gets uncomfortably cold.” Miss Thompson is not alone about her belief about the lack of play spirit and vigor in Oregon girls. Miss Davis, Dr. Stuart and Professor Sweetser profess to share it. (Continued on page 4.) HTML GLEE CLUB CONCERT TO BE STAGED THURSDAY NIGHT EUGENE THEATRE WILL BE SCENE OF MUSIC LOVERS’ TREAT.

HARDESTY ELECTED TO HEAD RELIEF MOVEMENT Fred Hardesty was elected to rep resent the Associated Students in the meetings of the Christmas War Relief Asociation, a Eugene organization which is raising funds to aid Euro pean war sufferers, at the regular meting of the Student Council Wed nesday evening.

The object of the organization is to prepare a Christmas box of clithing and other necessaries of life to send to the European war sufferers at Christmas.

Brodie, proprietor of the Dai ly Enterprise, of Oregon City, and president of the State Editorial As sociation, has the following to say in regard to a recent editorial in the Em erald, in which a plea was made that “muckerism” be eradicated from col lege journalism. “I am glad to see that the Univer sity paper has taken such a fine stand in relation to sustaining a position for good sportsmanship as indicated by the enclosed clipping. This is the right spirit and is entitled to the highest commendation.” Mr. Brodie included his comments on college journalism in a letter to Prof. E. W. Allen, in which he asked Mr. Allen to serve as vice president of the Association for Lane County. COOK. PARSONS, AND BECKETT MAKE ALL-NORTHWEST TEAM Dr. Stewart Only “Authority” to Ig nore Oregon Players, but He Loves His Bovinologists Cook at guard, Parsons at half, and Beckett at tackle, were the popular choices of football coaches and critics for All-Northwest honors, according to today’s Oregonian. Out of nine All-Northwest dope sters, eight picked Sam Cook for a guard position. Strangely enough, Dr. Stewart, of O. A. C., was the only would-be arbiter to leave Cook off his mythical team. Although he did not slight “Prunes” Moore, the Aggie guard who was badly outclassed by Sam in the Corvallis game. Still more curiously, the Doctor does not fancy a single Oregon man. He is broad-minded enough, however, to name five of his own Aggie play ers on his all-star combination. Since Stewart had such a constel lation of stars on his list, and the Or egon players were individually so in ferior, some difficulty naturally arises in explaining the 3 to 3 tie between the two teams. It would seem that the verdict of the -majority of the spectators at the Corvallis battle, that the cow-valets lacked something be sides proficiency at football, was well founded. In contrast to Dr. Stewart’s atti tude, Coach Bezdek, of Oregon, picks four Aggie players on his All-North west aggregation. WOMEN’S LEAGUE CONTINUES WORK TO AID WAR SUFFERERS About 20 women of the Women’s League are doing actual work in be half of the war sufferers. Several of the members who knit are making wristlets and scarfs fo rthe soldiers who are fighting in Belgium, and oth ers are making warm woolen gar ments for the women and children. The materials are purchased by the League, and by charitable organiza tions of Eugene. Several sewing ma chines have been offered for the use of the women doing the Red Cross sewing. The finished garments are sent to Portland, from where they are shipped to Europe through the Red Cross agency. *********** * STUDENT COUNCIL * * Regular meeting Wednesday * * evejiing, 7:15 o’clock, Professor * * Ayer’s room, Library. * *********** The regular monthly colloquium of the faculty will be held this even ing, following a dinner at the Dormi tory.

NANCE CORNELL GETS room CAPTAINCY TWO OREGON PLAYERS SECURE UNANIMOUS VOTE FOR ALLNORTHWEST ENTIRE TEAM KAY RETURN Coach Bezdek and Saptain-Elect Hope to Make 1915 a Big Football Year for Oregon By Harry Kuck. As a fitting climax to a successful season, the 18 football artists who have won their letters this year have chosen Anson Cornell, one of the headiest football players that ever stepped on a Northwest gridiron, as their 1915 captain. “Nance” is a Junior and has won his big “0” all three years of his football career at Oregon. His clever headwork and remarkable open field running have been responsible for many Lemon Yellow scores. He would have undoubtedly been chosen All-Northwest quarterback this fall had he been able to participate in more games. He has been practically out or football since the Idaho game, in which his knee was badly injured. All football critics who have ven tured to select an All-Northwest elev en for the past season agTee unani mously upon the following: men: Ty rer, of W. S. C., for one end; Ander son, of Washington, for one tackle; Cook, of Oregon, for one guard; and all contrive to get Parsons, of Ore gon; Lutz, of O. A. C.; nad Miller, of Washington, in the backlield. There is a difference of opinion upon the other choices. For the other end job only two men have been named: Huntley, of 0. A. C., and Hunt, of Washington. Although Hunt played a bang-up game against Ore gon at Seattle, his work in the other games has only been mediocre. Hunt ley is favored for the position. All critics but Varnell, of Spokane, think that Beckett, of Oregon, is the best all around tackle in the confer ence, but Varnell gives Laythe, of O. A. C., the preference. Groniger, of Idaho, is another sterling tackle, who deserves honorable mention in picking the season’s stars. There seems to be no concensus of opinion as to who should be Sam Cook’s running mate in the peerless mythical aggregation. Coach Bezdelc of Oregon and Roscoe Fawcett, of the Oregonian, pick Moore, of 0. A. C.; R. A. Cronin, of the Oregon Journal, picks Seagraves, of Washington; and George Varnell shifts Groniger, of (Continued on page 4.) NANCE CORNELL
