TWELVE PUSS PRESCOTT Debate Tryout Results in Selection of Three-Fourths of the Aspirants Only sixteen of the thirty who in tended to enter the forensic contests appeared at the tryout last Monday af ternoon. The plan to have Mr. Prescott, who is tot coach the debating teams again this year, as the sole judge of the try out was endorsed by all contestants. The tryout lasted three hours. Those who successfully passed the prelim inaries were: Victor Morris, , Fred Hardesty, Peter Crockett, Bert Lom bard, Nicholas Jaureguy, Cloyd Daw son, Prentiss Brown, Lamar Tooze, Ernest Watkins, Hobart McFadden, McDowell, William Holt. NANCE CORNELL ELECTED TO FOOTBALL CAPTAINCY (Continued from page 1.) Idaho, over to a guard berth. Var nell’s scheme seems the most logical. Groniger was a mainstay of the Idaho line and a terror to all opponents. Clarke, of W. S. C., and Risley, of Oregon, seem to be in a class by themselves for the cented job. Ris ley is handicapped in that he was un able to participate in the 0. A. C. game. While Clarke worked consis tently well throughout the season, Risley led him for the honor before falling heir to the mumps. Fawcett, Cronin and Vamell have all agreed upon Hoover, as their quar ter but Coach Bezdek’s backfield looks the best: Lutz, of O. A. C., quarter; Parsons, of Oregon, and Miller, of Washington, halves; and Abraham, of O. A. C., fullback. It is hard to make room for Hoover and displace any of these stars. In fact, Bernard, of W. S. C., and Smith, of Washington, have about as good a claim for the pivot berth as Hoo ver. All agree that Lutz, Parsons and Miller deserve backfield positions, and Shiel, of Washington, and Abra ham, of O. A. C., are both deserving of special notice. The line plunging of Abraham has not been excelled this year. Every football letter man at Ore gon is eligible for next season and it is Coach Bezdek's and Captain Cornell’s earnest hope that all will return and make 1915 a big year in football for the University. WESTERN GIRLS ARE SLOW ATHLETICALLY (Continued from page 1.) “Why, I have selected field days,” declared Professor Sweetser, “and would think I had worked up worlds of enthusiasm. But when the hour came to start and I went to the ap pointed meeting place, two girls and a yellow dog would be there, and the yellow dog was the only one who had any energy. Yes, we pay the price for our climate.” The gift of $10,000,000 offered to Harvard University by Major Clar ence Wiener, of London, with the pro vision that the institution dispense with the services of Professor Hugo Munsterberg, has evidently not tempted the college authorities, for they recently refused the resignation of the noted psychologist. Munster berg has been prominent for hia strong pro-German attitude. TWELVE NEWTHESPIMSI MAKE DRAMATIC CLUB Other Candidates to Have a Second Tryout After Thanksgiving Vacation The Dramatic Club held a tryout Thursday evening in the rooms of the Civil Engineering Building. Dr. Ralph Bennett, who will coach the club this year, Bert Jerard, Maurice Hill, and Josephine Moorhead were judges.. o The following contestants were suc cessful in making the club: Robert McMurray, Merlin Barley, Wallace Martyn, Don Orputt, Jack Dolph, Ben Fleishman, Earl Smith, Echo Zahl, Julia Platt, Gladys Colwell, Ruth Mc Clain and Hazel Ralston. However, all the places on the club have not been filled and a second try out will be held some time after the Thanksgiving vacation. Those who “got by” the judges for the second tryout are: Juanita Wilkins, Leura Jerard, Beulah Hayes, Roberta Kil lam, Erma Keithley, Sara Barker, Grace Reed, Alice Bingham, Ann Wil son Flawnnice Killingsworth, Marjo rie McGuire, Nicholas Jaureguy, Rich ard Nelson, Edison Marshall, Elton Loucks and Charles Lowry. “I am greatly pleased with the try. outs,” said Dr. Bennett, “and am sur prised at the amount of dramatic tal ent here among the students on the whole. The women are better than the men, and it was a real task to pick out the best ones. (bneet copy missing) “The club this year will put on two or three modern plays. We intend to enlarge the club so that the casts in the plays can be larger. There is no reason why we can't have one of the best dramatic clubs in the country, and I am looking forward to a very successful year.” * Mr. Prescott will meet the class * in Girls' Debating Wednesday * evening, December 2, at 7:00 P. * M., in Professor Howe’s room, * Deady Hall.

C. EA TON, Prop., 29 Ninth A v. En JOURNALISM DEPARTMENT HAS BEGINNINGS OF A MUSEUM A museum of printing has been started by Professor Eric Allen, of the Department of Journalism, in his class room in the basement of McClure Hall. The museum is not merely for exhibition purposes, but is a store case for material which will actually be used in one or another of Professor Allen’s classes. The collection consists of various materials used in all processes of printing, from the metals of which the type and stereotype alloys are composed to the printing cuts them selves. The exhibits thus far have been largely picked up by Professor Allen at one of the local newspaper offices. Some of the prints, however, were given to him by O. R. Ball, of the American Type Foundry. “I am expanding my course in The Technique of Newspaper Manufac ture,” said Professor Allen, “and I de cided I must have my own collection of exhibits to illustrate what I was talking about. I intend to enlarge the collection from time to time.” DR.
