OREGON VOL. 17. EUGENE, OREGON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1915. NO. 20. Everybody Sing, “We Will Win” at the Depot Tomorrow at 5 p. m. FORENSIC COUNCIL RESCINDS ACTION Former Decision of Three to Two Was Voice of the Minority Says Prescott. 0. A. G. IS ALSO FAVORABLE Ways and Means of Securing Coaches For Intra-Collegiate Debates Are Considered. Woman’s suffrage may not tri umph in New Jersey, Alabama may defeat it, and Wisconsin may cut it dead, but women are to debate on the University of Oregon teams if the forensic council can yet sign up a contract including them. This comes as the result of a meet ing of the forensic council yester day afternoon at which it was de cided by a vote of four to three to rescind the former action of the council barring women from Univer sity teams. That this former decision of three to two was the voice of a minority is the opinion of R. W. Prescott, as sistant professor of public speaking. He says that the resolution which was rescinded yesterday had been repugnant to a majority of the council. The council will now go ahead and sign up a new contract. Professor Prescott says that O. A. C., also, is now favorable to co-eds debating on regular teams and that Reed may change. Ways and means of securing coaches for intra-collegiate debates were considered at the meeting. The idea is to develop more debaters by having two teams, one for women and for men in each college class. Possibly a trophy would be presented to the winning team. The committee, as follows, was appointed to take up the matter: Dr. J. H. Gilbert, Nich olas Jaureguy, and Professor Pres cott. At the final debate tryout Satur day, Edwin Cox, and Hobart Mc Padden were retained for the team, with Amy Carson as alternate. Other students who are out for debate are: Walter Myers, Nicholas Jaureguy, Rosalind Bates, Cloyd Dawson, Earl Fleischmann, Dal King, and William McMurra>. The theory of debate will be work ed out before the debaters fasten down to a specific question, Professor Prescott says. A meeting of de baters will be held in his class room Thursday at 3 o’clock. MORE THAN TWO SCORE ENTRANTS IN LEAGUE High schools which have recently announced themselves as entrants in the Oregon High School Debating league number 4 2 in all.

There are a num ber of changes in the entries since last year, and the number has been increased by one. BullDurhamLures Forgetful Georgia Colton Flirts With My Lady Nicotine On Campus. Hot Hands Exact Penalty. (By Echo June Zahl) Perhaps it was the autumn air that filled him full of pep. However, big George Colton sat on the libr’y step. Sweet lulling tunes were in the breeze—it seemed that George was doped. For right out on those campus steps—he grabbed his pipe and smoked. Now smoking is not such a sin—if on the street you see—but is a forbidden thing on our fair campustry. Three seniors ’neath a tree did stand, their minds with thoughts be guiled, when “Bull Duhr’m” fumes from George’s pipe their nostrils then defiled. With flaming eyes and flying feet they on poor George did swoop—the strength of six “senorious” hands did jerk him off the stoop. “The mill race is too good for him,” cried “Bat.” “It is too mild. I claim we ought to spank him—like any naughty child.” Two knees, six hands—six irate hands—were quickly brought to play. George has resolved that smoking on the campus doesn’t pay. 17 STUDENTS HAVE HONOR PRIVILEGES Opportunity For Research Given. Cuts Not Counted Nor Regular Work Required.

If the faculty ignores the petition of the students, a fuller schedule is promis ed for the ‘Doughnut’ league.” A meeting of the representatives of the different fraternities will be jheld soon. WEST SURPRISES ERST IN FORIRALl CLASH O. A. C. 3000 Miles Prom Home Spills Dope By Defeating Michigan Aggies 20-0. (By Jimmy Sheehy) The most striking example of ‘dope spilling” in many years was staged last Saturday when the west met the east at East Lansing, Michi gan. The Oregon Aggies, 3000 miles rom home, upheld the honors of the ‘wild and wooly west,” and incident ally “spilled” all the critic’s dope, by trouncing the Michigan Aggies 20 to 0. Sporting writers throughout the country figured Dr. Stewart’s team was in line for an awful beating. 50 to 0 was a common prediction. No less a personage than Roscoe Faw cett, sporting editor of the Morning Oregonian, voiced a 27 to 7 defeat for the invaders. However, many were much wiser when the returns of the game came in, and are now fully assured as to the trutlf of the old maxim, “It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a sporting scribe to predict with accuracy the winners and the scores of football games.” Yet the ever gullible fans demand and insist on the dope sheet to whet their appetities before the classic struggles. Hence a few predictions for the big Oregon-O. A. C. game of November 20. In the first place the score is go ing to be close with the long end on either side. That old term “luck” that coaches are wont to call the “breaks of the game” is bound to play an important factor in the final outcome. An intercepted pass, a blocked kick, a fumble, are only a few. of the many breaks that can change defeat into victory with but a minute left to play. PHOTOS TO ILLUSTRATE ENGRAVING AND ETCHING The department of journalism of the University of Oregon is to have a set of photographs within a very short time showing the complete pro cess of engraving and etching. Some time ago the Hicks Chatten Engraving company of Portland of fered to make these photographs for the University in order to display their work. Every stage of the pro cess will be illustrated from the neg ative to the finished print. The subject for these photographs will be the oldest printing press west of the Rocky Mountains. The old press is now in possession of the Uni versity department of journalism and s in as good condition today as when purchased, according to Professor JO. W. Allen. Two pictures of the old press were sent the engraving com pany from which to work, one draw ing and one photograph. The photographs when received will be on display in the journalism room in the basement of McClure hall. About sixty former Oregon stu dents met at the Hotel Marion, Sa lem, Friday evening, October 29, at a banquet and organized into a per manent alumni association to be known as the Marion County Alum ni association. These officers were elected: 'President, Dr. Carlton Smith; secretary-treasurer, Benjamin .Williams. Among those who spoke were Mrs. George Gerlinger, Presi jdent Prince L. Campbell, Mrs. Jennie Beatie Harris, Dr. Carlton Smith, Ben Williams, Mrs. Lottie Johnson Smith, Walter C. Winslow. ! MEMORIAL SERVICES ASSEMBLY PR06RIUH Late Hon. Samson H.

He died August 13, 1915, having served continuously on the board 20 '’years and two months. His enthus iasm and progressiveness were mark jed characteristics. His funds were always at the beck and call of needy students. But his modesty would never allow him to tell the tales of his philanthropy. He had keen busi ness ability, as proved by his success as a Eugene merchant. His death was due to heart trouble, and came at a time when he was planning on attending the exposition at San Fran cisco. PROF.

CREDIT GIVEN AGGIES IN VERSY ATTEMPT Difference of Attitude Toward Rival’s Victory Moves Gilbert to Rhyme. (By DeWitt Gilbert) What did you say when the news came in of the “Beavers’ ” clean defeat }f the Michigan Aggies, way back east? What did you say when they beat? )id you snort and sneer and say, ‘Bull luck. A fluke. A frame-up. so?” Did you say, “They bought the um pire. The ’Doc’s’ a crook clean through. (Michigan must have been putrid. They must have a rotten bunch. <o good comes out of O. A. C. They lack the nerve and the punch. Something was wrong for, how on earth, could the Aggies do any thing right? {They’re farmers. They’re bohunks. They’re yellow. They haven’t a vestige of fight.” Or did you say, when Obak called up from his cigarette store— ‘Michigan Aggies, nothing—O. A. C. tallies a score"— ‘Hurray for the boys from Corvallis. They did what I hoped they would do. They skinned the hide off the middle west. In their triumph we tri umph, too. They have vindicated our football. On the map they have put our coast. n their victory lleth our honor. In their prowess lleth our boast. They know how to play football. Have the nerve, the brains, the speed.

FIFTEEN FOOTBALLERS FLV SOUTH TOMORROW On Eve of 1300 Mile Trip Bez dek Says “All Well, Boys, We’re Off.” MANY ARE ON THE SICK LIST Large Turnout of Rooters Is Expected at 5 O’clock Wednesday Evening. (By Chester Pee) Tomorrow at 5 o’clock the football team of 15 men, accompanied by Coach llezdek, Trainer Hayward, and Manager Tiffany, start on their 1300 mile trip to Los Angeles, where they meet the University of Southern Cal ifornia on November 6. Coach Bezdek said, in regard to the coming game: “The boys are working hard and conscientiously and that is all I ask. If they will do this, we will be able to get some place ultimately. That’s all.” And Napoleon IV smiled laconically as he turned away, and entered the shower room. Last year O. A. C. defeated the team from IT. S. C. very decisively at Tacoma, so there are reasons to hope, although there are rumors to the effect that the team they are putting into he field his year is far fuperior to the one of last year. No matter how things go, it will at oast be another link in the dope chain by which comparisons of the teams of the northwest, especially in regard to the University of Washing t>n which was so kind as to break our written contract so that they could play the University of Califor nia on this same date, can be made. U. S. C. defeated California by a con siderable margin. The boys are not especially elated over the Willamette game, despite the fact that they put a crimp in those forever-budding championship aspirations. The Methodists really Intend to win, but as usual, some thing went wrong. And, as usual, there are a greater number of men upon the Injured list than if they had played a real game last Saturday. For when the men are not exerting themselves to their very limit, they are more liable to injury. Monteitli has water on the knee, and others are nearly as badly off. How ever, the shoulders of both Hunting ton and Mitchell are growing strong er and they should be in fair shape for the southern struggle. Llye Big bee has been feeling under the weather lately—he is not hurt, hut just feeling rotten. . This morning the team went Ithrough an offensive scrimmage, and tomorrow they turn out at 1 o’clock for the final practice, which is to be a defensive scrimmage. Then at 5 they take their places upon the Shasta limited and hit the long and easy trail for Los Angeles: and every man, woman and child in the University should be down at the rain to give them a stimulating send off, for they are to buck one of the hardest games possible when they meet the southern team in the south. Not only do they have to overcome the obstacle of a long, hard train ride with no practice, but they are to meet U. S. C. on their own field before a hostile bunch of rooters, and in weather to which they are far from being accustomed, and which wilt make football playing difficult. So, three rousing cheers for Ore (Continued on page four)
