OREGON EMERALD VOL. 17. EUGENE, OREGON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1915. NO. 21. “BON VOYAGE” BIN TEAM EN ROUTE SOOTH Boolas and Oskies Mingle as Train Bearing Warriors Pulls Out. II. S. C. DOPE IS REVIEWED Knowledge of Rugby Will Aid in Defeating Oregon Is South ern Belief. (By Chester Fee) The team left yesterday with all the good wishes and Oregon spirit they were able to carry away with them, and it is something which will no doubt stand them in good stead when they bunch up against the big proposition they are going down to handle. Everything in the way of circumstances seems to have broken against them; but that old fight that was instilled into them when the rooters assembled at the train, will put them on the road to victory. There is not much known about U. S. C. in this neck of the woods, ex cept a few facts, and a few rumors. It is claimed that they used only their second Jjeam in the game in which they defeated the University of California. This hardly seems possible, for if they had not known the exact strength of the team from the larger school they would have taken no chances of losing all the honor which attends a victory over California. A statement from the south carries the information that U. S. C. is go ing to overwhelm Oregon with a sys tem of lateral passes, which they have acquired from their long as sociation with rugby. This may be possible, but is improbable, be cause no team has eve. been able to accomplish wonders with the lateral pass. There are several reasons for this. First, the ball cannot advance in the air, and as the players really work out, the ball is being continual ly thrown back, sometimes even far ther than it has been advanced. Another thing is, if any one of the players who is supposed to be in the play is knocked over, the whole thing is ruined right there. Cer tainly since all the men have had some experience in the rugby game, they will, no doubt, be adept in handling the ball, but even at that, we can rely upon Coach Bezdek for some defensive formation which will make their lateral pass harder to ex ecute than they expect. In the game against the University of California, the U. S. C. team at tempted 11 forward passes, and only three of them succeeded. If they are such experts in handling the ball, It seems that they should be able to complete more passes than credited. Such a record might do justice to a poorly coached high schodl team, but as the record for a team so far ad vanced in the game as the southern , p iayers are supposed to be, seems ridiculous. The University of Washington team passed through Eugene on their way to Berkeley,where they will mix with California, upon the same day that we tie up with U. S. C. Wash ington is going to run up against some of the difficulties we will en counter, but they will have a bunch of 250 yelling men and women to support them, while the noise that wends its way to heaven in an effort to stimulate Oregon will be almost ns loud as those emanating from a stone sarcophagus on a cold and wintry mornipg. The Washingtonites have charter ed a boat and are traveling steerage. The fare for them is only $16. This (Continued on Page Four) Shun Tradition; Juniors’ Protest Faculty Take Possession of Benches That Juniors Claim Their Rightful Inheritance. The juniors claim that the faculty has encrouched upon their traditional anid time-honored place of seating during the assembly hour, and a low rumor of protest has been current on the campus for some time past. The protest finally assumed form when a resolution was passed in the last class meeting recommending that this section be reserved exclusively for the seating of the seventeens. During a recent hour of hymnals and speeches, the juniors marching in to assume their wonted positions near the rostrum found, much to their astonishment and chagrin that the respected Ph.D.’s and other pro fessors had invaded the benches which by legend are bequeathed from year to year by the upperclass men. With troubled countenances and amid considerable confusion re sulting in the separation of friend from friend and clique from clique, they were finally seated. Shortly afterwards a group of President Scaiefe’s subjects banded themselves together as an opposition party and lobbied through a bill of protest which, it is hoped, will result in less trespassing on private territory. 19’ERS WORK ON FIRE Initial Plan of Excelsior Fuel Abandoned: Old Fence and Bleachers Secured. Paul Downard, chairman of the freshman bonfire committee, marshal led a battalion of “frosh” Tuesday afternoon and commenced gathering material for the fire, which will be touched off on the evening before the O. A. C.-Oregon game, Nov. 20th. The old fence and bleachers of the Springfield ball park have been se cured already and the committee has in view an old house and barn on Alder street. “Our original plans have been changed considerably,” said Dean Straub yesterday. “At first we in tended to build a pyramid of excel sior and soak it with oil. The pile would have been 25 feet high and made a dandy fire, but some upper classmen nagged at the freshmen un til they consented to the old lumber type of fire. “Excelsior would cost not more than $60; burned for two hours; re quire only an hour or so to build and would leave no mess. A lumber bonfire necessitates several days work and under the present rule, freshmen cannot be excused. “Next year we are going to have an excelsior bonfire,” added Dean Straub emphatically. New Haven—Charlie Taft, son of ex-President Taft, now a professor of law at Yale, has been elected cap tain of the Yale basketball team for this year. Taft plays guard on the team and has occupied that position for two years. A University of Michigan profes sor—Rene Talamon—serving in the French army in Europe, has been decorated for bravery in action. He led his men in a charge after hav ing -been ordered to the rear be cause of wounds. LIBRARY HOURS Hereafter the library will be open to students from 7:45 a. in. until 10 p. m. on Mondays, Tues days, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, and from 8 a. m. until fl p. m. on Saturdays. SOLEMN TRIBUTE PAID TO LATE SI FRIENDLY That Next Building Be Named in His Honor Is Tooze’s Suggestion. A feeling of reverence spread over the assembly as the students and citizens of Eugene gathered in Villard hall yesterday to pay homage to the late S. H. Friendly, regent for 20 years, and friend of the Univer sity. His life was like the spire of a great cathedral, “beautiful at close view, but the true height and breadth of which cannot be compre hended,’’ said Lamor Tooze, presi of the student body. “Mr. Friendly’s inspiring words, ‘victory will be ours,’ will always be missed at the football rallies. His genial g»od na ture and willingness to aid them in their pursuit of an education, either financially or otherwise, has won for him the esteem of all the stu dents. In behalf of the student body, Tooze suggested that, as a fitting tribute to the memory of Mr. Friendly, the next building to be erected on the campus should be named in his honor. Judge J. W. Hamilton of Rose burg, a member of the board of regents, spoke of him as a regent of the University. “There were times when the sun did not shine as brightly for the University as It does now,” said Judge Hamilton, “btu his faith in the future of the institution was eve1* a sustaining factor. “Mr. Friendly was never slow to make a decision, but it was always tempered with that fine sense of justice and consideration. We should do well to exemplify such a life as his.” President P. L. Campbell spoke of Mr. Friendly’s large outlook and his faitli in the possibilities of the University. “Some men live on the mountain top and are possessed of that breadth of vision with which which nothing is impossible. They are not handicapped by the mass of Retails as are those of, the lowlands. His expression, ‘make it big,’ was typical of his attitude toward every enterprise of the institution since the time when it was housed in one building. Mr. Friendly believed not only in the education of men for leaders but in raising the level of the masses by means of education.” L. I. Goodrich, of the class of 1901 acknowledged in behalf of the busi ness organizations of Eugene the debt which they owe to his memory for his influence in placing the city in the place It now holds among the cities of the state. “His success was not made by some good fortune,” said Mr. Goodrich, “but it was due to unrelenting toil and promptness in appointments together with his com prehensive view of life.” The combined women’s and men’s glee clubs and orchestra rendered solemn and appropriate selections. GLEE CLUB TO TAKE TIUP. “We’re going on a trip but we don’t know where or when,” said Eva Brock, president of the Women’s Glee club. Last year we toured southern Oregon. This year we would like to go north.” The women are practicing every night for their annual concert to be given soon after Christmas. The va cancy left by the withdrawal of Grace Bingham from the club will be filled soon. Fullback Williams of Pennsylva nia college did not know until Mon day that he had made the only score or his team against Pittsburg Satur lay. Williams was dazed by a blow r. Rebec’s lec ture Wednesday afternoon at 4 o’clock In Johnson hall. This was the second in a series of lectures on great artists. November 17 he will lecture on Michael Angelo, in Dean Straub’s room, at Johnson hall. Roswell Dosch, instructor in art, advises all art students to attend these lectures. Dr. Rebec, in his lecture Wednes day, spoke of the influence of Francis of Assisi, on the art of his time. He said that “St. Francis was next to St. Paul the most important figure in the Christian world. He radiated a passion of love which rebuilt the idea of love and entranced man kind. Franciscanism remade the civ ilization of Europe and helped to >verthrow medevalism. The spirit )f St. Francis profoundly influenced Italian art. Raphale shows this in fluence. He was easily influenced and assimilated knowledge very read ily. His great masterpiece was Sis tine Madonna. It seems to reconcile heaven and earth and to present to us a human heaven.” Ross MacKenna of Portland was a week-end guest at Sigma Chi. Soap-Boxers Bull Way Into “Frat” Neophytes Into Alpha Kappa Psi Conduct Revival Services From Aerial Perches. Three soap-boxers, Bob McMurray, Floyd South and Jack Elliot, in vaded the University precincts today as neophytes of the commerce hon orary fraternity, Alpha Kappa Psi. Eleven o’clockers mushing their wearisome way to the pre-dinner or deals were lured by liquid notes from the three Initiates, one uncomfort ably perched on the pinnacle of the senior fount, another at the entrance of Deady hall, and the third on the steps of the library. South’s oration was little better than an 11 o’clock, and prolifically propounded economic and commercial history until kindly requested to “cut it.” Bob McMurray established himself as the silver-throated orator. It is thought that he was rehearsing an oration to be delivered for the Beekman prize, two years hence. Jack Elliott suffered from an at tack of nervous tremors. The initiation will be concluded this evening at the Osborn hotel, af ter the Alpha Kappa Psi banquet. ! JUICE INSPIRES POET IKE His Loganberry Song Is One of 25 Winners in Land Show Contest. With his initial attempt at poetry proving as successful as it has, Iver toss, more commonly known as “Ike” may write poetry for his life work, that is, if his friends’ encourage ment has anything to do with it. One of his latest outbursts entitled “Log Janberrles”, to be sung to the tune of “Annie Laurie”, iwas listed as one of the best 25 songs on the subject received In the Manufacturers and Land Products Show contc&t. This song was one of three which Ike composed within half an hour accord ing to witnesses.

"CO-OP” PUNS MATERIALIZE Committee On Revision of Con stitution Instructed to Pre pare Amendment. The honor system of government it the University is dropped as far is the student council is concerned. \t a meeting held last night, the ;ouncil went on record as disfavoring he honor system at Oregon at the present. The committee reporting )n the matter gave as their reason tor opposing its adoption the fact hat no clamor for the honor system las come from the students. “Until such a clamor does come,” mid Chester Miller, “I think the natter is ended.” Other measures which the student :ouncil has been considering for lome time were brought up—some settled, some left in the air. As to ;lie cooperative store, after an ex :ended report on the financial side )f tlio project, the committee on •evislon of the constitution was in structed to prepare an amendment providing for a student cooperative store, with the recommendation that jontrol be retained in the student council. Figures prepared by M. H. Doug las, as to the library book store, which he is willing to turn over to :lie student “co-op,” showed that for ;he first semester last year the book sales were $4288; for the second semester $2604. The present value of the business he figured at $2, 117.00. Mr. Douglas and (President Campbell started the bookstore six years ago, without capital. Dr. Douglas recommended that if the students took over the store they add student sundries to the stock, because of the fact that there is not much profit on books. “We must consider what the stu dents can save, not the business of the down-town merchants,” said Chester Miller. “I find it hard to ne gotiate a loan down town (that is for the student body), but if we get good security, we can do it. Then we would have the $400 or $600 from student shares to use as capital for sundries. “Dr. Morton will take over the book store if the students don’t, but he does not wish to stand In the way of the students. If they take It over, he says he will stand behind them.” A vote of thanks for “the very lib eral offer of Mr. Douglas and Presi dent Campbell to turn over the book store business free of charge” passed unanimonsly. The continuation of “class hours” was recommended by the student council, with the provision that they be held in the evening. The Emerald and Oregana are furthering a movement to secure more advertising for their publica tions, and to find out whether the local merchants are advertising in proportion to the student trade they get. The house managers of the fra ternities, 10 or 12 of whom were present at the meeting, agreed to cooperate with the Investigating com mittee to trade wih stores that ad vertise tin the student publications. Floyd Westerfield reported all of the tradesmen that he had inter viewed, with one exception, as favor ing the plan. "It is not a boycott,” said Lamar Tooze. “It is an effort to find out if we are getting the support we de (Continued on Page Four)
