(3400 WORTH OF WORK SECURED TO STUDENTS Campus Y. M. C. A. Rustles Jobs and Keeps Studes from Financial Stringencies. .Since the opening of the full semester the University Y. M. C. A. hns secured $3400 worth of work for University stu dents. Not one student yet has returned home through lack of work to furnish him the wherewithal to continue his stud ies. The Y. M. lias also conducted a hook exchange which it is estimated hns saved the students $800. In order to rustle work for the stu dents, J. I). Foster, the secretary of the association, personally interviewed the Eugene merchants in a canvass for work to keep needy students in college. “Much of the good showing of the Y. M. C. A. for this year,” says Cloyd O. Dawson, president of the Y. M. C. A., “is due to the work of Mr. Foster.” Mr. Foster is a graduate of University of California and lias also taken two years of graduate work in that institution. His work in California was similar to the position which lie holds at Oregon. Among the various phases of Y. M. ('. A. work this year are the vocational lec tures for the Oregon students. Subjects of interest as law, journalism, architec ture, education, ministry, government service, medicine, compose the themes of the different lectures. Speakers for tin series are prominent men in the various mentioned professions. These addresses to date have been well attended. Vesper services with an average at tendance of 400, are held on one Sunday of each month in Villard hall. This draws special speakers to the campus. Those who have spoken are: l>r. C. <1. Doney, president of the Willamette University, and Kishop Walter 'J'. Sumner. This year special freshmen discussion groups have been organized in three of the fraternities and the dormitory. These discussions are led by faculty members. The problems discussed are social, finan cial and moral. More of these groups are to be organized next year. Deputation trips of Y. M. <’. A. mem bers are taken to nearby towns. Cres well and Springfield have already re ceived vists. Four more trips are plan ned before the year is completed. These will be to Cottage Drove, Medford, ltose burg, Ashland, (Irants Pass, and possibly Portland. The plan is to spend the week-end ill the town selected and mix socially with the people, entertain at vari ous functions, conduct hikes and picnics of boys and girls. A V. M. C. A. bas ketball team will make some of these trips. On Sunday the members of the deputation talk in the various churches. The purpose of these trips is to stimulate thi> moral development of the youth in the town visited and to let the people of the state know that there is a strong and progressive religious and moral influence in the University. Plans are culminating for a social ser vice survey to be taken of Eugene and Springfield. liislmp Walter 'I'. Sumner will assist in arrangements for the sur vey. Too Much Football Incapacitates “Anse” Captain Cornell, Hero of Many Gridiron Battles, Is Martyr to the Cause. ('upturn Anson Conic'll is the' man to whom wo all tloff our hats, llo is made of tho stuff Oregon nioit arc niado of, and those' qualities are being continually dis played hy tho little midget, both on tho field and classroom. "Anse" ran into a lot of hard luck last year about the middle ol the' se'ason and was laid up with a slipped cartilage ami water on tho knee'. After Thanksgiving he Intel an operation performed on the' in juretl nii'ltlher, and e'Verything loe'ki'il fill!' lor him this tall, lent he soou dise*e>ve't'e‘d that In' could not play the game. There is a certain turn to the left that throws his hg out ot place at awry trial, lie1 was culled upon frequently l<> make' these turns in the' game, and every time the same thing happened he had to limp to the hellch. He' said he could not play. Hut not for an instant did he in'glect his duty, as luappi'd out by the god of fat,.. Kverr night "Anse' stopped into his uniform and uppeared ut>ou the field with the rest of the' uii'ii. He talked with the coach, and he talked with the men. and it is here that the work of the little captain was of the most value, lie talks right straight from the shoulder, and says what he thinks. If he feels that the man needs a "cussiu’ ” lie gets it, and the men are growing to like it, because they real ire that lie can show them their weak nesses, especially in regard to feeling and doing better than they themselves can see them. lit will he seen on the diamond this year, for Ins injured knee doe.s not inter fell' with the less strenuous game. lie is captain in this branch of athletics, too, which shows how much he is appreciated. The I'niversiiy is going to lose a great athlete, a fine studen^ and a real man when Cornell is graduated this coming spring. “A FIGHTING CHANGE," SAYS GOAGH OF TEAM Frieda Goldsmith, Co-ed Hock ey Mentor, Has Troubles, but Asserts, “We Will Fight.” “We have a fighting chance.” This is all Frieda Goldsmith, hockey coach, would say to lav in regard to the outcome of the Oregon-O. A. C. hock ey game to be played here Saturday. “We will fight,” say the local girls. Hut they all refused to predict the re sult of the game. The personnel of the Oregon team: lather Furtiset, goal; Margaret Crosby and Ilallie Ilart, insides; Terressa Cox and Olga Soderstrom, wings; Jennie Hunter, Eyla Walker, and Jean Bell, half backs; Mabel Van Xante and Claire Warner, full backs; and Essie McGuire and Helen Withycombr, as substitutes. Severaf~Chungos may yet be made in the team's lineup before the end of the week. All girls who have tried out for the team are to don gym suits Saturday, and perhaps each one of them may have a chance to help Oregon win. The co-eds have been out practicing every day, rain or shine, except yester day, when Jupiter sent down just a little too much for the girls to make any pi ogress on the field. However, time was not lost, for the girls were put through all sorts of strenuous gymnastic exercises in the physical corrective room. Ienter the off-side plays and hockey tactics were explained by the hockey coaches. "I think our team could improve greatly. There is very little team play,” said Miss Goldsmith, in speaking of the weak points of the team. Last year the reason that both the Oregon and O. A. C. teams were victor ious oil their home fields was no doubt due to the difference of the fields. Last year the Corvallis team played in the college armory, which has a smooth ground, while the Oregon team played on a rought, open field. This year both teams have been playing on a rough, open field, so the Oregon team will not have this advantage over O. A. C. The support of the entire student body is needed to help the Oregon team win. The girls say "We can play better when there is a crowd cheering us on.” I si set year at Oregon-O. A.C. game at Corvallis, the armory was crowded with students and townspeople; when the re turn match was played in Eugene a few months later there was only a bout 25 witnesses, and some of these were but passing pedestrians. The (). A. C. girls didn't say anything, but they looked "things.” On November 20, the local girls want to prove from those from Corvallis that their student body is be hind them. The student rally at Wednesday’s as sembly, is said to be the* biggest “pep fest” ever witnosed on the Oregon cam pus. Frosh Win by Fight (Continued from page throe) Oregon became aggressive ns tin' game worn on niul in tin- second quarter seem ed to lie more than holding her own. To ward the end of this period, 'Pucker, a substitute playing full hack, intercepted a pass and ran sixty yards through a large portion of the (». A. C. team for a touchdown. Jensen failed to convert the goal kirk into the additional point. Curlier in the quarter an (). A. C. man picked up a fumble and scored tv touch down, but was brought back on account of running out of bounds. Harbor, who had been playing a fast and brilliant game for the Frosh. was disqualified on this play for tackling the runner behind the goal line. ltesides the loss of this man Oregon was penalized half the dis tance to their own goal. Oregon was on the offensive during the larger part of the third quarter hut the strain of the one-sided fight the boy> were putting up began to tell before they changed goals for the final division ol the contest. Several substitutes were New Gypsy Boot $4.25 The very newest thing in Wom en’s foot wear. These come in soft kid leather in 1-1 button style.

Price .$1.35 sent in and a careful defensive game be gun. Here the superior condition of the Ag gies began to tell and they once had the Oregon goal in serious danger, only to be held on downs. Oregon now took to punting on first down ami playing with only a view toward safety. At the very end of the period the Aggies attempted to punt. Even as the ball was passed Piel, Oregon tackle, broke through the line, blocked the kick, recovered it, and sped for a touch down across the clear field between him and the goal line. As the play had started before the whistle was blown the score was allowed. ' The goal was not kicked. The game was one of the scrappiest and hardest ever seen on Kincaid field. It was simply a case of nerve, fight and the right winning in a righteous cause against heavy odds. The Oregon lineup was Cook, Barbour and MicKinuey, ends; Johns, Watkins and Piel, tackles; Brown, Skidmore, Earl and Clubb, guards; Downard, center; Jensen and -McDonald, halves; Holcomb, full; Tucker, full.
