Bezdek Chooses Five Oregon
Men on His Mythical All
Northwest Aggregation.

(By Chester Fee)
Football now goes on the shelf along
with mother’s jam for nine months more,
and with its departure comes the after
math—the harvest of Indian Summer.
Xow ail the coaches and sport writers
step out into the garden and glom all the
vegetables they would like to have grow
ing in their back yards. They all think
they have the best judgment—:but nat
urally their tastes differ materially, and
some of the plums that tickle one’s pal
ate make another individual gag and
gargle.
Dig Vegetables
All of them used their spades in dig
ging one large sized, fine looking, fierce
playing tackle, by name Johnny Beck
ett. He seems to have been the light that
glared most brightly in the opposing
coaches’ eyes and blinded their hand
raised proteges with his luminary quali
ties. lie was the only man in the north
west that received the -unanimous vote
of those who stuck their fingers into
the pot and tried to get their lunch hooks
on the best of the mulligan. But they
all speared Beckett with their lunch
hooks and concocted a mythical team
with him as the main stay.
Zimmerman and Bangs, end and half,
respectively, of the W. S. C. team, had
all but one of the selectors under the
influence of their magnetic gaze, and
they thereby received the sanction of
ten of the vegetable pickers, I*, by N. B.
of C.
Abraham Stands Out
Abraham, the Aggie bullet, stood out
in the left garden and grabbed 7 votes
for fullback and three for half—missing
one chance out of 11 tries, and fielded !
thereby about .920 for this season’s j
work. Coach Rademacher, of Idaho, does
not seem to be able to see the work j
of the stellar Corvallis fullback, very
far, for he entirely neglected to put ,
down his name. Maybe he has forgotten :
how to spell it.
Miller, the Washington slat stick ar
tist. did not drag down the gallery plaud- ;
its that were handed out in such vast i
globules last season. Only 9 of the 11
bouquets coming over the footlights
were for him, 7 of which were tagged
fullback, and the other two bore the
halfback sign. Dolan and Stewart could
not find his name or pedigree in the
I lick’s Prophetic Almanac, so they cut
him from the waiting list. But even at
that it seems that Washington drew
pretty heavy on the all-star stuff, owing
to the fact that they played only one
conference game, and stacked up against
middle class teams for the remainder of
the time.
Umpires Call Strikes
The umpires called five strikes on
Laytlie for guard and four for tackle,
while Huntington and Durham stacked
up even on the final draw, with four
cards each, while Hoover was forced to
yell “pass with only three cards in his
hand.
For fear some have not given the dou
ble “O” to Coach Bezdek’s selection, it
is herewith hyroglyphieized: =
Ends, Zimmerman and Hunt; tackles.
Beckett and Bartlett; guards. Snyder
and Finney; center, Rislev; quarter,
Huntington; halves. Miller and Bangs;
fullback, Abraham.
It may be said that he chose enough
Oregon men, but it is really an expres

IN TWIN’S ABSENCE, TOOZE
SAYS HE CAN BE HIMSELF
“Yes, Lamar left on the 3:45 train,
Tuesday morning,” said Leslie Tooze
today;” and since then for the first
time in my college career I feel that
I am somebody—not a doubt between
two persons.
“When I meet on the campus I
don’t have to wait any more for that
ethbarrassing moment of stuttering
indecision. Xo more am I greeted by
a slurred 'Lesmar,’ or 'Lamarsley.’ or
simply a murmured something that
sounds like ‘Leasmlrey.’
“People know that Lamar is away
and unhesitatingly deduce that I am
the other one.
"Of course 1 miss him, but for the
first time in years my conscience is
at rest. I can finally live up to that
motto ‘Be yourself.’ ” »
“FOOTBALL SCANDAL” IS
PROBED BY PRES. WILBUR
“We Shall Make an Investigation and
Guilty Parties Will be Punished,”
Says Executive.
That he could find no evidence of
where the winged “M” or any of the
I Diversity of Oregon players or authori
ties had anything to do with the “football
scandal,” was the tenor of President R.
W. Wilbur’s statement last night.
“All the evidence I could secure,” said
President Wilbur this morning, “shows
that Philbrook acted in good faith when
he led O’Rourke on by stating that he
might accept a bribe, and then reporting
it to the club officials. There is nothing
at all which would bring the University
of Oregon into it in any way, or the
Multnomah club, for that matter. We
shall make an investigation at once and
the guilty parties, whoever they are.
shall be punished.”
Coach Hugo Bezdek said: "I watched
both teams closely from the bench in the
Oregon-Multnomah game and saw noth
ing whatever to indicate that any Mult
nomah player was not doing his best to
win.”
O’Rourke Maintains S lence
O’Rourke still persists in maintaining
silence regarding the identity of the man
who was supposed to have offered him
money to throw the game.
McElroy is a friend of O’Rourke’s, and
ilso of Grover Francis. When he found
nit that Francis was going to referee an
outside game and that O’Rourke wasn’t
?oing to play he passed the remark in
front of tin' latter that he would hot $151'
on Oregon if O’Rourke didn’t play.
This is the same amount that O’Rourke
talked of splitting with Philbrook when
the latter told the Multnomah officials
about it.
The following day O’Rourke told McEl
roy that he would probably be in the
game, and the latter says he changed his
mind, wagering $25 on Multnomah before
he left for Salem.
This morning O’Rourke reiterated his
statements regarding offers of money
from men wishing to wager, but said he
wouldn’t give their names until the prop
er time.
BAND WILL GIVE CONCERT SOON
Some day the band will have a “spick
and-span” equipment of uniforms if their
present money-making schemes “pan
out.” In the first place the musicians
have saved the price of new sweaters,
and have placed the sum of $100, which
they had amassed, for safe keeping in
the treasury until the uniforms are
bought. Within a couple of weeks, a con
cert will be given in Villard hull, when
every one will have a chance to hear all
the old favorites from the “Pilgrim
Chorus” from Thanhouser and the “Bo
hemian Girl” to the latest ragtime.
Twice a week., the men, thirty in num
ber. turn out in full force for practice.
It will require about $”00 for the uni
forms and the remainder of the money
will be raised by the proceeds from a
dance, said Albert Perfect, director. The
faculty will lie petitioned for this in the
near future.
A minimum charge of not more than
twenty-five cents will be made for the
concert. *

Is President of N. Y. Writer’s
Association and Editor of
Lawn Tennis Annual
Honr.v Philip Bui'cl^l, sporting editor
of the New York Times, will tell how to
write a good sport story, in Guild hall
tomorrow afternoon at one o’clock.
Mr. Burchell is one of the foremost
sporting writers of the country, and has
been editor of the sporting section of
the Times for fifteen years.
Burchell Played Football
Burchell played football at the Uni
versity of Pennsylavnia and Columbia
University, and has been both a football
and rowing coach. As a member of the
Iona, Vesper and West Philadelphia
clubs of Philadelphia, and the New York
Athletic club, he has rowed in competi
tion over nearly every rowing course in
the country.
Holds Many H gh Offices
He is president of the writers’ asso
ciation of greater New York, and is ed
itor of Spalding’s lawn tennis annual.
In 1805 Furchell won the lightweight
amateur boxing championship of the At
lantic division of the A. A. IT., besides
being in about thirty other contests
about that time.
Was Commissioner to Europe
Furchell was commissioner of the
Jamestown exposition to Europe for the
purpose of interesting foreign exponents
of sports in the exposition of 1007. In
1015 and 1014 he aceomnnied the Giants
and the White Sox baseball teams around

automobile competition ever held in
Manhatten island, New York City.
This sporting writer comes to the

and middle western Universities have
come to the University for Mr. Furchell
requesting him to speak before them.
The speech by Mr. Furchell will close
the program of sporting writers’ week
in the department of journalism of the
University, which is being conducted this
week. On Tuesday a conference of the

Alien plans to accompany him there and
to arrange a luncheon for him with
Portland sporting writers.
“FROSH” WILL HOLD TEST
Hundred Yearlings to Meet Friday and
Pay Homago to Prince Albert and
Marquis of Queensbury.
lie who hears any confidential talk
among the green cap wearers about
drinks on the house, mit fests, and free
lunch, should not too hastily judge that
a Thanksgiving trip home has led him
away from the flock for, in accordance
witli the intentions of more than 100
freshmen, the thoughts may be centered
on the annual frosh smoker which will
hold forth at the Kappa Sigma house on
Friday night.
At the definite hour of 8 the first corn
cob full of Prince Albert is intended to
be lit. At the indefinite hour of any time
later the throng may break up.
Every house on the campus is holding
preliminaries to select two men to repre
sent them with the padded gloves when
Referee Ed. Shockley calls them to the
mat. And some of the coach s aspiring
wrestlers will show the holds while thei
glove-clad friends are working out steps
and stars.
Two 11119 quartettes will make their
initial bow. One from the Beta house
and one from the dormitory will attempt
to make a bigger hit than the Sigma No
four made last year.
At about 9:50 the beerless barroom
will be opened, ns it will several times
later. Free lunch will appear and ru
mor has it that the freshman who does
not smoke or does not "drink * may make
up his loss by more frequent visits to tin
dogs ami pickles, with maybe an extra
sandwich or two also.
Every freshman is invited and all but
a few have already promised to be there
when the “show” starts.
Fortune Thrusts Greatness
on Versatile Vice-Prexy
Some folk are born great, others
achieve greatness, but Harry L.
Kuck of the Dalles had greatness
thrust upon him.
'When Lamar Tooze erstwhile pres
ident of the associated students, was
selected to join Henry Ford’s peace
pilgrimmage to Europe “to end the
war by Christmas,” the vice presi
dent, Harry Kuck, was lolling around
a down-town emporium, watching his
luck in the ivories which were ric
ocheting on the green.
The news of his fortune reached
him just as he deftly placed the deuce
into the side pocket, and “hooked”
himself up on the trey.
Pool was forgotten, and the presi
dent pro tern got stuck for two jit
neys.
A sport in the true sense of the
word, Kuck bought himself a Robert’s
Rules of Order and started grinding,
which has kept him busy ever since.
Not satisfied with merely polish
ing himself up on parliamentary pro
cedure, the president pro tern has
purchased himself a new suit of Sam
peck clothing, which he is wearing in
his new capacity.
GLEESTERS WILL BOMBARD
JUNCTION CITY TOMORROW
i
Concert to be a Tryout for Determining
Who’s Who for a Season Re
plete With Trips.
Aftor more than two months of steady
practice the University of Oregon Men’s
Glee club will give its first public con- |
cert in Junction City tomorrow night.
According to Director Lyman this con
cert will be somewhat of the nature of
a tryout and will determine the who's
who for the night of December 10 when
the Oleesters are scheduled to sing in
i the Eugene theatre.
[ The personnel for the “stunts” has .
not been settled upon finally although |
six tryouts were held in Villard Tuesday
afternoon. Its certain that there is not
a dearth of talent for the feature nets
and as Professor Lyman says its merely
a question of picking the best from the
crowd. “As to the character of the
stunts, they will be original in every
sense of the word.” As far ns can now
be said Jack Dolpli will have one alone
and Hamstreet, Grebe and Burns will
comprise another act. Gillette and Hum
bert, baritones, are also scheduled for
solos.
Extended Tourt to Be Made
The usual extended tour to the prin
cipal eastern Oregon cities will be made
by the Club this season and will occupy
six of the Christmas holidays, from De
cember 27 to January 1. The singers
leave Portland at 10 a. m. on the morn
ing of December 27 by the O. It. A N.,
whitdi has furnished tin* University a
| traffic man to adjust the routing of the
special car to be used.
The Dalles is played on the night of
the 27th. Pendleton the 28th, La Grande
the 20th, Baker the 30th. and llood
Uiver, the 31st. The Club will sing in
Albany New Year’s night on the return
home to Eugene. Manager Leslie Tooze
will leave December 17 to do some ad
vance-agent work in the eastern Oregon
towns such as newspaper advertising,
bill posting and making the necessary
hotel accommodations, returning just in
time to start out on the tour with the
Club on December 27. Students who live
in these towns are being requested to
write home and stir up as muc lienthu
siasm as possible about the coming of
the Club.
FACULTY RULING AIMS
TO REMEDY DEFICIENCY
A new faculty ruling in English was
sanctioned at the last meeting. It pro
vides that, at the end of any semester,
any student in any department, who is
deficient in English shall have appended
to his grade an "Eng’.” This may re
quire the student to enter a different
class in English, or to take special work
in English.
This ruling will go into effect at the
end of this semester and by means of
this a greater emphasis will be thrown
on the English of the student.
Many students who were deficient in
English have neglected that subject after
thcli freshman year, but this ruling is
intended to lay stress on English in all
years.
“I know of no other institution in this
cc untry that has employed this system
and I think it will be entirely satisfac
tory," said \V. F. G. Thneher, in speak
ing of the new ruling.
A two-reel newspaper movie, “Hac
ing tin- Deadline,” depicting scenes of
newspaper work in the Chicago Tribune
office, is being shown to students in the
classes in journalism at the University
of Wisconsin.

WILL GIVE TARTS TO
KIDDIES ID AUDIENCE
Fantasy of Dreamland Will be
Depicted in All Its Splendor in
Guild Hall December 3-4.
MARTHA BEER AS ALICE
Queen of Hearts and Her Royal
Retinue of Pack-Cards
Will be There.
Alice In \\ onderland,” a fantasy in
three acts, by by A. F. Reddie, from
Lewis Carrol's story, will be put on at
(iiiihl hall Friday and Saturday evenings,
Lee. ■> and -4, with a matinee perform
ance Saturday afternoon, the proceeds
of which will go for the benefit of the
Crippled Children’s Fund.
A feature of the matinee performance
will be the distribution of « tart to each
child in the audience by the characters,
in costume, between the second aud third
acts.
Ten Girls Are Trained
Miss Frieda Goldsmith, of the gymna
sium department, is training ten girls,
representing the ace to ten of hearts in
clusive, in a very pretty aud effective
dance, Mr. Dosch, of the department of
drawing and modeling, is helping with
the lighting effects.
As the curtain rises Alice is discover
ed asleep in her garden. Iler dolls rise
and fly away, and the creatures of
Dreamland begin to appear. The White
Rabbit comes out of his hole, aud the
Smirk an ante-deluviun creature with
a long neck, four legs, and a tail, with
flaming eyes and movable jaws, and the
Jabberwock enter and invoke the spir
its of Dreamland, and the pack of cards,
with which Alice had been playing, come
to life. -
The Queen of Hearts who is angry at
Alice, because she became annoyed at
her when she was playing with the cards,
to revenge herself, decides to make some
poisoned tarts and give them to Alice to
eat.
Knave of Hearts Is Villain
The Knave of Hearts is the villain of
the piece. He seizes his opportunity. He
connives with the Smirk and the Jab
herwock, who are to furnish the poison,
and has them provide a harmless substi
tute- He does this in order that he may
steal the tarts and eat them. The gentle
reader will remember the lines:
The Jack of Hearts, he stole some
tarts,
All on a summer’s day.
On this somewhat slender thread the
play is worked out.
"It is a veritable medley of the fantas
ies of dreamland,” said Professor Red
die, “which come and go, and like Mark
Twain’s definition of a kitten, ‘starts
at something and stops before it gets to
it.’ The Cheshire Cat will appear, also
the Griffin and the Mock Turtle, and the
White Itabbit and the Royal Family, aud
the mad tea party will be reproduced at
which Alice was host for the March
Hare, tin* Mad Hatter, and the Door
Mouse.”
Trial n Act Three
Act three takes up the trial of the
Knave of Hearts for stealing the tarts,
and the trial of the Duchess for being
in love with the Rabbit. The actions be
come ’’faster and furiouser” and Alice is
finally put upon the witness stand. She
becomes impatient and declares, “I am
not afraid of you! You are nothing but
a pack of cards!” Confusion reigns, a
deck of cards falls upon the stage, the
ipieen can be heard screaming, the Jab
berwock and the Xnark arrive upon the
scene and increase the turmoil and as
the stage darkens the following chorus
is heard:
Then fill up tin' glasses with treacle and
ink,
Or anything else that is pleasant to
drink.
Mix sand with the cider, and wool with
the wine,
And welcome Queen Alice with ninety
times nine.
Cast Will Be Largest
The cast will be the largest of any
play given this year. F.yla Walker plays
the Queen of Hearts. Martha Beer takes
the part of Alice; Mary, the sister of
Alice, ‘who is very, very old, you know,’
is played by Agnes Dunlap. Jane Camp
bell is Little Alice, and Charlie Fenton
is Rig Alice. Esther Hurd has the part
of the White Rabbit and Marian Tuttle
plays the Cheshire Cat.
The evening performances will start
at 8:15, and the matinee at 2:15. Ad
mission will be 25 cents with the excep
tion of Saturday afternoon when a
charge of 75 cents will be made for
adults.
