CASE IS LIGHT ONE;
! DOCTOR OPTIMISTIC
Every Precaution Is Bein,'j
Takpn to Prevent Spread
of Disease.
Miss M,arian Chapin, a freshman girl
of Portland, is quarantined on the third
floor bf the Delta Delta sorority house
\ with a case of measles. The faculty,
assisted i'jy city health officer W. L.
Cheshire, i is taking every precaution to
:
!
i
\
prevent the spread of the disease. Dr.
C. W. Sduthworth, attending physician,
states that Miss Chapin’s case is an
unusually light one and that her recovery
■will in all [probability be rapid.
The danger of an epidemic was seri
ously considered but a canvas of the
fraternities and sororities taken, this
i
morning at the request of President
Campbell disclosed the fact that in the
majority bf cases, the members had at
some time1 or other had the measles. It
was because of this that more drastic
steps were not immediately taken to
ward the discontinuing of classes. The
fr^chmau 'acquaijd. party scheduled
for Saturday night has been indefinite
ly postponed and other social affairs will
probkhl.v ’t called off according to the
preside* A’s secretary
Dr. Cheshire, city b ..1th officer holds
out an dptimistic word to those who
might be f|ilarmed. He also states that
this is the( least dangerous time of the
year to haye the measles.
Because of the fact that at least a
week and possibly ten days must elapse
]
after exposure before a person shows
the symptoms of measues, no new cases
are expected to develop for several days.
If new cases do develop, indicating a
spread of the disease it is declared that
school will] be closed immediately.

FRIENDS PAY TRIBUTE
The president of the University, dean
of the college of liberal arts and dean
of the school of journalism, accompani
ed by several members of his college
fraternity, left yesterday for Salem to
attend the funeral of Leland A. Hend
ricks, alumnus of the institution who
was drowned at that place Friday. The
college, at least those who knew "Lee,”
went with them in spirit, and their
concern was a last tribute of the Uni
versity he served to her brilliant son.
Those who made the trip were: Presi
dent P. L. Campbell. I>ean| John Straub,
Dean E. W. Allen. Wallace Eakin. Earl
Bronangh, Neal Kendall. .Tack Elliot,
Glen Shockley, Lyle Bartholomew, Ken

Hugo L. Bezdefc Becomes New Head
of Physical Training Department
Change of Policy Rules That All New Students Must in the Fu
ture Undergo Minute Examination for Physical Defects
Which Will Be Remedied as Far as Possible.
A change in the physical training de
partment for men that has been known
for some time was officially announced
by President Campbell this week. Hugo
L. Bezdek becomes the new head of the
department.
The change, as President Campbell
announced, was the result of a change 6f
policy of the University in the depart
ment whereby all men students will
undergo minute physical attention to
remedy all defects and prepare them in'a
better way for their mental work in this
University.
To secure a person to fit with this
new change of policy it was necessary
to secure a person with a doctor of
medicine degree. The fact that Mr.
Bezdek is completing his work for such
a degree qualified him for the position,
and resulted in his election by the board
of regents at the meeting held last June.
Mr. Bezdek, more familiarly known as
“Coach” succeeds “Coach Bill” Hay
ward. However “Bill” will be intimately
associated with Coach "Bez” and the two
will work out the gradual changes to be
made in the department.
The corrective system in the men's
physical training department is to be
followed out to a greater extent this
year than in previous years according
to Bill Hayward. Measurements are to
be taken of the freshman who turns out
for athletics a chart made and his
physical development noted during his
college career. A system of this kind
has been followed out to a certain ex
tent in other years, but it is the inten
tion of the directors of the physical
training department to follow it out to
the letter this year. When a man is
measured his physical deficiencies are
noted and corrective exercises given to
correct these defects.
When asked about the outlook for
a track team this year Bill Hayward
smiled in a sly way. ,
“It looks like it is going to be a great
year,” he said, “But I’ll have to get some
good men to fill the places left vaaent
by Chet Fee, Kent Wilson, Bert Pea
cock and Ray Staub. I'll have to der
pend on Bill Blackaby and George Gates
to fill Fee’s shoes at the polevault
and some more good men for his other
events, and while I know I won t find
one man who can take his place in all
the events I feel sure that I can find
three or four who can do it."
The varsity men, all those who are
elegible to enter conference meets, are
to meet at 4 o’clock on Monday in the
gymnasium.
The freshmen are to meet at four
COACH “BEZ” AND HIS SMILE.
r .. . >n i i
Coach Hugo Bezdek.
I o’clock on Tuesday at which tie the
j possibilities for meets with some of the
| smaller colleges and with the O. A. C.
Rooks will be discussed. “I intend to
pull off some group meets, interclass
meets and novice meets sometimes about
the middle of October if the weather
perits,” says Bill.
There are some good men entering the
University this year, Mulkey from Mon
mouth a broad jumper, Hudson from
North Bend a sprinter and broad jump
er. Then there is Bo.vlen, Tom Boylon’s
! brother who has had some experience
on the track, Minnis from Pendleton,
Foster from John Day and a number of
other men who 1 havn’t got a line on
as yet.
California Critics Anticipate Bad Defeat
That the thinking University of Cali
fornia student rather envies the Uni
versity of Oregon; and that California!
critics expect Bezdek’s men to defeat
them in football this year, is the report
that Colin V. Dyment, instructor in the
department of journalism, brings from
Berkeley, where he and Ueon M. I' lint,
acting head of the school of journalism at
the University of Kansas, conducted
two courses in newspaper work during,
the summer school.
They envy Oregon for three things,
says Mr. Dyment. First, they feel that1
they can't quite duplicate that Oregon
spirit, about which they have heard so
much. Secondly, there is not that per
sonal contact between faculty members
and students. Deans, professors, doc
tors, and instructors seem to stand more
away and apart from the mass of stud
ents. And thirdly, they envy the inde-i
pendenee of the student newspaper at1
Oregon. The “Daily Californian,” as if
under a censorship, does not get all the
news.
And folks around Berkeley do have
a great deal of respect for northwest
football. They are anxiously waiting
the coming of the Oregon team and are
wondering what showing they will be able
to make.
“Do I like the University of Cali
fornia? Well it's a mighty big place,”|
say s Mr. Dyment. "There were .'1074
attending the summer session, and the
faculty numbered 241. As at Oregon,
the attendants at summer school are in
deadly earnest about their work. On the,
whole, they do work and study harder
than is done here. In the regular ses
sion I know they work harder.”
Some 70 were enrolled in a course in
newswriting, about half of whom were
high school teachers. Others were pros
pective members of the “Daily Cali
fornian” staff. There is no department
of journalism in the regular California
session. The large attendance of teach
ers is explained by the strict state edu
cational requirements to teachers.
Mr. Flint and Mr. Dyinent also had
charge of the “Summer Session Cali
fornian,” the newspaper of the six weeks
session. Classes, paper work, and con
ferences kept both very busy, Mr. Dy
Mr. Dyinent fays that although the
merit declares.
Mr. Dyinent says that although the
registration of resident students at lierk
eley is seven times that at Eugene, the
circulation of the "Daily Californian”
is only twice that of the "Emerald.”
DR. H. C. MASON TO SPEAK
First Assembly at 10 o'clock Tomorrow
in Villard Hall.
The first assembly o' the year will he
held in Villard hall tomorrow morning
at 10 o’clock when Dr. 11. C. Mason of
the First Congregational church of Seat
tle will speak upon the “Gentle Art of
Misery.”
Pastor Mason has the reputation of
being a live speaker and has a constant
chain of speaking engagements to fill.
Dates for several advance assemblies
have been made by Mr. K. \V. Onthunk,
secretary to President 1*. E. Campbell.
Aside from the regular assembly head
liners there will he several speakers en
gaged for evening talks throughout the
winter.
HE HAILS FROM ILLICOS SUR
* * # *
HIS HOME TOWN IS LOPOG
# # # *
HE IS MOW AN OREGONITE
Eulogio A- Gorospc is his name and lie
comes from Lopog, Illicos Sur. But don’t \
lie frightened, reader. Illicos Sur is
merely the-name of one of the Philip
pine Island!, and Lopog that of a town
on the mentioned island.
Mr. Gorojspe is a native of the Philip
pines who has just come to the Univer
sity of Oregon to learn all be can about
architecture1. After he has assimilated
all that MrJ Lawrence and his staff can
teach him lie intends to go back to the
Philippines ,and there become an archi
tect.
Mr. Goroape likes Oregon- he says so
himself. He says he likes the campus,
the way the fellows treat him, his pro
fessors, in i fact, everything about the
University, [even the girls. There is
only one thing which does not seem to
please him and that is the size and
color of the emerald lined headgear
which the boys informed him he must
wear.
It seems Hint Mr. Gorospc met an old
Oregon graduate at the late San Fran
cisco exposition a few months ago and
was persuaded by him that the University
of Oregon is the best in the world. Re
sult Mr. Gorospc is now with us.
Bert Breeding Only Varsity Man
| to Return.
Coach Shockley Promises Sev
eral Trips for Team for
This Year.
With Captain “Iindy” Rutherford not
back as yeti; “Stub” Prestie registered
in the t'niveysity of California; I>al King
and Gordon Clark not coining back; and
with “lieebe” Breeding, the only ’varsity
wrestler retl.irued, the prospects for this
year’s wrestling team would not seem
very promising.
Still, there are some promising fresh
men out last| year, Harold Grey, Charles
Dundore, both 1 .'55 pound men, Joe
Skelton, 158; "Has” Williams, 175;
Henry Procter; “Shorty” Phillips, ISO,
though he probably will not wrestle at
this weight in conference meets. All of
these men bid well to make this 'varsity
j this year, and to make it a strong ag
gregation, when coach “Kd” Shockley
gets through' pounding them into shape.
The team will go to O. A. G., and
probably Washington or W. S. C. this
year, one of the two later meeting Ore
gon on the ‘campus. If it can be ar
ranged. Oregon will meet either Cali
fornia or Stanford.
Because of the promise of these trips
Coach Shockley expects a big bunch of
husky freshman wrestlers out this year.
SCHOOL OF MUSIC GROWS
Fluto Instruction and Instrumental oy
Mr. Badollat and Mr. T. H. Annette.
The University school of music is
opening on one of its's most prosperous
years, according to J>r. Landsbury, wlio
states that more students have enrolled
in this department than in any previous
year; not only in the theory classes but
also as musical pupils.
Mr. Badollet, who was granted a years
leave of absence last year, has returned
and started his classes in flute instruc
tion. Mr. Badollet is col|£eded to he
one of the thfee greatest flute players in
the I nited States. Most of his time
previous to bis coming to the University
i had Ween speent in concert work,
orchestra, et|e.
Mr. T. IT." Annette has been secured
as instructor in instrumental to take the
i place of Miss ‘Malkins, who has been given
j a year’s leave of absence by the Univer
I siay. Mr. Annette comes to t he Uni
I versify from the Northwestern Univer
| slty. Mr. Annette comes to the TJni
| mendations. He has spent several years
; doing concert and chautauqua work.
The conservatory has been greatly
changed this past summer; new practice
rooms have been arranged for, and an
office for Miss Davis, the secretary. If
the* growth olf this department increases
as rapidly another year, many more
| changes will tiuve to be made next sum
mer.
TRIINING STARTED
IK BEIL EARNEST
Bezdek’s Crew Now Getting
Stiff Pre-Season Workouts;
Bucking Machine Appears
FINE WEATHER DELAYS
NIGHTLY SCRIMMAGES
Hopes Are That Old Back-Field
Star Parsons Will Return
to College.
Jimmy Sheehy
lingo llezdek is out-dobieing dobie in
strenuousity of preseason football train
ing.
Be* is a staunch advocate of prepared
ness. lie believes in it, insists on it,
and he both practices and preaches his
doctrine.
Oregon teams in the past have been
keyed to the minute. This year’s varsity
promises to be no exception to those of
former years.
As the days progress Bezdek adds new
rations in increased quantities to his al
ready carefully prepared menu. Light
signal drill, in addition to sprinting prac
tice hogged the lion’s share of atten
tion during the early part of last week.
Then the bucking machine made its ap
pearance, the infernal engine that line
men have learned to love. With Be*
seated on the crossbar,- occupying the
role of “syrallisis,” Tegnrt, Bartlett,
Spellman, Rlsley Snider, Beckett, and
Mitchell furnished the necessary power
to engineer the rickshaw over Kincaid’s
surface. Last night's “piece de resist
ance” amounted to a turn around at tho
tackling dummy.
There is itii i.ut'anny sechecy as to Vttw
Coach’s nightly one hour SjCsslons staked
behind the grandstand. Stygian darkness
enshrouds the “Sanctum sanctorum" in
which no mortal is allowed, save those
garbed in gridiron togs. Suffice it to say
that Coach Be/.dck, chalk in hand, is
teaching and the varsity is learning tho
finer points of the game.
Old dame rumor is again on her annual
rampage. This time the old girl has it
that Johnny Parsons, captain and half
back of the 1914 eleven, is on the verge
of returning to school to complete his
college course. Nothing would pleace
Bezdek or the Oregon fans more than
the arrival of the popular Johnny. Al
ways a star under the former quarter
back system, speculation lias run riot
among the railhens what he would do be
hind the four and five man interfer
ence combination. It is safe to say that
Parsons in a lemmon-yellow suit would
mean a 10 point rise in Oregon’s foot
ball stock.
With tlie continuance of the "back to
the swimm’in hole” weather little real
football can he indulged in. As soon as
the heavens soften the sodded turf, the
head guards and shoulder pads will usher
in the nightly scrimmage melees with the
freshmen. Then it is that Bill Hayward
and chief masseur, Glen Macy, will he
bruised driving “pest”—“Charles W.
Horse” from the boy’s muscles, and the.
two Bills—Snyder and Tuerck, will bid
a “Patti” far well to “La Marquise” and
"Miss Fatima.”
