Southern School Has Wealth of Material But Cannot Play Game. PARSONS IS FORMALLY PROTESTED BY DOBIE Bezdek Starts Polishing Pro cess in Anticipation of Washington. Welcomed home by a monster demon stration that rivalled any in the history of the University, the conquerors of California jumped off the Shasta yes terday morning looking none the worse Rafter their strenuous game Saturday. Montieth was the only man who show ed any marks of the conflict with an injured ege due to the pugnacious ability of leftend Cohen who, incidently, was removed from the game for his action. The overwhelming defeat adminis tered to the blue and gold was a big surprise. California wag doped to have a powerful eleven capable of giving Ore gon a hard fight, if not actually win ning. From the reports brought back by members of th i team, the south erners have a wealth of material but simply cannot play the American game as yet. In a couple of years they should develop a crackerjack team. As for the game, Oregon did not have to extend herself to win. The boys were a little late in getting started and Cali fornia scored, in five downs after secur ing the ball on a fumble. This inject ed the old tight into the varsity and they plowed up and down the field for six scores. California s last touchdown was a flulie. With the ball in their possession the Bear state men essayed a forward [pass and referee Dolan ruled that Par [sons interferred with the receiver. A 25 yard panalty put the pigskin on the one yard line and on the next play Brooks went through for a touchdown. A perusal of the work of the team reveals the fact that the varsity’s defense was not up to standard. In 76 attempts to advance the ball Cali fornia made 590 yards while Oregon made 869 in 87 tries. California made 101 yards in line plays, Oregon 245. California gained eight yards on an average per play while Oregon gained ten. Beckett outpunted Sharpe and Brooks by a wide margin, a number of the lat ters’ kicks going out of bounds. The much heralded forward-passing of the Berkeley men did not trouble the varsity greatly, although a few short passes succeeded. The Califoruians tackled high, a feature of rugby, which was re sponsible for many of Oregon’s large gains. Oregon was not without a rooting delegation. Students from here and ex Oregonians now living in California had a section reserved and were led in yelling by Ernie Vosper, former Ore gon yell king. Bez started right in yesterday after noon to smooth out the rought places in preparation for the Washington game. Most of the time will be spent in improving the defense which showed up poorly down south. Washington has entered a protest against Johnny Parsons as they main tain that according to a rule passed last year a player must play three years of football within five years after matriculation. This rule is not retroac tive, however, so the protest is ground less. California also protested him and the matter was settled definitely then. If the dispatches from the north are to be believed, Dobie has another championship team to uphold his long string of victories. Nevertheless, with two weeks preparation and an even break in the luck, Oregon should at least give the northerners a tough bat tle. . STATIONERY SENT. Five hundred University ofc Oregon letter heads and envelopes were mail ed to Mrs. George Gerlinger, regent of the University, Thursday night for use in the correspondence work for the ben efit of the Women’s building. When the new press was installed in the jour nalism laboratory last year stationery was made foi each member of the board of regents and Mrs. Gerlinger is the first to send in an order for more.

PLAN BOOK PLATE CONTEST Following Words to Appear: “Library of the U. of 0. Law School. The architectural student who de signs the best book plate for the law books in the Education building will receive a prize of $7.50, while the de signer of the second best will be given $2.50. The prizes are offered by the library and Louis C. Rosenberg, instruc tor iA architectural design, is in charge of the contest. The competition is open to all stu dents of architecture. All designs must be in by 5 p. m. November 0. The conditions are as follows: The design should have some seal or device which would make it applicable to law books and at the same time should identify it with the University of Oregon. The fol lowing words should appear: “Library of the University of Oregon Law School.” More definite information can be obtained from Mr. Rosenberg’s “pro grams” which contain all the conditions of the contest. It is possible that a similar contest will be held later to improve upon the present bookplate of the library, which appears on the inside of the cover of each book and serves as an identification mark, according to librarian Douglass. The present one has no seal. Those competeing in this contest can obtain some help from the collection of bookplates, which may be obtained at the desk in the library. BAND TO HAVE UNIFORMS Wil! Give Concert Afternoon November 3, Also Just Before Game. Uniforms for the university band have been ordered and will be here for use sometime before November 4. These uniforms are dark blue with black braid trimmings and have “U. of O.” in gold letters on the collar. “I expect these uniforms to do a lot for us, not only in adding to our appearance but in the way in which we will piny,” says director Albert B. Perfect. Ac cording to Mr. Perfect, a band with new uniforms is like a newly appointed po liceman. They have .he dignity of the world to uphold. “We will play 50 per cent better than ever before when we get those uniforms on,” he declared. Mr. Perfect is planning a concert for the afternoon of November 3. Weather permitting, this concert will be held out of doors. On Homecoming day the band will give a concert just before the game.

Basketball will hold a more promin ent place among the girls’ activities this winter for with the outdoor gym mar gin the space for practice has been doub led and there will be three times as many periods devoted to practice this year as last. The prospect for a senior team this year is much better than last, accord ing to Miss Mabel Cummings, head of {the department. 110 IRE EXPECTED Large Number Anticipated at Homecoming Day Spread.

Fred Kiddle, chairman of the pro gram committee, says that judging by indications received from alumni all over the state, there will be a much larger attendance than was first expected.

Boynton, professor of physics, chairman, Dr. James II. Gil bert, professor of economics, Frederic S. Dunn, professor of Latin language, and President P. L. Campbell, ex-of ficio member. At the preliminary special meet.og tf the fa-ulty. Fr< tident Campbell asked that the work in ethics be made com pulsory for freshmen. The vote taken showed a majority but was not unani mous. According to the University rulings, no change in corriculum can be passed without one months notice or the unanimous vote of the faculty, so the final vote will be taken at the next faculty meeting. ‘The objecr of the committee is to arrange for the teaching of ethics if it is feasible,” said Dr. Boynton. ‘‘The committee will look into the matter and determine how many freshmen art en rolled in the .-inisc and with hov la. se a number it makes the seventeenth hour in the course carried. Also just what ground the course covers and thi help it will be to the f'tshmen.” The ethices com so for men has been taught by President Campbell that for women by Miss Elizabeth Fox. OREGON HAS HER POETS Many Students Contribute Their Work for Publication of Western Verse. A number of poems were sent to a Boston publishing “house a short time ago by Dr. E. S. Bates, head of the department of retoric, for the purpose | of contributing towatRl the publication I ()f an antnology of westewi verse. The I easterner who is planning the cotlec ; tion had only begun to get the mater j ial together therefore no report has , been received as to whether on not the j “Oregon” poems were accepted. The students whose work was contri buted were; Lillian Porter, Grace j Edgington, Leslie Blades, and Chester ' Fe«. VICTORIOUS TEAM WELCOMED HOME Monstrous Crowd Meets Train and Escorts Heroes to the Campus. Short Rally in Front of Johnson Hall Puts on Finishing Touches. A thousand students and townspeo ple jammed and elbowed their way about the Southern Pacific depot yesterday morning to welcome the conquering heroes upon their return from the south. The band kept up an almost continuous accompaniment for the changing nuib. A great human snnke would start from somewhere in the midst of the mass and by sheer force twine its way about a while, only to become part of a longer line. It seemed that confusion had reached its highest possible degree, but the early manifestations of joy were more than surpassed when the Shasta limited appeared. The rooters had assembled at the university library, formed in a four columns and marched to the de pot. The enthusiasm fostered by Dolph, Rathbun and Scaiefe, had been gradu ally increasing and with the arrival of the train carrying the team it reached new heights. Freshmen and upper-classmen mingled in an effort to be the first to reach the members of the squad, each of whom was carried on the shoulders of the boys and boosted into the bunting-cov ered tally-ho. The appearance of Bez dek drove the men and women into a frenzy and in response to the coach's own cheers the mob raised voice in deafening roars of delight. The band found its way to a place in front of the tally-ho, the freshmen took up the rope and the procession began to move. The tally-ho had to carry almost twice as many as its builder had planned on. This with the skidding of the wheels on the car track had an immediate effect upon the axle, the conch settled down to the tires, Bill prepared to jump on a moment’s notice, but it stood the test. Direct to the steps of the Adminis tration building the marches proceeded. The rooters massed together on the lawn, the heroes were seated on the steps of Johnson hall, and Oskies set the echoes ringing. “It wns simply the Oregon spirit that won,” said Bezdek the first speak er. “The game was here and there too. Say, haven’t we a great state?" “The best boys from the best little school in the United States won,” said Bill. President Campbell set the students yelling again by a series of questions ending by asking "Are we going to beat Washington?” The answer was positive enough to set everyone’s mind at ease. Every member of the squad gave short talks varying in length from “We have a great state” to Montieth’s, “I'm too happy to talk.” Because the train was over 20 min utes late the rally ran a little over the prescribed time but classes were re sumed by a few minutes after 11 o’clock.

Raffles at the various houses helped swell the ranks of the rooters, some of whom left in automobiles, while the great Northern steamships and the trains claimed their quota of passengers. Alpha Tau Omega leads the frater nities with seven representatives: Eu gene Good, Harry Hargraves, William Olaekaby, Earnest Nail, Nellis llimlin. Lew Fodder and James Howell are the A. T. O. boys at the big game. Phi Gam ma Delta has five men at the front in the persons of Keith Kiggins, William Allen, Harold Cake, How'ard Howies and James Shee.liy.

COMMEND RUSHING RULES Local Pan-Hellenic Expresses Itself as Pleased With Fall Results. That the rushing rules employed by the fraternities last fall were fairly satisfae.ory, was the sentiment, of the local Pan-Hellenic which assembled at Villard hall last Tuesday afternoon. The local alumnae gave several recom mendations for changes in the rushing rules which are now being considered by the various chapters. These r scorn | mendatior s were read by Mrs. Eric Al i len. Miss Elizabeth Fox, dean of wo I men, also gave a short talk in which j she recommended having a Pnn-IIellenic auditing committee. WILL ASK CLASS HOURS Student Council Committee Will Pre pare Potition to Present to Faculty. A petition requesting the reinstate ment of elnss hours will be rend at the meeting of the student council on Wed nesday. This reading will be for the purpose of securing -lie approval of the council before presenting the petition to the faculty. The petition was drawn up by Leura Jerard, Martha Beer and Carl Becke, who were appointed at a committee by the student council. “Our work has been preliminary,” said Miss Jerard. “We expect the council to express its ideas, and add them to the paper. We have tried to bring out the idea that class hours will create a greater demo cracy in the University, and arouse a greater interest in class activities. It is the hope of the council that if the hours are reinstated, the time will be spent in presenting worth-while pro grams, and not those of a frivolous na ture. In this wny the hours would be of real benefit to the students.” GIRLS WILL SELL FLOWERS Y. W. to Finance Peanut Sellers and Chrysanthemum Venders at Game. Plan to buy chrysanthemums for the Oregon-Washington game from the girls of the Y. W. ('. A. They will be around to get orders. It was also decided at a cabinet meeting on Monday that the freshmen and sophomore members would sell peanuts, popcorn and candy at the game. ® . . The members of the cabinet of the University Y. W. C. A. are to act as advisors of corresponding members of the high school organisation, and will be in a measure responsible for the work of that branch. The members of the University asso ciation are to be regular visitors of the meetings held weekly by the high school girls. The weekly meeting Wednesday was devoted to the freshmen girls and tea was served after the regular business meeting bad adjourned. ill ALL-UNIVERSITY ELECTION BED Emerald Will Conduct Election Friday on National and State Questions. DEAN ALLEN SECURES 1000 DUPLICATE BALLOTS All Students, Members df the Faculty and Campus Em ployees Included. An all-university election to deter mine student sentiment concerning ques tions to be voted on nt the regular state and national elections next month and to acquaint the student-body with the in tvicneies of balloting procedure will be conducted by the Emerald on the Uni versity campus Friday of this week. The voting will be in direct charge of Denu E. W. Allen of the journalism depart ment and his advanced clasB. The ballot will be extended to every body connected with the University, directly. All students, men and women, specials and regulars alike will be eli gible to vote. In order to make the election cover the University generally, all members of the faculty and campus employees will be expected to vote. The employees will include janitors, engi neers, and gardiuers. The presidential race is expected to form a nucleus for interest in the elec tion. Already, political bodies recently organized among the students are con gregating their forces. No landslide is expected either way in the presidential vote. The two principal nominees will run close, it is thought, judging from re cent straw votes taken at the fraterni ties, sororities, and dormitories. The election Friday will correspond to the all-university vote taken four years ago and conducted by the Emerald. It will be conducted on a much larger scare, however. Each student will be expected to vote on all questions on the ballot. Professor Allen haB secured 1,000 ballots, which are exact dupli cates of regular national and state elec tion blanks. Regular legal election regulations will be observed. Each precinct will be presided over by a chairman and hia five assistants, making three judges and three clerks in all. The election boards will be managed alternately in order to enable students serving to attend some classes. Poll books and other literature per taining to election procedure have been secured by Mr. Allen and those students serving on the election boards will be obliged to .read up, thus gaining extra benefit. Chairman of the precincts will endeavor to borrow regulation ballot boxes from the county. In order that absolute fairness may reign in every purt of the election, nomination of all officers, except four chairman of the precincts will be in the hands of the republican and demo cratic clubs of the students. These or ganizations will noimnate members for the boards from each class alternately. Karl Onthank, who wav editor of ths Emerald in 1912 when the last student bod.v election was held, speaks favorably of the idea. “A great deal of actual profit can be gained from such an elec tion,” said Mr. Onthank yesterday, “be cause students become interested in bal loting. Few students in college know much about casting a ballot properly and it is for this purpose ns well as to get a line on the sentiment of the Univer sity that the all-university election has received much favor.” Dean Allen is very enthusiastic over the proposition. It was principally through his initiative that the practice was first started." 'lie believes the eelc tion will be beneficial to the students in more wuye than one. Principally, he says, through development of a sense of responsibility and interest in the affairs of the country. Seniors, members of the faculty, and campus employees will vote at precinct number 1. Harold Ilamstreet will engi neer this devision and officiate as chair man of .he election board of the pre cinct. Bernice Lucas will have charge of the second precinct where juniors will exer cise their right of franchise. Sopho mores will vote at precinct number three over which George Colton will (Continued on page four)
