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

of regents and Mrs. Gerlinger is the first
to send in an order for more.

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

get those uniforms on,” he declared.
Mr. Perfect is planning a concert for
the afternoon of November 3. Weather

sists of W. P. Boynton, professor of
physics, chairman, Dr. James II. Gil

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

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.

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

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
