DOBIE EMITS THE
OIL BEAR STOUT
Whines and Predicts Defeat at
Hands of Lemon-Yellow
November 4.
DOPE SHOWS PURPLE
GOLD TO BE STRONG
Probable Lineup of Northern
ers Will Include But Two
Veterans.
Clifford Sevits
Dobie will bring more than eleven
tackling dummies for Oregon to prac
tice on, in spite of his statement to the
5 contrary. If Oregon wins the batt.e
' November 4, she will have to fight for
every single leaf in the wreath.
In a recent interview, in answer to
the question, “what’s the chance for a
winning team this year?” Dobie made
the following characteristic statement:
“There isn’t going to be any team this
year. No, not any team. Just eleven
tackling dummies for Oregon and Cali
fornia to practice on, that’s all.”
“I know that must sound familiar and
funny,” he admitted, “but the fact re
mains that with the exception of a
single linesman—a guard—I havn’t a
star to build a team upon or around.
There are several reasons why this year
will be disastrous for Washington. The
above is one of them. Again the fresh
man rule hurts us more than you can
possibly imagine. Still again I person
ally haven’s the ambition or the pep I
used to have» My psychological punch,
so to speak, is gone, either that or the
players of today areu’r like the players
of yesterday; the youthful brains of the
present aren’t like the youthful brains
of the past. Boneheads? Blockheads?
No, neither blockheads nor boneheads—
just non-absorbers.”
Two veterans, the only men left in
Dobie’s machine who played against
Oregon in 1914, the last time lemon-yel
low and purple-gold met, will make up
part of Washington’s formidable array.
They are captain and right guard, Louis
Seagraves, and right half, Cyrus Noble.
Old Men Will Meet.
Five of Bezdek’s men remember that
game; their 10 to 7 defeat, and the grim
determination to even things up at a
future date. Johnny Parsons, whom
Washington is contesting, was captain in
I that year and behind him were Johnny
Beckett, Shy Huntington, Jake Risley,
and Bill Snyder.
Although it is true that Dobie has lost
most of his old letter men and the major
portion of his old standbys, he still has
material and plenty of it, and nobody is
going to kid himself into thinking that
the Washingtonians are down and out.
Pessimism, blue smoke, and woeful
lamentations eminate regularly from
training camps at this season of the
year. They are expected by discerning
dopesters, and are weighed in the
balances.
It has been impossible thus far this
season to gain any tangible dope on
Dobie’s aggregation. He has matched
them only twice since training began,
and in both instances, the experience
was little more strenuous than regular
routine work at home. A late press
dispatch says that Pobie’s men are in the
best physical shape, and what injuries
have shown up are of a minor nature.
His probable lineup against Oregon next
Saturday will be:
Ted Faulk, left end. rj j
William Grimm, left tackle. j
Morrison, Vic, left guard.
Lawrence Smith, center.
Louis Seagraves, (capt), right guard.
Ernest Murphy, right tackle.
George Smith, right end.

CUMMINGS GUARDS SECRETS
# # « #
SMILES BUT SAYS NOTHING
* * * «
STATISTICS HERS ALONE
The physical examination statistics of
women are being guarded this year with
all the jealously and fight of a iloness
o’er her cubs. Miss Mable Louise Cum
mings sits immoble in her den at the
women’s gymnasium. To the seeker
after peculiarities or imperfections of the
female contingent, recently examined, she
registers an enigmatic smile but vouch
safes no enlightment. The secret of ab
normal and diseased hearts, of lung
capacity of distorted phenomena is hers
—and hers it shall remain.
Last year the toll of crooked spines
and poundage colored the dope sheet..
If last year, why not this? Here’s the
climax. The morning after the expose of
twelve months ago. Miss Cummings
found two cartoons, grotesque and
elborate on her desk. Their origin was
never known.
After all Dr. Cummings is but a wo
man!
DEBATE TRYOUT NOV. 18,
Question Is Decided Upon and Stage Is
Already Set.
The question to be debated at the
try-outs on November IS, has been de
cided. It reads as follows: Resolved
that the United States shall adopt the
essential features of the Canadian com
pulsory arbitration lav. This question
may also be the one used in the Coast
League if Stanford reports favorably on
it. In the preliminary try-out each con
testant will be given five minutes for
his first speech nnd three for rebuttal.
All desiring to try-out must report to
Coach Prescott before the thit** of No
vember. The library staff have signi
fied their willingness to co-operate with
the debaters in working up a bibliography
on compulsory arbitration and all phases
of the question. There are five places
to be filled on the earn, so an unusual
amount o' interest in expected.
LAW FRESHMEN ELEC1
First Class to Organize Since Law
School Moved to Campus.
The freshman class of the law school
held its first meeting and elected offic
ers Thursday morning in Friendly hall.
This is the first class organized since
the law school was moved from Portland
in the actual grow-th of the school.
G. H. Wilcox, formerly a student at
Pacific University, was chosen to head
the law freshmen. The contests for all
to the campus and marks the first step
of the offices were keen excepting that
of librarian. Others who hold official
places in the class are: Creston Had
dock, vice-president; William H. Gerret
sen, Jr., secretary; II. G. Fleischmann,
treasurer; Lionel Roscoe Hurd, sergeant
at arms; C. R. McKee, court reporter;
H. J. Wells, librarian.
The class plans on having occasional
smokers and meetings to discuss law
topics. It is expected that the law school
will move to its new quarters in the
education building about a week from
Monday. In its new home the school
will occupy almost the entire third floor
and will have a convenient arrangement
of its law books eaaily accessible from
the class room.
“TEAR ’EM UP OREGON”
Is Slogan on Watch Fobs Appearing on
Campus This Week.
‘‘Tear'em up Oregon” is the slogan on
the hand painted watch fobs that have
made their appearance on the campus
this week.
Several hundred of the souvenirs have
been placed on sale at local stores and
the mail orders already received would
indicate that many of the homecoming
folk will pe wearing the slogan.
GOLF CUTS ARE TO COUNT
Prescott to Catch Students Who Dodge
His Fresh Air Classes.
Those students who signed up to
take their gymnasium work on the golf
course should report to Professor Bert
Prescott at either one o’clock Tuesday
or at four o’clock on Thursday to make
arrangements for the class.

24 STUDENTS BATCHING
# * # *
SAY THEY LIKE THE LIFE
* # # ♦
TO CO-OPERATE IN BUYING
With 24 students in the University of
Oregon successfully batching this year,
it is evident, according to Curtis Beach,
temporary president of the Bachelors’
club, that good health and ambition arc
all that is necessary to got a college
education.
The members of the dub met for the
second time in President P. L. Camp
bell’s office last Tuesday evening, tmd
chose ns temporary officers, Curtis
Beach, president and Boy Johnson, a
post-graduate, secretary-. The club in
tends to further the interests of its mem
bers by co-operative buying, and will
gather information on hatching.
When members of the faculty deliver
extension lectures throughout the state
they will take this information, which
will be put in definite form, and give
it to high school students.
If students know about the batching
conditions here, Prof. J. F. Bovard said,
it will undoubtedly attract more students,
lie said that vacant houses near the
campus suffice for the present.
Dean E. II. Lawrence, of the school
of architecture, has plans drawn for
bungalows, which are modern in every
detail. But the committee chairman,
Prof. Bovard, says that the investiga
tion of the committee show's no need
of bungalows at presen’.
The club meets again November S. All
bachelors, both men and women are in
vited to the meeting. I
MODEL LIBRARY PLANNED
Interest in Reading Created Among
Junior High Students.
It is the plan of Mr. M. II. Douglass,
librarian of the University of Oregon,
and some of the professors connected
with the Junior high school in the Edu
cational building to have a model lib
rary in connection with the high school.
As yet no room has been equipped which
will serve only ns a library but that will
come in time. At present the hooks nre
held in a case in one of the recitation
rooms of the Educational building under
the control of Professor Albert N.
French of the junior high school.
At present two shipments of hooks
have been received containing altogether
252 hooks. These books have all been
selected from the official list of hooka
made out by the state department of
education for use in standardized high
schools. In this way the books will be
of use to students interested in the edu
cation department as well as the stu
dents in the junior high school. Dr.
II. D. Sheldon hopes to add several oth
er books for those ir his department
also.
360 PREPARE TO TEACH
Greatest Demand and Highest Paid Posi
tions Are for Commercial Tea:hers.
II. D. Sheldon, dean of the school
of education, has made an estimate of
the number of students preparing to
teach and finds that from the 240 there
are 77 sophomores, 89 juniors, 71 sen
iors and 3 graduates. Granting that the
same proportion of the present freshman
class will do likewise the University will
turn out 300 of its 920 students pre
pared to teach. The percentage of men
is greater proportionally thuL. a few
years ago, there being now 07.
The majority arc specializing in Eng
lish in addition with German and his
tory. “As a result,” says Mr. Sheldon,
“these fields are over crowded. It would
be better If some of these students would
take in connection with any of these, an
other foreign language and science or for
the women, a certain amount of art and
music in connection with history and
English as it would enable them to hold
higher positions in the smaller cities.
The greatest demand and highest paid
! positions are for commercial teachers
with a knowledge of shorthand and type
writing. There are also places open
to art teachers, men’s athletic coaches,
und a few geology, physics and chemistry
specialists, Latin, mathematics, and
biology teachers meet the demand made
for them; while those students major
ing in dramatics and public speaking
will find no positions open in those
fields alone.”
Total of 575 Votes Cast in Em
erald All-University Bal
lot Yesterday.
LACK OF KNOWLEDGE
OF ISSUES IS SHOWN
Bill Repealing Sunday Closing
Law Carries by Margin
of Seven.
Out of a total cast of 575 ballots yes
terday in the Emerald all-Univeralty
election, Wilson lead over Hughes by
20 votes. Campus opinion before the
election had Wilson certain of a much
greater I'.urnlity than this. Benson,
socialist candidate for president, receiv
ed ten votes and Hanly, nominee on the
prohibition ticket, polled one.
The mock ballot was replete with in
terest from beginning to finish. The
polling places at Villard, Johnson, Deady,
and McClure began to show signs of life
as soon as the polls opened. Voting
proceeded rapidly in regular legal fashion
from 8 a. m. to 2 p. m. in the afternoon.
Counting wan finished at 5:30 p. m.
Many Did Not Voto.
The expression was far from repre
sentative of the whole student-body.
Nearly half of the enrolled students did
not vote. Twelve campus laborers and
twice as many faculty members took
advantage of the privilege.
An explanation for the difference of
opinion i.i the prec act vote on the is
sues may be found in the fact that a
substantial percentage of the voting at
the senior division was done by members
of the faculty. An example is in the
negro and mulatto suffrage amendment.
The amendment was defeated in j*11 the
precincts hut number 1. where seniors
and faculty voted. The same is true
of the vote on the amendment repeal
ing the Sunday closing law.
The election showed a decided lack
of understanding of the issues, on the
part of the students. Numbers were
crossed in many instances, no doubt,
where the marker did not actually know
whether he was voting for or against
the bill or amendment.
Freshman Confused.
After the election a freshman was
overheard discussing his ballot. “I sure
put my stamp of approval on that anti
compulsory vaccination bill,” he declared
proudly. A critical examination on the
part of an upperclassman disclosed the
fact that the freshman had done juet
the opposite from what he thought.
Echo Zahl for Constable.
A feature of the election was a single
vote for Echo .Tune Zahl for constable in
Eugene justice district. Echo was quite
elated to hear the news. She said, “If
I had had a hunch that I was so popular
I would have campaigned to beat the
band.”
Leslie Blades, graduate student, polled
one ballot for sheriff of Lane county.
He said his election would hardly be
compatible with the defeat of the liquor
amendment, for he would intend to make
blind-pigging one of the chief issues of
his administration.
Ben Olcott lead his opponent by 455
votes for secretary of state.
Ant'-Closing Law Carries.
The bill repealing and abolishing the
Sunday closing law carried by a small
margin of seven votes in the entire poll.
The bills forbiding importation of liquors
or the manufacture of malt liquors within
the state carried by large majorities.
Professor Allen and -his advanced
classes in journalism conducted the elec
tion. Mr. Allen, as county clerk, re
quired that all returns be properly made
out and turned in to his office. The
statements will be kept on file.
