The election of Burle Bramhall as
manager of the Emerald to succeed
George Colton, resigned; the election of
Frank Scaiefe yell leader to succeed
Jack Dolph who has left school; the
consideration of an amendment making
‘ the orchestra a student activiey, and
the investigation of the issuing of pro
grams for the Oregon-Washington game
were some of the features that filled the
program of the student council’s meet
ing last night.
“Upon two issues,” Nicholas Jaureguy,
president of the student council, explain
ed to that body at its meeting last
night, “depend the final settlement of
the problem raised by the soliciting of
advertising from the Eugene merchants
for the programs for the Oregon-Wash
ington game last Saturday. The first of
these is the promise given to the mer
chants in 1914, that from that date only
the Otegana and the Oregon Emerald
would be entitled to their support as
student body publications, and advertis
ing space in these two mediums would
0 be the only space sold with the endorse
ment of the student council.
‘‘The second issue arises from the
fact that at the last meeting of the coun
;il, October 25, a resolution was passed
stating that this case was not to be
an exception and that the consent of
the council could not be given to the pub
lishers. This was passed after the coun
cil had discussed what they considered
the facts of the case.”
The consideration of the question last
night began with a brief review of these
facts; the concession, according to Rus
sell Ralston, one of the publishers of
the program who was present at the
meeting, was originally given to William
Snyder by A. R. Tiffany. Snyder in
turn gave the rights to Ralston, James
Vance and Robert Atkinson and Ralston
and Vance were most active in the is
suing of the program. Before proceed
ing with the issuing of the programs,
Ralston asked Karl Becke, a member of
j the council, if he thought the consent
1 of the council could be gained. Becke
told Ralston that he thought the council
could not object, provided the merchants
were warned that this was not a stu
dent body enterprise and the plan of the
publishers to print on each page a state
ment to this effect was carried out. The
merchants were each advised according
to Ralston but the printing of the state
ment on each page of the program was
neglected.
The objection to the soliciting of ad
vertising space from the merchants lies
in the fact that only a certain amount of
money is set aside for advertising each
year by the business men and according
to an estimate submitted to the coun
cil the loss to the Emerald through ad
vertising which will now be denied the
student paper on account of having been
given to the program, will amount to
about $140.
Ralston claims that the Lane County

GERMAN CLUB FROLICS
# * # *
JOKES OR FORFEITS,WHICH?
# ■ # * *
PLANS ENTERTAINMENT
The telling of German jokes and the
1 redeeming of the forfeits which were
paid as a penalty for not coining forth
with a joke, caused a great deal of mer
riment’ at the meeting of the German
Club at the Y. W. C. A. Bungalow last
night. The means of regaining the for
feits differed all the way from a German
political speech for Hughes to a declara
tion of love in German.
The latest thing the club is planning to
stage is a student body dance to be given
by the club at the men’s gymnasium No
vember 25, the evening of the O. A. C.
game. The plans cannot be made defin
itely till arrangements are made con
cerning the date, but if it cannot bo
arranged for that time the dance will
be given later on.
Plans are also being made for a Christ
mas entertainment to be given the
Thursday before vacation begins. A
Christmas tree and program will be fea
tures of the evening and refreshments
will be served.
Now is the time to be looking up good
German poems as there will be fiist,
second and third prizes for the best
German recitations in the near future.
These are to be spoken before tne mem
bers of the club who will decide on the
merits.
The date of the presentation of the
German play, “Der Meisterschaff” lias
been announced as the first Friday in
January.
Games and a German reading by Pro
fessor Herman Schwarz are planned for
the next meeting, which will be Wednes
day night.
MANY BETS WILL BE PAID
—
Wagers Take Form of Mill Ra:e Parties,
Banquets and Candy.
Bets varying from a banquet to a
millrace party featured the election on
the campus. Several of the fraternity
houses staged bets between their Hughes
men and their Wilson supporters.
The Delta Tau Deltas have agreed
that the loosing side will submit to be
ing thrown into the millrace by the
winners. In that house the Hughes sup
porters are in the minority, so the pros
pects for them are not very bright.
In the Kappa Sigma house the sides
are exactly even, 18 to 18. There the
losing men will have to stage sore sort
of an entertainment and provide a din
ner for their victors.
The Phi Delts have arranged for a
banquet at the Osburn a week from Sun
day. The two sides are evenly matched
in numbers and the loosers will have to
finance the dinner.
Some of the individual wagers were in
the form of dinners for two or four at
the Osburne. Many bets of candy were
made by the co-eds. A freshman and a
senior made an unusual bet, almost. The
senior, if he lost, agreed to wear a
green cap one whole day, while the
freshman, if he were the looser, promised
to sit all day, or at least at every pos
sible opportunity, on the senior bench.
The freshman, however decided that he
was taking great chances and “resigned”
on the bet.
PRESIDENT ON TRIP EAST
Expects to Be Back From Convention in
Two Weeks.
President F. L. Campbell left Tues
day evening for Washington, D. C.,
where he will attend a meeting of the
National Association of State Universi
ties on the thirteenth and fourteenth of
this month. President Campbell has
been asked to address the association on
the question: "Cun we formulate ideals
for which state universities are spon

be represented in this congress, and since
the time given to the congress is .o
short, it is a noteworthy honor which has
■been conferred upon the Oregon presi

Prospects for Team This Year
Doubtful; Few Old
Men Back.
Varsity basketball will be reinstated
this year. This was definitely decided
Tuesday evening at a special meeting
of the faculty. Action on the matter
resulted from a petition presented by the
student-council asking for resumption of
the varsity game. Last year Oregon
was not a member of any conference in
basketball.
The student-council argued for rein
statement of intercollegiate basketball
on the grounds that it furnishes phy
sical benefit to as many students as
does inter-class games; that it does not

of students by the physical trainers;

that the benefit to the student-body as a
whole from versity basketball far out
weighs any possible advantage of in
tramural sports.
Student sentiment has been in favor
of the varsity game since its suspension
by the faculty last fall. It was claimed
that more time should be allowed coaches
during the winter for attention to a
large number of students who would not
play varsity ball. The argument that
intercollegiate basketball was expen
sive and yielded little returns was also
advanced by several members of the
faculty. The faculty decision comes as a
surprise to the student-body generally.
Although the petition was favored by a
large majority of the students it was
feared that it would be voted down by
the same sentiment that originally figur
ed in the discontinuation of the varsity
sport.
Interclass games proved a decided
success last winter. A large number
of games were dayed and a great many
students benefited by the contests, but
attendance was small and the spirit which
characterize intercollegiate contests was
almost absent.
The petition by the student council ad
vanced the contention that the snme
widespread benefit is possible along with
varsity rasketball. And that r’ne spirit
of rivalry is healthy to the students ano
scJiool ia general in developing individ
uality and confidence.
Sever-l old varsity stars have not
returned to the University. Just vhat
the prosp 'ts Me for a team this cea.'on
are doubtful. A few good men - main
as a nucleus around which to build a
strong quintet.

The game Saturday will determine
whether or not Oregon has any claim to
the championship of the northwest.
Dietz, the W. S. C. chief, is bringing
with him a wonderful machine composed
of seasoned men, which will no doubt
make it very interesting for the lemon
yellow supporters who find it possible
to accompany the players. Specials will

LIBRARY BOOKS MUTILATED
Clipping Cut From Bound Magazines and
Books; State Law Violated.
The library is being troubled by stu
dents mutilating books, magazines and
they were last spring,” says Mr. Douglas
These depredations are not confined to
unbound copies; many bound magazines
have clippings cut roni them.
‘‘Mutilations happen every year • and
fortunately are not. as bad this fall as
they were last spring,” says Mr. Douglass.
Mr. Douglass, asks that anyone finding
mutilations report them at once as it is
sometimes hard to duplicate a magazine
if it is very old.
Recent mutilations are: The bound

TEAMS PRIM
FIGHT TO
Dope Gives U. of 0. 50-50
Chance Against W. S. C.
Saturday.
DIETZ HAS NINE
VETERANS IN LINEUP
Victory Will Place Oregon in
Running for the Champ-,
ionship.
William Haseltino
With both teams having a 50-50
chance on the dope sheet, Oregon and
Washington State are primed for a fight
to the finish next Saturday on Mult
nomah field. The Varsity will leave
Friday morning on the 7:35 Oregon
Electric so that they can have a workout
in Portland before the game.
The lemon-yellow has put in ft strenu
ous week of practice ns the strength of
the Pullman contingent is known to be
equal if not superior to^the championship
team of last year. All of our men are in
fine condition with the exception of Mon
tieth who has a weak knee, but he will
undoubtedly be ready when the whistle
blows.
To beat W. S. C. is going to be a
Hereuleanenn task, for Indian Dietz has
nine of his old men back. Zimmerman
and Doom is, ends; Brooks and Herried,
tackles; Fishbnck, -uard and Langdon,
center, are all letter men in the line.
In the backfield Bangs at half, Doane at
fullback and Durham at quarter were
also regulars last year. Hamilton, guard,
and Boone, right haflbaek are the new
comers.
Loomis may be out of the lineup as he
was injured in the Idaho game. If the
bear stories from Pullman are to bo be
lieved four or five more of the squad
are under the weather.
Oregon is going up against a team that
started slow but kept getting better and
better until now it has reached the maxi
mum of its power. O. A. C., aided by
the breaks in the luck and by the
Staters fumbling, bent them 1.1-10 al
though Dietz's men outrushed the Aggies
two to one. This took the overconfld- *
cnee out of them and they overwhelmed
the heavy Montana eleven UT-0 and
trampled oil Idaho 31-0.
In the Idaho game Durham kicked
three field goals out of four attempts.
Anywhere within the 40 yard zone Dur
ham appears to be well-nigh infallible.
Both Oregon ana Washington State
use the direct pass and practically the
same formation. They are about even
ly matched in weight and experience ns
well. W. S. C.’s defense has held all of
the opposing backs it has met so far to
small gains. Montana made three first
downs and Idaho but two.
Multnomah field is easily drained and
ulmost sure to be dry so that a better
game than last week's is certain. The
team that gets the breaks will win.
The same lineup that started the
Washington game will start Saturday. If
Loomis and Zimmerman are unable to
play, Hanley and Boone will probably get
their positions. Otherwise Diet* will
depend on the men that beat Idaho.
Fullmun is planning on sending their
bund and about a hundred rooters with
the team and from present indications
will have as many if not more. Section*
will be reserved for the students in the
bleachers. The newspapers are advertis
ing the game extensively and provisions
are being made for a record-breaking
crowd.
If Oregon wins she will still be in
running for the championship.
DOLPH LEAVES UNIVERSITY
