Advocates Compulsory Training
in All Universities of the
United States .
For the second time within a month

On his last trip to Eugene Mr. Cham

paigning for the democratic administra
tion. He was touring the state and mak
ing talks for Wilson. This time he
comes to address the University students
and faculty on his favorite subject, the
past few years of his senatorhsip; a
subject that occupied a great deal of at
tention in the last session of Congress
and has caused the whole American peo
ple to sit up and think since the Europ
ean war broke out in 1914 As chairman
of the senate military committee Mr.
Chamberlain has worked hard for a uni
versal military program. He has en
deavored several times to secure an
army officer for the University of Ore
gon. His plan is to make military train
ing compulsory in the Universities and
to turn out from the highest educational
Institutions of the country a worthy
type of army officer.
In his talk to the students tomorrow
Mr. Chamberlain will give special at
tention to the University phase of mili
tary education. He will point out his
reasons for trying to institute military
training in the universities and for ad
vocating a universal plan of army drill.
A ten minute period of invocation will
precede the address by Senator Cham
berlain. Rev. Case will give a scripture
reading. Music will be furnished by the
glee clubs of the University.
DEAN FOX GETS LETTER
Dean of Wompn at Northwestern Writes
About Self-Government.
Dean Elizabeth Fox bag received com
munication from Mary Ross Potter, dean
of women at Northwestern University,
describing the plan which certain stu
dents have for self government. A con
stitution has been drawn up and is before
the students. If a large number sign
their names to a petition that is being
circulated to install the new constitution,
it will be tried. A great many of the
students both in the town and in fra
ternities are opposed to this move, as it
is more restrictive than the rules they
are now living under.
Northwestern now' has classes in hy
giene and home nursing under the aus
pices of the Red Cross association. The
Evanstown hospital is now affiliated with
Northwestern and the head of its train
ing school for nurses is ready to help
the university in establishing these
courses. The University has also a
resident physician and nurse.
Dean Fox says that although the
plains are veiry interesting they are
not being considered as practical for the
University of Oregon.

CHEERS FROM WHEELCHAIR

WILL REBEC VIEWS GAME
4t * « «
GOES BACK TO HOSPITAL
One of the most interested and en
thusiastic rooters at the University of
Oregon and Washington State College
football game on Multnomah field last
Saturday, was Will Rebec, tightly wrap
ped iu blankets, on his stretcher wheel
chair placed in front of the Oregon root
ing section.
For five months as he lay in his room
in St. Vincent hospital, he has looked
forward to the treat of seeing this game
promised him by Dean John Straub,
provided he was sufficiently recovered
from a serious operation performed on
his hip.
His face wore a smile of excited pleas
ure, and at each successful play of
his team, off would come his rooter’s
cap, for which he had sent to Eugene.
At the end of the game one of the
happiest supporters of Oregon in her
victory over the much heralded Deitz
team, was Will Rebec.
It did not matter that two thoughtful
students, John Matheson and Harold
White were slowly pushing his wheel
chair back to the dreary hospital room,
where he will have to stay till after
Christmas. He had seen Oregon win.
and the memories of that game would
help to keep him cheered up through
many lonesome hours till the cast on his
leg will be removed, and he will be well
again.
Will Rebec is the son of Dr. George
Rebec, professor of philosophy, at the
University. He was a freshman last
year.
DEBATERS TO TRY-OUT
Eighteen Candidates Will Com
pete for Team Saturday.
All Last Year’s Team Except
Nick Jauregny Enter
Preliminaries.
The preliminary tryout for the Var
sity debating team is scheduled to take
place in Guild hall, at 9 o’clock Saturday
morning. Eighteen candidates have reg
istered with Coach Prescott. Of the old
team, Kick Jaureguy is the only one not
entering. Walter Myers, the alumni med
al winner, and captain of last year’s
team, will be the Varsity mainstay again
this year. Rosalind Bates and Earl
Fleischmann have also signified their
intention of entering the lists. Although
they were both on the team last year,
according to the policy pursued by Prof.
Prescott, they must try out on the same
footing as the freshmen.
Of the upperclass men registered, Arlo
Bristo and L. Beebe have the most prom
ising records. Mr. Beebe was a member
of the Morning Side debating team dull
ing his freshman and sophomore years
at that college.
Rosamond Shaw, a junior, entering
from W. S. C’., has had debating experi
ence at the Washington college. Vivian
Kellems is another junior girl who is ex
pected to give ti good account of herself.
Miss Kellems made the high school team
in her freshman year.
Beside the upper class men there are
twelve freshmen who will try out, and
Coach Prescott says he expects to see
some varsity material developed there.
The question used in the try out will
be: ’’Resolved, that the United States
shoul adopt the essential features of the
Canadian system for the settlement of
industrial disputes.”s Each speaker will
be given five minutes, and there will be
no rebuttal.
The judges are Conch Prescott, Prof.
Gilbert, and Dean Morton. Equal im
portance will be given to delivery and to
handling of material. There are eight
places to be filled as well as two alter
nates.
FACULTY TO DELAY ACTION
No Measures Preventing Students Beat
ing Way on Railroads Will Be Taken.
K. W. Onthank, secretary to Presi
dent Campbell, says that no action will
be taken by the faculty to prevent Uni
versity students beating their way to
and from athletic games in other towns
unless the practice continues.
The faculty received a letter from the
Southern Pacific railroad company which
asked for the faculties’ co-operation in
suppressing this practice.

Eastern Campus Life and Foot
ball Game Featured
in Play.
Comedy, Love and Excitement
Run Through the Pro
duction.
Russell Fox.
All the “pep” of eastern campus life,
with the excitement of a football game
thrown in for good measure, will be a
feature of the production of “Strong- I
heart” in Guild hull on the evenings of
November 17 and 18. All the male char
acters are college men, the majority of
whom are on the team, so the “game”
is one of the big topics of conversation
during the play.
Of course, the captain has an attrac
tive sister, Dorothy, who, accompanied
by her equally attractive friends, and
chaperoned by Mrs. Nelson, call on “the
boys” for tea on the afternon before
the game. And naturally enuf, Dorothy
and Strongheart meet, and are mutually
attracted.
The second act, which takes place in
the training quarters of the team be
tween halves of the big game, is played
entirely by men. Strongheart is accused
of betraying his team, and consequently
is taken off the team.
Act three occurs on the evening after
the game, at the home of Dorothy. The
boys have found out the sentiment exist
ing between Dorothy and Strongheart,
and are indignant that an Indian should
dare make love to a white woman. He
is told to leave the house, but insists
upon returning the next day for his
answer. A messenger, coming from his
people, with news of the death of Strong
heart’s father, and that he is now chief,
interrupts his plans. After a dramatic
scene, he decides to give up Dorothy,
and to return to his own people.
One of the best bits of comedy in the
play are the scenes between Billy and
Molly, who, very early in the action of
th piece, have found that the “course of
true love never did run smooth.” But,
as Billy frantically endeavors to prove,
it is true love in this case, so all ends
happily for them.
In the order of their first appearance,
the cast will be: Taylor, a sophomore,
Russell Fox; Ross, a freshman, Warren
Edwnrds; Reade, a “grind”, Wilfred
Jenkins; Thorne, a special, Clayton Bald
win; Skinner, John Barnett; Frank
Nelson, a senior, Earl Murphy; Dick
Livingstone, a junior, Robert McNary;
Billy, a senior, ‘'by request”, Ernest
Watkins; Siegfried, a mascot, by him
self; Soangntaha, known as “Strong
heart,” Earl Fleisehmann; Mrs. Nelson,
Dick's mother, Anita Hunter; Molly,
Dick’s sister, Alice Hill; Betty Bates,
Molly’s chum, Sylvia Rowland; Maud
Weston, Molly’s chum’s friend,. Marion
Chapin; Dorothy Nelson, Frank’s sister,
Laura Miller; Nash, a back. Jay Gore;
Tad, a rubber, Thurston Laraway; Far

TO SEND OUT ROSE SLIPS
H. M. Fisher, Superintendent of Grounds,
Will Have Nearly 6000 Cuttings
Every year Mr. H. M. Fisher, superin
tendent of the University grounds,
sends out rose slips to the various
public schools over the state for the
use in their own grounds.
Last year many requests came in after
the roses were gone. This year he
has not started to send roses out be
cause it is not a good policy to take
them up before early spring. Possibly
some failures, a complaint of which came
in from schools in eastern Oregon was
due to this fact.
There will be from five to six thous
and roses sent out this year to schools
who care to beautify their grounds. Two
varieties, the Karl Drusehki and the
Caroline are to be sent exclusive, for
they are considered best for hedges and
are usually preferred. As yet few re
port from Jleppner, Oregon, that most
cess of the roses. There wag one re
port from Heppner Oregon that most
of the roses had died, but possibly the
cause was due to climatic conditions.
“Could Hold Its Own With Yale
or Harvard,” Is Com

Varsity Shows Return of Form
Against W. S. C. in Game
Saturday.
William Haseltine
“The greatest team that, ever repre
sented the University”—“A team that
could hold its own with Yale or Har
vard,”—these and like expressions were
the comments of the critics who saw
Oregon’s victory over W. S. C. The
Varsity showed a return to form that
was as unexpected as it was gratifying^
Pitted against a team that is reeoguized
as one of the best in the country, Bez>
dek’s men outshone their opponents in
all departments of the game.
The Varsity tested out the Staters in
the first three quarters and wore them
down. Then iu the last period the
lemon-yellow offense opened with a rush
that swept the visitors off their feet.
Every down was a gain and but for some
unfortunate fumbles Oregon might have
scored another touchdown or two.
Oregon's superiority is clearly shown
by a glance at the statistics. The locals
gained 21(1 yards for 14 first downs
while Dietz's team made 147 for nine.
Oregon lost 21 yards to the red and
gray’s 29. In punting Oregon had a hig
edge, Johnny Beckett booting the leather
for an average of 46 yards to Boone's
24.
The game Saturday had all the feat
ures that, the Washington contest lacked.
It was a great exhibition of football,
chuck full of spectacular and exciting
stuff. Dong runs, trick plays and place
kicks kept the crowd on edge from the
first kick-off to the finish.
W. S. C.’s backfield didn’t have the
punch that characterized Oregon’s
ground-gainers. Parsons and Shy Hun
tington broke away time and again when
it seemed they were surely downed.
On their showing against the Varsity,
the Pullman eleven does not match up
to the Washington team. Offensively the
teartis are about on a par but Dobie’s de
fense is stronger than the Staters.’ To
ward the latter part of the game Oregon
ripped the W. S. C. line to shreds.
Durham, the expert drop-kicker, lived
up to press notices and booted a pretty
goal in the third quarter. Shy went him
one better with two goals out of four
tries. On all of the kicks the line held
superbly.
The same eleven men that started the
contest finished Jt, making but one sub
stitution for the past three games. Most
of the team bear some marks of battle,
Mitchell being the worst sufferer with an
injured eye.
Bez gave the boys a light workout I
Monday before beginning the hard grind
to prepare for the Aggie game. In case
Johnny Parsons doesn’t play against O.
A. (’. a new combination will have to be
formed. The couch hud Beckett at right
half and Ban Williams at left tackle for
a while last night.
The Aggies were unmercifully wallop
ed by Washington but past records show
that Oregon-O. A. C. games never run
according to dope so Bez isn’t taking
any chances.

ONLY 40 STUDYING LATIN j
What has become of the college stu
dent who took a scholastic delight in
poring over the Latin masters prose and
verse? Where is the undergraduate who
can quote long passages of Vergil and
Ovid? True, they do exist, hut in stead
ily decreasing numbers.
At the present time there are over 50
students in the University enrolled in ■
courses in Greek, including the course in
Greek mythology. There are but 40
taking courses in Latin, according to the
figures on file iu the President’s office.
Opposed to this is the heavy enrollment
of over 150 iu the Spanish classes.
PRACTICE BASKETBALL
Freshmen and Sophomores Are Trying
Out for Class Teams.
Two practices have been held by the
freshman and sophomore girls who are
trying out for the class teams in basket
hall. All givlg signing up for practice
have not attended and there have not
been enough girls for two teams from
either class.
At present neither the juniors nor the
seniors are represented as it has not
been possible to interest a sufficient
number.
Twice ns much floor space is available
this year us formerly and more time to
practice; basketball should play a more
prominent part in women's activities.
COMMITTEE TO MEET
Will Discuss Living Conditions
in Fraternity Houses.
Object Is to Find Out What
Students Need and Then
Help Them.
A meeting of the committee on stu
dent liviug will be held tomorrow in
President Campbell's office. The subject
under discussion will be living condi
tions in fraternity houses. “We are try
ing to fond out how students live, and
after we have the facts of the matter we
will tfty to better conditions,” says Pro
fessor Hovurd, chairman of the com
mittee.
The committee haN been organized for
about a month and two meetings have
been held before this. Yale is the only
college in the United States holding such
a survey, according to Professor Bo
vard. “We are not trying to pry into the
living conditions of the student, but we
want to find out what he needs and then
help him get it,” continued Professor Bo
yard. “We have iuvited people to help
us by offering suggestions for our work.
We want to figure out what the best ar
rangement for a fraternity house and a
hoarding place can be and when we find
out we will move heaven and earth to
get it."
A regular question form will he sent to
the students later in the year asking
what they consider necessary to good
living conditions.
There are eight fuculty members on
the committee. They include: President
Campbell, Miss Cummings, Professor
Bovard, Professor Stafford, Professor
Dyment, Professor Ilehec, Professor
Ayer, and Karl Onthank.
Later in the year plans will be con
sidered for bettering the medical aid for
students. “In everything we take up
we will need the co-operation of the
students,” said Professor Bovard. “The
baching students have met us more than
half way and have already offered some
valuable suggestions.”

0. II. C. ROOKS WILL
CUM OREGON
Corvallis Will Play Seven Var
sity Trained Freshmen in
Saturday’s Game.
AGGIES TO SEND 400
ROOTERS TO CONTEST
Anderson, Wilson, Strowbridge
and Reinhardt to Bear
Brunt for Oregon.
It is a formidable team which Coach
Walker and his Oregon freshmen will
meet here next Saturday in the Oregon
O. A. C. freshman football game with
the dope mostly favoring the Aggie frosh.
The O. A. C. freshman have on their
team this year seven men who also play
on the varsity.
All seven of them were in the game
when <). A. ('. defeated W. S. C. and
in the Nebraska game.
Among them will be Conn at the pres
ent time O. A. (Vs strongest player.
Conn was brought this fall from Pasa
dena, California, by Coach Flpal. He is
a fast open field runner who has been
making good from the start. He has
made more yardage than any other man
on his team.
It is around Conn that the team which
conics here next. Saturday will undoub
tedly he built. To be prepared against
this and to guard against Conn’s long
runs this week’s practice of the Oregon
team will principally be directed.
Conn’s style of play will throw most
of the Oregon defensive work on ends
Anderson and "Wilson and halves, Strow
bvldge and Reinhardt. All are strong
men, which gives Walker something to
work on and somewhat relieves the four
of Conn’s end runs.
The Oregon freshmen team, aided by
the Pacific Coast conference ruling bar
ing first year men from varsity play
ing, is fully as strong as any previously
produced by the University. All their
games this year have been won by
safe margins and were easy victories.
But O. A. C. has a similar record and
has been playing teams of even greater
ability than those met by Oregon frosh.
The victory won over Multnomah last
Saturday again casts considerable gloom
on the hopes of Oregon’s first year men.
That O. A. C. students expect victory
is shown by the report that they a«ro
sending four hundred rooters to Eugene.
The Oregon freshman lineup will be:
Anderson, left end; Spike Leslie, left
tackle; Berg, right guard; Tracy, right
center; Berg, right guard; Tracy, right
tackle, Wilson, right end; Reinahrt, left
half; iSteerH, quarterback; Strowbridge,
right half and Mast, full.
LAW SCHOOL WILL MOVE
Heating System Trouble in New Quarters
Causes Delay
The law school will not move into its
new quarters on the third floor of the
new Education building until some time
next week because of trouble with the
heating system, according to I’rof. E.
W. Hope, dean of the school of law.
The law department, which was to
have moved yesterday, will occupy the
southern three-quarters of the Educa
tion building. It will have u library, three
class rooms, a room for the librarian,
four office rooms for the members of
the faculty and the use in the evening
of a large room on the second floor, with
a sloping elevation which will be used
during the day ns an assembly room for
the school of education. It will be used
by the law School for moot-court work.
The law books of which there are more
than a thousand, have been on the
shelves of the University library. The
Board of Uegents has appropriated a
fund of $3500 towards law books. Half
of this has already been expended and
the new books are here. These, together
with the books in the University library
will be taken to the law library and two
student librarians will be put in charge
them from eight in the morning until
n at night. There will be a desk for
hem so that they will he able to pre
pare their lessons during library hours.
There are thirty students in the law
department and they have been oocupy
j ing the old music rooms in Friendly hull.
■ On account of the scarcity in rooms I’ro
] lessor Hope has been compelled to do
| most of his office work at home and has
i been unable to spend the afternoons at
' the Univeristy.
