The rule adopted by the Pacific Const Conference colleges barring freshman from intercollegiate athletics has un doubtedly kept some men from making the Varsity football team this year. As a result, Oregon is this year spending ns much if not more money on the fresh man team than many of the smaller col leges of Oregon on their major teams. Oregon Agricultural College, our state sister institution, is in the same position. Both Oregon and O. A. C. have de veloped freshman teams this year that are marvels. Last Saturday Multnomah Club was humbled by the Corvallis rooks 17-ti and two weeks before the Ore gon frosh won from the Chemawu Indi ans 41-0. Saturday these two winners will meet on the Kincaid gridirpn to set tle their annual scores. But somewhat differently thnn usual this year will be the fact that the two teams will meet but once. In other words this year in augurates the custom of holding an nn liual game between the two freshman tennis. This yenr will give the Uni versity the annual freshman game and Corvallis is the annual varsity game. Next year the schedule will just be re versed. O. A. C. has played some of their freshmen in Varsity games and they have been able to show their flue possibilities ns first team material. The Oregon babes have not had this opportunity. But on the q. t. it will be some game Sat urday and if you want to see it get your Seats early. Student body tickets admit. AS TO DUDES. There are three kinds of campus dudes: the dress dude, the social dude and the mental dude. Of the first two we can dispense with quickly. The first is a white collar and a flaring tie capped with an empty nutshell. The second is a combination of the first with an aris tocratic stare, a love for social promin ence, inability to say "hello" and an inane desire to hog the "queens” of the campus. Hut the third is a specimen, the whys and wherefores of which is beyond our pen. lie is no fool but Ms every achievement as a gas generator, the product of which goes to his brain and elevates him in his own mind and makes him a diamond in his own little world. AVe have in mind a sample chap, and to make a e merete example quote the case, lie once took some kind of a (dace in a race which entitled him to a point of some character or other. The poor reporter overlooked him in the shuffle of the story and the devil may take us if he wasn’t goiutt to turn the world upside down because HE had been overlooked. That boy had tin stuff in him to make good could he but have overcome that mental dudisbness which made hiui an obnoxious character. Yet on the proof of a wager it would be no venture to say that the most of us are inclined to l>c mental dudes. A SUGGESTION. T>own in Oregon they cut the intri cacies of dress to high serviceable shoes I Slid soft flannel shirts. That saves a I lot of trouble for the man higher up, ik' • to mention what it saves to us at tin { malted counter and with the jituey bus. | Simplicity in dress is always to tie commended, especially in a large demo cratic institution like a state university. The open flannel shirt not only leads to comfort and shrunken laundry bills, but it promotes the general bonhommie of those present. Some one had better start a tradition like that here at Wash ington.—Washington Daily. From the reports of the sensational runs made by freshman^ “Tuffy” Conn of Oregon Agricultural College the game between the two freshman teams on Kin caid Saturday Bhould be some “Conn” session.

Water Colors of Oregon Birds, Fish and Mammals Shown. Studies Painted by Bruce Hors fall of New York and Mrs. Albert Sweetser. An exhibition of water-color studies of Oregon native birds, native fish, and mammals which excels anything ever shown in the state according to Mr Knton, opened at one o’clock today, in the exhibition room of the Architecture building.

ALLEN GOING TO PENDLETON. Professor Eric W. Allen is going to 1 endleton, this Friday or next, to speak to the Fniatilla Editorial association on the system of "cost accounting.’’ CAMPUS PLAYERS TO GIVE FRENCH FARCE Ernest Watkins and Helen Bracht Will Have Stellar Roles. Director Gilbert, of Baker Stock Company, Will Coach Production. The cast of ‘‘A Live Corpse,” the French farce to be presented by Campus Players at the Eugene theatre on De cember 8, is now complete. Ernest Watkins will have a stellur role in the part of Bob Ransome. This happy-go lucky, dare-devil reporter offers the best comedy opportunities of the piece. Mr. Watkins will be remembered for his ‘‘Frances” in “What the Public Wants,” und more recently “Don Jose,” in “The Cradle Song.” Helen Bracht will play opposite Mr. Watkins us “Vivian,” the wife of Bob’s best friend. Incidently, Vivian is the “Live Corpse” mentioned in the title, and the cause of all the trouble. In Bob's own words, “.She is the livest corpse you ever saw.” Miss Bracht played leading role in all of the Campus Players previous productions. Edgar .Stearling, Vivian’s jealous hus band, will fall to the lot of Earl Fleisch inan. This is the one straight part in the farce, and by its very soberness furnish es amusing situations. The silly little giggly Miss Ford, who is in love with Bob, will be played by Rosalind Bates. Miss Ford is the usual sentimental school girl who dreams of a conquering hero. After such character's as Ibsens, “Hedda,” and “Nora,” this will be quite a departure for Mrs. Bates. Eyla Walker remembered from her “Ottimu” as well ns the “Queen of Hearts” in “Alice in Wonderland,” will essay the different character role of Mrs. Ford. Hawkins, the funny little friend of the Stearlings, who thinks he owns New York, will bo in the hands of Charles Prim. Mr. Prim played the comedy lends in the Campus Players three summer school plays. Rosamond Shaw, a junior from W. S. ('., who played "Sister Inez” in “The Cradle Song,” will play Lucy, the Stearl ing’s maid of all work. The two quarrel some detectives, Wild and Dines, will be played by George Colton and Victor Setlier. Both these men have appeared in four previous productions. Bill Jasper, the lazy jailer, will find an interpreter in Bob McNary. Clayton Baldwin will have the part of Fanley, a grouchy stage manager. Lillian Lit tler will enact the part of the nurse who brings Vivian back to consciousness after her escapade. J. G. Barrett, will make his second appearence in University cir cles as Captain Blighton, an incompetent chief of police. ltehersals for “A Live Corpse” are well under way. Director Gilbert, of tli Baker Stock Company in Portland, is expected to supervise the production dur ing the last week before presentation. WILL ASK FACULTY FOR CLASS HOURS Committee to Present Petition at the Next Faculty Meeting. Classes Will Stage Vaudeville Programs at Assembly if Action Is Favorable. “Shall we nr shall we not have class hours in the future?” is a question going the rounds on the campus. Karl Broke is chairman of a committee appointed by the student council to present a petition to the faculty requesting the restoration of these occasions. The other members of the committee are Leura Jerard and Martha Beer. A petition has been drawn up and will ho presented to the faculty at its next meeting, which comes the first part of December. Neglect prevented its presentation at the November meeting. Ixist year the faculty abolished the custom of having one assembly each year : for each class to present a vaudeville program. This action was taken° be EUGENE THEATRE Friday Saturday SPECIAL RETURN ENGAGEMENT mm ^ Matinee at 2:15 NOV. 17-18 Night at 8:15 ELLIOTT AND SHERMAN PRESENTS D. W.

THE GREATEST AMERICAN PLAY AT LAST Mail Orders Now. Seat Sale Thursday, Nov. 16th. Prices Nights: 25c, 50c, $1.00 Matinees—Adults: 50c_Children: 25c I cause the vaudeville presented had “de- j generated into the cheapest kind of en tertainment, partly because of lack of | interest in the classes, which was shown by the apathy with which the committees appointed to handle the programs work ed,” stated K. W. Onthank, President , Campbell’s secretary. Mr. Onthank says the faculty looked with approval on these shows only ns long as they were up to a certain stand ard. It is the aim of the administra tion to supply subjects for the assem blies which will be both educational and interesting, and the time devoted to such j shows as were presented just before | these hours were abolished was regarded | as time lost, by the authorities. Mr. j Onthank thinks the faculty would not j look unfavorably on the restoration of class hours if the students would show that they would try to make the enter tainment worth while. In his opinion there is enough talent in the classes to produce some really good programs. If this petition is acted upon favorably by the faculty it is up to the members of the classes to make their entertainments high-class and interesting. The general trend of student opinion seems to be in favor of the restora tion of class hours, which should have some weight with the faculty. and favorable action on the matter is expect ed. i Women’s Leather Sole Shoes $1.75 $2.00 $250 Rubber Soles 70* 90* $1.15 Men’s Rubber Soles 75* $1 $125 $150 YORAN’S Shoe Store The Store That Sells GOOD SHOES *•* Pictures, Picture-Framing, Books and Stationery Church and School Publishing Company 832 Willamette St. j Telephone 220 UNIVERSITY BAKERY In a Class by Itself Delilah Trimmed Samson’s Hair But that was long before we started business LET US TRIM YOURS SCIENTIFIC SHAVING and HAIR-CUTTING IS OUR SPECIALTY Marx’s Barber Shop 829 Willamette St. Obak Advertises 58 and 60 Ninth Ave. E.
