HI FROSH TEAMS FO CUSH SATURDAY Seven 0. A. C. Varsity Trained Rooks Will Line Up Against Oregon. DOPE FAVORS AGGIES AS CERTAIN WINNERS First Year Men Plan Monster Rally for Friday Evening. / - Jimmy Sheehy Oregon spirit is at fever heat over the coming battle Saturday afternoon on Kincaid field between Coach Everett May’s seasoned Aggie rooks and Dean *■ Walker’s lemon-yellow frosh. The game is scheduled for 2:30 p. m. with Grover Francis and Martin Pratt of Portland acting in the official capacities of referee and umpire. The head linesman has not been agreed upon as yet. Never before has so much interest been taken in the battle of the rival first year men. Fandom remembers last year’s encounter when the Aggies were licked 12 to 0 after bringing over an eleventh hour protest disqualifying half of the frflhh team. It remembers how a misfit organization fought like no Oregon team ever fought—-it remem bers the thrills and heart throbs never to be forgotten. The Aggies never sent a team to in vade the Eugene campus more primed or determined to bring back a scalp with them—to atone for last year’s double varsity—frosh drubbing—to counteract in a measure what they expect to happen next November 25 in their own pastures. SfMe £00 Corvalliaftres hire" plan ding f>ti making the trip on the special train leaving Saturday morning, ready to back their hopefuls to the limit. All the dope favors the Aggies to romp home easy winners. The rooks have the advantage of varsity coaching having played three conference teams while wearing the orange and black. In fact Whitman held the O. A. C. varsity to a standstill for threelquarters in their recent tangle at Corvallis. Coach Pipal then shot in his yearlings who rar. up • 23 points in some 15 minutes of playing time. Their latest feat was the 10 to 6 licking they handed the Multnomah club last Saturday morning. Regardless of who is returned the win ner the fans are due to wituess two 1 of the greatest football prospects in action that the coast preparatory schools have ever turned out. All eyes are clamoring for an opportunity to compare Tuffy Conn, the 158 pound wonder, with Bill Steers, the flashy Dalles boy. Around these two individuals both coaches have built their attack. Steers nnd Conn by a strange coincidence are calling the signals, running back the punts, and in cidentally dropkicking field goals inside the 45 yard line. Conn has electrified the stands so often of late by his twist- i ing, squirming, dodging, 60 yard runs that gridiron followers look for him to pull off the sensational and hair-raising at frequent intervals. Carl Lodell , former Jefferson high athlete, and now right half on the Aggie rook eleven, will also have a say when it comes to disporting in the birght glare. Lodell is not a flashy player but he cer tainly can punt. Time and again he has kicked spirals that have sailed 00 yards, often going far over the safety’s head. It promises to be a pretty battle when Steers and Lodell vie in the kicking line. Besides Conn nnd Dodell the Aggies boast of Gill, a husky end from Salem, Captain Busch, the 105 ex-Lincoln high •tar, right end Webster, and fullback Bev Anderson from Long Beach, Cal., who has been playing regularly with the varsity. Hopes for a victory or an even break with O. A. C. went tumbling last night when Duckie Mast was laid up for the season with a dislocated knee—a reward from a gruelling 13 to 3 trimming handed the second team in the final scrimmage before the week-end fray. The loss of Mast is a severe one for Coach Walker at this stage of the game. Springfield, a bulky but inexperienced back, will no doubt work in Mast’s place. Walker has centered his attention the past few nights in forming a defense to thwart Tuffy Conn in his long end run rampages.

S. C. game. You know,-—the one we won. But do you know the trouble he had getting there? No? I thought not,—it has just leaked out, Being a very busy man, as you all know, Mr. Tiffany likes to save time whenever he can. So he reasoned that if he took the midnight sleeper to Portland, he'd save time. He took the sleeper, retiring at 9:30 or thereabouts. During the night, he was awakened by a jolt and went to sleep again, secure in the belief that the sleeper had hooked up with the Seattle Limited as a per prearrangement. At 8:30 a. m. he awoke, looked at his watch, and sprang up in consterna tion, knowing that he must be 40 or 50 miles on the wrong side of Portland. Calling the porter, he “jawed” him soundly for not waking him at 0:30 as per orders. The following dialogue ensued: “Eh, Sam, how long will it take me to get hack to Portland?” “Well, boss, it’ll tak- jest about the same time it usually does from Eu gene,—we ain’t moved a inch all night.” (The train was late, and the sleeper had failed to connect). Mr. Tiffany went home and had a cup of coffee, and went to Portland on the ten o’clock train. PHILOSOPHY BOOKS ADDED $300 Spent by Library in Year for Hegel, Locke and Others. During the last year Prof. George Rebec has been working to increase the number of philosophical books in the lib rary. Until recently there has been lit tle need of such literature, that Dr. Rebec’s classes are larger, he is anxious that the library be strengthened in that respect. He has made a long list of the stand ard works of philosophy, which he would like to see in the library. A good many of the books nre out of print and are not easy to secure. About $300 has been spent in acquiring new volumes during this year. Among the standard volumes recently added are: Fichta’s complete works, edited by his son; Greene’s complete works; Hegel’s complete works; Kant’s complete works; John Locke's complete works; Plutarch's Morals, translated by Goodwin. In addition to the sets, a good many of the single volumes of standard philo sophy have been added, some in the ori ginal French or German, some in trans lation, and some in both. DEPARTMENTS ARE MOVING Extension Division Going to New Quar ters in Education Building. The extension department is moving to the Education building and the journ alism department is moving into the Ex tension building. Eric W. Allen, dean of the school of journalism, will retain his office in the basement of McClure. The extension department has already va cated three of their rooms. Mr. Allen said probably the depart ment of journalism would move Sat urday. Some of the newspaper files have already been moved. The large room on the northeast corner will be fitted up as an ideal city office. Mr. Delay will have his office in one of the smaller rooms. ANTHOLOGY TAKES POEMS - i Work of Grace Edgington and Lillian Porter to Appear in Collection. Miss Grace Edgington and Miss Lil lian Porter have each had a poem ac cepted by the anthology of college verse, published by the Stratford company. The volume includes the best poems written by college students during the preced ing year. Miss Edgington’s poem is “Pictures,” which appeared in last year’s Oregana opposite the colored front piece of the mill race. It is written in regular verse with a dyric quality. Miss Porter’s poem, “Children of America,” is in free verse. STAR AGGIE ROOKS WHO WILL BE pitch AGAINST OREGON BABES ON SATURDAY Severe blow dealt to hopes of victory for Coach Walker's boys by last night's injury to Mast which puts him out of game. GILL—END.

City Placed on Its Honor; North Bend Has No Librarian Did you ever bear of a library without a librarian? Over at the small coast town of North Bend one actually exists. The reading room is in an office building. The janitor of the building turns the lights on and off, sweeps the floor, dusts and keeps things in order; the patrons do the rest. North Bend people have a great deal of confidence in each other. They all use the library on the honor plan. They enter as they please, read what they want, return the volume or periodical to its place, and leave the reading room in ns good order as it was in when, they entered. Mrs. Herbert Armstrong of North Bend is responsible far this unique I library management. She recently spent three weeks at the University of Oregon observing educational methods and lib- , rary management. Mrs. Armstrong stands well up in the educational world. She is deeply interested in the education al methods of the country and has made an extensive study of the college systems. She received a .master’s degree at Chi cngo University in 1000 and afterward taught in the school of pedagogy in Yankton College, South Dakota., While nt. the University of Oregon, Mrs. Armstrong was promised assist ance in her library venture by Mr. Douglass, University librarian. He has been busy for several days packing up a number of duplicate volumes of books and periodicals to send to the North Bend library. The little reading room will he very materially boosted b.V the addition of over a hundred volumes. Mrs. Armstrong is the wife of Herb ert Armstrong, manager of the Memtcha Wooden Ware company, the largest con cern of the kind on the coast. She has two young children. Miss Ethel Sanborn, assistant in the botany department, took educational work under Mrs. Armstrong in the Yankton, South Dakota, university. They visited and revived old memories during Mrs. Armstrong’s recent stay in Eugene. Mrs. Armstrong went from here to Cor vallis where site studied the Oregon Agricultural College methods, and from there to Monmouth Normal school. VOLUMTEERS WILL DINE Y. M. and Y. W. Association to Meet at Banquet Table at Bungalow. The Student Volunteers will hold a dinner tonight at the Y. W. C. A. build ing. This is one of their regular twice a month meetings.

C. The game will be play ed on the baseball field and is set for one o’clock in order that it may be over before the Frosh-Itook contest. Student body tickets will admit. The line-up given above will start the game but Coach D.vment may make some substitutions before the contest is fin ished. But two of the men have played on an Oregon team before, Campbell and .T. Sheeh.v. Campbell has participated in all four games the University has played and Sheehy was in both of the Multnomah engagements. The team is thus nearly a new one although it con tains only one freshman. The Varsity is fairly evenly balanced but is still far from a perfect combina tion. Jimmy Sheehy and Jay Fox are both experienced players on the forward line. Mach is a clever dribbler and sure shot at goal. Kdlehe- is an old rugby man and a scrappy forward. Nelson never saw a soccer ball before this fall but be learned fast and earned his position by bard work. For outside left it is a toss up between Hartley and Hengstake. One night one will excell the other and the next night it will be just the reverse. Hartley seems to have the edge at pres ent. Hey wood is the strength of the half line. He has the faculty of being where the ball is all the time. W. Sheeh.v and Hedges hold down the other halt's in capable shape. Captain Campbell takes care of left fullback, which has been his position for three years. McDon ald is another newcomer to the game but fits in well with Campbell in the defense. Kennon fills the goal job and generally manages to get a hand or foot in the way of the ball when the gou! is endangered. Although four games have been play ed the team bears the uuiipie distinc (Continued on page four) Mary Alice Hill, Laura Miller and Earl Fleiscfomann * to Star. i FOOTBALL HEROES AND PRETTY GIRLS FEATURE Friday and Saturday Evenings Qiven Over to Play by Guild Players. ;j Martha Beer. If .von want to son an up-and-coming college comedy in four acts with lota of football heroes, college life and pretty girls, do not fail to take in “Strongheart” at Guild hall next Friday and Saturday evenings. The play is strictly modern, and you’ll like its style. If you’re in the least sympathetic, you’ll laugh with Killy and Molly and nearly, if not quite, weep for Strongheart and Dorothy. For, you see, Billy, a senior “by re quest,” played by Ernest Watkins and Molly, his sweetheart, Mary Alice Hill, have lots of humorous joys and sorrows, and both Ernest and Mary Alice know how to “get it over” to us. If you don t believe it, watch Mary Alice cry ami listen to Erny proposing the best menus of refining a dog. Which reminds me, don’t forget that dog,—he’s a musical canine—hence the name, Siegfried, and he’ll be worth see ing. Then there's a whole lot of otiu. fmmy and realistic things which go to make up real lively college life, such as a college tea, a dance, and a football game, and all the impertinences thereunto apper taining, including a self-seekiug villain, Clayton Baldwin. We mustn’t forget that dance in the third act, either, or the girl who has her dancing frock stepped upon, or the trouble which results. East, and not by any means least, there is Laura Miller who plays Dorothy, the sweetheart of Strongheart, the Ind ian football hero, Earl Fleischniann. Miss Miller has never appeared in a college production before, hut she Is there with the goods, and she succeeds admirably in getting her love scenes with Mr. Fleischniann across. Fleischmnnn has a difficult role, by the way. lit1 portrays an educated Indi an who has the fundamental traits and gestures of his tribe, ■ overlaid with a veneer of culture and education. A delicate balance of interpretation must he maintained throughout, and Fleisch mnnn has been studying and rehearsing most acrefully and diligently in order to give an accurate and powerful interpre tation. Charles Trim also plays an Italian role, and ho also has been striving to obtain the Indian spirit in the delineation of the character. Upon his successful interpretation of the voice and action of Black Eagle depends the success or failure of the most tense scene in tha play. But I might ramble on for another column about the play, and the charac ters, and the kind of rehearsals they have been having, and the new stage settings. There’s something else for you to re member, though. Owing to the fact that many people prefer some of the seats which have hitherto been ujireserved to some of the reserved seats, Doctor Bates, director, has made arrangements for a chance in the reserved scat plan. Hereafter the first two rows in front, and the two seats nearest the wall on both sides of the theatre will be unre served, while some of the seats back of the center aisle will be reserved. COUNCIL ATTENDANCE GOOD Only Nin* Members Absent So Far; Committees Meet With Faculty. The student council of the associated students of the University boasts of an unusually good attendance record this year. Altogether there have been only nine absences so far. President Jatireguy attributes this to the fact that a resolution was passed at the beginning of the year stating that, if anyone was absent from the meetings (Continued on page four)
