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. If ends Wilson and Stan

TIFFANY BOARDS SLEEPER
# * * *
TRAIN FAILS TO CONNECT
« * # #
WAKES UP STILL IN EUGENE
Mr. Tiffany went to Portland last
week to arrange for the Oregon-W. 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.

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

people in the organization here and they
are all members of either the Y. W. C.
A. and the Y. M. C. A. The members
include Dean Elizabeth Fox and J. D.
Foster, the Y. M. C. A. secretary.
This organization is made up of col
lege students all over the United States
and Canada, who are planning to do for
eign Christian service.
Since December, 1915, 0,490 students
from different colleges in the United
States have left for some foreign field.
There have been just as many, if not
more, from Canada.
Some of the fields that have been as
signed to these young people are: Africa,
China, India, Burma, and Ceylon; Japan
and Korea; Batin and Greek countries
of Europe; .Mexico; Persia; Philippine
Islands; Siam; Laos and Straits Settle
ments; South America; and the Turkish
Empire.
CONKLIN GOES TO PORTLAND.
Dr. E. S. Conklin, professor of phy
chology left for Portland this morning
where he will meet with other members
of the Governor’s commission which is
investigating the schools for delinquents
at Salem.
From there he will go to Salem where
he will address the teachers at the State
school for the deaf. Part of the time
also will be sp<r. working on th* in
vestigations he is making of the metho is

After two months practice the soccer
team will make its debut Saturday
against O. A. 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

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
