HEW AMEIC FIELD
Graduate - Manager Tiffany
Plans That Student Body Se
cure Funds to Build.
UNIVERSITY ALREADY
OWNS IDEAL LOCATION
Board of Regents Believed to
Be Favorable to Plan;
Money Only Drawback.
Flans for a new athletic field will be
presented to the students in the near
future by Graduate-Manager A. R. Tif
fany. The letters received from mem
bers of the alnmni and published in the
Emerald criticizing the University for the
condition of the field on November 4
has been the main factor in bringing this
matter to the attention of the athletic
heads.
Mr. Tiffany was asked if there was
going to be anything done in reply to
these letters. “We knew all that be
fore,” he answered, “but the University
hasn’t the money. Just as soon as we
can get hold of the money we will have a
new athletic field.”
“The University already owns 35 acres
of land which was purchased for a field
and money is the only thing that keeps
the work back. The land lies just east
of the cemetery and is ideal for an
athletic field.”
Mr. Tiffany’s plan is for the student
body to borrow enough money to build
an athletic field and to pay the interest
and the principal out of the receipts of
the games. “Until some estimate of the
probable cost can be obtained from an
engineer,” said Mr. Tiffany, “it would
be impossible to gay as to the amount of
money needed to build a new field. How
ever, the money lost last year on the
present field would pay the interest on
$110,000 to say nothing of the increased
drawing capacity of a new and more com
fortable field. Covered grandstands are
reeded, but it would be a waste of money
to put any permanent improvements on
the present field.
The board of regents is-believed to be
in favor of a new field and as soon as
the money is obtainable the contract will
be let.
FLAX SPINNING IS SHOWN
Classes in Art Appreciation Study Spin
ning and Weaving of Flax.
Among the accomplishments of a col
lege girl will be that of spinning and
weaving flax, if she takes Allen Eaton's
course in art appreciation.
A demonstration of this spinning of
the Oregon grown flax was given in the
art room of the Architecture building
Saturday afternoon to the townspeople
and students. The work was done by
Miss Esther Swanson, a native of
Sweden. Miss Swanson also showed
several articles which she had woven
in Sweden. These articles, together
with samples of flax in its various con
ditions, are still to be seen in the art
room.
“The demonstration on Saturday,”
“aid Mr. Eaton, “ was made for the lipne

GRODIN VISITS DE COU
Now Selling Machinery for American
Firms; May Go Back to Russia.
Irvin M. Gordin. University of Oregon
1910, recently visited Professor E. E.
DeCou, head of the mathematics depart
ment of the University, and his various
faculty and student friends. Grodin is a
Russian-German-Jew from the province
of Kourland, Russia, who came to Ore
gon after attending the University of
Dorpat. At the time of his entrance
here he could speak very little English,
but now he speaks German, Russian,
English, and several of the various dia
lects of the Baltic provinces of Russia,
according to Professor DeCou.
Grodin went to the University of Chi
cago in 1912 for graduate work in com
merce, and then entered the mercantile
business in Redding, California, with his
brother. Shortly after, he entered the
employ of the International Harvester
company to be trained to handle the
travelling business for the company in
his home provinces in Russia. He sold
threshing machines for that company and
J. I. Case & Co., in the Canadian North
west for his training. The people he
dealt 'with were the foreign speaking
element of the territory he covered.
Grodin is now on his way to Cali
fornia to visit relatives in San Francis
co. He is trying to decide whether he
will go into business for himself or accept
the offer of employment by the Interna
tional Harvester company which he has
received recently. Grodlin told Pro
fessor DeCou that some of his fondest
memories are of his student days at the
Univeristy of Oregon.

SMlHIi TO
SING HERLNOV. 23
Will Be Brought to Eugene Un
der Direction of Phil
harmonic Society.
Critics Say Much Rest Has
Given Her Voice New Bril
liance and Force.
Gladys Wilkins.
There are two things which Madame
Ernestine Sehumann-Heink, who will
sing in Eugene, November 211, invariably
does upon her arrival in a concert town.
The first is to rest; the second is to
inquire where the best moving picture
house is. Who less human than s,he
could be a movie fan? Yet she is—ad
mittedly so. It is an infallible rule of
hers to sing but three concerts a week,
and devote the other time, when she
isn’t traveling, to rest. Such a schedule
leaves her many unoccupied hours, and
her favorite way of spending them is in a
good moving picture theatre. That, like
her great lovi> for children, is one of the
things which makes Sehumann-Heink
seem so approachable, so unaffected and
human, and which makes her so greatly
loved.
Sehumann-Heink’s engagement here
November 211, is one of but eight in the
whole northwest, and the only one signed
in any Oregon town outside of Portland.
For the last three or four years she has
r rested, singing only a little. The Ore
gonian, whole-hearted in its praise of her
Portland concert, says that her voice
shows the effect of the rest, which has
given it new brilliance and force, and
seems refreshed. Press notices every
where say she is singing better than
for years.
Schumann-Henk is 5o years old, and is
the mother of eight children; she is also
the grandmother of nine. She has
homes in California, Florida and New
York. Now she is about to buy an
orchard-land home near Medford, won
over by the beauties of Oregon climate
and scenery,
Madame Sehumann-Heink comes here
under the direction of the Philhormonic
society of which Mrs. Daise Beckett
Middleton is president. In spite of the
fact that she is an honorary m-rnber
of Mu Phi Epsilon national musical
sorority, they will not entertain for her,
since she does not w!sh it.
Miss Elizabeth Fox, in speaking of the
rare treat which the contralto’s visit
offers, said: “Every man and woman in
college should make an effort to beat
Sehumann-Heink. it viil lie money well
spent, in an educational way.
“Eastern college men and women
have a chance to hear much opera, and
consider it a part of their legitimate
expense budget. Since the opportunity
comes so rarely out here it should be
seized.”
Schumann-Heink’s program here will
be the same as in Portland. It fol

LOOKS GOOD TO HIMSELF
# * * *
MAN WRITES, ASKS FOR JOB
# « « «
OPEN FOR MARRIAGE, TOO
There is nothing like having n good
opinion of one’s self. Some people have
one opinion and some have another, but
by far the best that has come before the
notice of the administration office of
the University is the opinion of a man
who writes to the business mannger and
puts himself forward in no uncertain
terms as to his true worth.
The letter, from Chicago, is a circular
written with the evident idea of can
vassing the country for a job. Part fol
lows:
‘T write you in the hopes of being able
to fit into your organization, especially
if you are in need of a competent man.
"I have alw ys been a great reader,
including trade literature and student
affairs. I will also say that I have nl
ways succeeded in attracting business
wherever I have been.”
Here follows the greatest blow of the
whole “epistle,” for it seems that the
man is boosting himself in more than one
way. He evidently wants to find an
opening in the matrimonial line for he
says:
“I am of middle age and unmarried,
and at the present looking for the right
opportunity, ready to make a move at
any time.”
GAMES MAY BE CONTESTED
On Account of Parsons' Participation
Oregon May Lose Decision.
The games in which Johnny Parsons
played this year may be contested, states
Prof. H. C\ Howe, but even if the
charges of ineligibility are decided
against the University, little harm will
be done, thinks Prof. Howe, as every
one knows what the scores for the vari
ous games were, and the fact will re
main that Oregon was the victor in all
but the tie game with Washington. Ac
cording to Prof. Howe, Coach Gilmore
Dobie may claim the championship again
and his claim may be recognized.
The controversy is at rest now and
nothing will be done until possibly in
December at the meeting of the 1'aciifc
Coast Conference committee when a new
advisory board will be elected. The Par
sons question may be discussed there.
Just before the game with the Univer
sity of Washington, Parsons was de
clared eligible and ns a result played in
that game, ltoth the Washington State
College and the University of California
accepted him as eligible and he took
part as a result of their acceptance in
the games with those institutions. Fin
ally a decision was made against him and
as a result of that decision he wiy
not participate in the game with O. A.
C. on Saturday.
3ENEFIEL IS RECOVERING
Freshman Left Guard Received Frac
tured Ankle In Oregon-O. A. C. Game.
.Tack Benefiel, left guard for the Ore
gon freshmen, who received a fractured
ankle during the first qunrter of the
Oregon-O. A. C. game Saturday is, at
last reports, doing nicely at the Eugene
hospital.
Benefiel’s left ankle was fractured in
two places and owing to the swollen con
dition of the injury it may be several days
before physicians will be able to set the
bones in their proper places. Benefiel
will be able to walk in about six weeks
but the member may be so weakened that
he will he out of football next year.
TO OPEN JUNIOR LIBRARY
Miss Dorothy Wheeler Librarian; 400
Books on Shelves; Expect More.
On Monday when the education depart
ment moves into the new building, the
Junior high school library occupying the
north-east corner of the building will be
opened.
This library will be under direct super
vision of the University library. Miss
Dorothy Wheeler will act as librarian.
There are now about 400 books in the
library, specially adopted to the needs
of children. They consist of works on
English literature, history and geography.
In addition. Dean Sheldon, the principal,
hopes to have 050 within the next month,
many of which will be scientific works.
OREGON WILL M
pei Jon
Bezdek’s Eleven Selected as
Strongest Team in
the West.
GAME WILL COME JAN. 1
IN CHRISTMAS VACATION
Adverse Faculty Action Is Only
Possible Bar to Great
Contest.
The Oregon football team was se
looted last, night to play the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania eleven at Pasadena
or. New Year's day, January 1st, by the
football committee of the Tournament
of Rosea Association at Pasadena.
The athletic authorities of the Uni
versity of Oregon hnd accepted pre
viously an invitation to play the Penn
sylvania team t “if selected” by the
Tournament of Roses committees, which
extended on October 17 tentative invi
tations to five Pacific coast university
and college elevens to meet the east
ern aggregation.
A telegram received in Pasadena last
night, from Philadelphia stated the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania would play no
other football game in the west than
the one arranged for. in Pasadena on
New Year's day. The Pennsylvania play
ers will start west December 22, and will
arrive in Pasadena December 27.
As the selection of teams is based on
the merits of the western teams, ns
the committee understands them, bal
ing the decision on the records in the
1010 season, it feels the strongest
western team has been chosen.
Hopes are held in Pasadena that a
big delegation from Oregon will ac
company the team from Oregon to the
wonderful Tournament of Roses pngent.
Washington’s poor showing against
California prnctienlly eliminated Do
bie's team from consideration.
The only obstacle to playing the post
season would be adverse action by the
faculty, which must sanction the game.
It is not believed that there are any ob
jections to this game, as it comes dur
ing the Christmas holidays.
To date the Oregon eleven has piled
up exactly 17(1 points to her opponents’
17 in five games played, but two touch
downs being registered against her, and
these both by the California University
eleven early in the season. The strong
University of Washington did not score,
and Washington State College, the team
that easily defeated Brown University
at Pasudena park last year, neared the
goal close enough only to make a 40
yard place kick.
TEAM BACK TO GRIND.
Jimmy Shoehy
After a week of comparative ease
characterized by light scrimmage practice
and signal drill, the Varsity has settled
down to its annual taak of preparing for
the Oregon Aggies.
Bezdek, playing true to form, has re
sted his charges ever since they mauled
Lonestar IMetz’s eleven on Multnomah
field some 10 days ago. It was a much
enjoyed vacation that the boys had—
their first letup in the long grind which
started the middle of September.
That’ the lull in the daily routine
stunts had accomplished its purpose was
evidenced by the manner in which the
lemon-yellow took to its work in last
night’s session. Bez shooed the frosh
in early in reward of their stellnr defense
against the Aggie rooks—hied two full
squads back of Kincaid and toiled past
the supper hour in signal practice and
formations.
John l’arson’s ineligibility makes nec
essary the switching of Captain Beckett
from his old stand on the line to the
buckfield niche. Bas Williams is work
ing in Beckett’s place and is due to
start the game at left tackle with Glen
Dudley ready to step into the fray at a
moment’s notice.
Fandom is already speculating as fo
the feasibility of moving Johnny • from
sentinel duty at left tackle-—a post that
he has held down for three years as no
other conference lineman has. However,
Beckett’s two year’s experience at right
half on the championship Washington
high team of a few years ago, coupled
with his familiarity in handling the ball.
