appear to have the edge. McCready and
t'ate, each of whom will make a strong
bid for the Varsity, are stationed at the
forward positions. Alexander and Jay
Fox are slated for guards and probably
Parley for center. Bob Atkinson came
out the other night and displayed such
spectacular form that he may occupy the
pivotal position.
The seniors have a team of ‘’old hands”

with the honors. Jack Elliott and
Frank Scaiefe, forwards, Loren Rob
erts, center and Scoop Rathbun and
“Boo” Sims, guards is the way the fourth
year men line up.

WHAT! IS CAESAR DEAD?
* * * #
DOG LANGUISHES IN JAIL
* * #- £
KAPPA SIGS BAIL HIM OUT
The Kappa Sigs were wroth. They
were exceedingly wroth. Someone had
murdered- Caesar. At least that was the
message received over the phone yes
terday, arousing the brothers to instant
action.
Caesar had been missing for about a
week. This was not unusual. He was
often missing except at meal time. No
one thought anything about it until yes
terday when a feminine voice over the
phone said that he was dead. A child
had teased Caesar. The royal soul of
the dog had rebelled and he had re
taliated with a sharp nip. A cruel police
man had shot him.
There was an indignation meeting
around the fireplace and threats were
made against the offending cop. When
lo! he appeared and made haste to ex
plain.
Caesar had bitten the child. But
he had not been shot. Instead he had
>een arrested and had languished all night
in a darksome cell.
“We gotta bail the* little runt out,”
said Karl Bronaugh, and it was done.
The policeman departed wondering at
the way of men and richer by one cigar.
Peace settled down , over the Kappa
Sigma house.

students in touch with one another. The

WOMEN’S PLACE ON CAMPUS
Is Topic of Discussion at Tuesday Meet
ing of Eutaxian Literary Society.
The Eutazian literary society met
Tuesday evening in Prof. Schafer’s
room in the library, where it plans to
meet during the cold weather. Several
new members were taken in after which
a p'ogram was given.
The first number was a ukulele duet
by Margaret Rogers and Jessie Garner.
A discussion of “Woman’s place
on the Oregon Campus’’ followed. Mary
Alice Ilill gave a brief resume of wo
man’s plaee in the world's work to show
the relative position Oregon lias with
respect to other colleges and the world.
To supplement this Mary Johns reported
a few interviews witli different Univer
sity departments concerning the relative
standings of men and women in classes.
According to her. Dr Gilbert and Prof.
Jackson both say that women do bet
ter work than men in their classes, but
this they think is due to the fact that
the majority of their students are men
and only women specially gifted enter
these classes. Dr. Schmidt said women
are better students. “Women have a
more highly developed sense of duty,”
he declared.
The library could make no estimate of
which sex took out the greater number
of books. It is thought men do less
reading than women but their reading
is of deeper books. Women at present
have higher standings than men in
scholastic work. ,
The conclusion drawn was that there
is a remarkable equality on the campus
intellectually and socially.
PROF. REDDIE MAY RETURN
Rumor Circulating on Campus That In
structor Will Be Back.
A rumor circulating on the campus to
day says that I’rof. A. F. Iteddie will
be back to resume his work in the Uni
versity as head of the department of dra
matic interpretation next semester.
When asked for verification of the
report K. W. Onthank, secretary to the
president, said he could give no positive
information. lie admitted there would
be a “possibility” of the executive com
mittee of the Board of Itegents taking
the matter up in their meeting tonight
and the committee would probably act
upon the recommendation of President
Campbell. It is understood Prof. Iteddie
is willing to give up his lyceum work
and resume his work at the University.

WHEW PUY
IS WELL RECEIVED
“Magic of Oz” Is Played Last
Night in Guild Hall to
Large Audience.
C. Bnnfield.
Old and young alike were afforded a
delightful treat last night in witnessing
the “Magic of Oz,” written by Rosalind
Bates, presented in Guild hall. The
play was a clever arrangement of some
nine of the Oz stories by Frank Lyman
Baum, so well known to almost every
child.
Dorothy Gale, “just a little girl” who
would do no harm for “anything in the
world." was portrayed by Leta Rhodes
with childish simplicity and sweetness.
Her pet cat. Eureka, a character
created almost entirely by Mrs. Bates
was cleverly handled by Oleome Carroll.,
Miss Mamie Gillette as Mombie the
witch was truly wicked, used a vocabu
lary of reproachful names found no
where but among such terrible creatures.
Scraps, the patch-woik girl, played
by Martha Beer, was altogether what her
name signifies—both in clothes and
brains—and afforded much amusement.
Harriet l’olhemus as the Scarecrow,
was a fantastic figure—all that the
name implies, while Victor Setter in the
Cowardly Lion was admirable.
Professor II. M. Wogglebug, T. E. was
well handled by Clayton Baldwin. Mr.
Baldwin was consistent throughout his
role.
Uubids, King of the Nomcs, was most
extravagently portrayed by Charles
Prim. Mr. y.rim has the tendency to
over characterize, which often protrudes
noticeably and did last night even in
this unusual character of the Nome King.
The Tick-Tock man, “the most per
fect mechanical man in existence, guar
anteed for 2fX)0 years,” was Jay Gore.
Air. Uores interpretation was very
praise worthy and added one of the
very distiinct “wonder-land” touches to
the entire production.
The Wizard of Oz—“the Great and
Terrible”—did not prove to be at all ter
rible but a mere person who had fallen
into the land of Oz from a parachute.
With the exception of the last act the
play went through with snap anil spirit
but the ending was somewhat weak.
Young women under the direction of
Miss Goldsmith added greatly to the
charm of the play. No less a treat
was the music by the University orches
tra. under the direction of Miss For
bes.
The production as a whole was
given under the direction of Or. and Mrs.
Kates and Mrs. Shaefer and Miss Itosa
mond Shaw ably assisted with the cos
tumes, which were adecpmte and attrac
tive.

OREGANA STAFF MEETS
125-Page Feature Section Is Planned by
Adrienne Epping, Feature Editor.
At a meeting last week of the
Oregnna staff, plans for the year’s is
sue were discussed and new features
planned. •>
“The hook is to he full of new pictures
—new campus pictures—original snap
shots, and with the help of Jimmie
Vance, Adrienne Epping is planning to
make the feature division one of the
largest that has ever been put out by
any junior classes’’ said Emma Wootten,
editor-in-chief. “We are planning on
running about 1 pages of features
alone. No old ideas will he allowed to
DeWitt Gilbert and lOcl Harwood are
working out a lot of good stuff that
might be classed as student activities.
Their department will take up such acti
vities as Commencement, Junior week
end, underclass mix and Berkeley rally,
and all such.
Cress Maddoek is in charge of the ad
vertising, with Chuck Hundore and Kd
Harwood as assistants.
He is soliciting merchants and business
houses of both Portland and Eugene. In
this capacity Miss 'Wootton asks any stu
dents who live in the smaller towns of
the state who can and will secure ads,
to do so—that will help. “The Ore
gano goes all over the state,” she said,
“and no one who is not in Eugene or in
Portland or in the districts which are
not directly associated with them, will be
backward about putting in a little adver
tisement, for it will help them more than
any of the local papers or publications
could.
“Have you seen any rubber soled
camera artists sneaking around the cam
pus and snapping everyone at rundinpV”
she continued, “Well, don’t be alarmed
for it is only the staff protographer of
the Oregana who is out after material.
If he comes up to you and wants your
picture in the negative he carries, let him
have it it is for the Oregana and you
will not be alone in your glory.”
“Annonncemerfts will be made very
soon of dates for the taking of fraternity
and class pictures.” The next meeting
of the staff will take place on Tuesday
evening, December lb, at 7 o’clock.

Squad,Accompanied by Coaches
and Rooters, Begins Journey
West Friday.
Dope Seems Unfavorable to
Oregon; Bets Everywhere
Favor Southern Team.
Hiding in tho second “Golden Special”
from the intellectual East to the be
nighted West, the Pennsylvania squad,
accompanied by coaches and rooters, be
gins its journey next Ftrida.v. Only
nine men out of the eleven own motor
cars. At Cornell they could only raise
$5000 between them to bet on the game.
Fancy their smiles of amused tolerance
at the idea of an Oregon “mule skinner”
being able to play football.
Crossing the continent in a luxurious
special train equipped with every con
venience including shower baths and sci
entifically cooked food, these fine gentle
men will have every care taken for their
well-being. No doubt it would be “rather
interesting, you know” to see a football
star who has made his living working in
a mine.
At Pennsylvania a few days ago prac
tice was called tiff because it was raining,
a report to a Western paper says. It
must be terrible to drive a bakery wagon
in an Oregon town.
Did one of these Eastern gentlemen
ever wash windows or stoke a furnace;
vide with eow-punchers or sweat with
lumberjacksV Oh my, no!
Accompanying the squad of 24 men are
four coaches and trainers including Dr.
M. Wharton, diet specialist, and 100
students probably part of the crowd
that bet $25,000 on the Cornell game—
and won.
will entertain the entire crowd during
their sojourn.
A special dispatch to the Los Angeles
Times says the l’enn boys do not take
the game vvitli Oregon too seriously.
Coach Folwell says they are' to have no
scrimmage before the game.
At Albuquerque, X. \L, a great Christ
mas tree is to be prepared for them
which, the report says, is to be "pack
ed with presents.” There is to be a
Christmas dinner, too, with half-a-dozen
turkeys, and a table “laden with dain
ties.”
Dope seems very unfavorable to Ore
gon. Coach Andy Smith, California’*
$12,000 mentor, says Oregon is going to
get ‘‘one awful walloping.” Senti..
in the Golden Gate city is anything but
favorable. Bets are running 7 to 15 on
Pennsylvania. One three-to-one wager
has it Penn will whale Oregon .‘10 points.
In our own state Roseoe Fawcett, fig
uring through Notre Dame, favors Pen
nsylvania from 10 to 14 points.
Oregon is fighting the whole country.
Super-man Howard Berry, All-East
ern—und according to some critics, All
American fullback, for a tilin' was bland
ly indifferent about the Pasadena game.
But after some contemplation of back
work which the faculty seemed desirous
of having done before lie go, the great
star consented to come out and play
against Oregon.
John M. Scott, general passenger agent
for tin* Southern Pacific says the gUfne
on New Year’s day will lie a great ad
vertisemen. for Oregon. Presumably he
means a good advertisement.
But there are good and bad advertise
ments.
Well?
