VOL. 19_EUGENE, OREGON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1917 NO. 4 BEZDEK WANES MEM; OFFEHS CHANCE IG fill EVERYONE WEIGHING OVER 140 EXPECTED OUT. ONLY 20 RECRUITS ON FIELD THUS FAR , SHY HUNTINGTON NOT TO COME BACK Doubtful It' a Single Old Letter Man Will Appear This Season—Re cruits Show Snap With the first week ol1 football prac tice history, Coach Hugo Bezdek turned his attention last night to sig nal practice and to working out plays for the Multnomah game, now but four days distant. In one short week, the coach has drilled the rudiments of the game into the twenty-odd inex perienced but willing players who have volunteered to work for the lemon yellow. Scrimmage was held for the first time Saturday afternoon before a good-sized crowd of fans. The ses sion developed one fact—that Oregon will be represented by a scrappy team. The ’varsity fought like tigers all through the 60-minute period. Three times touchdowns were recorded against the second team in two 15-min ute quarters. “Chief” Wilson ac counted for two of the markers, and Bill Steers plunged across for the other. Bill also executed a brace of perfect drop-kicks, one from the 30 yard line. Frosh Are Stubborn. The frosh offered more stubborn re sistance and even managed to score when Perkins scooped up a fumbled hall and raced over the line. One touchdown and a drop-kick—both by Bill Steers—finished the scoring for the afternoon. The ’varsity appeared to better ad vantage on defense than when they had the ball. Time and again Bas Wil liams or Arthur Berg would break up plays before they got to the line. Lit tle yardage was gained around the ’varsity ends, and more often Ander son or Wilson would nail his man for a loss. The work of the backfield was rather ragged, and much fumbling was done. Steers’ Punting Is Good. For the most part, only plays of the simplest order were attempted. Only two forward passes succeeded, and the same number were intercepted. Bill Steers’ punting was up to his usual standard. Hope that Shy Huntington might return was shattered yesterday, when definite word was received from the premier quarterback that under no condition would he be able to come back. Pete Jensen’s case remains in (Continued on page 4.) CAN’T ARREST DR. SUN YAT SEN, ASSERTS OREGON CHINESE STUDENT Tao Sun Says His Chief is Too Strong to be Haled Into Court; Not Worried Over Situation. The publication of a dispatch from Pekin, China, announcing that Presi dent Kwo-chang has ordered the ar rest and punishment of Dr. Sun Yat Sen carries no fear to Tao Sun for his pocket book. “They can’t do that,” said Sun when shown the dispatch. “Once they at tempted to punish Dr. Sun Yat Sen and the rulers lost control to him. Again they tried to arrest him, but the ruler lost his life. Dr. Sun Yat Sen is in control of southern China and is too strong a man to be haled into court by Kwo-chang. “1 think that my expense money to continue at the University will keep coming right along until I finish my course in political economy next fall. Then I will go back and help Dr. Sun Yat Sen.—He is a good man for ClilT na.” Sun came to the University this fall to complete his education before returning to China. He has been studying for nine years in Japan and in America at the direction of Dr. Sun Yat Sen. DRILL STILL LACKS TRAINER ANSWER NOT HERE FROM UEU TENANT-COLONEL LEADER. Rushed Ccrdition cv British War Of fice Thought to be Cause of Delay. Selection of an officer to conduct military drill at the University is as yet undecided. President Campbell is still attempting to obtain Lieutenant Colonel John Leader, of the British army, a veteran of three wars and of many campaigns in the present war. No word has been received from the British war office as to whether Lieu tenant-Colonel Leader can be detailed here. Colonel Leader himself is anx ious to come and the delay is proba bly due to the fact that the war of fice is rushed with more important matters. A cable was sent yesterday for a definite answer, but several days must elapse before an answer can be re ceived, on account of the difficulty in sending cablegrams to England at this time. In case of Colonel Leader’s inability to come, President Campbell has sev eral capable American and Canadian, officers in mind for the position.

DEAN WALKER'S FRESHMAN ELEVEN IS ROUNDING RAPICLY INTO F RM Players Working Harder than Ever; Schedule Soon to be Announced by Manager Tiffany. With the signing of Dean Walker as coach of tho freshman football | eleven, things begin to look brighter in the “frosh” camp and the prospect of a winning team looks less like a dream with every practice. Walker is always ready and willing to work, and he makes the fellows believe they have the only real team in the state. It is hUrdly possible that a team equal to the one last year can be turned out, but from watching them at practice it seems that there is more real work and less “slutting” on the job than for several seasons. The “frosh” line looks good, and while the bacfield is somewhat slow, this can be remedied in time. The backfield is light and will have to de velop a great deal of speed to hold its own against the gang from O. A. C. According to Graduate Manager Tif fany, the proposed freshman schedule will be one of the stiffest the “frosh” have enjoyed for several years. As several of the dates are still hanging fire, Tiffany was loathe to give out the schedule at this early date, but prom ised to release it in time for the next Emerald. “Bill” Hayward has little to say in favor of the infant eleven, summing up his whole opinion in “the rotten est bunch of football players I have ever seen.” Despite the unkind words of “Bill,” Walker says he will produce a team that will “knock ’em dead.” GLASSES AGE STARTED IN EXTENSION FIELD LARGE ATTENDANCE AT OPENING IN PORTLAND AUGURS WELL FOR DEPARTMENT THIS YEAR SCHEDULE OF COURSES IS ANNOUNCED Many Professors Will Give Work Away from Campus During Coming Semester.

A new type of training for national ervice is being offered by the Univer sity this fall in a course given by the psychology department, designed to prepare students for the psychological examination of enlisted men. The course will train students to sci entifically determine the fitness of men for the various special lines of ar my service, such as aviation, gunnery, or clerical work. The instruction is being given by the University under the direction of Surgeon General Gor gas, and according to Dr. Edmund S.

DRAMA GLASSES MAY ENTERTAIN SOLDIEI PROFESSOR REDDIE PLANS TO TAKE CASTS TO VANCOUVER, FORT STEVENS AND CAMP LEWIS Rehearsals Begun for “The Strag gler”—Reddle and J. F. Thorne Authors of Plays. Entertainment for enlisted men at Vancouver, Fort Stevens, and possibly Camp Lewis, near Tacoma, is likely to be the main object of the outside trips to be taken by University stu dents of dramatics this year. Tentative plans have been made for a trip to Portland and Vancouver for the latter part of October or the first of November, and Professor Reddie is considering a second trip to show Uni versity plays at Portland, Vancouver, Astoria, Fort Stevens and Seaside. The latter trip, if succesfully arranged, will be taken during Thanksgiving va cation. “Like Falling Leaves,” one of the best modem examples of the Ital ian problem play, has been selected for presentation on the campus No vember 22 and 23, and will bo used on the proposed trip Thanksgiving va cation. While arrangements have not yet been completed for tbo first, trip to Portland, it is practically certain that casts for three one-act plays will make the trip about November 1. Tn case the trip is made, it is prohable, accor ding to Professor Reddie, that an af ternoon matinee will be given at the Little Theater in Portland and an ev ening performance at the barracks at Vancouver, where several thousand soldiers are stationed. Of the three plays which will be pre sented on the campus, October 25 and 26, and later on the trip to Portland and Vancouver, "The Friend of tylan” was written by J. Frederick Thorne, and “Sayonara,” a Japanese play, the name of which means “If it must be so,” was written by Professor Reddie several ..years ago. The third play, “The Straggler," is based on events of the Napoleonic wars. Rehearsals for it began Monday.

NEW HOME FOR SPANISH GLASSES IS MADE IN EDUCATION BUILDING Room in Commerce Building Found Inadequate; Prof. J. Harthan De Fell Begins Extension Classes.

Harthan DeFell, tlie ciuarters originally assigned for these classes in the Oompnerce building iiave been found Inadequate and arrangements iiave been made to accommodate them in tho new Education building.
