PULLMAN LOOKS LIKE ' BEST TEAM THIS YEAH O O. A. C. IS DARK HORSE OF LEAGUE; COACH PIPAL SAYS HE DOESN’T KNOW WHAT HIS MEN CAN DO. VALLET COLLEGE STARS JOIN AGGIES Whitman, Washington California and Oregon Elevens All Short of Experienced Men. Witli the opening of the Northwest Conference next Saturday, the football “sharks” are attempting to dope out just what chances thd various col leges have, and who is most likely to carry off the honors of the year. Prom the dope sheet, the Washington State College, under the leadership of Lone star Dietz, looks the strongest. How ever, they were weak in team work, and made several costly fumbles in their game with the officers from Camp Lewis last Saturday. Dietz has six of his last year’s letter men back, yet for a squad of veterans they did some very loose thinking in their first game. Tubby Selph Back. O. A. C. looks to be the dark horse of the league; even Coacli Pipal ad mits that he himself does not know just what liis team is capable of do ing. Captain "Quack” Newman has returned to schofil from American Lake, where he was connected with the army Y. M. C. A., and his pres ence will greatly help the Oregon Ag gies’ backlleld. Others of the last year’s squad wlio have returned are Tubby Selpli, last year’s center, and Bissett, last year’s captain. Pipal will have Hatrry Cole out for the line, as Cole tips the beam at sometliing over 200 and was last year awarded tLie third place in the nation al strengtli tost, wlilcli included all stu dents of colleges or universities in the United States. Howard Ray, for mer 'varsity basketball star, will be on hand and will try for one of the end positions. Several stars from the smaller valley colleges have enrolled at O. A. C. and will help to build up tlio Aggio squad. r Whitman to Play U. of W. Coach “Nig” Borleskie, of Whitman college, has so far had very little to say relative to the chances that the Missionaries have in the conference^ but it is understood that several of the last year’s squad have returned and a fast but light team is expected. Gensel, one of Borleskie’s hopefuls, was badly hurt in practice last week, and so will be out for the season. Gensel played quarter last year. Blom quist, last year’s half, will not be back, regardless of previous announcements. Whitman opens against the Universi ty of Washington, at Seattle, next Sat urday. Hunt Is Confident. The University of Washington, like the rest of the northwest colleges, has been hard hit by the war, but Claude J. Hunt, their new coach, seems to have a world of confidence in the raw material which is turning out in large numbers. Coach Smith, of the University of California, has had, besides the Job of teaching the squad football, several arguments relative to dates of games and expense money. Several of the California boys have been caught in the second draft which will weaken the team to a great extent. Coach Smith has started night practice and is using the “ghost” ball and is hav ing regular classes in football. Although the Oregon team looked somewhat green when they went on the field against Multnomah last Sat urday, they proved that they had plen ty of fight to make up for what foot ball they did not know. Dr. W. D. Smith, head of the de part j.ent of geology in the University, will leave Friday or Saturday for Berkeley, Cal., to atend a meeting of the Pacific coast section of the na tional research council, of which Dr. Smith is a member. MIX IS POSTPONED Owing to the absence of the foot ball team at Pullman and the stu dent body dance Saturday, the an nual Y. W.-Y. M. C. A. mix and (lance has been postponed until a week from Friday. The commit tees are taking advantage of the extra time granted to work on the features of the dance. The exact program is being withheld until a later date. .2. STUDENTS GIVE PLEDGE TO STATE AND NATION (Concluded from page 2.) pick out the false from the truth,” said Dr. Wise. “A sheepskin is a delightful thing to hang on the wall, but it is merely a license to achieve greater things. The man who expects to say good bye to his development after lie lias left the university has no right to attend the school now,” he said. It is his opinion that the pleasure seeking attitude which for merly impelled many students to at tend the University has now been supplanted by a sturdy energy to achieve a better education. “Not that the students are possessed with a long-faced piety,” he rejoined, “but they now realize the University is a place to accomplish other things than pleasure alone.” Governor Reads Pledge. President James Sheehy, of the As sociated students, introduced Gover nor Withycombe. His talk was a clear, forceful stateement of the de .sire of the students to do everything posible to aid in the present ques tions which the war has brought up in the United States. He told of the patriotism shown by Oregon in being the first state in the Union to raise its full quota of men for military ser vice; first in the subscription to the Liberty bond movement, and the im mediate answer made by Oregon wo men to the plea of the Red Cross. He ended with the words: “These are sig nificant facts and reflect great credit to the executive of the state. I am pleased to introduce Governor Withy combe, the man at the head of Ore gon’s machinery.” Governor Withycombe told, in a few words, he great showing of patriotism of University men in answering the call for military service, and urged the students who have returned to school to make the most of their op portunity. He made a strong plea for support of the second Liberty loan. He said that this second liberty loan is one way by which the Kaisei will determine the real sentiment ol the citizens of the United States ir regard to the war. “We are no longei republicans or democrats, we are not proud residents of the East, the West the North or the South, but we arc all Americans—one unit, one banc Who Will Win the Big Box of Meltaway Chocolates To the student who writes the best ad vertisement for our Meltaway Chocolates we will give one large box as a prize RULES OF THE CONTEST 1.

He read the sixth annual pledge of the students to the state and the follow-; ing pledge to the nation: Pledge to Nation. And to my country, in this, her time of need, I pledge my loyalty absolute ly, and all the service of which I am capable. If she calls me I will will ingly take up arms to defend her upon the field of battle. If my field of duty shall continue to be behind the lines, I pledgel myself to do all in my power to strengthen my country in her great fight to make the world safe for democracy; to so govern my con duct as to encourage and unify my fellow citizens in the cause; to sup port the government to the utmost with all my posessions if necessary; to deny myself all unnecessary luxu ries or indulgences in the foods and supplies necessary to the support of our armies and our allies, and to try to show my patriotism not by protes tations but by actual service and sac rifice in the conduct of my daily life.” | Mrs. G. W. McMath Speaks. j Mrs. George McMath, president of the Oregon Congres of Mothers and Parent-Teacher associations, made an appeal to the students to remember their parents—the individuals who made the University posible and who kept their pledges so well that the present University education is now open to the students of the state. Rev. A. L. Crim led the devotional exercises. Other features of the morn ing were music by the band and the combined glee clubs. DEMAND FOB TEACHERS MET; j -- DIFFICULT TO FILL ALL CALLS, SAYS DR. SHELDON. Those Trained in Singing, Dramatics and High School Debating Especially Wanted. The unusual demand for teachers this year, due to war conditions, has been fairly well met, thinks Dr. H. D. Sheldon, dean of the School of Edu cation of the University of Oregon. : He feels that there is no great scarc ity in the number of teachers, espe cially in the high schools, he said yes terday, but there has been difficulty in filling all demands for teachers trained in certain special subjects, such as Spanish, commerce and sci ence. Practically all the University grad uates of the class of 1917 were located j by September 1, which is earlier than usual. “The increased demand for teachers,” said Dr. Sheldon “is due to ; appointments in the army and the requirement of a. number of civilians ! in the quartermaster’s department, j which have been filled by former ! teachers.” i The demand is strongest this year for teachers of science, particularly i physics and chemistry for teachers ■ of commerce and Spanish. There is ; some tendency, explained Dr. Sheldon, j to fill men’s positions with women. This is noticeable in the teaching of science, in which usually only men were engaged, and in the filling of principalships and superintendencies by women this year. The demand for Spanish teachers, Dr. Sheldon described as extreme. The University could have placed twenty five teachers of Spanish, but there were only two or three who were at all competent to teach. There has been a considerable falling off in the demand for German teachers, but this , is not as marked as Dr. Sheldon had ! expected. There were approximately half as many German teachers en gaged this year as compared with the previous year. There was an increased demand for French teachers, but it i did not approach the demand for Span i ish teachers. ! “There is more and more demand for University graduates who have had training in social activities,” said Dr. ; Sheldon. "It is desirable that those planning to teach, prepare to coach high school debating, singing, or dra matics. There is an added incentive in the fact that those competent to coach high school activities receive ten or fifteen dollars a month more than those not qualified to do so.” Whatever scarcity there may be in a few high schools of the state will be met by married women who are college graduates, thinks Dr. Sheldon. The scarcity will be more marked, he feels, in the elementary schools, where the pay is not so good. FRIARS ELECT Ray Couch. Harry Crain..
