Punting Is Only Feature in Which
Oregon Shows Skill; Bezdek
Gratified With Team’s Efforts.
Pullman, Wn., Oct. 20—(Special to
Emerald).—After making a brilliant
stand in the first half, Oregon’s light
team fell before the slashing attack of
W. S. C. in the final period and was
defeated this afternoon by a score
of 26 to 3. The score at half time
was 6-0.
Four touchdowns and two goal
kicks represented the Pullman total,
while Bill Steers’ trusty toe enabled
the ’varsity to break into the scoring
column.
Touchdown In Five Minutes.
Bezdek’s charges sprang a surprise
on the Staters by holding them even
ifter the first few minutes of the game.
Williams kicked off to Pullman and
within five minutes, by a series of
punts and short forward passes, W.
S. C. made a touchdown.
The punt-out was dropped and the
score remained 6-0. Bezdek sent in
Cook to replace Hunter. The Pull
man backfield seemed to lose its
punch after the touchdown and the
Oregon line held their own with little
trouble. The ’varsity played a kick
ng game entirely, Bill Steers punt
ng whenever Oregon got possession
nf the ball. His sore foot did not
ippear to bother him much, as his
ricks averaged close to 4"o yards.
Bezdek Pleased.
The ball was in W. S. C. territory
i good part of the second quarter.
Neither team could cross the other’s
ine, and the half ended 6-0.
There .were no features in the first
lalf. Coach Bezdek was greatly elat
ed at his team’s showing, in the face
Df heavy odds.
Both teams opened up some in the
second half. W. S. C. recorded an
other touchdown and kicked goal, run
ning their total up to 13, and Bill
Steers drop-kicked a pretty goal for
Oregon’s only markers. The third
juarter ended with the score 13-3.
The Oregon line weakened under
:he constant pounding in the fourth
luarter and permitted Pullman to
make two additional touchdowns. But
md goal was kicked, making the final
ally 26-3.

The weather is clear and cool, ideal
or a football game. Both the Pull
nan team and the rooters appeared
onfident that they would find little
ipposition in the lemon-yelow.
‘‘Dot” Medley was unable to take
’.is place at right half on account of
lis injured hip, and Hunt was sta
ioned there. It was Hunt’s first time
n a ’varsity game. Otherwise the line
ip was the same that worked out on
vincaid field Wednesday night.
W. S. C. played the same men that
leld the officers’ team to a scoreless
ie last Saturday in Tacoma, with the
single exception of Doane, who re
>laced Glover at left half. Glover tak
ng Gillis’ place at fullback. Dick
danley and Doane were both in pretty
veak shape, the former from a poi
soned foot and the lat.ter from two

STUDENT ATTENDANCE AT DOWNTOWN
DANCE HALLS OPPOSED DY DEAN FOX
Many Oregon Men and Women Dance
to Jazz Band on Rumor that
She Had Approved.
Miss Elizabeth Fox, dean of women,
is definitely opposed, she announced
this morning to student attendance
at downtown dailcehalls. Dean Fox’s
announcement follows the attendance
of a number of students Friday night
at a dance given at the Eugene ar
mory. The students were present at
the dance, it is understood, because
of the circulation of a rumor that
Miss Fox had taken steps in co-opera
tion with the Eugene police depart
ment to remove the more objection
able features of the downtown dances
with a view of making them suitable
for student dancing parties.
“I heartily disapprove of student at
tendance at dances off the campus,”
said Miss Fox, ‘‘and I wish that I could
say that I had the co-operation of the
students. I think that with more stu
dent body dances being given this
year, the University could expect this
co-operation of the students.”
Miss Fox said that as yet she had
not prepared to take any definite ac
tion toward excluding student attend
ance at the dances. The rumor of
her action to make the downtown danc
es safe for students is absolutely with
out foundation, Dean Fox asserts, as
she has not even been at any of the
downtown dance halls this year.
ONE WEEK'S VACATION FOR CHRISTMAS
Three Days at Thanksgiving Closing
Date of College Fixed at
June 17.
The new three-term plan, together
with the late opening date of college,
has made it necessary to alter the
vacation schedule slightly. The Christ
mas holidays have been shortened to
one week instead of two, as in for
mer years. A week between the win
ter and spring terms fias been granted
at Easter time. The closing date is
fixed at June 17.
The schedule is as follows: Thanks
giving Nov. 28 to Dec. 2; Christmas,
Dec. 21 to Jan. 2; Washington’s Birth
day, Feb. 22; Easter, Mar. 22 to Apr.
1; college closes. June 17.
ORDNANCE MEN TO GET EIGHT HOORS
Faculty Decides that Credit Rate is
Same as for Regular Students.
Eight term hours of credit will be
given for the work done by the men
in the ordnance department, according
to a decision reached by the members
of the University faculty on Wednes
day. The men are carrying from 18
to 20 hours of work, and as their j
course lasts for six weeks, half of the
regular term they are receiving the
same rate of credit that other stu
dents are getting.
The reason for the delay in announc
ing credit is that the ordnance course
was not scheduled last spring when
the other credits were decided upon.
21 SHEEPSKINS YET ONCLAIMED BY GRADS
Waiting Diplomas Attributed to Ten
Dollar Fee.
Twenty-one University of Oregon
graduates, two from the 1916 class
and nineteen from the 1917 class, have
gone into the “wide, wide world”'
i without their diplomas. Failure to
claim the much-coveted sheepskins,
which await their owners at Johnson
hall, is attributed bv Secretary L. H.
Johnson to the ten dollar fee charged
! by the business office to cover the cost
of engraving. *
“It is a popular belief.” said Mr.
Johnson, “that after four years of ear
nest endeavor students are eager to
get their diplomas. The twenty-one
certificates of learning left on our
hands would seem to indicate that
some graduates are content without
them.”
No Football Men In Sigma
Nu Chapter
Record of 16 Years is Shattered at
Call of Country.
The Oregon team which met W. S.
C. today at Pullman had no Sigma
Nu’s in the line-up, for the first time
in the history of the Oregon chapter
of the fraternity, which was founded
in 1901.
Last year Sigma Nu had six letter
men on Bezdek’s squad and before
this year was never represented by
less than four out of the eleven men
that played on any of the Oregon
teams. One year nine men on the
team belonged to Sigma Nu. Last
year Sigma Nu players were Johnny
Beckett, Bart Spellman, Lloyd Tegart,
Glen Dudley and Brick Mitchell. They
also had a representative, Morfitt, on
the second team.
Heavy enlistment has taken the Sig
ma Nu football boys from the Oregon
field. So many of the boys responded
to the call to the colors last spring
and this summer that but five men
are this year living at the house. They
are Garnet Green post graduate tak
ing the ordnance course, Charles Com
fort, junior, Hugh Thompson, sopho
more, Flint Johns, sophomore, and
Willard Hollenbeck, a freshman
pledge. Despite the small number of
Sigma Nu men in college the house
will be run as usual this year.

OREGON PLEDGE MINS ERNIE
SENT BROADCAST AMONG STATES
FOR EMULATION.
University Patriotic Food Saving May
Furnish Nation-Wide Example
of Economy.
Nation-wide publicity for the Uni
versity in reference to its food-saving
campaign and general attitude of pa
triotic endeavor, seems asured by a
letter received yesterday morning by
Dean Eric W. Allen, of the School of
Journalism, from Fred Lockley, pub
licity manager for Oregon for the Na
tional Food Administration.
“I just wired,” writes Mr. Lockley,
“students’ pledge, as administered by
Governor Withtycombe to University
of Oregon students to Ben S. Allen,
publicity manager for the United
States Food Conservation movement,
to be wired broadcast to other states
for their encouragement and emula
tion.”
Under the present arrangement of
the publicity work for the movement
there are five centers throughout the
United States where the publicity
matter for the food-saving drive is
prepared and distributed. Portland
has just been named the headquarters
for the Pacific Northwest. With the
advertising that is bound to come from
this move on the part of the Univer
sity, the local efforts to “Hooverize”
will probably be attracting much more
than local attention.
FARM FORMERLY ADJOINED
DEADY HALL ON THE SOUTH
Mrs. Ella Emmons, Ex-’80, Recalls Early Days at University; Only One
Building on Campus then.
Mrs. Ella Emmons, of Beaverton,
Oregon, a delegate to the Oregon Con
gress of Mothers and Parent-Teacher
Circles, which met on the campus yes
terday, was a student in the Univer
sity in 1877, ’78 and ’79, she being
then Miss Ella Grey. She was to have
graduated the following June, but on
account of sickness was unable to fin
ish with her class.
At that time Deady was the only
building on the campus, nor was there
much campus either. On the east and
south sides of Deady was the Cheshire
farm, with the part nearest the cam
pus still in timber. Later, when the
University bought this land, some of
t e trees were saved and we now see
them between “hello lane” and the
boys’ dormitory. Only a narrow strip
of land had been first purchased for
Lhe University buildings, and it
seems so different to come back to
the University as it now is and see
the growth and improvement in the
campus and buildings in the last few
years, observed Mrs. Emmons.
Four In First Class.
Deady was built in 1876, and Mrs.
Emmons saw the first class graduate
in '78. There were only four in this
first clas, and these were Robert Bean,
now state supreme judge and presi
dent of the board of regents of the
University; Ina Condon, one of the
laughters of Professor Condon, who
left the University a valuable geo
logical colection; Sneed Wallis and
Charles Whiteaker, son of the first
governor of Oregon. Ina Condon be
rg the only girl in the class and the
first woman to graduate from the Uni
ersity, was made honorary valedic
torian of her class. Some of the other
tudents in school at that time were
Henry McClure, now editor of a Ta
ronri newspaper; Edgar McClure,
later a professor here; Charles Wooly,
ow a minister; and Miss Liza Boyce.
M ss Mary E. Spiller was in the pre
paratory school. She and Liza Boyce
were sisters and the daughters of a
supreme judge.
Then the basement of Deady was
ot even finished, in the upstairs was
the chapel and the gymnasium. Pro
cessor Condon had his room where
"’•ofessor Sjveetser now has his lec
ture room. Mrs. Emmons in viewing
‘he room, said, “We did not have these
‘mndy arm chairs, we had Just ordi
nary chairs. Every room is changed
beyond recognition.”
Dr. J W. Johnson was the first pres
ent of the University. Only the
B. A. degree was given.
University In 8uburbs.
“The University was out of town
quite a ways, and the nearest build
ings were only shacks and were three
or four blocks from the campus,” said
Mrs. Emmons “when the Sanderson
Theological School, now known as the
Eugene Bible University, was built,
it meant that streets and better walks
would soon come.”
Mrs. Emmons is a native Oregoni
nian, and was born in Linn county in
1860. She entered the University at
the age of 18, after teaching in Baker
county.
One of Mrs. Emmons’ eight sons
was with the American troops in Mex
i ico last year.

Multnomah attempted to get a re
j Turn game with the ’varsity while on
; their trip here last Saturday, but since
the ’varsity’s schedule is filled, the
j freshmen may be substituted. This
game would be played November 10.
In the event the clubmen are unwill
ing to play the frosh, the winning team
of the interscholastic league may be

WOMEN ARE MINE RELI6I00S
UNIVERSITY REPORT SHOWS 166
BOYS WITH NO CREED.
Only Eighty-Six Girls Fall to Indicate
Preference—Presbyterians
Are Strongest.
The theory that women are natur
ally more religious than men receives
encouragement from the reports made
by students on their registration cards.
Eighty-six girls have no church pref
erence, while 166 boys claim no creed.
The only churches which are at
tended by more men students than
women are the Lutheran, named by
four boys and two girls; the Catholic,
the choice of 20 boys and 14 girls,
and the Church of Jesuo Christ, with
five boys and four girls claiming pref
erence. All of the other churches drew
more girls than boys, although all
are not as badly off as the Christian
Science church, which has five boys
in the University and 22 girls.
The most popular church among the
girls is the Presbyterian, which claims
the religious life of 93 girls. The fa
vorites among the boys are the Chris
tian and the Methodist churches, each
of which was named 60 times. The
Presbyterian church is the most pop
ular throughout the student body if
the figures at the Registrar’s office are
taken as an indication.
There is one Mormon, one Moham
medan, one member of the Church of
Zion, and one United Brethren includ
ed in the list. One girl claims affilia
tion with the D. D. S. church, of which
nothing seems to be known here, and
one boy answered the church prefer
ence question with “Presbyterian or
Episcopalian.”
Six hundred fifteen students ex
pressed a preference, while 253 did
not.
UNIVERSITY WOMEN HAVE BIBLE STUDY
Nine Classes Organized on Campus
Under Direction of Y. W. C. A.
Nine Bible study clases have been
formed among the girls upon the cam
pus under the supervision of the Uni
versity Y. W. C. A. Six of the classes
are among existing groups of girls,
which includes sororities and girls’
rooming houses. One class consists
of girls living in Pairmount and is
called the “neighborhood group.”
Two general divisions have been
made, one of upperclass womer^under
the direction of Mis Watson, and one
for freshmen under the direction of
Dean Elizabeth Fox.
Miss Fox will meet all freshman
girls who wish to enter her class a
week from Thursday afternoon at four
o’clock, in the bungalow. She will
Introduce the study of the book, "So
cial Standards for Action.”
The preliminary meeting of the up
perclass division will be held next Mon
day at four, in the bungalow. “The
purpose of so many classes Is this,”
said Jessie Garner, head of the Y. W.
C. A. Bible study committee, "we want
to make It poslble for every girl in
the University to belong to a group
interested in organized Bible study.”
DEMOCRACY DEPENDS
SOLELY ON EDUDATION
PRESIDENT CAMPBELL ADDRESS
ES DELEGATES TO MOTHERS’
CONGRESS ON PATRI
OTISM.
HOOIERIZED LUNCHEON IS SERVED
Classes Are Visited by Several Hun
dred Delegates to Conference
Several hundred delegates to the
Oregon Congress of Mothers and Par
ent-Teacher Associations were the
guests of the University yesterday
during the late forenoon and after
noon. A program of songs, led by
John Stark Evans, of the School of
Music, in Villard hall, visits to the 11
o’clock classes, and a “food saving”
luncheon served in Friendly hall, made
up the morning program.
President P. L. Campbell, of the Uni
versity, was the first speaker on the
afternoon program given in Villard
hall following the luncheon on the Uni
versity campus. He outlined the work
being done by the University in pro
moting the interests of the state and
aiding in the present struggle for*
world democracy.
"Knowledge and intelligence are the
only things that can make democracy
safe in any country,” said President
Campbell. “And the unprecedented
response of our young men to the call
to the colors is in itself a splendid
vindication of the American educa
tional system. It was magnificent—
this response of democracy to an ideal.
In six weeks’ time we were changed
from a sympathetic nation into a na
tion of fighters.”
The President urged the mothers
not to be disheartened because of the
demand for eighteen million dollars
In the liberty bond campaign, saying
that it amounted to only the value of
one year’s crop oft the American
Tins and did not mean bankruptcy
in any sense.
Camp Life Splendid .
“The men who have responded to
the call to the colors in the Northwest
are of the highest type and conse
quently those of you who have sons
at Camp Lewis should feel no fear
for your sons,” declared President
Campbell in further dispelling fears
of mothers that their sons’ morals
would be lowered as a result of camp
life. “Asociation with the high type
of Americans .who are now at the
camp and under the direction of the
government is fully as safe as civil
me.
'The boys at Camp Lewis are really
benefiting themselves during their stay
at the camp by helpful reading and
study. This University and others
along the coast have offered extension
■ouiv.es to the boys in military life,
although they be stationed outside of
the state, and the boys have already
" r„i j good response. The life is
healthy, and With the care that has
been taken to secure moral conditions,
deal.”
Support of Women Urged,
Mrs. 1. M. Walker, vice-president of
the Oregon Mothers’ Congress, fol
lowed President Campbell on the list
of speakers. She told of the work of
the Woman’s legislative committee at
the last session of. the legislature at
Salem and urged close support by the
women of the state for the interest
of “the children, the women, and fair
play.” Co-operation and representa
tives from the W. C. T. U. and Parent
Teacher associations throughout the
state, as well as other woman organi
zations of Oregon, was suggested.
J. A. Churchill,''state superintendent
of schools, further commended the
work of the women’s legislative com
mittee in his address before the meet
ing. He declared that as a direct re
sult of the committee’s work, 10,000
Oregon boys and girls in the country
districts were this year enjoying two
months additional school training over
previous years. • .
Liberty Depends on Education.
“This increase in the efficiency of
the state educational system is partic
ularly important at 'this time,” con
tinued Mr. Churchill. “For liberty de
pends directly upon education and
without it democracy must fail. Edu
cation guards against corruption from
within as well as from forces from
without.
“In education facilities, Oregon
