Oregon Emerald VOL. 20. EUGENE, OREGON, THURSDAY EVENING, OCT. 31, 1918. NO. 12. Cageball, Volleyball, Soccer and Bayoneting Ar^ Offered. FOOTBAlL rivalry keen IN COMPANIES A AND B 8, L. Riley and William Vance To Coach Kicking Game. Eddie O’Connell, director of intra fliural athletics, is fast rounding his pro gram into shape and is getting the men started on their various athletic en deavors. In speaking of the proposed program for athletics O’Connell said yesterday that he hoped by the first of next week to have every man in the S. A. T. C.. who is not excused by the ser vice, out and taking some active part in she athletic program. Cageball, volleyball, soccer and bay oneting have started and while the squads are small O'Connell thinks that by Monday things will be organized and running smoothly. The work of the di rector of athletics and his assistants, whom he has appointed to take charge of the various sports, has been held up by ihe fact that the companies have boon slow in choosing their leaders. Both companies A and B have elected then men no wand they will probably meet with O'Connell. Bill Hayward and cer tain of the military authorities and draw up a list of the inter-company meets. Rivalry Eagerly Fostered. O’Connell is especially anxious to got a good rivalry fostered between company A and B that will net show itself in witty remarks only but will take some definite form on the athletic field. “Bill” Hay ward will be in charge of basketball and head of the physical training department. “Bill” expects to start basketball as soon as the men are moved to the new barracks. Hayward will also probably supervise the work of the long distance runners who arp turning out in fairly good shape. In the soccer field the work will be in charge of R. L. Riley assisted by Wil liam Vance, Y. M. C. A. secretary, who has entered into the athletic program of the University in grand style. O’Con nell himself will probably take charge of cageball, at least for the present and he will also watch the work of the fel lows on the volleyball court. Swimming, boxing, wrestling and fencing are some of the branches of athletic work that O’Connell has announced he will give. 57 Varieties of Sports. O'Connell does not know just when he is going to find time to coach and in struct all of the 57 varieties of sports that he is offering but he hopes to find enough men around school who are more or less acquainted with one branch of the work and will act as leaders in this branch. Inter-company football will -be started a week from Friday and will probably be the first inter-company activity. Three games will be played, one each week, and Varsity men will be barred. This ivill be followed by other inter-company air*»fs in the other lines. Soccer will probably be well enough along within the O'-xt two weeks ro allow inter-company ft ntests. O’Connell’s plan is to match men in these events who are .if about equal abil ity. In this way a man who is just an average athlete will be placed against a man of equal ability and not be made to compete with some star. The points of a meet will be so graded that these events will count something for the win ner and give every one an interest. The big thing that O’Connell is after now is to get everyone interested and everyone rut so that the prog-arr. may be started. As soon as the men get into condition they will have a chance to take part in inter-company games or meets, but they have to come out and get started first. DR. REBEC IN RED CROSS WORK. Dr. George Rebec. resident director of thp University extensi n work in Port ami. has been made general director of :be work that the R d Cross is conduct ing during the pros'nt Spatvsh influenza epidemic. During this cpid inic the Hod ~ross is doing considerable work towards ^ orsventine a spread of the disease. Eddie Durno Loses to Strange Wrestler Who's Pretty Good J It was a dark and gloomy night on the battlefield. Shells were bursting over head; the craek of the machine guns and the explosion of giant crackers were i heard occasionally. Star shells and rock ets iit up the space between the trenches. In the muddy trenches themselves, was great excitement. Battle-scarred veter ans watched the fighting with well-as sumed indifference. Nervous rookies were tense with agitation. The battle raged. No Man's Land was filled with patrol parties, each one try ing to keep out of the way of the others. Brave men and true ventured far from their own lines, in the hope of tagging one of the enemy and running back to safety before they could be tagged back. The hour neared midnight, and the crisis of the battle approached. Among the valiant heroes of one of the sides, was Eddie Dnrno, wrestler, weight 135 pounds. Eddie had fought gloriously for his country, and was out for the last time.to do or die. Suddenly, a dark form raised in his path and grap pled with him. Bound and round they struggled. Deeper and deeper into the mud, they rolled. A new trench was started where they grappled. But Eddie had at last met his match. Slowly he was forced over, until the judges declared him captured. He was heartbroken. ‘•Gee!” he snid. “I’m afraid that you’re a better man than I am. Who are you, anyhow?” The other smiled. It was none other than Eddie O’Connell, new director of athletics, and one of the foremost wrest lers in the world. ,T.C. Inspecting Officer Has Warm Words Both for Men and Commandant. Alma D. Katz, civilian aide to the Ad jutant-Genenl of the United States, was high in his praise of the Oregon State Officers’ Training (lamp of the Uni versity of Oregon and of Colonel Leader, while hero yesterday, inspecting the camp and passing on applications to the central officers’ training camps. “This is one of tin* finest, camps and the finest bunch of men I lave found yet :n my lonnds of inspecting. In fact, it is an all round fine place. I consider the training given in this camp is the best iii the state and and rank the camp as me of the test on the Pacific coast,” said Mr. Kit'. “Also the University is exceptionally fortunate in having a man at the head of their O. T. C. such as Colonel Lead er. He is the best man that could be found for tbe place. He is a man that puts pep, punch and go into everything he does.” The military work at the University of Oregon has done more to bring :he col lege into prominence and favor than any thing else of recent date, is the opinion of Mr. Katz. He advises all men plan ning to enter a central officers’ train ing camp to take this or similay work first. In that way they will be of ser vice both to the government and to themselves. Mr. Katz was accompanied by his aides, C. F. Adams, Oscar Overheck and Max X. Hirscli. all of Portland, who with him make up the Selection Board. T\hile here they passed only on the ap plieations to the artillery school of the central officers' training camps. How ever he left application blanks for the qu.artermnst ra engim ering and chemical schools win!' here to be passed on later. The board spent Tuesday evening and Wednesday at the University and were guests of Colonel Leader at the sham battle on Tuesday night. HGYT TAKES 5 EMERALDS Freshman to Send Four to Oregon Men in France. ‘•Here. take this S5.00 and send the Emerald to four Oregon men in Franee.” was the generous response made b.v W il bur II. Hoyt the first day of the sub scription drive. lie is a freshman, but his Oregon Spirit can't be beaten. Hoyt subscribed to the Emerald for himself a month ago. Machine Gun Company Springs Surprise: Dynamite Acids Realism to Fight. Tanks were introduced for the first time on the University of Oregon cam pus when the machine gun company sent over two ‘‘armored” tractors during the O. T. C. trench "battle” in Xo Man's Land on Tuesday evening. Even aside from this spectacular and startling departure, the battle was ex citing to the participants and interest ing otthe spectators. Lieutenant-Colonel John Leader declines to say winch side was the victor. Tne south trenches were occupied by Companies A, C and E, while B. 1) and the machine gun men occupied those at the north. About -50 men were engaged in tin* battle. The machine gun company created n sensation when they sent over then tanks. Tractors had been covered with tin and stove pipe cannons protruded irom which rockets were fired. The south trench men were too surprised for a minute to act, but soon tipped a tank over and captured its drivers. Company A Well Organized. Company A was well organized in then attacks. The fighting resembled a free l'or-all mis or a wrestling match. Com pany A worked in pairs and had men to gether who knew each other. Thus, they were always able to outnumber the other man in a scrap and never made the mis take of attacking their own man. It was in this manner that they were able to take 14 prisoners at one time in one of the scouting party fights. One hundred and twenty-five dollars worth of sky rockets and ammunition were used in putting on the battle. The dynamite was set off by an electric cur rent and the sky rockets were shot low to resemble shells. One stray roc-ket found its target when it hit Col. Leader, doubling him up for awhile. Kaiser Blown Up. Early in the evening, about 7 o’clock, a mine in which the kaiser had been placed, was blown up, shaking the earth for several blocks around. Captain C. T. Haas commanded the northerners, and the south trenches were in command of I.t. H. (1. Chickering. All of the other staff officers were used as referees. Few accidents occurred, none of them in the least dangerous. Harold Grey re ceived a slight scratch on the aim when Will Rebec shot off a gun with fake ammunition, too near to Grey. The battle ended at 1 o’clock, two hours early, because the heavy shooting bothered one of the men ill with the Spanish influenza at the Phi Delta Theta infirmary. COLLIER SENDS HUN GUN; Lieutenant, Oregon Graduate. Gives i Brothor Captured Automatic. Lieutenant Alfred I). Collier, Oregon graduate, member of Reta Theta 1’i fra ternity. has sent his brother, I*. >1. Col lier, as a trophy from France, a Luger ! automatic revolver captured from a tier- J man officer at the front. Lieutenant Collier, whose home is in I Salem, graduated fi»>m the ITni%'rsity in 1914. He is now with Company B, Ilq. 110 Engineers, and has been to the front six times. Ilis brother, who re ceived the revolver a week ago, is vis iting on the campus today, and has the trophy with him. ROSWELL DOSCH BETTER Recovering From Pneumonia After An Attack of Influenza. Lieutenant Itoswell Dosch, who has be*en ill for the last two weeks at his home in Portland, suffering from pneu monia. which followed after an attack of influenza at Reed college, is resting easy with definite hopes of recovery. News of Mr. Dosch’s improvement was received by A. II. Lawrence, dean of the School of Architecture yesterday. Lieu tenant Dosch was an instructor in draw ing and modeling at the University last year. This summer he went to the train ing camp at Presidio, where he received ! a commission as second lieutenant and was assigned to Reed college at Port land as personnel officer. It was there he was first taken down with influenza. R. L. Riley, S. A. T. C. Member, Old Player, Considered Great Find. R. Ij. Riley, a member of the t'. A. T. C. and a soccer player of wide ex perience, lias been selected to coach soccer and will handle this work under Eddie O’Connell, director of intra-mural athletics. Riley is a former member of the Royal Plying Corps nnd played a great deal of soccer while in training near Ontario, Canada. Riley has also played on the Crescent Athletic club of Denver and in the Em pire league of St. Louis. While in train ing Riley had an opportunity to play with and against some of the best soccer men on this side of the Atlantic. He was an aircraft gunner and saw a year of active duty under the Union Jack. Eddie O’Conneii and Graduate Man ager “Shy” Huntington are both pleased with obtaining such an aide coach nnd are sure that the work in this depart ment will go forward with leaps and bounds. Inter-platoon soccer and at least inter- company games are a possibility within a week or so. It is possible that a game will he arranged with the O. A. C. at Corvallis. The Aggies are report ed to have gone rabid over soccer and have eight, or nine teams out every night. O'Connell considers soccer to be one of the best conditioners in the athletic field and will push the game here. A fair-sized squad was out last, night and more are expected before the end of the week. There are several men who have had more soccer experience who are not out. Riley wants not only the old men who have had experience but. any new and green talent that would like to be come acquainted with the ancient Scot tish pastime. GYM CLASSES TO BEGIN Women's Work Delayed by S. A. T. C. Use of Building. “Gymnasium classes for women will begin Monday morning,” stated Miss Cummings, head of tills department, yes terday. So far tile men of the S. A. T. C. have been occupying the women’s gymnasium building, but as the new barracks have been completed the men will be housed there. As there have been no classes held, except those for majors in this work, it. was urged that every woman student try and hike some definite place each day. Tuesday evening the members of (lie Athletic Association hiked to Hen dricks park and a not lunch was served ( the girls. SANFORD SICHEL, 20, DEAD Influenza Takes Its Fourth Victim Among S. A. T. C. Men. Another death due to the epidemic of Spanish influenza occurred at -1 ./dock yesterday afternoon, when Sanford Sichel. -0 years old, a member of the freshman class died at the Fiji infirm ary. lie took si.-k with influenza ten I days ago, pneumonia setting in four days I ago. His is the fourth death among the ! S. A- T- C. men. Sichel was the son of Mr. and Mrs, Emanuel Sichel who resided at 4‘i Ellis street, Portland. His father is a cigar dealer of that city. After graduating from the Lincoln high school in Febru ary, 1015, he spent three years working in the. clothing store of his uncle, Ben Selling, in Portland. His mother was here at the time of his death. TUG OF WAR ON SATURDAY - I 0. T. C. and S. A. T. C. Men Will Test Their Strength. A tug of war between the O. T. C. men and the S. A. T. C. men will be held on Kincaid field next Saturday, fifteen of the men on the S. A. T. team will be chosen from each company. This is one time that Company “A-’ and -‘It” will show a little co-operation. All the heavyweights will he chosen soon. Both of the S. A. T- C- companies are showing good spirit and are hacking up the team*. Fwo Frosh Demand Personal Inspection From Colonel Bowen Somr people are born green, some ac quire greenness, while some have green ness thrust upon them. It is doubtful to which class two members of the fresh man class belong, but it is certain that it ,s one \f those three. Since Noah swam the flood, it has been i favorite trick to have the "rookies" go in search of the key to the parade ground, or to have them attempt to dig up the adjutant’s post, or to inquire for the officer of the night. These old-timers nave been worked here with great suc rose. Another favorite triek is to have [he “rook” search the camp for a set af "blank files,” a blank file being a va cant space in drill formations. Another time-honored custom, also tried here, is to have r new man report to headquarters for his issue of shoe lolish. Many of the freshmen, and, sad o tell, other undergraduates, have bitten m that one. One man, even greener than :he nsunt»variety. requested his issue of inker chips and dice from one of the of licors. But this tale has to do with two freshmen, both fresh from the soil. Kat irday evening, one of these fresh receiv 'd a ’phone call from n “lieutenant,” in structing him to report to Colonel Bow 'll immediately for his personal inspec tion. Dutifully, the freshman donned his green cap, and hied himself to (lie Col ■nel's homo. The Colonel was not at Inline, and bis daughter was much sur lrised at the freshman’s request for an immediate personal inspection. She final salvod the problem by referring hint to his company commander. In the meantime, the second freshman had also received his instructions to liport. and lie was following close behind the first. According to the accepted rmuor, which should bo taken with a grain of salt, the lieutenant to whom the fresh men next appeared, saw the joke and started hint on the rounds of the other officers. One tiling, however, is certain. Both of the finish have been complaining if sore feet since they started out in search of the personal inspecting offi cer, and both of them blush when asked ibout personal inspection. BY RED TRIANGLE Campus Gets $2,100 More From National Organiza tion Than Drive Asks. The now V. M. C. A. lint now under ■onstruetion west of the librnry is bo ng pnid for from the funds of the na ionnl Young Mens’ Christian Associu iou war budget- ’I'bis means that the organization of the red triangle is put ing on the campus $2,100 more than the i’nited War Drive is asking from the rumpus for all six of the organizations ■•'presented in the drive, of which the Y. M. ('. A■ is only one. Thu University of Oregon is expected o give $(i,000 for war work during the veek of the drive November 11 to is and irfore this is even subscribed the ‘‘Y" ms appropriated $S,717, and was stationed on the mother ship of submarines, at Bridge-1 port, Connecticut. He has been in France, and has made three trips overseas on the F. S. S. Manchuria, a transport. Ensign lleppen beinier is expected to he here for the three months’ course. He will assist in the training and instruction in seaman ship and ordnance, and expects one or two assistants from Bremerton in u. few days. CM EMERALD MOPE Till QUOTA Committee’s Latest Reports Show Oversubscription of at Least 25. RETURNS STILL COMING IN, SAYS ELLSWORTH Success Gives Largest Circula tion and Firmest Finan cial Basis. Success in the Oregon Emerald sub* scription campaign has given the paper the largest campus circulation it has ever had. Estimates, made late this af ternoon with only a partial accounting possible because mil receipt books will not be in before 0 o’clock tonight, were that the 400 goal set for the campaign had been over-subscribed by at least 25 and possibly 50 subscriptions. The Emerald now has a paid circula tion of 860, taking into account the 425 new subscribers, the 200 paid campus circulation and the 175 outside subscrip tions previous to the drive. With the additional funds provided by a 25-eent; increase in the subscription price, The Emerald is easily on its firmest finan cial basis provided advertising continues at normal after the influenza quaran tine is lifted. The Emerald circulation last year was in the neighborhood of 500. Emerald committees, consisting of 55 prominent men and women on the cam pus, began the work early yesterday morning i,n the determination to save the Emerald by reaching the 400 sub scription mark. The Emerald booth used 'as headquar ters through yesterday and today waa moved into its location in front of tha library steps shortly before eight, and the campus committee began its work which was conspicuously successful. A bulletin announcing that the Delta Delta Delta woman’s fraternity hud sub scribed 200 per cent was the first placed on the special bulletin hoard of the cam paign. Every member of the local chap ter had subscribed the night before in addition to the fifteen already taken by the fraternity. The extra subscriptions will he sent to parents. “The Nnv.v hns gone over the top 100 per ootn efficient, was the announcement contained in the bulletin posted at 10 o’clock when the report of Abraham Ros enhurg, Clyde Henninger, Margaret Mansfield and Myrtle lloss was made. Every officer stationed at the T'ni versity with the S. A. T. <'. subscribed when an enthusiastic solicitor made a hasty trip between 1) and 10 o’clock yes terday morning. “Friendly hall, room one, is 110 effi cient” and “Friendly hall, third floor is 100 per cent” were first among a long list of bulletins posted ns the various groups announced they had completed their work. At noon every man in the mess lines of the S. A. T. ('. was wearing the “I have subscribed” cards except one whose subscription was made early this morn ing. Several of the (>, T. C. men although practically through their work here, sub scribed at noon. The drive was practically over by noon yesterday so complete had been the work of The Emerald committees and the co-operation of the student body, \ speech planned by Dean Morton, an enthusiastic hacker of The Emerald iu the drive, took the nature of a commen dation to the student body when he noted that all but one of his hearers among the assembled companies on the drill grounds was wearing the subscrip tion tag. Harris Ellsworth will be able by Sat urday to give complete figures on the campaign and the work done by the va rious Emerald committees. . CAMPUS POLICE TO BE NAMED 1'ecntise S. A. T. ('. men have Leon found outside the campus boundaries without passes, the military authorities have decided to appoint military police men, in order to enforce the military rules. Starting next Saturday two men will bo stationed at places outside the campus boundaries and will have full authority as military police to arrest, those transgressing the rules.
