f STATE TMAUAH DEBATING CONTEST $n BT 0. A c. Reed College to Decide Defini-! tely On Plans at Student Body Meetii^g Thursday With a contract already signed with the Oregon Agricultural col lege and a favorable report from Reed college, the plans for the state tri angular debate to be held December 12 are pretty well complete. Abe Rosenberg, who has just returned as Oregon’s debate representative to O. A. C. and Reed, said that there was not the slightest doubt but that Reed would come in. Rosenberg ex pects to hear from Reed either today or tomorrow as an emergency stu dent body meeting will be held today to decide definitely on forensic de bate, and especially as to how it will be financed by the student body. Rosenberg said that while at O. A. C. he encountered a little diffi culty in securing their signature to a tri-college debate, but nevertheless he succeeded in getting a contract. «This will not be the first time that Reed college has debated outside of college, a number of contests having been held with the University of Washington. A number of Reed men have signi fied their intention of entering the tryoiits. Freshmen, with less than three months’ attendance at college, are barred by the terms of the con tract, but this will not apply to Reed, since the college opened in the mid dle of September. CRUSHES IDAHOANS OREGON’S MACHINE (Continued from page 1) in for Steers and was later replaced by “Skeet.” Captain Brandenberg got into the struggle for a short time taking Chapman’s place. Mautz re placed Berg, and Bartlett went to tackle and Anderson to end in the second half. Other games of interest to the Ore gon followers that took place Satur day were the 47 to 6 defeat that the Aggies handed the Pacific univer-1 sity, the 35 to 0 win that the Uni- ^ versity of Washington scored over i the sailors from the U. S. S. New York and the 49 to 0 whitewashing that Washington State college hand ed the Multnomah club eleven. O. A. C. presented a strong line up against the Pacific university team at Corvallis, but most of the regulars made way for members of the sec ond squad early. The Aggies were much heavier and they had little trouble in penetrating the opposi tion’s line. W. S. C. had little trouble with the Winged M team. They had several old stars in the game, among them the two Hanleys. Welch used a number of second string men dur ing the game. Washington Line Strong The University of Washington’s line was one of the greatest factors in their win over the New York team. Walcott Roberts, at one time a choice for the all-American, while he was playing for Annapolis, worked as one of the halves f6r the sailors. A number of Oregon students will journey to O. A. C. this week-end to see the Aggie-Stanford contest, which will be the feature of the Corvallis homecoming. Stanford has three men on its roster from Portland in Pret olt, former Lincoln high school back field man, who played under Borleske with Ralph Smith and a number of others now on the campus. Lyman Bonney, former Jefferson star, and Floyd Campbell are the other Port land men. Other Oregon men on the squad are Robert F. Pelouse of Medford, Dale J. Butts, Newberg, J. Kenneth Lilly, Ashland, and Wesley A. Seaman, Marshfield. The Women’s league is planning a tea for Saturday afternoon from 3 to 5 at the Y. M. C. A.

This meeting was held during the noon hour on Mon day, Oct. 13, in the men’s rest room Clinton Thienes, president of the freshman class last year, called the meeting to order and presided until a permanent chairman was elected. Practically every man in the fresh man class was in attendance. The meeting was characterised by the businesslike way in which it was con ducted and the consideration given the questions* up for discussion. It was short and snappy and shows that those taking part knew what was wanted and the most effective means of obtaining it. Four candidates were nominated for president, Jack Askey, Harold Tregilgas, “Sandy” Leonard and Kent Wilson. The race between Askey and Wilson was very close, Wilson win ning by a margin of four votes. As key was unanimously elected vice president. Leonard was chosen as sergeant-at-arms with Solomon Weil as his assistant. Three men were nominated for secretary-treasurer — Clarence Ogle, McCarthy and Will Rebac. Ogle was elected, leading his nearest compet itor by six votes. Enthusiasm for Homecoming Very much enthusiasm was shown when the subject of Oregon’s home coming and the Oregon-O.A.C. foot ball game were mentioned. When it was asked that all those expecting to “home gather” rise, fully 25 res ponded. A committee was appointed to make a survey of the situation, see what faculty obstacles must be over come, and what co-operation could be expected from the other classes. The matter of furnishing the men’s room was discussed and a committee consisting of Mr. Holcomb, Dwight Wilson and Joe Bell, was appointed to confer with the assistant dean in that regard. A committee with Jack Askey as chairman was appointed to meet with similar committees from other classes for the purpose of outlining definite : plans for a junior annual. M. E. Wilson, Ned Fowler and Harold Tre gilgas were placed on a committee to consult with committees from other classes to organize a student body! organization. They will also take j care of the freshman end of the home coming plans. During the balloting for president the matter of proper Emerald backing by the medical school students was presented by the local representative of the Emerald. Sophomore Crass Meeting The first meeting for the year for the sophomore class was called to order by its president, Mr. Clinton Thienes, on Wednesday morning,' October 15. The main purpose of the meeting as outlined by Mr. Thienes, was to form a definite policy which the class would sponsor in regard to a student body organization, and also concern ing the publication of a Junior An nual. A permanent committee con sisting of Jack Montague, Grace Young and Albert Morrison was ap pointed to gather sophomore material and co-operate with similar commit tees from the other classes. No definite ideas were developed concerning the particular form of the Annual, some wishing a section in the "Oregana” with reprints from that if separate books were wanted; others wanted a separate publication entirely. The former idea seemed to predominate because of the co-oper ative spirit it showed to the Univer sity and also because it appeared a more economical method. It was thought that a school with such a Many Men of Many Minds Many Hats of Many Kinds ALL KNOX Ours is a well rounded out hat stock. The right hat on the right man is our Imotto |and to live up to it we have planned carefully. It isn’t every hat stock that can do this.

Belk nap, Montgomery and Padden to meet with a committee from the freshman class and jointly present to the of fice the need of the men’s room for more furnishings. Mr. Thienes, president of the class, is a scholarship man and is also as sisting Dr. W. F. Allen in histology and embryology, having charge of one of the freshman sections.

STILL A BOOK SHORTAGE Orders May Not Be Filled for Months Is Word From New York Owing to the great shortage of text books this fall many classes are working under difficulty—and will be for some time to come, according to H. R. Taylor, proprietor of the Uni versity book store, who says It is impossible to get the books now. He has received word from the New York firms stating that many of his orders cannot be filled at present owing to the pressmen’s strike there This means that some of the classes may have to go the entire term without books. Sophitocated Soph Claims Speeding is Sport,—Sometimes Speeding backwards in a Stutz roadster is lots of fun while it lasts, according to “Al” Adams, sopho more from Silverton, but he claims $15 Is a little too high for such a short joy ride as he had last Thurs day morning. After helping to give the team a good sendoff Al loaded his car up and started off but was pursued by a swarm of wouldbe passengers. En deavoring to leave them behind, he crawfished down the street at a breakneck rate. It was not until Friday morning that he received his sentence from the police judge. Since it was near the end of the month, Al spent the week-end at his home. He had to get those 15 bucks.
