«===* Oregon Emerald NO. 15 VOL. 21 EUGENE, OREGON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1919 COLONEL LEADER TO BE SPEAKER AT SPECIAL ARMISTICE ASSEMBLY Former Commandant to Come if Possible, is Word From Portland STUDENTS TO CELEBRATE Co-operation to be Given in Parade and Demonstration to be Held Downtown Colonel John Leader has been in vited to be the speaker at the Uni versity Armistice Day assembly .Tues day morning at 9:30 o’clock in Yil lard hall. Colonel Leader, who is in Portland, will come if previous en gagements do not prevent. The assembly at 9:30 will be pure ly patriotic. Besides Colonel Lead er’s address patriotic hymns will be sung and probably a patriotic selec tion will be given by the University choir. All University students and faculty members are expected to be present at the assembly and the people of Eugene are invited to be present. Festivities Begin at 9:30 No other celebration on the campus has been planned for the morning of November 11 by the committee in charge. The first part of the day will be one of rest, as there will be no classes all day, but beginning at ‘'9:30 o’clock everyone is expected to participate, say members of the com mittee, who feel sure that patriotism will compel every student to be on hand for the assembly and other events. An effort has been made by down town committees to get city author ities to lift the ban on noise, so that every possible din-making device can be brought into play as was done last year. The report of the down town committee shows that a parade of University and high school stu dents is expected in the morning when many townspeople will be on the streets. Nothing has been done in regard to this matter by the com mittee. Parade in Afternoon The big patriotic parade will be held in the afternoon at 1 o’clock, the line of march extending through the shopping district. The American Legion, the G. A. R. and the United Spanish War veterans will be the leading figures in the parade. The parade will be followed by public exercises of a patriotic nature at the armory. E. S. Rolfe of Eugene will preside, and a committee is working to obtain speakers who will make patriotic addresses. Two of the speakers will be Supreme Justice L. T. Harris and Robert Kuykendall, who was a lieutenant in the army in France and who graduated from the University in 1913. The next feature of the day will be the football game on Kincaid field between Franklin high school of Portland and Eugene high school. In the evening there is to be a dance in the armory. GRADUATES WILL MEET Friday Gathering at Bungalow to Con sider Permanent Organization --Following up the tentative plans made at the dinner given by Dean Young two weeks ago, the graduate students will meet at the Y. W. C. A. bungalow Friday evening at 7:30 to perfect the organization of a gra duate club. A constitution provid ing the necessary machinery and setting forth the aims of the group has been prepared by Victor Morris, ’15, Mrs. Annette H. Vaughan, ’19, and Melvin Solve, ’18. This will be submitted for discussion and adop tion at the meeting Friday evening. Some food will be served, it is said, iwth a little drink to wet the throats of the speakers. All gradu ates are urged to attend. Everybody Out! There will be a big rally to morrow morning at 6:30 to give the Varisty a big send-off before it leaves for Portland. Every body will be in front of the li brary at 6:30 in rooters’ caps and a smile. Bring your voices with you. Let’s show the team that we are all behind them. Whether or not you are going to Portland, be on hand when the train leaves. Senior Lip Shades to Cease Sprouting Before Big Game Tlie senior moustache race has been called off because of rain. Of ficial orders have gone out from the supreme authorities that all lip shades are to be shaved off. There are two reasons given for the command. The most important is that the price of hair encourager is at such an exorbitant scale that it keeps the last year men finan cially embarrassed to have a suffi cient quantity on hand. The second reason is that the University officials don’t want the moustaches viewed in Portland on Saturday as being representative of the campus ability. A third, but never mentioned rea son, is the fact that several of the seniors have had difficulty in re moving soup and tobacco stains from the newly- sprouted sprigs. The story is told of one dignified senior who attempted to clean his with gasoline> and later incautiously lighted a cigarette with disastrous results. As the class was unable to decide upon judges, the winner of the race will have to go down into history unnamed. Thus, the fur-lined bath tub and the solid-ice shaving mug, which were offered as first, and booby prizes, must go begging for a home. It is rumored, however, that some of the senior co-eds have al ready succeeded in securing posses sion of these articles. FACULTY MEMBERS TAKE UP ATHLETICS NEWLY ORGANIZED CLUB TO BE FACTOR IN CAMPUS SPORTS Wednesday evening saw the first turnout at the gym of the Faculty Athletic club which has been organ ized under the direction of Prof. E. E. DeCouj chairman of the intra mural sports committee, and which will hereafter take an active part in campus athletic activities. Prof. DeCou promises some excellent ma terial for basketball, tennis, golf, In door baseball, handball and possibly water polo, to be developed from the array of former college stars and members of varsity teams. Basketball material is rather doubt ful yet although the plan to put a team in the doughnut league will be carried out. Tennis is where the fa culty will shine with two former var sity players, Professors Prescott and Lewis Bond, along with two other stars who have demonstrated their ability, Professors S. B. Warner and Thos. Larremore. The mtinstay of the golf team will be Professor Prescott, reputed to be the champion golf stick artist of Eugene. Another formidable man for the faculty is Dr. W. D. Smith> a member of the University of Wiscon sin track team in his college days. This is by no means a - complete list of the faculty stars but just a few of the best and goes to show that faculty teams will have to be rec koned with from now on in campus athletics. “Bill” Hayward will take charge of the raining work.

It is expected that a good freshman stunt will be put on by both colleges before the kick-off. AGGIE STUDENT PREXY OUTLINES CONVENTION PLANS AT ASSEMBLY Problems of Financing Volun teer Movement taken up by Speakers A mighty roar of applause greeted Wililam Teutsch, first O. A. C. stu rent body president to address a University of Oregon assembly, when he stepped forward following Stan ford Anderson’s itroduction at as sembly this morning. Teutsch ad dressed the assembly on the problem now faced by both Oregon and O. A. C., financing their quota of delegates to the Des Moines convention of the student volunteer world movement. The cause is one, Teutsch said, that is national and almost inter national in scope. College people^ he explained, are apt to draw within a shell of their school and social ac tivities. The present movement is an opportunity for the schools to gain a larger vision. The University of Oregon with 20 delegates and O. A. C. with 30 have just 50 per cent of the state’s quota to the convention, Teutsch explained, and he urged that the movement be co-operated in by the two schools. The delegation should go as from the state. Without bringing forward a definite plan for aiding in financ ing the delegates, Teutsch spoke of the value of a joint campaign by the two schools to raise money for the movement throughout the state. The representatives would bring to their respective schools a wider and more inspired vision he said. As Teutsch finished his speech he was greeted again with a deafening ap plause. Dr. Howard Johnson of the First Presbyterian church of Portland, was introduced by President Campbell to explain the purpose and scope of the present student volunteer world movement. “Each student in the University,” said Dr. Johnson, “should have a keen realization of what he or she is here for.” Each individual student’s contribu tion from now on he declared( was not for his own community, state or (Continued on page 4) PRESIDENT SCORES EXTREME DANCING IN APPEAL TO COUNCIL Homecoming Stepping Will be Censored by Heads of Houses Extreme dancing on the part of the students was scored by Presi dent P. L. Campbell at the meeting of the student council last night. He pointed out that considerable criti cism had arisn over the nature of some of the steps which have been in vogue ai recent dances and stat ed that it was the wish of the Uni versity administration that any cause for censure should be eradicated be fore the Homecoming dance. Dean Elizabeth Fox also spoke along the same line, urging the coun cil to some effort by which control could be exercised over the objec tional features of recent dances. The council supported the presi dent and the dean of women in their stand and voted that the tendency should be discouraged. Heads of the various houses on the campus will meet with President Campbell next Wednesday at 4 o’clock that the situation may be outlined to them and plans laid for restraining the features in point. It is planned to make the heads of the houses res ponsible for the dancing of their members. Conference Plan Backed The council pledged themselves to stand behind the plans in progress for sending Oregon’s quota of 20 delegates to the World Student con ference to be held In Des Moines from December 31 to January 4 this winter. The large universities and colleges in the east are sending their full quota in membership and are clam oring for more delegates. The Uni versity of California, Miss Fox said, is sending 97 delegates and O. A. C. 33. Oregon’s quota of 20 delegates consists of 17 students, Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. secretaries and one member of the faculty. Votes to Cost $1 John Houston, member of the com mittee for sending the delegates out (Continued on page 4) Rooter s Cap Said to be Latest Thing in Dome Creations They're here! And about the catchiest things along lines of head coverings that have made their ap pearance on the Oregon campus for several years are the new Varsity rooter hats, which were placed on sale at the University book store yesterday afternoon. Only a limited number were secured from the man ufacturer and so if you are going to that big game in Portland this week end it is necessary that you make your purchase at once. They are going and going fast. The price for the cap^ complete in every detail, is 85^ cents. When it comes to hats, the offering of the new rooter skypieces are sure one clevor dome fixture. The base ■ of the hat is a two-inch wide yellow band on whic his placed a green “Oo" The crown of the hat is green and is surmounted by a small yellow knob. The hat is well constructed and should be able to stand the wear of several seasons, regardless of hard treatment. At last Oregon has a regular root er’s hat, and when the stands in Portland fill with the loyal sons next Saturday afternoon the new Varsity rooter hat will introduce itself to tho football public of Portland and the migratory birds from Pullman, who, it is rumored, will make the trip laboring under the impression that they are to return winners. How do they get that way? So grab the old wallet by the nap of the neck and shako loose that 85 J cents and then hie yourself into the | book store to get your hat. The next operation is to go to Portland. Regardless of how you get there, go!

DUNN TO LECTURE .Craftsmen Ask Professor to Repeat Recent Talk on Masonry A lecture delivered by Prof. Fred eric Stanley" Dunn of the department! of Latin at a dinner given by the^ Craftsmen in the Osburn hotel Tues-, day night was of such an interesting nature to Masons that he was asked to give a similar lecture at an early date. He agreed to repeat It at the next meeting of the club, which will be held in his lecture room In Vil lard hall, Nov. 25. PULLMAN GAME TO BE HARDEST FOUGHT OF CONFERENCE CLASHES Entire Football Squad Leaves Tomorrow for Contest at Portland MEN NOT OVERCONFIDENT Lineup Which Met Washington Team to Start Session—Rally May Be Held Friday Night Not in the least overconfident, the entire fotball squad occompanied by Coaches “Shy” Huntington and Bart Spellman and Trainer Bill Hayward will leave tomorrow morning at 7:35 for Portland to meet the hardest competitor in the conference, Wash ington State. Several members of the team are not in the bast of shape for the impending struggle and with tlie hardest game of the year facing it, the Varsity eleven has put in one of the most important practice weeks of the year. “Spike” Leslie, who received a ser ious injury in last week’s clash with the Washingtonians, is still limping about the campus with the aid of crutches. The husky tackle is do ing all ill his power to get into con dition for the contest but “Bill” Hay ward has little hope that ho will be able to start against the “Cougars.” However, he is using every means to aid the cause and if Leslie is able to play it will be wholly due to the work of the veteran trainer. Minor Injuries Numerous Although the rest of the team is intact, there are several men who are not in the condition that they were at the beginning of the fray at Seattle last week. Brandenberg, Howard, Huntington and Steers haye been troubled all week with minor injuries and may not be able to show as well as they did last week. How ever, with only a light workout to morrow, opportunity will be given for a much needed rest for the enr tire team. Word was received from Pullman yesterday that Captain Dick Hanley of the Staters will be out of the line up Saturday. lie was injured in the Idaho game last Saturday and has not been out for a practice since. There is also a rumor that Moran, who has been starring consistently at fullback, may not bo able to play in Portland. If such is the case, Oregon’s weakened condition as a result of last week’s encounter Inay be offset. "Even Break” Coach’s Belief Neither Coach Hutington nor Trainer Hayward are in the least over-confident over the coming strug gle. “Shy” said yesterday, "I believe that we have an even break with them,_ but wish the team was in the condition that it was last week at this time. However, you can rely on the members of the team to give everything they have.” Hayward said, “I believe that the team that is in the best condition will win, and we are not in very good condition. We will do our best to get ‘Spike’ Leslie into the lineup which will be a big factor in the re sult.” It is practically certain that the same eleven will begin the classic on Saturday that started In the Wash ington game with the exception of Leslie. If Spike is unable to take his post, Baz Williams will be shifted to tackle and Harding will play guard. Many to go to Portland The students have been in a "pep py” mood all week and a large dele gation is planning on going to the Rose City on Friday. A tag sale was held today for the purpose of raising enough money to send the hand with the team. The merchants of the town are asked to accommo (Continued on page 3)
