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.

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

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.

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!

.Craftsmen Ask Professor to Repeat
Recent Talk on Masonry
A lecture delivered by Prof. Fred
eric Stanley" Dunn of the department!

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
