candidates. Louise Davis ran a close
second with 394 votes. The other
candidates were elected only by a
slight majority in every instance.
The voting was considerably light
er than the committee expected and
showed that only a small percent
age of the student body voted. Most
of the voting was done on Thursday,
according to Eva Hansen, who
handled the polling. Although there
is a marked deficit in the fund to
be raised before November 25, sev
eral plans are crystalizing whereby
the committee hopes to raise the
necessary amount during the next
month. Effort will be made to so
licit the aid of townspeople with the
assistance of William Moll Case,
pastor of the Central Presbyterian
church. The benefit play to be
given by Mask and Buskin at the
Eugene theatre, December 6, is ex
pected to advance the needle several
points toward the thousand dollar
mark.
The winning candidates from the
university along with the delegates
from the other institutions of Ore
gon will leave Portland by special
train during the latter part of De
cember so as to permit their arrival
in Des Moines by December 31. The
convention will occupy five days,
ending January 4

BRONZE TABLET HERE
FOR JOHNSON HALL
Inscription Commemorating Memory
of Oregon's First President to
Be Placed
Johnson Hall is to have a me
morial tablet. In fact one has been
received by the university from a
Portland Grass works, and will be
installed within a few days. The
building- was named Johnson Hall,
in commemoration of the first pres
ident of the university, but no tab
let has ever been placed in it.
The tablet is made of bronze and
is approximately two feet by three
feet. It will be placed in the cor
ridor near the main entrance to
Johnson Hall. It reads as follows:
“JOHN WESLEY JOHNSON,
“First president of the University
of Oregon, was born near Kansas
City, Missouri, in the year 1836.
In 1876 he was appointed to the
presidency of the University of
Oregon. He served the university
in this capacity until 1893 and sub
sequently as professor of Latin un
til his death in 1898. In commemor
ation of a life nobly lived and
worthily dedicated to the cause of
higher education in the common
wealth of Oregon, this building has
been named,
Johnson Hall.”

“LITTLE DOG LAUGHED”
IS CLEVERLY STAGED
BY DRAMATIC MS
Charlotte Banfield, Gertrude
Phetteplace and Adah
McMurphey Star
Carrying the audience back to
the days of their childhood, with its
wealth of folk stories and Mother
Goose rhymes, Fergus Reddie’s fan
tasy in four acts, “The Little Dog
Laughed,” was produced at the
Eugene theatre last night. From the
time that the first curtain was
drawn upon the kitchen of the old
Goose home in Salem, Massachusetts,
in the beginning of the 18th century
until the last drop the audience was
held by the unique manner of pro
duction and the clever work of
some of the members of the cast.
Miss Charlotte Banfield, as Ann
Goose, was perhaps the most pleas
ing of the characters. Gertrude
Phetteplace, playing the role of the
little dog that laughed, and Adah
McMurpKy, as the cat with the
fiddle, were especially cjever in
their parts, added a great deal of
humor. Peter Piper, a bachelor—
very fond of pumpkins, was played
by Roy Veatch, who gave one of the
best of the characterizations of the
play.
In the role of Captain Eleazer
Goose, Norvell Thompson was ap
parently unable to sink his own in
dividuality.
Thompson carried his lines well,
but it was evident at all times that
it w~s he and not the character
from Mother Goose’s rhymes, as the
others soon became.
The action of the fantasy through
out takes place in the kitchen of
the old Goose home in Salem, Mas
sachusetts. Until the last act, the
time is in the early 18th century.
In the last part, for the most part,
it is supposed to be up-to-date.
Sophs and Seniors Tie On Gridiron
Manu Footballs Complicate Game
i A scoreless tie was the result of a
tiard fought; battle between the
senior and sophomore football teams
on Kincaid field Friday afternoon
for the interclass championship.
Neither team had the punch nor
cleverness to put the ball across for
the telling score. During the last
quarter the seniors carried the ball
down the field 50 yards to the 10
yard line. Fox pulled a pass but one
of the sophomores on the sideline
! was unfortunate enough to get in the
way of the ball, thus incompleting
the pass. With the ball 5 yards
from the goal the final whistle
blew, ending the seniors’ only chance
to score.
The game was full of thrilling
features, as are most senior-sopho
more contests. Mast’s end run in
the second quarter was one of the
diversions of the game. He raced
from one side of the field to the
other, but as there seemed to be
sophomores in his road everywhere
he did not advance the ball. Jay
Fox intercepted a pass, and ran
33 yards before he was tackled. At
this time it is not certain whether
he used the ball that was put in
play or not, but that is immaterial.
The line plunging of “Herm” Lind
was^the source of much gain to the
four year men. Time after time he
slashed through the ever weakening
sophomore line for substantial gain.
The sophomores played a defensive
game throughout the entire contest.
The backfield was particularly ef
fective in stoping the forward passes
and end run plays of the husky
seniors. La Roche, the second year
pilot, did not play up to regular form.
Collins and Purdy seemed to be the
majin yardage grabbers. J‘MortT
Brown substituted in the senior line
up at right half, featured himself in
the latter part of the game by
making repeated gains through the
line.
It may be said that the seniors
played an almost entirely offensive
game, while the sophomores de
fended their goal with a dogged
persistence that was almost impos
sible to overcome. “Eddie” Durno,
referee, was kept busy counting the
number of balls on the field to lo
cate the proper pill, and he also
had some trouble keeping eleven
men on a side.
Because the time of the game was
changed from Saturday afternoon
to Friday the crowd was small,
and the rooting section was prac
tica ly nli. Class officials believe
that another game will be played
to settle the coveted championship.

UNIFORMS MUST LAST
R.O.T.C. CADETS YEAR
Capt. Baird Says Worn-out Equip
ment Will Have to be Paid for
or Credits Will Be Lost
The practice of wearing R. O. T.
C. uniforms at work is being dis
couraged by Commandant R. C.
Baird. The uniforms are intended
to last each cadet a year, and if
they are worn out before the expir
ation of this time the price of the
equipment will be charged to the
cadet by the university and credits
in all subjects will be withheld until
the equipment is paid for.
Notices to this effect were dis
tributed among the companies at
drill last Friday. It was announced
that in the future no credit will be
given for worn out clothing returned
unless the cadet’s record of attend
ance at drill has been satisfactory
and the condition of the uniform
such as would be reasonably expect
ed from the service required of it.
Copies of Service Magazine Needed.
The university library needs the
following numbers of “Stars and
Stripes” to complete its file for
binding: Nos. 1, 3, 25, 43, 44- Any
one having copies of these numbers
that he is willing to spare is re
quested to communicate with Li
brarian M. H. Douglass.
HELD AT WILLAMETTE
ABE ROSENBURG REPRESENTS
OREGON AT CONFERENCE OF
8 COLLEGES OF STATE
A meeting is being held at Wil
lamette University at Salem to com
plete plans for the Old Line ora
torical contest which is scheduled
for the early part of January by
eight colleges of the state in compe
tition with the university. Abe
Rosenberg, secretary of the league,
left this morning for Salem to rep
resent the University of Oregon
at the meeting which will be con
cerned chiefly with the selection of
judges for the contest. Oregon takes
the stand that the three judges chos
en for the contest should in addition
to being judges of delivery also be
capable of judging the manuscript
from a literary standpoint.
Try outs for the triangular state
debate in which the Oregon Agri
cultural College, Reed College, and
the University of Oregon are par
ticipants, will be held next Tuesday
at 4 o’clock in Professor Prescott’s
room in Johnson Hall. Oregon’s
negative is to meet Reed’s affirma
tive in Portland, and O. A. C.’s neg
ative will come to the university to
meet Oregon’s affirmative. The
immigration question, “Resolved,
that the principles of the Chinese
exclusion act should be applied to
all immigration into the United
States for a period of not less than
five years,” is the question decided
j upon for discussion. January 9 is
the date set for the debate.
CURRENT GOES ON STRIKE
Motion Pictures Fall and Biology
Lecture is Postponed
Because the d. c. current which
supplies the motion picture machines
| on the campus refused to “kick”
Wednesday night the biology films,
j “How Life Starts,” were not shown
last night. Some trouble has been
i experienced with the generator
which supplies the power. The con
dition was remedied and the first
three reels of the series shown to
a large division of the class at 8
o’clock this morning.
A second showing of the pictures
will be held at Villard hall Monday
evening. The general public is in
vited to attend. The pictures will
include four reels of films.
!VARSITY MEN REST
i TODAY TO PREPARE
TOR PORTLAND GAME
Only Light Workouts Held Dur
ing Week for Turkey
Day Clash
OTHER GRIDIRON CONTESTS
IN CONFERENCE WATCHED
All Eyes on California-Stanford and
Washington State-Aggie Contests
—Results Important
The varsity, after playing its
three hardest contests, rested for
the first time in four weeks today.
As Thanksgiving day comes on next
Thursday, it was deemed advisable
by the schedule makers last fall to
allow a day of rest before the final
game with Multnomah.
It is certain that the game next
week will not be a walkaway as the
one was .earlier in the year against
the Clubmen. Since that time sever
al former stars have joined the
ranks of the Portland aggregation
and have strengthened the eleven
greatly.
On the other hand the varsity has
passed through one of the most
strenuous three week schedules that
any team ever faced.
As a result, the members of the
team have put their best efforts
forth before this time and are not
in the shape they were for the other
contests.
Daily practices are being held as
usual. Several of the substitutes
are being used regularly in the line
up, and they will probably be used
more for experience than anything
else. Coach “Shy” Huntington is
looking ahead to next year’s team
and using some of the men who
are prospects for the 1921 varsity.
Little more has been heard about
the Pasadena proposition. Almost
every paper or prominent sport writ
er has a verdict of some different
institution, but nothing will be
known until the board meets for the
final consideration, probably soon
after the Turkey day games.
Today’s clashes on other gridirons
will count a great deal in the final
consideration. O. A. C. has a chance
to stage a comeback when they meet
the Washington state eleven on
Multnomah field in Portland. The
Aggies are fighting strong to come
through the season with at least
one conference victory and they may
put it over. The Cougars are weak
ened greatly by the absence of
Jenne, who starred in the Oregon
W. S- C. clash two weeks ago, and
Captain Dick Hanley. If the 0. A.
C. eleven downs or even ties the
northern team, it will prove to the
Pasadena people that Oregon has
| a real eleven.
In the southland, Stanford will en
deavor to lower the Blue and Gold
colors. Unless the unforseen oc
curs, the Golden Bear should have
little trouble with Coach Evan’s
Stanford team.. Should Stanford
win, it will simply mean that the
title will be settled in the northwest,
because W. S. C. downed California
and O. A- C. nearly tied her a few
weeks ago. Stanford has played
but one game in the north, when
after being outplayed by the Aggies
during the entire game, they rallied
and won by a recovered fumble. So
Stanford should not be a contender.
California meets Washington next
j Thursday in perhaps the most im
portant deciding contest of the sea
! son. If the northern aggregation
1 can down the southern aggregation
the Pasadena board will have to
make its choice between Oregon,
I Washington and W. S. C.
