Oregon Emerald vol. 21 EUGENE, OREGON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1919 NO. 23 $500 $11 DO 10 SEND DELEGATES BUCK TO DES HOMES 97 Students Fail to Fulfill $1.00 Pledges; Faculty to Contribute EUGENE CHURCHES VOTE AID Veatch Seeking Aid in Portland— Mask and Buskin to Give Benefit Play With $500 yet to be raised to send Oregon delegates to the stu dent volunteer convention in Des Moines, the campaign for funds is being continued by members of the active committee. In the election held Thursday and Friday, 97 stu dents who signed election pledge cards did not participate in election or pay their $1, said Miss Urith Dailey, Y. W. C. A. general secre tary. These pledges will be col-! lected by a committee, said Miss Dailey. Factulty pledges have been verj poor, said Miss Dailey, and only a few dollars have been contributed! by them. “We have to get enough money from the faculty to send one faculty delegate to the conven tion,” she said. Koy Veaten, who is spending the week in Portland is making an at tempt to secure pledges from Port land churches. He is meeting many refusals, says a telegram received yesterday by Miss Dailey. The tel egram reads: “Many refusals; very little available; students must help more. Drive hard; this is the only chance in four years- Oregon never fails. We get until Saturday Ore gon never quits fighting.” Names of the delegates to attend the convention must be submitted to headquarters by Monday, said Miss Dailey. All necessary money must be pledged by that time, she said. Eugene churches have made gen erous pledges toward the fund. The Methodist at a meeting of the offi cial board Monday night agreed to pay $200, Presbyterian $100, Bap tist $40, Congregational $20. Some of the other churches have not yet been given an opportunity to pledge, said Miss Dailey, and they probably will make generous contributions. Another source of funds is the play to be produced by Mask and Buskin, Saturday, December 6, at the Eugene theatre. The name of the play has been announced as “The Prince of Liars,” and it is under the direction of John Houston and Lyle McCroskey. All profits from > the play are to be turned into con vention fund. ARMY DOCTOR URGES VALUEJOF PHYSIQUE MAJOR SWAN IN ILLUSTRATED TALK TO R.O.T.C. STRESSES CARE OF BODY Major Eugene L. Swan, of the surgeon general’s staff, spoke last j night before the members of the R. O. T. C., presenting motion pic tures on personal and social hygiene. The value of the perfect physique,! not only in army, but in civil life also, was dwelt upon by Major Swan. The reconstruction problems, he said, will demand the best that the ris ing generation has to offer. The film, which was made during the war, was used by the commission on training camp activities and ex hibited in every camp in the country.

Teams Victorious Friendly hall walloped the Sigma Nu quintet by a score of 13 to 2 and the A. T. O. team defeated the Fijis by the lopsided score of 14 to 4 in two fairly fast exhibitions on the outdoor gym court in the, opening feames of doughnut basketball league yesterday afternoon. In a very one sided contest the Sig Alphs took the S-Maralda club into camp by the tune of 28 to nothing. More nearly evenly was the contest between the Beta and Bachelordon representa tives which was won by the newer organization by a score of 8 to 6. The games started off promptly, the A. T. O. and Fiji teams taking the floor first. Games were played in five minute quarters. A- T. O. Team Strong. In the Sigma Nu versus Friendly game the playing was all in favor of Friendly and the Sigma Nus were unable to score a basket from the field, making their points on free throws. Eddie Durno was referee of the games. The lineups were as follows: Fijis (4) A. T. 0. (14) Knudsen (..). C. (4) K.VonderAhe Darby.. F. (4) F.VonderAhe LaRoche.... F...Williams Grey. G.(6) Folts Bain... G.Couch Substitutes: Fijis, Tuerck for Darby, H- Jacobberger for LaRoche, Huston for H. Jacobberger. A. T. O. Huggins for F. Vonder Ahe and Eg gleson for Williams.

G.Hollenbeck, Substitutes: Sigma Nus, Crissey for Hollenbeck, Day for Barrager, Shafer for Dudley and Shepherd for Day. Teamwork is Good. The teamwork of the S. A. E. team was very good, and although the S-Maralda losers put up a hard fight they were overwhelmed. Moores, McDaniel and Gassaway stared for the Sig Alphs, while Oden seemed to play the best game for the S-Maralda. The lineups were as follows: Sigma Alpha Epsilon S-Maralda Liebe. F.E. LaSelle Gassaway. F- Gaily McDaniel. G.Stickle Moores. G.Oden Purdy. G.Winds Substitutes: S. A. E., Fuller for Purdy, Russlaw for 'Gassaway. S Maralda, P. LaSelle for Winds. Teams Evenly Matched.

Bachlerdon won the game by a score of 8 to 6. The lineups were as fol lows: (Continued on page 4) VARSITY MAY GO SOUTH ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆☆☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ GRIDSTERS READY FOR MULTNOMAH HUNTINGTON TO USE FIRST STRING ELEVEN IN PORTLAND GAME Coach Decides Not to Take Any Chances With Clubmen’s Strengthened Team REGULARS NOT IN SHAPE Several Still Crippled as Result of O. A. O. Clash—Big Oregon Crowd to See Tilt As a result of information which drifted down from Portland, Coach “Shy” Huntington has changed his plans for the contest against Mult nomah club on Thanksgiving day. Up till Saturday, Huntington had planned on using hi ssecond-string men in the return clash, but when he found that the clubmen have been strengthened by the addition of sev eral stars he decided to use his reg ular eleven. The team will leave tomorrow morning at 7:55. A light workout is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon on Multnomah field, in order to get the men used to the gridiron. Since the O. A. C. game a week ago the spirit has been at a stand still on the campus. No further conference games are on the sched ule and the season is virtually over because of that fact. Only the Mult nomah contest remains unless Ore gon should be chosen for the Pasa dena trip. Band to be Taken. An effort was made yesterday to arrange to take Oregon’s band to Portland for the fray. The Portland club agreed to pay one-half of the expenses for the bandmen, but so many of them are planning on go ing to their homes for the week end that it was impossible to get enough men to make a showing. A large Oregon delegation will be in Portland for the game- Sev eral ^hundred students are planning on making the trip and a large number of alumni are in the Rose City, so all in all the university should be well represented in the, stands. Coach Huntington is undecided as yet as to whom he will use at the beginning of the game. Several of the regulars are still unable to scrimmage as a result of the Aggie j clash, so some of the first string of substitutes will be used in their stead. If things go well for the varsity, a number of second string; men will be sent in to replace regu lars. A few of the likeliest looking, freshmen are being taken along and' may be given a chance to show what they can do against real competi tion.

SOCCER GAME POSTPONED Oregon Will Not Play Multnomah Thanksgiving Day The attempt to schedule a soccer game with Mutlnomah for Thanks giving morning was not successful, but it is probable that a game will be arranged some time after the completion of the football schedule. The date of the return game with O. A. C. has likewise not been de cided upon. Practice will continue during the intereme. Indiana U. to (live Five Plays.

As usual this season, the dope was upset again and as a result a different phase of the proposition must be taken into consideration. How any committee can keep Ore gon away from Pasadena is hard to figure in view of the facts as they appear at this time. Oregon has won all except one contest during the year and has as good a percentage as any team in the conference California and Washington are the only other two elevens who can be considered as prospects now. These two rivals meet in Seattle on Thanks giving day, and the loser will be eliminated.
