Round Out Program.
“A—y—y—y—y—y—y—y—e!!”
For a moment the crowd was spell
bound. For a brief second the tenseness
lasted, and as Bill Hayward walked from
the stage pandemonium broke loose and
historic Villard hall literally rocked with
the cheers of a record crowd at the first
men’s mixer of the year. Bill had just
told them of the Oregon Spirit; charged
the Freshmen to carry on the glorious
traditions of the University and laid hare
the latent possibility within the heart of
every man that fostered and developed
at the “biggest little school in the great
west,” placed and maintained Oregon
among the mighty. •
The mixer was staged to get the
Freshmen acquainted with the old timers.
As “Shy” Huntington put it, the spirit
at Oregon was built 'upon the acquain
tainship maintained, and democracy, ex
pressed here. Every man in thp hall wore
a tag—name, class and home town —
and every student was “there" with the
glad hand until no one doubted the
whole-lieartedness and sincerity of the
fellowship that is the bulwark of Ore
gon tradition.
Hot-hand Starts Evenina.
The erovv'd was on time. Hot-hand
was the first thing on the program and
there was plenty of it.
By eight the entire crowd had gather
ed, SOO strong, and after a few spicy
rem.iaks by Johnnie Houston the ball
started rolling iby introducing, personal
ly, every Frosh. They were marched
across the stage and the audience added
to the event with pointed remarks.
Then came the speechmaking: Bill
Hayward, Carlton Savage, Bart Spell
man, “Shy” Huntington and “Ken”
Bartlett mil received tremendous ova
tions. Here the spirit arose to its
highest pitch, and Oregon, for the time
being at least, could lick the world. Each
speaker talked of supporting the team
and of the work -before it for the com
ing year. Claire Keeney, live wire yell
leader, kept the crowd on its toes dur
ing the talks.
“At the last game, when Shy heard
the crowd yelling and the band playing
for ad 1 it was worth, he confided in me
that it sent a shiver up his spine,” said
Keeney. “Stay with me this year, and
we’ll make it an earthquake!”
Hal Donnely, F. M. C. A. secretary,
told the crowd that the “Y." expected
to do all in its power to boost Oregon
and that he w'as always at their service.
Huggins Wins Cock Fight.
Next came the coc-k fight, with three
representatives from each class on the
stage. “Chuck” Huggins, junior, suc
ceeded in vanquishing all his foes follow
ing several battle royals. The victory of
a lower classman over one of his elders
was -another feature of this event.
Sleight of hand followed and a number
of clever stunts kept the men amused for
ten or fifteen minutes. A boxing match
of two rounds between Keil and Dawson
was fought, to the great delight -of sev
eral hundred fans. No decision was ren
dered. The fight consisted merely of
a sparring exhibition and clinches were
frequent.
Yells and -a giant serpentine preceded
the eats, consisting of plenty of cider,
doughnuts and pears. The committee in
charge fed the crowd in great style, and
their efficiency was one of the features
of the evening, next to the very unusual
display of spirit for an affair of that
kind.
John Houston, Don Newbury and
^ ayne Akers had charge of the mftsie
ft eslpy Prater and Elston Ireland super
intended the “eats” and* Houston and
f'Vle Bartholomew had charge of the
stunts. “Bib” Carl arranged for the
speakers.
KANSAS WILL INOCULATE.
Men -and women at Kansas are to lx

'No merp baggage-man can claim
the Por 11 a nd - E u ge n e mileage record
as long as Jack Benefiel and Jake
Jacobson have breath to talk. These
aristocrats of the forest patrol-fly
ing service boast that 10.000 miles
is as nothing compared to the 50,
000-mile total which they have piled
up.
Each of these men were observers
on the north patrol and flew an aver
age of 550 miles on each .round trip.
From the first of July to the 20th
of September they made approxi
mately 45 round trips. Side trips
and shout test flights added enough
mileage to bring the total of each up
to 25,000 miles.
•Since yesterday s Lmerald came
nut with Logan’s claim for the ama
teur record Jack and Jake have been
strenuously disputing his right to
the title, dn addition to the distance
th<^v traveled in a straight line they '
claim that the distance up and down
should be figured, but Logan refuses
to allow these figures to be entered.
Now that the one record has been
disputed the next thing is fox some
one to claim to have walked twice
as far as any of the parties traveled
by train or by plane.
CiiHClSE
FURTHER RESTRICTED
Dr. J. H. Gilbert Outlines
Faculty Regulations.
Dr. James II. Gilbert, chairman of the
'Committee on revision of students'
courses, yesterday outlined the new reg
ulations concerning change of enrollment.
Dr. Gilbert's statement follows:
“Faculty legislation for the past three
or four years has aimed to place under
stricter supervision all revisions of the
students’ course subsecpient to the time
when registration cards are filled. The
purpose of such legislation is to pre
vent unauthorized and unrecorded trans
fers from one course to another. With
in five days after the registration period
transfers may be made by taking a
change of enrollment card to the in
structors concerned and having the
change endorsed by the major professor.
After next Tuesday (October 5th) stu
dents seeking to change must petition
and secure consent of the appropriate
committee and then effect a change of
enrollment as before.
"In the past changes were sometimes
made by consulting the professors con
cerned and obtaining from the instructor
in charge permission to enter a new
course. Beginning with the fall term of
the year such unauthorized changes will
subject the student to a double pen
alty. An F grade may he given in the
course from which unofficial leave has
been taken and the student will forfeit
the credit in the course to which, unau
thorized transfer is made. Mere con
sent of the instructor does not consti
tute a valid registration and the com
mittee does not intend to allow credit
for any course in which the student is
not regularly enrolled. Hf changes must
be made, see that they are regular and
recorded.”

OBJECT TO PREVENT
MONOPOLIZATION
Present Method Allows More
Students To Engage In
Activities.
Students w h o attempt to carry
mone student activity work than is al
lowed under the point system will he
placed on probation, is the statement
made today by Carlton^ E. Spencer,
registrar.
Under the University ruling, no student
is allowed to have more than 15 points.
Each student activity is rated in points,
according to importance, and the amount
of wo'rk required. This .is done in order
* to safeguard the students against get
ting too much work, and to prevent the
more capable ones from monopolizing
student offices.
In hi^ statement, Mr. Spencer said:
“It is recognized that a part of the
value of University training is derived
from participation in student activities.
Working for the good of the school
through student-body, class, athletic, for
ensic, musical, religious or social organ
izations, gives training in public service,
self-sacrifice, and leadership. Two con
siderations. however, make certain lim
itations desirable. As many students as
possible should have an opportunity to
obtain training through the management
of student activities and it .should not he
possible for the student of natural exe
cutive ability (who therefore needs hut
little of such training) to monopolize
a number of student offices, to over
work or to neglect his studies.
“The point system evaluates the vari
ous outside activities bv assigning a num
ber of points to each. No student is
permitted to carry more than 15 points.
The point system may be found in see
i tions 225 and 226 of University regula
tions and on pages 26 and 24 of the Y.
M. C. A. handbook.
“Violation of the point system places
the offender on probation which re
moves him from all activities and offices
“On the other hand, every student
should strive to do his or her share;
choose the lines of endeavor most at
tractive and for which the student is
best adapted, and then go in with the de
termination to win honors for self and
University.”
I. 0. 0. F. TO ENTERTAIN
Faculty and Student Members To Be
Guests Tuesday Evening.
All students find faculty members \vlm
belong to the Odd Fellows will be the
guests of the Eugene lodge next Tuesday
evening. This is the first time in the
history of the local organization that
anything of this nature has been done to
welcome student members, but it is
planned to make the reception an annual
affair. ■ 1 i| % ’'i 'jIFTf
Lodge ceremonies will be held prompt

| Workmen Find
| Fossilized Clams
| Near Kincaid Field
★---★
A fossilized pine cone and n num
'ber of razor clams in the same
slate of preservation were found re
cently by workmen engaged in blast
ing on the site of the new education
building south of Kincaid field. Ac
cording to Frof. TO. L. Packard, act
ing head of the department of geol
ogy, they are specimens of the Oli
gocene age, making them nearly
2,000,000 yeari old.
There is but one better speciment
of fossilized cone in the University
exhibit, according to Professor
Packard. The, core of the cone
which is the only part remaining,
has become a piece of coal. The
clams are of a different species
from those commonly known here.
Professor Packard explained that
there mis probably a lake standing
over the present site where the
excavating was made, and that coni
fer trees grew along the edge of this
body of water. He will make an in
vestigation himself of the land in
the close vicinity of the place
where the other specimens were
found in the hopes that others may
he located. They will be placed on
exhibit with, the rest of the geolog
ical exhibit.
Committee Asks Co-operation
In Working Out System.
Plans for open horse this evening .were
perfected by a student committee in
conference with Dean Fox last night.
The system to be used is essentially the
same as that published ,in yesterday’s
Emerald. 'Each men’s house will be di
vided into two groups and each group
will visit, all the houses on their list and
an yothers that time will permit.
The routes to1 be followed are the
same as published yesterday. The first
includes Delta Zeta, Chi Omega, Kappa
Alpha Theta, Chambers Annex, Alpha
Phi, Simga Delta Phi, Alpha. Delta Pi,
Thacher Cottage and the Y. W. C. A.
The second group consists of Gamma
Phi Beta. Delta Gamma, Delta Delta
Delta, Zeta Rho Epsilon, Kappa Kappa
Gamma, Hendricks Hall, Haley Cottage
and Pi Beta Phi.
The committee is very anxious that
open house he a complete success and
asks the hearty co-operation of each or
ganization. In order that there will be as
little congestion and hurry as possible
the committee decided that 7:30 should
be set as the time for starting. The
men are requested to start out at that
time in order that all the houses on their
list may be visited hv 11:00 o’clock.
The committee which conferred with
Dean F'ox was composed of John Hous
ton, Vivian Chandler and Remey Cox.
NEW INSTRUCTOR- HERE
Dr. E. T. Hodge of Geology Department
On Campus This Week.
Dr. E. T. Hodge, recently secured by
the University as *an instructor in the
department of geology, was on the
campus one day this week making ar
rangements to take up his work at the
University of Oregon th% first of the
new year. Dr. Hodge has been acting
head of the department of geology at
the University of British Columbia for
three years during the absence of Dr. R.
W. Brock, a member of the Allenby ex
pedition to Palestine.

versity, to look after business connected
’/lth the mine but plans to return to take
up the advanced classes in engineering
and economic geology at the beginning
of the second term.
Dr. Hodge ranks very high as a geol
ogist, according to Professor E. L.

lumbia University and has had experi
ence in all of the various phases of geol
ogy and geological survey.
BY LETTER MEN'S
1BSENCE. HOPEFUL 1
Huntington Has Wealth of
Green Material; la Driv
ing His Men Hard.
LINE PROSPECTS FAIR;
BACKFIELD IS PROBLEM
New Practice Field Obtained;
Clash With Idaho First
Hard Contest.
With the first fp\v da,vs of scrimmage
over, prospects for Ylregon’s Varsity do
not seem very promising, but according
to Coach “Shy” Huntington there are a
few bright spots. Too much can not bex
expected from these first, few days as
there is munch green material.
As yet the team is without a captain,
though Huntington still hopes to secure
the return of “Wild” Bill Steers, last
year’s -star quarter, -and captain of this
year’s team. “Billy” Reinhart is running
the team at present. Reinhart served
his apprenticeship on the 1916. frosh
team but has never played with the var
sity. He is shifty and fast however, and
looks good for his berth. ‘‘Sheet” Man
crud, sub quarter of last year is not to
return. His flashy playing and the
kicking of both him and Steers will be
greatly missed this year. Francis
(Tony) Jaeobberger will probably han
dle that end of the game this year.
“Tony” is a letter man of two years
standing. According to “Shy” he will
probably be able to roll up more yardage
, than any other man in the conference an
his kicking, now that Templeton of
Stanford is out of the game. “Tony” is
now holding down a job at half. ‘Frankie’
Hill of last year’s freshman team is fill
ing the other half position. George King,
another member of the last year’s frosh
aggregation completes the backfield at
full.
Line Looks Good.
The lin*4 with three of the 192© var
sity men back looks more encouraging.
Mart Howard «t left end; “Brick” Les
lie at center and “Spike” Leslie at tackle
are all filling their old berths. “Rudd”
Brown is playing at iright end. “Rudd”
played with the 1920 frosh, and is a
heavy, fast player. “Hughie” Clerin is
holding down the tackle berth on that
I side of the line. Clerin has never had
varsity experience, but looks good. At
ihe guard positions are Ed Ward and
“Scotty” Strachan. Both of these men
have been subs of previous seasons. Tha
line has been still further augmented toy
the arrival of “Tiny” Shields. Shields
was one of the best looking freshindta
last year in his place at tackle. Carl
(Fat) Mamts of last year’s varsity
will be back the first part qf next week,
and he will make Ward and Strachan
hump to hold down their places.
It seemed as though one hole was
plugged when Vince Jacobberger re
turned to college last week. Vince has
decided to go back to Notre I>ame, how
ever. Everett (Brandy) Brandenburg
has been out also but he has a bad ankle,
which was injured this summer. “Bran
dy” was a regular of last year and cap
tain of the team, and if he is in shape he
should go well this season.
, New Field Used.
“Shy” has selected a new practice field
for the varsity near Hayward field. This
will get the team away from the crowds
and allow the freshmen the use of Kin
caid field. Hayward field is in fine
shape for (he opening of the season. A
man has been tending it all summer and
it is not only green, but also hard. The
varsity will do no practicing on it until
a few days before the first game, how
ever.
Oregon is scheduled to play her first
game two weeks from today. At tbia
time she will meet either Willamette
Multnomah club here. The game baa
not been definitely arranged tout Gradu
ate Manager McClain promises that *
game will take place. The first stiff
game will be played with Idaho. This
game will also toe played at 'Eugene. The
viuirsity will get two trips south this
year. They will meet Stanford at Palo
Alto and the University of-Southern Cal
ifornia at Pasadena. The big game of
the year will probably be the one with
