Manager McClain Arranges
For Initial Contest on
Old Kincaid Field.
MANY EX-OREGON MEN
ON SQUAD OF CLUBMEN
Lemon-Yellow Coaches Silent
f on Line-Up; Fight for
Berths Still On.
Definite arrangements with .Multnomah
Club, of Portland, were completed last
night to 'bring the dub eleven to lviD
.gene Saturday for the first game of the
season for Coach H'untington’s warriors.
Manager Marion McCiain bias been busy
the past few days in attempting to, get
the clubmen here for an opening game
but was unsuccessful, owing to the fact
that they wished to play in Portland. A
telegram from Portland last night set
tled the matter and the Rose City aggre
gation will line up against the lemon
yellow eleven .Saturday afternoon on Kin
raid field.
Coach Huntington is not very opti
mistic in speaking of the outlook for a
victory, and1 has not announced his line
al) as yet, although he will probably msc
a number of men in an attempt to get
a line on what he can expect from them
during the season. (Last night’s was the
peppiest little practice’the team has been
through for some time and they showed
a marked improvement in their work.
Coaches Huntington and Spellman said
they were both well pleased with the
workout.
Jonsen Out of Game.
“Pete’1 Jensen, who has been going
strong for a backfield position, has
dropped out of the squad and will be un
able to play this season, according to bis
doctor’s verdict. This means one more
backfield man out of the running, and it
is the backfield that at present giving
the coaches the greatest amount of con
cern. The line is. showing pp good,
in fact, the competition for a line berth
en the varsity is getting so keen that no
one is sure of a position as yet. Hunt
ington is working about 1-1 men on tile
line and as yet is not making any pre
dictions as to who will hold down the
positions in the first conference game.
Xo doubt tlie line-up in Saturday’s game
«ill go a long ways towards deciding the
contest among a number of the aspir
ants.
Multnomah may be expected to bring
down a fast and husky eleven as they
have been working for the past month
with a good turnout at each practice.
There are la number of old Oregon
players trying out with the club eleven,
among them F.d Strowbridge, who was
iu Huntington's backfield squad lust year.
Boh Cosgriff, who also worked as a sub
backfield man last season, Stan Ander
son, who held down an end position, and
Ctcs Maddock. a letter mein of former
years with the lemon-yellow squad.
Letter Men Wear “M”.
Among the men who wore the winged

position this season with the club grid
slurs are, Gerie Murphy and “Pudge"

Big Mautz Back;
Out of Jail and |
Out For Varsity !
*-*
A trifle thinned jind somewhat
lusty looking because of n summer
spent within the .Multnomah county
jail. Carl Varner Mautz, elephantine
lineman of the varsity football team,
returned Sunday evening to the
campus ostensibly to. resume bis
work in the pr<;-medic department.
Last evening he made his first ap
pearance in a suit of moleskins.
Mautz — or Muntz, or Muttz. or
whatever other names sporting
writers and society reporters chose
to give him — began his connection
with the strong arm of the Multna
mah law forces shortly after the
beginning of the summer vacation
term in the capacity of assistant jail
er and deputy sheriff, and served
lip to a few days ago. While there
he helped safeguard the public from
a number of dangerous criminals,
including Neil Hart, Indian half
'll reed who is now awaiting execu
tion at t-bilcm for the murder of
Sheriff Til Taylor of Pendleton, and
many others.
“Charlie” admits that lie likes the
work and snvs that lie may consider
going back to jail next summer.
GLEE CLUB TRYOUTS
TO BE HELD OCT. 11
John Stark Evans Will Lead
Men’s Organization.
Tryouts for the University of Oregon
gleifc club are to be held Monday 'after
noon, October 11, a\ the music building
at 4:30, Warren Edwards, president of
the club announced yesterday. All stu
dents who wish to try for the club
should turn out at that time.
According to Edwards the old men on
the cl'ulb plan to make this organization
come up to its old time standards this
year. Of late years the interest has not
bee lias great in the club as in previous
seasons. The club concert at home was
formerly one of the chief functions^ of
the year, and it is planned to re-establish
its popularity.
Many of the men of last year have re
turned to form a basis for the organiza
tion of this year’s club, and there are
prospects for a very successful season.
A number of trips are being planned,
among them being one to Pasadena, when
the Oregon varsity football team plays
there. There is some talk of a trip to
Chicago should the faculty see fit to al
low sufficient time for it.
The club will have the advantage of an
excellent director this year, in the per
son of John Stark Evans. Mr. Evans
handled the club successfully two years
ago. He returned to the University
music department this year after a year
of active work in New York.
All students arc eligible for the club,
mud it is the hope of the old men that as
many as possible will turn out for the
tryouts.
Mr. Evans expects to have about 150
men out for the tryouts, he states. The
most of the openings this year in the
club will be in the buss and baritone sec
tions.

FIRST MEETING OF
R.S.tl.0. TO BE HELD
THURSDAY MORNING
Combined Glee Clubs Will
Lead in Singing Ore
gon Songs.
FIFTY MINUTES ONLY,
SAYS CARLTON SAVAGE
Important Reports, Amend
ment, Plans for Coming
Year Discussed.
The first regular meeting of the As
sociated Students of the University of
Oregon will be held tomorrow at 11 a. m.
in \ illaud hall. Important reports, the
presentation of an amendment to the
student constitution, and general plans
for the coming year will occupy the fifty
minute assembly, according to Carlton
Savage, and the combined men’s and wo
men’s glee clubs under the direction of
John Standi Evans will lead in singing
Oregon songs.
A report on the athletic situation of
the University will be given by Marion

Durno, Greater Oregon committee;
Johnny Houston, Homecoming commit
tee; Wayne Akers, campus committee;
Norton Winuard, condolence committee,
and Johnny Houston, dance committee.
Final arrangements for the student body
dant-e to be given Friday evening at the
Armory will he announced.
. Wilt Present Amendment
All «mcndment to the A. S. U. G. con
stitution will bo presented by Harris
Ellsworth, former manager of the Emer
ald and the Oi'egana, students yearbook.
The amendment proposes to raise the
amount which the editor and manager of
the Emerald may make during a year
from $100 to $400 apiece. According to
Ellsworth, this merely means that the
editor and manager of the college publi
cation. which began the year as a daily,
might make more than the $100 a year,
should they clear that much after all ex
penses for the year have been paid. This
money would not come from the treas
ury of the Associated Students, but
would be earned as a result of their
own work, he said. The $100 arrange
ment was made when the Emerald was
issued but twice a week.
Bring Your “Handbook.”
Tlie combined glee clubs will lead in
singing Oregon songs after the regular
meeting has been concluded, according to
President Savage. All students are ad
vised to bring their “handbooks,” if they
are unfamiliar with the words of the
songs. The meeting will be dismissed
early in order to allow the freshmen
plenty of time for their class meeting,
which will be held after the A. S. TT. O
assembly.
BAND MEETING GIVES
PROMISING OUTLOOK
Thirty-five Musicians Turn Out at First
Call; May Play for Satur
day’s Game.
With thirty-five enthusiastic musicians
out at the hand meeting in Vi Hard hall
last night, prespects for a good band this
year seem particularly promising. A
majority of the men were new. but the
old men were fairly well divided over the
various sections of the band.
It was found, however, that becivase
the "band is without a library, a director,
or a fund of any kind, it will be impossi
ble for them to turn out for today’s ral
ly. Sufficient money was personally ad
vanced bv those interested to allow for
a buried order to Portland that will
furnish enough music on which to start
the season. If the plans for a game
Saturday are realized the hand will be
whipped into shape for that date.
Rand practice was called for Friday
night in Villard hall at five p. m. Wheth
er a man will make a position on the
band or not depends largely on bis pres
ence at these early meetings it was
stated so every man interested shoald
make it a point to be out.
FRESHMAN OUT STRONG.
The T’niveTsity of Washington has 100
freshman out for football.

piece orchestra has been secured and the
dancing committee promises a good time
with lots of "Oregon Spirit.” A charge
of fifty cents a couple is to be made and
sill money exceeding the expense of the
dance will be turned over to the Student
Body funds.
It is hoped that all students will start
the year right and take advantage of this
opportunity to become acquainted with
each other. Johnny Houston, chairman of
the committee arranging student body
dances, requests that the students be
especially cordial to the patrons and pa
tronesses at the dance 'Saturday evening.
Other Student Body dances for the year
will be scheduled within the next week.

Recommendations Drawn IPp
to Submit to Teachers.
(Recommendations concerning the organ
ization of the proposed junior colleges in
Oregon were made at a meeting of the
state committee of educators in charge
of the subject, held at the Multnomah
hotel in Portland Friday afternoon. Dean
Sheldon of the school of education is
chairman of this committee, which is
composed of Dean (1. IT. Alden of Will
amette University. Dean E. D. Kessler
of O. A. C„ Supt. George A. Briscoe of
Ashland. Supt. Aubrey G. Smith of Med
forti and S'upl. A. C. Strange of Astoria.
The committee chew up a report to be
submitted to the teachers committee of
the Oregon state teachers association for
(heir adoption. This report contains n
number of recommendations to he passed
upon, among them it was recommended
that the junior colleges should he kept
•separate from the high schools, be housed
in separate ipiarters and have different
teachers than those in the higli school.
Students shall he required to take the
same number of hours as in college, and
there shall be at least twenty-five stu
dents for the first year nud fifteen for
the second.
There are about one hundred junior
colleges in tin' country, twenty-five of
which are in California, they were start
ed there for the purpose of lessening the
number of freshmen and sophomores in
the state university. The idea was start
ed by President llarper of the Univer
sity of Chicago over twenty-five years
ago. Oregon at present has no junior
colleges and according to Dean Shelden
there is.no need for them at the present
time.
