FIVES TO START SOON
Coach Bohlcr Asks Tor Election of Bas
ketball Managers.
Coach George M. Bolder of the cam
pus "doughnut league” has asked that
all the men’s houses who intend to put
out basketball teams this year, elect their
team managers at their next regular
house meeting in order that they may be
ready to attend the team managers’
meeting, early next week. The league
will be organized and a tentative sche
dule announced, l’lav is expected to
start a week from Monday and will con
tinue until after Thanksgiving, or until
the opening of the Varsity season.
Coach Bolder stated that two games
will be played each day, but if this does
not allow room for all the men who wish
to play, a 1! division of the doughnut
league will bo formed.
Flans have liot-yet been announced for
the interclass games, but Coach Bolder
'states that, as formerly, the iuterelass
season will correspond with the Varsity
season and that the league will probably
be formed during the winter term.
Want to Know About Balloons?
Ask J. Hugh Pruett, He Knows
Introducing j. Hugh piiuett,
instructor in the physics department
at the University of Oregon.
Two interesting things have happened
in .Mr. Pruett’s life, he admits. The first,
I"' got married, the second, in 1917, he
went to war. Of the former he tells
nothing, but of the latter much. ,,
'During the war,” says J. Hugh
■ Tuett. “I was a weather man, that is,
i was placed in the weather bureau de
partment of the army.” The first few
months of his service with thi? depart
ment was spent at the weather bureau
ol'lico iu Seattle. Here he made weather
observations, weather maps, and weather
predictions.
After four months of work here lie
"as sent east to P>edloe’s island, in Xew
York harbor, where the famous bronze
Statue of Liberty by Bartholdi is lo
cated. Professor Pruett spent two
""mtlis on this islamf waiting to go
a,1ii>ss. At night he slept under the
shadow of the statue.
i
In France ho was given' a special
course of instruction on upper air work
at a school in Lengres. Ilo was finally
sent in charge of a regular station five
miles south of Paris, where lie had six
assistants. The work at that place was
concerned with sending up hydrogen
balloons, to find the speed and current of
the upt»er air. Sometimes the balloons
I were sent as high as 12 miles above the
surface of the earth. The information
gained through thorn being used by avi
ators and the artillery.
Mr. Pruett did graduate work as a
scholarship student at the University of
Chicago, and has taught for five years
in Oregon high schools. He has several
rattier large classes here at the Univer
sity, but he says' they are not hard to
manage for he just uses high school
methods on them. However, from the
way he laughed when he said this, it is
easy to understand why any student,
either high school or college, would got
along well with .T. Hugh Pruett.
Two Women’s Fraternities
Punished By Pan-Hellenic
For Rushing-Rule Violation
Pi Beta Phi and Delta Gamma Found Guilty of
Infractions, and Pledging Privilege
Suspended; Leniency Shown
The Pau-IIelk’»ie council yesterday
evening indorsed the action taken by the
Pan-l-Iellenic alumnae board in imposing
penalties on the local chapters of Pi Beta
Phi and Delta Gamma for the iufriug
ment of rushing rules.
The penalty imposed on Pi Beta Phi
forbids rushing T>r pledging of students
until after matriculation in the spring
term. The Delta Gammas are forbidden
to rush ,or pledge students during the
first term of this year and their piecing
day will be one week later than that of
the other houses at the beginning of the
second term. Bushing is defined by the
Pan-llellenic Ahjmhac Board as the en
tertaining of any girl by a student or
alumna member, either in ' or out of
town.
' ■ The‘twtr bouses oat ' whom penalties
were inflicted wore not the only ones
wlio used improper methods of rushing,
according to the report of the alumnae
board. There were a great many in
fringements, large and small, but the two
penalized were the only ones against
whom definite enough evidence was se
cured to justify punishment. The board
'thinks the penalties light, considering
the nature of the offences. The Pi lleta
Phi penalty was made a little heavier
because they not only broke the rule but
openly defied it. Muck evidence was
brought up iu the board meet^g and the
questions of the offences were contest
ed.
The Pan-Hellenic alumnae board is au
advisory organization which acts with the
Pan-Hellenic Council, iu the enactment
of rulc^for the governing of the sorori
ties on the campus. r*
SENIORS TO NURSE
Moustache Race on; Must Fin
ish By Homecoming1.
The annual senior men's handicap was
officially opened yesterday. Entries
from all parts of the state are^ listed and,
although the prize is as yet unannounced,
competition is nevertheless at the boil
ing point.
The affair is the senior men’s mous
tache contest. These honored members
of the stronger sex arc the only ones al
lowed to cultivate the “Misplaced eye
brows,” and already several dirty look
ing upper-lips are much in evidence.
Local druggists and tonsorial artists
report an overwhelming demand for hair
restorers, developers and so forth. With
demand exceeding supply, the price has
taken a material jump (which is quite ac
cording to Hoyle, says Mr. Taussig) but
the worthy seniors are not to be outdone
by such a minor consideration.
As one prominent senior puts it, “Why
worry about expenses, we’ve got lots of
them.”
The date for the termination of the
great race has not been definitely de
cided upon, but the senior co-eds seem to
favor sometime before the Homecoming
festivities. These fairer 'representatives
of '”1 claim that they do not want their
otherwise respectable class to be judged
by the men’s appearances when the old
grads return to visit the campus.
JAZZ JINKS POSTPONED
Junior Step Not To Come Off October
23; Dated for Next Term.
The Junior Jazz Jinks is postponed,
and what’s more it isn’t going to come
off tins term. The committee promise a
jazzier jinks than this one could pos

during the next semester,, however.
The dance was scheduled for next
Friday, October 23rd, but owing to a
large number of sorority and fraternity
dances for the same evening it was de
cided to postpone the Junior affair.
Scrimmage Game Needed To
Develop First Team.
Tlie Oregon varsity will tangle with
the freshmen this morning. Oregon hail
no varsity game scheduled this week and
so will play ia. regular game with the
frosli. The game will be played on the
new practice field.
rlhe game really should be a good one.
The freshmen have a good aggregation
of players, and should make the varsity
work hard. The only thing in which the
freshmen are lacking is experience.
'Coach Ken Bartlett announced that
his line-up for the game would be Dig
man and Bryson, ends Keed and King,
tackles; Byler and Johnson, guards; W.
Johnson, center; Parsons and Be 'Paul,
halfs; Burton, full; and Chapman, quar
ter. This huuch should give the varsity
a uuu for their money when the game is
played, today. “Chuck” Parsons looks
like an awful good bet in the backfield.
He is a brother of John Parsons, a for
mer Oregon player, lie is fast and for
yardage* any time. Chapman at quarter
keeps the team working all the time and
is a good heady player. The line men
are all big men and should keep the
varsity line working hard.
Coach “Shy” Huntington refuses to an
nounce who he will stnrt as yet but says
he will 'use his first team men. He says
the men need the, practice and he is
going to use as many as possible during
the game.
The game will be open and the students
will get to see the team in action.
“Nish” Chapman is out in a suit now.
lie has been working at one of the halfs
this week. Brandenberg’s ankle is bet
ter also and lie may be in shape to play
at the time of the Idaho game.
Huntington announced that the old
Kincaid field will probably be given up
for the soccer men. A practice field is
being made for the freshmen near that
of the varsity and all football men will
practice at these places.
“Bart” Spellman has not been at Ore
gon during the past week. He is in
Moscow getting a line on the Idaho play

ment by Kollin Woodruff, chairman of

lows:
“livery senior must be «t the"; senior
party tonight. In order to have every
member of tim class of 11)21 present, ft

Steers To Be Out On
Field For Game
This Morning:.
“Bill 'Steers is
back!”
Oregon’s fatuous
quarter, hero of
many famous gridiron
struggles -with the
the best teams of the
coast and east, cap*
tain of the Oregon
varsity eleven .thin
“Bill.” .vear, who decided tai#
summer not to return to school thisfsUf
arrived in Eugene ca'rly this morning*
ready to report for football practic*
when Coach Huntington sounds his call. '#
Bill Steers is hack! “Guess that’ll
put a different light on Oregon’s
chances,” said Shy. And who’lTdi*
agree!
football player who ev*t>
wore the lemon-yellow colors has eVWr
won as much national fame as Bill
Steers, sbar of many famous gridiron
Classics, the biggest point-winner in
each season he played on the vtttity)
who has fulfilled the prophecy mad* by
an old star of the gridiron game,* “H*
will be one of the best football playefa in
the coimtry.”
ia hole so far unfilled.
The return of Steers was uneipected
by all the students and the members of
'the team. He has been working in Th*
'Dalles, and did not intend to return to
college. 'Steers says himself that 1*
'.would have been to his own advantage
'to stay where he was, but. that he felt
that, he owed it to the school to return.
Bill Steers is probably one of the best
known football men who have attended
Oregon during recent years. He has al
ways been one of the mainstays of the
teams on which he has played, and it
was his stellar work last year that con
tributed greatly to the success of the
•Oregon varsity.
Steers played his first football at
Oregon in 1916 with the freshman tttd
of that year. In 1917 he was a member
(>f the varsity. He played with the Hate
Island marine team in 1918 and ICst
year was a member of the Oregon team.
He was elected captain of the team for
the 192f season at the close of the sea
son. No captain was elected this year
when Steers announced that he would not
return, as all hoped that he would change
his mind. He will take tup his wort as
captain at once.
Stews has always been noted for his
.kicking and punting. It was his drop
kick that made Oregon’s first score jin
the Orcgon-Harvard game last NdW
Year’s day at Pasadena. The punting of
Steers during the parts of the game in'
which he played was far better than any
that Harvard could produce.
“Shy” Huntington, coach of the Ore*
gnu varsity says, “I think that Steers
will be better than ever this year. - The
team will be greatly strengthened by the
return of Steers in all its departments,
lie is not only a good^kickcr but isihlso
a line pluuger and brokeufield runner
whom few can surpass.”
