TEAM WORKING HARD IN IDEAL WEATHER Coaches and Play*ers Filled With Fight for Coming Grid Struggle. lid Ward, who has been handling the j left guard position will be out of the Washington game this work following j an X-ray examination last night which j disclosed a broken collar hone. The in-] jury was received in the Stanford game at Palo Alto but was not thought to he serious by Ward, although it has been bothering him a great deal. As to who will handle the guard position left open by Ward's injury will depend upon the showing made by “Scotty” Strachan and Floyd Shields, both of whom ha ye been working well in practice. Ward is not expected to be able to play again before i the O. A. C. game and possibly not thou. Ideal weather conditions have been favoring Coach Huntington and his pro- I leges this week and some excellent prnc-1 tice is the result.

No Ghost Ball Yet. The ghost hall has made it* appear ance on the Washington gridiron but. Conch Huntington does not believe in resorting to after-darkness practice un lil absolutely imperative. The scrim mage practice tonight will be the last of the week and the coaches and team will rest on their oars with a light sig nal workout to get up an appetite, until the big game Saturday. The Oregon coaching staff and the players arc not confident of winning over the Washington eleven, but there is a grim determination on the face of every one of Coach Huntington's squad when ihe chances of the team in Saturday’s game are mentioned. The team is de termined that if Washington wins if will only be after tlio battle of their lives. The team Is working like a maehine and the, plays are run off in clock like precision. There are no bear stories emanating from the training quarters and the team will be in first class shape to meet the invaders this week. Hill Back at Work. “Frankie” Hill, the lightning halfback who was injured in the Stanford game, and also received a bad injury in prac tice last week has recovered sufficient ly to be able to scrimmage, and. this week, has been working in his old posi-1 tion in scrimmage against the scrub! eleven. “Fat” Mautz. who lias also been | (Continued on Page 2) Professor Who Gave Opal Whiteley Condition in Course in 1917 Writes Appreciation of Her Work in 1920 (With tlio "Story ot Opal.” the diary of Opal Whiteley, wonder-child of the Oregon woods and former student of the T'niversit.v of Oregon, creating, in book form, a literary furore in Knglnnd and America, the Emerald asked W. F. G. Thaeher. professor of rhetoric, one of Opal’s former instructors here, to write liis impression of her work. Professor Thaeher has graciously complied, in the interesting appreciation which follows: —Editor.) Ill spite of (lie embarrassment which clouds the honor that l feci in being asked to write a review of Opal White ley’s Diary, I cannot deny that there is something of poetic justice in the task. In 1917, Opal, then a sophomore in the University, with ft condition in freshman English to remove, entered my course in “Short Story Writing.” Because she failed to perform the required assign ments. she was given a “condition.” To day — in 1920 — her “Diary,” famous throughout the English-speaking world, is plaeedton the shelves of the Univer sity library, and Opal Whiteley’s name .shines lustrously among the literary .luminaries of the year. Her book is published — and vouched for — by one of the most fastidious edi tors in America — Ellery Sedwick, of the esoteric Atlantic, appearance in whose exclusive pages is an achievement denied to hundreds of professors of English. The American edit ion is sponsored by one of the * best: known university presidents of the world — David Starr Jordan, honorary head of Stanford. The English edition is published with a preface by Viscount Grey of Falloden, one of the world’s greatest statesmen. Truly, a prophet is not without honor. Perhaps the readers of this review— which is not a “review” at all, but an at tempt at an appreciation — will look for a resumption of the controversy which raged so hotly at the time of the first appearance of the Diary in the At lantic. If so. they will he disappointed. | The writer, for this occasion at least, has exercised his will to believe, and lias' accepted the book at its face value. Tt is no present concern of bis whether Opal wrote itlie diary as a child or in later years: or whether her curious be lief in an angel father and mother is a matter of fact or a “fantasy.” Those skilled in investigation, and with the evidence close at hand, have failed to reach a definite conclusion. And cer tainly Opal is entitled ito he believed 1n nocent until she is proved guilty. The discussion is interesting, and not with out its ethical implications. Hut the book remains. Shakespeare may not have written Hamlet. Who cares? The man who wrote Hamlet IS Shakespeare. The diary of Opal is a breathing palpi tant record of the inner life of a highly sensitive child — a document so poig? nant in its revelation of inner experi ence that its counterpart is hardly to he found in all literature. Many chil dren — perhaps most — are as sensi tive as Opal; a few may he as poetically imaginative; but to these qualities Opal added the priceless gift of expression— that gift which alone will unseal the lips of mute inglorious Miltons — whether they be children or adults. To do more than to suggest the con tents of the book would be to rob the. reader of the delight of discovery, lie must not be denied the joy of entering Opal’s -world, of making the acquaint ance of her small menagerie of pets; of going with her, hand in hand, on “ex plores,” into the dim cathedral recesses' of the forest; of all her comings and go (Continued on Page 3.) SENIORS TO GIVE $25 TO FIREWORKKS FUND Class Members Urged to Have Pictures Taken for Oregana by Last of Month. The peppiest senior meeting- of the year, according to George Hopkins, pres ident of the class, was that held in Pro fessor II. C. Howe’s room in Villard hall Monday night. Over 200 of the senior's turned'out. It was announced that all senior pic tures for the Oregana must be taken be fore the end of the month and the pres ident wishes special emphasis put on that point. Also it was announced that those seniors wishing cards for their commencement announcements must see Robert Karl, treasurer of the class, with in two weeks, and it was suggested that, by ordering both cards and announce ments now u considerable saving could be made. Several members of the class gave short talks on “Oregon Spirit” and on activities and a report was made by the commencement announcement committee and their selection voted on. They also voted that the senior class give $25 for the Homecoming fireworks. Hale and Hearty Is Hale-Real Filler on Athletic Teams of P. U. INTRODUCING WII.LLUI G. HALE, I (loan of the law school. He is of a generous rather than an ! athletic build. The term "willowy’’ was ! never applied to him even in his college days at Pacific University, so he says, hut in an unguarded moment he let him self he persuaded to go out l'or track. "Of course I couldn’t run.” he paused 1,1 laugh, "but they used me for a filler. One time they put me in the 2*_'0 yard dash. By the time I got to the goal post there was such a crowd there 1 couldn’t get through. The race had been over for some time.” His athletic career thus terminated, he decided his abilities lay in another field. Turning to debate lie won glory for himself and his school us the cham pion non-stop talker. In 1U0.’> he led a debate team which won a unanimous de cision over the U. of * >■ Perhaps that 's where he got the idea of arguing for a living. Anyway he went back to llar 'urd and studied law for three years. Then In* liad an awful time deciding between Oregon and Illinois. He came to Portland and practiced law for four years, went to Illinois and taught in tlio law school for two years, came to Port land and practiced law for one year, went to Illinois and taught for eight years, came to Portland*— let’s begin a new sentence. He was on his vacation. lie landed in Portland on Saturday, was of fered the position of dean of the law school at Oregon, and on the following Wednesday accepted the offer. lie lias decided on Oregon for goud now, and be says in reality his heart has always been here. He has set some definite tasks which he wishes the law school to accomplish. To secure a higher standard for entrance to the bar in this state, to keep the law school in close touch with the bar for their mutual benefit, to publish a law school bulletin, these are a few things he hopes to attain. t M.

CHANGE II VARSITY DEBITE TEAM MIDE - j John Canolle Held Ineligible Under Conference Rule. A change in the personnel of the vur- ] sity debate team has been made because j it was found by the conference rules that .John Canolle was not eligible as he has not been matriculated at Oregon for three months.- This will prevent his taking part in either the debate with Heed or O. A. C. but he will probably be a member of the team which meets 1’riuceton. Ilis place has been filled by Carl Meyer, who won. a place us alter nate in the try-outs. Debates have been scheduled with Heed college and O. A. C. for Decem ber 10. The affirmative team, Remey Cox and Ralph Iloeber, will meet . the Reed team at Guild halt and Kenneth Armstrong and Carl Meyer, the nega tive team, will meet O. A. C. at Cor vallis. Definite arrangements for the debate with Princeton have not j et been made, as no reply has been received since the Oregon student body wired their accept ance of the terms which Princeton sub mitted. These terms were that Prince ton be allowed to choose the subject for the debate, and that Oregon should have the choice of the side of the question* Since Princeton is planning debate.; with both Washington University and the University of Southern California on their western trip, it is expected that the same question will be used for all these meets. Definite news from Prince ton is expected this week. Abe Rosenberg, who was chooseu as an alternate, has dropped because of heavy school work. Some one of those who had a high score at the try out will be chooscn to fill his place. *-----* | Sigma Upsilon To ! Present Neophytes; \ | Will Dodge Omelets | Perched behind dilapidated type-* writers ou the library steps follow ing the 10:00 o’clock classes this morning will appear three strange ly attired individuals. Bother them not with dubious encased ome lettes, for they are neophytes of Ye Tabard Inn chunter of Sigma T'psi lon. national literary fraternity, who will condescendingly tickle the let tered keys with onija-like caresses In order to communicate with the shade of the lute Win. Nhakespeure. The gentlemen wearing the mioeemi dress suits around the campus today are Stanley Eisiuau, Phil Brogan, and Allan Carneross. The spiritual communications, camouflaged as poetical witticisms, will be declaimed to the honored audience through the mediums of the • neophytes just as the moon enters the sacred realms of the solar lumin ary at 10:00 o’clock sharp. As a precaution against the prob ability that the departed bard of Avon might desire to express his opinion of the recent presidential discussions, a mundane time limit of five minutes per poet has been placed on the neophytes.

The men'are in better condition for the contest than at any other time this season, according to Coach Bart lett.

The end berths are being held down by Jess Dig man and Whipple. Whipple was word ing at ono of the halves until the begin ning of this week, lteed and King fire still playing the tackles. These men have held their positions from the start of the season and are both steady, con sistent players. McKeown and Byler are the guards. McKeown was tried at a ta'-kle at the first of the year but wfw hardly fast enough for that plac?. Line Coach Williams shifted hitn to a guard and be has been doing much better. By ler bus been at the other guard all sea son. . Bill Johnson is still at center. John son looks like future varsity material. He is good at breaking through the line and stopping an attaek.

He is , new getting back in fine shape and will bic able to play the game Thursday. Par sons is one of the best ground-gainers on the teum. He has played his pli^te ail season.

Oregon Spirit Is Awakened By Spontaneous Rally Outburst Impromptu Affair “Like the Good Old Days;” Shy Promises Fight. “This is the luoiit wonderful rally that I have ever seen,” was the comment of Shy Huntington, Oregon football men tor, as he witnessed, an outburst of Ore gon Spirit seldom, if ever, seen on the campus. At seven o’clock students poured si multaneously from every fraternity, so rority and dormitory; students stream ed from the library and private homes, until hundreds gathered at Villard hall and gave vent to the uncoutrolable cu- I thusiasm that raged within each per son. As the crowd gathered momentum, me rubers of the football team were pick- 1 ed up one by one. and hurried along, J As the football Squad filed in und took their places on the platform, the I yelling increased until the very halls of old Villard shook. Huts were thrown high into the air, and a hmvliing mob kept Shy and Hill waiting for many min utes before they would let them speak. After being cheered time and again Shy managed to say, how great it was to know that the students were bebiud the team. He. promised to take back every thing that he had ever said about stu dent spirit at Oregon. He ended, ‘‘If Washington beats this outfit it will be the battle of their lives.” When Bill Hayward was called upon, the hall became a pandemonium of noise. lie. stood on the platform waiting for nearly ten minutes, and as soon as he would say something the yelling would resume. Tho message which he gave to the students was that the team was going to do their very best- to win the game Saturday. “I’ll bet a dollar that Bill Hayward is sitting up there chuckling to himself, a half a dollar that Shy’s temples arc glowing with pride, and thirty cents that the team is all puffed up to know that the students are behind them,” was the way Johnnie. Houston expressed it. “We’re going to give Washington the hurdest fight they ever had,” said Bart Spe'llman, who compared this rally with some of the rallies in the old days. Speaking for the team, Bill Steers stated that they hud been afraid that the stu dents were not behind them, but that this Tully was the best thing that could possibly have happened, “I get a kick out of walking up here and heariug you holler,” came from Ken Bartlett who defined Oregon spirit as the unexpected. “This is the real Ore gon spirit,” he said. Carlton Savage also told about Ore> gou spirit, and Johnnie Houston made some filial arrouncements for Home coming arrangements. He said that everything would come off smoothly if every student would tako it upon him self to see that it did.
