Mme. McGrew’s Mother Wanted Her
To Be Red-Haired Opel a Singer
INTRODUCING
M’GKEW.
.MADAME DOS K
Madame McGrew. was a great comfort
to her mol her. Her mother wanted her
to be au opera, singer and red-haired.
"•So” says Madame Melt row. "1 came in
to the world with a loud squawk, fiery
hair and a fiery temper, and I still have
all three.”
The infant “squawk.” however, devel
oped into a soprano voice ihnt has sung
to thousands and lias eighty operas in its
repertoire. She is now held of the
voice department of the school of music
at, Oregon.
As a little high school girl with a pig
tail down her back, she went tlirye thou
sand miles across to Germany, without
any- of her family, to study music. She
belongs originally in Ohio, but her pat
ents moved to Denver when she was
quite small. After she had gone.to high
school there a year and a half she went
/abroad with a friend who was interested
in her voice, to study.
Arrived in Germany she did not know
the language, did not know any people,
and it was almost, too far to come home
for week-ends. So she learned the lan
guage, made friends, and did the one
thing she wanted to do—studied music.
All of her singing has been done in Ger
many, excepting only short appearances
in Denver and Eugene. She is intensely
American, and finds it amusing that
even yet her musical terms come to her
in German and she has to pause to think
what the English, is.
“Please don’t forget to say that I
kept an American flag draped over my
piano all the time I was there," she
smiled.

TOWN III OBSERVANCE
OF ARMISTICE MY
Dean Dyment. Makes Address
at Armory; Major Baird
Presents Medals.
R. 0. T. C. BATTALION IS
PROMINENT IN PARADE
Students and Faculty in Line
of March; Spirit of Me
morial Rules.
.Standing in silence with bowed heads
for one minute in honor of the men who
have died in the service, of their coun
try. tlie citizens of Eugene and students
of the University of Oregon at the Arm
istice Day program in the Armory yes
terday morning expressed their feeling
that the day of gratitude and jubilation
should be intermingled with respect for
the fallen warriors. Dean Colin V. Dy
ment, the principal speaker on the pro
gram. emphasized the significance of
t he minute of memorial in the opening
of his address by saying: “How fitting
it is that in the eleventh hour of the
eleventh day of the eleventh month, now
and throughout the centuries, the men
and women of America should pause to
consider the events of IMS.”
Dean Dyment pronounced Armistice
Day, 1918, the greatest day in American
history since 1776. lie said that the
day was yet too new in the national life
to have taken on its final significance.
“It is celebrated with fervor, but its
meaning is still unfixed.” said Dean
Dyment. “What is its spirit to be? Is
it to be merely another holiday? Is it
to be a triumphal day? A day of grat
itude for ojjr deliverance?- A day of*
meuioriftl? Or a day of self consecra
tion to the service of the republic.”
Not a Day for Gloating.
Ip later remarks in bis speech to the
large audience which crowded the chilly
Armory, Dean Dyment said Armistice
Day was too portentous and too sacred
to be devoted to gloating over a fallen
foe, but must for some time yet remain
a. day of gratitude for deliverance and
especially a day of gratitude to those
who made sarcifice, whether at home or
abroad.
Ben Dorris, commander of the Lane
County post of the American Legion,
paid a tribute to Dean Dyment. who
was searcher with the 01st Division in
France, and Belgium, by saying that
out of the 1500 men who were killed in
the division, details were known in the
eases of all hilt 1.” or 11. Air. Dorris
said said it was through Dean Dymcnt’s
untiring efforts ’ that this remarkable
record was made. The materia! was ob
tained on the field and in the company
billets.
Grateful for Deliverance.
Concluding his address, Dean. Dyment
spoke on the ultimate significance of
Armistice Day. We have lost the feel
ing of triumph, if ever we had it. We
are grateful for our deliverance, but the
memory of the shadow will some day
grow dim. We revere our dead, as we
shall ever do; but as years go on. the
names of the dead will pass and they
,will become one collective memory as of
; those who died in the Civil war.
“But Armistice Day will go on —• per
haps for ever. I pray it may not de
generate into merely another holiday. I
call upon all men and all women as the
years go on to consecrate themselves
anew each Armistice Day, and increas
ingly, to the service of the republic.”
Victory Medals Presented.
Following Dean Dyinent’s address,
Major Raymond C. Baird presented
eleven men with victory medals, and
two veterans, Norval W. Orr and Estell
B. Berryman, were presented with four*
raguerres, the French military citation.
In the parade which preceded the
program, the University It. O. T. U. bat

j splendid appeurance made, -and deuion
I strated to the neopie of Eugene the pro*
! gross made by the military department of
the University. This was the first time
that the corps took part in anything

their place at the head of the parade, go

on Hayward field yesterday aftehnoon.
During the entire game the fresh showed
their superiority to the Aggie delegation
and at. no time during the battle was
there any. doubt as to the outcome. The
O. A. C. Babes put up a good fight, how
ever. and did not give in until the last
whistle blew. .
The field was very slippery, due to the
rain which began to fall about noon. This
.fact slowed up the game. The struggle
was marked by fumbles on both sides,
but tlie rain seemed to injure the \j-ork
of the O. A. C. men more than that of
the Oregon frosb. O. A. C. tried numer
ous passes but due to the slippery con
dition of the ball only one was com
pleted, and that for no gain.
Burton Bucks Over.
Captain “Kenny” Burton of the frosb
opened the game by kicking off to O. A.
C. Bute Gill of the O. A. O. team took
the ball back for twenty yards through a
broken field and was downed by Burton.
On the first down O. A. C. fumbled and

ball the team begin to move toward the
O. A. C. goal again. iParsons showed
himself a good prospect for future var
sity teams in his plunging through the j
O. A. C. line. The rooks couldn’t seem
to stop him. Burton carried the ball
over for the first Oregon score. Par
sons kicked goal. Burton kicked off
again. The rooks were held for three

21 Sundodgers Headed By
Stub Alison Coming for
Big Battle.
BOTH TEAMS SEEM
IN BEST OF CONDITION
Huntington Expects Hard
Fight But Will Make No
Predictions.
Twenty-one University of Washington
football players accompanied by their
coaching staff, headed by Head Coach
"Stub" Allison and Assistant Coach
“Wee” Coyle, will arrive in Eugene this
morning, primed for (he big annual Ore
gon-Washington battle which will take
place on Hayward field tomorrow after
noon. The team will go through a light
signal practice this afternoon on the
Oregon gridiron after which they will
rest up from their trip, and get: into the
best, possible shape for the fray.
The Oregon eleven went through a
two hours signal workout on the practice
gridiron yesterday morning getting the
final touches for the big eontfet. The
last scrimmage practice was held Wed
nesday evening and for tonight only a
short signal workout will be held. Coach
Hunfington appears to be well satisfied
with the outlook aud although lie is not
making any predictions on the outcome,
the Washington eleven will have some
battle on their hands to vanquish Ore
gon fight tomorrow afternoon.
Mead and Chapman Worked.
Coach Huntington worked Steers at
quarter, King at full aud Mead aud Chap
man at halves to start signal practice
yesterday. During the* morning he also
.used Hill and Jacobbcrgpr at halves aud
lteinhart at quarter. % The line-up in the
hack field will in all probability be first
mentioned quartet.
In a tentative line-up given out from
the Washington training quarters, the
Sundodgers have a line averaging in
weight 179 pounds; this is the same
average weight that Coach Huntington’s
line will tip the scales at. According to
the dope from the North, Allison will
use a baekficld weighing a 136 pounds.
Huntington’s backs will aggregate an
average of 166 pounds which should
mean something in the drive.
Abel May Lead Foe. 0
Abel, who piloted the Sundodgers
against the lemon-yellow eleven last
year may play the quarterback position
Saturday, the rest of the baekficld will
be made up of Eckmann, Harper and
Butler. Of this quartet three are let
ter men, Abel, Eckmann and Butler are
all playing their third year with the
Washington varsity. Tn the Oregon
baekficld will be two letter men, Captain
“Bill” Steers, who is playing bis third
year with the varsity and Chapman who
made his letter last year.
In the Washington line will be Dailey,
Clark, Smith aud Pope and possibly
‘Faulk, "who are letter men. The Ore
gon line will he Howard, “Spike” Les
lie, Muntz and possibly “Brick” Leslie
who are letter men. The rest of Hunt
ington’s line is made up of green ma
terial.
Sundodgers Who Are Coming.
The following men are making the
triti from Seattle with the Sundodgers’
sqaud: Dailey, Clark, Bryan, Smith,
Pope, Ingram, llogge, Abel, Eckmann,
Butler, Harper, Captain Faulk. Furs
man, Haynes, Hindman, Glenn Greene,
Turner, Wilson, Porep and Peterson.
The condition of “Brick” Leslie who
was taken to the infirmary Wednesday
' with a case of tonsilitis is reported much
better and it is vet possible that “Brick”
will be in the line-up at the pivot posi
tion against the Northerners,
i The team appears to be in the best
of shape for the battle, aud Washington
is not suffering from injuries. With a
continued rain, the field may not he ns
fast as the couches desire, hut the turf
is still pretty solid aud Oregon’s speedy
backs will not be hampered from this
source.
