Bohler, Basketball Coach, Likes
Oregon Spirit; Knew It of Old
XTRODUCIXft (}. M. P.OIILKR, gym
instructor of ^he I'niversity of Ore
gon and varsity basketball coach who
knows more about Oregon spirit than
tlic Oregon students themselves.
For you see, in 1914 Bolder came to
Oregon as a member of the AV. S. ('.
basketball coaching staff. That year W.
*'• C. beat Oregon and beat her badly.
"Rut you’d never have known it,’’ says
Bolder. “The ' Oregon students carried
on as though they had won the game. To
hear the yelling they did you'd never
gueas they’d been defeated.”
And now Bolder is coaching basketball
at Oregon, with prospects, lie says, of
'turning out a team as good —■ and he
hopes just a little better—than any on
the coast. But between his days at W.
ft. C. and Oregon is a long story —- the
stb/y of the war. For -*• 1 months he
was overseas as atheletic officer at
tached to the headquarters of the 2nd
army military police corps.
‘We didn’t have any athletic equip
ment,” he says with a grin in speaking
of the athletic activities of the second
army. “The boys played baseball with
' out gloves; used soft balls; and whittled
paddles for bats!”
Originally Bolder hails from Reading,
Pennsylvania — as he puts it himself—
a regular Pennsylvania Dutchman. He
did considerable athletic work among
prep schools before he went to XV. S.
He’s here now to stay, and by the
way he says he likes Oregon, you know
1 he means it.

PENALTIES FIXED BY
SCHOOL OF COMMERCE
Faculty Passes Drastic Regulations Cov
ering Cuts of Classes for
Rally Dances
At a meeting of the faculty jtt the
school of commerce, held Monday after
noon. the following penalties were de
cided upon for students who cut their
classes to attend unauthorized rallies
and dances, such as occurred Monday.
The daily grade for the class cut is to be
zero, the cut will count, as an uuexeused
absence, and the student is to be posted
in the course, this post to be in addition
to anyothat may be already standing
against the student in that course.
Every member of the faculty expressed
his, unqualified endorsement of all legiti
mate student activities and started that
students should lie encouraged to repre
sent the University. They expressed the
opinion however, that the commerce in
students who neglected their classes to
participate in an unauthorized rally and
dance were not doing their team an hon
or, but were so jeopardizing their own
scholastic standing in the school that
the faculty felt it a duty to establish ]
some severe form of penalty. ^
Women’s League Dinner At
Homecoming’ Success.
More than two thousand persons were
fed at the women’s league campus
luncheon Saturday noon, Good manage
ment on the part of the committee pre
vented any confusion and the luncheon
was- decidedly a success, according to
the opinions of many guests.
Ruth Ulegjtil was general ehaiwnnn of
the luncheon, which is given annually by
women’s leaghe. Her committee con
sisted of: Properties, Elinor Coleman;
food, Emma Garbage and Florence Fu
ruset; serving, Wanda Daffett; arrange
ment of tables, Glenn Frank; cleaning up.
Alice Curtis. Working with these girls
were committees headed by the members
of the general committee.
Mrs. Edna P. Datson. house director
of Hendricks and Friendly halls, is re
ceiving much praise for the assistance
given the committee. Through her kind
ness in allowing the use of the Friendly
hall kitchen, the hot, fresh coffee was
made possible. Miss Flegal als) wishes
to thank all who took part in any way
toward making the luncheon a success.
The total cost of the luncheon has not
as yet been ascertained, but will amount
to approximately $3»0. which expense is
covered by the tax paid by student body
members last week. Freshman women
furnished the sandwiches.
MISS LEACH RECEIVES
BIRTHDAY SURPRISE
Regular Weekly Architecture Assembly
Is Devoted To Entertaining
When Jliss Camilla Loach, art librar
ian, came to the architecture assembly
Tuesday, expecting to discuss budgets,
she found it changed into a mend- sur
prise party in honor of her birthday.
The feature of the evening was file
grave, bathrobe-clad Hindu - Kamasaki.
whom no one could guess was Professor
Adams. With McAlister acting as his
interpreter he held communion with the
spirits and told the members to present
anything they wanted to know. When
someone asked him to tell what he was
holding McAlister queried, “Have you
anjinkling’ of what this is?’ and he would
prompely reply “A fountain pen.”
Dean Lawrence sent Miss Leach a
beautiful boquet of violets and roses,
while the faculty presented her with a
desk lamp.
Amusement was later provided by the
drawing of each other’s pictures. Pro
fessor Schroff, 'drawing Miss Leach, won
the first prize of a gold medal fthe top
of a tin can painted gold) and Professor
Runquist won the second price but in
his bashfulness he escaped unrewarded.
And that is why it was later presented
to him in front of his whole evening
class.

Tlio seniof* class, at a raeetihg held last

lowing a somewhat heated discussion
between the merits of the deploma and
a small parchment diploma in a leather

Students To Help In County
Drive; Dollar Is Cost.
The annual Red Cross drive in pro
gress throughout the country this week
will receive official campus recognition
today with the selection of a chairman
of a cpmmittee that will have charge of
all University contributions. This ac
tion was taken at the request of Judge
St. P. Skipwortb of Rugeue, Red Cross
chairman of the drive for Lane county,
wjio appeals to the student body of the
University to carry on a campus cam
paign iior contributions to the fund.
This annual financial drive of the Red
Cross organization is for the purpose not
only of obtaining funds to carry on the
work of the ensuing year but to interest
and enlist the sympathy of the publi
in its various activities in the way of
aid and social service. 1
In addition to its war activities the
|Red Cross organization through its vari
ous branches carries on a world-wide
work of relief, prevention of disease, and
home social service little known to the
general public on account of being over
shadowed by its more spectacular war
work.
The national organization is constant
ly prepared for any emergency in the
way of fire, flood, or other calamity and
all relief work is put into operation un
der their direction.
As all the funds of the Tied Cross de
pend on public contributions and the an
nual membership dues of $1.00 n gen
erous public response is expected from
the nation-wide appeal.
OPENINGS IN ORCHESTRA.
The regular orchestra has many open
ings which need to be filled add anyone
who plays either a. wind or string in
strument of any kind may become eligible
by entering the practice orchestra. Va
cancies will be filled from this practice
orchestra only, so Mr. Underwood urges
that all players, with a desire to become
members of the regular University or
chestra support the practice orchestra.
i Appearance of “Gap” Powell
In Line-up Unexpected;
Little Difference Made
By Change.
MUDDY FIELD MAY
GIVE AID TO AGGIES
Fight for Berths on Lemon.
Yellow Squad Goes
Merrily On.
And now comes the report from the
O. A. C. campus that “Gap” Powell-, the
Aggies’ star fullback, who was supposed- °
ly laid on the shelf for the rest of the
season when he received injuries in the
game with the Washington eleven the
early part of the season, will be in the
backfield when the Aggies meet Oregon
Saturday. Contrary to what might be
expected, this is not taken as a shock or
h surprise by the Oregon team or
coaches, and the question is what will
be the difference with Powell in the line
up? In the opinion of football author
ities in the northwest, Powell played on
his repuation this year what little play
ing he did do.
IV hen Powell played his first year with
the O. A. C. first, string eleven he play
ed his best game and Inst year the only
contest in which the big star loomed up
very strongly was the battle with Ore
gon. Powell was good for some yardage
gains through the Oregon line last sea
son. In the game against the S»n. Dod
gers in Seattle {his season Powell
seemed lacking in his old punch and
drive. ' .
Powell Hurt Kneai.
Coach Allison did not think a great
deal of the work of Powell this season
and it was Allison’s team which put Pow
ell out of commission for a few weeks.
The Aggies have a lot of confidence in
1 “Gap” Powell and his playing , In the
past has earned him this confidence. He
was brought home from Seattle with his
knee in a plaster cast and a knee has
to do some almost miraculous healing
to get back into shape ia such a short
time to stand the gaff of one of the
hardest games of the year. Powell will
probably be in the line-up against Ore
gon Saturday, and it will be Powell’s
only chance to show whether he has the
punch this season.
| The driving rain which has been hahg
! ing on during the practice hour each
afternoon has made the workouts very
| disagreeable for Huntington’s men. But.
it may continue over the week-end and
then of course it will be an advantage to
have tho rain now. A wetoball, wet suits
and a sea of.mud are hardly ideal prac
tice conditions, hut I,hc worst sea <jf mu3
in Eugene could not be worse than the
Aggie gridiron after a few hours of rain.
A slippery sliding mess will he about the
best way to characterize the game at
Corvallis Saturday if the rain keeps up.
Positions Are Contested. ,
The only two changes which appear
possible in the Oregon line-up for the
battle with the Aggies are the left half
back position and the right wing posi
tion. Reinhart and Mead are battling
it out for the left half berth and it is
yet a matter of speculation as to who
will start in this capacity. On the
right end berth the battle seems to be
between “Rud” Brown and Neil Mor
filt, with both of them working there
during practice. It is probable that,
both of these men will work at end dur
ing the game, although the coaches are
Jliot announcing who will start.
The heavier weight of the Aggie line
will give them an advantage in the game
at Corvallis and the Oregon eleven is
taking no chances from this angle. A
wet Corvallis gridiron is an advantage
and even though the dope might show
that Oregon is about two fouehdowus
faster than O. A. C. this does not mean
that they will be that much better in the
game. The Oregon-O. A. C. game will
(beyond a doubt he one of the hardest
fought battles that Coach Huntington’s
eleven will take part in this season. But
Oregon fight never failed against the
Aggies and it will not fall Saturday. If
the O. A. C. eleven wins it will be in the
breaks, not because Oregon does not
fight.
