Emerald •u '. - TUESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1920. NO. 48. me STRUGGLE 0.1. c. BIOS IN 2 TO 2 TIE Varsity Upsets Dope and Holds Aggies to Tie Game on Hayward Field. SEVERAL HOME MEN_ ~~ IN BAD CONDITION Teams More Evenly Matched Than in First Battie of Series. Not only did the Oregon soccer team upset the dope by holding the adept O. A. C. players to a tie score in the fierce ly contested game played on the slick turf of Hayward field Saturday after noon but twice Coach Dyment’s smooth ly working forward line penetrated the supposedly impregnable Aggie backfield and shot the ball under the bar for tal lies. Coach Wilkshire’s re-energized squad came back strong in the second half and the score in the second soccer contest between the two teams this year again ended Tn a tie„ this time 2-2. The Oregon team started with a slow ness that was far from pleasing to the’ several hundred rooters grouped in the chilly grandstand, but when the. initial rushes of the Aggie line bad been shat tered by the unerring boots of Koerberl and Patterson, fullbacks, and fighting] “Morgie” Staton, the spectators were re peatedly thrilled by the ever-increasing speed and fight’ of the Oregon players. Hardly had the game been in progress eTgbt minutes wjien King, playing inside right for Oregon, made the first score by outwitting tbe Aggie backs. Before the first half ended with a score of 2-0 in favor of Oregon. “Monte” Beyers winged the ball under the unrights for the other tally. Borgcnsen Makes Difficult Shot. Fighting mad and shorn of overconfi dence, the northerners cnme haek strong in the second half and frequently com pelled Coach Dyment’s men to resort to a defensive game. In a shot from a dif ficult angle, Borgensen. playing inside, right for O. A. O.. curved the ball against a goal post and scored when the ball rebounded over the Oregon line. Oifre. the former Spanish player who relieved T>avis, injured in the first half, scored the Aggies second and final tally with d! clear speedy shot past “Hay” Schmeor several minutes before tbe game ended. Tbe two teams appeared more evenly matched Saturday than in the first game played in Corvallis when the two squads battled for 70 minutes without either scoring. In that game the O. A. C. play ers were continually winging the muddy ball towards the Oregon goal and would have scored but for the stellar work of “Hay” Schmeer. Saturday tbe five Oregon backs worked nicely with only the seven-league boot of “Heinie” Koerber overshadowing tbe brilliant playing of his team mates. Staton played an ag gressive and persistent game at center halfback. Oregon’s forward line Showed up well against tlie skilled Aggie back field. McPherson, handicapped by a sprained ankle, and “Hube” Jaeobberger, crippled with an infected foot, worked hard on the outer fringe of Oregon’s at tacking force. “Al” Capps, playing his first game of sorrec, held down the piv first game of soccer held down the pivot line position at centre and played a nice game. Blightey” Merr.vfield playing right, fullback for the Aggie squad and bis team mates, Tannessee Snook and 1 ifre, hardly excelled the pretty work of their team mates.

PROBATION RULES TO BE RIGIDLY ENFORCED General Tightening Up Advocated By Committee and Changes to be Suggested. Probation rules will be made stricter, and will be more uniformly enforced, under a decision of the probation com mittee of the faculty at a meeting last ' ' uisht. at five o’clock in Dean Pyment's I | office. ! Dean Pyment was authorized to make j changes in the rules to be brought be-j I foi e the committee at their next meeting. with the object in mind of general j I tightening up on University scholar-' i ship. ( | The committee refused to let several j students off probation whose names had | I come up, and it was announced that a I -similar policy will be followed in the future. ] The matter of withdrawals will be j given full consideration in the changed rules, and under the new system it will be impossible to evade a failure by with- 1 drawing in the last part of the term. One or two members of the glee club who are on probation were refused per mission to participate in any tours or concerts during the Christmas holidays, as theoretically they are not off proba tion until the beginning of next term.

FIVE LETTED MEN LOST TO KITE FOB NEXT SEISON Steers, “Brick” Leslie, Mautz, Ward and Jacobberger Not To Return. PLACES OF VETERANS WILL BE HARD TO FILL Frosh Squad of This Year Will Have to Furnish Mate rial for 1921 Team. Five letter men will not be out .for football another season and the ranks in the varsity eleven will necessarily be filled with the recruits fron* this year's Frosh eleven. These five are Captain Bill Steers,'„“Brick” Leslie. “Fat” Mautz. Ed Ward and Jake Jacobberger. The loss of this quintet of stars is going to he keenly felt on the lemon-yellow eleven next season in spite of the fact that there is a wealth of green material from which to select their understudies in the Frosh squad of this year. In the loss of Captain Bill Steers, Ore gon will lose one of the greatest football men that ever played on a varsity eleven. Steers, the unanimous choice for the mythical ’Pacific coast all star team for the last two years, the quarterback choice for the third all-American team last year, has played his last season of college football. Played With Marines. Bill began his football career in his high school days at The Dalles. He played hin first gJilbe at Oregon with the Frosh team of. 1910, Working alternately with Bill Reinhart at quarterback. In 1917, Steer^ piloted the varsity eleven from the quarterback position. Id the fall of 1918, y^jiile in the service, he played with the famous Mare Island Ma rine team Which cleaned up about every thing on the coast. Returning to Oregon in 1919, Bill played a brilliant game at quarterback which earned him a place on the all-star teams and the captaincy of the Oregon eleven for the 1920 season. His work with the team this year was easily above the standard of last season, although he wras handicapped by arriv ing late in the season and not being in condition for the first two intercollegiate games. Leslie Another Veteran. “Brick” Leslie, who has held down the center position on the Oregon varsity eleven for three, seasons, is another play er of real ability Whose place in the Ore (Oontinued on Page 4.)

Pre-Registration of Old Students For Next Term Begun; Policy to Allow Time to Make Schedules Pro-registration for the winter term began yesterday and the winter term class schedules are now ready for distri bution at the Registrar's office. This will afford ample time for both profes sors and students to discuss arrange ments of classes before registration day, January 3. Under this new system, students will have a period of eleven days before the end of the present terra in which to con sult advisers whenever it is most con venient to all concerned. This is the first time that the class schedules have been made up so far in advance of registration day and accord ing to faculty members is due to the present efficiency and systein at the Reg istrar’s office which enabled them to ar range in a brief time the large number of class lists that are sent in from the I many departments that make up the Uni versity. It is hoped by those in charge of the registration that the students win take advantage of the additional time for con sultation and advise with their profes sors and thus he prepared to register quickly and in this way nvo.-i trie usual last minute rush on registration day Which in the past has caused many stu dents to lose much time by being com pelled to stand in line at the administra* ' tion building office. i In a faculty bulletin issued yesterday I particular attention is called to the rules j for registration procedure printed at the , end of the schedule and registration of ficials ask that all students become fa miliar with them and thus aid in keeping the administration departments free from congestion. COMMITTEES NAMED FOR CHRISTMAS BALL Plans for Dance to be Held at Multno mah Hotel December 28 Well Under Way. Plans are well under way for the Christmas college ball to be held at the Multnomah hotel in Portland on the night, of December 28. It is to be an all-uni versity affair and invitations have been sent to all the colleges on the coast. The committees in charge of the ball are: Ticket sales—Georgia Benson, chair man, Marion Lawrence* Elizabeth Lon don and Mary Alta Kelly. j Patrons and Patronesses — Eleanor Spall, chairman, Dorothy Duniway, iPhebe Gage, Anna May Bronaugh and Madeline,SJotboom. Publicity—Frances Habersham, chair man. Wanda Daggett, Geraldine King, Agnes Kennedy and Hope iMacKenzie. The tickets are on sale at the Co-op now at 75 cents apiece.

STUDENTS TAKE TREES WITHOUT PERMISSION - j Property Owner Voices Objection To Use of Shrubbery From ^ Nearby Tract. Three sophomores, John Gavin, Cur tis Phillips and John Pearson, appeared before the Student Advisory committee Friday to answer to charges brought by Dee Wright, supervisor of a tract of land just east of Eugene. The students, charged Mr. Wright, cut down and re moved two good sized trees from the property, which were used in the decora tions at the sophomore dance last might. Mr. Wright does not, object to having ,students make use of shrubbery upon the property for decorative purposes, but objected to the repeated incursions which have been going on of late. The matter was taken charge of by the sophomore class as the three men were acting as their authorized commit tee. During the hearing it developed that' Pearson was on probation, and had be i been a regular member of tbe sophomore committee would have been automatically expelled from the University for par ticipation in a student activity while on probation. It appeared, however, that he merely accompanied the committee as a volunteer and hence escaped dismissal. SENIOR BENCH PAINTED Smearing of Letters “0. A. C.” Not Aot of Collegians Is Belief. Black buggy paint was the material used by some vandal Sunday night to de-» fare the senior bench. The letters “O. A. C.” wpre smeared on the back of the bench and decorations of a similar nature were painted on the seat. A committee of frosh removed the paint yesterday noon. No clue has been found as to the iden tity of the party or parties who are re sponsible for the act, but student body officials think that the work was do/b by some high school students rather ■ than by anyone actively connected with O. A. C. or the University. Prunella” Well Received In Three Performances. With Saturday’s performance dosing a run of three days of “Prunella,” well received in every instance, the company’s schedule for this term has been com pleted. The one outstanding feature of the play was the quaint atmosphere that was I attained in its presentation. The light ing, the,costumes, the music and the scenery contributed to this as well as the manner in which the story is present ed by the playwright. Granville Bar ker. In the part of Pierrot, Norveil Thomp son starred as the leader of the mum mers, or wandering players. His inter pretation of the mannerisms and motives of the mummer prince was excellent, and he carried the play along with a swing that well fitted the performance. i With a part into which she fitted with ease and grace, Helen Casey, as Prun ella, captured her audience from the time she appeared for her lessons to the final scene. She was charming to see looking over the hedge at the passing mummers, and later, in her return as a begger girl she still carried the same beauty which surrounded her from (lie start. rrunella’s three aunts, stiff and digni fied, easily shocked, who kept her straight as a stick in the old garden, were played by Martha Rice, Loeta Rod gers and Dorothy Wootton. Introducing the play with a garden scene, Victor Setter, as the boy, and Claire Keeney, Ervin Ludeman and Reuel Moore, as gardeners, added great-. 1.V to the quaintness of the fantasy. All ■through the play the gardener’s boy gath ered chuckles with his “oh you little birds, now fly please.” Following Pierrot was his company of mummers, including Doris Pittenger, Marian Taylor, Irene Stewart, Marion Gilstrap, Harold Brown, George Stearns, John Canoles. Elgie Altiinus and Ford Wallace, Pierrot’s man. Frank .Tue, ns tenor, seranaded Prunella from the gar den. Adding to the humor of the play were .Helen Madden as Queer, and Wenoim Dyar, playing the part of Quaint. Their spats with the gardeners and the gar dener’s boy added to the effectiveness of the production. OREGON HALL IS CHILLY Classes Are Dismissed^ Heating Plant Proves Weak, The Education building began its week’s work with cold feet and gently chattering teeth yesterday morning. The heating plant refused to function with sufficient energy to send steam to that far distant arm of its domain. Classes, ineluding the whole University high school, had to he dismissed for the fore noon. Instructors in the building hope the malady of the heating plant will not become chronic. East year, the high school students had several extra holi days on account of cold rooms. I OREGON NOTTOPUT WORD NEXT YEAR IN GAME IKED Early Season Games Not Passed by Pacific Coast Conference Meeting. BUT THREE GAMES NOW ON VARSITY SCHEOUEI Two Games, California and Washington Will Be In Eugene, Says I#ist. Oregon will not play Stanford Univer sity in football nest year, aeeording to Marion McClain, graduate manager, who has returned from Berkeley, where with ' Professor H. C. Howe, Bill Hayward and Bart Spellman, he attended the meet ing of the Pacific coast conference. The game with Stanford was scheduled by a committee, which favored four confer ence games during the season, but just before the close of the conference, the delegates voted to go hack to the old three-game schedule. Oregon thus will not play Stanford nert year. Southerners Opposed. . Delegates from the northwest are said to have been opposed to the four gunb schedule, while those from the sonth favored it. The southern institutions, according to Oregon representatives, would play northern teams only early in the season. California and Stanford wished to play their game late in the sea son, demanding also a week’s rest before that game. This made it imperative (bat any games scheduled between the into southern institutions and those of tjie north be early in the season. .' Delegates from Oregon opposed this arrangement, arguing that tie earli|p opening date of the southern schools lowed teams representing those inhtitu tions much more time for training V.*\d preparation. According fi "an interview given last Saturday la Portland, “Shy” Huntington, Oregon mentor, said: “The northern elevens under the fouv game schedule arrangement would hhve met a California team at the tdp df’h# form, after she had a month and a half's practice, just when we ourselves were in the formative state and at our wpr«, Washington State was to have plhyefl California at Berkeley, October 22, That couldn’t have been anything but a gift to California, which would have been in full stride while Washington State would only have been starting the season. Ore gon was to havet raveled to Palo Alto gon was to have, traveler) to Palo Alio though we played her there this season, ’ and come home for a game the very neat Saturday against California. That would have been another gift to California." Announcement Wrong. The four-game schedule was definitely tabled this year, and the old three-game arrangement adopted. The game witicb Oregon was to have played with Stanford was never arranged, although previously announced as officially scheduled. The revised schedule is as follows: October 29—California, at Eugene. ■ November 12—Washington, at Seattle. November 1D-—O. A. C. at Eugene. Graduate Manager McClain announced last night that other games, will be sched uled soon with members of the northwest conference, and opssibly with a nori conference team. U. of W. May Drop Gama. University of Washington, Seattle, December 4.—That the scheduled foot ball game with O. A. C. at Corvailip next season may have to be dropped way the word returned by Darwin Meiseest, grad uate manager of the A. S. TJ. W. from the Pacific coast conference meeting. Inability of obtaining a unanimous vote on a four - game policy is the reason given; Oregon withholding consent to enter in an agreement that would give its schedule four conference games in stead of three. In the event that Oregon cancels its game with California, it is believed all conference games on that date will be dropped and Washington will be free to line up a home game for a stustitute. SWEATER DRIVE PLANNEO. The University of Nevada is preparing to launch a drive to secure funds to pay for the sweaters which are to be award ed to the football men at* the end of the season.
