Oregon Daily Emerald o ° o ____ r VOLUME XXIII. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, THURSDAY. OCTOBER 20, 1921 NUMBER IT " , ' ______ RAILROADS GRANT i * -, 'i Fare and One-half Allowed For Return Trip From Oregon Points BLEACHER CONTRACT LET Dan Fisher jto Erect Stands For 5500; Cost To Be About $2800 By FLOYD MAXWELL Reduced railroad rates to alumni who attend the annual Homecoming game in Eugene, November 19, have been granted by the railroad lines according to a report made by graduate manager Jack Benefiel, to the executive coun cil, at their regular meeting yesterday afternoon. The negotiations for the reduced rates have been going on all summer, and the decision was reached in a conference of the railroad rep resentatives held Monday. Benefiel was notified yesterday, and his report enthusiastically received by the mem bers of the council. The new ruling will affect all the railroad lines in Oregon, which include the Oregon Electric, the Southern Pacific, the Union Pacific, Oregon” Trunk, Spokane, Portland and Seattle road and other tributary lines. The rates granted call for fare and one half, providing the going fare is in excess of 67 cents. Sale dates to start November 16, and to continue to No vember 19, with the return limit, No vember 23. New Bleachers on North End The contract for the erection of an additional section of bleacher seats for the game was awarded by the Executive council to Dan Fisher. The contract calls for a section of bleachers 480 feet long, around the north end of Hay ward field. These will be 16 seats high and will accommodate 5,500 people. The expenditures will be about $2800 on the new section. The advisability of building the bleachers has been under consideration for some time and it was thought that the Board of Regents might assist in the erection. It was found that this was impossible at this time and the Associated Students will shoulder the financial expenditure as a result. The income from student tax this year i3 said to have exceeded that of last year by about $3500 and it is expected that this amount will be thrown to the fund for building the new bleachers. Leased wire Reports The action of the Emerald and Sigma Delta Chi in securing the leased wire reports of the Oregon-California game to be played Saturday, was endorsed by the council and they were given official sanction to handle the reports for the student body. The possibility of a football game with the University of Wisconsin to be played in Wisconsin in 1922 was dis cussed and referred to the football activities committed for their action on the recommendation. That all activities committees will be required to submit their financial bud gets before the next meeting of the Executive Council, November 2. was decided yesterday at the session of the Council. This matter was declared to be one of utmost importance and in harmony with the effective function ing of the new constitution. The bud get will be required for the fall terms. New Letter Plan Offered A committee consisting of Marc Lathafm, Dean J. E. Bovard, and D. Walker, was appointed to investigate a plan of awarding letters or sweaters to men who put in four years of work in a major sport but who fail to make their letters. The plan was suggested at the last meeting that three members of the track squad who have been working for four years, but who failed to make their letters, be awarded a sweater. The track committee to which the matter was referred, reported through their chairman, Glenn Walklev, ♦hat they did not wish to set a prece dent in the matter and would prefer a thorough investigation of a policy for all lines of sports. This committee will report at the next meeting of the coun cil. Couch to Manage Glee The appointment 'of Half Couch as manager of the Girl’s Glee Club for the current year was ratified by the Coun il. The contract for the printing of the Oregon Daily Emerald by the Univer sitv Press, was ratified by the Council. The graduate manager’s report1 of the financial returns from football games this year was read and filed. “Haircuts for Women” Cry of Revolution Bevolt! Feminism to the front! No more suppression of women! Is this really the war cry of the women major ing in journalism? They are quiet about it to be sure, no bricks have been thrown nor red flags waved on high but there is an ever nearing rumble of re volt. “You never can tell what these women will do next” was the way one man expressed his doubt. The first alarm was sounded in the editing class when at Dean Allen’s re quest for editorials expressing the sen timent of members in regard to ques tions that “You have been thinking about” a storm of feminine protest against existing conditions was re ceived. “There are rules for students, rules for women but no rules for men,” was one text. “Down with the old double standard idea, a woman has just as much right to cut her hair as has a man. Why should we waste our valuable time taking care of a lot of Lair that does us no good even as an ornament.” Sounds revolutionary, doesn’t it? The point of it,is they are carrying it out too. A number of shorn heads have already appeared and there is rumor of more to come. Quite contrary to the Sampson legend their strength seems in no way lessened. In fact the spirit of revolt is growing. Faculty members are already express ing sympathy for the men who will have to compete with these women in the field of newspaper work. “Those girls are out to accomplish something and they are going to do it” was one way the feeling was voiced. One of the shorn damsels upon being questioned flatly denied any revolution ary intentions. “Why just because one has bobbed hair does not force her to throw bricks or make a fool of herself does it? Time alone can tell. 300 gTrlTenroll IN VARIOUS SPORTS; MEETS TO BE HELD Committee Appointed to Try to Arrange Games And Meets With 0. A. C. The schedule of sports for women will be full this year according to the plans which were presented by the heads of the different sports to the members of the WomenjB Athletic association at their first meeting Tuesday after noon in Villard hall. The membership of the association is over 300, with reports from several of the houses yet to be turned in. Plans are being laid to' make this a big year in girls’ sports, and to prepare for the Western Women’s Athletic conference which will be held at Oregon next spring. The heads of sports have been con ferring with the instructors in the de partment to prepare a series of compet* etive games, and a committee has been appointed to confer with O. A. C. in an attempt to get games in hockey, basketball and baseball, a swimming and archery-meet and a tennis tourna ment. Swimming and hockey are the sports which are holding the attention of the girls just now. Besides the interclass meet, plans are being made for an inter house meet which will be scheduled as soon as enough girls turn out. The swimming tank will be open Tuesday and Thursday afternoons for practice. The hockey schedule will include the interclass games and a probable game j with O. A. C.’ Special practices are being arranged for Tuesday and Thurs day afternoons for those who wish to try out for places on the teams. It is the aim of those in charge of basketball to play the doughnut series before the Christmas vacation, leaving time to develop the class teams and 3 varsity team to meet 0. A. C. during the winter term. Doughnut practice will begin November 7. Track, archery, canoeing, tennis and baseball will come in the spring but the girls who are interested in these were urged to get in as much practice as possible this fall. MASONS HONOR F. S.

FIGHTING VARSITY OFF FOR BATTLE Oregon Hopes to Beat This Man’s Team Saturday Courtesy Daily Californian. Captain George Latham of California football team. TEAM SWEPT TO TRAIN ***¥***** Tumult Strikes With Terror * * * * * * * * * GOLDEN BLOOD GOAL , “The team is not in the best of shape. We are going down to Califor nia to win if we can; but win or lose, with the student body behind us and such a University as Oregon we will give ’em a battle.” This was the message “Shy” gave to the great group of students which ser pentined and milled into the armory yesterday evening on its way to the depot to cheer the departing football men, headed southward to the land of the mighty Bruin. “Obie’s” summons for noise were well heeded. Vesuvius in pyroclastic and thunderous erup tion would offer poor competition to the noise made by the Thundering Thous and equipped with dinner bells, gongs, triangles, horns, whistles and other instruments of disharmony. But as “Shy” delivered his brief message the tumult died into silence. “Shy” first stepped on the stage. As “Bill” walked from the wings to the center of the platform “Shy” ex tended his hand and the two smiled and shook. A few seconds later “Brick” Mitchell made his appearance and the crowd cheered long as the trio stood together on the stage. The rally got under way in good time, starting from the library a few minutes after 6:30.- The ranks were well sup plemented at every corner and as tho long column, four abreast in class for mation, swung into Willamette “Obie” and his assistants had things going nicely. In the line of march women were in the majority. A very fine web foot mist drizzled past the headlights of the many automobiles which flanked the lines of students. After the rally in the armory, which was cut short on account of the limited time, the rooters again swung into for mation and marched to the depot. “Obie” assembled the Thundering Thousand and hastily ran through the repertorie of yells as the Shasta puffed in from the north. No speeches were made at the depot. “Obie”, from the hurricane deck of a baggage truck, an nounced that the services of a leased wire had been arranged for to receive the reports of the game Saturday by plays, but was yet uncertain as to the place the returns would be received. The place will be announced in a later (Continued on page three) DYMENT TO BE SPEAKER “OUR KIND OF UNIVERSITY”, SUB JECT OF ASSEMBLY ADDRESS Eleanor Lee, Former Instructor In Voice Will Sing Selection From “Jeanne D’Arc” \ - “Our kind of "a University,” is the subject on which Colin V. Dyment, Dean of the college of literature, sci-! ence, and the arts, in the University, will speak to the students, Thursday morning at assembly. “The most interesting thing that I can say to the students concerning my address, I know, is that it will end be fore the 11:50 bell,” said Dean Dyment in answer to a query as to the substance of his talk. “I can think of nothing which would advertise it better,” he continued with a quiet smile, “can youf” The Emerald reporter couldn’t and admitted it. w “In my talk, I am going to discuss some of the problems concerning the University, in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and twenty-one,” stated Dean Dymept. “I am going to tell the students some of the things on which I think they are right.” Then as one of these students registered visi ble smugness at this statement, he added hastily, “and some of the things (Continued on page two) MAY LENGTHEN HOLIDAY THANKSGIVING VACATION SET FOE ONLY ONE DAY Faculty Pledged to Give Student Sentiment Consideration; Friday Classes Hold Unless faculty action is taken at the next regular meeting, November 3, the ruling that classes will be held on Fri day after Thanksgiving day will hold, according to information given out at the registrar's office yesterday. "If there should be a strong stu dent sentiment against the action of the faculty in this matter it would be in order for the student council to pre sent a petition to that effect," said Dean Dyment when questioned. “The faculty would give the peti tion the same good show that it gives student opinion in all such matters,” he continued. In regard to its out come he had little to Bay except that the matter would be reopened and the views of the members of the student body considered. The ruling was first made at the faculty meeting held February 3, when it was decided to start the fall term on October 3 and run it oneo week longer. Later, at the meeting held March 3, it was decided to open the University the same week as usual, but nothing was said about classes on Fri (Continued on page two) Oregon Gridsters Start For South To Tackle Bears Changed Lineup Expected to be Speediest Yet; Shields to Add Power to Line CUSS BASKETBALL PLACED AHEAD OF DOUGHNUT GAMES Basketball Series to Start Next Month; Practice Begins Nov. 7 The juniors play the seniors in the first interclass game of the local basket ball season which starts next Monday afternoon at 4 o ’clock, as a result of the drawing for places which was held in Coach Bolder’s office yesterday afternoon. The sophomores play the freshmen at 5 o’clock the same even ing, and the two winners will play for the championship Tuesday afternoon at 4:00. It was decided to put the interclass games ahead of the doughnut series. Doughnut basketball, which was scheduled to start Monday, will be put off until Wednesday by this now ar rangement, but will be opened at 4 o ’clock on that day, the first game be ing between the A. T. O. and Kappa Theta Chi teams. Other games on that day will be: Sigma Nu vs. Delta Tau Delta at 5; Beta vs. Phi Sigma Pi at 7 o’clock in the evening, and Oregon club No. 2 vs. Sigma Alpha Epsilon at S. Thursday’s schedule is: 4 o’clock, Sigma Chi vs. Chi Psi; 5 o’clock, Kappa Sigma vs. Bachelordon; 7 o’clock Phi Gamma Delta vs. Friendly hall; 8 o’clock, Phi Delta Theta vs. Oregon club No. 1. This will end the games for next week, and further games will be announced from time to time ns scheduled. * Oregon Club Divided Something new this year is the fact that there will be two teams in the league representing men not in some organization. This was allowed on President Emerald Sloan’s plea that the membership of the Oregon club is so largo that the club should be divided into two clubs, the new one to be known as the University club, the other to i retain the old name. There will be 135 games played this year, provided no teams drop out, and that no games are forfeited. The schedule has not been worked out in full yet, and according to Coach Boh ler will not be posted in full, but each week the schedule for the following week or two weeks will be posted. There are 1(3 teams in the league, after the addition of the second Oregon club, so each team will play 15 games dur ing the season, no matter how many they lose, because the championship is to be decided on a percentage basis. Schedule Buns to February The schedule will run well over into February, Assistant Coach Durno stated, f Continued on page four) CRAFTSMEN MEETS FOR FIRST DINNER OF TERM F. M. Gallvani, President Campbell, and Dean Straub Among Speakers at Gathering of Freemasons . The Craftsmen club, composed of student and faculty Freemasons, held their first meeting and dinner of the year at the Anchorage last evening. Mr. F. M. Oalvani, of Portland and member of the Grand Lodge of Oregon, visitpd the club and was guest for the evening. Mr. Galvani, President Campbell, Dean Straub, and Professors T. J. Bo litho and F. S. Dunn gave short talks on Masonry. Arrangements have been com pleted by tbe Emerald for a special leased wire play-by-play service on tbe Oregon-Oalifomia game at Berkeley Saturday. The reports will be read direct from the wire a few seconds after the actual play takes place on the Berkeley grid iron. The staff of varsity yell leaders will have charge of the an nouncement of the reports. Announcements as to the place where the reports will be given will be made in tomorrow’s Emer ald. By EP HOYT Gan Oregon beat California? Of course not, you say, and politely turn your head so that the nervy ques tioner will not feel embarrased. But 20 husky determined football men boarded last night’s Shasta with the grim determination of doing just that. And those 20 of Oregon's fight ing men wore headed by a coach even moro grim and more determined than the mon he leads. For “Shy” Hun tington is out to win if he con. Which means that he will use every bit of football in his crafty noodle in the attempt to skin the Golden Bear. “Brick” Mitchell Adds Fight “Brick” Mitchell will be with them, with his dynamic force aud his string of encouraging adjectives with which he builds courage for his warriors, and strength and drive when there is none left. Brick played on the great team of ’16 that administered a crashing defeat to the Golden Bear on the Berke ley oval. The score of which was Ore gon 39, California 14. Then there is “Bill” Hayward, vete ran trainer, symbolic of “Oregon Fight,” who has ever been in the front rank when the cause was seemingly lost. Bill never knows when Oregon is beaten, and if anyone’<; presence on the sidelines will make an Oregon team fight, that presence is Bill Hayward's. King to Start at Full It will be a reorganized varsity that will take the field against the Blue and Gold champions. “Tiny” Shields, 192 pounds of brawn and fight, will be brought up from the backfield to strengthen the line. “Tiny” lias been playing fullback all season and while he acquitted himself satisfactorily in that position he will undoubtedly be of more service in the line as he plays a great game at tackle. In the backfield George King will take Shields’ place at full, while “Dutch” Gram, who performed so brilliantly against Idaho last Saturday, wrill take King's place at right half. “Chuck” Parsons will likely start the game at the other half with Ward Johnson calling the numbers. To Increase Effectiveness This change will prove a great factor in speeding up the barks and making the offensive smoother and more ef fective. With Shields in the line the defense will be a great deal stronger and surer and will come a lot nearer holding the California backs. Gram looks like the man to speed up the backfield, and it will require speed as well as drive and weight to put the pigskin over the California goal line. Billy Reinhart will not make the trip, as the varsity’s star halfback and quar ter is laid up with tonsijitis. It was hoped that with the aid of Bill Hay ward ’s .braces Reinhart would have a chance to show his speed to the Bruins. Captain Howard to Play Howard \s knee is coming nicely, anil to appear in the initial lineup. If the Oregon’s fighting captain is expected (Continued on Page 3) PLEDGING IS ANNOUNCED Alpha Delta Pi announces the pledg j ing of Grpce Pick, of Portland, and | Irene Compton, of Nampa, Idaho, i transfer pledge from University of Ne | braska.
