At the school of business administra
tion blow-out Thursday night, Presi
dent P. L. Canfpbell announced prizes,
varying from trophies to scholarships,
offered to the students of the school,
by various public-spirited men and
business houses in the state. The
awards are “To Honor Outstanding
Scholastic Attainment.” Dean Dyment,
and the faculty of the school were
present. W. D. B. Dodson, secretary
of the Portland chamber of commerce,
was the speaker of the evening. A
snappy jazz “bust” followed the pro
gram.
Two scholarships are among the
awards offered. Walter D. Whitcomb
of the firm of Whitfield, Whitcomb,
Whitfield and Company, offers a prac
ticing scholarship, according to the
terms of which Mr. Whitfield’s firm
will take each year two persons recom
mended by the school of business
administration, as best qualified, to
serve as junior accountants for two
years of training, paying them a liberal
salary. Mr. Whitcomb, the donor,
is an alumnus of Beta Alpha Psi, the
national professional accounting fra
ternity.
Prize for Senior Girl
The second scholarship amounting I
to fifty dollars offered by the Phi
Theta Kappa, is “awarded during the
spring term of each year, to the junior
or senior girl, who has the highest
scholastic average, and record of gen
eral student activities.”
Two trophies are offered, a silver
loving cup, by the Oregon Life Insur
ance Co., and a bronze scholarship
tablet by the Beta Gamma Sigma,
national honorary commerce fraternity.
The silver cup is to be presented to
paper on some phase of the principles
underlying life insurance and in addi
tion makes the best talk on Life In
surance.” The talk is not to be con
fined to selling their own insurance
but may be on any policy of any legit
imate company. The name of the win-1
ner of the cup will each year be en
graved on the cup which will be kept
in the school of business administra
tion, and a replica of the cup will be
presented to the annual winner.
For Life Insurance Talk
G. M. Sprague, the local representa
tive of the Mutual Life Insurance
company of New York, has presented
a cash prize of $25 to be given an
nually to the commerce student who
makes the best talk on life insurance
and, in addition writes the best paper
on the subject. »
Also, a prize is offered for all sopho
more men in the school. The details
of this award are to be announced
later.
In announcing these prizes, Presi
dent Campbell, congratulated the stu
dents upon their splendid work of the
last year. At the conclusion of Presi
dent Campbell’s speech, Dean Colin
(Continued on page four)
Huston Says Yea,
But He Cannot
Vouch for Wife
Rather difficult to accept an invita
tion addressed to yourself and wife
when there is no wife. Oliver B. Hus
ton. '10, Portland attorney, received
an invitation from the University re
questing Mr. and Mrs. Huston to act
as patronesses of the Homecoming
dance. Mr. Huston forwarded his
thanks and in part wrote as follows:
“I wish to thank yon for the invita
tion. As for myself I would be glad
to act, but I cannot say how Mrs. Hus
ton would stand on the matter. I have
not been able to interview her on the
subject, because, as a matter of fact,
there is no Mrs. Oliver B. Huston.
“No doubt someone figured that I
was getting along to an age where I
ought to be married if I were not, and
perhaps they were justified, but the
fact remains that I am, as yet, single
and hence not a candidate for such a
dignified job as a dance patron, but
would rather still remain in the ranks
of the active participants.
“Howeyer, if in the next few years
I should be so fortunate, or unfortunate
as some testify as to bring about that
there was a Mrs. Oliver B. Huston, I
will be pleased to act in the capacity
of patron at some future date.”
ORCHESTRA PLANS
CONCERT-DANCE 1
EVE OF ARMISTICE
Greatest Event of Year, Says
Manager; to be Held in
Woman’s Building
“The eoneert-dance to be given by
the University orchestra in the Wo
man 's building on Thursday evening,
November 10, will be the greatest event
of the year—unless, perchance, an
other like it is given later,” said Er
nest J. Haycox, acting manager of the
organization. This will be the second
Armistice eve concert-dance to be
given by the orchestra.
The program will open with an
hour’s concert, beginning at eight,
followed immediately by two and one
half hours ’ dancing. Half of the dance
music will be furnished by the entire
University orchestra.
“The music for both the concert and
dance will be as good as the orchestra
ever* played,” said, Rex Underwood,
the director. “Most of last year’s
members are back and with additions
to the membership and changing of
positions the organization is a better
balanced one than it was last year.
“The concert music,” he continued,
“will be made" up of much the same
sort of music as that of which the home
concert last spring was composed. As
for the dance, it is our plan to give
harmonious as well as rhythmic music.”
Last year’s Armistice eve concert
dance packed the armory.
YALE TRACK IMPROVED
Improvements in track facilities to
cost approximately $300,000 are now in .
progress at Yale university. The plans j
include a new track on the site of the
old freshman football field, the erec
tion of cement stands to seat thous
ands of spectators, and a house con
taining 2,400 lockers.
Young Herder Studies in
Desert to Enter University
There’s a man over in the desert
country of eastern Oregon, a long way
from the railroad or any other marks
of civilization, who spends his days
herding sheep, a hard and tiresome
occupation, and then in the evening
sits down to work toward his Univer
sity entrance requirements, for he hopes
to come here next fall and begin the
study of medicine. He has been tak
ing work in the extension division for
about a year, to make up his high
school credits, for he did not finish the
course at the Ashland high school. All
the books he needs to use he has ob
tained through the University because
he hasn’t access to any other library.
He works by candle light, and writes,
sitting on a box, with a tablet on his
knee.
His name is George Kenneth Wil- j
shire, and he is 27 years old. He and
his brother own 2,000 head of sheep in !
the desert country near Adel. “Near” ,
—well, he can only get to the post-j
office once in every two weeks or so,
and if his work from the extension
lepartment happens to be delayed—all I
:he mail to that part of the state goes i
ry stage, and is easily delayed or
ost—he has to wait another two or
;hree weeks to get it. Letters and les
sons and books sometimes reach him \
m time, and sometimes they don't, I
Dut he finished University courses in
English composition and recent Ameri
•an literature, and is starting work in
jsychology, theme writing, and college
ilgebra. • !
There’s another thing that Mr. Wil- J
shire does that not all of us could do, j
le writes interestingly and well of the ;
Lings he knows. He has had very i
ittle training in writing, but there is
i short story which he wrote (for Eng
ish composition) that has a gripping
sort of reality about it, and is treated
vith a very fine simplicity. The story
s called: “George the Basque and the
Little Fellers” and is about an actual
lappening there on the desert. Mr.
iVilshire shows a real gift for expres
sion, and an ability to tell simply and
dearly of what he sees.
HUNTINGTON’S MEN PRIMED
TO CHECK COUGARS’ RUSH
FROSH10 BATTLE
CHEMAWA INDIANS
Struggle With Redskin Eleven
Promises to be Tea Party
For Neither Side
The red skins are after the freshman
scalp 1
This afternoon the Chemawa war
riors are going to battle the frosh
football eleven on Hayward field.
Baz’s men are prepared for any sort
of attack from the Indians, and intend
to prove their ability to hold the fort
in the face of this intended massacre.
Baz and Brandy have been working
hard this week getting their players
limbered up from the Washington
game, and putting them in form to
meet the invaders. However this task
is harder than it sounds, the players
being so banged up that the coaches
called practice off on Monday night
following last week’s game.
Chemawa Has Played Twice
The Chemawa aggregation has played
two games this season and has shown
up well, considering the quality of the
O. A. C. varsity squad and of William
ette University against which they
fought.
Baz wants his men to start the gamo
with all the speed and fight they can
muster in order to get under the hides
of the Indians at the beginning.
“If you ever let them think they are
better than you are, Baz told his pro
teges, “the game is lost. Hit ’em hard
from the start, and never let them get
the best of you.”
Today’s game will give a more ac
curate account of just how good the
freshmen are, and what they can do,
than have the two previous games.
With the Mt. Angel squad the year
lings had a tea party, while in the
Washington game things were exactly
reversed, and it is hard to determine
just how good they are until they go
up against a team more nearly on a
par with them. According to the dope
this struggle should be a tea party for
neither party.
No New Talent Developed
Due to the fact that there has been
little strenuous practice this week
neither of the coaches has had a chance
to develop any new talent, but as a
whole, the team looks good enough to
make the contenders go the limit to
keep in the running.
A week from today Baz takes his
team to Corvallis for the last battle
of the year, against the O. A. C. rooks.
Hubbard, the Aggie yearling coach, is
exerting every effort to put forth a
winning team against the freshmen.
The lineup for today’s game: L E,
Davidson; L T, Spear; L G, Moist;
C, Reinhart; R E, Bliss; R T, Quinn;
R. G. Zachery; Q, Smith; R. H. Jacob
berger; L H, Sutton; F, French.
GRADUATE STUDENTS MEET
Plans Outlined Provide for Taking
Up Special Lines of Research
Forty graduate students and faeuky
members assembled for dinner at the
Anchorage Tuesday evening when the
Graduate club held there its first meet
ing this year. Norman Byrne presided
as toastmaster.
The meeting was also the occasion
for a business session, at whieh a new
plan of activity was outlined for the
year. It was decided that the club is
to be an executive or administrative
body to carry out suggestions, to take
up special lines of research for broaden
ing knowledge, and to prevent too
close specialization.
President Campbell spoke of the poor
facilities for graduate work, and there
fore of the greater glory in doing it.
It was decided at the meeting to
have dinners frequently throughout
the year. November 30 has been set
for the next date. The dinner will be
followed by a program.
STUDENTS RAISE FUNDS
The sum of $386.40 was raised among
the students and alumni of the Uni
versity of Southern California to help
defray expenses of sending the univer
sity band to Berkeley on Nov. 5.
ELECTION ANNOUNCED
The Geological and Mining society
of American universities (Condon
club) announces the election to asso
ciate membership Glen Walkley, Troy
Phipps, and George Riggs.

The campus luncheon for Homecom
ing is to be held in the Woman’s build
ing this year instead of the Men's
gymnasium as has been the custom in
the past. Boots and the rougher ele
ment of decoration are taboo at this
gathering.
Each alumnus is to be checked off at
the campus luncheon and a record of
the number will be kept for future
Homecomings, so that each year the
aim will be to have a larger crowd than
the year before.
Plans are under way for housing and
taking care of every person who comes
back. The details of the week-end will
be published in next week’s Emerald.
“Hello” will be characteristic of the
attitude for the week-end, and every
Oregon student is asked to welcome any
stranger on the campus with the old,
familiar greeting.
Each organization is asked to regis
ter their guests as soon as they arrive
and in this way save confusion and
misunderstanding in many campus of
fairs.
DANCERS AT GYM WILL
GET RESULTS OF GAME
Sigma Delta CM Arranges Special
Wire Service With Pullman
Sports Writer
Returns of the Oregon-W. S. C. game
will be given this afternoon in the
Men’s gymnasium starting at 2:30.
Special arrangements have been made
with Donald McElroy, Evergreen sports
writer, to send the returns to Eugene
at the end of every quarter and they
will be barked to the crowd during a
jitney dance, which will be held dur
ing the afternoon.
' “Dates or no dates. As you wish,”
is the word of the members of Sigma
Delta Chi, who are in charge of the
affair. The dance will start at 3
and will last until 6, being inter
rupted as the returns come in.
The service secured by Sigma Delta
Chi will be the only detailed report
of the game in Eugene this afternoon.
CO-EDS HAVE VOCAL CODE
Mystery Solved by Professor Reddie;
Conundrums Amazes Class
“ Saygurlzrukmnglawngthus ? ”
“Will someone please translate
that!” Fergus Reddie’s class in voice
work was silent. Approximately none
dared to attempt it.
“I heard that,” said Professor Red
die deliberately and in an awful voice,
“from one of the fair co-eds as I
crossed the campus this noon. It is,
‘Say, girls, are you coming along with
us?’’ ”
“I thawd jou said-”
“WHAT?”
FIJIES TAKE CLOSE GAME
KAPPA THETAS GARNER EASY
CONTEST FROM THETA PHI
Phi Gammas Play Five Minutes Extra
Time to Beat Oregon Club No. 1
Four Teams Have Three Wins
The two games of the doughnut ser
ies played yesterday afternoon, were
practically the opposite of each other,
in both scores and the playing of the
opposing teams.
In the first game between the Fijis
and Oregon Club No. 1, the Oregon
Club nearly sprang a surprise, for
they hold the strong Fiji team to a 7
to 7 tie, but in a five minute overtime
period the Fijis came back strong, end
ing the game on tho long end of a 15
to 11 score. The second game was a
walkaway for Kappa Theta Chi, for
Delta Theta Phi never scored a field
basket, their points being gleaned from
three fouls.
The Oregon Club team reported as
being rather weak, played fast ball
against the Fijis, and only lost tho
gamo by reason of a five minute over
time period. The first half ended 5 to
3 in favor of the Oregon Club. The
game was featured by tho oxtremely
close guarding tactics of both toams.
Staley and Shaeffer for the Fijis
played good ball, while Murray and
Fraser showed up well for the Oregon
Club.
Tho second game was good practice
for Kappa Theta Chi baskot shooters,
who ran up a 45 to 3 score on Delta
Theta Phi. Bice starred for the win
ners, garnering 34 of their points.
Zimmerman also played good ball.
Bradeson and Hillory showed the most
speed for Delta Theta Phi.
Games for Monday are:
Bachelordon vs. Fiji, 4 o 'clock.
Kappa Theta Chi vs. Delta Tau Delta,
4:40 o’clock.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon vs. Chi Psi,
5 o 'clock.

MAXWELL CHOSEN CHAIRMAN
University of Washington, Se
attle, Nov. 4.—Floyd Maxwell, edi

Intercollegiate Press Association at
the business session which was held
today. There were 22 delegates to
the convention representing 12 dif

OREGON TEAM TO BE
STRONGER, FASTER
THAN IN CALIFORNIA
Green Eleven Will Meet Its
Second Test Today With
Washington State
POWER OF LINE INCREASED
Backfield Speeded, and Air
Attack Likely With Hunk
Latham Grabbing ’em
Oregon vs. Washington State! Al
ways, to the football world this phrase
has meant a fight, a real football game,
with quarter never given nor asked.
And so it will be today when the two
teams clash on Rogers field at Pull
man. A veteran team thoroughly con
versant with all the fine points of in
side football, a stonewall on the de
fense, a smashing, finoly adjusted ma
chine on offense, will meet a green,
unproved eleven.
But that green team is Oregon, ever
fighting its hardest as the underdogs,
and though the Cougars have the
greatest gridiron aggregation that
Washington State has put out in years
the game today will not be easy meat
for them and the varsity, with the
California defeat against them, is out
to regain lost prestige.
Line Strength Added
For two weeks since the disastrous
invasion into tlio land of the “native
son” Huntington has been drilling his
boys in every phase of football attack.
The line has been strengthened and
additional weight brought up to resist
the tearing attack of tho Cougars.
And judging from the way the boys
went last week in scrimmage they
should be able to complete some passes
at the exponse of Welch’s aggrega
tion.
“Hunk” Latham, varsity basketball
star and until recently an unlikely can
didate for au end berth, seems to have
found his hole at full. He will have
a chance to provo himself today and
if he makes good it will lighten Hunt
ington ’s backfield problems a great
deal. The combination of Chapman
and Latham looks good for end runs,
while Johnson, King and Oram have
been smashing things up for two weeks
on line plays.
“Hunk” Snares Wild Passes
If Huntington sees fit to use the
aerial attack Latham should be good
on roping in tho passes. The big fel
low’s basketball experience stands him
in good stead, and he has a faculty of
pulling erratically heaved pigskins out
of the air for a completed play. Both
Chapman and George King can be de
pended upon to do some accurate pass
ing, while Clerin and Brown, who will
start, at ends, are experienced in the
receiving end of the aerial route.
It is doubtful whether “Prink” Cal
lison will bo able to play the whole
game. Prink sustained some rather
severe injuries in the last game and in
recent scrimmages and may not be able
to go the whole route. In that event,
Bark Laughlin will take his place.
Bark is a real fighter and though
small is a hard man to play against.
DcArmand Shows Speed
Tommy DcArmand will break into
the play this afternoon, from his work
in scrimmage DcArmand should be
something of a sensation. He is the
fastest man back of the line and
weighs in at 180. Captain Howard is
not expected to start but will likely
be used later in the game.
Graduate Manager Beneflel thinks
that the boys have a chance with the
Staters in the game today. This it the
first opportunity our team has had to
meet a team that is developed under
the same conditions that obtain here.”
he said “and T expect the boys to make
a showing that will be a credit to the
1 University, the coaching staff and the
team,” Benefiel did not make the trip
to Pullman as he is attending an alum
ni banquet in Portland today.
SPANISH CLUB ELECTS
The Spanish club announces tho
election of the following students to
membership: Frances Morgan, Helen
Pu'-4um, Raymond Burns, Owen Cal
laway. Margaret Jackson, Norma Wil
son. Elizabeth Pride, Elizabeth Melts,
Grace Ufford. and Mildred Dedman.
