NOVEMBER S, 1921, NUMBER 29 COMMERCE SCHOOL ANNOUNCES PRIZES EOR SCHOLARSHIP Business Men Make Offers for Best Work Done by Oregon Students W. D. B. DODSON SPEAKER President Campbell Praises Undergraduates’ Efforts in Past Year * * 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.

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. ZIMMERMAN LEADS RACE Heider Close Second in Cadet Rifle Practice; Company B Loads Thus far in the It. O. T. C. shooting t | no ono seems to be able to dislodge j Captain Don Zimmerman, Co. D, from the top of the list. With O. L. Ileider, Co. B, following a close second, Don still remains at the top at the close of firing at 5 p. in. November 2. Cadets are required by tho military department to fire at least six stages ; before they become eligible for honors in the tryouts, and they are anxious to add more names to the list, j Thu companies as well as the men are put to a percentage basis, Com . pany B having hold the lead for three j consecutive days.

There were 22 delegates to the convention representing 12 dif ferent papers. 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.
