I VOLUME xxra. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1921. NUMBER 33. FALL BASKETBALL 4 LETTERMEH 01)1 Marc and Hunk Latham, Beller and Reinhart on the Job; Other Material Good PROSPECTS SEEM BRIGHT Eddie Durno to Help Bohler; General Call to be Issued After Thanksgiving The first practice session of the cur rent basketball season was called by Coach Bohler Wednesday night with the following men turning out: Beller, M. Latham, Zimmerman, Couch, Beaver, Edlund, Yeatch, K. Moore, Clark, Black, Bockhey, Burnett, Altstock, Goar, and McMillan. Two lettermen, “Hunk” Latham and Billy Beinhart, are out with the football squad and won’t start practice with the varsity hoopers until the close of the grid season. Only two of last year’s quintet will not be available for this year’s team, Eddie Durno, for three years the var sity star forward, and “Nish” Chap man, a three letter guard,_ and one of the best performers at that position •ever winning a letter at Oregon. Bohler in Second Tear Durno is assistant varsity coach this year and will work with George Boh ler, head coach. Durno was selected as all-coast and northwest forward last year and is one of the shiftiest floor men ever developed on the coast. Bohler is in his second year as bas ketball coach and turned out the Northwest conference champions last year, the Lemon-Yellow winning 14 out of 17 coast conference games and fin ishing first in the Noi tnwest con ference with every contest won. Prospects seem very bright for a winning aggregation this year, since four letter men are on the job, the two Lathams, Marc and “Hunk,” . Billy Beinhart and Francis Beller. The guard positions will be well taken care j of with Beller and Beinhart, lettermen, Kenneth Moore, Balf Couch and Bur nett, last year’s subs, Black, Goar and Edlund of last year’s freshmen hoopers available. Reserve Talent Clever At center there will be “Sunk” Latham, chosen last year as all North west center by J. Fred Bohler of Washington State, with some likely looking understudies in Don Zimmer marr'bf last year’s varsity squad and Bill McMillan of the class of ’24. Marc Latham, playing his third year on the varsity, looks like a sure bet at one of the forward positions. He is especially good on floor work and a sure shot near the basket. A running mate for Latham will have to be de veloped. Some good men are available for this position in Yeatch, Bockhey and Altstoek. In all probability Holland Andre, who played forward on the freshman team two years ago, will be back for basketball this year, Andre is a fast man and his return willj strengthen the squad considerably. Until after Thanksgiving practices | will probably be held once or twice a j week at nine in the evening, according to Eddie Durno, assistant coach. After j the turkey recess, however, a general j call for candidates will be issued and j practice will start in earnest. * Ye Tabard Inn elects Yern Blue, * | 'Arthur Larson, and Gene Whitten. * *•****» ••*•• “SHY” ADDRESSES ****** Homecoming Feature ****** ECHOES ANSWER ROOTERS * * * Is Staged * * . * WHOOPS “Shy” Huntington, addressing the little crowd of rooters huddled in the bleachers on the east side of Hayward field yesterday afternoon, admonished the students to faithfully believe what they say when they chant “We can’t be beat” and to have confidence in the team. Coach Huntington told the students that the team which battled W. S. C. in the great struggle last Saurday was a real team, and that he expected a better team to fight the Aggies Homecoming. But underlying “Shy’s” optimistic statements was a frequently' expressed desire that over-confidence or cocki ness should have no sanction on the Oregon campus. “If W. S. C. beats O. A. C. in the game tomorrow don’t get cocky,” admonished Huntington. “If W. S. C. beats O. A. C. we will have to fight the harder.” A peculiarity noticed and commented on by many of the rooters who at tended the bleacher rally yesterday evening was the clear echoe from the grandstand across the field. A light fog hung over Hayward and as the varsity yell was given with its stac cato broadsides and aceentnated sil ence each volume was thrown back from the grandstand in a thunderous echo. The stunt for the HWmecoming game was initially staged yesterday after noon. White shirts worn by 600 root ers, rally headgear, and colored card boards will be used in the bleachers during the Homecoming . classic to throw into relief a great flashing, ani mated “0”. This stunt will be prac ticed again before November 19. During the rally practice, the foot ball team put on a speedy scrimmage on the field, tearing up and down the field as an invincible progressing bar rier. Another feature for the Homecoming game was practiced when a platoon of husky frosh sauntered down the field to the occupied grandstand with a veiled figure. Although the identity of the figure was freely guessed at, the bright colors and new paint seem to indicate that the object which the frosh guarded so carefully was merely a replica of an animal which might possibly be hibernating in the vicinity of the' Oregon campus. SINGER IS ARDENT ATHLETE ERWYN MUTCH EX-FOOTBALL PLATES AND SPRINTER Songs Written by Dean Landsbnry and John Stark Evans to be on Program In Villard If a husky football warrior, well versed in the 49-20-X-36 of the unin telligible gridiron vernacular, would change his mud-streaked hero’s garb for the spotless evening attire of the concert platform, and in deep, resonate tones suddenly thrill the stereotyped “enthusiastic audience” with some re markable Wagnerian selection, or, per chance, the latest A1 Jolson hit, the eyebrows of both the football fans and of the music-lovers would rise per ceptibly. If someone told you such a story, you might, be polite, but you would probably say under your breath “Tell it to the Marines.” Plays Tennis Dally But just this has been the fortune of Erwyn Mutch, baritone, who is to appear in Villard hall to,morrow night. Mr. Mutch says that his favorite sport is football, but that he has been forced to give it up, because of his concert work. The two simply don’t “hit.” But the fact that he can no longer play football hasn’t prevented Mr. Mutch from continuing his program of systematic exercise. He never misses a day on the tennis court or in the gym nasium working for at least two hours. As a boy he was an intercholastic champion sprinter, football and base ball player, but now he confines him self to tennis and running. Oregon Songs on Program In the program for tomorrow even ing’s attraction are two selections by members of the University of Oregon school of music. “A Spring Love Song,” by John Stark Evans, and “Ecstasy,” by Dean John J. Lanjjs bury, are being anticipated with great pleasure by those who know they are to be presented. Mr. Evans will ac company Mr. Mutch. A number by a Portland composer, Clarence Olmstead, entitled “My Soul is an Enchanted Boat,” will be featured also. The concert is scheduled for 8:30. Tickets are on sale at the Co-op. Enthusiastic Audience Views “ Why Marry?" By the Company A house full of enthusiastic and interested faculty members and stu dents Wednesday evening saw “Why Marry!” the first play to be produced by the University company this term. The cast composed almost completely of members of last year’s company, did some of the best work ever done on the campus. The work of Claire Keen ey was especially noteworthy. In the role of the old judge, Uncle Everett, he furnished the humor to the entire play and expressed good sound logic through exceptionally clever lines. In the last act just as the young couple who thought a marriage wottld interfere with their careers were about to leave for Paris unmarried he saved the en tire situation by marrying them in his capacity as a judge when they did not know they were being married. The couple conveniently lived in a state where no license was required. It is a problem play in spite of the title which might lead some to think it a farce, and the interest is held until the end. The end is indeed a surprise and judging from the applause was entirely satisfactory to the audience. Irene Stewart and Norvell Thomp son played the parts of the chemist, Ernest Hamilton, and Helen, his as sistant, who thought they could not marry on two thousand dollars a year. The part of John, brother to Helen, , the average wealthly conventional business man, was successfully played by Vera Fudge, and his wife, Lucy, was portrayed very cleverly by Eliza beth Melis, who appeared on Guild (Continued on page two) DATE RUMOR CORRECTED DEAN FOX STIES INTEBEST WITH NEW SUGGESTION Women’s Houses Approached on Sub ject of Limiting Engagements On Sunday Night There has been a rumor rampant on the campus this week to the effect that Sunday night dates are to become naught but a memory; that they are shortly to be classed as tabu. This rumor seems to have grown out of the, proposal made by Dean Fox to the rep resentatives of campus organizations in session Monday night, that they take up in their houses the matter of Sunday night dating. Dean Fox says she has no idea of making an arbitrary ruling relative to Sunday night dates, nor of placing any rules to that effect in the University regulations. Her proposal to the house representatives was merely in the na ture of a “feeler” to find out what the students’ reaction would be. She did not propose that Sitnday night dates be given up entirely, but that the advisability of an earlier hour than 10:30 be considered, and that in formal gatherings of men and women students afound the fireplaces with music or other entertainment be con sidered as a possibility. The matter is to be discussed in wo men 's organizations and a report is to be made to Dean Fox a month from this time. Dean Fox is not in favor of making an arbitrary rule on the matter. She would rather have it grow by degrees into a tradition. “To establish a tradition takes time,” says Dean Fox. “The house representatives did not expect to have at the end of a month’s time a very definite scheme of what would be done, if anything were to be done. They were merely to bring the matter be fore their organizations for consider ation.” CAMPUS MYSTERY WILL BE EXPLAINED TUESDAY Surprise to be Sprung Thesday Night In Villard Hall; Word Given by Ones Who Know Something new in the line of mys teries is on foot. A rumor on the cam pus is to the effect that on Tuesday night, November 15, at 7 o’clock in Villard hall there will be brought forth the biggest surprise ever sprung on the Oregon students. There is no bait of fered to encourage students to come to the assembly. It is merely known that there will be a break of news that will be of no small interest to everyone on the campus. To those who are skeptical, the word of President Camp bell of the University, of Lyle Bar tholomew, president of the student body and of Norton Winnardf vice president of the student body, is of fered to assure them that this is no false alarm. A slight suggestion has come to light from an unknown source which hints at the possibility of the divulging of some new football “dope” and it is even suggested that some of the coaches may be urged to break their silence. It is more than a rumor that several prominent old grads will be on hand for the assembly. I FROSH TEAM READY TO BATTLE STROKE 01C JOE SQUAD Regular Lineup Shows Great Form in Practice; 27 Men to Make Trip AGGIE YEARLINGS HEAVIER All Men in Good Condition Except Smith; Players Not Yet Announced The frosh football coaches are put ting the finishing touches on the lino up which is to face the O. A. C. rook aggregation Saturday afternoon in Cor vallis, for the big battle of the year. The scrimmage is being run off more smoothly now than at any former practice, and the team is beginning to look like an honest to goodness organi zation. According to line coach Baz Wil liams, the yearlings are going to need all this increased efficiency when they bump into Coach Hubbard’s eleven. The rooks have several decided ad vantages which cause some degree of concern to the coaches. In the first place the rooks will play on their own field, with the stands mostly in their favor. Also they are heavier than Baz’s men and havs in the backfiold a big line-smasher named McCart, who bids fair to raise havoc in the frosh line. 23 Players tc be Used “They are not as good as Washing ton, but better than either Mt. Angel or Chemawa, ’ .‘s the way Baz puts it n speaking of Coach Hubbard’s men. It is possible then that the frosh may meet a team near their own strength in this last battle of the season. The University is going to pay ex penses for 27 men to help clean up on the O. A. C. first year squad. The list includes Coaches Williams and Brandenberg, Pete Jensen, Lawrence Hull, manager, and 23 players. The aggregation will leave Eugene Satur day morning in private cars, about 9 o’clock in order to get an early lunch in Corvallis before the game. Baz wants every man of the squad to get there somehow. French Showing Good Form With the exception of Smith the players are in good condition. Smith’s ankle still hampers his movements considerably, but he has been taking part in the regular ^scrimmage for a couple of nights. Haak will probably start the game at quarter in his stead. French has been showing up with form in this week’s practice and should dish out a surprise in field running to the awaiting rooks. In both the frosh games played in Eugene he has man aged to slip away for several long runs through a broken field. Gregg, the 206-pounder, will start at right tackle. So far this year he has not had an opportunity to show what he is capable of but judging from his recdrd with Benson Polytechnic he should be able to stop his portion of the O. A. C. line. The names of the 23 players who are to go Saturday have not been given out as yet. However, the tentative lineup follows: Reinhart, center; Quinn, left guard; Spear, left tackle; Davidson, left end; Zachery, right guard; Gregg, right tackle; Bliss, right end. In the backfield Haak, quarter; French, full. For the half back por tions competition is still too keen to tell who will start. It rests between Jacobberger, Sutton, Langrell, Terge son, and Barton. “AT HOMES” TO BE GIVEN Woman’s League to Sponsor Open House In Woman’s Building Weekly Under the sponsorship of Woman’s League a series of “at homes" will be given in the Alumni hall of the Woman’s building on Sunday after noons, from 3 to 5 p. m.. for the pur pose of giving all University students, and especially men, an opportunity of looking through the building. They are not to be given however, for the sole purpose of giving students a chance to admire the parchment lamp shades and the tapestry, but to foster still further the informal get-to gether spirit on the campus. Each honorary organization has been asked to act as hostess ^n its turn. Next Sunday the members of Mu Phi Epsilon, national music sorority, will be hostesses. Musi cal numbers will be given by members of the society throughout the after noon. Honor Students May Go on Pro; Fees Not Paid Ninety-two of them! All suspended from the University. Editors, presi dents, secretaries of student organi sations were among those deliber ately ejected from the • University for non-payment of laboratory fees, hfuc h consternation. Confusion. Many petitions. “Will I get my hours?” is the question of the day. Fate played a queer little trick on several honor students who were among those sus pended. If their petition for hours, which are taken away in the courses in which the laboratory fees were not paid, is not granted these honor students will be on probation nest ; term. Some regard it as a joke. Others ! furtively consult the time tables. But all are dejected, and as yet with out some hard-worked-for hours. SOCCER CONTEST TODAY OREGON AND O. A. 0. BATTLE THIS MORNING IN CORVALLIS Fifteen Flayers and Coach Barnes Will Make Trip. Varsity Men in Poor Condition for Game Fifteen soccer players and Coach Gerald Barnes leave at 7:00 this morn ing to meet O. A. C. in the tenth con test staged between the two institu tions. The game is booked for 10:00 a. m. on the Aggio turf. Byers, Vester, Brogan, Lau, Ingle, Gowans, McCune, Staton, Wightman, Jacobs, King, Smith, Irelan, Breakey, and Sundeleaf will make the trip. In the nine battles between the twjf schools Oregon has been beaten twice, the two games played in 1917. In three of the games neither team has emergod victor. Two of these ties were in the i contests last year. Oregon’s record shows that on four occasions the Eu gene hooters have annexed more coun ters than their northern rivals. Neither the coach nor the players ex pect to out-score the Aggies in the contest this morning. Due to lack of an adequate field to practice on and a scarsity of uniforms, very little has I been accomplished by the Oregon men | this fall. Also, the best players have I been unfortunate in receiving injuries. | Roycroft will not play today, and “Cliff” Vester, a speedy man who is Oregon’s only ihope on the outside right I wing of the attacking line, is favoring j a broken down arch. ^ But Captain Byers expects his meiT ! to give the Aggies a battle and inci ! dentally get in shape for the contest 1 here Homecoming. FRATERNITIES ON PROBATION Eight fraternities of the University of Iowa have been placed upon proba tion because of a failure to meet the University requirements in regard to grades. GRACE TIGARD MADE 7. W. HEAD Grace Tigard, a senior in physical education, was elected president, of the Y. W. C. A. at the regular meeting in the bungalow this afternoon. The other candidates for the office were LeLaine West and Jessie Todd. Dr. Harold Leonard Bowman gave a short talk at the meeting. i STUDENT’S MOTHER KILLED Gibson Wright, assistant circulation manager of the Emerald, left the campus early this week on account of the deatii of his mother, Mrs. Luella Wright, wh'o was struck by an auto mobile. Wright, whose home is in Portland, is a freshman and has not decided whether he will return to the campus this term. His father is Fred G. Wright, a business man of Port land. ASSEMBLY SPEAKER INVEIGHS AGAINST LIGHT AND TRIVIAL More Earnestness Needed in These Hard Days, Says Dr. H. L. Bowman MANY FACING WRONG WAY Humor Desired, but Vulgarity Deplored; Standard of Eight Held Fixed Lot “Inward Earnestness” be in the ascendancy; lot it rule and let it dis place the desire for pretense and in sincerity at a time when all minds should be turned to the problem of preventing future wars by reducing armaments was the thought that Dr. Harold Leonard Bowman, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Port land gave to the students at the as sembly yesterday. “The public is trying to get away from the ‘thou shalts,’ and the 'thou shalt nots,’” he said, “but there is a standard of right and wrong which cannot be shifted.” Dr. Bowman is a believer in the joyful side of life but emphasized re peatedly that at the base of things tliero was something vastly more im portant. “I am not a reactionary,” he declared. Public Thought in Slump ' The public pays too much attention to the light and fickle, the cheap mo vie show, he thinks. Through it all, there has been a degeneration of the thought of the people since the war. He summos his point up with the statement “Countless numbers of peo ple miss the greatest thing in life because they face the wrong way.” “More grace and less grease; more integrity and less cosmetics,” was the way he pointed out his views. Vul garity in any form was resented by the man or woman with the proper view point. The poem “The Victory Ball," was quoted. It’s idea was that amid the frenzied dance the war seemed for gotten and those who had lost their lives stood by the walls. While pro lems stood unsolved the dancers were unconcerned. He applied this poem to the problem at the present time. Quotation From Booths Dr. Bowman’s subject was selected from a quotation from Ooethe, “It was an inward earnestness.” Courses of study in humor should be offered said Dr. Bowman in starting his address. He believes that humor should occupy a prominent place in one’s life. Ho illustrated his point by a number of stories which brought applause from the audience. He was entertained at luncheon yes terday by the Y. M. C. A. cabinet at the Anchorage. Thirty-five mon were present. He addressed a combined meeting of Eugene churches yesterday evening. FAIRBANKS FINISHES BELIEF Among some of the interesting works in sculpture to be found in the studio of Avard Fairbanks, professor of sculpturing in the University, is a recently completed bas-relief of the two children of Dr. and Mrs. E. J. Labbe of Portland. Mr. Fairbanks has attempted most successfully a difficult three-quarter relief of the head of the little girl and a profile of the boy, making a most interesting and unusual composition. The work is very life like and when finished will be cast in bronze Police Object to Use of Car Station by Frosh for Bonfire I Cops, paddles, hard work and bono 1 chilling mist featured in the erection j of the first section of the frosh bon fire in the wee small hours of Wed nesday night. The police visited the scene about 11:30 to ask for an ex planation of the destruction of the street car station a block from Kin I caid field. President Hesden Metcalf was summoned to appear in police court and answer the charge. Metcalf was i ignorant of the destruction and tho ' class in no way sanctioned the act ac cording to a statement made last night. | The rickity old station was made part of the fire. A committee of frosh was organized to do the most of the paddling work, which was scientifically meted j out to those members of the class who ' did not appear for work during the course of the night. Plans are being made for a public reformation of a few “example*” with the paddle. The fire will not be constructed to the top of the 85 foot center pole for fear of endangering the roofs of the Uni versity buildings, but the frosh con struction committee is still intent upon making the fire the largest evor under taken by a class. The 100 gallons of oil will be supplemented by the ad dition of two barrels of tar which will be placed on top of the fire. The ' lire is being compactly built so that 1 it will not go up in one big blaze. The fine and draft system is being built with barrels. The “Triple A” have promised to feed the boys at midnight on tho ; last three nights during the construe I tion of the fire.
