NUMBER 40
WOMEN STUDENTS
URGE COOPERATION
Important Decisions Reached
at Berkeley Conference,
Says Oregon Delegate
CLEAN POLITICS FAVORED
Plans Made to Include High
Schools in Vocational
Convention Annually
That the Woman’s league should re
ceive a portion of the money obtained
from the sale of student body cards,
that better operation between faculty
and students should be fostered and a
closer organization of women students
effected were among the measures ad
vocated at the second annual con
ference of associated women students
just held at Berkeley, Calif.
The following decisions were made
by the conference, according to Miss
Ella Rawlings, president of the Wo
man’s league, who represented the Ore
gon students.
1. That dormitories assist in bring
ing together organization and non
organization women whereby they in
crease scholarship and student activit
ies.
2. That in colleges where scholarship
prizes are awarded among sororities
and house clubs, competition for higher
scholarship is keener, but scholarship
should be regarded as an end in itself,
and that too much stress should not
be laid on material rewards. That
there is a decided tendency in western
institutions to stress scholarship.
Honor System Approved
3. That the honor system in stu
dent government is the better way to
control student bodies.
4. That University women as repre
sented through the Associated Women
Students should stand absolutely for
clean politics on the campus.
5. That the Associated Women Stu
dents should be given a portion of the
money received through the sale of as
sociated student body cards, and a
resolution to this effect should be sent
to all'colleges, this to apply only to
institutions wherein such a condition
does not exist.
6. That faculty cooperation is very
desirable though universities have never
had satisfactory cooperation between
faculty and students, but progress is
being made in this direction.
7. That delegates, on returning to
their respective universities should
spread through the student body an
appreciation of the faculty and give
to the faculty itself the realization
that students are in earnest and seek 1
expert guidance.
8. That smoking among women stu
dents will not be tolerated by college
women.
Point System Discussed
9. That campus activities and the
point system should work hand in hand,
but activities will tend toward a
broadening of themselves and will tend
to raise scholarship.
10. That a vocational conference each
year should be held preferably in the
spring, to which representatives from
various high schools in the state would
be sent to inform high school students j
of courses in colleges and to advise
them what kinds of clothing to bring.
Topics left for future discussion
specialization and balance in college
courses, in which a cultural back
ground is laid before a special topic

Boner Gives
Aggies Many
First Downs
The sports editor, Ep Hoyt, threw
up his hands in unholy horror.
‘•Whaddye mean the Aggies made 38
first downs from scrimmage.” The
object of his interrogation, the night
editor, said he didn’t mean it and it
must have been the operator’s fault,
the night operator immediately dis
claimed any knowledge of the Ag
gies getting any first downs at all
let alone 38, and blames it on the
cat. Anyway, something got twisted,
and here’s the way the disputed sen
j tence broke into print, “Oregon made
5 first downs from scrimmage as
against 38 for the collegians,” and
here, gentle reader, is the way the
copy read, “Oregon made five first
downs from scrimmage against one
for the Ags, and 136 yards from
scrimmage against 38 for the col
legians.” So that’s that, though we
do hope the Aggies didn’t take our
little slip too seriously and think
we meant it.
ARMAMENT FORUM TOPIC
DR. SHELDON TO HAVE SOCIAL
PHASE OF CONFERENCE
Dr. Gilbert Will Talk on Financial
Conditions Later; F. R. Rutter to
Discuss Pacific Problems
The first of a series of forums on
specific phases of the conference on
the limitations of armaments will be
held at the Y Hut Tuesday evening,
Nov. 29, at 7 o’clock. Dr. H. D. Shel
don, dean of the school of education,
■will discuss “The Bearing of the Con
ference on the Great Social Questions
Facing the World.”
Other subjects to follow, this term,
will be “The Financial Questions In
volved in Disarmament,” by Dr. James
Gilbert, and “The Pacific Problem,”
with F. R. Rutter, professor of foreign
trade, handling the Japanese point of
view, and a man yet to be selected,
handling the Chinese contentions.
The plan for the forums is a half
hour lecture on the issues involved
and then a half hour of open discus
sion and quizzing of the speaker by the
audience.
This plan has grown out of the in
terest felt in the conference by the
student body and faculty and the de
sire to get more information on the
specific problems and to think them
through. Mr. B. F. Irvine, who was
brought to assembly by the student
body, opened up the general issues and
since then the plan for forums was ,
gotten under way by the campus F. 1
M. C. A. and was approved by the
student council. The committee in
charge is Roy Veatcli, Jason McCune, j
and Dean E. C. Robbins.
DOUGHNUT DEBATES OFF
Postponed Till After Thanksgiving
Because of Shortage of Judges
The doughnut debates which were to
have been held last night have been
postponed till next Tuesday and Wed
nesday, according to Paul Patterson,
manager of debate. “The reason for
this,” said Mr. Patterson, “is that out
of all the faculty members, we were
unable to secure the 22 needed to act
as judges for these debates.”
All the preliminary debates will be
held next Tuesday and Wednesday,
Nov. 29 and 30, and the finals will be
held the following Tuesday, Dec. 6.
NO EMERALD TOMORROW
This is the last Emerald of the
week due to the holiday tomorrow,
and the fact that large numbers of
students will be gone.
Versatility of Winifred Byrd
Pleases University Audience
By REUBEN GOFEREIEBE
Winifred Byrd, “Oregon’s own pian
ist,” was greeted with enthusiasm at
Guild hall on last Monday evening. Her
clever effects in tone and technique
showed what a worthy person she is.
From crashing fortissimos, built up
largely by a powerful left hand, to
tender piano passages, her playing
abounded in temperment and passion.
To some perhaps the sense of effort,
resulting from certain mannerisms was
at first distracting, bat this was soon
forgotten. To watch the tiny hands
that compassed the task they strove for
was a cause of wonderment to the
audience. On the Guild hall stage,
which due to its own smallness has a
tendency to make the performer appear
larger than actually is the case, one did
not realize how small Miss Bvrd really
is. It was not until after the concert
when a reception was given in the
Alumni room of the Woman’s build-,
mg that one became aware of her
diminutive size.
She seemed especially happy in her
pianissimo work. The “Scherzino” of
the Schumann Suite, the “II Penseroso”
of Liszt, the MacDowell “Improvisa
tion” and Chopin’s “Etude on Black
Keys” were particularly effective. The
delicacy of some of the Chopin “Pre
ludes” and the energetic brilliancy of
others were a pleasing contrast.
Particularly is Winifred Byrd in
dividual in her interpretations, and al
though one could not always agree with
her, as in the “Blue Danube Waltz”
for instance, one could not but feel
a keen delight in a change. An inde
pendent thinker, bringing interesting
and novel effects to her selections.
She proved to those who met her
that an artist of our day not only
should, but does have a knowledge of
other things in life besides the one
line of pursuit. This no doubt accounts
for her abounding sincerity and inter
esting personality.
SOUTHERN PACIFIC
WILL RUN SPECIAL
10 PORTLAND AT 4
Storm Havoc Forces Long De
tour; Usual Stops to be
Made; Fares Regular
TRAFFIC TO EAST BLOCKED
Oregon Electric Discontinues
Train Service Because of
Serious Washouts
A special train for the University
of Oregon students who plan to spend
the Thanksgiving vacation at home,
will leave for Portland on the Southern
Pacific line at 4 o ’clock this after
noon, according to information given
out at the local office of the company
yesterday. Due to the fact that seri
ous washouts have occured, the train
will be forced to make a long detour,
which will lengthen the running time.
Regular fares will rule, and the usual
stops will be made.
Northbound trains will leave over the
Southern Pacific tracks at 11 a. in.
and 4:29 p. m., in addition to the stu
dent-special. Southbound trains will
leave Eugene at 1:23 p. m., 6:55 p. m.,
and 11:30 p. m. The service has been
crippled particularly by the washing
out of a trestle near Marion, south of
Salem.
Due to the fact that the trestle be
tween Deever and the Santiam has
washed out, the Oregon Electric will
not be able to run trains until the
first of the week. A mile and a half
of water, this side of the Santiam
bridge, has been reported, and until
the water receded, it will be impossible
to ascertain whether the approach to
the steel bridge is still intact. Up
until today no power has been avail
able and unless it is obtained, it will
be impossible to give train service
before a week or ten days, according
to Station Agent W. P. Kennedy.
It is thought that a larger number
of students will remain on the cam
pus for the holidays tha . usually do
because train service to all points east
of Portland is at a standstill. Although
it is improbable that many of the stu
dents would go as far as the eastern
part of the state even were conditions
normal, those who live at The Dalles
or way points are affected by the
tie-up in traffic. The uncertainty of
travel to Portland is altering the plans
of others.
BASKET BALI FIVES
STRONG THIS (EAR;
RESULTS UNCERTAIN
Doughnut Teams Play Clean
Games With Bohler, Durno
and Andre Umpires
—
FIJIS NOW LEADING LEAGUE
Schedule Only About Third
j Over; May Continue Well
Into Winter Term
The present dougnut basketball season
is characterized by the unusual number
of strong teams in the league, and al
though the season is now a third over, j
the winner is by uo means easy to pick.
The Fijis are leading the league, aud
look like a strong combination, but they
still have several strong teams to play,
and the outcome will be in doubt till
the final games.
The dougnuv games last year have done
much good in that the players ’ added ox
pierence speeds up the games, making
them more interesting to the spectators, I
and also helped to bring new material to
view.
More Interest Shown
There is a great deal more interest
being taken in the series this year than
in former years, both among tho players
and spectators. Practically all of the
teams have spent a great deal of time
practicing, several of them with outside
teams.
Doughnut series in former years re
sembled something between a football
game and a prize fight, according to
reports of games played four or five
years ago, aud the team with the most
beef usually came out ahead, This year
Kefrees Bohler, Durno, and Andre, have
been holding the game strictly to basket
ball, even if the spectators do lose the
attraction of an occasional fight.
Three Teams in Close Race
The teams which have shown the best
basketball so far, and are making the
strongest bids for the cup aro the Fijis,
Kappa Theta Chi, and Kappa Sigma
quintets. The Fijis have a well-balanced
team, while their guards Boar and Schaf
fer add to the all around speed of the
team. The Kappa Theta Chi team is
built around one man, Zimmerman, so
when he goes strong the whole team

WASHINGTON EXPECTS BIG THINGS
OF ITS FOOTBALL TEAM NEXT YEAR
Bagshaw Will Have Several of His Old Stars Prom Everett High Who
Are Now Members of His Crushing Freshman Squad—But Penn
State May Run Up Score Dec. 3—Conference Meetings May be
Important.
By MAX
Up at Washington they are talking
about what they are going to do next ■
year. Maybe they will do something
next season. They did have a whale
of a freshman team this season that
much is certain. It so happens that i
the most of the freshman players came !
from Everett, Washington, where Bag
shaw coached the high school team be
fore he went to the Sundodgers, and
this has proved an advantage in the
past.
For instance, a number of big “C”
men at California were developed in
this manner. “Nibs” Price, who is
Andy Smith’s right hand man at Cal,
used to coach the San Diego high
school team. His team won the inter
scholastic championship of the state. !
and then Price went to California as
assistant coach. The men who had
played under him at San Diego went
to Berkeley and entered college. Now
there are eight of these same men wear
ing their football letter. And among
them are “Brick” Muller, “Brodie”
Stephens, Englebreitsen, and Eells, all
men whom you read about in the ac
counts of the “wonder team’s” play
ing.
Washington fans may be prepared
to see their team go down to an over
whelming defeat December 3, in the
opinion of the many friends of Hugo
Bezdek about the Oregon campus.
It seems that Bezdek still holds that
old animosity towards Washington that
he used to have when he was coaching
the lemon-yellow and Oilmore Dobie
was directing the Sundodgers. At any
rate it will be well worth going to
Seattle to see that great Penn State ,
football machine in action. December 3.
There may be some developments at
the conference meetings in December,
and there may not. From all reports,
the two conferences will convene about
the same time. The Northwest con
ference members will meet December
8, the Pacific Coast conference, De
cember 9 and 10. Both will be in
Portland. As usual procedure, all mem
bers of the conferences make up their
football schedule for the coming season
at that time. It is understood that
some members, however, have been try
ing to get away from the idea this
year and schedule their games ahead
of this meeting.
if this practice is allowed it will
soon result in disaster. The limita
tion of armament conference will prob
ably have nothing on the meeting of
the Pacific Coast and Northwest con
ferences in Portland, when it comes
to diplomats. It might be well to lay
the cards on the table and get away
from some of this secrecy stuff. The
students at the various colleges and
the general public would feel far more
friendly if some such plan wore
adopted.
More friendly relations between
various institutions on the coast over
athletic relations are sure to result if
they can get away from the feeling
that the other fellow is trying to put
something over in the conference meet
ings.
Oregon plays a nine-game schedule
this year, yet opposed more than three i
conference games last year at the ses
sion of representatives in Ban Fran
cisco. Why not play a schedule of five
games f Everybody will be better satis
fied, there will be fewer disputes over
the title, it should afford two good i
games for the home campus, two tor
the other fellow and one in Portland !

Rooters Must
Do No Piggin’
At Next Game
Whan the varsity football team
meets the Multnomah club in Port
land on Thanksgiving day Yell King
“Obie” plans on having 400 or more
vociferous units of the Thundering
Thousand on hand to send the old
yells echoing across the field and to
incidentally lend to the Thanksgiv
ing game a bit of college color. Those
students who will migrate in the
general direction of the state me
tropolis tonight and tomorrow are
asked not to forget their lemon and
yellow war bonnets.
There will be no pigging during
the game. This is the emphatic de
cree sent forth from the wigwam of
the yell chieftains. “Obie” intends
to demonstrate to the Portlanders
that Oregon fight is reciprocal be
tween team and rooters, ..and be
lieves that the spirit of chivarly or
attentiveness to a fair companion
would detract from vocal efficiency. ,
The rooters will have a special
section in the bleachers. No down
town rally will precede the game.
Referring to the stunt staged dur
ing the Homocoming game last Sat
urday, Oberteuffler expressed his
thanks for the cooperation of the i
students in executing the feature, j
The stunt was very effective, and
receive many compliments from tho
spectators seated in the grand stand.
“Shy” Huntington was the person
who suggested this feature and the
animated “O” arrangement was plan
ned by Oberteuffer. It is understood
that Stanford was the first college
to effectively put on a colored card
board feature. It is planned to elabo
rate this striking feature of a chang
ing color animated “O” and use it
during the big gamos at Oregon next
year.
“SWANWHITE” TO 8E GIVEN
COMPANY WILL STAGE SECOND
PLAY DECEMBER 7 AND 8
Spectacular Effect Expected in Fairy
Fantasy; Mulkey to Have
Charge of Properties
* i . i auu aio biui ualca st’b
for “Swanwhite” a fantasy by August
Strindberg, which is to be the second
play produced by the dramatic com
pany this term. The play is a fairy
dream and it offers the greatest pos
sibilities in stage sotting, costumes,
and technic. Tt lias become a tradi
tion that the campany produce some
sort of a fantasy near Christmas time,
and this will likely bo one of the best
of its kind over produced on the cam
pus. Great care is being taken in work
ing out both the setting and the cos
tumes and a very spectacular effect
is expected to be produced. The play
carries one away from all modern com
mercialism and the hurry that marks
the present day and goes back to the
land where dreams rule. The play is
expected to be a success because in
nately every one lives a fairy story.
The cast is composed of members of
the junior company and many of them
are making their appearance on Guild
hall stage for the first time. The part
of Swanwhite will be played by Dorna
Coolidge and the part of the prince by
f harles Fish. Kdwin TCeeeh will play
the part of the Duke, and Helen Enoch
the part of the stepmother. Sadye
Eccles, Hildegarde Repinen, and Mabel
Gilham are to play the parts of the
maids. Margaret Nelson has the part
of Swanwhite’s mother and Thelma
Gannaway the part of the mother of
the prince. John Ellestad will play
the part of the gardener.
Properties of the fantasy are in
charge of Virgil Mulkey, a major in
the department. Besides the usual
scenic effects, the play calls for save
ral illusions and magical scenes which
are to be designed by Mulkey, who has
had a great deal of experience along
this line.
FACULTY MEMBERS URGE
REDUCTION IN NAVIES
Telegram Will be Sent to American
Representatives; Publicity
of Proceedings Urged
Faculty members of the University
have prepared a telegram to be sent
to the American delegation at the
conference on limitation of armaments,
commending the idea of naval reduc
tions as urged on the conference by
Secretary Hughes. The telegram, pre
pared by Eric W. Allen, dean of the
school of journalism, and Eldon Grif
fin, professor of history, is receiving
the signatures of other faculty members
and will be sent to Washington within
a few days. The text follows:
“To the American Delegation to the
Disarmament Conference— University
of Oregon faculty members approve
policy of mutual concession and im
mediate action toward reduction of
armaments and urge utmost practicable
publicity at conference.”

Close Contest Expected as
Clubmen Have Not Yet
Been Defeated
LAST GAME FOR VARSITY
Huntington Hopes to Win by
Decisive Score; Leslie
Held in Reserve
TICKETS AT CO-OP
Tickets for the Multnomah game
In Portland may be purchased at
the Co-op for 83 cents upon presen
tation of st-.dent body tickets. Seats
for 500 students are being held as
a rooters’ section. Reserved seats
may be obtained at Hauser’s sport
ing goods store.
The entire football squad, 30 strong,
will make the trip to Portland to wage
battle with the strong winged “M”
aggregation on Multnomah field
Thanksgiving afternoon. It should bo
a good game, take tho dope-—if you
still believe in dope after Saturday,
whichever way you woro doping,
—its a tossup either way, for Multnomah
battled tho Aggies to a seven-all draw
at Corvallis early in the season.
Tho Lemon-Yellow will be weakened
by the loss of two stars. “Spiko” Les
lie has a broken thumb and will not
enter the lists unless ho is needed,
“Prink” Oallison, center, will not get
into the linen]) as he has an infected
foot. Bark Laughlin will work in
his place. Bark will give a good ac
count of himself, for although he is
small for tho position he has a world
of “fight” in his makeup.
Leslie win wot i-iay
Probably, Dick Rood or “Chuck”
Parsons wlli start in tho loft tackle
berth in Spike's place, with Leslie held
in reserve. If possible, or in other
words, if tho boys can hold the heavy
clubmen, Shy Intends giving a good
number of his second stringers a chance
to get action in the game Thursday.
Multnomah has nn imposing record
tucked away for tho current season.
The clubmen have played some of the
strongest teams in the West without
a defeat. They have beaten them all
handily with the exception of the Ore
gon Aggies who held them to a draw.
Gonzaga, Whitman, the Olympic club
and the Ninth Army corps have all
gone down before the onrush of the
winged “M.”
Good Game Expected
With the wonderful improvement
that Huntington’s men have made in
the last few weeks it is bound to be
a great game, who ever wins. Judg
ing from the way in which the var
sity has improved, they have a good
ehance to win from the clubmen in
spite of the imposing list of wins shown
by the Portland aggregation.
With the Turkey day mix with tho
clubmen in Portland tho season closes
for the Lemon-Yellow, that is, tho
United States part of it, and there will
remain only the holiday contests in far
away Hawaii. While the game Thurs
day has no bearing on the conference
standings Huntington is anxious to
win by a decisive score to establish
the fact that Oregon has a real team
in spite of a poor getaway.
The varsity will probably line up
against the clubmen as follows: Left
end, Captain Howard: left tackle, Par
sons or Reed: left guard, T. Shields;
center, Bark Laughlin; right guard,
Flovd Shields; right tackle, Von dor
Ahe; right end, Brown; quarter, Chap
man; left half, Johnson; right half,
King; fullback, Latham.
Y. W. EXPECTS TO CLEAR
$50 ON FLOWER SALE
770 Chrysanthemums Bought But
Damaged in Handling and
Not All Salable
About 770 chrysanthemums were pur
chased by tho Y. W. C. A. for the an
nual chrysanthemum sale during Home
coming, and all flowers that were in
salable condition were disposed of. Al
though all the money from the sale
has not yet been turned in, the Y. W.
C. A. expects to clear about $f>0 which
will go to the curtain and rug fund
for tho Bungalow.
Not ns much was mnde as had beou
counted on because of the great num
ber of blooms that were damaged in
handling, and according to Miss Doro
thy Collier, Y. W. secretary, a flower
sale is not a specially lucrative pro
ceeding.
The sale was handled by the student
committee of the Y. W. C. A. of which
Glenn Frank is chairman.
