EXECUTIVE COUNCIL WILL SELECT HEAD COACH OF FOOTBALL Meeting December 7 Likely to Consider Men For Position HUNTINGTON ASKS ACTION Present Mentor Leaves Soon With Team for Trip to Hawaii That the selection of a head coach of football will occupy the next ses sion of the executive council, which j will take place Wednesday night, De cember 7, is practically certain. The football committee which recommends to the council the men to be considered for the position, has been in session lately and although nothing is given out by this committee for publication it is thought that they will make a re port by the time of the next reqular session of the executive council. This is the first year that a football ceacli is to be elected under the new constitution. It wi.\ be remembered that the old athletic council s-.lected the head coach last vear. Due to the fact that it has been a policy to grant one year contracts to the heal coach of football it m.v becomes necessary for the executi ve council to select the ccac-h for the next football yjar. Election •? by Council Under the new constitution and the student organization which the consti tution calls for, the football committee recommends to the executive council the man it believes to be best suited for the position. The executive council then elects the coach, although it is not necessary to follow out the recom mendation of the football committee unless the members see fit to do so. The members of the football com mittee who were appointed, by the president of the University, and the president of the associated students, are: Dean Colin V. Dyment, faculty representative; L. L. Goodrich, alumni representative; Mart Howard, George King and Spike Leslie, student rep resentatives. Personnel Is Given The members of the executive coun cil who elect the coach for the coming year are: Lyle Bartholomew, chair man; President P. L. Campbell, Pro fessor H. C. Howe, and Dean John F. Bovard, faculty representatives; Norton Winnard, Helen Carson, Balf Couch, Marc Latham and Wanna Mc Kinney, student representatives; and Dean Walker and Karl Onthank, alum ni representatives. Jack Benefiel is a member of the council but has no vote in the sessions. Charles A. “Shy” Huntington, at present head coach, will leave Decem ber 14 for an extended trip with the football team for the Hawaiian Islands, and it is understood that he has re quested that the executive council take action on the matter of electing the coach for the coming year, in order that he may make his plans accordingly.

Caesar Seized With Ambition; 7 Ducks Slain Caesar was ambitious, came, saw, and conquered. But Caesar was too ambit ious and thereby lost favor with his people. There is a Caesar in Eugene that has greatly harmed his popularity in much the same manner—he got too ambiti ous. Caesar is a canine and has lived at the Kappa Sig house for the last 10 years in peace and royalty, until Tuesday afternoon. Seven ducks, won by the brothers, had been given lodging in the base ment. Tuesday they were taken out onto the front lawn for a feast. Caesar at the front window gazed longingly, jealous at the favor given them. Plans were undoubtedly being formed in the crafty Caesar's brain for their dis posal. When the brothers had left for their afternoon classes the treacherous Ro man struck. He entered the basement by forcing open a window. Like a good assassin he did his work well. Not a quack was heard and the crime was not discovered until late after noon when the sadly mutilated bodies of seven ducks were found in various parts of the underground chamber. Caesar has wiped out his adver saries but he is not the Caesar of old for he goes about with hanging head, for the crime weighs heavy upon him and lie fears Brutus. CHI WILL SING MASS GLEE CLUBS TO GIVE FAMOUS ST. CECILIA MUSIC Madame McGrew, John B. Seifert, and J. Erwyn Mutch to be Soloists at Vespers Sunday One of the most difficult programs ever attempted by the University Glee Clubs will be given at the Vesper ser vice at the Methodist church next Sun day afternoon, when the combined men’s and women’s glee clubs with Madame Rose McGrew, soprano; John B. Siefert, tenor, and J. Erwin Mutch, baritone, as soloists, will give the St. Cecilia Mass. Madame McGrew is well known on the campus both as a soloist and as a teacher. She recently appeared in a leading role with the Portland Opera association and was very enthusias tically received. Mr. Siefert, also a member of the faculty of the University school of music, has proven a favorite with mu sic lovers in Eugene as well as in the University. He has a voice of unusual power and colour and each time ho appears his audience enjoys a real musical treat. Mr. Mutch, of Portland, will be re membered as the soloist who appeared in the second of the Women’s League concert series. He is coming from Portland especially for this Vesper ser vice and his excellent voice will add greatly to the artistic wTorth of the program. John Stark Evans, professor of piano at the University school of music, as well as director of the Vesper Choir, will be the organist on Sunday. In his combined work of organist and director Mr. Evans has proven himself a real artist and the fact that he is in charge of the program assures its worth. The Vesper Choir of 48 voices will be heard to advantage in the beauti ful chorus of the mass. There is much solo and trio work also in which the three soloists will be heard. The St. Cecelia Mass is divided into six parts, the Kvrie, the Gloria, the Credo, the Sanctus, Benedictus am! Angus Dei, and the entire Vesper ;;er \ ice will be devoted to its rendition. The program will begin promptly at 4-30 on Sunday afternoon. Scholarship Committee Works Seasonally Under New System The time of year is approaching when the scholarship committee, for merly known as the probation com mittee, will begin to hold meetings. Under the new system of no cuts and no posts the work of the committee be comes seasonal, and meets principally around the ends of terns. University regulation number 92 states that “any member of the ad ministration or instructive staff of the university may refer to the pro bation committee any eases which seem eligible for exceptional ruling, both as to being put on probation and as to being dropped from the university rolls. In all such cases the committee has power to act.” The scholarship committee received yesterday its' first request under the new regulation which went into effect the first of this term. This request asked that three men be placed on pro bation for excessive absences. According to Dean Dyment the scholastic morale has been rather good this fall. “The percentage of stu dents who are honestly trying to do a solid day’s work in all of their courses has been so high that the term has slipped along with very little creak ing,” said Dean Dyment. The percentage of Btudents who have had their work interferred with by outside activities is however, as large as ever. The freshman bonfire es pecially interferred with work, so that it is considered probable that some members of the faculty will ask for restrictive legislation in the matter, for the future. On the whole, however, the opinion is that students are “bucking down” more than usual this term. Hugo Bezdek, Former Oregon Mentor, Will Visit Campus Monday Coach of Lemon-Yellow Team Which Defeated Pennsylvania 14-0 to be Guest; Rally May be Held to Show Oregon Spirit Still Exists; Pro teges Are Not Able to Come; Trophies Won in Bez’s Day May be Shown to Students. A telegram was received yesterday i from Hugo Bezdek, former football coach of the University of Oregon, to the effect that he would arrive in Eu gene on next Monday. President Camp bell and Lyle Bartholomew, president of the student body, each extended to him an invitation to visit this campus during his trip to the West. Bezdek is accompanying the football team of the Pennsylvania State College of which he is coach, to the Univer sity of Washington at Seattle where the two teams will clash Saturday. The original plan was that Bezdek should bring the entire P. S. C. team to Eugene with him and be entertained by the student body. His football team has been obliged to decline the invi tation due to the necessity of hurrying back to class work. In answer to the invitation which lie extended to Bezdek President Camp bell received the following reply: “Thanks. Will visit University Mon day.” Lyle Bartholomew' also received a wire from him sending the regrets of the team. It reads, “Thank you, how ever impossible to accept kind invita tion as team must get back to class work. Personally will visit Eugene Monday.” No definite plans have been formu lated for the reception of the Univer sity's former mentor. Bartholomew^ taking- the affairs in hand and will appoint a reception committee today. Tentative plans include a student body rally to show the coach that the “Ore gon Spirit” is still with us, and per haps a banquet to be given by the Eu gene Chamber of Commerce to show Be/.dek that the city has not forgotten him in his absence. It is hoped that in some way an elaborate demonstra tion may be provided for and perhaps all the trophies which were won bv the Cniversity when Bezdek was coach can be brought forward for the sake of old times. It is hoped that Bezdek will address the students at an as sembly and tell how he has fared after having left Oregon. Due to the departure of President Campbell for Portland last night, Karl Onthank, secretary to the president, will have charge of the entertainment. It is not vet. known at what hour he will arrive or how long tie will stay. Arrangements will probably be made for those who knew and worked under Bezdek when lie was hero to get to gether for a grand reunion. The aid of the Oregon Knights will be enlisted for the carrying out of the arrange ments which are to be made today. Everyone else is asked to co-operate and respond to the requests which the reception committee may ask.

Mr. Mackintosh is known as a man who has a keen in sight into educational problems, re sulting both from his training and his natural inclinations, and while he is thoroughly alive to, and very much interested in, tho broad and effective truth-in-advertising work which tho advertising association is doing, he is determined also, that every advertis ing club in tho association shall do forceful and productive work along educational lines.

Mack intosh has made every minute count, lie is one of the comparatively few in America who is really master of him self.” Preceding Mr. Mackintosh’s as sembly address, Miss Beulah f’lnrk, in structor in the school of music, will play a flute solo.
