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.
THACHEE WHITES ARTICLE
An article by Professor W. F. G.
Thacher of the rhetoric department, in
structor in advertising, will appear in
the December number of The Western
Advertiser. The article is entitled “Is
Advertising Teachable?” and is illus

riculum of courses offered as the “ad
option” of the school of journalism, and

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.

ing at 5:50 from Portland, where he
gave an address last night at a dinner
given by the Womans Ad club of that
city, immediately preceded bv a talk
to the business men of Portland at the
Benson hotel.
Mr. Mackintosh has not announced
his subject, but it is expectod that he
will speak on advertising in relation
to education. 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.
As chairman of National Educa

plans that the clubs is now putting
into operation.
Tn an article in the July number of
“ Associated Advertisin g,” titled
“(Mini-leg TTonry Mackintosh, Go-Gotter,
Human Dynamo Extraordinary,” Louis
Balsam says, “The, tiling that inter
ests Ids friends is the fact that Mack,
still a young man, has been able to do
so much in such a comparatively short
time. As a matter of fact there is no
secret about it. Accomplishment al
ways depends upon the intensity with
which one cultivates his time. 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.
SOPHOMORES ARE WELL
HOPPED UP OVER DANCE
1924 Lays Plans for Annual Party of
Class; Friday Is Date Set For
Informal Affair
The class of 1924, or if you wish, the
sophomores arc making things hum this
week, for they are to be hosts at the
annual sophomore hop, which takes
place this Friday at 8 p. in. in the New
Armory.
The sophomore hop, with the frosh
dance and the junior prom, are the
three big dances of the year. The
sophs are doing everything possible
to make this the best of them all.
“Just make the date and step around
Friday night,” they say, “and there
will he no room for doubting this
fact.”
The dance will be informal; dress
suits, taxis and flowers are taboo. Flat
poeketbooks. financial embarrassment,
and other kindred diseases will not
interfere with your good time this Fri
day eve, as there is no admission
charge.
A seven piece orchestra will furnish
the harmony for the evening. Stream
ers and evergreens have been used to
decorate the hall, and colored lights
will add to the warmth and coziness.
The sophomore quartette will furnish
the feature.
