ADVERTISING CLUBS’
| HEAD TELLS HOW TO
SUCCEED IK SELLING
Chas. H. Mackintosh Relates
Early Experience Getting
Buyers” Interest
J. J. HANDSAKER SPEAKS
State Director of Near East
Relief Makes Appeal to
Student Assembly
“Never try to sell the article which
you are selling, but sell the use to
which the article can be put,” said
Charles Henry Mackintosh, of Chicago,
President of the Associated Advertis
ing Clubs of the World, in his address
to the student body in Villard hall
Thursday morning.
“This is the keynote to successful
selling” he added, “The salesman must
! put himself in the place of the person
who may buy. The gist of the whole
thing can be summed up in five words,
‘ Put yourself in his place ’.”
How Not to Sell
To illustrate the way of the suc
cessful advertiser Mr. Mackintosh told
of his early experience in the field of
advertising. When he first went into
the advertising game he accepted a
position with a logging machinery com
pany. His business was to write ads
for the machinery. Mackintosh thought
that he had better go out on the road
and sell for awhile and then start his
advertising work. He was detailed
with a man who was a machanical
engineer and builder of logging mach
inery. The man proved to be a poor
salesman and during the time he was
with Mackintosh he failed to sell a
single logging engine. The man failed
to talk about the advantages in the use
of the machine, but tried to tell the
prospective buyer how the machine was
put together, and his clients dozed on
him.
The Way It’s Done
Mr. Mackintosh then went out with
the star salesman of the company. This
man engaged the prospective buyers
in conversation but not on the merits
of the machine he was selling. In time
he worked around to the subject of
logging and the cost of getting logs
out of the woods, and the number of
men employed. The salesman then
cited the method employed by a neigh
boring logging camp and after a visit j
to the camp a deal was made. The
sale was made without many words on i
the part of the salesman.
“It isn’t what we know, but what
we do with what we know,” the speaker
said, “that gets us by.”
Near East Belief Appeal Made
John J. Handsaker, State director of
the Near East Relief, who recently re
turned from the famine-stricken region,
spoke to the students on the existing
conditions there. In Constantinople he
saw relief workers debating whether
they should allow some 2500 children
out of 5000 to perish in order to bring
the rest up in a normal state or to di
vide the available resources in a way ;
to bring them all up in a sub-normal !
state. At the conclusion of his appeal
to the students in behalf of the starv- ,
ing multitude, Mr. Handsaker intro- j
duced Miss Margaret Reid, a relief
worker, who stayed at her post in spite
of dangers which caused the British
army officers to order her away from
there, and mothered 2000 children for
two years, defying the army’s order.
Miss Reid, who is a teacher in the Jef
ferson school of Portland, received an
ovation when introduced to the as
sembly.
Miss Beulah Clark, instructor in the
school of music gave two excellent se
lections on the flute.
FRIENDSHIP COMMITTEE
APPROVES Y. W. CAMPAIGN
Money to be Used for European Stu
dent Belief; Pot and Quill to Sell
Candy at Basketball Games
The student friendship committee,
which handles all campus drives, met
yesterday afternoon at four o’clock,
in Guild hall, and voted to allow the
T. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. to
establish a booth on the campus where
voluntary contributions could be made
for the European Belief Fund. The I
committee also approved the proposal
of Pot and Quill to sell candy at the
basketball games. The Y. W. C. A.
campaign for funds was allowed.
The function of this group is to guard
the students against too many non
university drives.
Ford or Stutz?
Dean Straub to
Purchase Auto
Whether it is due to the bad weather
lately, or whether the rise in standards
causes so much work that the faculty
have to be in their offices before the
cars start running in the morning or
whether it is due to some other ob
scure cause—but something has lead
Dean Straub to seek the comfortable
speedy and almost ever ready auto
mobile.
Maybe Dean Straub is worrying over
the freshmen, and they absorb so much
of his time that he needs a quicker
means of transportation to keep in
touch with their doings.
So far it seems to be a deep dark
secret what type of a machine it is
to be so the general public is left to
wonder whether it will be a Hudson
Super Six, a Stanley Steamer or the
lowly but serviceable Ford, but what
ever it is to be Dean Straub promises
that it will make its appearance in the
very near future.
PICTURES WORRY RECANA
—
INDIVIDUAL CUTS OF SENIORS
AND JUNIORS WANTED
Solios Must Have Background And Are
Needed by All Except Members
of Glee Clubs
Pictures—individual, group, snaps
and solios are now the chief worry of !
the Orogana staff. All students should
make arrangements before Saturday for
their pictures for the Oregana. In
dividual pictures of every student in
every house, of all members of each
honorary organization, of staff mem
bers of all publications, of all stu
dent body officers, and all members
of the senior and junior classes will go
in this year’s Oregana.
All solios for cuts should have black
back grounds, so pictures that were
taken for last year’s Oregana should
not be used this year. One must have
a solio for each time his or her pic
ture goes in the annual. These can be
procured from the photographer with
out an extra expense.
Group pictures will be taken of the
men’s glee club, and the women’s glee
club, and also of the orchestra. Stu
dents in these organizations will not
need a solio. Rumor has it that jun
iors will have only snaps of themselves
in the Oregana. The staff wishes to
put this rumor to route, for juniors will
have individual pictures and solios
will be needed.
COSSMAN FAINTS ON MAT
Complete Exhaustion Caused by Over
Exertion From 3 Hours Wrestling
Henry D. Cossman, a freshman, in
the physical education department lost
consciousness, late yesterday afternoon,
as a result of over-exertion and com
plete exhaustion, caused by too much
wrestling. He had been on the wrestl
ing mat from two to five o’clock, and
was engaged in active work the greater
part of the time.
When ordinary methods failed to
bring the boy too, the infirmary at
tendants were called and a respirator
applied. When Cossman regained con
sciousness, he was removed to the in
firmary on a stretcher. The nurse in
charge of the infirmary stated last
evening that Cossman would be able
to go home today. He is the son of
John H. Cossman, 1411 Agate Street,
Eugene.
RETURN OF HUGO BI
MEMORIES OF HAR
Stories Are Told of Former Coach who
Chicago; Northwest Conference Tii
to Learn From Mistakes Said to
By EP HOYT
With the return of Hugo Bezdek to
the campus Monday memories of the
days of Oregon’s supremacy on the
gridiron will return. Bezdek is ono
of the great coaches in American foot
ball and his record since his advent as
mentor at Penn State in 1918 has prov
en that his work with the varsity was
not a flash in the pan. Probably hi3
most noteworthy performance while the
director of Oregon's football destinies
was the defeat he handed the Pennsyl
vania eleven at Pasadena on New
Year’s day, 1917. Though Pennsyl
vania with one of the strongest teams
in its history was conceded an easy
victory over the Oregon team, Bezdek’s ;
mm came through and turned the 1
Pennsylvanians btek ir. a game in |
which Oregon clearly excelled, by a
14 C score.
Bezdek came to Oregon in 1906 from
Chicago where he had played under
Stagg. In his first year at Oregon he
won a nlorthwest championship and ;
trimmed the University of Washington !
16-6. At the close of that season B<-/.- >

DIM WILL SELECT
ALL STAR DOUGHNUT
BASKETJLL TEAM
15 Doughnut League Players
Chosen by Bohler For
Varsity Training
FIJIS SECURE IN LEAD
Proposed Varsity Christmas
Trip May be Called Off
by Lack of Games
A new feature of the doughnut bas
ketball series this year will be the
selection of an All-Star team by Eddie
Durno, probably with the help of Coach
Bohler. This is the first year that
this scheme has been tried, but it will
serve to rouse the interest of both the
players and the fans. There will be
two teams picked from the 85 or 90
men who are playing in the series, all
of whom are eligible for the team.
The Fijis have practically cinched
the series now, after last nights win
over the Dclts, and with only one or
two games of any importance to play}
have the best chance to have some of
their men on the team. Most of the
men will no doubt bo picked from some
of the squads near the top of the per
centage column, for they have prac
tically all of the strong men in the
league.
Series May be Shortened
The doughnut games are taking so
much time, and on account of them, the
Varsity has to do its practicing late
in the evening, so for this reason the
department is working on a scheme
which will eliminate all but the first
eight teams after next week, and then
these eight teams will fight it out for
their places in the league. This plan
will eliminate most of the teams that
have no standing on the percentage
list, and will serve to make all of the
games faster and more interesting.
The games for next Week will include
all of the teams in the league though,
so some of the teams still have a chance
to make their place among the first
eight.
Fijis May Get Cup
If the Fijis succeed in beating the
A. T. O. ’s and S. A. E.’s in the next
few games, the cup will then be award
ed to them as they have beaten all of
the other teams that have any stand
ing at all. The cup is at present in
posession of the Kappa Sigs. To win
this cup permanently a house has to
win three years in succession.
The varsity squad which was picked
from the best men in doughnut series
is practicing regularly on Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday nights at 8:30,
getting in condition for the Christmas
vacation tour which Coach Bohler is
planning, and which is at present prac
tically a sure thing according to state
ments by the coaches.
Whether or not the varsity basket
ball team will make the Christmas va
cation tour depends upon the number
of games that can still be obtained.
Due to the fact that no definite deci
sion had been reached regarding the

First Came to Oregon In 1906 From

in several years learning the fine
points of football coaching under Stngg.
It was during his second stay at Ore
gon that Bezdek won national recog
nition, by his system of coaching and

field. Today, with enviable records at
two great schools behind him he is
rated as one of the four great coaches
of the country.
Although Bez is a clever leader of
men, a strong leader who impresses i
his personality on those under him, a
psychologist who understands all the |
foibles and whimsies of football stars,1
as a successful producer understands
the idiosyncrasies of his prima donnas,
he is no parlor exhorter. In fact Bez
used to be a little rough with the boys
back in 1906 when he was fresh from j
his own football days under Btagg the !
story goes that in the game with Wash

language that the boys resented it and

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION TO
BUILD UP LOAN FUND
More Money Wanted to Supplement
Mary Splller Scholarship
Award of $272.62
The Alumnae Association, composed
of the women graduates of the Univer
sity of 6regon, is planning to increase
its membership so that it will be pos
sible to keep up a loan fund in ad
dition to the Mary Spiller scholarship,
according to Janette Calkins, member
of the Mary Spiller scholarship com
mittee. The dues of the association
are one dollar, which should be sent
to the secretary-treasurer of the Alum- i
nae Association, Mrs. Lawrence T.
Harris, 1460 Chemeketa Street, Salem,
Oregon. The money is used entirely for
scholarships and loans.
The Mary Spiller scholarship per
petuates the memory of Mrs. Mary
Spiller, first woman member of the
faculty. Any girl graduate from any
accredited high school of Oregon (out
side of Lane county) is eligiblo to ap
ply. The scholarship pays for room
and board for a year in one of the halls
of residence. The first award, granted
in 1912, was $135. At the present time
it is $272.62. One girl may receive the
scholarship for more than one year,
the money after the first year, being
a loan. Applications should be made
to Mrs. ITnrris, before May 1.
ACTIVITIES
WOMAN’S LEAGUES FAVOR HIGH
ER STANDARDS FOR COLLEGES
Miss Margaret Reid and Ella Rawlings
Address Mass Meeting in
Villard Hall
The high spots of the discussion taken
part in by delegates from the Women’s
Leagues of western schools at the Berke
ley convention were touched on by Ella
Rawlings at the regular monthly mass
meeting of the League held in Villard
yesterday afternoon.
Oregon is not the only institution in
the west that is “tightening up” on
studies, Miss Rawlings reports. Higher
standards of scholarship are being em
phasized everywhere. In some schools a
certain average grade must bo obtained
to allow the student to take part in any
campus activities. Too many activities,
interfering with studying, are not re
garded favorably in any of the schools
that were represented at the conference,
but more stringent means of preventing
one or two willing individuals from be
ing over worked are employed in some
schools than in others.
The general opinion at the convention
was in favor of student government,
with cooperation between student and
faculty. Under the matter of student
government cheating and ways and means
of preventing and punishing it wore dis
cussed. The University of Washington
is literally “stamping” it out. When
a student in a classroom discovers another
student cheating he begins immediately
to tap on the floor with his foot. The
others in the room take up the tapping
and the culprit usually ceases.
Clean campus politics were especially
emphasized by all of the delegates.
Honor societies at some universities have
developed into mere political machines
and delegates from those schools were
particularly opposed to honor societies.
It was decided that the individuality of
the candidate should be alone considered
and that his fraternity affiliation should
.not play any part in winning or loosing
him votes.
The convention at Berkeley proved,
said Miss Rawlings, that university wo
men everywhere aro “getting together,
thinking together, and trying to work
together.' ’
Miss Margaret Reid, recently returned
from relief work in the Near East gave
a short talk and some personal sketches
of her work among the children of Ar
menia.

News of the coming marriage has been
kept secret until now.
The bride-elect is a graduate of
Washington high school. She attended

Campus Officials to Aid in
Receiving Visitor; Student
Rally Planned
BANQUET TO BE FEATURE
Oregon Knights Will Have
Almost Entire Charge of
Campus Entertaining
The entire University ami the whole
city is making preparations to welcome
home the University’s one timo foot
ball coach, Hugo Bezdek. Plans for
the reception and entertainment of the
man who has sont so many Oregon
football teams to victory are now in a
formative stage. Lyle Bartholomew is
enlisting the aid of all campus officials
and of those who knew the famous
coach when he was here, to make ar
rangements to receive him when he
steps from the train on Mondny.
Wlmt is retarding the business of
arranging a definite program is that
the time of the day ho will arrive is
as yet unknown. If Bezdek arrives in
the morning in sufficient time for such
an affair, an all-University all-Eugene
rally will be held in his honor at Vil
lard hall where it will be demonstrated
to the guest that the Oregon spirit still
lives.
Trophies May be Shown
There he will be urged to recount
some of the experiences which he had
while at this University and perhaps
to tell of his work at the Pennsylvania
State College where he is now situated.
Arrangements are being made for the
Oregon Knights to bring forward the
many trophies which wore won by Ore
gon teams under the tutelage of Ore
gon ’s one time moulder of fighting
machines. It has been suggested that
Bezdek might be prevailed upon to
tell the students how these trophies
were won.
Should the arrival of Bezdek be de
layed until noon, he will be met at
the station by a reception committee
of students and citizens of Eugene.
The Oregon KnightH will form a body
guard to conduct him to the Univer
sity where it is hoped thnt he can ap
pear before the student body. In any
event it is planned to have a rally in
celebration of the return of Bezdek to
Oregon.
Banquet is Planned
The Chamber of Commerce, it is
reported, intends to hold a banquet in
honor of the coach as a feature of the
evening. No other plans have been
given out either by the President or
the secretary of the Eugene Chamber
of Commerce both of whom say that
action is being doferrod on the matter
of appointing committees until the stu
dent officials can be consulted. Bar
tholomew, president of the student
body, is waiting until the roturn of
President Campbell from Portlnnd and
also for more definite word from Bez
dek as to when he will arrive.
What is certain so far about the
program is thnt the Oregon Knights
under the leadership of Stunt Duke,
.Tames Meek who was elected to that
high office last night, of Marcus
Young, Ttoyal Scribe, and .Tames Neale,
Chancellor of the exchequer, will have
nlmost entire charge of the entertain
ment of Bezdek on this campus. An
nouncement of definite plans for his
reception will appear in Saturday’s
Emerald.
