SIXTY BASKETBALL MEN OUT FOR STANFORD SQUAD Stanford University, Dec. 2.—(P. I N.

Captain Jimmy Davies, forward; Dick Richmond, guard; and “Lefty” Rogers, forward, are the only varsity men of last year back for this season. It is doubtful if any games will be scheduled for this quarter, and it is believed that the first game of the season will be played in the new bas ketball pavilion. STOCK JUDGING TEAM WINS FIRST PLACE FOR AGGIES Oregon Agricultural College. Corval lis, Dec. 2.—(P. I. N. S.)—For the second time an O. A.

POLO SQUAD AT STANFORD STARTS PRACTICE INDOORS Stanford University, Palo Alto, Dec. 2.—(P. I. N. S.)—The polo squad here has started its practice indoors. The riding school of the military depart ment has been covered with shavings, and the Stanford squad held its first practice this afternoon under a roof. It is hoped that it will not be necessary to stage any of the matches of the fall tournament inside. U. S. C. ISSUES EXTRA PAPER BEFORE GAME WITH W. S. 0. University of Southern California, Los Angeles, Cal., Dec.—(P. I. N. S.)—With the success of the 16-page Trojan before the California game as an indication of what may be expected from the students, the staff of the University of Southern California Tro jan, decided to issue a similar paper on December 2, the day before the Washington State-Southern California game. WASHINGTON STATE NINTH AT CHICAGO EXPOSITION Washington State College, Dec. 2.— (P. I. N.

COSMOPOLITAN CLUB REPRESENTS 17 COUNTRIES Oregon Agricultural College, Corval lis, Dec. 2,— (P. I. N. S.)—Representa tives from 17 nations compose the Cos mopolitan club at O. A. C. This club is a chapter of the international organi zation, Cordes Pratres, the principal chapter cf which is in Italy where the fraternity was organized. The object of the fraternity is to promote a friend ly relationship between nations and is expressed in its slogan, “Above all nations—humanity.” The additional purpose of the 6. A. C. chapter is to help foreign students get acquainted with men from many countries and with American people and custome. PANHELLENIC AT STANFORD MAKES CHANGE IN RUSHING Stanford University, Dec. 2.—CP. I N. S.)—A shorter period of formal rushing, and a reduction in the amount of expenditures allowed for rushing parties, are two of the changes which the local Panhellenic Association i* making in the contract now being drawn up. A penalizing committee composed of one alumna from each of the local houses, together with the president of Panhellenic, will judge all cases of infringement of rushing rules and decide the penalties to be inflicted. Special Committee to Report Recommendation to Next Faculty Colloquium ONE MORE HOUR FOR GYM Labs in Forenoon, so Fai*as Possible, Favored as Aid to Schedule Regular classes scheduled on Saturday morning as a part of a general Universi ty policy affecting every department; laboratory work done in the forenoon as much as possible, and classes taken by students having little laboratory work almost altogether in the afternoon, are some of the recommendations which a special committee will present to the fac ' ulty colloquium next Tuesday evening. Action will be taken at the faculty meet ing Thursday. This condition has come up due to the lack of classrooms during the fore noon, according to Dr. A. E. Caswell, head of the committee, who stated that ! at the 9 o’clock period there is but one room in the whole campus which is not i n use. Work May be Defined The recommendations would change the • length of time spent in the Military and Physical Education department for men ! and are designed to make the require ments more liberal and varied. It will i make possible the postponement of all required work in the sidepartmcnts in the first two years until later in the course, with certain provisions. The committee which is composed of Dr. A. E. Caswell, Dr. B. W. DeBusk, and Dean William G. Hale was appointed j to report on the place of military science and physical education in the schedule. That these subjects are but a part of a larger problem, is the idea of the com mittee in taking the action. The first Recommendations follows: “that the present rule authorizing four i hours per week of Military Science and 1 two hours per week of Physical Educa tion be amended to require three hours 1 per week of each, and that these depart ments be given the same freedom of action in arranging their schedules as is accorded to all other departments of the University.” Action Would be Legalized Dr. Caswell explained that physical ; education is now authorized to give clas ! ses two hours a week but is giving them three. This would legalize their action, but would take one hour away from the Military department. The second and third recommedations I say: 1. 1 ‘ That a major professor, when he considers the circumstances warrant it, may permit a student to defer the re quired courses in Military science and physical education, provide that the (Continued on page four) _ Diogenes Needs No Lantern on Oregon Campus If Diogenes were alive today he would have no need for his lantern in searching for an honest man on the campus. To all appearances they stalk about in broad daylight. At least Dan Lyons does and as for ! honesty—well this is what he did Friday morning. Dan was wending his way to class when in front of Friendly hall he saw a piece of paper that looked much like a United Cigar coupon. On closer examination he found that it was a bill, issued by the United States government and acceptable for merchandise or anything else that the owner required. It was a perfectly good green back, of a quite respectable denomination. He brought it over to the school of jour nalism, but honesty again triumphed and no one claimed ownership. The money was turned over to Mr. Turn bull at the journalism shack. The owner may have the bill on providing a satisfactory descriptio 1 of it. FIJIS HAVE CINCH ON LEAD GAMES END NEXT WEEK IF 2 MORE CONTESTS ARE WON Doughnut Cross Country Will be Next; Each Organization to Have Team of Five Men All doughnut basketball games after next week will be called off if the Fijis succeed in beating all teams that succeed in defeating all of the teams that stand among the first eight in the league, said Coach Bolder yesterday in discussing the basketball situation. There are only two teams of high stand ing that the Fijis have yet to play, the A. T. O.’s and the Si A. E.’s, and if they can win from both of these squads, the basketball trophies will be given to them and the rest of the games of the series will be cancelled. The Fijis have already cinched the cham pionship. This situation was explained at a meeting of all managers of Doughnut athletics which was held in the men’s gym Thursday night. It was decided at this meeting that this would be the best course to follow, since the Fijis have beaten all of the other leaders in the percentage column, and it would be of no use to have them play all of the teams standing lower down. It was decided at this meeting also that next term there would be held a doughnut cross-country run. Five men will be allowed from each organization to enter the finals, but in order to en ter the finals these men will have to put in a certain required number of hours of practice each week, probably three. Each man will be given a num ber and will be checked for attend ence at classes. WEIGHT REFORM ASKED Legislation to stop light men being pitted against heavy ones on the grid iron is favored by John W. Ileisman, head coach of the University of Pen nsylvania football squad. In an ad dress Heisman said the public would not stand for a man of 125 pounds meeting one weighing 200 pounds in the boxing ring, and the fact that the same rule did not apply to football was one of the defects of the game. Mrs. Tkachev and Underwood Delight 250 at Formal Concert By REUBEN GOFFREIERE About 250 people were guests on Wednesday evening at a formal con cert given by Mrs. Thaeher and Mr. Rex Underwood in the Alumni Hall of 'the Woman’s building. It is well that we hear visiting ar tists, for only by comparison do we lear* to appreciate those among us. I refer particularly to the piano con cert of a few weeks ago. No one could help but notice the utmost ease and simplicity with which Mrs. Thaeher played. No effort whatever was evi dent. One could have become con scious of pedal gymnastics had there been any, but here too, all remained serene as on the keyboard. The per formance was void of all mannerisms. Mrs. Thaeher draped in a charming black velvet gown, mace a delightful picture as she eat calmly and quietly at the piano. The clean, clear-cut, pearly, Thaeher tone was present throughout. Such tone is possible only through a correct understanding of the science of piano playing. Many can play a thunderous showy concert piece, but few can play, for instance, the extremely difficult assemblage of notes, that of the Rubin stein “Barcarolle.” The same is true of the gorgeous Rigandon by Raff. These are selections seldom heard on the concert stage, principally because they are so difficult, and yet they ap pear so easy that audiences fail to give credit. The public desires the dra matic. Mrs. Thacher is too genuine to play merely to the public. She uses sane interpretation and phrasing and has a deep poetic sense and logical artistry. One could well compare the exquisite Scarlotti “Pas torale” to the pastorales of Words worth. The audience appeared particu larly delighted with the tantalizing rvthm and pianistic effects of the Chopin “Tarantelle” which came in the second group. The Debussy “Reflect ius” with its delightful modern har monies might well give the listener the impression that the performer was | constantly striking the wrong keys. With such a person to play Mr. Un derwood’s accompaniments, do we wonder that he too gave the impres sion of absolute ease and relaxation in his playing, and that he played with «uch passion and fire, characterized by decided artistic assurance. Particularly noticeable was the per (Continued on page three) UNIVERSITY CHOIR WILL SING GOUNOD MASS AT VESPERS 48 Singers to Participate in Early Observance of Christmas Season ST. CECILIA MASS FEATURE Mme. McGrew, John Siefert and Erwyn Mutch to Assist; Knights to Usher The University choir, composed of 4S voices and directed by John Stark Evans will take part in the vesper ser vice to be held in the Methodist church, tomorrow afternoon, at 4:30 o’clock. This service is entirely musical and is held yearly in observance of the Christmas season. Because of examina tions it must be held at this early date. “The Mass of St. Cecilia,’’ composed by Charles Francois Gounod, a fam ous musician, will be given. Gounod spent much of his life in his native city of Paris. He was there from ISIS to 1893 at work on his music. After studying in the conservatory of Paris, he received the Prize of Rome as a reward for one of his compositions, and went to that center of Italian art where he studied for three years. Gounod Was War Refugee He spent some time in Vienna and Berlin, and during the Franco-Prus sian war was a refugee in England. His talent and personality won him favor wherever he appeared. In Paris, he was organist and rirector of a relig ious organization, being of a deep religious nature. His compositions are many and varied. The list includes cantatas, operas, both tragic and comic, masses, and instrumental numbers. The Mass of St. Cecelia was first given in the church of St. Eustache, Paris, in 1855. It was happily named for the patron saint of music, the legendary inventor of the organ. Gounod’s greatest work, as judged by the musical world, is his opera of Faust. Stars to Assist Choir The choir will be assisted by Rose McGrew, soprano, John B. Siefert, tenor, and Erwyn Mutch, baritone of Portland, who is from the Ellison White conservatory in that city. The offering taken will be used to start a fund for the purchase of vest ments for the University choir. Usher ing will be in charge of the Oregon Knights. RHODES CANDIDATES FACE TEST IN PORTLAND TODAY Oregon Trio Declared Strong Men In Bare for Scholarship in Old English University An examination at the University club in Portland this morning will de termine the fate of three University of Oregon candidates in line for the Rhodes Scholarship. Other candidates are from O. A. 0., Reed college, and Willamette University, making 14 men trying out in the state, of whom ton will appear today. According to Professor Barnes, a member of the state examining com mittee. Oregon’s representatives are strong men in whom he has much con fidence. Norman Bvrne is a major in philosophy, Arthur Hicks majors in French, and Remey Cox in literature. The examinations are to be oral. They will probably bo the last held in Oregon for some time. A committee in charge of the selec tion has been chosen, of which Presi dent Campbell of the University, is chairman. Last year Korby Miller, of Medford, a student of the University, was chosen for the scholarship and is now study ing at Oxford. He formerly attended Columbia University. FOOTBALL TEAM GUESTS President Campbell to Speak In Port land Chamber’s University Day Monday, December 5 is to be Univer sity of Oregon day at the Portland Chamber of Commerce Forum. Among the speakers will be President P. L. Campbell of the University, Dean Halo of the school of law, and some promi nent alumnus. Other guests on that day will be the members of the uni ! versity football team who are soon to sail for Honolulu for a game Decem ber 26 with the University of Hawaii. Oregon’s Old Coach Is Greatest in Land Hugo Bozdek S/40 IS GIVEN RED GROSS CANVASS SUCCESSFULLY PUT ON BY COMMERCE CHAMBER Students and Townspeople Donato Total of $1530; Prize-winners Return $10 to Cause The final count on the Red Cross drive recently staged on the campus and in the business district of Eu gene, shows $740 in student subscrip tions, and $700 from the people of Eu gene, raised by students from the Uni versity of Oregon Chamber of Com merce. The amount thus collected is nearly one-half of the entire subscrip tions reported in for Lane County, which total $.'1200. Of the $700 collected downtown, $,170 was secured by men students from the business men, and the women who were running the booths took in $220. The former solicitors also procured promises to subscribe in addition up to the nmount, of $200. The women responded much better than the men on the campus, 85 per cent of the student subscriptions com ing from them. Of the nine houses which went over 100 per cont, seven were girls’ organizations. Thachor cot tage, which won the $10 prize for the first house to go over 100 per cent turned the reward back into the Red Cross. The University Chamber of Com meree has had great success in putting on this campaign, especially when it is considered that they tackled it when financial conditions are bad. The amount raised from the University is larger than that of other coast insti tutions, including the University of California and the Oregon Agricultural College. 67 STUDENTS WITHDRAW Freshman Class Has Largest Number Leaving; Eleven Quit Medicine There have been (57 withdrawals from the university this term, 48 of whom are men, and 19 women. The largest number of withdrawals are from the freshman class, the next largest; from the sophomores, and so on down. More of the withdrawals have come from the school of business adminis tration than any others; they number 20. Next in line is medicine with 11 withdrawals. There have been three withdrawals apiece in law, journalism and art; four from the English litera ture department; two each in educa tion, architecture, economics, romance languages and music. Seven courses have had one withdrawal; economies, physics, philosophy, drama, history, graduate school, and one special from the Eugene Bible University. These statistics include only those who have withdrawn from their particular ma jors in withdrawing from the univer sity. DANCE IS AGAINST RULE Ball Allowed to Uphold Tradition, But Regulation Good From Now on According to the University regula tions no dances or parties are supposed to be held within two weeks of term examinations. In order to uphold a University tradition permission was granted to the sophomore class to give their dance Friday night which comes within the two week limit. Dean Fox states that the rule holds good in all other cases and no parties are sup ; posed to be held this week end. Ex ceptions were made in cases of small parties which had been scheduled, but Dean Fox wishes to make it known that during next week-end the rule will be strictly upheld. No further | dances or parties should be planned. BffiK RECEPTION WE COMMITTEE Students, Faculty, Business Men, and Alumni to Make Final Arrangements COACH TO ARRIVE MONDAY President Campbell Requests That A. S. U. 0. Extend Hearty Welcome President Campbell has appointed a committee of students, faculty, alumni, and Eugene business men to make final arrangements for the entertainment and reception of Hugo Bezdek, re nowned football mentor and one time Oregonian who is to make a flying visit to this campus on Monday.
