NEWS EXCHANGE ID BE HADIOED Communication With 0. A. C. Will Again Be Tried; Operators Wanted Another attempt will be made by the Emerald to exchange news items by radio with Oregon Agricultural college this year. Arrangements have been made with Garrett Lewis, local com mercial operator, to use his broadcast ing station, K D Z J, to handle the mes sages for the University of Oregon. The department of physics at O. A. C. will care for the articles to and from the Barometer at Corvallis. The Emerald installed its own sta tion last year and communication was successfully established until the gov ernment directed that operation should cease pending classification of this type of service. This question lias now been settled with the result that a confer ence was recently held between Jacob Jordan, of the department of physics at the agricultural school, and Donald Woodward, representing the Emerald, at which it was decided to start the service about October lo. Mr. Jordan received notice from the radio inspector that the situation had cleared and that the school could pro ceed with the work. It is thought that reports of games and other special items only will be handled at first. In addition to sending to the Barometer, Lewis will broadcast results of games and any other University newTs of in terest for all stations to pick up. Lewis, who is an Oregon student, re quests that any operators^ desiring to operate the station should sign up a list posted on the bulletinboard in the library. Sleeping quarters will be pro vided for the operators at the station located at 1271 Emerald street. The communications will be trans mitted by wireless telephone so that any receiving stations may be able to get exchange news first hand. RELIEF OF TRAFFIC SEEM Paving of Franklin Boulevard Hailed As Solution of Bad Congestion The paving of Franklin boulevard from the Eighth and Eleventh avenue railroad crossings to the city limits, which is nearing completion, will af ford two additional routes over which the Pacific highway traffic may run. Up to this time practically all of the higlrway traffic has been routed over Thirteenth avenue. Because of the single outlet to the highway the traffic over Thirteenth avenue has been exceptionally heavy throughout the year and has become a menace to the students, who have to cross the thoroughfare on their way to classes. In addition to the improvements on Franklin boulevard, Kincaid street is 'being paved between Eleventh and j Thirteenth avenues. With the comple tion of these two projects the campus will be completely surrounded by paved streets. FRESHMEN GRID SQUAD ROUNDING INTO SHAPE Turnout Is So Large That Coaches Drop 18 After three workouts under the watchful eyes of head coach Eaz Wil liams and his able assistants “Sheet” Manerud and Dot Medley the freshmen football squad is now slowly but sure ly rounding into shape for its opening game with the Mt. Angel collegians. The second night of practice saw one 6f the largest turnouts of Frosh gridsters in the history of the University, Co in all assembling on Kincaid iicld. Lack of equipment and the fact that many of the new arrivals were inex perienced and turned out for the pur pose of learning something about the game forced the coaches to weed out IS of the number, leaving only the heav iest and most promising on the squad. Because of the short time in which to whip an eleven in shape the yearling mentors must dispense with the teach ing of the fundamentals of football and proceed at once with plays and forma tions. Those who desire to learn some thing about football will have a far better oportunity by turning out for the spring practice, say the coaches. The first cut leaves a nucleus of about 45 men on the squad but it is expected that this number will again be swelled before the end of the week,, as there are suits and equipment for at least IS more. Among the new men who are making a good showing are McMillan, formerly a center with Columbia "Uni versity of Portland, and Jack Bliss, a Berkeley high school star who last year was named as tackle on the California all-star interseholastie squad. Bliss is handicapped by an injury to his knee received in practice Tuesday night but is expected to be back in the game by at least a week. The first real scrimmage for the first year men will be held Saturday morn ing on the practice field south of Hay ward grandstand. After this workout Coach "Williams will probably make an other cut and will continue to wield the axe until a squad of about 35 is obtain ed, which is the number that will be carried through the season. OPEN HOUSE TO BE Congestion in Houses Will Be Relieved by Extension of Time to Midnight Open house for this term ■will be held Saturday night beginning at 7 o’clock and through an extension of time will continue until midnight. The general plans and line of march will be prac tically the same as they were last year. Because of the increased number of or-1 ganirations it will be necessary for the men's groups to keep moving rapidly and on schedule time. Miss Bernice Altstock, president of Woman's league, and a committee consisting of Miss Dorothy Cushman, president of Oregon Club, Miss Kate Piuneo, president of Pan-Hellenic association, and Miss El lon McVeigh, president of Susan Camp bell hall, will formulate the schedule, line of march which will be announced! later.

The Oregana wishes to extend a most hearty greeting to both the old and new students. S3 SJ 1 i m Bi I ■ ■ ■ Oregana I i i Film Developing ‘The Student’s Shop” Printing According to Professor H. A. Scott, di rector of physical education, the score will be determined by the proficiency which the men display in each particu lar test. Thus if a man high-jumps four feet (the minimum), he is given one point; then more points proportionately to each successive height. The physical ability examinations may be taken by anyone; but freshmen who wish to elect a certain sport must first be able to pass the examination at least by th; minimum number of points.

Those who pass the tests may specialise in either boxing, west ling, swimming, golt'. track, handball, or football.

With its philosophy, romance, excit ing clashes, satire on human weakness es, pathos and optimism, “Grandma’s Boy” is unlike anything Lloyd lias ever done and displays the star ns an actor of broader scope than his most ardent admirers have known. Harold Lloyd has never been seen to such excellent advantage as iu “Grand ma's Boy,” and never was there such a comedy as this. It closes its local en gagement today.
