—
Reluctant to touch on any phase of
the international questions in the coun
tries of the Orient which would likely
be interpreted in glaring headlines by
certain newspapers as bearing on the1
so-called Yellow Peril subject, Harold
Newton, Universty of Oregon graduate
and at present American vice-consul at
Kobe, Japan, spoke before the members
of several classes on the campus yester
day. Mr. Newton in his talks avoided
committing himself concerning the Or
iental political situation, but in his in
formal discussion he showed that he was
replete wth information about the coun
try in which he has lived for three
years.
Mr. Newton, who wras a member of
Sigma Delta Chi, national journalism
fraternity, and Sigma Hpsilon, national
literary fraternity, while on the cam
pus, told about the scope of journalism
in Japan and the manner in which news
papers were conducted. He made the
student journalists realize that news
papers are playing a great part in the
affairs of the world, that the publica
tions of Japan are comparable with
those of any other nation, and that |
stories printed in newspapers on both
sides of the Pacific are an important
factor in the amicable relationship be
tween America and the Orient.
Literature Touched Upon
When speaking to Dr. Bate’s philo
sophy class in Villard hall yesterday af
ternoon, Mr. Newton, who before enter
ing the consulate wras coneneted with a
newspaper in Japan and at an earlier
date was an instructor in a university
in Kobe, gave the students an idea of
what the young Japanese thinks about
when he reads bits of prose and letters i
written by the youngsters whom he had i
taught. These missives were quaintly :
worded.
The meeting and merging of western
customs with those of the east were
commented on by Mr. Newton. Some
of the Japanese celebrate Christmas and
when asked why the Christian holiday ,
is observed they answer, “Why you ob-j.
serve it.” Many times during his brief ,
talk to the various classes Mr. Newton
intimated that the Orientals eagerly
adopt the ways of the western world. ,
In concluding his remarks to the
philosophy class, the youthful vice-con
sul made a plea for a better under
standing of the peoples and problems of
'the Orient. He reminded the student
group that an entire yellow race could

J. OF 0. PRESS GETS
NEW SHOP MATERIAL
apparatus Is Complete anrl Makes Pos
sible the Publishing of Books
on the Campus
The addition of $1000 worth of new
pparatus to the shop of the University
.ress now makes 'it possible for the
Jniversity to publish books, completing
11 operations on the campus without
utside help of any kind. The greater
■art of the new material is for the
dnderv. Books for the library which
rere formerly bound down town are
iow bound by the University press.
This new machinery consists of a
iaper cutter, board cutter, a backing
nachine to press the backs of books
nto shape, a press and a Singer sewing
nachine, to be used in stitching.
According to Mr. Hall of the • niv-r
ity press, the University printing de
lartment now maintains a complete,
;nd incidentally well organized press,
ill printing for the school is done on
he campus. All University publicat
ions such as the Emerald and Old Ore
;on are printed here, Lemon Punch be
ng the only exception. Twelve people
ire employed in the printing depart
nent.and a twenty-four hour day is ob
lerved, someone being employed in the
ihop at all hours.
More Time for Building Has
Been Granted
Considerable: difficulty is bein^ en
countered in Living the foundation far
tlie new journalism annex to lie raised
on the sight of the old “shack.” Water
is hindering the progress of the work
men, and wooden braces have been plac
ed in parts of the excavation to pre
vent the soft walls from caving in. At
the west end of the excavation a shale
rock formation has been found which
will support the building, but at the
east end soft clay has been struck
[reaching to a depth of twenty feet or
[more. Soundings made wth an augur
failed to reveal solid ground and it
-may be necessary to construct under
filling on which to rest the foundation,
according to Mr. John L. Hanna, super
intendent in charge of the work.
“Since there will be large glass win
dows covering almost the entire sides
of the building, the foundation will
have to be solid and greatly renforced,
otherwise the settling of the structure
will crack the glass,” Mr. Hanna said.
To this end, there will be reinforced
cement piers five and a half feet square,
at each corner of the east Hide, and un
der the entrance will be two cement
piers six feet square. When asked
i whether the building would be finished
on time or not Hanna said that an ex
i tension of time had already been grant
ed to the contractors and in all proba
bility there would be additional delay
due to the soft clay encountered. Some
of the older residents of Eugene say
that the journalism plot used to be the
old river bed of the Willamette, which
accounts for the depth of soil,
Mr. Hanna announced that the loan
campaign buildings, back of the Busi
ness Administration building, would be
ready for occupation some time next
week. The carpentry is finished, but
[the paint has not yet dried.
EVANS HAS NEW ASSISTANT
George Hopkins, instructor in the
! school of music has been appointed as
sistant to John Stark Evans, director
of the men’s and women’s glee clubs.
He will help Mr. Evans with the regu
lar practice work of the clubs and will
make trips with one of the clubs while
Mr. Evans is with the other.
Until this year there has been a di
rector for each club, but for the sake
of more complete coordination it was
decided to have one director and an as
sistant.
Injuries Few in
Great Contest;
Score Is 6 to 3
(By Leith Abbott.)
Pendleton, Ore., Oct. 'JO.— (Special to The Emerald.)—Oregon
defeated the Whitman college eleven here this afternoon six to three
in a hard fonght contest, the outcome of which was not certain
until the final whistle had blown.
1 wo place kicks by Chapman, one in the first quarter from the
Jo-yard line and the other from the 88-yard line in the third quar
ter netted Oregon’s points. Whitman, scored in the second quar
ter when Tilton drop-kicked from the 25-yard line. The Mis
sionaries lost a chance to tie the score in the last three minutes
when Tilton missed a drop kick from the 30-yard line.
Teams Evenly Matched
The teams were evenly matched and fought like demons.
Oregon made first downs seven times with a total yardage from
scrimmage ot 145 yards, Whitman made first down seven times
for a total of 131.
Oregon’s first score came when Tilton fumbled Gram’s punt
on the 10-yard line and Oregon recovered. Two line bucks and an
incomplete forward pass failed to advance the ball and Chap
man dropped back and kicked.
In the second quarter Chapman attempted a place kick from
the 35-yard line but the ball went wide. Whitman took the
ball and with line plunging and two completed forward passes
worked the ball to Oregon’s 10-yard line with Tilton drop kick
ing it over for the lone score.
Oregon walked up the field with line plunges and two passes.
Chapman to King to Whitman’s 12-yard line, where the half ended
wth the ball in Oregon’s possession.
Oregon Line Holds
In the third quarter Oregon held Whitman for downs on Ore
gon’s five-yard line with Gram kicking 35 yards 1o Tilton, who
signaled fora fair catch and Tilton attempted a drop kick from the
40-yard line, but failed.
Eater in this quarter Oregon made yardage twice to Whitman’s
40-yard line but could not advance the ball and Gram kicked to
Whitman’s 10-yard line where Tilton was downed in his tracks.
Holmes kicked back, giving Oregon the ball on Whitman’s 33
yard line from where Chapman dropped back and made a beautiful
38-yard place kick, putting Oregon in the lead.
Late in the fourth quarter Captain Heritage blocked Gram’s
punt and recovered the ball on Oregon’s 30-yard line. The Mis
sionaries plunged the ball to Oregon’s 22-yard line where the Ore
gon line held, forcing Tilton to attempt another drop kick from the
30-yard line. The ball fell short and after Chapman received it,
Gram punted out of danger and the game ended.
Whitman’s plunging backs, Tilton and Norris, tore* through
the Oregon line repeatedly during tin- early part of the game while
the Missionaries line, charging low and fast, turned back Oregon’s
attempts at line smashing. Chapman and King were Oregon’s most
consistent ground gainers. Gram, kicking for Oregon, booted the
ball ten times for 351 yards and Holmes also kicked ten times for a
total of 349 yards. •
Whitman’s Passing Good
Whitman completed four out of nine attempted forward passes
for a total of 34 yards gain. Oregon completed two out of seven at
tempts for 22 yards.
A crowd of 5000 people saw the garni- which was played under
an ideal football sky on a fastfield. Whitman rooters, 200 strong,
with a band vied with the Oregon delegation.
No Oregon man had to be carried from the field. Tiny Shields
replaced Chuck Parsons at guard in the second quarter, and Heed
replaced McKeown. Tn the second half Parsons went in for Reed.
“Prink” Callison replaced Byler late in the third quarter when
Whitman was bearing down on the lemon-yellow oal.
Following is the lineup, which started the game for Oregon:
Byler, center; Bliss and Brown, ends; McKeown and Vonder Ahe,
tackles; Parsons and F. Shields, guards; Chapman, quarter; Jordan
i and King, halves; and Gram, fullback.
