PROCTER, HER
OF THE PIONEER,
IS LOVER OF WEST
“Old Fellow Is Looking Far
Ahead,” Is His Comment
on Campus Statue
BACK FROM ALASKA HUNT
Sculptor and Wife on Way to
Palo Alto Greet Friends
at University
By Jessie Thompson
A mau as unassuming and simple as
the really great usually are—a wes
terner and lover of the West—a great
hunter and sportsman—and a delight
ful person to meet—that ’s A. Phunister
Proctor, the most famous animal sculp
tor in Ameriea, the creator of Oregon's
“Pioneer.”
The artist and his wife were visit
ors on the campus yesterday, and were
honor guests at an informal reception
in Alumni hall late yesterday after
noon. The Proctors have just return
ed from a hunting and sketching trip
in Alaska and are on their way to
their home in Palo Alto, after stopping
in Portland for the unveiling of Proc
tor’s Roosevelt statue, on Armistice
day.
“Pioneer” Among His Best
The "Pioneer” is considered one of
Proctor’s best pieces of work. The
reporter who interviewed Proctor yes
terday afternoon wanted to know some
thing about the bronze figure of the
old westerner, from its maker’s own
lips,, and mentioned that “The Pio
ueer” really said something to Oregon
students, many of whom are children
of pioneers.
“I wanted him to say something,”
6aid Proctor thoughtfully. “The old
fellow is looking far ahead—into the
distance.”
The bronze opposite the Administra
tion building is facing south, and some
persons think lie ought to stand with
his face turned to the west, because
the pioneers always went west. When
he was asked what he thought about
Ais, however, Mr. Proctor said that
Ire liked to have his statues face to
ward the south, because the light was
better for the greater part of the day.
Lion-Hunter, Not a Lion
A. Phimister Proctor may be an en
thusiastic hunter, but he isn’t the sort
of “celebrity” that’s fond of being
the subject of a lion-hunt, himself. He
is very unassuming and modest in his
manner, but he is interested in his work,
and willing to tell about it. A group
of interested listeners—faculty mem
bers and students—gathered about the
fire at one end of Alumni hall yester
day afternoon while personal friends
of the sculptor asked him questions
lbo\it his work. He told of “The Cir
cuit Rider,” to be unveiled at Salem
next spring, and of how he worked on
the Roosevelt statue, going on the sug
gestions of the Roosevelt family and
his own memory of the great states
man. Once he broke off to demand of
his wife, “How’s this—look like brag
ging?”
When one meets Proctor, one notices
his eyes. They are keen and thought
ful, deepset, and rather close together.
His handclasp, when he greets one, is
firm. He is of medium height, with
grey hair. His voice drawls a little,
with a quiet dry, slightly humorous
manner. Mr. and Mrs. Proetor have a
son just married last summer—but peo

Leading Lady in Play
on at Guild Theatre
Mrs. J ohn Leader
SCARLET PIAAPERNEL
DELIGHTS AUDIENCE
Work of Cast, Costumes and
Color Effects Please
The first production of “The Scarlet
Pimpernel” by Baroness Orczy was
staged last night in the Guild theater
with the most delightful color effects
and with a charm that made the entire
audience enthusiastic over the work
done by the members of the dramatic
department and by Mrs. John Leader
who is making her farewell appearance
in this play. Mrs. Leader played Lady
Blakeney, the wife of the richest man
in England, with even more charm than
she played as Alice in “ Alice-Sit-By
tlie-Fire,” the production in which she
was last seen. Mrs. Leader has a par
ticularly fascinating voice which adds
much to the charm of her work. Pro
fessor Reddie was seen as Sir Percy
Blakeney, the foppish Englishman who
throughout the play had an opportunity
to display his ma|ny-sided character
which gave a splendid opportunity for
Professor Reddie to show his versatil
ity.
Darrell Larsen played Ohauvelelin,
the representative of the French revo
lution in England and the villain of
the play. Larson interpreted the role
far better than he has ever done before.
Other outstanding charactrs of the play
were Hildegarde Repinen, who played
Madame La Countess de Tournay, a
fugative from the revolutionists; Lorna
Coolidge, who played the part of her
daughter, and Vern Fudge, who played
the part of her son. Margaret Nelson
departed from the usual type of thing
she has heretofore been seen in on the
Guild hall stage and appeared as a
fascinating English lady. Another in
teresting interpretation was that of Ed
win Keeeh who appeared as His Royal
Highness, the Prince of Wales, with a
striking regal appearance.
The play is divided into four acts
and -a prologue. The costumes are col
orful and good-looking while the set
tings are simple but effective. The
play will be produced both tonight and
tomorrow night.
UNIVERSITY GETS PRINTS
E. Schwarzehild, of Eugene, has giv
en a valuable collection of prints, 800
in number, to the art school of the Uni
versity of Oregon. These will be group
ed historically, representing schools of
painting and will be very useful in
classes in fine arts and normal art.

Condon Club Neophytes Will
Serve Free Flapjacks Today
Accoutered in the habiliments of a
worker in quest of auriferous nuggets,
two neophytes of the Condon dub of
the Geology and Mining Society ef Am
erican Universities, this morning just
before the assembly hour will cook flap
jacks over a campfire as part of the
ceremonies of initiation into the honor
ary fraternity. The two initiates are
Harold McConnell a«d Homer Wise.
This will be the first public initiation
held by the geology organization on the
campus for four years and it is the
intention of the students of all that
is beneath the earth, to entertain the
campus populace gastronomic-ally in
stead of with orations from the library
steps. Albers Milling company of
Portland has shipped down sufficient
pancake flour to make several thousand
flapjacks and persons heading toward
the assembly hall will be fed with the
choice cakes. Glen Walkley, said to
be the only authority on flapjacks at
the University, will sample the pro
duct of the two miners before passing
the flapjacks out to the crowd.
It is the intention of the supervisors
of the initiation to have the campfire
on Kincaid field, not far distant from
the Nicotine tree. For one hour be
fore going into action behind the camp
fire, the neophytes will parade the cam
pus, dressed as typical Forty-niners,
pushing a wheelbarrow.
McConnell and Wise were elcted to
active membership in the geology fra
ternity several weeks ago. Associate
members elected at the same time were
Ford E. Wilson, Guy Armuntrout, Karl
Vonder Ahe, Don Johnson, Ollie Mercer,
Francis Linklater, Dan Wilkinson, and
Mac McLean. Chester Fitch, of Med
ford, and Donald Smythe, of Butte
Mont., were given honorary reeogni
tion when the other members were
named.
NOTED SPECIALIST
TO SPEAK TODAY
IN VILLARD HALL
Cancer Control to Be Subject
of Dr. Ernest Tucker,
Assembly Lecturer
_
CINEMA TO ILLUSTRATE
Moving Picture Drama Will
Present Methods of Cure
and Checking
Motion pictures with a plot and ae
tors taken from actual life, depicting
cancer, methods of control and cure,
combined with a lecture on the subject
by Dr. Ernest F. Tucker will be the
central feature of the assembly to be
held this morning in Villard hall.
Dr. Tucker comes to the campus to
lecture as a part of the nation-wide
warfare now being waged against this
disease by the American Society for
the Control of Cancer, of which he is
regional director for Oregon. This so
ciety composed of many the most
noted physicians in the country, has
set aside a week beginning November
12 during which time a concentrated
effort will be made to inform the public
of the character of cancer, its control
and cure.
Cancer Not Communicable
Although cancer is not a communi
cable disease it is the cause of a large
percent of the death rate of persons
over forty years of age in this country.
Modern surgery has proved that can
cer is not incurable and that the great
est menace of the disease lies in the
fact that in its earlier stages it is
painless and the victim is not aware of
its presence until the malady is well
developed.
There are, however, the so-called
“danger signals” by which the dis
ease may be detected in time to allow
a cure. Some of the most apparent
characteristics are: ;iny lump, especial
ly in the breast; any irregular bleed
ing or discharge; any sore that does
not heal, especially about the tongue,
mouth or lips; persistent indigestion
with loss of weight. Should any of
these “danger signals” be discovered,
the sufferer is advised by the highest
medical experts in the country, to see
a physician immediately and not rely
too much on cures other than by oper
ation.
Knife Best Cure
The x-ray and radium are considered
as useful and promising means of check
ing this disease, or at least some cases
of it. However, their usefulness is
greatly limited both because of the
I varying nature of the disease and be
! cause of the rareness of radium, and it
! is earnestly advised that cancer vic
j tims should beware of “cures without
the knife” and submit themselves to
a surgeon’s care as soon as possible.
According to data collected by the
society, “ninety thousand persons die
yearly of cancer in the United States
alone, and the number of deaths from
this disease is steadily increasing and
during the world war the mortality
caused by cancer was greater in the

WORST BOOK IS SOUGHT
Publishing Class Scours Library for
Examples of Printers’ Art
Which is the worst printed and which
is the best printed book in the library?
That is what Dean Allen wants to
know. He has set his publishing class
to find this out. If they make a thor
ough survey of all the books in the
library, they will have to examine
about 16 miles of books.
In examining they are to take notice,
analyze, compare, observe, examine,
and judge of the proportion, balance,
spacing, ornamentation, harmony, ap
propriateness, tone, and content of the
volumes they select as superlative ex
amples of the printers' art.
LUNCHEON CLUB FORMED
Girls to Prepare Cafeteria Meals Under
Miss ColUer at Y. W.
A group of about thirty girls who
every day go to the Y. W. Bungalow
to eat their lunch, have organized a
“Luncheon Club” with Bertha Atkin
son, president. Other officers elected
at the first meeting yesterday were Ver
neta Morrison, vice-president, and Jo
sephine Goetchel, secretary-treasurer.
The purpose of the club is to work
out a system of serving hot cafeteria
lunches, in place of cold food which
is carried. Under thp supervision of
Miss Dorothy Collier, a committee will
be appointed to take charge each day
of preparing and serving some appetiz
'ng dish during the luncheon hour.
PRE-GAME RALLY
SCHEDULED FOR
FRIDAY EVENING
Rosebraugh Issues Ultimatum
Saying All Students Must
Be Out for Pepfest
DANCE IN WOMEN’S GYM |
Roughneck Garb Uniform of
Day When Campus Pop
ulace Makes Merry
To arouse the spirit of fight in the
Btudent body before the big game be
tween Oregon and O. A. C. next Sat
urday afternoon, a rally will be staged
tomorrow night at 7:15, starting from
the corner of Thirteenth and Alder.
“We want all the students out,” said
Yell King Rosebraugh. “This will be
the last chance we will have to get
together before the game and we want 1
to got pepped up to fight with the
team.”
The student body band will be on
hand to add to the enthusiasm of the
occasion, and the parade will be large
lv in the vicinity of the campus, end
ing up in the gymnasium of the Wo
man’s buRding. It was originally plan
ned to have the parade go down town
as in former years, but as the commit
tee in charge of the dance was unable
to secure the armory for the student
body dance, which is to immediately
follow the rally, it was thought best
to confine the rally to the campus.
Dance After Rally
Everybody is expected to be out for
the rally, whether they wish to remain
for the dance or not, according to the
yell kings and the dance committee.;
After the customary rally wind-up in i
the Women’s gym of the Woman’s1
building, the rally will break up and
all those who wish to remain for the
dance will lineup in the sun parlor and
contribute to the fund in the hat. Ev
eryone irf expeefed to drop in at least
25 cents. Boots and rough-it clothes
are in order according to those in
charge.
The 0. A. C. Beaver will probably
be brought out and displayed to the
students under a strong guard, accord
ing to the yell leaders. The “Beaver”
is one of the Aggies’ most cherished
symbols, which was originally taken
from them by the University of Wash
ington, and later the University of Or
egon secured it from that institution, at
the same time that they Becured the1
Washington “Big Stick” and tryed to
secure the Oregon Drum. The “Bigi
Stick” was ordered returnd to Wash
ington by a federal court order, after
it had been shipped to Portland.
Beaver Is Prized
The Beaver is as dear to O. A. C.1
us the proverbial “Iron Woman,” a
fountain ornament on the rival campus, I
which has made many journeys to and !
from the two institutions, in past years,,
until a ban was recently put on such
actions by authorities. It is not thought
likely that the Beaver will be taken to
Corvallis on the day of the game.
Comment has been caused on the cam
pus lately by the disappearance of the
banner which adorned the Oregon
bleachers at the Homecoming Oregon
W. S. C. football game. “You Can’t
Beat Oregon Fight.” In the excite

READING MATTER WANTED
| Books or Magazines Will Give Cheer
to Infirmary Convalescents
—
“We need reading matter in the
> worst way,” said Miss Orpha Clouse,
nurse in charge at the infirmary. “If
any one has old magazines they are
through with, or Btory books, or read
ing material of a nature likely to in
terest convalescents they can biting
over to the infirmary, they will be most
welcome.”
Five patients are at present in the
■ infirmary. The two appendicitis cases
who were operated on some weeks ago

JUNIORS TO SHINE
SHOES FOR CHARITY
Bootblacks to Invade Campus
Next Thursday
“Ten rents for shoes, fifteen for
roots.”
Tliis is the price edict of tho junior
.■lass shoe shining committee, which
will create considerable sensation next
I’uesday, accordng to a report made by
Eddie Edlund at junior class meeting
ast night.
Tuesday is “shine” day-—if it doesn’t
rain—it was decided by the class, tho
Members of which evinced considerable
^usto over tire proposition at last
night’s meeting.
The plan as outlinod last night pro
vides that the men of the class will
conduct shine stands at a half a dozen
prominent campus points. The girls
of the class will round up students and
faculty members and will conduct them
to the stands. Shine cloths and daub
ers will bo wielded to the tunes produc
ed by portable phonographs, which will
liven up the proceedings considerably,
according to the belief of those in
charge.
Henryetta Lawrence, Miriam Swartz
and Ray Harlan are working with the
chairman to make tho stunt a success.
If the money raised amounts to a con
siderable sum it will be used by the
committee to purchase Thanksgiving
dinners for poor families of Eugene and
if the amount is not so largo it will
simply be turned over to some char
itable organization.
Jimmie Meek, president of tho class,
declares that the idea has worked at
Washington and Stanford with groat
success and that the Oregon class of
1924 is sure to make a go of it.
The date of the Junior Jazz Jinks
was anounced for January 18 by Mar
cus Youngs, chairman of the Jinks
committee, and Dean Colin V. Dyment
of the school of literature, science and
the arts, and Madeline McManus of
the school of business administration,
were re-elected to the position of class
advisors for the class of 1924. The two
advisors will hold this office throughout
the life of tho class.
NO DO-NUT CROSS COUNTRY
Because of tho lack of interest, do
nut cross-country has been called off,
This will give the organizations plenty
of time to engage in the handball tour
nutrients which are to take place soon.
HEAVY AGGIE MEN

III MINI BATTLE
Opposing Line Will Out-Weigh
Varsity by 20 Pounds to
Each Player
OREGON TO HAVE REGULARS
Shields, Callison Spear and
Latham Are in Game to
Meet Beaver
By Ed Fraser
The Aggies finally have a real foot
ball team; anyway they are sending out
lots of publicity to that effect, and also
nre rather suro of their statements that
they are certain of victory against the
Lemon-Yellow eleven when Oregon and
O. A. C. meet in the annual clash at
Corvallis Saturday.
The lino of the O. A. C. team will
average 200 pounds, thoy admit, and
by the way this will be the heaviest
line on the coast, and will outweigh
the Oregon line by 20 pounds to a man.
Their backfield is also the heaviest on
the coast, taking their own figures, and
will average 180 pounds when the
squads go into action on Bell field
Saturday.
A1 this would seem to indicate that
Oregon has a poor chance at the beat
to" beat the beefy Aggie team this year,
especially when they are playing on
their own field, but there is one. element
our neighbors in Corvallis have forgot
ten and that is the fight and spirit
which characterizes all University of
Oregon teams. This fight has often
won over bigger odds than 20 pounds
to a man, so the Aggies really cannot
count a victory till they have it safe,
and at present it looks as if this is
one of their many off years against
Oregon. The Varsity is working bet
ter right now than at any time this
season, and will be in better condition
and better prepared in overy way for
the game at Corvallis than for any
battle this year. Cogs Campbell is
working out every night and will be
in fine shape for the little tussle. Cogs
is all hopped up over the game, and
if the Aggio line stops his drives they
will have to be all of 200 pounds and
then some.
The entire Varsity is more pepped
up for the battle than for any other
game since the Beaver mix last year,
so if the Aggies can stop such men
as Tiny Shields, Prink Callison, Bill
Spear, Chappy, and Hunk, Oregon will
probably hand it to them.
Prink Callison is a veteran of the
Aggie game of throe years ago, which
Oregon won i> to 0, in which he was
all over the field blocking and recov
cring punts, and as he still plays the
same slashing Htyle it will take more
than one of those 200 pounders to hold
him down.
Coach Huntington is far from be
ing as confident of victory as is Coach
Rutherford of the Aggies and said yes
terday that ho expected the hardest
fought battle of the year. He admits
that the Agriculturists will outweigh
his team more than 20 pounds to the
man, but says his men make up in fight
what they lack in weight.

Dadmun Master of Concert
Style Believes Local Critic
By J. B. S. i
We are wondering, after having
heard ltoyal Dadmun, eminent Ameri- ■
tan baritone, at the Armory last eve
ning, who is really America’s most
noted baritone, for his recital was aj
display of some of the smoothest sing
ing that the writer has ever been priv
ileged to listen to, and he has heard
many, many distinguished artists.
Mr. Dadmun’s voice meets all the nu
merous demands that are made on an
grtist who undertakes serious song re
eitals. It is smooth, delightful of qual
ity, splendidly managed, and can be
spun to a very fine ,pianissimo without
losing any of its exquisite quality. He
is a past master of shading, and knows
how to most successfully portray moods.
Splendid breath control and excellent
enunciation are also two of his assets,
and while he sang in magnificent fash
ion the aria, “Kri tu” from “The Mask
ed Ball,” Verdi, yet he is most emin
ently equipped for the fine giving of
recital programs.
One cannot imagine any singing more
beautiful in legato, phrasing and de
lightful interpretation thun “Where’er
Tou Walk” (Hemele), Handel; “Con
templation,” Wider; “II pleut des pe
tales de fleur,” Rhone Baton and Wal
ter Kramer’s “The Last Hour,” one of
the lovliest American songs that has
been written in recent years. “Occhi
etti Amati,” Falcouieri, was given u
splendid reading and proved to be one
of the best liked of the second group. A
delightful Mozart number from “Se
Vuol Ballare” (Le Nozze di Figaro)
proved to be most charming. Here
the singer demonstrated that he has a
keen sense of humor, which was fur
ther evidenced in the “Song of the
Flea,” MoussorgHky, sung in an in
imitable fashion. “May Day Carol”
urt old Knglish uir arranged by Deems
Taylor and “I Attempt from Love’s
Sickness to Fly,” Purcell, were splen
did examples of songs requiring deli
cate touch and they received splendid
treatment by the artist. “Border Bal
