VOLUME XXIV. _ UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1922 NUMBER^
COAST COLLEGES
SEND DELEGATES
TO CONFERENCE
MacGregor, Youel Go South
to Attend Sessions on
California Campus
MANY OFFICERS WILL MEET
Pacific States and Canada
Will Be Represented at
Week-End Conclave
John MacGregor, president of the
A. S. U. O., and Kenneth Youel, editor
of the Oregon Daily Emerald will leave
Eugene for Berkeley, California, to
night on Shasta to attend the meeting
of the student presidents and editors
conferences in that city on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday of this week, ac
cording to announcement made by the
office of the associated students, yes
terday.
MacGregor is secretary of the pres
ident 's conference, and Youel is presi
dent 'f the Pacific Intercollegiate Press
association, filling the place of Floyd
Maxwell, editor of the Emerald, 1921
22. The official title of the president’s
conference is “Pacific Coast Associa
tion of University Student Body Pres
idents,” according to Maegregor.
Large Section Represented
"As secretary or the conterenee,
said MacGregor, “I have been receiving
numbers of letters from the presidents,
whc are expecting to attend. Practic
ally the entire Pacific coast will bo
represented, and an interesting fact is
that the University of British Co'urn
bia. is also sending a representative tr
the conferense. Hence it will be se’n
that we arc maintaining the conference
on international lines. Oar aim is to
get the student presidents where’er
they are together, to discus, problems |
of student life. It is likely that at this ,
conference we will discuss the honor
system, the point system, and such sim
ilar topics.”
The presidents’ association is four
years old, and in that time has held
on- meeting on this campus. Herbert
Little of the-University of Washington
is president of the association.
About 15 papers will be represented
at the meeting of the press association,
accord’ng to Youel. Problems of col
lege news will be discussed, including
the Pacific Intereoliegiate News Ser
vice. Fred Michelson and Harold Shir
ley, members of the Emerald staff are
P. I. N. S. editors of the University
campus. A plan will also be discussed
for the exchange of editorials among
the members of the association. The
association will also discuss the feasi
bility of joining some national press
association.
Beneficial Meeting Expected
“I have received letters from a num
ber of the members of the conference
who are expecting to attend, and all of
them are highly enthusiastic over the
prospects for a lively and interesting
and beneficial meeting. Probably about
15 editors of college weeklies, tri-week
lies, and dailies will attend, and a few
managers, though as a rule the mana
gers do not attend as they are not mem
bers.”
Though the two conferences of presi
dents and editors are held at the same
time and in the same place for the con
venience of the members, all meetings
except two will be held separately. On
Thursday evening, however, the mem
bers of the conference will attend a
joint banquet, and on Friday morning
the conference will hold the last meet
ing jointly. On Saturday afternoon,
both editors and presidents will attend
the annual Stanford-California football
game.
RALLY DANCE
FULL OF PEP
STUDENTS MAKE MERRY WHILE
CELEBRATING VICTORY
Men’s Gym Scene of Impromptu Affair;
Eight O'clocks and Exams
Are Forgotten
Boots, cords, old clothes ami pep wore
the keynotes of the rally dance held in
the men's gym last night to celebrate
the varsity’s 10-0 victory over the Ag
gies pn Saturday. Everybody was out
even the “conscientious objectors” wuo
have eight o’clocks Tuesday mornings
and ordinarily don’t indulge in Monday
night festvities. Psych quizzes, wo”ld
lit papers, and beds were temporarily
forgotten while the student body made
merry for two riotous hours. Seniors
and freshmen alike “tripped the light
fantastic toe” on other people’s feet
and the old gym echoed with jazz.
There were no “eats” but who was
hungry so soon after dinner and after
the feed of Beaver meat on Saturday,
anyway?
“Oo-h,” exclaimed one weary co-ed,
who didn’t have room to dance on her
own feet, “I wish we could beat the
Beavers every day, and have a rally
dance every night.” There were some
battle-scarred ones who wouldn’t agree
with her, however.
L. N. P. IS NEW CLUB OF
SCRUB FOOTBALL TEAM
Organization May Be Rival to
Order of 0 in Future
A new society to be known as the
L. N. P. club is being organized on
the Oregon campus. Last night about
twenty members of the football squad
who are not lettcar men and who sat on
the bench at the O. A. C. game, met in
the gym to form an organization which
is to be a contemporary perhaps a rival
to the Order of the O.
Officers of the club were elected as
follows: Moe Sax, president; Verden
Hockett, vice-president; and Eav Harlan,
secretary. The official name of the or
ganization is' being withheld by the offi
cers.
The purpose of the society, according
to members present at the meeting, is
to foster a better spirit of friendship
and good fellowship among the members
of the scrub football team. It was felt
by those starting the organization that
they are missing some of the activities
that the Order of the O got. Social af
fairs similar to those put on by the letter
men’s club are being planned. The first
social functions as outlined last night will
be a dance and a banquet which are to
take place soon after the football training
season ends.
The only prerequisite to membership
will be the requirement that the new mem
bers sit on the bench at the annual Ore
gon-O. A. C. game. The second stringers
who occupied this place in Saturday’s
contest will be charter members. Each
year after the Aggie game the new mem
bers will be initiated. Any member who
wins his letter in football, however, will
not be eligible.
Members of the Order of O will be
made honorary members but will not be
allowed to attend meetings or to have any
voice in the government. Honorary mem
bership includes benefits which may be
derived from the social functions.
DONALD BARNES TO SPEAR
Miss Touv. faculty advisor of Le
Foyer Franeaia, will give a talk on
“Exposition Coloniale de Marseille,”
and Donald Barnes, professor of his
tory, will speak in English on his trav
els in France, following the regular
business meeting of the French club
at the “Y” hut tonight at 8 o’clock.
The time and place have been changed
owing to the women’s intramural de
bates. Joanna James will sing several
selections, also.
Quiet Art Room of Library
Offers Solace Among Books
By K. W.
In the art room of the library—up
over the circulation desk—and the
room all to one’s self. No sound but
the confused murmur of activity in the
room below, or the intermittent stir
ring of feet as bells ring for classes.
A book—on the table where the last
person left it—catches the eye, and a
glance shows it to be -‘The Eubaiyat of
Omar Khayyam,’’.lovely in its binding
intriguing in its artistic printing, and
as we idly finger the heavy pages, con
ning over the familiar verses we think
in Lowell’s words:
“These pearls of thought in Persian
gulfs were bred,
Each softly lueent as a rounded moon;
The diver, Omar, plneked them from
their bed;
Fitzgerald strung them on an English
thread.”
Unwillingly resigning the volume
with a last look at one- of its colorful
illustrations, a sickle moon, a Persian
turret, far-away date palms cobwebbing
the blue-green sky—
Reminiscent of rainy afternoons
spent long ago is a volume of Arabian
Nights, illustrated by Maxfield Par
rish. In a moment Ali-Babi and the
forty thieves populate the small room
—in the distance the City of Brass looms,
up glaring, fascinating, a huge giant
snores in a loud and terrifying manner.
The colors of Maxfield Parrish have
given to the Arabian Nights the su
preme touch.
A book of Ingoldsby’s old'legends
called Mirth and Marvels, resplendent
in red and gold binding, holds old mem
ories and new surprises, and shares
with the volume next to it, Grimm’s
Fairy Tales, the delight of Arthur
(Continued on page three.)
POINT STSTENI TO
BE CONSIDERED DT
Will. FOR ACTION
Meeting of League This After
noon to Decide New Method
of Awards for Women
1000 POINTS ARE REQUIRED
Proposed Method of Counting
Is Given; White Sweater
Is Suggested
At a mass meeting of the Woman’s
Athletic association this afternoon at 5
o’clock in the Woman’s building, a
point system of awards will be present
ed for adoption by the members.
Due to the ruling of national W. A.
A. against varsity sports, the old sys
tem of awarding varsity sweaters is out
of vogue. The proposed method will
do away with sweaters as awards for
participation in varsity, and all letters
for class and individual awards. Sweat
ers, however, will be given to girls who i
have won 1,000 points.
It is estimated that at least two years
of continuous work on class, do-nut, ’
and individual merits, will be neces- I
sarv for a girl to receive a sweater. In-.
stead of the blue varsity sweater, pre
viously awarded, a white one with a
yellow “O,” on a background of green,
has been suggested, as this is in accord
ance with the type of sweaters given
by other universities. To the girl win
ning 500 points a smaller “O” will be
presented. Only members of W. A. A.
will be eligible for awards.
Points Given for Honors
Besides the points given for athletics
points will also be given for honors iu
required work, including dancing, swim
ming, and junior and senior electives.
Points for the latter will only be given
two out of the three terms. Sports
for which points will be given are bas
ketball. baseball, swimming, tennis,
archery, hiking, track, hockey, canoe
ing and volleybali. The proposed sys
tem is as follows: Class, 100 points for
class team, 25 additional points for the
all star team, 50 points for second class
team. 25 third class team, 15 fourth
class team, 20 second team player sub
stituting on the first team, 15 third
team player substituting on second
team, 5 fourth team player substitut-1
ing on third team. A substitute must
play the equivalent of a game.
Do-nut: 50 points for all do-nut
teams. A member of the first class
team gets no points for do-nut. 10 \
points for do-nut player on second class
team, five points for the same playing
on the third class team.
Hiking: 50 points for 50 miles made
in one term (each hike must be at least
five miles in distance^) Only 100 points
to be given an individual a year.
Honors in required work: 25 points,
efficiency test (score to be decided).
25 points, swimming; 25, dancing; 25
for junior and senior electives.

SIDELIGHTS ON OREGON-AGGIE GAME
REVEAL PHASES OF CONTEST
NOT SEEN BY ALL
Scribe Believes Stunt Between Halves Was
Portentous of Lock-step Shift Pulled
in Latter Stages of Tilt
—
A monster sign over the covered
bleachers where the Aggie rooters were
assembled read “60 minutes of fight.’’
Thr«'e or four zealous Orange and Black
rooters unconsciously, as they climbed up
on top of the structure to get a better
view, stood in front of the ‘6.” This
destroyed for a time* the meaning which
was to Le conveyed to those in the grand
statu!.
• • •
Two French “75’s’’ furnished by the
military department were to be fired
when the O. A. C. scored on their oppo
nents. They fired volleys at the kick
offs but did not have the opportunity to
celebrate any any scores, so contented
themselves with firing whenever their
team made yardage.
• • •
The IT. of O. special was met and es
corted to the grounds by the Aggie R. O.
T. 0. band. The University band lod
the march followed by the Corvallis or
ganization. The largest, crowd of \Tni
versity folk ever in Corvnllis followed
in columns of fours stretching out over
'four blocks in length.
As the first Oregon student stepped
through the gates a huge siren sounded
as a greeting. Later in the game ties
instrument of noise was a great factor
in aiding the yelling. A misunderstand
ing caused about liaif of the Oregon root
ers to go down to the south-end bleach
ers ns the pnrade came in. The Oregon
men came back on a run past tlie Aggie
rooters to their own section.
Before the game and during the cross
country run the hot dog verniers made a
“killing” around the Oregon crowd.
There was a reason. Tho special was
late and no one bad time to get lunch
before the start of the parade. One of
these salesmen in his haste to get back
for more “dogs” spilled a pocketful of
money in the mud.
* ...
The visiting team’s substitutes were
the first to come on ttie field. They meek
-—--—_!
: Iv took their places on the bench directly
in front of the covered bleachers which
the orange and black rooters occupied.
A great ovation from the siren and root
ers announced the arrival of O. A. C. *s
1 eleven which appeared in new looking
black jerseys with orange stripes.
A noise battle ensued a moment later
(between both sections when the varsity
trotted on the water-soaked gridiron. In
spite of the fact that they did not have
any mechanical contrivance to offset the
•siren their noise was “entirely” audible
to those in the grandstand.
• • •
The performance staged between halves
might have been put on by O. A. C. to
show how their team was going to work
later in the game. One of the formations
was similar to the famous Sing Sing
lockstep used by Center College against
Harvard. This play was used by Ruth
erford's men with some gain In the sec
ond half.
• • •
The stunt with the orange and black
cards proved very effective. A solid
mass of orange was first presented to the
eyes of those in the grandstand which was
later turned into a large orange O with
a black center. A moment later and an
A and a C were formed almost, instan
taneously.
A roar of admiration sounded from tho
Oregon alumni seated in the north end
of the grandstand when the Lemon-Yellow
“Special” steamed into view and come
to a stop just outside of the south bleach,
ers. The engine, decorated and painted
in university colors, was hauling six
coaches.
* • •
Two college women officiated as lead
ers for the O. A. C. girls’ section in the
singing of their new march song.
From the stands the balloons held dur
ing the entire contest bv tlie O. A. C. girls
attracted attention. Equally impressive
were the yellow chrysanthemums adorning
the coats of the Oregon co-ed delegation. I

CAMPUS HI HAS NEW SONG
“Boosting the Old High School” Is
Composition by Ward Wilkes
The campus high school has adopted
a new song. Its title is “Boosting the
Old High School.” The music was wri -
ten by Vincent Ingledinger of the Uni
i versity School of Music, and the words
by Ward Wilkes. According to Prin
cipal Harold Benjamin of the high
school, the song has enough spirit to be
! a cheer, and enough weight to be a
chant.
The old song of the Campus Hi is a
j parody on Mighty Oregon, called "U.
lot' O. P>gh School.” This song is sf.l!
! sung by the students but it was
, thought that something more distinc
| tive should be produced for the school
song.
FOUE GAMES V/Off BY HIGH
A news item appeared in the Thurs
day Emu aid to the effect that the
University high school had won the sev
i i"i p-a -uce games played this yeer with
; Alpha Tau Omega, Sigma Chi and oth
, era. This was an error. The team has
won only four out of the seven.
RAIN DAMPENS JUNIORS’
ARDOR;M NOT SHINY
Novel Stunt Now Scheduled
for Thursday
It takes sunshine or at least promise
of fairly good weather to make Junior

HUD BROWN OUT
REST OF SEASON
WITH BAD KNEE
Oregon End Is Clipped in Aggie
Game Saturday; Ligaments
Are Badly Torn
SPEAR’S ANKLE SPRAINED
Game With U. of W. May De
cide Which Team Will Play
East Vs. West Game
Kud Brown, the speedy Oregon right
end, is out for the rest of the season
ns a result of being clipped from be
hind iu the Aggio game at Corvallis
Saturday, when his knee was thrown
out of joint and several ligaments in his
leg were badly torn. Rud has been
playing a fast game all year, and his
presence will be greatly missed from
the lineup in the University of Wash
ington game on Thanksgiving.
Other injuries received in the Aggie
game were that Chappy was badly
burned by the lime used for markiug
oft' the yard lines, and Bill Spear played
all of the last quarter with a badly
sprained ankle.
Terry Johnson, who filled in the place
left vacant by Rud, played a good
game. Terry made several neat tackles
and no runs wore made around his end,
so it seems evident that he will be
capable of filling the place for the
remainder of the season.
The game Saturday proved beyond
question that Oregon has the strongest
line of any toam in the conference with
the possible exception of California.
The backflold also is improving a lot,
and showed more dash and speed on the
offensive than in any other contest of
the season. George King was the boy
that was knocking off the yardage
against the Aggies, and made more
yardage than the entire Beaver back
field combined.
King is the strongest defensive back
on the squad, and his backing up of
the line Saturday was a revelation. He
was in every play and certainly played
the game of his life.
U. of W. Game Soon
The most important game of the sea
son for the team looms ten days off with
the University of Washington at Kcat
tle Thanksgiving day, and Coach Hunt
ington intends to make the most of this
time in devising ways and means of
taking the Huskios into camp for the
game which will have a lot iu deciding
which team will play at Pasadena ou
New Yoars day, as California has de
cided not to accept again this year.
Washington seems to have the strong
est eleven in the Northwest, with the
exception of Oregon, as they have beat
en every Coast conference team oxcept
California. They took Stanford down
the lino by a 12 to 8 score Saturday,
while Oregon was beating O. A. C., and
their backficld tore through the Indians
for good guins.
Washington has won several of her
games this year by a liberal use of
the forward pass, and Oregon has a
good defense against this, as in the Ag
gie game they broke up and intercept
ed about six passes to every one that
was completed.
The men ure all slightly bruisod from
Saturday’s game, but with the excep
tion of Brown will all be back in shape
in several days, and according to Train
er Bill Hayward should be in the best
shape of the season by Thanksgiving.
CAR TIPS ON WAY TO GAME
Paul Van Allen and Bob Hawkins In
jured In Accident on Corvallis Road
I’aul Van Allen, an O. A. C. grad
uate, was injured badly in an auto
mobile accident Saturday morning. He
wuh driving to Corvallis to see the foot
ball game and hud with him four Ore
gon students: Hob Hawkins, Francis
Altstoek, Karl Hhaefer, and Bill I’oul
son. All the Oregon students escaped
injuries except Bob Hawkins, who had
his nose broken and his face severely
bruised.
The accident occurred 8 miles out
side of Eugene when the car, going
about 30 miles an hour, skidded in the
mud and turned over several times.
The occupants were thrown free of the
car, which was smashed up very badly.
Van Allen was injured in the back ami
chest and was taken to the Eugene hos
pital. He is said to be getting along
well and will be out in a short time.
EUGENIA PAGE ENGAGED
The engagement of Eugenia Page and
Neil Morfitt was announced at dinner
at the Alpha Phi house last Friday
night. Miss Page is a member of the
class of 1925. Neil Morfitt, who is a
member of tiiguia Nu, finished his uni
versity work last year.
