WOMEN ACCEPT
POINT SYSTEM
POO ATHLETICS
Sweater Awarded After 1000
Are Earned. Which Takes
at Least Two Years
STUDENT COUNCIL TO ACT
Mass Meeting of Co-Eds Held
to Consider Plan; Vote
To Adopt It
The point system of awards pre
sented at the mass meeting of the Wo
man’s Athletic association yesterday
afternoon, was unanimosuly adopted
with reservations to be made. A com
mittee, previously appointed to formu
late the new system, will act in regard
to making the desired adjustments.
Acocrding to the new plan, 1000
points must be made by a girl before
she may receive a sweater. As it was
estimated that two or three years par
ticipation in athletics would be neces
sary to earn these points, some ques
tion arose as to the possibility of girls,
now in their junior and senior years,
winning these awards. A motion was
made and carried, that the committee
which devised the system, investigate
the possibility of crediting upperclass
women with points for participation in
athletics in previous years, if records
are available, and, if this were found
impossible, to lessen the required num
ber of points for upperclass women.
As soon as the final detailed arrange
ments of this point system have been
adopted by the Woman’s Athletic as
sociation, the plan will be presented to
the student council for its action which
will definitely decide its adoption or
rejection. The sentiment on the part
of the men on the campus, seems un
favorable to the point system on the
basis that sweaters have been and will
be awarded without much participa
tion in athletics.
JNo greater amount ot sweaters will
be awarded than in the past, said Flor
ence Jaegger, president of the Woman’s
Athletic association, as the new plan
tends to liminate the possibility of a
large number of girls winning awards,
because of the required number of
points.
Mlidred Brown, chairman of the Wo
man’s Athletic committee of the stu
dent body, read the plan of the new
system and spoke of its use in nearly
all colleges and universities in the Uni
ted States. Miss Brown later said that
unless the proposed system were adop
ted at the University of Oregon, the
local organization of W. A. A. would
ultimately be banished from member
ship in the national Woman’s Athletic
associtaion, as the hundred point basis,
upon which the proposed plan was form
ed, is the basis of the national organi
zation. Miss Alden, head of the depart
ment of physical education, said that
the point system reached the good all
around athlete, who perhaps would not
qualify for varsity, if that phase of
women’s athletics were permitted.
Letter awards for basketball, base
ball, swimming, walking and other
sports, previously given, will not be
awarded in the future, because of the
unanimous vote of the members at the
meeting. As expressed by one member,
these small letters meant very little
to the winner, and were an additional
expense to the local W. A. A. It was
also voted that sports would not be
divided into major and minor divisions,
but that 25 additional points will be
awarded to girls playing on intercol
legiate class teams.
Vachel Lindsay, Roaming Bard,
Coming Here November 28, Sure
A little man is eoming to the Oregon
campus. A little man that booms about
lions, and darkies—boom-lah-boom-lah
boom-lah-boom, the ghosts are coming
soon, and so, on ad infinitum.
Strange, too, he is a popular little
man, and he has been the subject of
more lion hunts in England and Amer
ica, than any other American poet. He
has been the honor guest at pink teas,
and men’s smokers, and he still re
mains unspoiled. Vacbel Lindsay is
Vachel Lindsay, and everyone loves
him. Probably, too, its the “him” in
his poetry that they love.
Vachel Lindsay has been coming to
the University before. Twice now, has
the campus wrought itself up to a pitch
of excitement, boom-lah-boom-lah-boom
lah-boom, chasing lions through the
jungle till the next day noon. And
after it all, Lindsay did not come.
November 28 is the red letter day on
the Oregon calendar. Last year saw
Alfred Zimmern, famous scholar, but
withal and above all, an interesting
man in our midst. This school term
will see Vachel Lindsay, “America’s
tramp poet” with us. Old Villard will
probably be the place, but the details
of the place of meeting and of the
ticket sale will be announced later.
But remember that Lindsay is hu
man; he i3 no wild-eyed, uninteresting
poet. He is a man that everyone will
"fall for.” For lovers and lovers-to-be
of Lindsay, The Bookman, a current
magazine, puts forth the following de
lightful morsel:
“Vachel is ruddy, sandy-haired, mid
dle-sized, with eyes the color of a green
twilight^ and pale eyebrows ... First
he bows very low, with excessive polite
ness; then he throws his head back,

MANY STUDENTS WITH
SAME NAME ON CAMPUS
Twenty-Four Johnsons Here;
Smiths Number Nineteen
With a total registration of 2189 stu
dents, duplication in names is to be
expected but, according to some mem
bers of the business staff, this year’s
list includes an unusual amount of sim
ilarity. The Smith “clan,” of which
nineteen are now registered in the
University, must give lirst place, which
they usually hold, to the 24 Johnsons.
The Jones and Brown “tribes” which
are commonly supposed to exist in great
numbers, have only eight and ten mem
bers respectively on this campus, while
there are 12 Wilsons, 12 Andersons, 11
Rices, 10 Millers, 9 Taylors, 8 Lewises,
and 8 Campbells. The Moore, Wood
and Phillips families each have seven
of their names on the list.
An exact duplication of names is
not often found but there are at least
seven examples of such a duplication
among the students on the campus this
year. Mary Lou Burton, a senior in
the school of journalism, has a name
sake in Mary Louise Burton who is a
freshman in the school of music. Mable
Lucile Johnson is a senior in the fine
arts department while Mable Pern
Johnson is registered in the school of
music as a junior.
The Johnsons are often a source of
error, for we have Minnie Charlotta
Johnson, junior in the history depart
ment, and Minnie Martina Johnson, a
senior majoring in English. Earl Mil
ton Smith, a freshman in the school of
business administration, is sometimes
confused with Earl Wallace Smith, a
sophomore in pre-engineering depart
ment. Helen E. Smith and Helen Lou
ise Smith also have trouble in keeping
their separate identities. Helen E. is
a junior majoring in botany while Hel
en Louise is registered as a freshman
in the school of business administra
tion.
Further duplications include Charles
Faulk Wilson, a special student taking
work in the school of architecture, and
Charles Kenneth Wilson, a freshman
in the school of business administra
tion. The freshman class list includes
Edith Anna Pierce, physical educatiorf
major, and Edith Sally Pierce, whose
major is English

EITHER OREGON 01
WASHINGTON MAY
j PLAY PENN STATE
_
Team to Enter Intersectional
Contest Must Be Chosen
By Conference Vote
GAME IS NEW YEAR’S DAY
Demurring of California Is
Cause of Much Comment;
May Reconsider
The Oregon and University of Wash
ington football teams now have a much
better chance to play the New Years
intersectional game at Pasadena than
any of their Pacific Coast conference
competitors, for the reason that they
are the leading teams in the conference
with the exception of California. and
this team has decided not to play again
this year.
This withdrawal by California has
been much discussed of late, and as far
as can be ascertained there is no rea
son why they should not think the mat
ter over again if they were officially
invited to play again, so the matter
at present is quite badly balled up.
Conference Must Vote
Under the rules of the conference
the team which plays in the interseo
tional game must be selected by a vote
of the conference, and does not neces
sarily have to be the strongest one.
California’s decision has not been sent
to the officials of the conference, ac
cording to President Dubach, and un
til an official notice is received from
the southern school withdrawing their
team from the intersectioual game they
must be considered in the running.
The game at Seattle will not neces
sarily decide which team will play at
Pasadena, for if California reconsiders
and offers to accept the proffer, it may
become necessary to play a post season
contest between California and the win
ner of the Oregon-University of Wash
ington game.
Oregon Team Stronger
The Oregon teum at present is a great '
deal stronger than at any other time I
during the year, is improving every
day, and should be able to show a1
more varied offense and a stronger de- 1
fense against Washington on Thanks- '
giving day than they have had to put
out so far.
The real trouble with the varsity this
season has been that they have had no '
real open field runners in the backfield
that can break away for 30 and 40 yard
gains, as Bill Steers used to do, and'
the California backs have been doing.
The Oregon backs are all good men,
but there are no stars on the squad
who can twist and dodge tacklers con
sistently.
Line Redoubtable
The line is without a doubt as strong
as any on the coast as they have out
played and outcharged every forward
defense which they met. The Wash
ington State and Aggie games were
the only contests in which Oregon had
the full strength of her line in the
game, and the scores of some of the
early season clashes might have been
much larger in favor of the varsity, but
for the fact that several of the best
linemen were out with injuries.
Tlie University of Southern Califor
nia is putting up a loud cry that she
is entitled to represent the West as
a result of holding Caliofnia to a 12
to 0 game, but it seems they are a little
hasty when they have Washington
State yet to play, and the Cougars are
getting stronger with every game. Sou
thern California has not shown up very
strong so far, and was only able to
beat Stanford 6 to 0. and Stanford is
one of the weak teams of the confer
ence.
STUDENTS TEACH AT HIGH
School of Education Furnishes Six
Art, Six Physical Instructors
More than one-fourth of the teach
ing in the University high is done by
supervised teachers from the University
School of Education. There are also
supervised teachers practicing in Hen
dricks high school, in Springfield, and
in the Eugene Bible University.
Of those teaching in the University
Hi, six are art teachers working direct
ly under Miss Helen Kuykendall, six
are teachers of physical education,
working directly under Miss Florence
j Alden, head of the department.
There are 24 teachers of regular sub
! jects, of whom fofir are in English
' work, five in foreign languages, four in
history, three in mathematics, two in
typewriting, one in shorthand, four in
science, and one as assistant librarian.
,President or Oregon Associated Students
Leaves to Attend Meeting at Berkeley
John MacGregor
Oregon’s representatives to the dual conferences of student body presidents
and editors of Pacific ('oast Universities, left for Berkeley, California, last
night where they will be the guests of the University of California during the
remainder of this week. At the last minute yesterday, it was decided after
a meeting of the finance committee of the executive council to send Vice
President Owen Calloway of the Associated Students as companion delegate of
President John MacGregor to the conference.
Thus Oregon’s three delegates to the two conferences will be MacGrgor and
Calloway, and Kenneth Youel, editor of The Emerald, who will nttond the
editorial conference as president of the intercollegiate press association. Par
ing Youel’s absence, tho Emerald will be under the direction of Ep Hoyt and
Inez King, associate editors, and Phil Brogan, managing editor.
During their stay in Berkeley, the delegates will attend two meetings of the
conferences daily, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, of Thursday
and Friday. On Thursday oveniug, tho president’s conference will meet jointly
with the editorial conference in a banquet gathering, and on Saturday morning,
the last meeting of the two conferences will be held jointly. On Saturday after
noon the delegates will attend the Stanford California football gamo, and will
leave Saturday night for their respective destinations. MacGregor, Cnlloway
and Youel are expected to return to Eugene either Sunday evening or Monday
This is the fourth year of the organization of the Pacific Intercollegiate
Association of Student Body Presidents, and the third year of tho organization
of the Pacific Intercollegiate Press Association. The former organization meets
semi-annually, and tho editorial association annually. Tho presidents met last
spring in Corvallis, and last fall in Seattle at the U. of W. in conjunction with
the editors.
Just before leaving last night, both of the presidential delegates expressed
high hopes for the success of the conference, and Youel declared that from
letters received he anticipated a lively discussion of matters pertaining to col
lege news.
BEHAVIOR AT GAME
COMMENDED BY DYMENT
Change of Attitude Toward Good
Sportsmansliip at Contests
Felt by the Dean
“I think the Oregon faculty was very
proud of the Oregon student body as
well as the Oregon team last Saturday,”
replied Dean Dyment when questioned
as to his feelings on the behaviour of j
the Oregon students at Corvallis.
“The gradual change in the attitude
of western students was visible in both
rooters ’ sections. Knowing that rival
ry was uncommonly high this year, and
that there had been a number of in
flaming incidents, both student bodies
obviously had far more regard for the
feelings of one another than would
have been the case a few years ago,”
he continued. ‘ This change is not the
result of a loss of high spirit; rather it
is a response to the countrywide de
mand that university students get on
a higher plane of conduct and scholar
ship.
“One hopes that the ‘incidenst’
which for a moment this fall made the
Oregon and O. A. 0. students hostile
toward one another will not soon recur,”
Dean Dyment said. “We of this uni
versity were by no inoanH without
blame; in fact, I think we cast the
first stones. Therefore if our people
are entitled to commendation for their
poise and good sportsmanship in the
O. A .C. stadium, the agricultural col
lege is entitled to just as much,” he
finished.
EXTENSION HAS SHOUT RESPITE
The students in the extension school
in Portland are not nearly as fortunate
as their class mates in Eugene, who
have the entire week-end off. They
have only Thanksgiving day itself in
which to celebrate and recover from
it:s gastronomical effects, and must at
tend their classes the following Friday
and Saturday.

Emerald May Go to the Dogs
While Tyrant Youel Is Absent
Tlie Tyrant is gone and while he is 1
away the knaves will play. This all [
means that Ken Youel, head chief of
the Kmerald lias hied himself to the j
sunny south to attend a convention !
at Berkeley, and while he is there the I
destiny of the Emerald will be in the
hands of the stuff, and dire things may
result therefrom.
There is no telling what will hap
pen when the unguided staff is left with
the undertaking. The policy of the
paper may be changed entirely. The
order of the pages may be reversed.
Lyle Janz and his gang may rash the
composing room and see to it that the
back page of the paper will appear
under the banner.
Priests Will Buie
Whether the remainder of thii edi
torial staff will be able to handle the
fiendish pack of news hounds remains
to be seen. Whether Phil Brogan and
Inez King, high priests to Youel, will
' be able to keep the pack in leash is
I
somewhat doubtful. Possibly the news
chasers, still rankling under the ordeal
of tips, will swarm upon the Shack in
a body, kidnap the powers that be, and
then edit the sheet in ghoulish glee.
What the paper would look like is
hard to predict, for when that clan of
typewriter hammerers goes on a ram
page, the sky is the limit. Without
doubt the pages will be filled with scare
heads, mixed type, and other wild signs
of the printing trade.
Scandal Will Appear
The Emerald will, no doubt, reek
with scandal scandal that will put the
campus agog with wonder and dismay.
What some people didn’t know about
themselves will be put before them in
the columns of the publication while
the Sheik of the sheet tarries in the
Herkejey Oasis.
As the Tyrant dines with the powers
down south, a telegram may be rushed
