FOOTBALL SEASON
Financial Statistics Given by
Graduate Manager; Re
turns Very Good
ESTIMATES ARE SURPASSED
Receipts in Many Cases go
Over Mark Set; Expenses
Materially Lowered
Financial statistics for the present
football season, just issued from the
office of the Graduate Manager indi
cate that the most popular of amateur
sports is becoming even more popular
and that from the financial standpoint
football at Oregon is fast becoming an
asset to the Associated Students.
Oregon’s policy in all sports this
year as stated by Jack Benefiel, Grad
uate Manager, is to maintain past
standards, raise them if possible, and
at the same time to retrench finan
cially. The fact that in most of the
conference games played this year the
actual expense of the game to Oregon
has been less than the estimated ex
pense, the amount allowed for in the
annual athletic budget, shows that the
football management is in accord with
the new policy.
On the other hand the gate receipts,
the actual income from the games has
amounted, in most cases, to many hun
dreds of dollars more than the esti
mate.
Net Loss at Beginning
The early season games of the Var
sity and the Frosh contests resulted
in a net loss of $900, which was cov
ered by the budget. In the first big
game, that with Idaho at Portland, the
estimated expense was $500 while the
actual expenditure was $489. The esti
mated ineome was $1800 and the actual
income was $2718. The total gate re
ceipts for this game was $7326. Ex
penses consumed $1887 and Idaho was
allowed the same amount as Oregon,
$2718.
The Whitman game at tcuuwwu
netted $2290 as against an estimate of
$1500. Expenses for this contest were
$1350, or $150 less than the budget
had allowed. Returns on the W. S. C.
Homecoming game are not complete,
although the estimated receipts for
Oregon are placed around $3000. The
budget had reckoned on a $5000 in
come from the contest.
The O. A. C. game was a success in
more ways than one, for the actual in
come from the game exceeded the es
timate by $1208. Five thousand dol
lars. had been set as the limit by the
computers, while $6208 was actually
realized. Fifty dollars was cut from
the estimated expense, only $150 be
ing required to finance the trip where
$200 had been allowed.
Good Returns Expected
The Washington game, to be played
Thanksgiving at Seattle, is counted
on to yield an income of $5000, and
this figure is practically assured by
the phenomenal crowds that always
flock to the Seattle stadium to wit
ness good football games.
The expense figures given above are
not inclusive of overhead expenses
such as coaches salaries and equipment.
They do include, however, all of the
travel and game expenses.
EASTERN STAR ENTERTAINS
Mrs. A. T. Burnett Addresses Campus
Organization; New Members Elected
The Temenids campus organization
of the Eastern Star, entertained last
week in honor of the officers of the
Eugene Evangeline chapter of the Or
der of Eastern Star at luncheon at the
Anchorage. All officers and members
of the Temenids were present, and pre
ceding the luncheon a short business
meeting was held at which Geraldine
Root was elected reporter.
Mrs. R. T. Burnett, matron of Evan
geline chapter, gave an address to the
members, encouraging the campus or
ganization, and expressing the desire of
the Eugene chapter to co-operate with
the younger members. Other officers
of the Eugene chapter present were
Mrs. Wm. Klusman, Mrs. Robert Fin
layson, Mrs. E. V. Ford, Mrs. R. L.
Huston, and Mrs. Abbie Wheaton.
It was decided that the Temenids
would meet at the Anchorage for lunch
eon on the third Wednesday in each
month. The regular business meeting
is to be held the first Wednesday of
each month at 5 o’clock, in the Wo
men’s League room of the Women’s
building.
WEARER OF PEON
PANTS ABDUCTED
MAGICIAN DONS CASTILIAN GARB
ON WAGER
Kidnappers Carry Student to Heart
of City for Exhibition; Made
to go Home Alley Route
At last it has been done, but the
result was as it has been before. A
prominent player of the University
company and campus magician tried
it and found out that it couldn’t be
done. Our magician wore “Peon
Patts” and they didn’t “get by.”
It happened this way. The student
put on the Toreador garb as the result
of a wager. He understood, however,
that the time limit was a half hour
and the place was inside the house.
Well and good. The bet was con
sidered easy.
Just as the student was spending
the last 60 cents—in his mind—the
door opened and a flock of huskies en
tered and seizing him, propelled him
out to a panting Lizzy Ford. With
the victim struggling desperately, Liz
zy headed for Willamette street and
the Varsity.
Here the magician and his “bull
fightin’ breeches” caused much amuse
ment as well as adverse comment. The
fest in the Varsity lasted for a short
time and then the culprits who spir
ited him froip his home took him out
in a dark street and removed the sar
torial garb of Sunny Castile.
Sans the gay encasements, the magi
cal one was forced to wend his way
homeward through alleys and other
shady spots attired in that special
raiment made by a well known firm
and easily recognized by the trade
mark of three letters. <
So passeth the peon pants.
FACULTY WILL NOT BE
' CANVASSED IN DRIVE
Instructors Expected to Join
Red Cross Voluntarily
The annual Bed Cross drive to be
launched on the campus next Tuesday
will be conducted differently among
the faculty members than it has been
heretofore. There will be no canvas
sing, but all those desiring to join this
national organization will do so vol
untarily.
In order to facilitate handling the
drive and to avoid dragging it along
it will last but one day, Tuesday, No
vember 28. It is urged that all fac
ulty members and those j>f the business
force on the campus who desire to join
the Bed Cross, see the faculty mem
ber in each department designated to
receive enrollments. Since but one day
is given to the drive and no canvasses
will be made, it is imperative that each
prospective member see his or her
faculty member authorized to enroll
members in that department.
Following is a list of those who will
enroll faculty men and women, and any
one else connected with the University
and not members of the student body.

BOOKS GIVEN TO PRESIDENT
Author of Books is Dr. J. N. Goltra,
TJ. of O. Class of 1886
President P. L. Campbell recently re
ceived a spleiidid set of books on pre
ventive medicine from Dr. John Nelson
Goltra, graduate of the University of
Oregon, class of 1886. The set con
sists of six volumes, all of which treat
on the subject of prevention rather
than cure, and are so written that the
j ordinary person can understand and
make use of the many suggestions for
prevention and elimination of various
[ bodily ills and diseases.
Dr. Goltra, the author of the books,
is at present practicing medicine in
Evanston, Illinois. The gift is a per
sonal one to President Campbell, as
Dr. Goltra has long been a warm friend
of the president.
Dr. Goltra presented the set to his
; friend while on a visit to his sister,
Mrs. F. M. Wilkins, 187 W. Ninth
street, Eugene, who, with her husband,
I was celebrating their golden wedding
i anniversary,

VARSITY DEBATERS
PREPARING FOR
AGGIE DUAL MEET
Affirmative Group to Remain
on Campus; Negative to
# Go to Corvallis
REED OUT OF CONTEST
Robinson Forced by III Health
to Drop Out; Rice to
Take His Place
Both Varsity debating teams are
working on the later stages of prepara
tion for the Oregon-0. A. C. dual de
bate, which will be held bn the Ore
gon campus, probably in Guild hall,
'and in Corvallis, on December 11. The
[ date for this first debate has been
changed from December 8 to December
11. This was to have been a triangular
debate, the third participant to have
been Reed, but the Portland college
ras dropped out, leaving Oregon and O.
A. C. contending for the forensic
. honors. •
A change in the personnel of the
debating team was made at the first
of the week, when Claude Robinson
was obliged by ill health to drop out
of the team. In his place, Ted Rice
was substituted, and will take up the
work where Robinson left off. By a
strange coincidence, the conditions are
reversed this year from that of last
year. Last year it was Rice who was
compelled to withdraw from forensic
activities for the same reason, and it
was Claude Robinson who was ap
pointed in his place.
Rice is not new to debating on the
Varsity team. With Remy Cox, he was
on the team that defeated Stanford
two years ago. He is considered a
debater of good standing and proven
ability.
In the debate December 11th, the af
firmative team will remain on the cam
pus, while the negative will journey
to Corvallis to cross verbal swords
with the O. A. C. team. The affirma
tive team is composed^bf Ted Rice and
Charles Lamb. Boyd Iseminger and
Ralph Bailey make up the negative
team. j
WITHDRAWALS 29 MORE
THAN IN SPRING TERM
December 1 Final Date for Leaving
Without Petitioning Faculty;
67 Gone by November 24
Twenty-nine more students have al
ready withdrawn from the University
this term than during the entire spring
term of last year, according to figures
given out from the registrar’s office.
Last spring, 22 men and 16 women vol
untarily withdrew while, until Novem
ber 24 of this year, 48 men and 19
women have withdrawn. The total
number of withdrawals will undoub
tedly be larger after December 1, the
last date on which a student may with
draw without petitioning.
This total is not unusual, however,
when it is compared with the figures
for former fall and winter terms. In
the fall term of last year, 58 men and
124 women left the University without
completing the term work and in the
j winter term the total was even larger
| with 51 men and 38 women withdraw
ing- v
The last date on which a student may
petition the faculty to withdraw from
a subject or course is December 1. Af
ter that time the only way by which
a student may be released' from the
responsibility for the work in any given
course is by petitioning the faculty
to withdraw from the University.
PHILOSOPHY CLUB MEETS
Dean Sheldon Gives Ideas of Croce
Benedetto, on History
At the last meeting of the Philoso
phy club in the Woman’s League rooms
of the Woman’t^ building, Dean Shel
don of the school of education read a
paper on Croce Benedetto, dealing with
this Italian philosopher’s ideas on his
tory. This famous historian, was Min
ister of Public Instruction for the
kingdom of Italy. It is his contention
that the art of writing history is in
having the historian live over again
the events he describes so that the
reader can realize them.
A general discussion followed the
reading of the paper, in which the
participants were Dr. E. 8. Bates, Dr
E. 8. Conklin, Dr. B. H. Wheeler, Prof
Walter Barnes, Prof. Donald Barnes
and Elbert Hoskins.
Many Pay for Entire Training;
275 Partly Supporting
Selves in School
Y.M. AND Y.W. SECURE JOBS
93 Get Positions From Hut; 10
in Extension Division;
21 at Library
“How do they do it?” is the ques
tion one might well ask when con
fronted with the fact that of the 2185
students registered in the University
915 are either wholly or partially self
supporting, (520 being entirely self
supporting.
The ways in which one may earn a
living are many and varied, as inves
tigation will prove. The Y. W. and
Y. M. are the biggest agencies on the
campus for procuring work for the
students.
Miss Dorothy Collier, secretary of
the Y. W. C. A., said that of the 45
girls earning their board and room, 22
work in private homes, 10 earn the
equivalent in serving positions at the
halls of residence and other places,
9 by doing housework, 6 by earing for
children, clerking and other miscel
laneous ways.
Girls earning less than this who
work regularly are: 32 doing odd jobs
of housework, 9 doing clerical and!
stenographic, work.
Many Short Time Jobs
“Statistics cannot^ be definitely
compiled,” said Miss Collier, “be
cause many girls who have applied for
work here, later get work which is
not recorded or which does not come
through the Y. W. We constantly get
calls for short time jobs such as mail
ing, addressing, calls from florist
shops doing demonstration work, and
serving for parties and dinners.”
Mrs. Donnelly at the Y. M. C. A.
states that she has 93 on her regular
employment roll, and gives $10,000
as the net sum which she expects those
getting work through that source to
earn this term, in comparison with an
approximate amount of $31,000 which
was earned all last year.
“It is the best we have ever done,"
said Mrs. Donnelly in speaking of her
work. “Of course the people of the
town stand by us. They know that
when they call on us for men they can
depend on the work that will bo done.
We guarantee our work this year. If
it is not well done by the people wo
send oui, wo have it done over or re
fund the money. We want the co
operation of the people for whom the
boys work.”
All Kinds of Work Done
The knd of work that these men are
doing includes janitorial jobs, working
in bakeries, soda fountains* garages,
barber shops, furniture hospital, shoe
stores, filling stations, washing dishes,
and even caring for children in the ab
sence of their mothers. There are
over a hundred men depending on odd
jobs to earn their living.
One woman who rents the upper
story of her home says that it is oc
cupied by twelve college men who are
all self supporting. These boys cook
their own meals, wash their own clothes
in addition to earning their living and
doing their academic work.
The library furnishes work for 21
students, 10 are regularly employed
at the Extension division and 6 at
the Co-op, besides the number who
| find employment in the different edu
cational departments.
BUILDING NOT ALL NEW
Bricks Saved From Old Structure Used
In Present Construction
Not all of the new art building will
be new, according to the workmen who
i are putting up the brick walls at a
fast rate. Some of the bricks of the
j old building will be used in the new
1 structure. However, according to the
i bricklayers, the use of these bricks
i will differ from those in Uncle Josh
jWeatherby’s account of the school
board’s action on the new schoolhouse.
“They reckoned to build the new
j skulehouse,” said Uncle Josh, “out ol
the bricks of the old skulehouse, but
agreed not to tear down the old skulC'
house till the new one was built.”
Some means will bq taken to hide the
old bricks, however, for they are to b«
( used ^rhere they will be covered with
veneer.
NAME FOR SHACK
LACKS APPROVAL
SCHISM IN GEOLOGISTS’ RANKS
OVER "ROCK HALL”
Facility Members Believe Quartz Mon
Dignified Title for Diminutive
Mineralogy Lab
Rock Hall or Quartz Hall—which
shall it boi With the geology students
favoring the former and the faculty ex
j pressing the belief that the latter is
! the more dignified name, the geology
j department has a real problem to solve.
At the Condon club smoker held in
the diminutive shack situated at the
j rear of the Administration building
last week, a majority of the students
signified their wish by ballot to have
the geology laboratory called Quartz
Hall, but in deference to the minority,
which favored Rock Crusher for a
name, the structure was proclaimed
Rock Hall, combining the two names.
But after mature consideration, mem
bers of the geology faculty and many
of the students believe that Quartz
Hall is the more dignified and ap
propriate name for a building which
houses a miniature smelting plant and
the laboratory equipment, it is pointed
out that “rock” is far from being a
dignified term in the nomenclature of
geology, while “quartz” carries the
impression of endurance, of pureness,
of stability.
The little building, recently decora
ted with green and white paint, is com
posed of one room and a small office.
''''Everything js new,” said Dr. E. T.
Hodge. “Even a leak in the gas pipe,
—that was yesterday’s addition.”
Rock Hall—or Quartz Hall—was for
merly the University postoffice and
many students still go there asking for
mail.
MANY OREGON BACKERS
EXPECTiDJO GO NORTH
Five Hundred Seats Reserved
in Seattle Stadium
Five hundred of the host seats in the
University of Washington stadium have
been reserved for the Oregon students,
and 400 seats for the Oregon alumni,
parents and friends, according to an
nouncement made yesterday by Yell
King Bosebraugh.
‘‘We want everyone who can to turn
out for the Washington game,” said
Bosebraugh. “It. is, sinco events have
turned out as they have this year in
the way of winning all of our con
ference games, the big game of the
season. If the team surmounts this
hump, Oregon will stand a good chance
of playing the Pasadena game. Tho
team needs all of tho pep and enthus
iasm of Oregon’s rooters behind it to
put over a score on Washington. The
Oregon rooting section at tho game
ought to number 900.”
According to Bosebraugh, tliore
will be plenty of ways to travel to
Seattle. The Southern Pacific office
announced yesterday a rate of a fare
and a half for the round trip from Eu
gene to Seattle with n return limit
of December 3, for $14.74. A num
ber of bus drivers about Eugene are
getting together parties of students to
make the trip for anywhere from $13
to $11). The Souther Pacific railroad
is putting a special car on the Shasta
which passes through Eugene Tuesday
afternoon at 4:30. This car will be
especially for the team. If enough stu

Andy Smith Believes Northern
Squad Will Defeat Oregon
Thanksgiving Day
Several changes will probably be
seen in the Oregon lineup for the
Washington mix at Seattle on Thanks
giving, as several of the subs on the
team have been showing some real
fight in scrimmage lately and bid fair
to tako their places in the lino for the
final game of the season.
Dick Reed and Byler have both been
doing some real work this week, and
both will probably got a chance at the
Huskies at some stage of the game.
Terry Johnson is a better end than he
first appeared and is all set to play
the game of his life against Wash
ington. Ward Johnson, who has been
out of the games for the last two weeks
because of an injured leg, has prac
tically recovered and will bo all ready
to take his place by next Thursday.
The entire team is in fine condition
now, and by the time for the game will
bo in the best shape of the season,
according to Trainer Hayward. Chappy
and Bill Spear luivo practically re
covered from the injuries received in
the O. A. C. mix and can be counted
on for this final affair.
Seats are Reserved
A .section of seats has been reserved
in the Washington Stadium for the
Oregon rooters, and a special rate is
being made by the Southern Pacific
company of $14.75 for the round trip.
It is expected that the team will
have a good sized group of rooters to
accompany them on the jaunt north
ward.
Coach Huntington expects the hard
est game of tho season against the
Huskies, and says tho Varsity will have
to fight harder than in any other con
test of the year if they expect to win.
The teams nro doped by northern fans
to bo about ovon, but Cbach Andy
Smith of California, whose team boat
Washington 45 to 7, predicts that tho
Huskies will wallop Oregon by two
touchdowns, and Andy Smith knows
football.
The Washington team appears to
have a better backfield than Oregon
can produce, but in their games this
season their line has shown no very
great strength, so the Oregon forwards
should open holes in it, as the Oregon
line has outplayed all the teams they
haVo met so far.
Tho Husky punters will probably
gain on Chapman also, as they broke
even with California iu this part of
the game, and Zeil, who does tho boot
ing for tliem, averages around 45
yards, which is some better than Chap
py has boon showing.
Adept in Passing
Washington has gained practically
all her victories this season by a liber
al use of the forward pass, rather a
dangerous mode of attack, but one in

Annual Journalism Jamboree
Scheduled for This Evening
All campus journalists will assemble
this night at the scribes’ well-known
rendezvous, Hayward hall, the men’s
gymnasium. Any body on the cam
pus who has ever had—or ever expects
to have—the remotest connection or
association with the editing, publishing, j
advertising, circulation, or any other j
end of the newspaper, magainze, or J
scandal sheet game, is here and now in
formal manner summoned to appear at
the fall of night, at the aforementioned
place of meeting, and exchange words
,of wisdom and glances of curiosity or
scorn with other persons of the same
class who will be on hand for the oc
casion. In other words, tonight there
is to be a monstrous journalism jam
boree, a jocose jig, yea, indeed, a real
jocund jest-fest and jazz jinx for all
members of the Emerald staff, mem
bers of all classes in school who are
majors in journalism, contributors to
sors who are wont to criticise the
products of the rising journalists or
hurl contumely at the work of their
campus publications, profes
fellows through the medium of the
press, ad chasers, circulation hounds,
and bill collectors, to say nothing of
machinists, operators, and printers’
devils.
The journalists are scheduled for an
ideal evening of sparkling good time
beginning at 8 o’clock. Preparing for
the gathering are the holiday commit
tees of Theta Sigma Phi and Sigma
Delta Chi, the two journalism organi
zations which are taking upon their
shoulders the responsibility for the
merry-making.
To enhance the ludrieousness of the
affair, all those who would make mer
ry are advised to dress in the most
asinine of costumes. This is done each
year and makes for the highest success
of the party, since it is in contrast to
the habitual morosity of the stern editor,
and the serious reporter, as well as the
argumentative and business like ad
solicitor, and the deliberative copy
reader and master. There will be a
