NUMBER 50
PERUVIAN singer
TO APPEAR HERE
THURSDAY MIGHT
Mme. d’Alvarez, Well Known
Contralto Will Sing in
Woman’s Building
STUDENTS ADMITTED FREE
Famous Artist Says English
People Better Dancers
Than Singers
The second opportunity of the uni
versity year for the students of the
University of Oiegon to hear a mem
ber of the stellar groups of the inter
national music world will occur next
Thursday evening when Madame d’Al
varez, famous Peruvian singer, who is
known and loved the world over, for
her beautiful contralto voice will sing
before the Oregon students and resi
dents of Eugene, in the University Wo
man’s building at 8 o’clock. Students
will be admitted upon presentation of
their student body tickets.
“Madame” is a Peruvian by birth
and by breeding. She is extremely
proud of the fact. When she arrived in
Boston, for a recent appearance there,
one of the reporters who had thought
that an advance biographical sketch
of the great singer would be of inter
est to its readers, announced that she
had been born in Liverpool, England,
a statement which brought a sharp re
tort from the artist when it reached
her eyes.
Born in Lima
“The City of Docks!” she exclaim
ed. “Why couldn’t they have made it
some picturesque place in France, Italy
or Spain, if they had to misrepresent
it, but smoky Liverpool, bah! I was
born in Lima, the capital of Peru, and
the city which has the most serious love
of opera, of all those in South Amer
ica. I ain proud of my birthplace and
of my ancestry, for my Great-great
grandmother was the last of the Incas
princesses.”
A Peruvian artist will be something
of a novelty here and the coming of
Mme. d ’Alvarez after triumphs of the
most extraordinary nature in London,
Paris, Milan, Madrid, Boston, Chicago,
and New York, to mention only some
of the more important musical centers
where she has been heard, promises an
event of the first order.
“Why is it that the greatest musical
artists have come from the Latin_ or
Slavic races ” was a question put to
Marguerite d ’Alvarez by an interview
er recently.
English Voices Best
“It is largely a matter of tempera
ment-much more so that than cli
mate,” was the answer of the great con
tralto. “In my opinion in England and
America are to be found the best voices
in the world, and I can speak with au
thority since I have spent several years
of my life in these two countries, and
yet they produce fewer artists than
-the Latin races.”
“How do you account for it?” the
singer was asked.
“It is because the English speaking
peoples are too afraid of expressing
emotion when they sing. English and
American girls are ready to be emotion
al in their dancing—witness the
achievements of Maud Allan, Isadora
Duncan and Ruth St. Denis, but when
it comes to singing they are cold. Nei
ther in their voices nor in their faces
will the English singer express the
depths of emotion without which it is
impossible to stir an audience. Beauty

SUSAN CAMPBELL HALL
AND FIJI WILL DEBATE
Winners in Men’s and Women’s
Series Meet Tonight
As a climax to the do-nut debate sea
son Susan Campbell hall will meet Phi
Gamma Delta fraternity tonight at 7
o ’clock in the Commerce building foT
the inter-men and women’s debate
championship. Each team is the win
ner of the women’s and men’s series
respectively, which were held last Tues
day. The question to be debated, the
same as was argued in the matches last
week, is “Resolved, that the United
States should cancel all allied war debts
with the exception of those of Great
Britain.”
A cup given by Tau Kappa Alpha,
men’s national honorary debate frater
nity, will be presented to the winners
for the coming year. The Phi Gamma
Delta is now in permanent possession
of a debate shield given by the foren
sic council to the-.winners of men’s in
ter-fraternity debates. The Fijis have
tvon the shield three times and so are
permitted to keep it.
Susan Campbell hall will retain pos
session for the next year of the Zeta
Kappa Psi cup offered by the women’s
honorary debate society each year for
the winners of the women’s series. This
cup cannot be won permanently.
The two cups, the one won last week
by Susan Campbell hall and the one
which will be won tonight, and the
debate shield won by the Phi Gamma
Delta will be presented to the winners
at the first meeting of the student body
next term.
In last week’s contests the Fijis
emerged at the top of their group with
seven votes. Their rivals made three
and two counters respectively. Susan
Campbell girls made a total of five
votes in the finals while their competi
tors received four and three points. The
negative team representing Susan
Campbell hall Has not been defeated ei
ther in the semi-finals or in the finals.
Those who will debate tonight are:
Susan Campbell hall affirmative, Mil
dred Whitcomb and Frances Ward, neg
ative, Frances Simpson and Julia Ray
mond. Those representing the Phi Gam
ma Delta teams are: affirmative, Ar
thur Rudd and James King, negative,
Ted Baker and Jack Schumacher.
Judges of the debate will be Carlton
Spencer, Robert Prescott, Walter Mey
ers, Miss Mozelle Hair, Ethel Wakefield
and Julia Burgess.
Do-nut debates this year have been
very successful, says Professor Thorpe,
head of the public speaking depart
ment. More interest was shown this
year by upper-classmen, he says, than
ever before, and much promising ma
terial is being developed for future
varsity teams.
Oregon’s Last Football Fight
Best Ever Says Colonel Leader
By Colonel John Leader
The last game is over. The shouting
and tumult dies, and the cold truth
dawns on one that one is an exile from
Oregon, and never again will roar for
an Oregon team or stand up to “Mighty
Oregon.”
It was the greatest game I ever saw.
Washington came first on the field and
were greeted with a roar of welcome
from 30,000 enthusiastic fans, and well
they deserved it, but before their cheer
ing had finished the Oregon rooters
were on their feet and the defiant yell
for Oregon from the faithful two-hun
dred sounded clear above the thunder
for Washington. A thrilling, driving
foree, that wild defiant cheer, the
gauntlet of a gallant and virile and
fearless race.
Somehow the scone seemed to cloud
over, and the dull November day turn
ed into a glorious July six years back
in Picardy, and the forces of Washing
ton on our front and flanks and rear
assumed a field gray coating, and the
yell for Oregon merged into the roar
of “No surrender” in a different ac
cent, but the same spirit. The Persians
heard that same note 3000 years age
as they reeled back from the crimson
ed slopes of Thermopylae.
I have no intention of describing the
Homeric struggle. Never have two
finer, harder, cleaner young bodies oi
athletes faced one another for the hon
or of their schools on a gridiron, and
in 30 years of fight and play, I never
got more kick from anything than from
Oregon 's last stand on their three yard
line, when Washington had four to go
“When the river of death ran brim t<
its banks
And Oregon's foe, and Honor's—t
name
The Oregon Spirit rallied the ranks
Play up, play up, and play the game.’
When the exhausted 200 rooters col
lapsed into their seats, they knew thej

LEADING STUDENTS
OF PREP SCHOOLS
MEET IN JINUADT
Scribes and Managers of High
School Papers Will Dis
cuss Problems
STUDENT OFFICERS COMING
Convention Will Be Held Under
the Auspices of Oregon
School of Journalism
Editors and managers of accredited
high school papers of the state will
meet in annual conference in the Wo
man’s building on January 19 and 20
under the auspices of the School of
Journalism, assisted by Sigma Delta
Chi, national professional journalism
fraternity for men, and Theta Sigma
Phi, national honorary journalism fra
ternity for women.
At the same time the presidents and
secretaries of high school student bod
ies will meet in the Woman’s building
to discuss problems arising from the
various activities of the schools and to
find ways and m'eans to meet such prpb
lems for the benefit of the students.
Better Publishing Is Object
The high school editors are members
of the Oregon High School Press asso
ciation, which meets once a year to
discuss problems of news-gathering, ed
iting, make-ups, advertising, frequency
of issue, and circulation. They come
here to get suggestions along these lines
and at the same time to discuss for
themselves the better methods of get
ting out their school newspapers and
annuals.
The editors of high school annuals
will discuss their particular problems.
The publishing of high school annuals
presents difficulties, and it is one of
the chief aims of the conference to pro
duce some concrete and valuable ideas
and methods for the high school wri
ters.
It is estimated that approximately
125 young scribes will attend the con
ference, and about an equal number of
presidents and secretaries of high
school student bodies.
Members of the faculty of the School
of Journalism will address the confer
ence, and it is expected that the mem
bers of the Emerald staff will be call
ed upon to relate their actual exper
ience in connection with the campus
newspaper. This year, according to
Dean Eric Allen of the School of Jour
nalism, the visiting editors will take
a conspicuous part in the program.
Informal Luncheon Planned.
The Sigma Delta Chi committee, com
posed of Ken Youel, Ep Hoyt, Phil Bro
gan, and John Anderson, is handling
the entertainment of the visitors. Ac
cording to the members of the commit
tee an informal luncheon is being ar
ranged. On the night of January 20,
the visiting scribes will be guests at
a basketball game between the Univer
sity of Idaho and Oregon.
The extension division will cooperate
with the committee in charge in mak
ing this onference successful.

Informal dances and dinner dances

The annual Thanksgiving ball, given
at the Multnomah hotel in Portland,
was a great success. College people
from all parts of the Northwest ming
led with the students of the Portland
high schools. Dinner-dances were giv
en by several college groups at the
large hotels in Portland.
In spite of the fact that many stu
dents were gone for the week-end, Eu
gene was the scene of many gay par
ties, also. Several houses gave dinnei
dances. Among these were the Phi

OREGON OR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
WILL BE CHOSEN THIS WEEK
FOR PASADENA GAME
Varsity Players Launch Movement to Have
Huntington Signed Up to Coach on
a Three-Year Contract
By Ed Fraser
' Oregon by playing Washington to a
3 to 3 tie at Seattle on Thanksgiving
day tied them for the Northwest title,
and with the determination of Wash
ington not to play at Pasadena the
race for this honor has now narrowed
to Oregon and the University of Sou
thern California. A vote is being taken
by the conference this week by mail,
but unless the vote is very much in
favor of one team the final decision will
be held over for the conference meet
ing at Portland this 'week-end.
Members of the varsity football team
are starting agitation for a three year
contract for Coach Shy Huntington,
and if he will sign such a contract
it should be put through at once, as
Oregon is lucky to have such a coach
to mould her football teams. Bezdek
is the man whom most Oregon men
consider as the best coach we have
ever had, but during the three years
Shy has been in control his record
has been much better than that of Bez
dek, and if Oregon is wise she will
sign him up before some larger school
lures him away with more money.
• • •
The Oregon team which played at
Seattle put out the best exhibition of
real Oregon Fight that has been seen
for years, according to those who saw
the game. Washington once had the
ball on the Varsity three yard line with
four downs to put it over, but here the
Lemon-Yellow braced and held the
heavy Huskies with the most wonder
ful demonstration of football spirit and
fight that has been seen on the field
this year.
“Chappy” Chapman, the star per
former of the Oregon squad this year,
due to his ability to place kick, was
broken hearted with his failure to con
vert more than one of his five attempts
at Seattle. Chappy certainly has pro
cluced this year and has pulled more
than one game out of the fire for Ore
gon by kicking the ball over the goal
when the opportunity offered. His toe
won, both the Idaho and Whitman
games and tied the Husky contest.
Chappy also ranked second to Morrison
of California, as high point man of the
conference this year.
The real success of the Lemou-Yelloiv
this year may be handed to the line
men without a struggle, as the back
field was able to score only two touch
downs during all of their conference
games and both of these were against
Washington State. It has been ap
parent throughout that the Oregon of
fense lacked power, and but for Chap
man’s kicking the Varsity would have
been out of luck. The men certainly
deserve credit for playing as they did,
but the fact remains that they ran
poor interference, and there is not a
single open field runner in the entire
bunch.
• • •
The Thanksgiving game was about as
even a contest as has ever been played,
as the Oregon team ran away from
Washington in the first half, while the
Huskies came back in the second period
and had things all their own way. Ore
gon made a total of 149 yards to 148
for Washington from scrimmage, and
other figures were also nearly equal.
Chappy outpunted the Washington men
and returned punts for more yardage
than they did, but the Huskies made
more on forward passes than Oregon,
thus balancing things up nicely.
• • •
The Oregon squad and coaches all are
anxious to take the Pasadena trip, and
with the spirit they are showing it cer
tainly would take a real team to wallop
them. It would be interesting to see
how the Oregon system of football com
pares with the Bezdek system, since
both are modeled along the same lines.
IAN STEPHEN MILLER
WILE TALK THURSDAY
Student Body Meeting to Be
Held After Address
“Gratitude to the Past” is the subject
chosen bv Dean Stephen I. Miller, Jr.,
of the school of business administra
tion of the University of Washington,
for the address which he will give be
fore the student body assembly Thurs
day morning in the Woman’s building.
Dean Miller who installed the local
chapter of Beta Gamma Sigma, national
honorary commerce fraternity, about
two years ago, is president of the Ki
wanis club of Seattle and is very prom
inent in the civic life of that city. Dur
ing the last mayorality campaign in
Seattle, upon the instigation of his
friends, he filed as a candidate for may
or but was obliged to withdraw because
he is regarded as invaluable at the Uni
versity of Washington, where he heads
the business administration school, the
largest department on the campus.
Coming to Washington about six
years ago from Stanford University,
Dean Miller succeeded Carlton Parker,
well known economist who died as the
result of exertion in war work.
“Dean Miller is a capable public
speaker,” says Karl Onthank, secretary
to the president, “and is much in de
mand as an orator.” He is a frequent
speaker before business and civic or
ganizations and has appeared before
every leading business organization in
Spokane, Tacoma, and other Washing
ton cities. Dean Miller is also the edi
tor of a book which will be published
during the winter, entitled “Economic
Resources of he Northwest,” and has
contributed to business magazines.
The remainder of the hour of the as
sembly will be taken up with a student
body meeting. The greater Oregon com
mittee will make a report and the pro
posed amendment to make the yell lead
er a member of the student council will
be read. The amendment must then
lay on the table for a week before it
can be put to the vote of the student
body.

FRESHMEN GLASS WILL
26 Members of Frosh Squad
Eligible for Honor
Although the freshman football sea
son was brought to a close over a month
ago the yearling gridders are still
awaiting the class numerals which are
usually awarded for participation in the
gridiron sport. No official action with
regard to obtaining these emblems for
the football men has yet been taken
by the class of 1926 but Eugene Rich
mond, president of this year’s babes,
has called a meeting for Thursday at
which the question of class numerals
will be voted upon.
Though the matter of purchasing and
awarding numerals depends each year
upon the sentiment of the class, it is
not likely that the present freshmen
horde will take a wide departure from
established custom of previous years
and refuse to vote to defray money
for this purpose. There has, however,
been some agitation among the first
year students toward inaugurating the
custom this year of awarding a sweater
with the class numerals. But, accord
ing to Richmond, the present low status
of the class finances will make it im
possible for the yearlings to bear the
burden of the large appropriation which
the buying of sweaters would make
necessary. Hence, he says, it is very
unlikely that the"1926 gridsters will
receive more than their class numerals.
The requirements for the winning of
a freshman numeral in football are that
the player participate in either of the
games with the University of Washing
ton frosh or the O. A.' C. rooks. This
year 26 members of the frosh squad are
eligible for the emblem. They are
Gosser, Hunt, Bliss, Warren, A1 Sin
clair, Capt. Mautz, Carlburg, Pearson,
McMullen, Bass, Scriptures, Mays, Mos
ier, linemen; and Anderson, Mills, Poul
son, Purvine, Brosterhouse, Stoddard,
Navet, Aiken, Peak, Bitner, Hobson,
Toole, and Shrieve, backs.
These men will be formally awarded
; their numerals at the first student body
I meeting of the winter term, the same
' meeting at which the varsity football
| letters will be given out.
RED CROSS SUCCESSFUL
! As a result of the Red Cross drive
; $400 has been received to date, with
I contributions still coming in. It has
■ been a very successful drive, accord
ing to the committee in charge, and they
are more than pleased with the way in
which the students have volunteered
their services. There are several houses
that have not yet turned in their re
ceipts and it is desired that these do
so at once that the final results of the
campaign can be ascertained.
