HAYWARD SHAPES
FULL TRACK PLANS
Big Interclass Meet Scheduled
November 17 In All Events
When Coach Will Pick Men
GRADUATION THINS RANKS
Varsity Will Be Built Around
Captain Spearow; Credit In
Gym May Be Obtained
While Shy is out in our athletic
back yard grinding the green gridders
into shape, Bill Hayward, Oregon’s
Grand Old Man, is making prepara
tions for a full track season that will
give him a crew of semi-veterans to
work with next spring. The fall
workouts will be for the benefit of
both freshmen and varsity aspirants
and every man who expects to grace
the cinder path next spring is ex
pected to show up at Hayward field
for fall practice unless he is engaged
in some other line of athletics.
Bill promises that there will be a
big track meet on November 17, which
will be on the order of an interclass
meet. This meet will take in all of
the regular events and will be in the
nature of a trial as it will give Hay
ward a chance to determine the worth
of the many candidates which are ex
pected to turn out.
Larson and Oberteuffer Leave
Graduation cut a wide swath through
Oregon’s track team of last year, tak
ing Larson and Oberteuffer from the
sprints and Koepp and Peltier from
the distances. Captain Ralph Spear
row, Oregon’s main point grabber for
the past two years, will be on hand
for his last year of collegiate com
petition and around him Hayward will
build his team from last year’s letter
men second string men and fresh
men.
It must be understood that this
fall track work is not the usual fall
cross country work but includes all
of the events. The cross country
training will go on in addition to the
fall track work and will culminate
as in other years in the cross coun
try meet with O. A. C. which takes
place just before the big game with
the Beavers at homecoming.
Equipment To Be Furnished
For the benefit of the freshmen it
must be stated that the fall track
will take the place* of the regular
gymnasium work and the men will re
ceive credit for it as such. It might
prove encouraging to the first year
men to know that those who turn out
will have their equipment furnished
to them.
This is the first year that the fall
track practice has been used on an ex
tensive scale and it is hoped by those
in charge that it will result in a well
conditioned and partially brained
group of men with which to start
the intensive training next spring.

Movies Cast
Campus Girl
Isabelle Stewart, ex ’25, is representing
Oregon at the Bervilla studio in Holly
wood, California. Everyone was sur
prised to hear that ‘ ‘ Isabelle had gone
into the movies,” but were probably not
as surprised as Isabelle herself, when she
realized that she was on the road to
fame. Due to her mother’s ill health,
it was necessary for her to leave school
and accompany her to a warmer climate,
and while in California, not willing to
remain idle, she went the rounds of the
studios in search of work, with the result
that she has been employed ever since.
Her work does not sound uninteresting
as she says in one of her letters, ‘1 Last
week I was cast to be one of the guests
at a swimming party. A wonderful pool
was rented, an open pool on the top of
a hill that was shaded by eucalyptus
trees, with glimpses of blue hills in the
distance. All we did was swim the en
tire day, and I did that without a strug
gle. While working on this picture, I
became acquainted with Norman Kerry,
which acquaintance I cherish as he is the
first real reel star that I have met.
GLEE CLUfflLO
MEN'S TRYOUTS TODAY
More Vacancies To Be Filled
This Year Than Usual
Men’s glee club try-outs will start
today at four o ’clock, and last sev
eral days until all places are filled,
according to John Stark Evans, asso
ciate dean of the school of music.
More places are vacant this year than
there have been for the past three
years, offering opportunity for from
12 to 14 men to become members of
the glee club.
Fortunately some of Oregon’s best
voices have returned. “Hoc” Furrey,
basso, and Boy Bryson, tenor, will
again hold their places, as well as
Bob McKnight, Bussell Brown, and
others. Bonald Beid, a graduate of
last year, and for two years a promi
nent soloist, will be assistant direc
tor of the men’s glee club this year,
also keeping his place in the club.
The glee club this year offers an
unusual opportunity for new students
who are interested in this sort of ac
tivity, as many places will have to
be filled. They will be interested to
know that instead of trying out in
the presence of old and new members
of the glee club, as formerly, the
try-outs will be held with only a
selected committee as audience.
Students who are unable to report
today will have an opportunity to try
out within the next few days. Try
outs for the women’s glee club will be
held next week. Practically as many
places are vacant in the women’s
glee club as in the men’s, and sev
eral important positions are to be
filled. All rules applying to try-outs
for the men’s glee club will be fol
lowed in selecting new members for
the women’s glee club.
ANNUAL MIX SCHEDULED
Jack High In Charge of Underclass
Event On October 13
The annual underclass mix will be
held Saturday morning, October 13,
according to an agreement reached
between the presidents of the senior,
junior, and sophomore classes Monday.
The program will be worked out by
the junior class under a committee
headed by Jack High. Senior cops
will be on the field to see that order
is preserved and that the freshmen
get a “square deal.”
USE OF PADDLE INSTILLS
SPIRIT INTO YOUNGSTERS
Well it’s all over now and we can
say that Dean Straub’s biggest and
best have been innopulated with a
generous potion of Oregon spirit and
can be numbered among us. Under
the guidance of those haughty deer
slayers with the red fedoras the young
sters made intimate acquaintance with
the Eugene landscape and did their
stuff nobly for the edification of the
student body and the townspeople.
Of course it was natural that they be
persuaded into performing 1 some of
their trick acts by mild use of the
paddle. We say mild, for indeed it
was mild, as we have a hunch that
some of the freshlets ate dinner off
the mantle last night.
From the brow of the butte the
class of ’26 showed the prodigies the
wondrous view to be obtained there
on a cold November night about home
coming time, and then someone was
stupid enough to look down and see
a big concrete Or badly in need of a
coat of paint. Then someone with a
scarlet hat said, “Let’s fool 'em
and paint it yellow.” The little fel
lows said, “Alright,” and the paint
was on, the freshmen as well as the
O and even the paddles were laid on
—the freshmen not the O.
Then someone suggested that they
all run down to the depot and see the
fish in the fountain and they all ran
down and the only fish they found
were some of the unfortunate youths
who just couldn’t help being pushed
into the fountain. Oh, those red hats
sure were nice to them and saved
them from drowning. Nice boys,
those red hats.
Someone mentioned serpent with
j “tine” on the end and the newcom
j ers said, “Let’s play that. Is it
fun?” The red hats said, “Sure, for
us,” and the serpentine was on and
so were the paddles. Quite dizzy
from winding around and unwinding,
the freshlets heaved up in front of

the lot adjacent to the millrace was
retained for a residence to be built
some time this year.
The Dela Tau Delta house was re
modeled during the summer, and the
living capacity increased by one-half.
Thaeher cottage was also repaired and
painted, and several modern conven
iences have been added.
Alpha Beta Chi fraternity has moved
to the house occupied last year by
Kappa Delta Phi( and the latter or
ganization has moved into the former
Alpha Bea Chi home. Next year Phi.
Sigma Pi will take possession of the
Phi Gamma Delta house, which they
purchased last year.
Delta Omega Leases Property
The Delta Omega sorority, or
ganized this year, has leased the
building whieh has been occupied
by Pi Beta Phi. Sigma Beta Phi, new
sorority, is housed at Mill street and
13th avenue east, and Kappa Omicron
has taken a three year lease on a
residence at Potter street and 20th
avenue east.
The new Pi Beta Phi house, which
has just been completed, is a three
story, brick-veneered edifice, and is
one of the largest student resident
houses on the campus. The Beta Theta
Pi house, which will soon be finished,
is also of brick veneer, and contains
three stories.
To assist student groups in organi
zation and in obtaining homes, Dean
Walker, formerly of the Wetherbee

GIRLS TO RIDE HORSEBACK
New Sport Will Be Introduced During
Fall; Meeting Friday
Horseback riding for women is one
of the new fall sports which will be
introduced to the university. This
sport may be taken instead of regu
lar gymnasium, and it is hoped by the

a large number of girls will turn out
for it.
Mr. Abe Bangs will talk to every
one interested in riding Friday, Oc
tober 5, in room 121 of the Women’s
building at five o’clock.
The tentative fee is five dollars a
month or fifteen dollars a term.

Education department says that horse
back riding is one of the best and most
interesting sports offered, and she
hopes that a large number of women
will realize this and attend the
meeting Friday.
TWO MEN STUDENTS DIE
John Gavin and Edward Carleton Both
Pass During Summer
After an illness of nearly nine
months, John Gavin, Btudent in the
school of law, died at his home in The
Dalles, Oregon, on September 17. He
was taken ill last Christmas with
bronchial pneumonia and was unable
to return to college”. While on the
campus Gavin was prominent in stu
dent activities. He was a member
of Phi Delta Theta, Phi Delta Phi,
To-ko-lo, Phi Mu Alpha and the men’s
glee club.
Edward Carleton, a sophomore in
the school of journalism and a mem
ber of the Emerald staff last year,
died on the train on his way to Spo
kane on September 17. Carleton was
taken ill at his home in Libby, Mon
tana, and was en route to Spokane to
see a physician when he succumbed,
after an illness of several days. Spinal
meningitis is thought to be the cauge
of his death.
Girl Scribe
Writes News
Correspondents for the Portland
papers this year include one woman, the
first in several years to do this work.
Nancy Wilson, a senior in the school of
journalism, is writing for the Portland
Telegram.
Miss Wilson while at the University
has dono much work on the Emerald.
I.ast year she served as a daily news
editor and did feature and special arti
cle writing on the Sunday and daily Em
erald. She is a member of Theta Sigma
Phi, national honorary journalism fra
ternity for women.
John Piper is to continue his work on
the Oregonian, handling straight news
this year with Monte Byers to take care
of the sport news. Piper was managing
editor of the Madras Pioneer this sum
mer. He was also a daily news editor
on the Emerald last year and is this
year associate editor. Byers has been
writing features and sports for the Em
erald for some time. Ted Janes will
handle the correspondence for the Ore
gon Journal.
Other correspondents include George
H. Godfrey who will handle news for
the Register, and Ben Maxwell who is
serving as University correspondent for
the other papers in the state. Maxwell
was also a daily news editor on the Em
erald last year.
DOUGHNUT BASKETBALL
STARTS SPORT SEASON
Organizations Will Compete
for Plaque and Cup
Doughtnut basketball, the first of
the series of inter-mural sports to be
run off this year under the direction
of Hank Poster, will start a week from
next Monday. The schedule is to be
so arranged that the games will all
easily be finishod up by the end of
the term.
A meeting of representatives of all
the organizations on the campus is to
be held tonight at 7:15 in the men’s
gymnasium. The doughnut program
for the year will be arranged, and
the drawing of the teams for the
separate basketball leagues will take
place. It is important that a repre
sentative from each house attend this
meeting, but if any organization is
not represented some other man will
draw for their place as the meeting
will definitely arrange the schedule
whether all representatives are pres
ent or not.
The plan in question at present for
doughnut basketball is that of form
ing four leagues, with four teams in
each league; these teams will then
play a round-robin series for the
championship of each league.
The four teams which win the
championship of their respective
leagues will then tangle in a round
robin series for the championship of
the school. The large cup will be pre
sented by the Spalding company. The
Kappa Sigs by winning last year for
the third successive time retain the
right to keep the Wright and Ditson
trophy permanently, while the Spalding
cup is a revolving trophy.
The large inter-mural trophy which
goes to the house piling up the best
average for the nine inter-mural
sports of the year was taken last
year by the Sigma Chis, while the
Kappa Sigs held it the first year.
The standing of tho teams in the
basketball league will have a great
deal to do with the winning of the
plaque. For that reason Hank Fos
ter urges all teams to turn out the
best inter-mural teams possible and
make the series as interesting aa usual.
VARSITY TRAINING
HARD FOR PACIFIC
Dark Outlook At Start of Fall
Practice Clears; Prospects
for Fighting Eleven Assured
SQUAD PRACTICE IS SNAPPY
Spring Workout Proves Value
In Eliminating Usual Drill
Leading the Season’s Grind
Tho Willamette game history, Shy
is driving his men hard to whip them
into shape for tho coming tilt with
the Pacific Badgers a week from
Saturday. The Bearcats did not run
true to the advance dope, as they
were reputed to have a strong aggre
gation and were expected to give the
varsity a tough run for the long
end of the score.
Tho coaches and players are not
taking the 40-0 score as an indication
of future success, but are out to per
fect the mistakes made in the Salem
contest. True, there were flaws, al
though they were not costly, and the
mentors are working hard to iron them
out before the regular conference
games start.
Shy has seen stellar men come and
go, but he has never seen a more will
ing squad of men go through their
paces than that which is reporting
nightly on Hayward Field. The men
realize that a stiff schedule is ahead
and are putting all they have into the
practice sessions. Most of the men are
green to conference competition, but
they show much promise of develop
ing.
Early uuuook uioomy
The outlook at the start of the fall
practice was exceedingly gloomy.
Huntington and Spellman were con
fronted by the three bugbears of
coaches—graduation, ineligibility and
failure to return to college. With this
handicap to start they have taken a
green bunch and a few veterans and
have started a team that shows great
promise. A championship squad is out
of the question at the present time,
but it is assured that Oregon will have
an eleven that will fight to the last
ditch.
The spring practice proved a valu
able thing for the varsity. The team
did not have to go through all the
preliminary drill before settling down
to the season’s grind. Shy was able
tc get a line on all the men he ex
pected back last spring.
Only five lettermen have returned
to college whereas the coaching staff
expected to have at least two or
three more. This has left them but
a scant frame to build to, but the new
material looks stable despite the loss
of good timber.
With the exception of Vonder Aho,
Beed and McKeown the line that
starts the conference schedule will be
new to that brand of competition.
Guard Berths Well Filled
In Mills, Bailey, Akers, Zachery
and Shields, Spellman has a good quin
tet of guards. The men are all built
to fit a guard position and are fast
absorbing the finer points of the
game. The tackles will no doubt be
taken care of by the veterans, Beed
and Vonder Ahe. Beed is going bet
ter than ever and Vonder Ahe is
playing his old driving game. Good
ing, Wjswall, Bliss, Carlberg and
Sinclair are well able to go in in case
they are needed. Bliss is smaller than
the others, but he is full of scrap. Mc
Keown can fit in anywhere from
tackle to tackle and should prove

Y. W. SECRETARY PLEASED
WITH UNIVERSITY SPIRIT
“I think you have a wonderful in
stitution, and I certainly like the
spirit of cordiality and good will which
is so in evidence on your campus.”
Such was the greeting of Florence
Magowan, who comes to the Univers
ity this year from Iowa City, Iowa,
to be secretary of the campus Y. W.
C. A. She succeeds Dorothy Collier
who is now travelling in Europe.
“Our biggest job this year is the
campus work,” said Miss Magowan,
when discussing the plans for tht
new year. “We want all the girls to
feel that our work really concerns
them and we want them to know
that we want to work with them, and
have the policies of the association
! come from the membership as a
whole.” In speaking of the employ
| mant department of the Y. W. C. A.
1 which is this year under the super
vision of Lois Easterbrooks, Miss
Magowan said that already the asso
ciation had been able to find work
1 for more than 40 girls.
The Girl’s Reserve corps, which was
a new department of work introduced
into the association last year is go
ing to be taken up more thoroughly
this year, according to Miss Magowanf
and already plans are feeing formu
lated for the organization of the
corps for the new year.
Miss Magowan is a graduate of the
University of Iowa. Previous to her
coming to Oregon, she was student
secretary of the Y. W. C. A. at the
Iowa State Teachers college. She also
taught three years in the Iowa high
school. She is a member of Phi Beta
Kappa, scholarship society, and of
Delta Gamma sorority.
Dorothy Collier who was last year
secretary of the campus Y. W. C. A.,
has been touring Europe with a party
of other social workers. She has been
in Switzerland, Italy, Scotland, and
England; the latter country being the
place from which she was last heard
by Miss Easterbrooks.
