Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1923 NUMBER 23 Y.M.C.A, PLEDGES PUSS 1822 TOTAL Drive Among Men’s Houses is Closing Soon. Oregon Club Canvass to be Completed FINAL REPORT NOT YET IN Karpenstein Commends Work of Committee Men Done During Financial Campaign A financially successful year in Y. M. C. A. work looks very promising as the financial campaign draws to a close, according to Henry Karpenstein, presi dent of the organization. While no figures are as yet available, indica tions are that the amount raised will be far in advance of that pledged last year. All the houses have been visited by the flying squadron but not all or ganizations have turned in their ag gregate pledge. Members of the squad ron merely gave talks relating to the work of the Y. M. C. A., so the actual canvassing and collecting of the pledges is done by some member of each of the houses respectively. Some of these houses have not handed in their re ports, due, in part, to the inability of the canvasser to make a complete re port on account of the temporary ab sence of some of its members. Results Satisfactory “The campaign is measuring up quite favorably to our expectations, though more time is being consumed than we had anticipated,” said Karp enstein yesterday afternoon. “We are not hurrying the drive to completion too soon, we are trying to reach every man and give him an opportunity to contribute toward the financial sup port of the “Y” and to become person ally interested in its welfare.” Karpenstein and other members of the cabinet believe that with little or no financial worry, and with means to do things, the Y. M. C. A. will be able to increase its efficiency at least two-fold over former years. With a growing school this can be done, they say, only by a larger percentage of the school taking an interest in associa tion work. They are of the opinion that the success of the financial drivei is an indication that the student body is back of the organization, and are planning for a big year in religion, social service, employment, and other forms of hut activities. Final Report Tuesday “I have some loyal workers helping canvass the Oregon club, and with a few more days will be able to turn in. a complete report, which will be a good one, if the men yet to be seen respond j as generously as those already can- ( vassed,” said Elam Amstutz, who is in charge of the drive among members of the Oregon club. A final report of the campaign ought to be ready for Tuesday’s Emerald, ac cording to Karpenstein, who urges all who can to assist in bringing to a close this part of the Y. M. C. A. pro-j LUNCHEON TAX DUE FRIDAY Plan Used Last Year to be Followed In Collecting From Students The regular tax of 50 cents for each student of the University to pay for the campus luncheon must be in by the end of next week, the campus luncheon committee decided at a meeting yester day. This year like last, the money from fraternities and sororities will be handled through the house managers. For the students who live outside of organizations there will be a committee appointed to canvass them personally. The money from organizations must be in by next Thursday, says Georgia Ben son, chairman of the committee. Friday night will be the limit for the stu dents who live out in town. Due to the building of handball courts in the outside portion of the men’s gymnasium, where part of the luncheon was held last year, no place has been definitely decided upon as yet for this year. Laverna Spitzenberger will have charge of preparing the food for the luncheon, Marjorie Hazard of serving and Henry M&ier of clean-up. STUDENT BODY TICKETS NEEDED AC TODAY’S CAME f‘I absolutely am not going to let any students in to the game without student body tickets,” was the inform ation given out last night by graduate manager Jack BenefieL According to arrangments the east bleachers are to be used as the rooter’s section today and the management again wishes to remind students that it is not the thing to leave the stands early. Today Mighty Oregon will be sung before anyone leaves. Stivers NOISY CROWD FROLICS AT ANNUAL Y.M.-Y.W. MIX Vanities of Women Portrayed in “Powder Puff” Dance Oskowies, followed by mastication of peanuts, doughnuts, and demi tasse, food for thought, unselfishly blaring forth from the seething columns of the yearly bawl out, vaudeville, modestly enacted by the brain power of the cam pus, dizzy notes, the thundering thous and reveling at the college kids’ frolic, featured the annual Y. M. C. A. mix at the armory last night. After the throat splitting contest, conducted by Jack Myers and his as sistants, the audience settled down to witness the vanities of women portrayed in a clever “Powder Puff Dance,” featuring Camille Burton. “Funny Faces of Funny People,” by the chalk artist, Frank Short, almost hit home in several cases which the spectators mar velled at. From old Argentina came the “Tango With a Bango,” nicely executed by Joy Johnson and Katherine Jane Seel. Wenona and Kate were up to their usu al standard of first class vaudeville al though they handed out a new line of limericks in superb ventriloquistic style. The sigh of sighs passed over the crowd as “The Zippy Zix,” turned up and much shuffling of feet was discerned, but that was all left to Lyle Palmer, “The Shuffle Foot Kid,” and the audience resigned in favor of him. As usual the “Dark Horse With the Base Voice,” came on last, and brought forth the Ohs and Ahs and many wild ejaculations from his listeners. Then began the consumption of food and a more thorough digestion of “The Yellow Fang,” published by the ne ophytes of Sigma Delta Chi. Pep and noise predominated throughout the evening and the mix was proclaimed the best of any senior’s college career.

MOBTAB BOABD ELECTS Virginia Judy Esterly IDAHO AND OREGON READY FOR BATTLE MOSCOW ROOTERS AIM CRY AT JINX Light Team Claimed to Retain as Telling Punch at Final Moments as at Beginning LINE CHARGING BRILLIANT By Louis A. Boas (Sporting Editor, Idaho Argonaut) University of Idaho, Oet. 26.— (Special to the Emerald). The Idaho football team which will face Oregon Saturday afternoon will be practically the same as that which ripped a 14 to 0 victory from the Wash ington State Cougar’s grip last week, the first Silver and Gold win over the traditional rivals of Idaho in ten years. Idaho students have, after that epoch making game, raised the cry to “break the Oregon jinx,” which Moscow root ers feel has always taken a hand in football clashes between the two in stitutions. Doubt was freely expressed before the W. S. C. clash as to whether or not the Idaho team would be able to stand up before the onslaughts of a heavier team and still retain its vigor and stamina, but these doubts were quickly allayed in the opening conference clash, and Oregon fans can expect to see a team in action against their own which will be able to deliver as telling a punch in the final moments of play as during the first quarter. new jfiays Expected So far this year nothing outside the realm of straight football has been in dulged in by Idaho, but local dopesters look for Coach Bob Mathews to un cover some of the plays against Ore gon upon which he has been drilling his team for the past three weeks, and which the presence of numerous scouts kept him from using against Washing ton State last Friday. Idaho’s team is best characterized this year by the term "light and fast”; the weight average being but 168 pounds. The line, however, has al ready gained considerable fame by its brilliant manner of charging, both at defense and with the ball in Vandal possession. It was largely because of this unified onslaught that Idaho has been able to break up the brilliant forays directed against it. With one exception the Idaho team will be in the pink of condition when it takes the field Saturday, that ex ception being Syb Kleffner, who is suffering from general bruises, and whom Mathews could use nicely either at end or as running mate to the spectacular Fitzke at halfback. Vesser at Fullback It appears probable now that Math ews may use Vesser at fullback again in the Oregon game, reserving Kinnison for the hard grind on the road which the Vandals will break into after leav ing Eugene. Vesser played last week as an end. He is a heavy man, excellent on sec ondary defense, and one of the most dependable players on the Gem State squad. Fitzke, who performs at right half, needs little press-agenting. Weighing around 187 pounds, he is able to hit the line with damaging ef fect, and his punting and field kicking spot him as the most dangerous man under an Idaho helmet. His punts in the W. 8. C. clash averaged 48 yards, including two which were gotten off poorly for disheartening distances. Should Idaho be hard pressed by the Lemon-Yellow, “Bob” would be a safe bet via the drop kick route from any where up to 45 or 50 yards. Stivers to Call Signals Skip Stivers will call signals for Idaho as usual and may give Oregon fans a sample of his open field running which proved so effective laBt year and I which has so far this season been kept ;overed up in Idaho’s bag of tricks. Davis, a stockily built, fast and -lever back will play the other half back position. On the line, Mathews will use Nelson for one end, and either Vesser or Hueffner at the other, with Quinn and Hausen at tackle, Tapper and Bucklin at guard, and Kline at center. Kline is a dangerous man at pivot position, possessing an uncanny ability to muss up smash attacks. Hausen, plays a determined game, while Quinn is being heralded as one of the best tackles Idaho has ever had. Buck lin and Tapper are both dependable pluggers, playing their first season as regulars on the Vandal lineup. Fast Combination of Oregon Backs Slated to Start in Crucial Game at 2 30 Today Sax Chapman Latham Terjeson Frosh Smash Through Line of Heavy Columbia Team for 7-0 Victory By Ken Cooper The frosh slapped Old Man Dope square in the face and splattered his dope bucket all over Hayward field yesterday afternoon when they turned in a 7 to 0 win over Clipper Smith’s Columbia aggregation. The freshman outcharged, outpassed, and outfought the team that was held to have the big edge. The statistics of the game show that Columbia was not once in possession of the ball on the freshman side of the 50 yard mark. The youngsters performed like vete rans in their first battle of the year and too much credit cannot be given to the coaching staff, that has rounded out a team into mid-season form, with out any practice games. The only score of the game was made in the third quarter when Jones punched left tackle for a touchdown, after Harrison had placed the ball on the three yard line with a eight yard off tackle smash. Harrison converted goal via the place kick route. Periodically through the game, the Irishmen opened up with a dazzling aerial attack but were never to push the ball past mid-field in spite of the fact that they completed eight passes out of 17 attempts. The babes were not without a passing attack, however, as they completed five out of eight and completed them at a time when yardage was needed. The main of fensive strength of the freshmen lay in the line punching ability of Jones and Agee. Time after time Jones, the frosh fullback, drilled the Columbia line for substantial gains and Agee ripped off plenty of yardage through tackle. Kjelland opened the game by kick ing off 30 yards to Hicks who re turned seven and as Columbia was un able to punch the frosh defense for yardage, Johnson punted 35 yards to Mimnaugh who returned 15. Mimnaugh punted back on the next play and again Columbia failed to pierce the frosh line. On the attempted punt the frosh forwards broke through and blocked the kick and “Tiny” Johnson, frosh (Continued on page three) WOMEN DEBATERS WILL BEGIN VARSITY WORK Triangular Contest Arranged for Winter Quarter Varsity work for the women debaters will start with the coming week. All women who participated in the work last year, or others who are interested and who can fulfill the requirement of a term’s residence at ths University, are urged by forensic heads t® turn out for duty on the debate squads. The first contest will be a triangular debate with Oregon Agricultural col lege and Willamette university. It is scheduled for the latter part of Febru ary or the first of March. The ques tion chosen is the same as will be used in the campus do-nut debates, “Be solved that Oregon should have a sev erance tax on timber.” Those women who were members of the varsity squads last year and who re turned to the campus this year are, Eu genia Strickland, Frances Simpson, Margaret Deurner, Edna Largent, Margaret Woodson, Mildred Bateman, and Lurline Coulter. Those who plan to begin the practice work this week, are asked to see H. A. Bosson, debate coach, at his office on the second floor of the sociology building. A tentative program for the Pa cific coast forensic league which meets here the sixteenth of November, has been announced by Elam Amstutz, forensic manager. Sessions open at 2:30 Friday afternoon, November 16. A short business conference will be held the following morning, and a banquet will be served all representatives to the league, at the Woman’s building i at 6 o’clock that evening. The conference delegates will con ! sist of forensic coaches, managers and special representatives from the various coast colleges. The institutions which are members of the league are, Uni versity of Southern California, Uni versity of California, Stanford, Uni versity of Oregon, Oregon Agricultural college, Beed college, Willamette uni (Continued on page four.) RARE LEGAL DOCUMENTS DONATED BY THORNTON Former Dean Gives Valuable Prints to Law School Richard H. Thornton, former dean of the University law school, has sent to the school several rare old English legal documents. They bear the dates of 1674, 1698, 1733, and 1749, and are hand printed on parchment and vellum, which, though showing the earmarks of age, is as strong and pliable as though it were new. The documents are bills of convey ance of property, and are signed, sealed, and stamped very much as modern ones, except that the seals seem to have been made by impressing a ring in the hot red wax. All mem bers of a family have the same seal. Many parties to the bills apparently were unable to write, and they have affixed their marks beside the seal. Duplicate copies of the manuscript were made by printing two copies of the bill on a single sheet of the parch ment or vellum, and then cutting the two copies apart in an irregular manner. Thus a sort of scallop was made, and at any time the duplicity of the bills could be verified by fitting the scallops together. Because of these irregular borders, the bills were called “indentures,” a term which has been handed down and become a part of present day legal vernacular. One of the manuscripts is printed in Latin, but the others are in English. On translation they are found to be quite similar to legal papers of our own time, except perhaps that nowa days there is somewhat less redundancy in phraseology. The letters are per fectly formed, and are Old English in style. The ink is apparently as clear and bright as it was two or three hundred years ago. Dean Hale of th# law school plans to have the curios framed and hung in the law library, where, as he ex pressed it, “they may serve as a re minder of the trials and tribulations of the members of the legal profession hundreds of years ago.” GRID FIGHT CULLED SEASON'S BIGGEST Future Position in Conference Race is Incentive for Each Eleven to Battle its Best OREGON COACHES SILENT By Monte Byers A certain amount of conference grid iron history is to be written this, after noon out on Hayward field when the Oregon varsity and the Idaho Vandals face each other in the important g^ame of the season for both institutions. Future position in the conference race is the incentive for each eleven to put all it has into the struggle. From a percentage standpoint the teams are even up with three wins and no defeats, but this means nothing in the brawl this afternoon. Both squads have had different opponents and fig ures count ior not* ing. The invaders may have a slight advantage in weight, but a few pounds will make little difference in the outcome of the struggle. Coach Mathews and 21 Vandal pig skin artists arrived in Eugene yester day. All the men reported in the best condition, ready for the battle of their lives, and with the hope of breaking the long existing string of Oregon victories and tie games. The Oregon coaches were retie Bart ent in commenting on the game. They, as well as the team, know that the game is the hard est of the season and will have to put all they have into those 60 minutes of play. Injuries have put a slight crimp in the varsity lineup. Kirtley, one of Shy’s strong reserve backs, is out and Mills will also be on the sidelines. Oregon Line Unsettled The regular backs will open for the Webfooters with Chapman at quarter, Latham, full and Sax and Terjeaon halves. The personnel of the line will not be definitely known until the skull talk before the game starts. Spellman will pick his guards from Bailey, Bliss Shields, Akers and Wiswall. The call for center lies between Wilson and Sinclair, with either man having an ex cellent chanco of getting in. Tho tackles will in all probability be taken care of by Vonder Ahe and Reed, veterans. Campbell and Gooding may be shunted into the lineup if need ed and Bliss may also get a try in the position. Risley, Mautz and Wil liamson will do end duty, with Mautz and Williamson being the possible starters. The Idaho lineup looks like Hueffner and Nelson, ends, Hausen and Quinn tackles, Tappen and Bucklin, guards, Kline or Goff, center. The starting backfield will probably be Stivers, quarter, Fitzke and Davis, halves, and Kinnison or Disney, fullback. Idaho has a strong list of reserves and a last min ute change may be made in the line up. While there are a number of veterans of other years on the Vandal team, Fitzke looms as the king pin of the Gem state offense and his playing will be watched with interest. Good Kicking Expected If Latham’s kicking is up to stand ard, the fans will be treated to a booting contest between the long Ore gon full and Fitzke of the invaders. Fitzke has been booting them for long er distances than Latham, but the lat ter improves as the season goes on. If Oregon is in position to score from the field Chapman will be called on to toe them over. Both teams have fast slashing backs and the linemen will be kept busy. Weather conditions point to a fast field and that may mean some snappy open filed work will be seen.
