WEDDING IS SURPRISE Esther Booth and Melville Jones Marry at Albany Parsonage Among the unexpected events of Wednesday was the marriage of Miss Esther Booth, daughter of Dr. J. C. Booth of Lebanon, to Mr. Melville Jones, son of Mr. and Mrs. Seymour Jones of Salem. The wedding took place in Albany, at high noon, at the parsonage of the Albany Methodist church. Only the immediate families of the bride and groom were present. Miss Booth is a member of Chi Omega fraternity, and a senior on the campus. Mr. Jones attended the Uni versity law school, and is a member of Delta Tau Delta and Phi Delta Phi. The couple will be at home after No vember 5j at the Osburn apartments. Rooters Display Lack of Spirit for Impromptu Rally Last night the Oregon spirit was supposed to run wild, but the spirit of Hallowe ’en seemed to have full sway. Credit must be given the loyal little band which gathered in Yillard and listened to the coaches and some of the team. Two hundred—out of more than 2000. Not so good, when a team is going to journey several hundred miles to battle one of the hardest foes of the season. True, the rally had not been planned ahead, but it was one of those rallies where you drop the books, grap the coat and hat and dash out for the serpentine up the street, through all the houses and gather everybody up. What would we say if the coaches and the team laid down that way in the game Saturday? We’d feel rather down on them, wouldn’t wet Well! What do you think they said to themselves when they looked out over the crowd of vacant space? SEABECK CONFERENCE TO BE SUBJECT AT Y. W. Meeting This Afternoon Open to All Campus Women To present the Seabeck conference in song to the University women, is the purpose of the Y. W. C. A. meeting which is scheduled to be held at 5 o'clock this afternoon in the Bungalow. The songs will be given to tell what the Oregon delegation learned at the con* ference of Y. W. C. A. women held at Seabeck, Washington, last June. One of the features of this after noon’s meeting will bg the presentation of the silver cup won by the University representatives at the conference, for the best original song sent in by the dele gations attending the conference. This is the second year that the Oregon wo men have won the trophy. Between songs there will be a nnmber of talks given by Mary Clerin, Katherine Watson, Helen Andrews, Mary Bartholo mew and Florence Buck. Seabeck conference is a meeting held every year at Seabeck, Washington and is under the supervision of various Y. -W. C. A. associations of the northwest.

Michelson, Oregon alumnus of the class of '23, died Thursday eve ning at Lebanon, his home town, fol lowing an illness of over a year. Michelson was forced to withdraw from school the latter part of the fall term last year on account of sickness, and during the winter underwent two op erations. While in the University, Michelson majored in law and was a member of Phi Delta Phi national honarary law fraternity, and of Chi Psi. “Green Goddess" First Night Impresses Critic Favorably By Leon Byrne “The Green Goddess,” showing for the first time last night opened the Winter season of the Guild hall. Press agents heralded the play as a stirring melodrama, and stirring it is. In the performance of last evening, the action, slow at first, rose steadily in intensity throughout the second and third acts, reaching a climax where the Bajah an nounces his intention of pursuing the doctrine of an eye for an eye and de mands the lives of the Englishmen, and seems to lose vigor, to reach an an teclimax in the fourth and last act. Darrell Larsen, as the Eajah of Bukh, dominates the play in all stages with his interpretation of that remarkable personage, the Eajah. He has the per fect suavity of a cultured man of the world and his rather unusual voice, here softly insinuating, adds much to his portrayal of the Hindu. Who would deign to criticise Char lotte Banfieldf Her work as Lucilla, heroine of the play, is done with the expected spirit and fine interpretation of role. To watch a scene between Mias Banfield and Larsen, one forgets that he is watching an amateur uni versity production—their work seems finished. Virgil Mulkey and David Swanson are both in ^good character. Bernard McPhillips, as Watkins, valet to the Rajah, must also be singled out for mention where limited space prohibits a review of the entire cast. McPhil lips is excellent and furnishes much agreeable humor.

The opportunities open to me here for securing training, ideals and vision for life, I deeply appreci ate, and regard as a sacred trust, and do hereby pledge my honor that it shall be my most cherished purpose to render as bountiful a return to the Oregon people and their posterity, in faithful and ardent devotion to the common good, as will be in my power... It shall be the aim of my life to la bor for the highest good and glory . of an ever greater commonwealth.” Governor Walter M. Pierce will be the speaker at the thirteenth annual cele ! bration of University Pledge day at as ! sembly this morning in the Woman’s building. His address will include some of his observations on the life, spirit and traditions of the University and students may doubtless expect to hear some message from the state’s executive concerning his attitude towards the institution. This has al ways been friendly from all indications in the past and as the governor has a daughter on the campus his interest is doubly fortified. Governor’s First Appearance The program for the assembly this morning will open with a musical se lection by the University orchestra and an invocation to be given by Rev. H. W. Davis, pastor on the campus and Y. M. C. A. secretary. Judge J. W. Hamilton, president of the Board of Regents of the University, will come from his home in Roseburg especially for the occasion and will introduce the governor for his first appearance on the campus this year. At the conclusion of his address Governpr Pierce will read the pledge to Oregon. A change in the method of response -will be that the student body will be asked to sing the pledge song instead of repeating thjp pledge as has been the custom on former occa sions. All singing will be lead by ♦the mens’ and girls’ glee clubs under the direction of John Stark Evans of the school of musis. ^ Classes Dismissed on Time Since this is the first opportunity that the University community has this year to hear Governor Pierce, students are urged to 'assemble promptly at the Woman’s building. To make this pos sible professors have ^been asked to dismiss classes promptly this morning at 10:50 and students will for once be privileged to leave their lectures before the last echo of overtime professorial wisdom is ended. Governor Pierce will arrive on the campus this morning and will be the , guest of the University during his ■ brief visit here today. At noon he i will be entertained at luncheon at the Eugene Commercial club, where he has been asked to speak before its mem bers. _ i DAYS PASS PLEASANTLY FOR UNIVERSITY DEAN i Examination of Dr. Straub Indicates Pain Caused by Nerves; Not by Complications Because the pain which Dr. John Straub has suffered since his opera tion continued beyond a period during which it could be normally ascribed to mere nervous condition, he was re cently taken back to the operating room where a thorough examination of | the operation was made. This examin 1 ation revealed everything in good con dition and no complication was found. Since this is the case Dr. Straub’s phy sicians have returned to their original theory of accounting for his distress on the basis of his weakened nervous state. me days ai me ruruanu ourgicai hospital pass fairly comfortably for the University’s “grand old man” for distraction is offered by frequent vis itors, messages and evidences of the widespread thought and sympathy that are his from thousands of admirers and friends all over the state. Al though it will be some time before his recovery is complete, he is re ported resting with some degree of improvement and is receiving every possible attention and care. FROSH READY FOR BATTLE SATURDAY Dope on Game Hard to Foretell With Little Known About Linfield Eleven’s Strength SQUAD SHOWS GOOD FIGHT Struggle Will Polish up Babes For Fierce Combat Against Aggie Rooks November 9 Coach Williams and his clan of pigskin artists are priming for their little fiasco with the Linfield eleven, Saturday. Scrimmage was in order last night, with the second stringers on the ball part of the time. The youngster varsity looks good, but as little is known of the McMinnville invaders, it is difficult to compare the two teams. The go with Linfield will give the coach an excellent chance to perfect the line play and possibly get a ling on some men, who have not had a chance to show yet. The Columbia game was a hard one for the opening of the sea son, but it brought out the Oregon fight and also some future varsity material. Practically every man who saw service against the Portlanders looks like varsity timber next year. Harrison Replaces Mlmnaugh Harrison surprised the fans Saturday when he replaced Mimnaugh and played a cool, heady game, his long kicks aid ing the yearlings several times. The backfield as a whole worked nice and will be a outfit to stop when they get on the field with the visiting eleven. The line is showing improvement every night, and with the polish gained by the coming struggle, will be ripe for the game of their lives against the Aggie Books, November 9. In scrimmage the regulars lined up about the same as in the mill with the Columbia team, except that Harrison was at quarter and Socolofsky at half. Although no definite lineup has been is sued by the coaches, it is probable that the same backs will open against Lin field. The line may be the same as that used last Saturday. Stearns worked in Kjelland’s tackle last night and may start the fracas. > Coach Has Many Reserves The rest of the line looks intact and any change will probably be made at the last minute. Williams has a big squad to pick from and if the game goes favorable to the freshmen, he may send in a number of his reserves and save, the regulars for the hard go with the Books next week. PAN XENIA CONVENTION WILL BE IN PORTLAND Dean Lewis from U. of W. Will he Main Speaker; Plana Made for Foreign Expansion of Society Unless there is some change in pres ent plans, Pan Xenia, national honorary foreign trade society, will hold a con vention in Portland November 17 and 18. Dean of the school of business administration at the University of Washington will be one of the principal speakers. The selection of Dean Lewis as speaker is a particularly good one, ac cording to Prof. A. L. Lomax of the school of business administration here, for Pan Xenia was organized at the University of Washington. Since 1916, the date of its organiza tion, the society has expanded consid erably. Last year a program of ex pansion was instigated, with the result that new chapters were installed in the universities of Oregon, California, New York, and Stanford. Foreign ex pansion was made by the granting of chapter in Canton Christian college, and colleges in Shanghi and Tien-tsin. It is probable that in the near future chapters will also be installed in some Japanese university and in the Philli pines, thus making the society even more far-reaching in its scope. SOPHS TO HAVE PICTURE Stephenson Urges Everyone to Be Out; Meet at Woman’s Building Kenneth Stephenson, sophomore class president, requests all sophomores to assemble outside the Woman’s build ing tomorrow immediately after as sembly, when a group picture of the class of ’26 for the Oregana will be taken. Stephenson urges that every sopho more get in the picture and declares that only a few moments will be con sumed in taking the picture if all mem bers of the class will make it their aim to assemble, and comply with the directions of the photographer as quickly as possible. SHY’S MEN OFF FOR PULLMAN Coach Who Is Sending Team Against W. S. C. Shy Huntington ANNUAL SOPH INFORMAL SET FOR NOVEMBER 17 Oriental Decorations Will be Feature of Gay Event Elaborate pi aba are being made for the sophomore informal that is to be held in the armory on Saturday, November 17. The dance is for the entire student body and will be formal for women and informal for men as in past years. Decorations are to follow an oriental plan. A feature dance to be given by Gladys Noren and Katherine Jane Seel, will carry out this idea. Paul Krausse is chairman of the dec oration committee and has as helpers Freda Runes, George Mansfield, Charles Norton and Bud Pearson. They promise something original and entirely dif ferent from anything that any other class has given. The refreshments are to be kept a secret and all that can be learned about them is that “they’re not of the usual sort but will be satisfying nevertheless.” Mabel Madden, Katherine Reade, Mike Goodell and Joe Frazer have charge of this part of the evening’s plans. Excellent music is being arranged for by Bob McCabe and Ben Calloway, who have promised to have the best music from the eampus at the Armory that night. Herman Blaesing, Phyllis Coplan and Arnold Southwell are in charge of the programs. The list of patrons and patronesses is not complete but many people popular with campus students are to be asked. Maurine Buchanan, Dorothy Myers, Ed na Murphy, Edith Pierce and Otto Mau the compose this committee. Steele Winterer is chairman of the hall committee, and will have as assistants Bart Kendall, Paul Ager, Ben Jordan, Joe Saari, Tom Graham and Oscar Mc Kinney. All members or committees are urgea to be in Dean Straub’s office at 7:00 o’clock tonight to discuss preliminary planB for the hop. CHRISTMAS BALL PLANNED Committees Appointed to Arrange for Annual Portland Dance The Christmas college ball, under the auspices of Women’s League, will be given at the Multnomah hotel in Port ! laud us usual during the Christmas va J cation. Jeanne Gay has been appointed head I of the committee in charge and is | working out definite plans. Georgians | Gerlinger, in charge of publicity; Vir ginia Pearson, of tickets; and Betty Kerr, patroness. COUGARS IMPROVE SINCE IDAHO TILT Varsity Slightly Weakened by Injuries to Players; Vio Risley is Unable to Play BACKFIELD IN GOOD SHAPE By the time- this edition of. the Emerald is thoroughly perused the foot ball team will be well on its way to Pullman where the Washington State Cougar will be baited in its lair, on1 Saturday. The California game is sure evidence that the Webfooters are going to have a cat-clawing time of it with the Pullman team, which after a dis asterous start is finding itself and will press the varsity hard. Every game from now on is a cru cial game and this will be no exception to the rule, as the Cougars with a foxy coach in Exendine are planning to smear the Oregon offense and crush the defense. In the Washington State hleven, Oregon goes up against the famous Warner system, and followers of football will recognize that as one of the best in the country. Mills Has Infected Foot Slightly weakened by injuries, the yarsity will give the Cougars all the baiting they can stand. Mills, regular guard, is not in the best of shape, having an infected foot. It is likely that he will see service at some stage of the game, possibly see all of it through. With Bailey and Mills going, ypregon has a nice little guard com bination, all fight and no laydown. Bliss and Shields worked at tackle and guard in the scrimmage last night and are sure to get a chance. Shields will fill Mills’ niche if the regular does not start. Wilson and Sinclair are making the trip to handle the center berth. It is likely that Wilson will draw the assignment, with Sin clair ready to step in. Vonder Ahe and Campbell will offici ate at tackle. Beed, regular tackle, played end during the first of the week and he might be seen at a flank dur ing the go with the Cougars. Campbell is rounding into shape and will be a valuable help against the heavy Pull man squad. Kinney Good at End In Kinney, Huntington has a new end, who may surprise the fans up north, if he gets in the struggle. He is big and somewhat faster than the regular flankers. It is likely that Mautz and Williamson will open on the wings with Reed and Kinney in re serve. Bisley did not make the trip due to a bad skin infection. He has ■Been going good during the practice season and would have been a great help to the varsity Saturday. Terjesen, Sax, Latham and Chapman are sure to start in the backfiled with Anderson, Poulsen, Kirtley and French in reserve. The backs have been going good during the nightly workouts. Latham is getting his kicking down to a science now and adding distance all the time. He will have strong op position in this department as Zaepfel, Cougar back, has handled the kicks for the last two years and looks as good as Jenno. Chapman will hoof the place kicks, if opportunity offers. Webfooters Have Edge Idaho best the Cougars, but the Pull fnanitcs outplayed them and looked like the best team at the finish. Ore gon outplayed the Vandals, but did not score. This gives the Webfooters (Continued on page three) Clever Ones Open Eyes Upon Last Day to Pound Out Slogan If any of you denizens of this insti-1 tution of higher learning wish to glom them five kopecks, or scamper off with those pasteboards for the Home ! coming game, you had better do an ! Iberian one-step on the keys of some one-lunged typewriter and then dash over to the little annex to the Ad building and deposit therein a slogan, ; fitting and proper for the Homecom ing festivities before this day fades into the dewy and starry night. . Three hundred or more beckons to ' the old grads are already in and more came yesterday, but do you know what? Some of these old grads have decided that they might just as well gather the sheckels unto themselves and they have written in some few vol j urnes of slogans. What would we think if some old timers would roll up to the prize win dow, brush back his flowing beard (the one he started when a senior in ’88) and say, “Pass over the paste boards, sonny. I wrote that Home coming handle.” No, we just^an’t think of letting those sheckels sbp out of the student body. The judges will gather today, this afternoon, and ‘then the slogans will fly. Someone will have to get ener getic, forget their classes for the day and dash off a web or two of slogans. Idea? Sure, we’ll give you one— Oregon spirit, game with Aggies, bon fire, noise, crowd, and anything else that you want to take a chance on. Here’s one—“Back again, Boot Again, Fight Again, Broke Again, Gone Again, Flannigan.”
