OREGON BABES HAVE FIGH1
Weight of Rook Team Averages
Around 200-Pound Mark;
Baz Faces Huge Task
By Ken Cooper
Over at our sister institution thej
seem to have forgotten all about the
fact that they have a varsity team and,
instead, their attention is centered up
on their sensational rook team. Their
“wonder rook” team is their hope since
their varsity has been lapped in the
conference race. The worst part of
the whole affair is that they have a
rook team that, as far as weight, speed
and experience are concerned, looks
like a real tough proposition. There’s
t 110 gainsaying the fact that they have
a galaxy of stars tromping around
under the watchful eye of “Spec”
Keene, the rook mentor.
Over here on the Oregon campus, we
have a crew of frosh, not one of
whom will weigh 200 pounds. The frosh
got a late start in practice and in a
hard fought contest, they nosed out
the Columbia University eleven by a
seven-point margin. Day after tomor
row these freshmen will journey to
Aggieland to meet the rooks who just
got through romping through an easy
14 to 0 victory over the same Colum
bia team. The dope certainly is stacked
neck-high against the Webfoot babes,
and, if it weren’t for one little item
that often enters very largely into
football contests, we would predict that
the local lads would take a trouncing.
Baz Instills Pep
That little item just spoken of is the
thing that makes winning teams out of
losing ones, or turns defeat into victory.
Call it anything you please, pep, fight,
spirit, scrap. Whatever it is, Baz Wil
liams has the ability to instill it into
a herd of recruits and inside of a couple
of weeks turns them into a fighting ma
chine that would tackle its weight in
wildcats and spot the wild cats the
first three bites. That was what
enabled the frosh team of 1921 to go
over and hold the rooks to a scoreless
tie in the face of heavy odds. That
seems to be the big chance of the
freshmen this year.
To get down to the actual facts con
cerning the rook team, it would prob
ably be best to start with Schulmerick
aind Dixon, the two big guns of the
rook heavy artillery. Both of (thes)B
men tip the beam at better than 200
pounds and are fast enough to make
them extremely dangerous, both at line
plugging and in the open field. Plenty
of stuff has been written about them
and their ability to rip holes in the
opposing line.
Two Show Good Work
The other two men who have been
showing the best work in the rook back
field are Kenny Denman, who has been
barking the numbers for the Aggie
babes, and Ireland, Schulmerick’s run
ning mate at half back. On the line,
we find that the wing positions have
just about fallen to Liebe, ex-Washing
ton high tackle who was all-star inter
scholastic in his prep school days, and
Ross who officiates at right end. Dick
erson and Craig seem to be Keene’s
choice for tackles while Peek and Tub
( by Dean look like fixtures at the two
guards. Baicoim is the outstanding
candidate for center.
This outfit represents a team that
will average, right around the 200-pound
mark and it would be folly to take
them lightly and pass the whole affair

Starving Students
May Secure Eats
at Tea Tomorrow
No rushed-to-death camOus indi
vidual need starve tomorrow, for if
he does it is his own fault. For
never did a tea room have more
tempting eats to offer than will
the Y. W. C. A. tea room which
j opens at 1 o’clock tomorrow.
There will be pumpkin pies and
j mince pies which bear the home
! made trade mark, there will be
sandwiches, tea, cinnamon toast and
all the brands of ice cream sundaes.
And the price will be reasonable,
the proceeds to go toward a fund
to buy magazines for the infirm
ary.
The decorations will be in keep
ing with the Thanksgiving holidays
and the autumn colors. Twenty
tables will be arranged about the
bungalow to accomodate the patrons,
and the committee in charge prom
ises the most efficient service. Dur
ing the afternoon a special program,
which Euth Cochran is arranging,
will be given.
So every student is urged to save
some of the extra pennies, and take
them to the bungalow tomorrow to
be used towards a good purpose. The
affair opens promptly at one and
closes at 6 o’clock.
“OLD OREGON” WILL BE
OFF PRESS NEXT WEEK
Homecoming Issue to Contain
Many Novel Features
The November issue of “Old Oregon”
will be ready for circulation Tuesday,
November 13, according to an an
nouncement by Grace Edgington, alumni
secretary and editor of the publication.!
The closing of copy was made yesterday
and the monthly now goes to press. “It
will be the Homecoming issue,” said
Miss Edgington, “and will contain the
latest information as is possible to give i
on the big event.
“ ‘Brother Driver and Others of His
Time,’ a book by Herbert Thompson,
will be one of the features of the is
sue,” said Miss Edgington.
“This is the third story by Herbert
Thompson to be run in ‘ Old Oregon. ’ j
He is a former student, now a news
paper man on one of the large New
York dailies. One of his stories was
printed in an issue of ‘ Old Oregon ’ last
spring and since there has been so
large a demand for that issue, we have
found it very pleasant to print another
of his stories.”
Continuing, Miss Edington said,
“ ‘Brother Driver and Others of His
Time ’ is a story of an early Eugene
minister. It shows the close relation-1
ship between the college life of those:
days and the town life.”
All the contributors to the poetry
page this time will be men, some stu-:
dents, and some alumni.
A review on the book, “Gray Tower,” i
anonymously published, is to be played
up this time on the book page. “The I
scene is believed to be on the campus
of Chicago University,” said Miss
Edgington. Other reviews will be on
“Farm Construction and Eepair Work,”
by Ferdinand Struck, ’ll; and Gerald
Doxssee’s “Getting Into Your Life
Work.” Doxssee’s class is 1918.
Dean H. D. Sheldon is the second of
the campus deans to be covered in the
series of deans which takes up some- i
thing of the personality of the heads of
the various schools, and also something
of the scope of work covered. A new
feature is the beginning of a set of pic-1
tures of the permanent class secretaries. |
There will be a picture of the 18951
football team, which was Oregon’s
second team, and besides there will be
other pictures of the Oregon Agricul
tural College team, and the 1916 Ore
gon team, which by a score of 14 to 0
took a game from Penn. State New
Year’s Day, 1917, at Pasadena.
Jazzy Juniors Will Win Much
Publicity with Aid of Brush
Ten pennies make one dime,
One dime means one shine.
The seniors have had their spell of
publicity—now it is time for the juniors
to come before the public eye. The oc
casion will be the annual shine day of
the juniors for the purpose of raising
funds for charity in the city of Eugene,
and will take place Thursday, Novem
ber 15.
True enough, the juniors shine every
day in the year, but this time, they will
shine the footwear of their
fellow students—students, many of
whom undoubtedly never saw a Shoe
shine before on the campus, .fresh
men can for once watch someone work
besides themselves. Sophomores learn
how the deed is done so they may fol
low suit next year. Juniors will have
that feeling of satisfaction that they
are helping humanity. Seniors will be
given the opportunity to look down
and possibly say, ‘‘Well done.”
Elaborate plans are being made for1
the occasion with Winifred Graham at j
the head of the committee in charge.
Miss Graham states that not a student
of the University will go through the
day without being fully aware of the
fact that their annual opportunity of a
lifetime is at hand. The junior girls
will be very much in evidence, and,
with the aid of their bright colors, will
herald the occasion far and wide.
One dime means one shine. Yes, it
does—for all shoes of reasonable size.
The management feels fully justified;
in charging an additional tax on all

Branches of Organization to be
Started in Universities to
Foster National Sentiment
SOCIETY IS NON-PARTISAN
Desire for America to Unite in
Strengthening Movement Is
Aim; Campaign Is Planned
Letters have been received by the
University asking for backing in the
work of the League of Nations Non
Partisan Association. The university
and college branch of this association
desires to form units in all universities
and colleges throughout the United
States with the purpose of fostering a
national senitment in favor of the
League of Nations.
The national society asks that a con
ference of interested students gather to
organize a branch of the association on
this campus. Any member of the stu
dent body who desires to inaugurate
this movement on the campus is urged
to do so by the national organization.
Campus Drive Planned
The plan of campaign for campuses
contains the following features: First,
an intensive membership campaign. The
fee for university branches will be $1
per member. Of this amount 50 cents
will be sent to the national office as a
subscription to the League of Nations
Herald and the other half of the money
will be kept by the branch for its own
expenses.
Second, there are to be meetings ad
dressed by qualified speakers, secured
through the local branch or by the na
tional organization. The third plan
ned feature is a series of debates upon
the subject. Publicity through campus
publications and the distribution of
literature completes the campaign.
The activities which will be the
practical aim of the campus groups are
two. The first will be the taking of a
straw vote, ' early in 1924 upon the
world court and the League of Nations.
The second is in March, April and May,
1924, in cooperation with the national
office, securing petitions addressed to
the national conventions of all parties
requesting them to make platform
declarations in favor of American
membership in the League of Nations.
Pamphlet Gives Principles
The principles and purposes of the
national association is worked out in
pamphlet form for the students’ peru
sal. They believe in the prevention of
wars by some league or union of na
tions. They approve the work of the
present league and desire that America
unite with it. They are decidedly op
posed to the attitude of standing off
and observing for this country.
In their statement, they give this
invitation to those interested in the
movement. “We, putting aside all party
or other differences, unite and invite
other persons and organizations to
unite with us for the purpose of an
independent, non-partisan cultivation
of such a public opinion as will induce
the present administration, or if not
this one, the next one, to enter the
League of Nations on such terms as to
such administration may seem wise,
provided only that they be consistent
with our constitution and consonant
with the dignity and honor, the moral
responsibility and power of our repub
lic.”
PETITIONS TO CHANGE
COURSES NOT GRANTED
New Regulation Makes Withdrawal
Prom Classes Impossible After
First Three Weeks
Owing to the new ruling regarding
late registration, petitioners to change
or drop courses have been few this
term, says a report from the registrar’s
office. Only 15 petitions have been
filed, and of these all but three have
been rejected by the faculty committee.
In most cases the petitions were refer
red to the University health service,
but in only these three instances were
the reasons given sufficient to war
rant . late registration.
“University Regulations,” published
this year, states that “adding of
courses will be allowed only during
the first two weeks of each term, and
dropping of courses will be allowed
only during the first three weeks of
each term.” This means that the com
pleted petition must be filed at the
registrar’s office within that time, and
fl.00 deposited for each course added
and each course dropped.
It is now impossible for any student
to withdraw from or add a course. Stu
dents not attending classes in which
they are registered will receive a VI,
it flunk in the course.
RELIGIOUS SCHOOL
PLANNED BY SEC1
Presbyterians Buy Property foi
New Edifice at Corner ol
14th and Kincaid Street;
PORTLAND PEOPLE DONATE
Educational Institution Will be
Inter-Denominational One in
Connection With University
The lot on the southwest corner of
14th and Kincaid streets is now the
site of a proposed school of religion in
connection with the University, since
its recent purchase by members of the
Presbyterian state committee directing
student work on the campus.
It is the plan of the new owners to
hold this corner for a building which
is to house this school as soon as its
establishment is assured. The new site
has a frontage of 160 feet on Kincaid
street, adjoins the University campus
and is in the center or a group of rapid
ly rising fraternity homes in Kincaid
addition. The proposed building will
overlook the new section of the campus
which is being planned above lath
street between Kincaid and University
and will be the second large one to go
up in its immediate vicinity, as the
Masonic order on the campus has an
nounced the intention of erecting a
club house in the same block on 14th
street.
Donations Are Given
The purchase has been made possible
by the donations of several prominent
Presbyterians in Portland who hope to
stimulate interest in the endowment of
such a school in the near future by
providing a suitable location for it.
Negotiations for the property have
been under warp for some time and
have been carried on by the members
of the committee of the church who
supervise all student work in the insti
tutions of higher learning in the state.
The land was bought from Phi Gamma
Delta and this group have now pur
chased property on the corner of 19th
and University for the site of their
new home.
Although no definite details have
been worked out, the committee m
Portland, of which Dr. Harold L. Bow
man, of the first Presbyterian church,
is chairman, plans to erect a building
to contain recitation rooms, offices
and possibly a library for instructors
offering courses in subjects relating to
theology. The plan is part of a
national movement which has resulted
in the school of religion at the Uni
versity of Missouri.
Manse to be Built
Among other institutions which are
considering the project, is the Univer
sity of Michigan. The proposed school
will be inter-denominational in scope
and the building erected by the Presby
terians will not be confined to their
use. A residence for the Presbyterian
pasior on the campus is to occupy a
part of the lot and will probably be
built within the coming year.
Announcement of more definite plans
for the proposed school and building
will be made later and the names of
the donors of the funds are withheld
until that time, according to Reverend
Bruce J. Giffen, Presbyterian pastor
on the campus. '

Sugary Doughnuts
to Be Vended by
Theta Sigma Phil
There is doughnut basketball,
doughnut swimming, doughnut de
bate, and doughnut baseball, but
there is only one doughnut that has
1 a real flavor and kick to it. That
: doughnut is the big, sugary, tasty,
crisji confection patented by the
! Theta Sigma Phis and vended an
nually by these women journalists.
Baskets heaped with the sugary
veiled dainty are to appear Thurs
day, November 15, on the campus
from dawn to sundown.
What would be more delightful
than to walk into one’s 8 o’clock
consuming a huge dougtnut held in
one hand, while digesting the last
' 62 pages of Taussig’s masterpiece
or Todd’s Theories of Social Pro
gress, fondly held in the other hand.
What excuse could be moro valu
able and acceptable to our professors
I when one is impunctual than to walk
up to the aforementioned potenta
tes pleasantly extending an oxtra
circle of deliciousness. Yes indeed,
Oregon professors are extremely
I fond of Theta Sigma Phi doug*
j nuts.
These overgrown lifesavers,
to their name, are guaranteed to al
leviate that “gone feeling” so fre
quently experienced around assem
bly hour, by students, faculty and
speaker.
The sinkers are a paradox for they
raise ono to heights of happiness,
so buy a Theta Sig doughnut. “They
Satisfy.”
UNIVERSITY COMPANY
TO STAGE "DOVER ROAD”
Betty Robinson and Darrell
Larson Play Leads
“Dover Boad,” by Milne, which in
his own words is “an absurd comedy,”
is the play chosen by Mask and Bus
kih, campus chapter of the National
Collegiate Players, as their fall quar
ter production. Directed by Fergus
Beddie, the scenery from the Heilig
theater in Portland, the play will bo
given in the Heilig on November 19.
Ted Baker will act as manager.
Betty Bobinson and Darrell Larson
will be cast in the two leads, both be
ing well-known Guild players. In
“Come Out of the Kitchen,” the Mask
and Buskin play last year, Miss Bobin
son played successfully a very interest
ing role, and has since in the senior
company done some good interpreta
tion. This part, it is thought by those
in direction, will give her a greater op
portunity than she has yet had.
Darrell Larson recently starred in
“The Green Goddess,” and has during
his connection with the company done
much fine work, a great share of it in
leading roles. His playing is interest
ing in part because of its development.
The play is built around two couples
who elope, the husband of one with the
wife of another. Latimer, a wealthy
bachelor, keeps a house on Dover Boad
which is run for the sole purpose of
having such couples see their mistakes.
It is a highly humorous situation with
clever lines, riotous scenes, and a good
end.
The entire cast follows:
Virgil Mulkey.

FIRST VESPER SERVICE
WILL BE HELD SUNDAY
R. A. Booth, Former State Senator, Will
Address Patriotic Meeting;
Music Is Feature
The University Vesper choir, which
is composed of the two glee clubs, will
appear in a patriotic service in con
junction with the local American Le
gion Post, Armistice day, November 11,
at the Eugene Methodist church.
This will not be a memorial service,
but purely an Armistice patriotic ser
vice. R. A. Booth, prominent citizen
of Eugene and former state senator,
and president of the local Rotary Club,
will be the principal speaker.
Special music will be rendered by the
vesper choir. It will include an anthem,
“God of Our Fathers,” by Scott, and
Ruth Akers, prominent member of the
women’s glee club, will carry a special
solo part. Roy Bryson will sing
“Khaki Lad,” by Aylward. Also for
the vesper choir there has been evolved
a rather distinctive series of chants.
There will be np offering. Vesper
services are given by the University
Vesper choir every month in the Metho
dist church. John Stark Evans is the
director and also the organist.
CHANGED VARSITY
1 BAITERS SCRUBS
Hayward Busy Tending Lame;
Regulars Grace Sidelines at
Last Night’s Scrimmage
PLAYERS GO HOME IN DARK
Stanford Jinx Is Not Causing
Men Loss of Sleep; Fight
Promised to Red Warriors
Four more days until the Stanford
game. The way the s^uad looked last
night, Oregon will not depend so much
on the efforts of Shy and Bart as the
ability of Trainer Hayward. Illness
kept two of Oregon’s most dependable
at home during last night’s session and
several others graced the sidelines dur
ing the scrimmage, nursing injuries. It
was a revamped varsity that battered
|jhe scrubs.
Bill Hayward has accomplished the
seemingly impossible before, however,
so Saturday’s first string lineup will
probably not differ greatly from what
football followers have grown to expect.
But in case Bill’s magic (mostly hard
work) fails to produce the expected
results the coaches are working the
squad hard in an effort to shape a
smooth running combination to face
Stanford. In fact, one player aptly
described the situation last night when
he said, “Wo stayed so darn long out
there, the ghost ball looked black.”
Scrimmage Is Vicious
Actual scrimmage did not last very
long last night, but was vicious. Moe
Sax was calling signals for the varsity,
during Chappie’s absence, and he has a
habit of hopping the outfit up, until
there were times that Scrap Iron Toole's
fighting scrubs looked like the well
known sieve. In spite of the fact that
the varsity lino was filled wr-ith several
subs, it showed unexpected offensive
power.
Bart Spdllman had Fat Wilson pass
ing the ball at center and Sinclair try
ing out in a tackle berth. Sinclair
played a strong game at tackle on last
year’s freshman team. Bert Gooding
worked out in the other tackle position.
Gooding broke into prominence by his
good defensive work last season; but
doesn’t seem to have found himself
this year.
Seed Shifted to End
Dick Beed with his 200 pounds of
muscle has been shifted to end. Reed
is a fast, hard tackier and has that
football instinct so necessary in a man
who expects to handle the hundred and
one problems besides mechanical work
which confront the player on the wings.
It also takes powot and stamina to
withstand the hard drives concentrated
against him.
Anderson and Kirtley worked in the
backfield. Kirtley seems to have re
covered from the several injuries re
ceived in the Whitman game and was
running through the scrubs with his
old dash. French also took his turn
at carrying the ball but isn’t going
yet with the fight that made him a
star in his freshman year.
incentive is Aaoea
Sport critics have made some stock
of the Jinx that they claim Stanford
possesses in her favor over Oregon and
of the fact that Oregon has yet to win
her first game from Stanford. This is
not keeping the players awake nights;
but if anything, is an added incentive
for them to fight. Instead of being
in the nature of a dampener of enthusi
asm, it is more in the way of a chal
lenge and Stanford’s red jorsies will
probably have about the same hypnotic
effect on Oregon as the red flag has
on certain truculant members of the
animal kingdom. “Oregon fight,” has
won games in the past when Oregon
didn’t have much else; but with a team
equal to this year’s combination plus
Oregon fight—well it will undoubtedly
be one of the busiest afternoons next
Saturday that Stanford has ever experi
enced.
ENROLLMENT ON INCREASE
111 Students Receive Instruction In 126
Extension Courses
Figures for the month of October
show that there were 111 students en
rolled in 125 correspondence courses
in the University extension division.
The largest enrollment was in English,
with education second and literature and
history third. There were also 39 stu
dents who completed courses in Octo
ber, Dr. Dan E. Clark of the extension
division stated.
At the present time there are 1,050
course registrations compared to 926
at this time last year in correspondence
work, according to figures from the ex
tension division.
