Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 21. 1923 NUMBER 42 WEEK-END PLANS NEAR COMPLETION Welcoming Committee to Have Booths at Both Depots to Direct incoming Alumni CAMPUS “HELLO” IS FIRST All Trains to Be Met and Grads Taken to Administration Building for Registration Plans for greeting and housing the grads at the big time this week-end are complete, the committee chairmen announce. The students will have to do their part in making the alums feel that they are back at home, that this is a real Homecoming. The old campus "hello” is the first thing. The wel coming committee asks that every student remember to say "hello” to the guests whenever they meet them. The welcoming committee have planned for a booth at both the O. E. and S. P. depots to help the incoming alums. These booths are to be in charge of the Kwamas. The Oregon Knights will meet the trains. Autos will be at the depots to meet all trains and bring the grads out to the administration building to register. The rooms and accommodations com mittee are placing a booth in the Ad building for this registration of guests. The booth, which will be open from 1 o’clock Friday afternoon to before the game Saturday, will also take care of tnfftTTnftHmi. hadcren and fip.lcAtfl. Cars Needed Alumni of Oregon and visiting alums will be provided with free admittance tickets to everything except the game. Every living organization on the campus will be asked to provide one car for use Friday afternoon and even ing and Saturday morning until 1:30 p.m. Houses or individuals who wish further information should call the welcoming chairman, Douglas Wright, at 127. The housing committee reports that townspeople are slow to call up about available rooms, but that a room list has been worked out and the grads will be adequately taken care of. The committee are planning on providing 400 rooms for guests. Bequests by letter and telegram have come in for 100 rooms already. Students should see that guests go first of all to the administration build ing to register. There will be no other way to secure a room than through the committee during the week-end, for all hotels are reserved for the entire time. Townspeople Cooperate The mayor of Eugene and the Eugene chamber of commence have promised to lend their support to this year’s Homecoming and secure the coopera tion of the townspeople. They plan to stage a special “clean-up” day before this week-end in order that the city may look its best. The down-town section is going to have some special decorations in the way of flags and special street lighting. Extra window displays will also be a feature for Homecoming. On account of the big game Sat urday afternoon, which practically everyone will attend, the city mer chants will close their doors on Sat urday from 1:30 p.m. until 5:30 p.m. The committee wishes to warn the students to be sure and secure tickets for the game at the Co-op and not try to get into the bleachers on their student body tickets. The special student tickets are the only means of admission. There is no charge for them, they are merely an aid in figuring gross receipts from the game. New Shrubs Are Being Planted on Campus Grounds Fall planting has been actively going forward on the campus under the direction of Mr. H. M. Fisher, superintendent of buildings and grounds. Some 800 new shrubs are being put in about the various buildings, including Hendricks and Susan Campbell halls, the woman’s, Oregon, commerce and art build ings, and the new heating plant. Fifty each of English Laurel, Sumac and Wigellia, and 25 each of Hydrangea and Cotoneaster Franchetti plants are only a few of the varieties which will beautfiy the campus. A special list con tains European White Birch Belula, Azaleas, Golden Glow and Forth sythia. The row of scarlet oaks on Uni versity street is to be continued with the planting of another dozen trees. A Japanese plum tree which stood in the way of the conveyor being built to the heating plant has been moved to a spot at the west end of the Woman’s building. The tree, which is over 18 years old, was difficult to move on ac count of the amount of dirt it was necessary to take with the roots. It is pruned and bare of leaves now, but in the spring has a decora tive bronze foliage and deep red flower. DR. E. T. WILLIAMS TO SPEAK AT ASSEMBLY Meeting Announcing Museum Opening to Be Friday This week ’p assembly, which will b( held on Friday at 11 o’clock instead of Thursday, will be devoted to the formal opening of the new collector of old Chinese paintings and othei gifts recently presented by Mrs. Mur ray Warner to the Murray Warnei Memorial Collection of Oriental Art, in the Oregon Museum of Fine Arts, Dr. E. T. Williams, former secretary of Far Eastern Affairs, will give the address of the morning. The date of the assembly has beer changed to enable campus guests who would probably not be able to come down as early as Thursday to attend the exercises, which will be held in the Woman’s building, where the art col lection is to be housed. Both the art collection and Women’s league rooms will be pressed into service for exhibi tion of the art treasures. Dr. Williams, the speaker, is re puted to be an exceptionally fine one, He is an authority on Oriental art, having spent a large part of his life in the Orient. After his ordination as a minister of the Disciples of Christ church, he held several important pastorates in the United States, and then went as a mis sionary to the orient. He spent nine years in missionary work, and at the enfi of that time became an inter preter to the American consulate-gen eral at Shanghai. After this he held numerous other positions with the Chinese government and representatives of the American government in China, He was translator to the Chinese gov ernment at Shanghai, Chinese secretary to the American legation at Peking, consul-general at Tientsin, secretary of the American legation at Peking, and chief director of Far Eastern Af fairs of the department of state. Upon his return to the United States, he was sent as a technical delegate to the peace conference at Paris in 1919, and was a member of the committee (Continued on page three) Noise Carnival Friday Night Will Be a Howling Success If old fiddling Nero and his gang of Roman lounge lizards could be in Eugene Friday night, and could get an earful of the noise carnival, they would blush for shame and pull their togas over their heads when they thought of the crash of the city walls, and the shrieks of the mob as the ec centric fiddler hurled a firebrand into the haymow of Caesar’s livery stable and then squealed gleefully on his aneient Strad. That noise gabosh which starts at the school and shrieks, grumbles, groans, roars and howls its way to the armory, is going to make the deceased roll about in the cemetery and heap curses on all mortals. The noise fest is going to knock the peaks off the neighboring buttes. The hoof beats of Attila’s Huns will be but a murmur in comparison with the procession that steams down Eleventh avenue and disturbs the sil ence of the little city for a couple of hours. The clash and clatter at Water loo will have nothing on our little howl fest. Everything from a crochet hook to a steam caliope is going to be com mandered for the gloom dispelling per formance. Band saws, circle saws, meat saws and any saws that ever sawed will have a welcome place in the ordeal of screech. The saw has always been an instrument of music and (Continued on page three) The Men’s Glee Club and Band Will Furnish Music During the Serving of the Meal MENU STILL KEPT SECRET Alumni and Upperclassmen to Be Served on Main Floor of Men’s Indoor Gymnasium The campus luncheon at Homecoming this year will be half again as large as any luncheon in the past.

W. Smith, Librarian The first volumes of a collection of $1,000 worth of scientific journals have been received by the library recently.

From a German dealer, a set of “Archives De Biolegie” was purchased. The set consists of volume 1 to 29. “Revista Di Psicologia,” volumes 1 to 15 and volume 17; and four books of “Psiche” were bought by Mr. Smith while in Italy. The new journals are to be placed in the regular stacks of the circulation room.

'Theta Sigs to Be ! “at Home” Thursday for Entire Campus All campus tea hounds and sofa suakos will have an opportunity to haul out the old golf knickers and bold headed canes tomorrow, as the members of Theta Sigma Phi, wo men journalists will be at homo from 3 to 6 p.m., to receive their friends and well-wishers in the Theta Sig room of the old shack. Dancing will be part of the order of the day, say the scribes, since the floor will be nicely smoothed off with a liberal coating of soap chips. Music is being furnished through the kindness of the “chief scribe,” Miss Grace Edgington, who has lent her phonograph for the occasion. This is the second time that the pen-pushers of the campus have held open house, the first occasion having been last spring. At that time a goodly sum of filthy lucre was poured into the Coffers for the purpose of furnishing a rest-room for all the women of the journalism school. Tomorrow’s occasion will be similar to that of last spring. A coin box will be placed in a con venient place and visitors will be asked to contribute to the worthy cause of making the furnishings more complete. UNDEFEATED FIJIS LEAD IN BASKETBALL LEA6DE Bachelordon and Kappa Sigma Win Tuesday’s Games STANDING OF LEAGUE “A" W. L. Pet. Phi Gamma Delta . 2 0 1000 Phi Kappa Psi . 2 1 .666 Friendly Hall . 2 1 .666 Phi Delta Theta . 1 1 .500 Beta Theta Pi. 1 1 -500 Sigma Chi . 1 2 .333 Delta Tau Delta . 0 1 .000 Oregon Club . 0 1 .000 Bachelordon of league “B” defeated the Sigma Nu five in a fast and hotly contested game yesterday 23 to 20. The Sigma Nus started with a dash and led at half-time 15 to 8. The Bachelor don quintet came back in the second half, however, tied the score and forg ed into the lead in the last two minutes of play. They held the slight three point lead throughout the remainder of the contest. Martin and Myers starred for Bachelordon and Lee showed up especially well for Sigma Nu. In the second contest yesterday, the Kappa Sigs mistook the contest for a track meet and ran all over the Chi Psis to the tune of 60 to 2. Fraser, with 26 points, was the leading scorer of the game, while he was closely fol lowed by Okerberger with 20. Burke annexed both of the Chi Psi counters on converted fouls. The games for today will be: Beta Theta Pi. vs. Phi Delta Theta at 4 p.m. Phi Gamma Delta vs. Phi Psi at 7 p.m. The Fijis are leading the league with two victories and no defeats and soem to have arrived with a bang, in mid season form. They are not only hit ting the basket with great regularity but are showing excellent teamwork and passing in working the ball down under the basket for their shots. They are a slight favorite over the Phi Psis in tonight'8 contest. The Phi Psis, after making such a (Continued on page three.; SCRIMMAGE PRACTICE IN LIBRARY VARSITY ELEVEN SCRIMMAGE FRQSH Battle Stops at Dark; Latham and Chapman Display Best Offensive Work of Season CAMPBELL IN SHAPE AGAIN Ex-Stars See Practice; Team Expects Professor Howe and Umbrella Every Night The football men homeward plodded their weary way, last night—long after the sun had quit for the day, and sev eral of them limped as they dragged their mud covered brogans toward the dressing room, for they had had a real battle with a contingent from Baa William’s crew of freshmen football aijtists. The varsity stfems to be going again for the first time since the Whitman contest put several of the best men on the crippled list. While Vonder Ahe is not yet out in a suit, and probably won’t be for the O. A. C. game, he is out on the field a portion of each night getting the signals and plays so that he will be able to fit into the ag gregation that goes against Washing ton. Cogs Campbell and Dick Seed are playing the game of their lives at the tackle berths. Varstiy Shows Fight Last night’s scrimmage showed the varsity is developing the dash and fight that characterized their playing before injuries sent their hopes of a championship aggregation tumbling. Hunk Latham was tearing off yardage against the Freshman squad that com pared favorably with the distance cov ered by some of the cross-country men— only he did it sooner. In fact, there were several times that the whole in terference and runner co-ordinated bo successfully that the whistle was all that kept them from crossing the goal line. Chapman is playing his Teal game. He realizes that this is his last op portunity to go against the Aggies and he has no intentions of finishing with a defeat chalked against him. He has a habit of calling the plays where the opposition don’t think they will come —and then making yardage. Terjesen is also back in the line-up; not as a cripple with orders to watch his leg; but as the fighting fullback that got him the name of the “Great Dane.” Anderson Fast Back Louie Anderson has been working out as a halfback. Andewon is fast and heavy. He made yardage several times against Stanford and with sea soning will develop into a demon back field man. Anderson isn’t a Dane, but he has the fighting instinct of the Scandanavian. The ends are still unproven. Since Bisley’s injury Zimmerman and Wil liamson have been working out at left end and Mautz and Kinney playing around the extreme right end of the line. The coming contest will give them a chance to redeem themselves and show Oregon football followers that thero are men on the squad who can learn to play end if they are not natural born wing material. uia-ximers aee rracuco The center of the line will be about the same. Several minor strains are slowing up some of the men, but time and Bill Hayward will have them in shape by next Saturday’s contest. Since O. A. C.’s sensational comeback in the game with Washington State, campus crepe hangers have been bemoaning their lack of faith in Oregon’s chances. As long as Oregon fight lasts, she has always got a chance against any body, and at present even the L. N. P. 's on the squad have ceased to grumble and are eager to work late and get there early to get the varsity in shape for the fray. Baz Williams was even on the firing line, last night, directing the maneuvers of his grey clad bat telers. Spike Leslie and Skeet Murphy were out watching the prac tice, as was Athletic Director Earle. Professor Howe is always out. The players consider that he brings them luck and that if his umbrella should ever be mislaid so that he would be unable to come, consternation would strike the varsity squad. Three more practices and then the big time is here.
