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

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

'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.

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.

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.
REGISTRAR GIVES NOV. 23 AS
LATEST DATE TO WITHDRAW
No student will be permitted to with
draw from school later than Friday,
November 23, without petitioning the
faculty. These directions are given in
compliance with section 38, of the Uni
versity regulations. The rule will be
strictly enforced so that any student
intending to withdraw should do so
previous to that date.
