The Sunday Emerald VOLUME XXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 25. 1923 NUMBER 45 HOMECOMING'S JOES HIE OVER Alums Overflow Town and Do Justice to Events of Hilarious Week-End NOISE FEST BIG AFFAIR Oregon Rooters’ Ardor Not Affected By Rain; Grads Return to Homes Happy Homecoming is over. The grads came in trainloads and auto loads and overflowed the town. They yelled themselves hoarse at the game, did away with all the pro visions of the campus luncheon and had a jolly good time talking over the old days with the other old timers. Something wag doing every minute. Alums began pouring into the Administration building to register as soon as the desk was opened. There was much shouting at old friends and slapping on the back. The bonfire defied the rain and was a solid blaze in five minutes. Built to burn out before the be ginning of the noise parade, it was swift and spectacular and covered the whole sky with a mass of red smoke and sparks. Many See Parade Along line of racket, smoke, steam and fireworks was the noise par ade. S. A. E. took the prize for the noisiest combination with a steam roller and three whistles. All the alums and townspeople lined the streets, alternately cheering and jumping out of the way of fire crackers. Game Draws Crowd The parade wound up at the armory for pep talks from the grads and coaches. The alums were there in a body and the team made its appearance on the stage for a short time. Hooters took up every inch of available space and women were standing upstairs in the balcony. Saturday morning tho^e |grads who had been to bed got up for their class and alumni meetings. The ceremony of laying the Sigma Nu cornerstone was held and the Beta-Delt tug of war furnished amusement to the crowd. The campus luncheon was a mob scene. Throngs blocked the doors and the inside was a mixture of crowded eaters and discarded paper plates. The crowd at the game took every inch of bleacher and grand stand room. Ninety;five Order of the “O” men dended their way about the field, accompanied by the yells of the crowd. O. A. C. put on some clever stunts in the bleachers. There was a big crowd from the state college. The ardor of the Oregon rooters never died. The little rain which marred an otherwise bright after noon did not seem to dampen their spirits. Neither .did the fact of the loss of the game. Between halves the naturalization ceremony was enacted. President (Continued on page two ) Recollections of ’93 Impressions of ’23 By Catherine Spall A tall, well-built man stood in the lobby of the hotel. In spite of the many interviews he has doubtless given because of respon sible positions he has held in pub life life, Charles E. Henderson, of Indianapolis, member of the class of ’93, looked interested and not at all bored as he prepared to de vote a few minutes reminiscing on events back in those days. Mr. Henderson is a man of af fairs—he looks the part, and he acts the part. There is an aggres siveness and earnestness about him that one likes and that gives one the assurance that here is a man who keeps up with the modern tendencies, is willing to take the big responsibilities and see them through. A short time after his graduation from the University, in 1893, he at tended the University of Michigan, taking his bachelor of law degree from that institution of 1895. In 1896 he obtained his master’s de gree, and in that same year was elected to the Indiana state legis lature, his term beginning in 1897. Later he continued his practice of law and in 1906 was made judge of the circuit court of Greene and Sul livan counties in Indiana. In this AGGIE SOCCER TEAM DEFEATS OREGON 2-4 Experience and Playing Nets 0. A. C. Victory O. A. C. won a decisive but hard fought soccer game from the Ore gon soccer team yesterday morning by a score of 4-2. The game was much closer and the Oregon players showed a decided improvement in their game since the last clash be tween the two aggregations earlier in the season. O. A. C. drew first blood and scored two goals in the first period, through nice teamwork in working the ball down the field and into place to kick for a goal. Oregon, through the excellent work of Lau, evened the score and made it stand two all. The teamwork and experi ence of the visiting Aggie players were too much for the Oregon men, however, and this told toward the finish of the game, with O. A. C. scoring twice more. Owing to the muddy condition of the soccer field on Kincaid field, a new playing field was improvised upon the spur of the moment on the grassy place alongside the walk leading to the Music building. The very nature of the field handicapped both teams to a considerable extent. The line-ups were: O. A. C. (4)— —(2) Oregon Brumbuck .Goal. Gowans Cummings .KB. Pil Skillen .LB. Pollack Chulds .LHB. Priestly Oerding . CHB. Giovando Craren .RHB. Irwin Mereer .BW. Bichau Birdseque .IB. Beatty Thayonsky .CP. Series Setantsoff .IL. Lau Turnbull .LW. Beed Subs: O. A. C.—Mecklen and 3efre; Oregon—Hays and Buch. The Co-ed Sees the Game and Other Things Besides By Jeanne Gay Crowds, mobs, thousands of peo ple, machines jammed into every available space and overlapping. “Mums,” huge ones of bright yel low and bronze. Yellow, screaming, excited masses of rooters—all made up the big game yesterday. A ter rible, an awful, yet wenderful game. A game that sent the O. A. C. rooters into frenzies of joy during the sceond quarter and held Oregon rooters speechless with helpless in dignation while an Aggie man made a spectacular run halfway down the field, making the one score of the entire afternoon, 6-0. November in the role of April kept everyone guessing. At first the sun was shining and we wished we weren’t under the new covered bleachers. Later, about the third quarter, it began to shower and the open bleachers across presented a ' veritable patchwork quilt of many hued umbrellas. During that quar ter a faint rainbow, oppressed by a heavy threatening cloud, appeared, but was finally scared away. Were we down-hearted! Never! Was there pep? We’ll say so! Lusty cheers from the Lemon-Yel low section followed by the snappy barked out yells of the Aggie root ers. Incidently O. A. C. ’s gym nastic yell leaders doin(g | yieir “daily dozen” were great. . TBiey amused us a lot. The jinx was upset, the Corvallis team scored on Oregon just five years before she was scheduled to —that sort of makes things safe for us for a long time to come! As otie man remarked, “They beat Oregon so seldom that one can’t help but be glad with them when (Continued on page two.) capacity he served for six years. Since that time he lias been resid ing in Indianapolis practising law. During the six years that Mr. Henderson spent on the campus he never missed attending classes a single day. Cuts were few in those days, but valid excuses could be given for absences from class. Good excuses were forthcoming too, to avert the penalty of being sum moned before the dreaded “green carpet,” with the entire faculty of the University directing piercing and conscience-searching eyes at the writhing student. The-alumnus-from-Indiana was at one time editor-in-chief of “Tfie Reflector,” a monthly news publica tion, established in 1890, the fore runner, one might say, of the pres ent-day Emeralds. In , hisi junior year Mr. Henderson was selected by the faculty to represent the Uni versity in the first intercollegiate oratorical contest, held between six colleges in the state, at Salem. In this event, the University won sec ond honors. “Faculty exercised a very close personal supervision over the stu dents,” continued Mr. Henderson. “Classes were so small that students -%-— (Continued on page three) DEAN STRAUB RETURNS HQAAE FROM PORTLAND Oregon’s “Grand Old Man” Sends Greetings Oregon’s “grand old man” is home again after his first real ab sence from the campus in forty-five years. Although the.-serious nature of the illness which he has suffered has told greatly on his strength and appearance, Dr. Straub still bears his hearty welcoming smile for his University family. He is not yet permitted to receive callers, how ever, and so he has sent his greet ings to all the old grads in the fol lowing statement: “After being shut up in the sick room in the company of other un fortunates for so long and then driving up Thirteenth Friday and seening the boys in their rooters’ caps, full of life and strength, it made me feel that life was worth living if it could be among Uni versity students and on the Uni versity campus. My great regret is that I could not be up to meet the old students who have come back. It is the first Homecoming that I have missed since there have been Homecomings in the Univer sity—some twenty-five years—and I sincerely hope that it will be the last I shall miss as long as I live.” The dean paused at this point and then added his loyal message Jo “the biggest and best class” with a' note of real wistfulness in his voice. “I am proud of my fresh man class, the way it has been working, and the reports that I hear of it from every Bide, and I can hardly wait until I shall be able to meet them as a group and individually.” Dean Straub and his wife, ac companied by Mr. and Mrs. Camp bell Church of Eugene, arrived home at two o’clock Friday afternoon and were met at the station by President and Mrs. Campbell, Professor and Mrs. O. F. Stafford, Dean and Mrs. Colin Y. Dyment and several other relatives. The dean’s delight at being once more at home was in dicated by the fact that his first request was to be driven up Thir teenth avenue in order to see the freshman bonfire pyre. WHITMAN EMPLOYS CHECK SYSTEM OF LOCAL BANKS Whitman college is using the same system that local banks employ in the matter of checking the usual flood of student N. S. F. checks. Checks of various denominations are issued in book form according to the amount the student has on de posit. When the checks are gone the student knows his account is flat. WALTER KIDD WINS PRIZE FOR POEM COLLECTION Walter Evans Kidd, a sophomore in the school of journalism, baa been awarded the national Henry Warner prize for the best collection of poems submitted by an unknown writer un der the age of 25. AGGIES TAKE GAME FROM OREGON, 6 - 0 GIFT CAMPAIGN President Campbell, Virgil Earl are Speakers; Class Rivalry Marks Meeting Enthusiasm over the gift cam paign and the athletic situation, and a great deal of good-natured rivalry between classes, marked the alumni meeting at Guild hall yes terday morning. President P. L. Campbell and Virgil Earl, athletic director, were the speakers. A year of education among this people of the state, which has been the plan of the gift campaign, is beginning to bear fruit, said Pre sident Campbell. There will be a fldod of students coming in in a few years and the University .can not afford to change its policy of personal attention and small class groups. Of the present millage fund of $800,000, there is $700,000 spent each year for maintenance. In the last three years, the president de clared, about $800,000 in money and value has come to the University in the form of gifts without the least effort. Five Millions Expected The president said that he was confident that the five million mark would be reached in five years. He commended the energetic spirit and cooperation of the alumni and urged gifts for buildings, among which were a library, assembly, men’s gymnasium and class buildings. Virgil Earl described the system of sports on the campus. He ad vocated and asked cooperation of the alumni in securing the right sort of young athletes from the high schools. The support and encourage ment of their own townpeople for Oregon would bring the right sort of high school grads to the Uni versity campus, he said. Probably 800 men will have participated in the various athletic branches at the University by the end of the year, Earl announced. Bonfire is Favored The alumni discussed the rally and bonfire plan which was car ried out thih year. There was a good deal of sentiment in favor of giving the bonfire more prominence. The inside rally plan was approved* but it was generally believed that the bonfire should take place later in the evening. A motion expressing to Dean Straub the satisfaction of the alumni at hia return for Home coming, and the hepe that he would soon return to his usual health, was passed. A committee was appointed to draw an amendment to the con stitution of the Alumni association by which the annual meeting of alumni should be held at Home in stead of at commencement time as has been done heretofore. It was decided that at alumni reunions the grads should be grouped according to the time when they were at school, and that the traditional 10 and 25-year reunions should be maintained as usual. “HOG” FUEL TO BE USED New Power Plant Nears Completion, Conveyor Being Built The construction of the conveyor, for the “hog” fuel which is to be! used under the boilers in the new power plant, is nearly complete. It is the large wooden trestle-like struc ture in the rear of the new plant and will be used in unloading the fuel when it arrives, and stacking it as well as for feeding the furnaces. Another new feature in the vicinity of the new power plant is the gaso line filling pump which has been in stalled for the benefit of the several [“flivvers” in the service of the Uni I versity. FRIARS ELECT John Piper. Douglas Farrell. Henry Karpensteln. » 0. A. C. Second, Two Points Behind Winners; Tetz is First of Oregon Runners Idaho won the cross-country race held previous to the big game yes terday with 30 points, O. A. C. was second with 32 points, and Oregon third with 58. Williams of Idaho was the winner, covering the three mile course in 15:59.4, which is fairly good time for the course. Wil liams finished strong and enlarged the lead he held over Butts and Graves of O. A. C., who finished second and third in the order named, with a long sprint at the finish. Idaho Evenly Balanced The Idaho quintet of runners were evenly balanced and with the exception of one runner, who finish ed fourteenth, came in closely bunched, annexing the first, fourth, fifth and sixth places. The Idaho runners in the order in which they finished, were: Williams, Hillman, Penwell, Zowder and Crow. O. A. V. gave the Vandals a close race for their money, placing runners second, third, eighth, ninth and tenth. Butts, Graves, Mason, Bartholomew and Walker were the Aggie runners, finishing in the or der named. Tetz was the first Oregon man to come in and he made a pretty finish, passing the last three Aggie run ners by a fast sprint. The Oregon runners finished with Tetz first, Mc Call eleventh, Keating twelfth, Bob son thirteenth, and Muller fifteenth. Oregon's Showing Good All of the Oregon runners, with the exception of Robson, were run ning their first race in varsity com petition, and their showing is re garded as creditable for their first time out. Oregon is undergoing the process of building up the nucleus of another strong cross-country team. The graduation of Walkley and Koepp left the varsity without a single veteran capable of planing first and second among strong com petition. It takes time to make a cross-country runner, and Oregon expects big things yet from those men who strove bo hard to win yes terday. Ed Haney Is Winner of Senior Contest Ed. Haney is not speaking to the unwashed multitude. Indeed, why should he—the most envied senior on the campus, 'the proud owner of the best labial befringement, or as our friend Webster says “that part of the beard which grows on the upper lip.” The consequence for this superiority is the possession of the handsome Auto-strop razor pre sented by the senior class for the best down produced by a wearer of the distinguished sombrero. Rules for judging were not so much by quantity as quality, tex ture, ticklesomeness and formation, according to Head Judge Leader. “Most of the mustaches were in scrimmage order,” he stated. The other judges on the momentuous de cision, Cres Maddock, and Preshy Campbell, had to talk the Colonel out of voting for one that was hand some in blobs with bate patches in between. He was strong for it be cause it reminded him so much of the one he grew in the boar war that had to be encouraged along with mange cure. LECTURE TO BE GIVEN ON MONDAY EVENING W. C. Schuppel, assistant manager of Oregon Life, will give a talk Monday evening on the subject “Presentation in Salesmanship,” at 8 o’clock in room 105 Commerce i building. On Tuesday evening at 7 p.m. Mr. Schuppel will speak on “Closing in Salesmanship,” in the same place. The lectures are open to all University students and townpeople who are interested in salesmanship. Throng of 12,000 Sees Varsity Lose to Annual Rivals Price, Beaver Pilot, Makes Touchdown in Second Quarter; Oregon Misses Chance to Score in Third By MONTE BYERS Just as the sun was dipping behind the coast range, a frenzied mass of humanity. 12,000 strong, saw Oregon go down to glorious defeat to her traditional rival, the Oregon Aggies. The first Homecoming game ever lost, the first game with a collegiate team ever lost on Hayward field. This is the first Aggie victory since the hectic war year, 1917, and was a well-earned victory as the 6-0 score will indi cate. From chalk mark to chalk mark the two teams fought for every inch and the old grads will have something to take home with them—the fact that Oregon is still putting out her fighting teams who go down to defeat in a glorious fighting fashion.

Some of the grads seemed to have a bit of trouble finding their (Continued on page three) The Aggie chance came in the second quarter and they took ad vantage of it. With the ball on hi* own 26-yard line, Price, Beaver pilot, elected to carry the ball through the right side of the Oregon line. He sifted through, shook off a couple of tacklers, side-stepped Chapman, and steamed on for a touchdown, thus completing a 74 yard run from the line of scrim mage. He was aided in the early part of his run by perfect interfer ence from the Orange and Blaek line. Mautz Block* Kick Besides this there were two serious advances on either goal line. Boyken ran an intercepted pass to Oregn’s 13-yard line, but a penalty and a fumble robbed them of their chance. Oregon had one opportunity to score in the third period, when Mautz blocked one of Gill’s kick*, which deflected off the Oregon end and went high in the air near the Beaver goal. Mautz made a frantic grab at the pigskin, but it slipped through his arms and Price recovered on the Aggie five-yard line and on the next play Gill kicked 40 yards out of \ danger. The fans saw the Oregon line play a whale of a game against that beefy bunch of forwards from the Aggie camp. They saw a line that Beeped through often and stop Ag gie backs behind their own line of scrimmage. Every man was a tower * of strength, but the signs were fav orable to the Beavers. Those 12,000 people saw a great game played- in the Oregon back field. One young man will be long remembered for the last game he played against the Oregon Aggies. Hal Chapman was a good sized half of the Oregon backfield. He plough ed consistently through the opposing line, picked his plays well and did some awfully nice kicking, consider ing the caliber of passing from cen ter he received. Two or three time* the passback was so low that he waa compelled to kick the best way pos sible. Terjesen Injured The Oregon offensive started out well and was in mid-Aggie territory when Terjesen was hurt and had to be relieved by Sax. This injury may have been the turning point of the game. As it is, it will never be known. Anyway the Great Dane was crashing the line in excellent style and his absence seriously in jured the varsity chances. Sax, the midget half, smeared him self with glory in his one and only game against the Aggies in an Ore gon uniform. The little back tore through the big Aggies several times for good substantial gains. Once in Aggie environs he had a pos sible chance to convert the game in to an Oregon victory, when he failed to gather an Oregon pass. The ball was slightly out of his reach and the chance for a score went glim mering. With the exception of two (Continued bn page four)
