Frosh-Soph Mix Next Saturday VOLUME XXVI UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1924 NUMBER 8 TO BEAT OREGON Average Weight of Badger Squad is 176; Tucker and Weber Expected to Star LETTERMEN ON ELEVEN Leo Frank Has Team That Is Master of Deceptive And Complicated Plays First comes the challenging, snap py bark, “P-U” and then the crash ing of bodies as the varsity football team rips into the scrubs, who rep resent Pacific university during scrimage for this week. Joe Maddock, a .firm believer in a fast team, is driving his squad at top speed so as to shape the Ore gon eleven for the Pacific contest which is but two days away. Hard Schedule is Faced Although Pacific is not a member of the coast conference, the im portance of the game lies in the fact that after this contest, Oregon will have to immediately start out on its Stiff schedule of a big game on each Saturday. This means that Oregon will have to strike its regu- i lar season form on this coming Sat urday as the time for practice on “fundamentals” will have ended. The showing that Pacific made against Washington State on last Saturday will have little bearing on the coming contest. For coach Frank has worked all season, shap ing his squad 'for their biggest game, that is with Oregon. With but a handful of men, the Badger coach Went over*to Pullman and played his team against one of the strong est teams in the northwest. The Cougars sent in a host of reserves and ran their offense at top speed against the light and powerful Badgers. However when Leo J. Frank brings his eleven over to Eugene, on Saturday, his squad will have the advantage over Oregon in one respect in as much as the Badgers have practically a letterman team. So while Maddock has been drilling his team on straight football, coach Frank has spent this year in drill ing his veteran squad on the finer points of the grid game. The Badgers have a rather com plicated and baffling style of play, which coupled with their game ag gressiveness, makes them a formid able aggregation. • • Oregon Has Clean Record Coach Frank has been at the Pa cific university for three years and it has been by his own personal effort and hard work that Pacific has risen from a low and obscurg state to rather a respectable posi tion for so small a school. When one realizes that the material for a grid team is limited to but 100, who make up the masculine part of the student body, the feat which the Badger coach has accomplished seems rather remarkable. Oregon will be defending a clean record against Pacific on Saturday, for this college has never defeated Oregon. However in looking through the annals of football, a (Continued on Page Four) Fraternity Council Shelves Agitation To Elevate Frosh Vote is 8 to 4 in Favor of Retaining Oregon Tradition—-Several Houses Are Not Represented at Meeting The Inter-fraternity council went on record last evening by a vote of 8 to 4, as not favoring any change in its former attitude towards the position of freshman presidency. Twelve out of the eighteen fraternities were represented at the meeting. This action was taken because, in the discus ANNUAL MIX IS GIN SANCTION Constructive Destruction Object of Underclass Mix-up Next Saturday OPPOSITION WITHDRAWN With faculty opposition with drawn, plans for the Under-Class Mix, to be held on Kincaid field next Saturday, »are progressing apidly, it was announced last night by Walter Malcolm, general chair man of the Mix. With committees working on ideas with which to prevent the crowds from jamming and for the construction of bleachers, all in dications now point to a peppy party. Senior cops and Bill Hay ward, who will officiate, will be on hand to settle any diverse argu ments which may arise. Included in the committee will be a corps of doctors to care for un derclassmen. The committeemen are: Sherman Smith, field and bleach ers; Paul Shinniger, properties; A1 Sinclair, Kenneth Stevenson, Rod ney Keating, Clarence Toole and Warren Small, field officials. In addition, Coach Maddock, Bill Rein hart and Harry Scott will assist. SATURDAY LAST DAY FOR ADDING COURSES Saturday is the last day on which ourses may be added until the first day of the winter term. A fee must be paid now for the addition of courses and though no fee will be charged on the first day of next term, it will be resumed immedi ately after. Courses may be dropped without a fee on the first day of each new term, and after that, with the pay ment of the fee, a course may be dropped upon the direction of the adviser at any time. The petition to drop courses says, “Dropping of courses will be allowed at any time by direction of the adviser, pro vided the student’s program is not reduced to less than 12 hours, ex cept that the required courses of English A, military and physical education may not be dropped with out the consent of the head of the department giving the course.” PLUNGING HALFBACK AND LANKY END ARE IN SQUAD Two years ago Oregon had a plunging, rearing backfield man, a youngster for whom a great future was predicted for the next season. He worked perfectly with huge Hunk Latham and Hal Chapman, and made his share of yardage in every game he entered. He failed to come back to school, however, so he was saved over for this year. This man is Ward Johnson^ known occasionally as “Wild Bill” John son, because of his reckless abandon when he enters a football game. Two years ago he was called the ‘ ‘ hardest fighting backfield man in the con ference,” and he is-expected to keep that title this year. Johnson plays halftack on the varsity, and his “big stuff” is going through the enemy's line with the ball safely tucked in his stom ach. Although he is six feet tall, he weighs but 158 pounds. He is wiry and strong, and has worlds of speed. Johnson is 22 years old. When the Oregon line stands up right, down at right end one young man towers head and shoulders above all of his fighting mates. He is Bob Mautz, called “Woolworth Building Mautz. ” because of his resemblance to the world’s highest skyscraper. But Mautz can handle his six feet four inches and 180 pounds in a most effective wav, as many an op posing line found out last year. His arms are stretched out in proportion to his body, and this makes him one o-f the best pass grabbers along the coast. He propells himself in a rapid manner, and in addition is speedy and hard hitting. Both Mautz and Johnson have been going good in practice so far this year, and are expected to aid materially Oregon's chances to comei out ahead this season. 'sion following a motion that | was made and seconded to the ! effect that the position of the ; president of the freshman! class he elevated, several fra-! ternit'ies made it known that they j would prohibit their freshmen from ! running for that office. It was conceded that no good could come from a" motion backed j only half-heartedly* so it was with- J drawn. The council, then, in or der to take a definite stand, passed a measure of not favoring any change in the traditional attitude toward the freshman presidency. The action of the Inter-fraternity council comes as one more* link in the chain of events following the fesignation of Walter A. Cushman, fraternity pledge, soon after his election to freshman presidency last Friday. Following shortly after the resignation which left the year ling class without a head, sentiment was voiced by a numbef of the fraternities on the campus to pledge themselves to support the new president of the freshmen, be lieving his office should be an honorable and respected position in the University of Oregon. Y.M-y.W MIX TO OE ON EVE OF BIG 6AME The annual Y. M.-Y. W. mix will be held this year in connection with the Whitman rally, Friday night, October 24, according to the plans of the committee in charge of the affair. The mix will be staged in the Armory immediately after the rally and a large attend ance is expected because of the fact that this is Coach Maddock’s first season here. The committee, of which Ted Gil lenwaters is chairman, has already arranged for some of the numbers o<f the program, which is promised to be short and snappy. Several more numbers are needed however. Anyone having a feature that could be used that evening is asked to communicate with the chairman as soon as possible. A new and inter esting program will be rendered by local talent from both the campus and downtown, said Gillenwaters. Neva Service has charge of the refreshments which, according to [the chairman, will be simple and ; wholesome but refreshing. An ad mittance fee of 10 cents will be charged to defray the costs of the food. The Yellow .Fang, the campus equivalent of a Sunday supplement, which displays the scandals of the University to the world each year Lat rally time, is again being planned by Sigma Delta Chi this year and will be a feature of the program. The completed program will be announced as soon as the other features can be arranged. The members of the committee are as follows: Ted Gillenwaters, chairman; Romavne Brand, Jim Forestel, Hal Lundberg, Neva Ser vice, Florence Buck, and Florence Magowan. A. S. U. 0.

Journalistic Jig To Be Jazziest Jam Of Year Cider Toppers Will Convene at Boot Cracking Bee All those journalists who haven’t been mangled in the delicate in tricacies of a typewriter, or who have been declared immune from the “hoof and mouth’’ disease— talking to everyone and then run ning over and writing it all up, are expected to be at the Hayward dance emporium at eight bells in the second dog watch with 35 copper Lincolnites, a taste for eider and a mania for dancing. To play Frank and Ernest with you, it’s this—the school of jour nalism is throwing its annual Jamboree, where the innocent re porter forgets his meekness, clanks the faculty members in the shins, and calls them “Old Wheel,” and gets away. Yes, it will be good—they al ways are, and any journalist with enough brass to get a story out of the pioneer ought to be there. So find the glad rags and steam up to -the hall—but don’t lay on heavy with the fancy duds, or there may be cause to go home in a barrel. As a special feature Magical Mulkey will put on one of his vaudeville acts. footballIly HEADS PROGRAM Yell King Martin to Have Charge of Pep Meeting At-A. S. U. 0.

This is the first time in the history of the University that such a thing has been incor porated, and is duo to the fact that no qualifying foreign scholar could take advantage of this year’s scholarship fund. The fund will be a permanent institution, and any freshman wo man, needing the money and pre senting adequate reasons can take advantage of the loan to the maxi mum amount—$50.00. The money may be loaned in one payment but two loans of $25.00 each, is con sidered preferable. Applications must be made a few days in ad vance through Mrs. Virginia Judy Esterly, dean of women, or Dean H. Walker, and a committee com posed of Dean Walker and Jeanne Gay will decide on the qualifying applicants. Applications must bear the signa tures of two guarantors who are willing to endorse the applicants. Loans will be made in long time payments to suit the borrower’is Convenience and six per cent inter est will be asked. This is neces sary to keep the fund on a strictly business basis. The application* may be made immediately or at any time during the school year. Applicants are Few This fund is made possible by tne very small number of application* which were received for the for eign scholarship for which the mon iey was originally intended. “Ap parently the low value of the frane is a principal reason for this con dition,” says D. A. Robinson, as sistant diroctor of the international division of the American Council [on Education, in a letter to Jeanne Gay, head of the foreign scholar ship fund. “Where formerly a stu dent paid from 1200 to 1500 francs toward her passage, she now has to [pay 1800 to 2000. There is con sequently a larger draft on family jbudgets to aid scholarship students. “There were 04 applications of I which 20 have beon satisfactory. [Insufficient preparation, financial {reasons, health, and similar causes [have operated to reduce the nom jber of candidates. I am sure yon. will agree that it is highly desirabl# I to maint ain a high standard and .withhold the scholarships where [adequate candidates are lacking than to lower standards simply for the purpose of filling the scholar ships. “I trust that your greatly ap preciated cooperation will continue (Continued on Page Four) EVEN RAINY DAYS FAIL TO JOG MEMORY ON LOST UMBRELLAS Eight perfectly good uattached umbrellas at large on a rainy day. That is the report from the Lost and Found bureau in the University jdepot. And that’s not all. Last .spring there were at one time forty unclaimed umbrellas. Umbrellas are not the only things, turned in at the bureau. In fact, almost any article one can think of may bo found there. Since the women lrnve taken up the mode of wearing scarfs, Mr. Fisher has been busier than ever, and could almost | set up a shop which handled scarfs, I fur chokers, and umbrellas exclu jsively. Fountain pens, silver pencils, and keys! The display would put to | shame that of an ordinary shop. Some of them have been there since ithe bureau was started on January 123, of this year and others have leome in very recently. Yesterday morning at nine o 'clock one hat, two caps, and two coat8 had been, turned in and as the day was rainy, at least half a dozen umbrellas were expected before dark. From all indications, the fairer sex is not more absent-minded than the men; for to offset their compacts, beads, bracelets, gloves, and silk handkerchiefs, there are cuff links, knives of every descrip tion, keys, keys, and more keys, men’s watches and fobs, bathing suits, gloves, and glasses. There are several purses; but as they were all found on the campus, no great wealth was discovered in them. The cupboard where all the loet and found articles are kept is six feet by six feet and securely pad locked. Mr. Fisher has the keys to it in his private office and se«a that no one but the rightful owb (Continued on Page Four)
