VOLUME XXVI UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1924 NUMBER 11 Sixteen Men Selected on Team Going to Palo Alto For Saturday’s Contest MEN LEAVE TOMORROW In Two Pre-season Tilts, Cardinals Have Failed To Make Good Showing Light scrimmage tonight and then tomorrow Maddoek and his men will leave for one of the hard est games this year. At 12:10 to morrow afternoon, Coach Maddoek and about 17 players will depart for Palo Alto where they will play against Stanford on Saturday. * When Oregon lines up against the Cardinals this week-end, the final outcome will be very uncertain. "Pop” Warner’s eleven have played two pre-season games, and in both contests, Stanford failed to make their expected showing. The Cardinals however, have a world of veteran material, two famous coaches and a hefty team. Oregon Line Good Oregon on the other hand has a new combination, few lettermen, and a new coach. Regardless of these facts, Joe Maddoek has moulded a good college eleven, but this year, Stanford and Washing ton have an outlay that has taken three or more years to accumulate and develop. Therefore, Oregon cannot be expected to shine against such veteran teams. Against Stanford, Oregon will have a line that should consider ably annoy the Cardinal line plungers. The varsity Ibackfield also is made up of some very good material and should be able to put on a fairly successful offensive drive. Stanford Squad Is Strong Taking stock of Stanford, their squad is made up wholly of letter men. Warner has lost only two guards and two halfbacks, and these positions already are filled with excellent material. Ernie Nevors, the plunging back, will play his first football game this season against Oregon. The "Cardinal flash” has been out of football for several weeks due to an injured leg. This will be his in itial appearance this season and he no doubt will start the new year off with his usual dash of bril liancy. The Stanford squad is a very heavy team, in fact one of the heftiest aggregations in the con ference. From advance reports the Cardinals will average around 195. With only the advantage of weight, regardless of ability, Stanford should be able to stop any college line offensive. Maddoek, Chooses Lineup Maddoek has already picked 16 men to make the trip and this squad (Continued on Page Four) Life Saving Corps Chooses Officers At Recent Meeting At a meeting last week, the Women’s Life Saving Corps was organized and is now making plans for a life saving demonstra tion which will be held shortly befose Christmas.

UNIVERSITY PLAYERS TO PRESENT COMEDY Season’s First Production To Begin Thursday Tickets are now on sale at Guild hall for the comedy “Mr. Pirn Passes By,” which will be pre sented by the dramatics depart ment in Guild hall Thursday, Fri day and Saturday nights of this week. This is the first production of the term for the University com pany. “Mr. Pirn Passes By” is an English comedy by A. A. Milne, author of “The Dover Road,”] which was presented last year by j the Company and which was very J well received. ‘ ‘ Mr. Pirn Passes j By, ’ ’ was presented here during i summer school and is to be repeated new with practically the same cast. This comedy has for its setting, the Marden house in Buckingham shire, England. It is a satire against the seriousness with which the English people take conven tions. In the Marden house live George Marden and his young ! bride, Olivia, and a few chance re marks made unintentionally by the kindly Mr. Caraway Pirn, who has dropped into their midst unexpec ted and uninvited, come very near to wrecking the peace and quiet of the heretofore happy household. The leads will be played by Dar rell Larsen, as George Marden, and i Gerda Brown, as Oliva Marden. The parts of Dinah and Brian Strange, two young lovers, uill be taken by Elizabeth Kerr and Bernard Mc Phillips. Beth Fariss is cast as . Lady Marden, mother of George j Marden, and Henry Sheldon will portray the part of Mr. Pim, the forgetful old gentleman. Beth Far iss and Henry Sheldon are the new members of the cast. Tickets for the play will be 75 ' cents for reserved seats and 50 cents for general admission. BLISS AND GOODING ARE HARD HITTERS IN REVAMPED LINE-UP It isn’t often that you find a short, stocky man playing end on a conference football team. But that is what Jack Bliss does, and he is scrapping all the time. There are few more feared tacklers on the Oregon first string than Jack. He hits them low and he hits them hard. This is his second year on the varsity, but his first year at end. Last year Jack was a regular at guard, and the means of piling up a good many of the line plunges of the opposing teams. .Bliss will probably get a chance to play tackle a good part of the time this year, alternating posi tions with Captain Diek Beed. Here he is a good man also, as his weight close to the ground makes him a dangerous man when some body is to be stopped. Although one of the shortest men on the squad, Bliss weighs 180 pounds, and its all honest, solid beef. He is always in condition, and able to play an entire game without any trouble to himself. One of the new regulars in the revamped "Oregon line is Bert Good ing. He turned out this year, just one of the candid^es for the team. However, soon his size and heighth won him a chance at tackle. What he did when his chance came was to show up so good that he won for himself a regular position. Now he is one of Oregon’s best bets at the tackle position, and much more will probably be heard about this big boy in the big conference tilts ' later in the season. A little ex- j perience, and watch him fight and go- } Gooding is also of substantial size. His six feet of height sup ports a solid 180 pounds. He is proportionately built, and is really; much bigger than he looks. He is a hard man to shove back, a man who is afraid of nothing, a man who is there every minute during the game. The Cardinals may be a bit surprised when they hit his side of the tin*, and more sur prised yet when he hits them. GLASS PARTIES SET FOR FRIDAY All Affairs are Scheduled For 8:30 O’clock; Women To Have Transportation ALL WILL BE INFORMAL Unique Features Promised On Programs of Evening; Dances Will be No-date On next Friday night, October 17, the dances of the senior, junior, sophomore and freshman classes will se held. Each class promises to have ;he “biggest and best” affair of ;he evening, and plans are accord* ugly being made. From statements )f committee heads, each party will 3e of an informal style. The senior party will take place it the College Side Inn, A1 Clark’s ‘Campus Tramps” .furnishing the music. Ted Oillenwaters, president 3f the class, states that it will be a ‘hard times” no-date dance. Trans portation to the affair will be fur aished for the women. There will ilso be refreshments and a feature. Campus Attire Requested The juniors announce that their party at the Campa Shoppe will be, ;he liveliest of the evening. The | ‘ Pi.id Pipers ’ ’ will be depended j jpon for the music, says Maurice Warnock, general chairman. The went will be exclusively for juniors, and any intruders from other classes will be roughly handled, as will any juniors who appear in other than eampus attire. The feature will be staged by Paul Krausse and Jack Seabrook. Women will be furnished with transportation so that all will attend, although it is a no-date affair. The refresh ments will be punch and ice-cream Jones. Sophomores in Men’s Gym The men’s gym will be the scene of the sophomore dance, staies Ward Oook, committee chairman.

To assure the attendance of all the women, means of transporta (Continued on Page Four) Y.M.C.A. DRIVE OPENS WITH RALLY LUNCHEON The campus Y. M. C. A. financial campaign was officially opened yes terday noon with a pep rally lun cheon at the hut for those connected with the drive. Prof. Warren D. Smith was the main speaker, telling or the good that he had seen the Y. M. C. A. do, especially in the Orient. President Willard Marshall, commit tee heads and the team captains also addressed the gathering. ‘ ‘ When I was in college, ’ ’ said Professor Smith, “I wouldn’t have a thing to do with the Y. M. C. A. I thought of it as a ‘goody-goody’ place where no one but ‘sissies’ met, and I never contributed a dollar to its funds. But after watching the good work of the organization in the Orient, I am very ashamed of my record. ’ ’ There are many men on the campus that have the same idea of the Y. M. C. A. as he did during his college career, Professor Smith pointed out, and it will take mu argument by the canvassers to per suade them to believe to the contrary. Willard Marshall told of the work of the “Y” on the campus, prais ing especially the work of Mrs. C. K. Donnelly, head of the employment bureau. Algot Westergjen and Os car McKinney told of the organiza tion of the campaign and advised the canvassers to pick the most ac cessible men to solicit. Ed Kirtley gave a short talk on the benefits of the organization and assured the men that their task will be easier than that of former years in that they have tangible statistics to prove their points. The team captains also ad dressed the meeting, promising that their respective teams would do their share of the work. , At the Y, M. C. A. luncheon today, (Continued on Page Three) Humor Section of Emerald Ink Is Outlined Plans Made at Meeting of Hammer and Coffin The work of the Hammer and Cof fin section of the Emerald Ink, the Emerald’s monthly magazine, was outlined and assigned at a meeting of Hammer and Coffin last night at the Anchorage. At this meeting seven students who are trying out for the staff of the section were present. Several writers have already com pleted material for the humorous section, and some drawings are al ready in. The writing will include a futuristic dash' by Junior Seton, a feature writer on the former Sun day Emerald, and short articles and jokes by other writers. Art work, under the direction of Bolph Kelp, will consist of cartoons and sketches done by various students. A deadline for art work is set for next Saturday night, while writers will have until the following Wed nesday to get in their mateVial. A minimum of 300 words, or one sketch, is required in order that a student be eligible to a staff posi tion, it is announced. Those present at the meeting last night were Larry Riddle, Bruce Todd, Webster Jones, Junior Seton, Rich ard Syring and George H. Godfrey, writers; Vigil Wylie, Art Gray, Wayne Leland, Warren Small, and Joe Brill, artisFs; James W. Leake, Frank Logan and Pete Laurs, busi ness men. , HOMECOMING BONFIRE PLANS ARE UNDER WAY George Hill Appointed Head Of Blaze Committee George Hill has been appointed chairman of the frosh bonfire com mittee, by the freshman executive board, the "whole committee to be under the charge of Tom Robertson, the assistant chairman of Homecom ing. The bonfire is always one of the biggest features of Homecoming, and the freshmen are planning to make a good job of it. “The class of ’28 is going to put on the biggest and best bonfire in the history of the University,’’ says George Hill. “This is a test of our ability as freshmen, and it means that every member of. the class must show his cooperation and enthusiasm. Freshmen, Let’s Go! Let’s show ’em what we can do. ’ ’ The bonfire will be lit at the be ginning of the rally on Kincaid field at 8:15 p. m., Friday night, October 31, after the noise parade. The stack is limited to a height of 35 feet, and $150 in expense. ‘ ‘ Every year it has been the cus tom for the freshman class to build a bonfire and ‘put it over big,’ ” says Robertson. ‘ ‘ This year I am confident that there will be no change in the tradition. The fresh men seem to have the necessary amount of enthusiasm and are cer tainly not lacking in ability. I think we can all look forward to a big, successful bonfire.” The work of the other Homecom ing committees is gradually shaping into definite form, each member of the various groups having his spe cial work to do. The idea of the di rectorate has proven most successful and efficient in getting the largest amount of work done in the shortest time. MANY STUDENTS TO SEE GAME WITH STANFORD There is every indication that there will be a hundred or more students who will either drive down to the Oregon-Stanford game next Saturday, or go by .train. Several of the campus fords have been requisitioned for that purpose and I many students are still looking j for an economic method of travel. The fare to Palo Alto and return, i without sleeper, is $31.75. A root- \ er's section will be formed at Stan- I ford for the Oregon crowd, if i enough attend to make such a plan ! feasible. COLLEGES HOLD ABILITY TESTS Williams College Freshmen To Compare Ability With Local First-year Men NEW MEN GIVEN TEST Establishment of Basis of Entrance Explained As Purpose of Examinations A comparative physical ability test is being held between incom ing freshmen at Williams college, Massachusetts, and the entering freshmen at the University of Ore gon. This test contains an eight-foot fence climb, a one hundred yard dash, high jump, rope climb of twenty-five feet and a fifty-yard swim. This test was started this week and will continue for six consecutive days. After the six days, the records of the test will be compiled by both schools and the results sent to each other. Widmer in Charge The test will be ruled by point system and the time taken for each event will be timed with a one tenth second stop watch. Earl Widmer, assistant professor of phys ical education, has charge of the test here and is running the events off as rapidly as possible. Every member of the freshman class is being required to take this test. Some of the purposes of this test are to determine the physical abil- j ity of the entering freshman in a western college versus those of an eastern college. Another main rea son is that the physical education department may determine what kind of a physical requirement should be placed on incoming fresh men. Will Require Training When certain standards have been determined high schools of the state will have to give their stu-! dents physical education courses in order to have University require ments. Thiq physical education re quirement will be as important as other University entrance credits. (Continued on Page Three) Dr. Henry D. Sheldon, dean of the school of education, has nearly completed a book which will con tain the history of the University of Oregon from the time that it was established until the present»time. Dean Sheldon expects the book off the press by 1926, which is the fiftieth anniversary of the found ing of the University. Most of the material, which Dr. Sheldon has been working upon for the past four years, has been ob tained from the back files of the Oregonian. Some has been ob tained from official reports and archives of the University. He is lacking in private sources, such as diaries and student letters, and ex presses the wish that any one who has any would permit him to make use of the material. The book is narrative and ar ranged in chronological order. It is divided into chapters according to administrations. The first will relate attempts to found and estab lish the University. Presdident Campbell’s administration, which will cover about half of the book, will be divided into two chapters. Dean Sheldon first came to the University in 1900; and since that time, he has been here constantly with the exception of three years, from 1911 to 1914, when he was at the University of Pittsburg. He is the author of another book called “Student Life and Customs,” which was published by Appleton and Company. PLEDGING ANNOUNCED Lambda Psi announces the pledg ing of Clifford Huhn of Lebanon, Oregon. j Cider and Doughnuts Features of Tea For Frosh Women Doughnuts, cider and dancing will be the password for the spon sor-sponseo ten this afternoon in the sun parlor of the Woman’s building, from 4:00 to 6:00. This is under the auspices of the Wo man’s League, and is the first of a series of Wednesday after noon teas, which will be held at the same place and time each week, hereafter. Lists of the sponsors and their sponsees have been posted in the library, and it is expected that by this time all of the upper classmen will have reached their sponsees personally or by tele phone and arranged to escort them to the affair. Those who will be able to do this are supposed to provide a substitute. In this way, it is hoped that ac quaintances among the women will be strengthened. Admission charges will be five cents a couple, and an additional ten cents will be charged for cider and doughnuts. RHODES SCHOLARSHIP TRY-OUTS SCHEDULED Committee to Hear Eight Candidates Tonight The Rhodes Scholarship commit tee is to meet tonight with the candidates, who have signified their intentions of trying out for the scholarship. The try-outs, which are to be in the office of Dean Dyment, begin at 7:00 o’clock, and will follow each other closely. Up to the presont time, eight people have signified their inten tion of being present this evening. Three of the number are seniors in the University. It is probable that it will be necessary to have a second or hold over try-out later. Those who are unsuccessful at this time will be forced to wait until the Fall of 1920, as no other Rhodes scholar will be sent from Oregon until that time. (The successful mian or imen in to night’s try-outs will be sent (before the state committee to compete with representatives from other col leges. The last winner of the Rhodes Scholarship from the Uni versity of Oregon was Arthur Rosebraugh. Members of the committee before whom the candidates will appear tonight are George Rebec, of the graduate school; Warren D. Smith, head of the geology department; and Donald Barnes, professor of history. Dean Colin V. Dyment was forced to withdraw from the local committee, because of his appointment as head of the state committee, to take the place left vacant by the illness of President Campbell. Only the successful candidates for the scholarship will be given out. These will be known after tonight’s try-outs. Miss Quale Speaks of Help Foreign Students Derive From Friendship Fund TEXTBOOKS ARE NEEDED All Student Relief Funds Are Used for Purposes Of Health and Education Miss Margaret Quale, who has just returned to America from Czecho slovakia, after spending tfco time since 1919 in Europe, talked before a special meeting of the student uouncil yesterday afternoon, about the Student Friendship fund and the help it was giving to students in Europe. The national student union, she said, had helped 150,000 students and professors in 19 countries so far, this including the help given to Smyrna and Japan in the last year. Condi tions at present are very much bet ter than they have been, she inform ed the council. 'There is no actual death from starvation in Europe today, but so many were underfed in the past that they fall an easy prey to tuberculosis. Out of the 10,000 men and women that the Stu dent Belief takes care of, 1300 were examined. Of these, 1000 were found either tuberculor or pre-tuberculor. The average number of wounds on a man’s body was 11, and one per son was found to have 26. Medical Help Needed The greatest need now in Bussia, Miss Quale stated, is not so much for food, but for medical assistance. The doctors have not anasthetics and no medicines for epidemics which arise. There is also a great need of books. In one lodging place which she vis ited, she found 250 boys studying out of one economics book. Mlany times at 4 o’clock in the morning stu dents will form a line waiting for the library to open at 9 o’clock so that they may get a necessary text. Above all the hardships undergone in the efforts to obtain an educa tion, there is the desire to have more friendly relations between all the Eu ropean countries. At an international conference which was held to con template the needs of the students; where all explosives possible in Eu rope were thrown together; where everyone had a chip on his shoulder and dared everyone else to knock it off; a demonstration showing that international and inter-racial distinc tion could be restrained when a Ger. man student who had been bitter against the French delegate, walked back to where he sat, before the close of the conference, and shook hands with him. The young people of Europe realize that the older peo ple do not know the meaning of friendship and also realize that it is the duty of the younger people to bring about this feeling between the nations. It is very hard for students to (Continued on Page Four) CAMPUS TOGS ARE IN ORDER AT DANCE GIVEN BY JUNIORS The password will be “I wear cords!” not “I have a junior cer tificate! ” And because they are of the class of ’26, “the biggest and best,”1 they guarantee the snappiest, live liest, best dance of all that will be given Friday—and every other class giving one. The “Junior Cord Dance,” will be a no-date affair, held at the Campa Shoppe beginning at 8:30 sharp. The “Pi id Pipers” will be there en masse and promise special numbers in honor of the occasion. Thfe com mittee in charge, with Maurice Warnock as general chairman, has issued several commands to all mem.^ bers of the class. Anyone dating to the dance will be mill-raced as wifi anyone dressed in more formal clothes than those of the campus. All people wearing green caps or sombreros will be ostracized forc ibly. In forma lity—will be the note, and even the ‘ ‘ eats ’ ’ will be in formal—punch and ice cream cones being in order. In case there are any girls who have broken legs or ankles and still desire to go to the “bust,” as do all loyal juniors, they will be per mitted to call Steele Winterer, Maurice Warnock, Bob Gardner, Ken Stephenson, or Bus Byers and ask for a lift. This will not be counted as a date. Of course there will be a feature, —Paul Krausse and Jack Seabrook. They are not giving away any se crets until Friday night, however. The committee in charge of the dance is as follows: Maurice War nock, general chairman; refresh ments, Adrienne Hazard, Carl Dahl, Helen Webber; decorations, Bud Pearson, Chuck Norton, Dorothy Myers, Imogene Lewis; patronesses, Gladys Noren; feature, Paul Kraus se, Jack Seabrook; publicity, Mlar garet Vincent. The committee is desirous that everyone come, alone or in a erotjd. Dates are not in order.
