VOLUME XXVI UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1924 NUMBER 14 OREGON BATTLES Varsity Fight to be Tested By Cardinal Skill in First Coast Conference Contest ‘WATCH/ SAYS MADDOCK Ernie Nevers to Enter Tilt Against U. of 0. Eleven; Game Interests Rivals Can Oregon in the face of innum erable odds defeat the Cardinals t Stanford^ the strongest pennant contender on the coast, is figuring very much on hurdling successfully their first game in the conference schedule. However, the scrappy Oregonians are fighting to the last ditch today in order to start 'the season off with a clean slate. At 2:30 this afternoon a much discussed question will be answer ed ; that is, ‘ ‘ Whether a green and revised team which has grown up with a fighting spirit can beat a veteran squad that is very self-con fident as to its prowess. ’ ’ In an swer to this question, Maddock says, “Watch Oregon,” few the varsity'is going to furnish some real opposition to the southerners. Punch^Seems Lacking Throughout all of the pre-season games that Stanford has played this year, they have seemed to lack the punch which characterizes a championship squad. “Pop” War ner attributes this “lack of punch” .to the fact that the aggressive Er nie Nevers has been missing from the lineup. Today Nevers is going to start the game, and coast critics think that Nevers will snap the team into its proper offensive power. In counting oyer the advantages of the Cardinals over the Ore gonians, the fighting spirit of the varsity should offset the advantages of a heavier and more experienced team, a turf field and a change of climate which the Stanford eleven holds. With two men in the Oregon back field that have never before play ed varsity .football, the probability of the offensive work of the backs standing up under the strain is problematical. But both Jones and Vitus are doped to strengthen con siderably the power of the team. Holes to be Scarce After watching the varsity line in action against Pacific, and should the linemen remember their “fund amentals,” Ernie Nevers and the rest of the backs are going to have a hard time finding openings. The Oregon eleven is seriously handicapped in one respect, inas much as the combination of Mad dock’s machine needs a few more weeks of additional practice to per fect that finished appearance. It will be with considerable in terest that coaches at W. S. C., Idaho and Washington will watch to see if the Oregon team will be come a possible factor in the -pen nant race this year. Whether Ore gon should win or not, the showing they make against Stanford will be but a starter to what the team will be later in the season. The results of the game will be shown play by play on the big (Contimied on Page Four) x Tea Will Honor Dean of Women This Afternoon This afternoon is the time when all University women and housemothers are invited to at tend the tea. in honor of Dean \ irginia Judy Esterly, in the Alumnitoiall. This is given under the auspices of the Women’s League, with the executive coun cil as hostesses, and is an ex cellent chance for all the women on the campus to meet Dean Es terly, and make new acquain tances and renew old ones. The receiving line will include Dean Esterly, Mrs. P. L. Camp bell, Miss Florence Magowan, Maude Schroeder, Ruth Akers, Melba Byrom, Winifred Graham, Frances Simpson and Jeanne Gay. The committees, appointed by Melba Byrom, have been busy doing their bast to make the tea a success, and it is hoped that a large crowd will attend the af fair. BIDUtr PDtFESM uresis KElllf Sugar Production Problem Solved in Palms Dr. L. E. Griffin, professor of biology at Beed college, spoke at a meeting of biology students in Alumni hall, Thursday evening, on the Food Conservation conference in Honolulu last summer. “One of the most important sub jects discussed at the conference was the production and conserva tion of sugar,” said Dr. Griffin. “With the constant increase in population there will be a greater and greater demand for sugar. For tunately, there has been discovered growing on the tide flats of vari ous islands of the Pacific, a species of sea palm, the sap of which is 17 per cent sugar. It is entirely for economical manufacture. ’ ’ Permission is now being sought from the Australian government to send a scientific, expedition to New Guinea to make a study of the numerous varieties of sugar cane and grasses in an endeavor to dis cover the evolution of sugar cane, according to Dr. Griffin. “The spread of prickly pear in Australia is fast becoming a menace to agriculture, and the government invites investigation so that it may be checked,” declared Dr. Griffin. “The prickly pear now covers about fifteen million acres, and it is spreading at the rate of a million acres a year. “There is room for a great deal of scientific research in fish life, and the fishing industry of the Pa cific. The Pacific is very rich in sea foods, but better methods of using and conserving them must be found. “In all these fields and many others there is a great demand for scientific men and women,” con cluded Dr. Griffin. Dr. Griffin succeeded Dr. Harry Beale Torrey, now head of the University of Oregon department of zoology, at Beed College. Dr. Tor rey introduced the speaker. PLEDGING ANNOUNCEMENT Phi Gamma Delta announces the pledging of Harry Brock of Pied mont, California. CIDER, SAND WICHES AND EXITS LEND COLOR TO CLASS DANCES Noisesome mixtures of old clothes, cider, ham sandwiches and seniors made the College Side Inn a place of much jollity at the * ‘ Senior Bust’ last night. Clever slap-stick comedy entertainers were one of the features of the evening, that is to say, the official feature. Several sophomores, who strayed from their haunt in the men’s gymnasium, en livened the party by their exit. Their party was also an old clothes affair, and it is rumored that seve ral of them were nearly lodged in the city Bastile for the night. A bit unusual, as features go, was the one planned for the sophomores by Gene Crosthwaite, a take-off on a woman’s basketball game. Of course great delight was afforded the participants of the game, in that they were given opportunity to express their version of ‘ ‘ how the women do it.” A Romafl holiday, in the form of a corduroy rub, was celebrated at the Campa Shoppe by the juniors. Paul Krausse and Jack Seabrook put on a little skit entitled “The three Trees,” and because the audience wanted an encore (we hope for no other reason) Jack Seabrook saifg a solo ‘‘Hard-Hearted Hannah.” A mock trial was indulged in, at which time certain well known cam pus ‘‘women” were accused of various ‘‘crimes.” The conveyances (Continued on Page Two) MINT STUDENTS TRAIN TO TEACH Forty Education Majors Doing Part Time Work In Schools of Vicinity MANY SUBJECTS TAUGHT Heads of Departments and High School Principals Supervise Instruction A total of 40 persons, University men and 'women of whom practi cally all are seniors and graduate students, are doing practice teach ing this semester. . As a part of their training for positions as high school teachers, supervisors, prin cipals, or superintendents, these people take charge of classes in the schools of Eugene, Springfield, and the University high school. They are trained under the super vision of the heads of the resp#! tive departments of the Eugene and University high schools, and the specialists in the teaching of their subjects in the schools of art, mu sic, and physical education. Pro fessor Harl R. Douglass of the school of education is director of supervised teaching and is in gene ral chargg of the work. Mrs. Anna Landsbury Beck has charge of those teaching music; N." B. Zane, art; and Miss Gertrude Manches ter, physical education. Oregon Standard High Mr. Douglass, who was acting as sociate professor of education at Stanford university last year, says that while practice teaching is pro vided for in some way by all the larger universities and colleges now, no other school on the coast, with the exception of the Univer sity of California, which maintains the University high school of Oak land, provides opportunities for this training equal to that at Oregon. “Superintendents from neighbor ing states, as a result,” Mr. Doug lass announced, “are beginning to apply to the local appointment bureau for teachers who have been tried and who have acquired their early experience under * careful supervision. “Work done by the large major ity of the seniors,” he continued, “was on a very high level, com pared very favorably, and was fre quently superior to that done in the average high school by experienced teachers.” Practice Teachers Listed Those doing practice teaching this semester are: English, Helen Andrews, Ruth E. Benson, Ethel mae Daniel, Hazel Ray Mills, Es ther M. Strecher, Alice Ann Tut hill, Frances Simpson, and Marie Myers; history, Mary Bartholomew, Mildred Hayden, Mildred M. Irelan, Mildred L. Johnson, Frances Mc Gill, Stella L. Van Vleet, and (Continued on Page Three) PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLASSES ARE LARGER Approximately 100 more women students were examined and enter ed in physical education classes this year, than were last year. To date, 460 are enrolled, 375 of whom are freshmen. All cases having enlarged thy roids, who show toxic symptoms, students with heart, chest or or thopedic trouble, and those who have had recent injuries or opera tions are sent to the individual gymnastic department, under Hiss Harriet W. Thomson. This year the number is 126, approximately the same as it was last year. Underweight cases this fall num ber ^25, as compared to 150 last fall. KAPPA DELTA PHI HOUSE PINED IN MUNICIPAL COURT For leaving wood in the streets longer than the law permits, the Kappa Delta Phi fraternity paid a fine of $5 in the municipal court Wednesday morning.

SMAIL WRITES 8PDK ON MATHEMATICS “History of Synopsis of the Theory of Summable Infinite Pro cess, ’ ’ by Lloyd L. Smail, the first work covering the latest branch of research in mathematics, will be published in book form by the Uni versity press within a few weeks. Df. Smail, assistant professor of mathematics in the University, has brought together all the data on the subject of infinite process since it was first developed in the year 1900, up to date. This theory is now used for many important applications, especially \ in mathematical physics in the study of the flow of heat. Dr. Smail is also revising a text for publication, entitled, “Mathe matics of Finance,” which includes problems of compound interest, sinking funds, valuation of bonds, and gives general information on actual methods of computing busi ness. He intends to have it avail able for use in his classes next fall. FEES MUST BE PAID BEFORE MOON TODAY Noon today ends the period for paying fees for the fall term, and a fine of $3.00 will be added to all fees paid after that time. Since the business office is open only until noon today, those who have not yet paid and wish to avoid the fine are urged to come early. Grand Master of Masonic Lodge Entertained by Craftsmen at Banquet LAW SCHOOL ADDRESSED Jurist Advises Students on Problems to be Met Before Supreme Bench Judge Oliver P. Coshow, of Hose burg, grand master of the Masonic lodge of Oregon and a member of the state supreme court, was the guest of the Craftsman club, or ganization of campus Masons, at a banquet held last night at the An chorage. He also addressed the students of the law school yester day morning in the Oregon build ng and was entertained at luncheon ay the faculty of the law school it noon. . In his address before the Crafts men, Judge Coshow gave a brief history of Masonic work in the nterests of education in Oregon. He told of the fund started at one )f the first meetings of the state grand lodge, to be used for educa rional purposes and stated that over 10 orphans of Masons are now being resisted in their education with the nterest from this fund. He told af his own days at Oregon, when lie stood rather in awe of Dean Straub, who then was in charge of campus discipline. Was Student in '82 Judge Coshow is- a former Uni versity of Oregon student, having been on the campus from 1882 to 1885. He was one of the first mem bers of the higher curricula and served from 1909 to 1919. The only two members of the faculty that were h'ere at his time who now survive are Dean Straub and Prof. Hawthorne. Judge Coshow has been invited to preside at the formal dedication of the new home of the Craftsman club to be held the week-end of Homecoming. Other officers of the grand lodge will also take part in the ceremonies. Law Problem Discussed In his talk before the law stu udent he discussed some of the problems they w'ill meet when starting practice. Among the topics touched on were the practice in the supreme court, the steps necessary to get into the court and whaf in his judgment was the best way to present a case. Speeiid emphasis was laid upon the importance of being very familiar with the facts of the case before ever presenting it and then to state as clearly as possible the points relied upon to win, as well as to thoroughly brief the law governing the facts. Thursday night Judge Coshow spoke before the Past Masters, Masters and Senior Wardens as (Continued on Page Three) H. J. DONNELLY WRITES ON ETHICAL PROBLEMS Harold J. Donnelly, former sec retary of the University Y. M. C. A., and son of Mrs. Charlotte Don nelly, the present employment sec retary of the Y. M. C. A., is the author of “What Shall I Do With My Life?” recently published by the Westminster Press, Philadel phia, according to word received at the library. The book is a study course for students of junior and senior high schoor age. At pres ent Mr. Donnelly is the national di rector of boys’ work for the Pres byterian board of education. Two new books on journalism, “Delane of the Times,” by Sir E. T. Cook, and “The Ethics of Jour nalism,” by N. A. Crawford, have been added to the library recently. RHODES SCHOLAR RESULTS TO BE ANNOUNCED MONDAY The Rhodes Scholarship commit tee met yesterday afternoon at 3:15, for the purpose of deciding on recommendations to be made to the state committee. Unforseen cir cumstances, however, made it nec essary to put off the final decision until Monday. The final meeting will be helcf then, and results an nounced either at that time or on the following day. Wearers of Green Scrub Senior Bench And Run Gauntlet Tlie babes of ’28 are low in spirit. It seems that about one c ’'•lock yesterday, each and every one of the class suffered an en counter with the senior class. To day each frosh is in a chastened mood and he cogitates upon the inadvisability of desecrating the sacred repose of the sombrero class—namely the senior bench. Several days ago tho senior bench was - defiled, presumably by the yearlings. Yesterday not long after the discipline session on the library steps, a repetition of the offense took place. Where upon the senior constables acted. Under the protection of upper classmen the frosh from each house were herded into a mass on Thirteenth street. Each wear er of the green derby walked the gauntlet of propelled paddles. Each frosh made obesience to the senior bench and contributed his bit by a healthy rub to eliminate the disfiguring marks. Need less to say, the bench presents an unsullied front to the gaze of the yearlings and the campus. And the dbniors reflect medita tively upon the application of the good, old and strict Puritan methods for maintaining order and peace. MISS TINGLE RELATES SUMMER EXPERIENCES Household Art Head Visits Historical Places Miss Lilian E. Tingle, head of the household arts department, spent the summer travelling in England and Scotland. Having laid aside culinary responsibilities, she spent an enjoyable vacation meeting old friends and visiting historical places. “I went chiefly to the older towns and villages not included in •the ordinary itinerary of the Euro pean tourist,” said Miss Tingle. ‘‘I also did a good deal of motoring on the less frequented but excel lent roads through the English countryside. The motor roads are good and the system for finding one-’s way from one point to an other is easy. I tried to find, not ne»,, but old things, and I found a great many,” she stated. Among the spots which Miss Tingle visited was Thrums, the place where Barrie, the novelist, was born, and which is t”ke setting for so many of his books. The cottage with the window at the top of the brae is still standing. It is the one which was used in ‘‘The Win dow of Thrums,” ‘‘The Little Minister,” and others. A good deal of the old Thrums has passed away, and there are none of the old hand looms left which once made Thrums known as a weaving town. ‘‘I also saw a lot of the Robin Hood country where the old ballad came from, Nottingham and Sher wood forests, and Locksley valley. The forests are gone and the coun try is turned into farm land, al though one still soes plenty of the yeoman type about,” she said. While in Scotland, Miss jingle visited parts of old Edinburgh con nected with historic events. FROSH DEFEAT COLUMBIA 71 Visitors’ Brilliant Passing And Charging of Babes Feature in First Game FRESHMEN BACKS STAR 115 Yards of Penalties Mar Game; Murphy, Logan Play Well for Losers Clipper Smith ’« aggregation of football men suffered the first de feat of the season when the frosh eleven clearly outfought them for a 7 to 6 victory on Hayward field yesterday afternoon. The Columbia eleven uncorked a series of brilliant passes that at times completely baffled the frosh, but the Babes more than made up for that by their superior line charging and straight football work. Turner piloted the freshmen eleven through one of the most varied frosh games that has been wit nessed for some time on the Hay ward gridiron. Wetiel Stars Passing, mixed in with long punts, drop kicks, long end runs, thrilling long passes, and straight line bucks were all used by both teams. The line plunging of Wetzel, frosh fullback, accounted for large gains in all quarters of the game. Working under the handicap of an injured arm his work was noteworthy. Turner at quarter, Molofsky at half, and Morton were the other backs who kept the Columbia team fighting in their own territory most of the time an(f several times threatened the goal. Wetzel’s average of 45 yards for punts gave the frOBh the advantage there, but the line de serves credit for there was no time that he was unable to get off his punts in short order and the game was replete with kicks. , Passes Net Gains Murphy, Columbia back, passed at every opportunity. Logan at right end accounted for about 70 yards by receiving his passes. Out of the 11 passes Murphy attempted four were completed. The culmin ation of the Columbia passing gafme came near the end of the third quarter when a Columbia quarter snapped over a 15-yard pass to Logan making the only score for Columbia for the game. The freshman play was distin guished by the fierceness and the hardness of the tackling of the whole team. Sifting through the lino they nailed the Columbia back dead in his tracks or on the field they tackled to get results and the ball carried was usually slammed down pretty roughly. Frosh Score Early The frosh kicked off at the be ginning of the game to the Colum bia 20-yard line where they got the ball on the next down because of a fumble. Then Wetzel and the rest of the frosh backs alternated smashing through for the rest pf the way—reeling off big ten-yard gains until the first touchdown was made after three minutes of play. Turner kicked goal for 7 points. Tlie frosh kicked off again and with a series of line bucks and end (Continued on Page Pour') CAMPUS FORDS ROLL MERRILY SOUTH TO STANFORD GAME Somewhere on the Pacific high way, a tiny cavalcade is creaking its way to Stanford. Each modern covered wagon is decorated with lemon-yellow pennants, and as in the days of ’49 the tiny train is intent upon reaching the end of its journey. It happens that gas is the motive power employed instead of plodding oxen, but the Oregon pilgrims have as much trouble with their steam 'ing vehicles. Once in a while a halt is called and someone fishes out some wire and ties together the wilful rear fender which has been jarred off. Maybe some of the Oregon Knights utter soothing words to cool off irate Lizzie. And when Henrietta will not relax, but ter is used to assuag" her taut muscles, via the grease cup rout. The campus Ford protests, but finally renews its wabbling way down the highway. And from the tangled depths of arms and legs, an Oregon voice sug gests wearily: “If six of you fellows’ll move over an inch, I can get this cigar ette to my mouth. ’ ’ A moment later, another curl of smoke is added to the atmosphere, and the cramped and buried knight of the open road declares aggres sively: “We’ll give ’em Hades this af ternoon, won’t wet’’ f
