UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1924
NUMBERS
VARSITY HOLDS
STANFORD SO-1S
Oregon Scores on Mighty
Cardinal Team in Hectic
Grid Clash at Palo Alto
IMPROVEMENT IS SHOWN
Anderson Runs 85 Yards for
Touchdown in First Part
Of Game; Jones Hits Hard
Tired but happy, the Oregon foot
ball team swung off the Shasta
yesterday morning after making a
good showing against the Cardinals,
the squad that was doped to beat
the Varsity by at least 40 points.
Only after a brilliant 85-yard
dash down the field by Louie An
derson, did the Stanford team rea
lize that the Oregonians had been
decidedly under-rated as to their
offensive power.
Flays are Spectacular
The touchdown scored by Ander
son, the quarterback, was only one
of the spectacular plays which
thrilled the 10,000 fans in the Palo
Alto stadium. The small but loyal
group of Oregon rooters were also
roused by the manner in which the
second score was made.
Anderson, threw a pass that was
anybody’s ball untii after being
juggled about came into the hands j
of Bob Mautz. Mautz ripped up
the field but was tackled before
crossing the goal line. When taJckled
he fumbled the ball. Mimnaugli
recovered the ball and scored the
touchdown.
Strong Offense Needed
With the. exceptiorf of the second
quarter, when the heavy scoring j
-was made by the Cardinals, both
teams had to use their full offen-1
sive power to even dent the oppos-1
ing defense. In the third period, j
the varsity tightened down and (
forced the Red Shirts into mainly |
exchange punts, as the Cardinals |
found the Oregon line a mighty
tough proposition to get through.
Ernie Nevers was unable to play
in Saturday’s game because of in-1
juries sustained earlier in the sea-1
son. However, the Cardinals are'
not handicapped to any appreciable
extent because of the temporary
loss of Nevers for George Bogue
carried the ball like a veterap and
scored two of the Cardinal’s touch
downs.
Anderson Goes Over
It was only two minutes after
the start of the game, that Louie
Anderson hit Stanford’s left tackle
and started racing for the goal
line. Perfect Oregon interference
aided him greatly after he had
broken through the line.
Four Lemon-Yellow- players
formed a barrier that many of the
Stanford taeklers could not pene

Freshmen Women
Making Pennants
For Homecoming
Work on the little green and
lemon-yellow pennants which
everyone wears to the HomecBm
ing game, has begun already,
with Anna DeWitt in charge.
The actual work on the pennants
is being done by the Y. W. C. A.
freshman commission, under the
leadership of Mary Donaldson,
vice-president of the Y. W., and
is carried on at the Y. W. bunga
low and in various organizations.
The price will be the same as
it was last year—five cents,—
and the sale is to be on Saturday,
November 1. Committees who
will conduct the sale will be an
nounced later, according to Mass
DeWitt. Every patriotic Oregon
ian should display one of these
pennants at the game.
MANY STUDENTS FAIL
TO PAY FEES ON TIME
Delinquent Students are to
Be Given Fine
With the time limit set by Uni
versity regulations for the payment
of fees already past due, there are
still at least 100 students who have
sot done so and are as a result au
tomatically suspended from the Uni
versity, according to an announce
ment from the business office.
Students who have not paid their
fees must pay a three dollar fine
and must also petition for their
liours. . Those in this position are
arged to pay their fees at once, be
sause the longer the delay, the less
is the student's chance of favor
able action on his petition.
Included in those who must pay
fines, although they are not sus
pended, are a number of students
ivhose checks have come back mark
3d “N. S. F.” Several hundreds
of dollars in checks have been re
turned since fee paying began last
week, and drastic action against
Dffenders is promised by the busi
ness office.
A last minute rush Saturday caus
’d the necessity of issuing tickets
to students, upon the presentation
of which they were allowed to pay
their fees today without the addition
of the fine. While a large number
of these tickets were issued, a num
ber of those receiving them did
lot pay their fees today.
Already the number of alibis is
growing and the business office ex
pects a great many more before all
fees are collected.
DEAN E STEELY IS ABSENT
FROM CAMPUS THIS WEEK
Mrs. Virginia Judy Esterly, dean
of women, has gone to her home in
Antioch, California, where she was
called because of the serious ill
ness of her father. She will prob
ably not return until Friday of this
week.
VITUS PROVES “FIND” OF YEAR;
BURTON IS SPEEDY RESERVE
By W. A. J.
Coming up from the freshman
ranks with no special fame or sig
nificance attached to his name,
Otto Vitus constitutes the biggest
find of the year of the varsity
squad. He has proven his ability
in all the games Oregon has played.
Vitus is a halfback that is going
to make a name for himself this
season. Joe Haddock put him in
the backfield at half before the
Pacific game and he has been play
ing that position regularly since
then. The reason why he didn’t
carry the ball in the Stanford game
was because he was too valuable a
man at blocking—that is what he
was used for in the entire Stan
ford game.
Vitus, to see him on the football
field, strikes One as being easy—
not tense like the usual football
player, and he walks loosely, but
when one sees him hit the line
there is no looseness there—rit’s aU
solid drive and it’s powerful. “He
hits like a ball of iron,” as one
football player said. That loose
ness disappears with the snap of
the signals.
He is a heavy man and fits in
well with the rest of the backfield,
being equally as fast if not as ex
perienced. All that he lacks to
make him a star is the experience
and that will come soon enough.
He played high school football in
Eugene and the first real coach
ing he had was under Baz Wil
liams on the frosh squad of last
year where he played as half part
of the time. This is his first year
of varsity experience.
He is young yet—only 19, alid
with three years of varsity foot
ball training ahead of him he will
be heard of.
Vitus is another modest sort of
football man who entirely belies
his actions on the gridiron. He is
a rather quiet young man who goes
in for football with all his inter
est and energy—perhaps thinking
of nothing else and he gets there!
Ae football player doesn’t acquire
a football head in one season’s
work or maybe not in many for
that matter. Keri Burton is a man
who has been out for football for
three years and he has a lot of
football stored away in his head
and he uses it. He played in the
last quarter of the Stanford game
but the team was on the defensive

Annual Y. M.-Y. W. Affair
Will Follow Rally At
. Armory Friday Night
FOOD WILL BE SERVED
Yellow Sheet to Appear
Exposing Local Scandal
And Forecast of Game
The annual Y. M.-Y. W. mix will
be held this year immediately af
ter the rally which will take place
Friday evening at the Armory in
preparation for the Whitman game
on the following day. An especially
well balanced program of campus
and outside talent has been secured
for the entertainment at the mix
and the scandal sheet, published
by Sigma Delta Chi each year, will
also be in evidence. The entire pro
gram will be over by 9:30 o’clock
so that dates may be kept after
the mix.
Mulkey la on Bill
Magical Mulkey, who has gained
an enviable reputation throughout
the state for his magic, will pre
sent part of the program while the
Campus Tramps from the College
Side Inn will supply the musical
part. Two professional entertain
ers have been secured for twenty
five minutes of pure mirth and a
comedy skit presented by campus
talent will top off the list.
“We have Secured the very best
program we could find for the
mix,” said Ted Gillenwaters, chair
man of the affair, yesterday, “and
we are positive that it will be en
joyed by the entire student body.”
The refreshments wnich are to
be served after the program are be
ing arranged for by the Y. W. C. A.
and the nominal charge of ten
cents will be levied to each person
as he enters into the festivities.

WOMEN’S LEAGUE MEET
TO BE HELD ON CAMPUS
A convention of ttie presidents of
all Women’s Leagues west of the
Appalachian mountains will be held
on the campus, next April, from
the 15th to the 17th.
Mary Hathaway has been ap
pointed chairman of the convention,
by Winifred Graham, president of
the local Women’s League. She will
have charge of all the plans. This
is the first time in the history of
the University that such a conven
tion has been held. A large at
tendance is expected, as each col
lege having a Women’s League or
ganization is entitled to send a
delegate. A rather extensive pro
gram is being planned for the en
tertainment of the representatives.
The purpose of this convention is
to go over problems that confront
different campuses in a way that
will be of national interest. It will
also lead to a better understanding
among the delegates of the actual
life on the respective campuses rep
resented.
The appointment and announce
ment of committees to take care of
all work connected with the enter
tainment of the guests will be an
nounced later in the week, accord
ing to Miss Hathaway.
FRATERNITY HOUSES
RAIDED AT CALIFORNIA
University of California. — Six
fraternity houses at the University
of California were raided by the po
lice at Berkeley recently and “sou
venirs” of a semester’s gathering
were confiscated.
Among the trophies were: one
“No Parking” sign belonging to
the eity of Berkeley; one blue and
gold smoking stand from the Stev
ens Union; 14 red railroad lanterns;
one advertisement from a motion
picture house; one “Stop, Look and
Listen” sign from a local railroad
yard; and six pieces of furniture
which had been secretly removed
from a nearby sorority house.
| Girls Get Thrill
From Farce Fire;
No Damage Done
In great agitation at seeing
smoke pouring’ from the parti
tions of the kitchen jvall, the
girls at the Alpha Phi house
turned in the fire alarm about 2
o’clock Saturday afternoon. Being
alone, they were very much
frightened and did not stop to
discover the source of the smoke,
but summoned the fire department
at dice.
The fire engines arrived with
their usual ado to find that
someone had turned the draft
too low in the furnace, and the
smoke was merely seeking the
path of least resistance. The
heating ^system is new and not
very well regulated, so the un
usual things which is does are
not surprising. The fire depart
ment retired in relief and the
girls settled back to their usual
routine with the knowledge that
they had at least gotten a thrill,
even if it was a farce.

1IN. DRIVE ON
FOR MEMBERS
Two Weeks to be Devoted
To Personal Solicitation
Of All Campus Women
LAST YEAR’S QUOTA 600
Religious Purpose is First
interest of Local Group;
Bible Study Carried On
The Y. W. C. A. membership
drive, which will probably continue
for the next two weeks, during
which time the committee of 20
students, under the leadership of
Mary Bartholomew will endeavor
to reach every new student on the
campus, started yesterday.
The purpose of the campus Y.
W. association is, to lead students
to faith in God through Jesus
Christ; to lead them into member
ship and service in the Christian
church; to build them up in Chris
tian faith and character, especially
through the study of the Bible; to
influence them to devote them
selves, in united effort with all
Christians, to making the will of
Christ effective in human society,
and to extending the Kingdom of
God throughout the world.
Barge Number Expected
Last year the membership list
reached 600. This number has been
greatly depleted by graduation and
failure to return to the campus, but
the committee expects to raise the
number as high, or higher this
year, as there are many more new
students than ever before. Those
who were members last year, are
still considered as such, as it is
necessary to sign a membership card
only once during the school life.
There is no membership charge.
There are eleven different de
partments in the campus associa
tion: membership, social work, ser
vice and employment, finance,
bungalow upkeep, girl reserves,
Bible study, meetings, pubflicaty,

PLANS ARE UNDER WAY
FOR WOMEN’S DEBATE
The nature of the subject for wo
men ’s triangular debate with O. A.
C. and Willamette, was selected at
a meeting held in Salem, Friday at
which all of the colleges wore rep
resented. The question will be on
the Japanese exclusion act, con
sidering its revision to allow the ad
mission of Japanese into the United
States on the same basis on which
Europeans are admitted. The exact
wording of the question has not as
yet been determined.
The debate is to be held on Feb
ruary ]9I and plans are now being
made for the tryouts which will be
held shortly after Homecoming. Po
sitions on the team will be open to
every one, including the freshmen.
Negotiations are under way for a
Washington-Oregon women’s de
bate, but plans are being delayed
because there is a chance that Cali
fornia will enter and. make it a tri
angular rather than dual debate.
'The men’s squad from which the
team to meet O. A. C. will be chosen
is working on its question under
Mr. Oscar A. Brown who will have
full charge of the coaching of this
team. The debate will occur on
January 8.
DEAN SHELDON RECEIVES
PICTURE OF CONVENTION
Dr. Henry D. Sheldon, dean of
the school of education, who was a
lecturer at the high school conven
tion in Ketchikan, Alaska, during
August, 1924, received from the as
sociation a framed picture of those
attending the convention. Dear
Sheldon gave a series of six lee
tures at the three day convention
which is held annually by the higl
school teachers in the municipal
schooiB of Alaska. There are two
kinds of schools in Alaska: thosi

DR. HOOVER TO SPEJIK
AT NEAT ASSEMBLY
European Student Life is
Faculty Man’s Topic
Dr. Glenn Hoover, professor of
political science and economics, will
be the speaker at the assembly,
Thursday, in the Woman’s building,
according to Karl W. Onthank,
executive secretary.
Dr. Hoover has just joined the
University faculty, having returned
during the summer from Europe af
ter taking his Ph.D. at Strassburg
univejsity. He is a graduate of the
University of Washington where he
was well known as a student and qs
a talented orator.
Dr. Hoover’s assembly topic will
bo on the general subject of Euro
pean student life. He will discuss
the life of the students as he saw
it in Europe, particularly on the
continent. The speaker was in close
contact with the various youth
movements and will touch upon
that topic during his address.
Because of the congestion caused
by freshmen and sophomores using
the same door into the Woman’s
building, a new system is to be
tried out. Faculty and freshman
women are aBkod to enter by the
south door, through the sun room.
It is expected that this system will
cause less trouble and' will allow
more time for the assemblies.

various student organizations.
THREE RHODES
i CANDIDATES UP
Committee Names Clinton
Howard, Don Woodward,
Henry Sheldon for Honor
FINAL TEST IN DECEMBER
^Applicants Highly Praised
For Character and Ener
gy, Says Dr. Rebec
i -
I After three days of considers
'tion, the Rhodes scholarship com*
mittee announced their decision
Saturday. The three men of their
choice are Clinton Howard, jour
nalism major, Don Woodward, jour
nalism major, and Henry Sheldon,
business major. These three men
\will appear before the state com
mittee in Portland sometime be
i tween December 1 and 13, when
ithe final choice will be made.
“A number of the candidates
were both encouraged and deliber
ately keen to take the examina
tion with the view of being better
■able to get ready two years from
now,” said Dr. George Rebec, head
of the graduate school, when sum
ming up his opinion in regard to
1 the Rhodes scholarship examina
tions. “Both they and the com
■mittee were aware that at present
they were not ready. Therefore,
to these men, t\ere was> no per
sonal disappointment.
Candidates of Good Type
“In one or two other circum
'• stances, it was the frartk judgment
of the committee that the candi
. date, though in certain directions
■excellently prepared, had not been
working in a direction where Ox
ford would be the most useful
place for him to go, or Where he
would make the best impression.
This was in no sense a judgment
of inadequacy.
| “In general,” Dr. Rebec con
jtinued, “it may be said of the
| candidates that they represented an
admirable type of young American.
In character, energy and personal
'■presence they were all that could
be desired.
Few Seniors Out
“The weakness was the one
which displays itself throughout
the American student body. The
students were deficient in orderly,
precise and sure scholarship. Their
intellectual and cultural individ
uality did not in any way measure
up to the personality which they
exhibited us men among men. The
committee was not surprised at
this.
“If there was dissatisfaction, it
was in the fact that so few seniors
were in the running, and that the
juniors had to bear the brunt of
^naintaining Oregon’s reputation as

ROOTING WEBFOOTERS PADDLE
IN SAN FRANCISCO CHINATOWN
(Editor’s note: Several car-1
loads of rooters drove 1400 miles/
to Palo Alto and return over the j
week-end to see the Oregon-Stan-.
! ford football game. The trip was j
not uneventful. One who made the
trip recounts the following:)
The trip? Great stuff, except
ing for a headache. No, I didn’t
get drunk, although at Frisco any- {
thing from wine to Haig & Haig
can be had for the asking and pay- J
ing. The headache comes from try
ing to sleep in the machine.
We pulled out the back cushion, !
placed it on the floor of the ma- |
chine, spread blankets, pretegded !
we wore undersized dwarfs and
took turns sleeping and driving. I
slept over the unpaved roads in
northern California and almost
jarred my brains loose.
We left Eugene, five in a seven
passenger Buick, at 8 o’clock Wed
nesday evening. Driving steadily
we reached Oakland at 8 o’clock
! Thursday evening. We spent an
hour or two on the road
keeping track of the other two ma
chines in our party. At Oakland
i one of the boys furnished fraternal
board and room—an item which
enabled, us to make more of a splash
in San Franoisco the next night.
Friday we gave the Berkeley
■ampus the once over. The most
•ecent acquisition there is the new
itadium which seats 72,000 persons,
ft is a beautiful structuro which
nakes you feel, when inside, like a
vacuum plus.
Friday night was a big time for
rs. Most of us had never been to
Frisco before so we invaded the
jig city en masse.
Most of the boys went to the
Pavo Real, the city’s best cabaret.
O'ollego women are black-marked if
they go there; that is, they are not
permitted to attend certain places
by college authorities. A number
of movie stars were there includ- 4
ing Wallace Beery and Marie Fre
vost and her husband.
Two of us hit for Chinatown
where we went to the Mandarin
theatre. Inside, four Chinese ac
tresses kept up an incessant chat
ter while a shirt-sleeved orchestra
on the side of the stage smoked
pipes and made just a little mote
noise than the ladies. Since we
couldn’t read the programs or
understand anything we (got out
pretty soon.
Barbary Coast, as far as I could
figure out, is a has-been. A great
