«HOT ABLE TO LUND COMES Mt. Angel Tilt is Latest to Become Uncertain BIG BATTLE ON NOV. 8 O.A.C. Rooks to be Met; Baz Cuts Squad to 40 With the season rapidly progress ing the freshman football squad is having a hard time finding oppo sition. Most of the smaller colleges and prep schools have refused to play the freshmen. The first year men were victorious in their first encounter and were to have played Marshfield high school last Satur day at Marshfield, "but for some unknown reason the high school cancelled the game. Now the game for Friday against tho heavy Mt. Angel college team is a thing of certainty. This game was to have beeti played at Mt. Angel, but definite arrangements for this have not been made. If Mt. Angol college is not met to morrow, a game will be arranged for a week from Friday. Book Oamo Is Scheduled The annual tussle between the Oregon freshmen and the Oregon Agricultural college Rooks is sched uled to be played here November 8. This ought to prove one of the best games of the year, as the first year lads from Corvallis have a number of ex-prep stars in their lineup. On Saturday, November 15, the freshmen journey to the University of Washington to play the freshman team there. Several men were hurt in the Co lumbia tussle who were the main stays on the line. These men were Cress, center; Harden and Riggs, guards. The loss of these men in the next game will considerably weaken the central part of the line. Hedges will probably play center in ease Cress is unable to gain. The backfield has been showing up well, and in several weeks Ed wards, a heavy backfield man, will be able to play. Squad is Cut The squad, which numbered around 90 at the first of the sea son, has fallen off considerably, and Coach “Baz” Williams has about 40 men from which to pick his team. Undoubtedly there will be a number of good men whom Coach Maddock can use in the varsity lineup next year. HARVARD AND McGILL PLAYED FIRST RUGBY A match between Harvard and McGill (Montreal) played on May 13, 1874, was the first intercol legiate football game ever contest ed. Harvard won; but on the sec ond day was held to a tie in a con test played according to Rugby rules. The manner of playing was sim ple. A player could either “run, throw or pass’’ the ball •when it came to him. “Many good strug gles” are recorded in a contem poraneous account. Eleven players participated in the first game. For the first time in its history, the Harvard team cast aside their usual costume consisting of the oldest clothes available and wore dark trousers, white undershirts and magnets scarfs wound around their heads. Their opponents appearod mostly uniformed in the English fashion. The game consisted of three half hour periods. Five people wit nessed the struggle.— (The New Student Service). U. OF 0.

Class volley ball begins next week, and mueh good materiul is expected to turn out, according to Miss Shelley, coach of volley ball. MODERN STOCKINGS TRACED TO STONE AGE Ancient Women Responsible for all Finery of Co-Ed Says Professor (Science Service) Neolithic woman’s crude efforts to construct a roof for her primi-' tive hut gave rise to the manu facture of silk stockings for modern girls. Professor Harris Hawthorne Wilder of the department of zool ogy at Smith college at Northamp ton, Massachusetts, has traced the history of weaving back to the stone age shelter and even suggests that the apes started the practice which is responsible for twentieth century dress goods. “The chimpanzees and orang utans of the present day,” he says, “construct for themselves ser viceable nests, and twine above them the smaller branches, inter lacing them as well as their thick fingers and inferior brains will permit. But the primitive woman was far above this, and, in her twig-twining there soon grew be neath her supple fingers a definite system, by which, perhaps, one set of twigs interlocked in a fairly regular fashion with a set in the 'opposite direction. Next she made baskets, constructed like the hut, but made small and fastened to her back, they greatly facilitated her work of burden-bearing. t “She then developed the new found art .still further and applied it to the constriction of large mats, with which to cover the ground of the hut. In searching the forest for plant stems she discovered the characteristics of the fibers of flax. In some way, too, she notieed the , peculiar virtue of sheep’s wool j which was at first left upon the! hide and employed like other furs. ■ Twisting small tufts of wool be-: tween the thumb and finger draws | them out readily into threads, and j this perfectly natural motion was j probably often indulged in in idle: moments before the idea was seized upon and definitely applied. A fairly good yarn can be made by the fingers alone, but the twisting can be more rapidly and easily ac complished by the use of something that can be made to rotate after the principle of a top. Thus came the spindle and spindle whorl. “The simple stitches learned in basket-making were undoubtedly used first in weaving with the more pliable materials. But soon the greater possibilities were taken ad vantage of, and the fabries and colored patterns that were achieved in the valleys of the Danube and Bhine before the horse was tamed or the use of metals learned, ri valed in beauty the costumes of modern. peasantry in countries where primitive methods are still used. “The native inhabitants of the two Americas often use in their weaving exactly the same process that the women of the Neolithic age employed. Studies of the American Indians are of the profitable ways of tracing the development of tex tile industries.” SEVERAL BOOKS ADDED TO RENT COLLECTION The library is continually adding to its collection of books for every department, but the supply in the rent collection is never low. The most recent are: “The Na ture of a Crime,” Joseph Conrad and Madox Ford; “The Green Hat,” Michael Arlen; “Blind Ref tery,” Don Byrne; “Racial Real ities in Europe,” Lothrop Stod dard; “The Character of Races,” Ellsworth Huntington;' “Modern Greek Stories,” which is a collec tion of storieB from different authors, edited by Demetra Vaka; “Glimpses of Japan and Formosa,” Harry A. Frouck. Another book added to the regular collection is “The Masters of Modern Art,” Walter l’ach. Y. M. C. A. CAMPAIGN MEETS WITH SUCCESS Final reports of the campus Y. M. C. A. financial campaign have not yet come in but so far the work has met with success, according to Oscar McKinney, head of the can vassing committee. Although pledges from the living organizations have not all been turned in, reports from the men in charge at the houses show that they have almost all gone over their quotas. Ernest Henrikson’s team is at present leading the canvassing groups for men outside of living organizations with a total of $66.50. The foroign students have pledged 100 per cent, Onofre Hipe having canvassed all of them personally.

WHITMAN TO PLAY VARSITY SATURDAY i - (Continued from page one) initial game with Willamette. How ever, against the speedy and tricky Whitman eleven, both squads should be fairly well matched.

ATHLETIC HEART SAID TO BE ANCIENT MYTH Tests Made on Men Running In 25-Mile Marathon (By Science Service) Boston, Mass.—A severe jolt has been handed to the idea, long ac cepted as a commonplace in medi cal and athletic circles, that severe, athletic training and participation in competition, especially in long races, was “hard on the heart,” and tended to cause permanent en largement of that organ. The staff of the Peter Brent Brigham hospital have just pub lished the results of their X-ray studies, made on American and Canadian youths who took part in the 25-mile American Marathon. The men had all been training for some months immediately pre ceding the'race, and most of them had been doing long distance run ning for from five to fifteen or more years. It was found that the heart size of the men was normal, and the lung capacity likewise was apparently unaffected. Immediately after the ■ race it seems that there was a temporary decrease in heart size, gradually returning to normal in about one .day. TEACHERS PREPARE DATA FOR USE IN MASTER’S TEST A series of syliaDi, dealing with the main features of education, are being prepared by 15 teachers who are preparing for their master’s de gree through the extension division of the University of Oregon at Portland.

Thacher, professor of short story writing at the Univer sity, has a story entitled “Eligibil ity” in the November issue of Blue Book magazine.

N. 8.)—Women students of the Southern branch living or boarding in approved boarding houses have been organizing into house clubs. Any house where there are at least six girls living, is eligible for mem bership. The dean has organized these house clubs for two reasons. In case anything arises in regard to enforcing University regulations, it will afford a better way in which to call the women students together. Secondly, it will be the quickest channel to get all women students into activities in which they are interested. MRS. JOHN W. ANDERSON NOW ON COOS BAY TIMES Mrs. John W. Anderson (Kather ine J.
