EAST UNCERTAIN . OVER FOOTBALL Marquette Causes Surprise By Naval Defeat NOTRE DAME IS STRONG Harvard, Yale and Georgia All About Even With the first round of football games between the big teams of the east over, the cards seemed stacked to give the Atlantic sea *■ board the best' season on the grid iron that it has had in several years. The teams are more evenly matched than they were last year, and yet most of them are consider ably stronger. To date no, eleven has shown enough stuff to class it as head and shoulders above the rest of the field. No team can be classed as a soft spot in the schedule. In fact several of the supposedly easy teams have turned the tables on their opponents with vengeance. An example of this is the surprising defeat of Gil Dobie’s much touted Cornell aggregation by Williams. The Cornell eleven showed promise of a future strength and displayed dashes of real power on the attack. By the middle of the season Dobie’s team should be bowling over its op ponents in regular style, especially Us the Cornell schedule is not a particularly strenuous one. Marquette Strong Factor The victory of Marquette over the navy heralded the rise of an other gridiron satellite on the east ern football horizon. In 1919 the little school of Marquette in the middle west was composed of only one main school building and had an enrollment of about five hun dred students. The growth of this school is phenomenal. Today the campus is one of the most beautiful in the middle west. There are a number of fine buildings and large athletic fields. The enrollment reaches five thousand, a tenfold in crease in five years. The rise of the football teams has been steady until the victory of Marquette over the navy is an announcement that Marquette has arrived among the leading football elevens of the country, and has come to stay. The school draws a large number of its players from the Catholic prepara tory schools of this country much as does Notre Dame. Notre Dame Judged Best Notre Dame seems to be the only team that can possibly be classed as the best of the field. Knute Boekne has turned out another of the fine elevens for which he has grown famous. Judging by past performances Notre Dame will have a better organized offense than the one of last year. The same back field is back and there isn’t an other one in the east, and probably in the country, that can compare with it for precision and versa tility. In Layden, at fullback, Boekne has a spectacular open-field runner and a wonderful punter. Notre Dame should sweep the field this year as their decisive victory over the strong army eleven would Beem to indicate. Big Three Even None of the “Big Three" elevens have shown their usual strength in their preliminary games. The days when the football cham pionship of the country used to be decided by the winner of the Big Three championship is over. All three have found it hard sledding in their early games. Yale in win ning from Georgia, 7 to 6, and play ing a 7 to 7 tie with Dartmouth, has met the stronger opposition. Tad Jones bids fair to win from Har vard. and Princeton for the second successive year. Harvard has de velop slowly but has shown consid erable progress, and gives every in dication of having a powerful, ver satile team in the making. Prirfce ton was humbled by Lehigh, but the Orange and Black came back to win from the navy. This is Bob Roper’s last year at Princeton and so he will undoubtedly try to make it a good one. The army seems to have a wide edge on the navy this year, and the scene of the big army-navy game in New York will likely find the “army mule” lording it over the “navy goat.” In Wilson the Cadets have found a man to take the place of the versatile French in leading the army attack. Hewitt, the former Pittsburg battering ram is also a big cog in the West Pointers’ offense. The navy has no backfield men to compare with these two in their brilliancy. At the University of North Da kota, plans for the fourth general convention and publications con test of the Northern Intereholastic Press association are being made. CAMPUS SPEAKER PLAYED IN FIRST GAME OF BASKETBALL Dr. Frank N. Seerley, Hygiene Professor, Also Former Football Star In College _L__ In I)r. Frank N. Seerley, profes sor of social hygiene and psychol ogy at the Y. M. C. A. college in Springfield, Mass., the University has been entertaining a man who is not only a lecturer of distinction but one who' has made athletic his tory. For Ur. Seerley participated in the first game of basketball ever played. This fact, known only to those who follow sports history minutely, was brought out yesterday during a conversation with Dr. Seerley in which the reporter and Dr. E. S. Conklin, professor of psychology in the University of Oregon, partici pated. “The game of basketball was in vented in Springfield in about 1891 by James Naismith, now of the University of Kansas,” said the Springfield educator. ‘ ‘ Naismith, Dr. Gulick and I all worked on it, and I was in the first game ever played on the floor. The first baskets were peach baskets with no holes in them, and the janitor had to climb up a ladder and take the ball out of the basket,” he laughed. “Later we cut a hole in the basket just large enough for the ball to fall through. The first baskets made by Spalding had a string on the side to pull and tip the basket over so the ball would fall out. ’ ’ Dr. Seerley was renewing old ac quaintances yesterday with Dr. Conklin and Rudblph Fahl of the physical education faculty, both of whom are Springfield graduates. Dr. Seerley was lecturing in Palo Alto when Oregon played Stanford, and he saw the game. "It was a clean game,” he said, ‘‘and the surprise was that Oregon played so well. Stanford was worried for a while.” ‘‘That reminds me of another football game,” said Dr. Conklin, with at twinkle in his eye. ‘‘No telling tales,” smiled Dr. Seerley. ‘‘You made the only touehdown against Harvard that year,” Dr. Conklin recalled. ‘‘Yes, I was associated with Alonzo Stagg (now coach at the University of Chicago) on the team for two years. He played right half and I played'fullback. I play ed for three years and coached for five more, ’ ’ said the doctor, who, with his broad shoulders and keen, youthful eyes, looks as if he could still hit the line for a yard or two. WOMEN'S RIFLE TEAMS Eighteen Houses Enter Race For Shoot Trophy The women’s rifle team is start ing out with enthusiasm this year as most of the old members are back. The rifle team is to be un der the auspices of the Women’s Athletic association, and all com petition and rules are to be super vised by them. There will be no credit given this year, but if the rifle team proves successful there is no doubt that credits will be- given later. , All except three of the women’s houses have given their consent to enter teams. Each house is limited to ten girls for tryoutS. These ten girls will report in a body to the R. O. T. C. headquarters where they will have a preliminary tryout and the five girls having the highest scores will be picked as the house team. Last year there were only eleven teams entered in the league. This year there are eighteen teams entered, which promises much com petition between the houses. The R. O. T. C. officers are ren dering their services and have made arrangements for ammunition and rifles. Arrangements have been made for each team to practice one hour a week, but more time can be arranged if the girls desire it. The Women’s Athletic associa tion, through Captain J. T. Murray, has appointed Edna Spenker of the Alpha# Xi Delta house, to take charge of the teams and the g^irls individually. “It has been tried for years to place the rifle team as a class activity,” said Miss Spenker, “and we hope that after this year it will bd classed as an activity.” The holder of the cup must win it three times to keep it. Last year Susan Campbell hall was the win ner and they will try to defend it this year. The contest will prob ably start early next week.

FIVE YEAR INDEX AAADE DF OREGON JOURNAL All Data Concerning State Listed Separately A classified index of the Oregon Journal, covering the years from 1902 through 1907, has been com pleted by a faculty committee com posed of Dr. R. C. Clark, professor of history, James H. Gilbert, head i of the economics department, and Dean H. D. Sheldon of the school of education. “Everything bearing on Oregon is listed in this index. It is very com plete in its scope,” said Dr. Clark. Copies of the index will be sent to the Portland public library and the state library at Salem and to other places having files of the Oregon Journal for that period. “This classified index of the Journal,” he continued, “is similar to the one completed recently on the Oregonian, in which every edi torial, communication, news story, and item in the Oregonian that had a bearing on Oregon from the first issue, Vol. I; No. 1 of the Oregon ian weekly in 1850 down to 1909, was indexed. (It was not neces sary to tabulate from that date forward because an index for the period had already been made.) So far thet committee, assisted by the graduate assistants in some of the routine work, has spent three years on the job.” “When the indexing of the Ore gon Journal down to the present time is completed there will be a most valuable tabulation of all the events pertaining to Oregon ever printed in the papers.,” he said. “The Journal, being a demoeratie paper, will present one side of the situation; while the Oregonian, be ing a republican, will present an other.” The • files of the Journal will date back to 1902, the year the paper was started. The indexing includes such sub jects as: “History of Oregon”, “Transportation in Oregon”, “Rail roads in the State”, “Roads and SAY ON Sunday night WHEN the shows ARE all closed AND its raining out AND you have a DATE with your best GIRL AND you don’t know WHERE to take her AND you feel all ’BLUE about it.
