VOLUME XXVI UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1924 NUMBER 20 TENNIS THDPHY TAKEN BY HEBER University Championship Is Won, Best Two Out of Three, in Speedy Match WINNER TO HEAD TEAM Although Squad is Picked Foe Year, Others Have Chance to Win Place Reginald Heber is the champion tennis player of the University. He won this distinction, along with the trophy of one dozen tennis balls, yesterday afternoon by tak ing the best two out of three sets from George Mead, runner up in the tournament, by the score of 6-0, 3-6, 7-5. Playing in championship form these two athletes gave the spec tators all the thrills possible in a tennis match. After the first set it looked like a sure win for Heber but in the next two, George MJead showed his ability as a fighter even though he lost. In coming from be hind after the first set he took the second and almost won the third and final. Officials Chosen At a meeting of the lettermen in tennis Friday afternoon, Harry Meyer was< elected captain and George Hayden, manager. The possibility of making tennis a major sport at the University will be the inspiration of the team this year. “Rudy” Fahl says, “If we show the fighting spirit and put in good hard work there is no reason why the student body shouldn't be interested.” With the final sets of the tourna ment played, the hand picked squad for the coming year will be: Cap tain Harry Meyer, Manager George Hayden, Reginald Heber, George Mead, Roy Okerberg,'William Mc Bride, Terva Hubbard, Gerald Crary, William Adams and Knut Westergren. With this squad of men Oregon has a better outlook for a winning tennis team than ever before according to “Rudy” Fahl, head tennis coach. “There are other men that have a chance to make the squad,” Fahl says. “Challenges will be issued all through the year. This will give everybody an equal chance, and make the varsity men work, to hold their positions. ” Practice Continues i Practice will be continued oh the outside courts for the remainder of the fall term, with the prospects of another tournament being played. From now oh the team will re ceive individual instructions in the fundamentals of tennis. Fahl says, “I believe in knowing what you are to do and then practicing to de velop speed and accuracy.” Lungs and Hats In Demand For Today’s Rumpus <<T>ring your rooter hat and " a pair of good longs, if you have only one long, that will do too,” declares the Tell King, concerning today’s game. The hats, he says, are to he worn so that the Ore gon rooters will have a some what uniform appearance, and the longs are to be worn oat, if necessary. The throe yell leaders will be in action to morrow and they hope to got the rooters all set to “do their stuff” for the big Homecom ing game. CROSS COUNTRY RACE TO BE HELD SATURDAY Four Teams to Take Part In Annual Run The cross country meet to be held here next Satvfrday as a part of the Homecoming celebration will be from all indication one of the closest ever held in the history of the University. The teams this year seem to be very evenly matched and one of the tightest races can be looked for. Idaho ran away with the bacon last year and has a good team this year. Oregon Agricultural College has a number of old men back and will give the other contestants a stiff race. More teams will com pete in the cross country this year, including Idaho, Oregon Agricul tural college, University of Wash ington and the University of Ore gon. There is also some probability that Washington State college will send a team. The course this year will be the same as last, with a run around the track once and out over the course and back and once around the track again at the finish. This will cov er a distance of three and a half miles. Oregon’s prospects for a winning team are not as bright as they couM be. Only two men of last year’s varsity squad are turning out; these are Keating and Tetz. The frosh distance men from last year are: Barnes and Conley. Carlson, a sen ior, is "again turning out for the distance running. Tryouts for the varsity cross-country team will be held the middle of next week when the team will -be pieked to run in the cross-country meet next Satur day. MAJOR H. L. JORDAN VISITS CAMPUS R. O. T. O. CORPS Major H. L, Jordan, chief offi cer of the ninth area B. O. T. C. corpB, is a visitor on the campus this week end. Major Jordan is visiting some 18 colleges, including high schools and prep schools in his district. Eugene is his first stop, and from here he goes to Cor vallis. MAGIC, VAUDEVILLE,'PEP, MARK ALL-UNIVERSITY MIX IN ARMORY The hundreds of people who turned out for the Whitman-Oregon rally last night in the Armory, and who stayed for the annual Y. M. C. A.-Y. W. C. A. mix were not disappointed in the quality of the entertainment which was offered. Virgil Mulkey, with his thirty minutes of magic and mystery, so often had his college audience com pletely mystified that they would break out in spontaneous applause. His act was well calculated to please the over-critical students who are always in abundance at any campus entertainment, and he left them with the distinct impres sion of having been amused as well as mystified. Paul Krausse, assisted by Jack Seabrook at the piano, gave a bur lesque of what was called the "Opera Rigoletto.” His half Eng lish, half R. O. T. C. hunting cos tume together with the multiplicity of armorial equipment which he carried about his person, furnished much of the amusement in the act. And, to be sure, the piano played no small part in its success. Messrs. Strasbaugh and Felker, from Salem, Oregon, furnished the concluding act on the program, at tired in the usual “hick” costumes, varied now and then with some, more or less, Hawaiian. Their act, consisting of “rube” jokes, songs and yodeling, was encored time af ter time by the audience until the time li&it was reached. The Campus Tramps, from Col lege Side Inn, were the first act on the program, with a number of original interpretations of jazz or chestration. Immediately after Mulkey’s act and before the last act, the “Yel low Fang,” long awaited scandal journal published by Sigma Delta Chi, honorary journalism fraternity, was distributed by a number of energetic “newsies.” The flaming sheet contained much personal “dope” concerning many of the campus personalities, well calcul ated by the editors of the miniature paper, to cause plenty of squirming among the individuals mentioned. Alberta Potter, Returned From Studying in East, Will Give Violin Solos PROGRAMS TO FOLLOW Entertainments to include Orchestra, Opera, Organ And Christmas Music The local chapter of Hu Phi Epsilon, national honorary musical fraternity, will give the first of its series of six concerts at Alumni hall, tomorrow afternoon at four o’clock. The program will include miscellaneous selections, and Miss Bernice Yeo is in charge. Miss Alberta Potter, violinist, who has just returned from tho east where she has been studying under Franz Kneisel, noted teacher of violin of New York, will give “Two Slavonic Dances,” by Dvorak Kreisler. Miss Potter has been as sistant instructor in the depart ment of music for several years, and is concert master of the Uni versity orchestra. Another inter esting artist who will participate is Miss Laura Teshner, who also is a member of the musical faculty of the University. Concerts lusted The series of concerts will in clude, Miscellaneous Program, Ori ental Music, Christmas ' Music, Grand Opera, Orchestra Music and Organ Music. The group have been working on the concerts for the past three weeks and have been doing splendid work. The charge of $1.00 for season tiekets for students and (Continued on Page Four) UNIVERSITY STUDENTS FAV8RED IIS TEACHERS Proof that the so-called flippant co-ed has more executive ability than is usually accorded her, is of fered by students of the University high school. “A lot of personality, thorough ness, some one near our age—that’s the way we regard supervised teachers,” was the expression made by several students who are doing practice teaching in the campus high school. “We have a tradition,” said a senior boy, “which is to the effect that we should obey the practice teachers, and keep good order. The University students have a lot of personality, they know their sub ject, and they put spirit into their classes. I consider supervised teachers quite a success.” “A sense of honor exists here,” was the remark made by a sopho more girl, “so we respect all of the supervised teachers.” According to some of the high school students, the University wo men have more order in their classes than the men, while the men conduct their classes in a way that is less formal. From the standpoint of the edu cation staff of the University, the majority of the teaching by stu dents is excellently done. As the students have only one class to teach, they spend from two to three hours in the preparation of their lesson plans, while the regular teacher usually spends from 20 to 40 minutes in the preparation of her work, depending upon the num ber of lessons which she has to conduct. In a large number of cases, the student teaches his major subject, although there are some fluctuations because of the difficulty of arrang ing schedules to comply with classes. In these instances, the supervised teacher is investigated, and it is seen that she has had a reasonable amount of college train ing in the subject which she is to teach. “Visitors,” remarked a member of the University staff, “often lis ten to a class and afe not aware that the teacher is not a regular one until informed of the contrary. HUGE RALLY SPELLS RUIN FOR WHITMAN GRID HOPES HILLY INSPIRES TEAM FOR GOME I Rain Does not Prevept Big Crowd From Assembling To Hear Coach Maddock ROYAL ROOTERS SOUGHT Oregon fighting spirit, of the sort which hasn’t been seen on the cam pus for several years, was the pre dominating factor at last night’s rally in preparation for the Whit man-Oregon game today. The spirit was strong enough to compel hun dreds of loyal students to brave the drizzling rain to pay their re spects to the team which is giving every evidence of bringing back the football prestige which Oregon has formerly possessed. Coach is Pleased Coach Joe Maddock, who was finally induced to speak to the crowd, declared that he was glad to see the sort of spirit which he was used to. He believes that because of this same spirit, Oregon will have the chance to be mighty proud of its team before the season is over. Bill Hayward, trainer for the team, exclaimed that he was pleased by the huge demonstration, for it made the team feel good* And Bart Spellman, who is coaching what is soon to be a duplicate of the fa mous 1916 line, told the crowd that theh team will not have an easy time with Whitman, but that it can be depended upon to give its best. Martin Makes Pisa : The Armory more than once re verperated with the piercing “osk ies.” Team yells came as spon taneously and whole heartedly to the pleadings of the perspiring cheer leaders, as ever in the hall which has formed the back ground for many an historical event. • An earnest plea was made by Freddie Martin, yell king, for a large turnout for the Royal Root ers, which he is organizing as a group of 400 trained men to lead the cheers from a special reserved section in the bleachers, at the Homecoming game with Washing ton next Saturday. HOMECOMING TICKETS SELLING OUT RAPIDLY Tickets for the ftomecoming game between Oregon and the Uni versity of Washington, are being sold out rapidly, and indications are that there will be a record breaking attendance, according to Jack Benefiel, graduate manager, who is in charge of the seat sale. The alumni section has been sold out, and 600 seats ha-je been re served by the University of Wash ington. About one-third of the seats have already been reserved, although the general sale to the public will not commence until Saturday noon. HIGH SCHOOL DEBATE QUESTION IS CHOSEN “Resolved: That the Japanese should be admitted to the United States under the quota determined by the general immigration law,” is the subject chosen by the Doug lass debate club of the University high school for interclass debates, which will start November 24. Joy Johnson has been chosen as debate coach, and Harl B. Douglass, of the education department of the University, is adviser. Mrs. Mar garet Goodall, English instructor in the campus high, was elected hon orary member to the debate organi zation. Fighting Missionaries Here are Four of “Nig” Borleske’s Crew. Upper left—Captain Hall, halfback; right, Tilton, halfback; lower left, Bloomquist, tackle; right, Corkrum, quarterback. Royal Rooters Club Is Formed ****** To Be Feature At Homecoming A select group of 400 men stu dents are to be organized into a section to be known as the Royal Rooters, whose sole purpose is to form an adequate organisation, drilled in several stunts, to lead the yelling which is always a feature at the annual Homecoming game. ' Freddie Martin, yell king, is spon soring the organization. A section of approximately 400 seats are to be reserved for the Royal Rooters in the bleachers along the 40-yard line and only those men wrho have practiced the stunts are to be admitted. The pur pose of the organization is to pro vide something a little out of the ordinary for the scores of alumni and visitors who will be at the game. “Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 o’clock will mark the initial work out of the R.-R’s.*” says Martin. “Joe has promised to put the team through its paces for the speeta tors, and that alone will merit the trip over to Haywatd field. The band will also be in its section to render a few selections and, all in all, it will be nothing less than a good old bleacher work-out—one of those work-outs which will drive the team up to championship cali ber. “Be there at 4:30 and if you have enough of the Old Oregon Fight, one of the choice 400 seats will be yours.” It is expected that each organi zation on the campus will make it a point to see that it is rep resented by as many of its mem bers as can possibly take the short time off, Tuesday afternoon, in or der to practice the stunts. Bleacher stunts are always very valuable both as a means to hold the inter est of the crowd to the highest pitch and to push the team to do its very best. Martin expects every loyal Oregon man to be there Tues day afternoon. B. O. T. C. DELINQUENT LIST PUBLISHED EACH MONDAY There is a delinquent list pub lished at th^B. O. T. C. headquar ters every Monday morning. This list is published for the benefit of the students; so that if in some manner they have missed drill or have been accidentally marked ab sent the correct adjustments may be made. This list has the stu dents’ names listed under the of ficer to whom they are to report. All students taking drill are re quested to look over the list once a week. INTEREST LESS IN WORK ON HOKEOOSIINO PEN ANTS The response to the request sent to the freshman girls to assist with the making of the penants for Homecoming was not as favorable yesterday as the turn-out Thursday. It is the desire of those in eharge that the work be finished as rapidly as possible and they wish that the freshmen women be reminded that they are expected to volunteer their services. The work is being done at the Y. W. C. A. bungalow and the freshmen are welcome to come any time. WHITMAN'S TERM PRIMED TO WIN Missionaries Said to Have Light But Fast Machine To Meet Maddock’s Men SPEEDY STYLE IS USED With a string of eighteen men. Coach Borleske has come to Eugene with the prime purpose of avenging the innumerable defeats that have been administered to his teams by Oregon grid squads. The weakness of the Oregon var sity evident in the Willamette and Pacific games has roached Walla Walla, and “Nig,” who has devel oped a fast and speedy team, that is a dangerous combination when playing an inexperienced team, hopes to turn the tables on Mad dock’s men and nose the varsity out of a victory. Missionaries Speedy Although the Oregon eleven is far from a perfected machine, and even in some departments very weak,, they still retain the old Oregon fight thSt aided them in making a very good showing against the Cardinals last week-end. The Whitman team is somewhat lighter than the varsity, however, the Missionaries’ style of game in speedy, and fast men are more of an asset to Borleske than slow and hefty line-men. In Dean and Til ton, the Whitman coach has a re markable pair of wing men. Al though only a freshman, Dean proved his value in several early seasonal contests and working with Tilton, a former half, the Whitman squad will have little worry as to the weakness of wing men. Seed at Tackle The Oregon line-up will be prac tically the same as that in tho Stanford game. McMullen will be held in reserve as center, as Carl Johnson has not recovered from in juries suffered in the Cardinal con test. Beed will start his old posi tion at left tackle while Bliss will start as end. The game today will be of great importance to Joe Maddock in get ting a final line on the strength of his eleven before the big Home coming game with Washington. The Oregon squad should be swinging into mid-season form in preparation for the Huskie contest and today’s game will do much to prove the real calibre of the Lem on-Yellow gridsters. The probable line-up for tomor row’s contest will be as follows: Oregon W hitman Mautz.L.E. Dean Kerns. L.T. L. Beed L.G. Conley ... C. Smith B.G. Batchford r.T. Beed B.E. Tilton . ..Q. Corkrum Vitus.B.H. Hall Terjesen.L.H. Lackey Jones.F. Neilson Bailey. Wilson.... Shields .... Beed. Bliss.
