• of Sport This Week: Dopsters Outline Football Situation Ihi East and West — bt taneraid sports staff Idaho has 6 veterans out for cross country so they ought to win the distance race easily this week end. They packed off the cham pionship last year and that same squad is back to run again. Pop Warner doesn’t ordinarily put out any dope on football. It don’t do for a man in his position gets the “ha-ha” when he dopes it WTong. However last week-end he said he thought that Washington State would beat California. Now he won’t say anything else for the Test of the season. Some are wondering if O. A. C. is going to get any more snap into her huddle system than Whitman. It looks pretty sloppy beside the even ly timed, fast shifting Pacific team. It’s a joy to wateh a team like that. The Huddle system is not especially popular with the Aggie Alumni we hear. New York and the Eastern states with their world champion ship baseball series have nothing on the Pacific coast states this week. A little world champion ship series all of its own is going on in Seattle, Washington. The world championship of class AA baseball leagues is at stake. Teams battling for this honor are the Seat; tie Indians, winners of the Pacific Coast championship and the Saint Paul team, winners of the Ameri can association title. . This is the first year that such a series has been held and it will no tloubt be continued in the future years. Both teams being champions in their respective leagues, a close series is being held. The games started last Sunday and nine con secutive contests will be played. With Idaho eliminated, the coast Tace has narrowed down to three ■schools, Washington, Stanford and California. However, at present, TT. S. C. is looming in the back ground and may prove itself later in the season to be of champion ship calibre. A real indication of the strength of the Huskies, compared with that of the Cardinals will be brought out In the Oregon-Washington contest. The varsity forced the Stanford eleven to extend its full offensive power and after the comings tilt with the Huskies, Oregon will be a capable measuring stick for the comparison of the strength of the two leading grid outfits on the coast. • * »■ This week-end, California and U. S. C. will battle for the honor of remaining in the conference race. "Whether the Bears are capable of claiming title honors again this year, will be clearly brought out in this game. In the second division, O. A. C. and Idaho will fight for runner-up position in the conference race. The "Vandals have a decided edge over the Aggies, as Mathew’s eleven out played the Stanford team last week end. But thp Beavers also showed considerable promise in holding the powerful Washington team to a very meager score.—W. W, Although the football season is only half over, only two eastern teams, Pennsylvania and Syracuse, lave won all their games to date. Several other teams, including Yale, have clean slates, -but they have played tie games. Syracuse continued its victorious march by defeating Penn State, coached by Hugo Bezdeck, famous Oregon pre-war coaeh, 10 to 6, Saturday. Penn beat Virginia, 27 to 0, but only the week before had its hands full in downing Columbia university 10 to 7. Penn and Syracuse are consider ed the strongest teams in the east. By some peculiar coincidence, two of the strongest teams in the east will face two of the strongest on the coast, when Syracuse lines up against Southern California at Los Angeles, December 6, and Pennsyl vania plays California at Berkeley New Year’s day. It will give the dopesters a real chance to get the relative strength of the teams in the east and coast. For the first time in a decade has the Pacific coast received official recognition. Walter Camp, famous football writer, who picks the “of ficial” All-American team every year, has decided to give the west the once over and will attend the (Continued on Page Three) HOMECOMING SPIRIT TO BLAZE Noise Bedlam To Announce Celebration FRIDAY PARADE Fireworks Display From Skinner’s Butte Starts Promptly at 7:10 Friday NOISE TO REIGN SUPREME Lowest of Cars Will Find Honored Place in Line Of March; Trucks Sought Piercing flashes of lightning, bursts of flame over the tops of downtown buildings, streets jammed tight jvith spectators. Confusion! Bumbles seemingly deep from the bowles of mother earth; shrieking steam whistles from boats and fac tories; crashes, crescendoes, cries, howls, groans, wails, roars: Bedlam! Noise to Feature Much as it was when Tokio shim mied last September: Noise! Noise! Noise! And somewhat the way it will be in Eugene Friday night when the Homecoming parade gets under full' swing. Sharp at 7:10, Friday evening, a gorgeous display of fireworks will be ignited from the top of Skin ner’s butte as a signal for the pa rade to start. Every Devise Used And immediately the long line of steam rollers, trucks, and autos of every kind, size, and description will swiftly get «nder way. Volun teer firemen will strain every mus cle to force the last ounce of steam into the boiler; “whistle purfks” will take a firmer hold on the whistle ropes, and the sirens, saws and sledgehammers will be livened up. Above all, pervading the very at mosphere, . and forming a multicol (.Continued on Page Three) MATHEMATICS CLUB ELECTS PRESIDENT Marie Ridings, graduate assistant in the mathematics department, was elected as the new president of the mathematics club at the last meet ing of the organization. Thirty five members were present, the largest number ever known to at tend one of the club’s meetings, ac cording to Sylvia Veatch, its vice president. Miss Riding’s topic at the mathe matics club meeting was “Magic Squares.” She is teaching part time at the University high school, and is working for her master’s degree. The election of a.new president at this time was made necessary by the failure of Vera Hughes, last year’s president . of the organiza tion, to return to school. Miss Hughes is now teaching in Goble, Oregon. train schedules The following time table tells when the Oregon Electric and Southern Pacific trains will ar rive in Eugene.

Five Men Selected For Cross Country Conference Meet Preceeding Game Keating, Tetz, Jagger, Martin and Oonley with Bafnes and Nelson as alternates were selected as Ore gon’s five-man cross country team at the tryouts yesterday. The driv ing rain did not affect their speed for they made better time than ever before. Last week the course was dry and h’ard and the men wene getting sore legs. At present the course | is in fine shape with the excep tion of the quarter mile track on Hayward field which is virtually a shallow stream. On the hill and around the road the rain softens the course and makes it easy running. Next Saturday will be the first, time that an Oregon cross country team will be running for varsity letters. If they win the conference meet, the whole team gets letters but if they lose they will have noth ing but a chance next year. The conference meet vyill be held immediately preceeding the Home coming game. There is a possibility of having five teams in the meet. Washington is sending down a strong team composed of some of her veteran distance men. Idaho is going to be here strong with five veterans from the championship team last year. O. A C. has not definitely signified her intention of entering a team. The first five men finished yes terday as follows: Keating, Jagger, Tetz, Martin and Conley. Bill Hayward was pleased with the showing of the team. He thinks that it is going to be the best Oregon has had for several years. Jagger is a new man on the team. He turned out just this fall, and has shown such progress that he .finished second in the tryouts.

DEBATE SQUID TO HOLD ELIMINATION TRYOUTS Eight Men to be Selected At Meeting Tonight A second elimination in the squad of men working for a place on the varsity debate team will be held this evening at 7:00 o’clock in Vil lard hall. There are now 15 men on the squad but at this tryout the number will be reduced to eight. Each man will prepare a six minute speech for the trial on one or two points, either affirmative or negative, of the question. The ques tion is concerned with the limiting of the power of the supreme court over Congress. The squad has been meeting three times a week for discussions of the subject in preparation for the sec ond elimination. Those who are dropped from the squad this fall will still have a chance to make the team which will debate in the tri angular meet with Washington, Stanford and Oregon in the spring, said Mr. .Brown, debate coach. The team under present consid eration is the one which will meet O. A. C. in a dual debate on Janu ary 8. Sol Abramson, who will represent Oregon at the Pacific Coast Extem porary Speaking contest in Stan ford on December 2, is training for the meet. This affair was held at Oregon last year when the Univer sity was represented by Martin Moore. EXTENSION SERVICE helps Albany woman — | Evidence of the wonderful ser | vice which the University extension | division is rendering to the state of Oregon, through 4s correspond ence courses, was brought to light Tuesday, when. Mrs. Harry S. M. ] Henderson, a correspondence stu I dent in short story, came from her ■ home in Albany to meet her in structor, Miss f’orkins. “Mrs. Henderson, although past sixty years old, has the pep and enthusiasm of any youth on the campus,” said Dr. Dan Clark of the extension division. “She was a teacher in the first school in San Diego, California, years ago.” “Mrs. Henderson expressed her • appreciation ef the good she has derived from the short story course,” said Dr. Clark.

Clark, of Waterloo, Iowa, will be the speaker at the vesper service next Sunday, atr 4:30 in the Methodist church. .Ho is visiting this part of the country and will speak in the local Congrega tional church the next three Sun days. Rev. Mr. Clark is a friend of Miss Florence Magowan’s family in Waterloo. When Miss Magowan was in normal school in Cedar Rapids, Iowra, he spoke to assemblies there. She says of him that he is one of the most effective speakers to students that she heard while there.

VARSITY SQUAD TRAINS FOR SATURDAY’S GAME Regardless of a driving, soaking rain and a gusty gale, Coach Mad dock is rapidly whipping his team into shape to battle the Huskies Saturday. ’ * With the damp weather forecast ing a sluggish field, the Washing ton team will have a considerable advantage over the varsity. The expected muddy field will be a posi tive help to the powerful driving attack through the line by the .Huskies’ backs with their decided I weight advantage. On the other hand, the aerial game and the dash ing end-run plays used by the Ore gon team will be practically use less under such conditions. After three years of shifting and , rebuilding, with considerable drill | ing in fundamentals, Enoch Bag shaw has worked up at Seattle one of the best working combinations along the coast. Every man in the line weighs at least 180 and up as high as 197 pounds. These men are valuable not only for their size, but also for their speed, and they are noted for their hard, driving offense. With i Dubois and Cole holding down the wing positions, the Huskies little fear a sweeping end run attempted by the opposition. These meu are well versed in the art of getting down on punts and nailing the safety 'in his tracks. t i Kuhn and Petrie are 195-pound taokles who are hard to stop. Much of ithe strength of Bagshaw’s de fense rests in the ability of these (Continued on Page Pour) ED BAILEY, ’13 VISITS UNIVERSITY CAMPUS Ed Bailey, ’13, dropped in on the campus for a short time on Tues day.
