VOLUME XXVI UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1924 NUMBER 36 RIVAL ELEVENS IN EQUAL FORM Coach Working Team Hard On New Plays; Running Interference Stressed 1SIO INJURIES IN LINE-UP Schissler’s and Matfdock’s Systems to be Tested In Game Next Saturday The Oregon-O. A. C. grid contest at ■Corvallis this Saturday will serve as a fitting elimax to an un expected successful Oregon football season. Due to the unusual strength of the majority of conference elevens, neither Oregon nor O. A. C. was ex pected to make much of a showing against such aggregations. This year, inasmuch as both of these schools had adopted new mentors, but the work of the Beavers and the varsity has created considerable surprise along the coast; and when Oregon clashes with the Agfgies this week-end, it will be a contest between two elevens of real calibre. Oregon started the season with a mediocre brand of football, but the squad has improved in form beyond all expectations. Against two of the heaviest teams in the confer ence, Washington and W. ». C., i Coach Maddock did not make a single substitution, a feat which stamps the excellent shape, fight and ability of the first-string men. Likewise, Coach Schissler’s men got off to a rather poor start; but in their recent victory over the Cougars, the Aggies displayed a marked improvement over their showing in other contests. When Oregon faces the Beavers iu the Bell arena next Saturday af ternoon, the teams will be equally matched as to material, ability and records in previous contests. Each has a nem coach. However, the team having the most fight or bet ter primed for the contest will probably win by a slim margin. The styles of play taught by Schissler and Maddock are as much alike as the two schools which the « two mentors represent. The Mad dock-fundamental system, however,: will cause the Aggie players con siderable trouble. For in the Wash ington State game, the Oregon of fensive was very effective in car rying the ball down the field on several occasions. Much can be said for the success of the Beaver offensive; but several times when the ball was under the shadow of their opponents’ goal posts, the Ag gie eleven failed to punch or drive the ball across. This week both teams are hard at work preparing for the big tilt. Maddock is working his men well into the dark, drilling them in a few new plays to use against the Beavers. MHich time is also spent in perfecting the Oregon defense, with stress put on the blocking and running of interference. All of the Oregon varsity men are in good shape, none of the players (Continued on Page Four) -o New Student Union Head if&A/A/£tA.-r£JL.£/S~/?<?OTa Bob Mautz BOB MAUTZ IS NAMED STUDENT ONION HEAD Committee to be Chosen After Thanksgiving Bob Mautz has been appointed chairman of the Student Union campaign for this year by Randall Jones, president of the student body. The work will be conducted in much the same manner as it was last spring and will emphasize es pecially the payment of pledges promised then, and an active drive to get all the freshmen to sub scribe. Although the actual campaign will not take place until the spring quarter, the committee, which is to be announced after the Thanksgiv ing holidays, will be working oq plans right along in order to put over a drive as successful as the one last year. Many of those who signed pledges have been lax in their payments and the committee will work to bring this money in, so the actual funds -will be available for the building plans. The freshmen class especially will be well Organized and with publicity and pep talks an effort will be made to get them all to swing into line. STUDENTS WILL SELL SANDWICHES ON TRAIN Bob McCabe and Rodney Keating will sell sandwiches and candy on the special student train to O. A. C. next Saturday. They also in tend to edit a paper similar to the Yellow Fang, containing sidelights on the campus and its celebrities, which will be sold for five cents a copy. Sandwiches will go for 15 cents apiece, or two for a quarter. The proceeds derived from this sale will be turned over to the Women’s League treasury. C0GGLESH4LL TO ADDRE3S GEOLOGY CLASS THURSDAY Arthur S. Coggeshall, who is to be tomorrow’s assembly speaker, will talk at 9:00 o’clock Thursday to the geology class, which meets at that hour, and to all geology majors. EXHIBITION OF JAPANESE ARTIST’S PAINTINGS WILL BE OPENED TODAY Paintings in oils, varying' from portraits to landscapes and still lifes, may be seen upon the open ing of the exhibition of the work of Tokio Ueyama, Japanese painter, beginning this afternoon at 3:30 o’clock, in the gallery in the arts building. Tea will be poured, and the official opening will be under the auspices of the Allied Arts league, the Sculpture club, the Nor mal Arts club, and the Architects’ club. The work of Ueyama reveals the attempt to blend two great cultures —and varies from the decorative to ! the realistic. Though a Japanese, i Mr. Ueyama has received his train ing in this country and in Europe. The artist is a graduate of the college of fine arts at the Univer sity of Southern California, 1914, : where he was the winner of the gold medal. He studied in the Pennsylvania Academy of Fin*e Arts under Henry McCarter, Hugh Breckenridge and Daniel Garber from 1917 to 1920. Ueyama won a free scholarship in * 1919. He traveled in Spain, Italy, and France, gathering a varied back ground. Further recognition has come to hiim in that he is a member of the Fellowship of Pennsylvania Acad emy of Fine Arts, and is perma nently represented in the galleries of Pennsylvania State college and the museum of Houston, Texas. The tea is being held to officially open the exhibition, and all art lov ers, whether students, faculty mem bers or townspeople, are in-vyted to be present. The gallery will be open to the public for at least an other week. FACULTY HEARS DEAR SEASHORE Scientist Discusses Task Of Choosing Students For Higher Education HONORS SYSTEM URGED Methods Now Used Hinder Those of Exceptional Capacity, He Declares “The slogan -which I wish that every instructor wou|W iad|Dpt,” said Dean C. E. Seashore, when he spoke before about fifty members of the ’ University faculty at the Anchorage last night, “is this; ‘Keep every student busy at his highest natural level of successful achievement.' I am here to ask your assent to that proposition. The universities at present are killing off achievement. They are allow ing the eight, nine, and ten talent mind to invest in one, two, and three talents, and be praised for that.” Dean Seashore is representing the Division of Educational Relations in the National Research Council. He said that when they first began their survey of the facilities for research, they found a super abundance of equipment in every field. Therefore, they decided that the thing that was needed was brains—of the kind that will make future scientists. Able Students Needed In the search, they first entered the senior classes of the various educational? institution^, igi ordjer to see that the ablest students ob tained fellowships. However, they found that the ablest men were al ready spoken for in, other walks of life, and that science was being forced to take the second best. Next, they began at the beginning —with the freshman year. At first, this promised to be success ful. However, they soon found that the colleges were not engaged in taking care of the type of students that they wanted. “About this time,” said Dean Seashore, “we reached., the con clusion that the whole American higher educational system was be ing forced down to an effort to as similate the masses turned in in discriminately, and that the aver age instructor was sitting in the class-room and _helping the cripple, while the good student loafed. For this reason, we decided that the most important thing we could do would be to establish a clearing house for the discussion of im portant questions. Statistics are Gathered | “In order to pave the way for such a clearing, I have been asked to listen in, and find what its general character should be. I have not gathered statistics, but have proceeded in an informal way, i and have added any discoveries in [ a list which now numbers about I 125 items.” SENIOR CLASS MEETING A senior class meeting has« been called for 4:30 today by Tftd GiUenwaters, president of the senior class. A number of | vital topics will be discussed. O*.... .. ■ Yearlings Learn Game from Veteran Coach Williams; Maddock System is Used MT. ANGEL IS DEFEATED Aggie Rook and Washington Contests Lost by Small Margin in Scrappy Tilts (By Ward Cook) The freshman ' football eleven wound up its season in the Wash ington bowl at Seattle last Satur day with a 7 to 0 defeat at the hands of the Washington Babes. While the season was not an es pecially successful one, inasmuch as the frosh lost to both the O. A. C. Books and the Washington year lings, nevertheless some mighty promising varsity material was un covered in prospect for next year. The real purpose of a freshman team, after all, is to uncover and develop likely looking varsity ma terial. Oftentimes a freshman foot ball coatli deserves much more credit in this line than he receives. About 90 candidates answered the first call for freshman football practice. These were gradually weeded down until about three teams were kept out for practice throughout the season. Several men remained out and scrimmaged the first team although they did not have a chance to play in any of games or make any of the trips. (Continued on Poge Four) BENAVENTE’S PLAY IS ARTISTICALLY GIVEN (By Leon Byrne) , . It was the prompter's night last night at Guild, hall. The promyter had things all his own way. Even at that, the audience which wit nessed the first performance of “Princess Bebe,” by Benavente, came away satisfied that they had seen real drama. Perhaps it was Benaventejs fault, perhaps the ac tors themselves furnished. the ele ment of satisfaction. Be that as it may, the production (might have ranked with the. best produced by the local Thespians in late years had more time been spent on it’s preparation. The theme of “Princess Bebe,” not brought out until the last scenes of the play, is that we, as mortals, cannot go against our na tures. Born a Bourgepise, we must always remain a Bourgeoise; born to the nobility, we are noble in whatever circumstances fat© places us. The question is an open one. Benavente’s presentation of his thesis is artistic and convincing one leaves the theatre with the feeling that Princess Bebe has acted rightly in following the call of her heart to true love and •free dom—unless one is a Methodist. The local presentation of “Prin cess Bebe,” which will be repeated tonight and tomorrow night, has enough stars on its roster to pack the little theatre. Two-Day Campaign for Red Cross To Open On Campus This Morning Effort Will Be Made To Have Every Student Sign Membership; Solicitors Named For Organizations The two-day Red Cross member ship campaign will open on the campus this morning.

SKETCH OF PROPOSED FINE ARTS BUILDING A R. C n ' T 3 l~ A W K- C. N g. EL 6* HO l» r O ft D ARTS BUILDING FUND SOLICITED New Structure to be Built When $100,000 of State Wide Campaign is Raised DONATIONS ARE NEEDED Contributors of $500 or More to Have Names on New Memorial Tablet (By Mary West) The erection of a Fine Arts build ing on the campus will be com menced as soon as the first $100, 000 of the state-wide campaign for $300,000 is in hand. This announce ment was made by Mrs. Irene H. Gerlinger, member of the board of regents of the University, who is supervising the campaign. A chairman has been appointed in each county and city of the state to seek gifts in his commun ity for this cause. It is believed that every alumnus of the Univer sity will present something in the naturo of a cash gift to this fund, irrespective of his large gifts and pledges to the alumni special cam paign for the University library, this by way of a token of good will to the cause of art and to the University. Thousands of small gifts are expected to pour into this fund as well as many substantial ones. Contributions to be Honored All who contribute will have their names written into the Great Book of Remembrance, which will be an object of special interest in the building. Gifts of $500 or more will entitle one to space on the memorial tablet, as in the case of the Woman’s building. The ques tion each alumnus is being asked is—“Will your name be written there! ” Handicapped as the University is, there prevails a spirit of appre ciation of art among the student* Noteworthy gifts which have come lately to stimulate them to an understanding of the best in art are “The Pioneer,” modeled by A. Phimister Proctor, the beautiful Murray Warner collection of Orien tal art, and the Millican Indian collection. Other valuable objects of art and collections are promised as gifts as soon as a fireproof building is avail able. The Woman’s building has given nearly all the space origin ally designed for club purposes to the Warner and Millican collec tions. This space is utterly inade quate for museum purposes and must as quickly as possible be re stored to the students for its orig inal purpose. Gift Campaign Necessary President Campbell and the board of regents, realizing that it is im possible to ask tho state for special appropriations now, and having no margin from millage taxes for a costly building of this kind, decid ed to seek tho necessary funds through tho channels of the gift campaign. Mrs. Gerlinger, the head of the campaign, is widely known over tho state for her inter est in bringing about tho construc tion of the now famous Woman’* building, and her gathering of a large proportion of the construc tion fund. PERIOD FOR PRESENTING WITHDRAWAL CARDS ENDS No withdrawals from the Uni versity without petitioning the faculty will be allowed after today, according to word from the regis trar's office. Any withdrawal* after today without petitioning the facplty will mean “F” on the grade sheet for all subjects for which the student is registered. AH who have ‘withdrawal cards must present them today or they will be invalid, it is further announced. EMERALD STAFF MEETING WILL BE HELD THURSDAY A staff meeting of the Emerald will bo held Thursday at 4:30 in the leeture room of the journalism building. All members are ex pected to bfe present. Don Wood ward, editor, will discuss several new plans intended to increase the efficiency of the staff.
