Team Keyed Up For Annual Battle With Beavers
VARSITY READY
TO CLASH WITH
AGGIE ELEVEN
Jack Bliss Unable to Play
Game; Out of the Line
up With Injured Foot
OREGON GRIDSTERS
LEAVE TOMORROW A.M.
Tebbs Gives Beaver Squad
Kicking Advantage Over
The Lemon-Yellow Team
With the varsity eleven imbued
with a determined fighting spirit,
Oregon is prepared to meet the Ag
gie team at Corvallis this Saturday
to vie for .grid supremacy.
The squad is in excellent condi
tion with the exception of Jack
Bliss. This stocky little scrappy
end is out of the line-up with a»
infected foot and will be unable
to play against the Beavers. At
present, Coach Maddoek has seve
ral promising recruits holding down
this wing position. Sherm Smith
will probably start the gpme in
place of Bliss. Jens Terjeson, who
has been out of the line-up for
several days with a light attack of
flu, turned out in a suit last night
and will be ready to start the game
at half.
Final Practice Today
The varsity will hold its final
practice before the big battle, this
afternoon. The team will have a
light work-out and then will be in
tip-top shape to fight the Beavers
tomorrow.
The teams are very well matched,
though the Aggies have a decided
advantage over Maddoek’s men in
kicking. Tebbs, a kicker of excep
tional merit, has about a 15-yard
lead over Anderson on every kick.
The varsity is prepared, however,
to let the Beavers do the kicking,
while Oregon uses the offensive.
Advanced leports from Corvallis
indicate that the Aggies are “sure
of victory.” The O. A. C. paper
says, “A serene feeling of confi
dence is noticeable among the men,
not one of whom doubts the ability
of the home team to beat the in
vaders.” However this “serene con
fidence” of the Aggie tea%. may
prove to be one of the factors caus
ing the downfall of this over-con
fident eleven.
O. A. C. in Good Shape
The O. A. C. squad is also in good
shape and bound to put up a stub
born resistence to the Oregon of
fense. With the return of two men
on the Aggie line-up from the in
jured list, the Beavers have an in
tact squad, and will be able to use
a host of reserves against the var
sity.
The Oregon team will be here to
night and will get a chance to at
tend the rally. With rousing sup
port promised from the students for
tonight’s rally, the varsity will
again be inspired with the confi
dence placed in them by Oregon
students, in their ability to fight
the Aggies to a victory.
Tomorrow morning, the team will
leave for Corvallis and be ready
to go into the Bell arena at 1:30
Saturday afternoon.

Request is Made That All
Students Return From
Corvallis and Attend
Tuxedos May Be Worn If
Desired; Committee On
Checkroom is Appointed
“No class can ever give a dance
that will mean even a drop in the
bucket to compare with winning
that game with O. A. C.,” were the
words of Eandall Jones, student
body president at the sophomore
meeting held yesterday. “What we
want to do,” he continued, “is to
go to the game, come back victori
ous and enjoy a real dance, and
thats what the Sophomore Informal
is going to be.”
Concerning the dance, Russell
Lawrence, president of the sopho
more class said, “its going to be
unique—there’s never been any
think like it before as far as
decorations, features, and refresh
ments go, and that’s the whole
dance. If we win, its going to be
the peppiest dance ever given on
the campus—and we ’re going to
win, and who’ll want to stay in
Corvallis. Its their homecoming—
let them have it!”
As far as clothes go, if men
want to wear tuxedoes, the class
wants them to wear them. In years
gone by quite a majority of the
men have worn them, and if any
thing, they add to the dance. This
was the opinion of Dudley Clarke,
chairman of the dance.
iA new committee, to take care
of the checkroom was announced
yesterday by Russell Lawrence. The
following comprise it: Evangeline
Knox, Esther Craddock, Bertha
Berger, Hugh Biggs, Penn Wilbur
and John Stepson.
HOMECOMING COMMITTEE
ATTENDS DINNER DANCE
The committee for Homeeoming
disbanded last night with a dinner
dance at the Campa Shoppe as its
last meeting. About forty couples,
paired off by lottery, enjoyed the
affair which was held from five
o’clock until seven-thirty. The long
tables were lighted by candles and
cyclamen plants were the table
decorations. Jack High, head of
the Homecoming committee was in
charge of the affair.

Costly Oriental
Rugs, Lost After
Dance at Armory,
Are Still Missing
The two Oriental rugs belonging
to the Kappa Kappa Gamma house
and used for decorating at the
Homecoming dance in the armory,
are still missing. The approximate
time at which they were taken from
the armory has been ascertained,
according to Jack Benefiel, gradu
I ate manager.
The girls prize these rugs a great
deal because they are gifts to the
house, and a reward will be given
for any information leading to
their recovery. Anyone having any
knowledge of these rugs at present,
should communicate with the Kap
pa house or the graduate manager.
Mr. Benefiel thinks it likely that
some student took the rugs for
decoration in his room, not realiz
ing how highly their owners value
them.
ARTICLE BY OREGON
liN TO BE PUBLISHED
An article entitled “The Mathe
matics of Biology,” written by Os
car W. Richards, teaching fellow
in zoology at the University, is
to appear in an early issue of the
American Mathematical Monthly.
The interest of the article lies in
the fact that it is one of the first
attempts to take an inventory of
mathematical biology.
According to the article, mathe
matical statements may be used to
predict what will happen in similar
situations. Such phenomena as a
growth in the length of branches
of an apricot tree, the growth in
weight of a white rat and the
growth of many other plants and
animals as well as human beings,
may be expressed in mathematical
formula.
Another thing of interest is the
fact that the healing of a wound
may be predicted by a mathemati
cal formula if the initial size of the
wound and the age of the patient
is known.
“High Test Scores Attained by
Sub-Average Minds,” is the title
of another article written by Mr.
Richards jointly with Dr. S. C.
Kohs, formerly of the extension di
vision of the University.
This article, which is to appear
in the Journal of 'Educational Psy
chology, gives a citical study of the
construction,- use and scoring of.
two alternative types of intelli
gence tests.
ANCIENT ANIMAL
LIFE DISCUSSED
A. S. Coggeshall of Carnegie
Museum of Pittsburg
Gives Assembly Address
Authority Says West Was
Formerly Home of Giant
Prehistoric Dinosaurs
Methods of excavating prehistor
ic animals and of learning the con
ditions of their existence were re
lated at the assembly yesterday
morning when Dr. Arthur S. Cogge
shall of the Carnegie Museum of
Pittsburg, gave a talk on “Turning
Back the Clock Six Million Years.”
The speaker outlined the develop
ment of varioiffe animals from the
far distant past to the present day,
1 explaining the natural process of
development.
Dr. Coggeshall described the ex
cavation of dinosaurs in Utah, em
phasizing the fact that the West
was formerly the home of many
prehistoric monsters and that it
has contributed many remains to
the study of early life.
Dr. Coggeshall traced the devel
opment of the elephant from the
time it was “no larger than a
Newfoundland dog” to the present
time. He explained the trunk as

Riccardo Martin
Pleases Audience
With Expression
And Personality
(By Emily Houston)
One of the most interesting pro
grams presented recently was given
last night in the Christian church
when Riccardo Martin, famous
American tenor, assisted by Hubert
Carlin at the piano delighted a
large Eugene audience. The pleas
ing personality of the two artists
added not a little to compositions
which were excellently interpreted.
Mr. Martin’s songs, given in
French, German, Italian and Eng
lish, were excellent with the dram
atic baritone quality of his voice,
which though tenor also had lyric
qualities. One of his heaviest
pieces, “Vieni Giocare” from the
Russian with Italian verses by him
self was . brilliantly done. His
group of four French love songs
were especially delightful and
most pleasing to the audience were
the old Arioso from “I Pagliacci”
by Leoncavallo and his encore
“Drink to Me Only With Tliine
Eyes.” Mr. Martin’s humorous ex
planations of the story of the songs
in other languages added greatly
to the appreciation of them.
The piano pieces “Sarabande” by
Bach-Godow'sky, a transposition of
an old Hebrew melody, “Etude” by
Chopin and two Spanish dances by
Alberieg and De Falla, played by
Hubert Carlin were especially pleas
ing. They showed a discriminative
player, well marked rhythms and an
understanding interpretation.
The program was arranged for
and made poss^le through the ef
fort of Benjamin Edwards, music
instructor in the Eugene Bible uni
versity.
SUBSCRIPTION DRIVE
FOR RED CROSS ENDED
The Red Cross drive on the cam
pus ended yesterday evening, but
the money has not been turned in
yet, so it is impossible to estimate
how much has been subscribed.
The faculty are being solicited to
day by a special committee, under
the direction of Beulah Clark. A
student is assigned to eaeh build
ing.
Only $75 has been taken in at the
library and Co-op during the last
two days, and unless the faculty
and organizations bring up the
quota it will fall short of last
year’s $500. All who had charge of
the drive in the organizations aro
asked to turn in their money at
Dean Walker’s office in the admin
istration building, not later than
this noon.

AMERICA IS PROVINCIAL
DR. NIC AFFEE ADVISES
“Ono of the greatest sins of
America is provincialism,” said Dr.
Lapsoy McAffee in his address to
men interested in religious work,
at the “Y” hut Wednesday noon.
“We should all be more interested
in the other fellow. America should
concern itself with the affairs of
Europe, and university students
should look beyond the boundaries
of their campus.”
Dr. McAffee, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church of Berkeley,
California, has been on the campus
during the first part of the week,
addressing several gatherings while
here. One of these was the meeting
of girls T*uesday under the auspices

PARADE STARTS
AT CORNER OF
13TH AND ALDER
Rooters to Serpentine Down
Streets and Circle Back
To Men’s Gymnasium
RALLY DANCE PLANNED
TO FOLLOW PROGRAM
Prominent Alumni to Speak
To Assembled Students
At Climax of Pep Fest
Rain or shine, Oregon rallies to
night.
The foe is Oregon’s traditional
rival, the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege. A victory ia almost sachar
ine in its sweetness—and a defeat
most bitter.
Tonight the process of “Busting
the Beavers” will begin in earnest
when the entire student body sets
in motion the wheels of Oregon’s
mighty fate-breaking football ma
chine.
At 7:15 the loyal Oregon hosts
will gather.
Band to Lead
From every house of residence
the legions of the Lemon-YaBow
will hasten to Thirteenth and Alder,
whero assembly has been called by
the Yell King. The 'crowd, lending
itself to the intoxication of an O.
A. C. rally, will probably wreck the
peace of Eugene theatres and res
taurants.
Led by the band, the giant serpen
tine, the men and women marching
to the chant of “ Oregon—-Oregan—
Rah-Rah — Oregon—” will even
tually find itself in the men’s gym
nasium, where speakers will tell of
the traditional significance of this
annual struggle.
Short talks will be given by Del
Oberteuffer, former Oregon Yell
King; Judge L. T. Harris, formerly
of the Oregon supreme court, Bas
Williams, Oregon freshman coach;
E. O. Tmmel, Eugene lawyer, and
Joe Maddock, Oregon Varsity coach.
After the talks a rally dance will
be held.
Full Attendance Needed
A full attendance at the rally is
imperative, says Martin, the yell
king. “Every single person in the
entire University should be there,”
he implored last night. “This ral
ly must be bigger than the one
which helped win the Washington
| game.
! A victory over O. A. C. is the one
thing that makes a successful Ore
gon football season.”
Both men and women wi;l march
tonight. A four file column will be
formed, two rows of women botween
to of men.
The committee planning the ral
ly has also made extensive prepara
tions for transporting the students
and townspeople to Corvallis on Sat
urday. A special entertainment
cafe car similar to that provided on
the W. S. C. special to Portland
last week will be provided on tha
O. A. C. special which leaves Vil
lard hall at 10:30. It will arrive at
Bell field in Corvallis, depart im
mediately after the game and will
return to Eugene before six o 'clock.

ganizations are urgently re
quested by Randall Jones, stu
dent body president, to meet in
room 106, Oregon building, 12:46

tative for his organization.”
