According to an agreement j reached yesterday by Coach Padl j Sehissler of the Aggies, who is in the east, and William Coffey, Mar quette graduate manager, the game will be played in Milwaukee next Thanksgiving day.

About time Oregon was signing up for one of these East versus West games. Paavo Nurmi of Finland, world’s I champion middle distance runner and Finland’s ace in the Olympics will leave England 'for the United States on about December 15. While in this country he will give 5 several exhibition races and has al- j ready agreed to run in the Finnish American indoor track meet in Madison Square Garden, New York, early this spring. In this meet he will probably be pitted against Willie Eitola, an other Finnish star of the Olympics. Although Eitola’s real ability is shown in longer razees, it is expect ed that if the two do meet, present indoor track records are liable to be brdken. * . ■* Negotiations for a home-and home football contract between the 'University of Washington and the University of ’Nebraska have been completed, Darwin Meisnest, Wash ington’s graduate manager, an nounced yesterday.

Just what Mathews will do has not been de cided. Mathews has but a one-year con tract with the University of Idaho. His less would be a severe blow to Idaho as well as coast conference football.

Oregonian Colony In NewYork Seems Pleased WithW ork Of Football Team (By Arthur S. Rudd, Former Emerald Editor) New York, Dec. 6.—(Special to the Emerald)—New York’s “Ore gon colony” is elated over the re quite of the recent football season. Portland papers and Oregon Daily Emeralds which find their way to the island of Manhattan were de voured hungrily by the webfoot gang. The fact that eastern papers run nothing more than the score of western athletic contests is a constant source of irritation to the followers of western sport activit ies here. Oregon people in New York are too busy to get really lonesonnt; but nevertheless copies of the Emerald are in great demand, and frequent gossip sessions abjout .Mngs at Eugene are evidence that those who have ever trod the Ore gon campus green are not forget ting “days at Oregon.” The Emer alds -which have come to this writer have already gone the rounds of John Piyer, who is with a News paper Alliance; Ernest Haycox, free-lance writer; Frances Morgan, who is teaching in Ridgewood, N. J., and Ted Walstrum, musician, who expects to return to the Ore gon campus next spring, and Her man Blaesing, who is taking spe cial work at Columbia. Meeting Amherst students means a strengthening of regard for the little giant who visited the Oregon campus last spring.

Under the direction of Charlotte ; Winnard, chairman of the religious educational committee of the local Y. W. C. A., the work is being out lined and the leaders, who will be j i prominent members of the faculty, j | are being chosen. | The response to. the suggestion of ( conducting such discussions in the living organizations has been very good, Miss Winnard declares. It has met with as much approval as was shown last year. All of the living organizations except two of the houses and the halls are to con duct such discussions. The halls, however, will invite campus author ities on various phases of science, religion, philosophy, and art, to speak to them on their respective interests. The religious discussions will be conducted in a series of six meet ings which will continue through the winter term. MRS. WARNER TRAVELS THROUGH CHINESE REVOLUTIONARY LINES (By H. R.) After traveling in a heatless j train at the rate of 80 miles in 31 1-2 hours, fired upon with ma chine guns by insurgent Chinese, and without much food, Mrs. Ger trude B. Warner writes to her son, Sam Bass Warner, that she has ar rived in Tientsin safely, with all her museum pieces for her Oriental art collection. In her letter Mrs. Warner de scribes how several Amgjicans left Peking in this manner rather than risk staying in the capital during tfie possible seige of General Feng’s revolutionists. The train goes from Peking to the sea coast about twice a week under the guard of American, Eng lish, French and Japanese. Upon several occasions the Americans planned to leave, hut were warned j not to, since the train passed | through the firing line. Finally, however, the Belgian ! minister was ordered to another ! post, and faced with the possibility | of being bottled up in Peking where the Bolshevist Russian ambassador outranked all ministers and where food might become unobtainable, Mrs. Warner and her companions ehose to try the train. After getting permits from the legation, the party boarded the train at 4:20 a. ;m. one morning. They were preceded by an engine loaded with English guards to look out for bombs and disconnected rails. The engine was repeatedly fired upon, and several times the train was stopped by missing rails or sandbags on the tracks, besides the necessity of waiting on other trains. Many hours later, when the train came to the lines of the other army, it was fired upon by ma chine guns, and the passengers were obliged to lie in the bottom of the train. Another danger con fronted them in that this army was retreating, and at any moment Feng’s men might arrive and kill them all. The track ahead was congested, and the train had to stop for the night. The next morning, when the journey was completed, it was dis covered that General Wu, defeated, had fled, leaving his soldiers un paid, ana the head of one of his rebellious officers stuck up in the railway station.

A. accord ing to the term employment Teport issued by Mrs. Donnelly, employ ment secretary. The number of odd jobs this term is about 1600. The number for the whole of last year was only 2000.

This committee has appointed sub committees to take the actual or ders and to take the measurements of the prospective wearer in order that the garment will fit according to the very latest college style. “Blue Jeans” are expected to prove very economical , as well as 'practical. Their cost will be about $2.00 a pair. Each pair of trousers will be tailored to the measurement 'of the purchaser. They will have 20-inch bottoms, large belt loops, if desired, large cuff at the bottom, and small yellow “TJ” with an “O” super-imposed and a miniature “’27” within the “O” in a little square over the left front pocket. The firm of Paul Green, 713 Wil lametto street, will be the exclusive agents for “Blue Jeans” and sopho mores may place their orders with Mr. Green at any time. The mater ial of the pants will be of heavy blue denim which will take a press fairly well. The extreme width of the legs should, in a measure, keep them from bagging at the knees.

Mimnaugh, prominent Port land lumberman and loyal Oregon friend, has been elected general chairman of the whole Shields bene fit drive. Meetings are held daily by this Portland organization, and the commendable feature of these meetings is the fact that every col lege in the Northwest and Pacific Coast football conference has a delegate at these benefit meets. These western college representa tives have pledged undivided sup port to back this Christmas day game. These delegates are taking tickets back to their own far-away schools to dispose of them for an injured warrior of their “brother college.” Portlanders Show Spirit Many of the Portland ticket buyers have expressed the idea that they will probably be unable to at tend the contest, but they are buy ing the pasteboards in the spirit of really helping a deserving grid hero.

Bill Poulson, campus chairman, estimates that by tomorrow night every single stu dent on the campus will have one or more tickets, regardless of whether they will be able to see the game. Close to 15 fraternity houses have pledged one hundred per cent, while many of the remaining living or ganizations are holding house meet ings today with an intent to pledge unanimously in favor of backing the Christmas day contest.
