EMERALD DRIVE FOR cum TO SHOT TODAY James Manning Appoints Students From Houses To Canvas Campus Purpose of Drive To Urge Sending Publication To Parents and Friends Today starts the biggest circula tion drive in the Emerald history, representatives of all the living or ganizations on the campus will set out to canvass every student in the University in an endeavor to in crease the student daily’s circula tion from 3,600 to 4,000 or more. Frank Loggan, business manager, and James Manning circulation ma nager, have made the preparatory urangements; and all that remains is for the representatives to gain the consent of the students to have eopies mailed home and obtain from them the necessary student subscrip tion rate. Circulation Grows Yearly Every year the Oregon Daily Emerald has increased in size and circulation until last year it reached the highest point in the total of 3600 subscribers. This number included the copies distri buted to members of the student body who each receive a subscrip tion upon payment of registration fees. The purpose of the drive which starts today is to give all students 'an opportunity to send the Emerald to their parents, who are vitally interested in the student activities covered in each issue. “We had 3600 subscribers on the list last year,” said Frank Loggan yesterday, and “this .year we want 4,100.” Every effort is to be made to get the additional 500 subscri bers. Subscribers Prices Listed Prices of subscription are seventy five cents for one term and two dol lars and twenty-five cents a year. “The Emerald,” said James Man ning yesterday, “is the most vital organ of student activities. It touches all phases of Univer^ty life. Our parents and friends are all interested in lour University and our activities here. The circula tion department sees that the Eme rald is delivered promptly every day to the parents or friends for whom we subscribe. Students seldom find time to do this themselves, even though they intend to. I believe the drive starting today will, be the biggest success the Emerald has had.” Subscriptions may be secured any timJe at the manager’s 'office as well as through the designated repre sentatves. . The office was just re recently moved to the old dipenaary office in the east end of Friendly hall. Representatives Named Assisting James Manning, circu lation manager in conducting the drive are Burton Nelson and the fol lowing representatives: Men’s (Continued on page four) TEAMS TO ORGANIZE FOR NET TOURNAMENT For the first time in the history I of the University, a fall tennis | tournament will be held on the University courts.

The position of Superintendent of buildngs and grounds, left vacant ju-pon the resignation of. H. M. Fisher, is now occupied by A. Mc Kenzie. EXPERIENCE IN TRADE 1 TO ARCHITECTS Dean Lawrence Advises Broad Foundation Practical experience in trades sue as plumbing and carpentering would be invaluable to an architect, but it s not necessary, accordng to Ellis F. Lawrence, dean of the school of architecture. “Our architecture students study the trades in theory,” said Dean Lawrence, “but any practical ex perience would reinforce their know ledge. Architecture is based on something else—the combination of engineering and art. “An architect must have a know ledge bf engineering to $|t>mpute stresses and strains, the strength of materials,” Dean Lawrence con tinued. “He must be a creative artist in order to express these beautifully.” Many architects have come out of the mechanics class, but their work as a whole is not superior tlo that of men who have not had the prac tical experience. Dean Lawrence believes, however, that work in the trades would be of material assis tance to an architect, in that it would broaden his foundation. “With the advancement of the sciences and increase in competi tion,” Dean Lawrence said, “few men can succeed without a thorough foundation. One of the essential characteristics necessary to a suc cesful architect is administrative ability. Because of this, we have a course here that covers architecural administration, in which the work ings of the architect’s office are discussed.” CLASSES IN FENCING START NEXT MONDAY Starting on Monday, October 5th, the men of the University will have their second opportunity of learn ing the art of' swordsmanship. Classes under the direction of Mr. Abercrombie, of the men’s gymna sium, will be held on Monday, Wed-! nesday, and Friday between the hours of 4:45 and 5:30 p. m. Those desiring to take the course are requested to leave their names 1 with Mr. Scott in the gymnasium office. ' It is important that all members of the class be present at the first meeting of the class next Monday. The shortage of equipment last year has been relieved by new sup plies and facilites. <s>-o FROSH ATTENTION A bleacher rally will be held today for all freshmen at 4:30 a* Hayward field. ..All fresh men get their “Hello” books and learn Oregon yells and songs. Those desirous of trying out for class yell leader will be given a chance. FRED MARTIN, Yell King. , 1 SPORTS WRITER OF FAME VIEWS TEAMPRACTICE Lawrence Perry on National Tour, Passes on Caliber Of Lemon-Yellow Squad Expert Keenly Interested In Eleven That Trimmed Over Huskies Last Year By Web Jones Lawrence Perry, recognized as the leading expert on college foot ball, as well as other sports, in the United States, and noted fiction writer made a visit to the campus Tuesday afternoon for the express purpose of looking over the Oregon varsity football team. Mr. Perry just came from the University of Washington and left late in the evening for Berkeley and Stanford. On his tour of the country the noted sports, wrter will cover every sec tion and will see every team of any prominence. On the coast the four Outstanding teams only were on his schedule—Washington, Oregon, Cali fornia and Stanford. Perry Non-commital On “Dope” Out on Hayward field dressed in a collegiate yellow slicker which looks ed new, Perry watched the varsity pound the scrub line for a half hour. 'He chatted with “Doc” Ste gemen and with the sports writers. His only comment was that he could tell nothing because of the wet weather and the earliness of the sea son. He was given a realistic in troduction to Oregon mist. “People out here, spiorts writers and others, ask me if there is any difference in football between the coast and the east. There is no dif ference—football is standardized and it is the same here as in the east. ” Huskies are “Bohemoths” “The reason why I wanted to stop off at Oregon was to see the team that beat Washington last year. They certainly have a bunch of “bohemoths” up there this year. The finest material that I have ever seen.” Lawrence Perry with Herbert Beed are the pioneers in the modern school of sports writing. They were the first writers to write from an analytical point of view for the public. Back in 1898 when Perry graduated from Princeton he began his career writing sports for the New York World. “I was the first one to write anayltically. My first story was the American challenge Yacht race. I had studied yachtng while in col lege and I knew the details. Well, I went out and reported the race from an expert’s viewpoint, and I went out and repoterd the race from an expert’s viewpoint, and I told where they should have tacked and they should not. The people liked that sort of stuff for they re cognized it was written by an ex pert. Studied Before Writing “After that my reputation grew. I was studiously inclined and while at Princeton I studied football from every angle with all the why’s and wherefores, so that I was even surprised myself, at the mass of material I had at hand when I started writing—the technical angles i of the game that aided me.” A kindly, middle aged man, with an interest in everythnig that is going on, Mr. Perry is a fluent talk er. He gave the writer enough ma terial for five columns of stuff in the half hour’s interview. Not onlv i is he a veritable storehouse of foot ball lore, but he knows what he is talking about. He has covered foot ball in the Middle West and is sav ing the big eastern teams for thes end of his trip. He will reach New j York on October 10, where he writes ’ Huddle System Favored The “hulabalo” about the huddle system impelled the writer to ask the expert his opinion. “The huddle system is gaining in the East and Middle West. Prince ton used it to overwhelm Harvard 35 to 0 last year. Ohio State, one of the strongest teams in the Mid dleWest is using it this year. It is by not means antiquitated. And its good points overshadow its bad (Continued on page four) Eleven from Lake County Are Here On Scholarships Lakeview Man Wills Educational Fund , Of eighteen students who were elected to the Daly cholarship, ele ven chose to attend the University as a means of securing their college, training. This scholarship was created by Bernard Daly, a physician and bank er of Lakeview, who at his death, left his entire estate for the creation of a fund whereby a limited num ber of Lake county students might continue their education at any three of the state institutions of higher education. At the annual election last June the followng students who are now , attending the University, were chosen: Carl E.

FROMM PRIME BEGINS Turnout For Team Practice Passes Hundred Mark THREE TILTS SCHEDULED Scrimmage For Lighter Squads To Be Arranged Freshman football practee started in earnest Monday eventing with a record turnout of men. Although the rain came down in torrents dur ing the entire practice period, Tues day evening, 95 men were out for work. Last night, with good wea ther prevailing, over 100 men re ported to head freshman coach, “Spike” Leslie. Every evening a few men drop out of the ranks, but there is a long list waiting for more football equipment. Squads To Be Formed According to “Spike” Leslie, the main objective of the coaching staff at the present time is to get the men into condition. The first year men are being taught the fun damentals of the gridii^ijp game'. “What we want to do as soon as possible is to get acquainted with the men,” said Leslie when ques tioned on the strength of any indi vidual group. As soon as their abi lities are sufficiently known to the coaches, the men will be segregated into Squads to train for the respec tive varsity squads. A player who at first may be placed on the third squad or less in the line always has a chance to make the first squad through regular attendance to prac tice and hard work. Three Games Scheduled There is some possibility that the varsity-freshman scrimmage may start next week. Attempts are being made tin arrange games with the high school elevens of Eugene for the ligther freshman squads accord ing to Leslie. Every man going out will have a chance to get into the scrimmage. Assisting Leslie in the lighter freshman squads aecord is Dick Reed, captain of last year’s team, George Allison from the Uni versity of South Dakota, George Bliss from the University of Ore gon, and Pug Toole, local physical education major. Three games have been scheduled for the yearling team by Jack Bene fiel, graduate manager. The first game will be against the Chemawa Indians here, Friday, October 16. The second game will be against the University of Washington babes here, Saturday, October 31. The Oregon babes will wind up their season against the Oregon Aggie Rooks at Corvallis on Friday, Nov ember 13.

The Vesper commttee, composed of students and members of the faculty, and which has complete charge of the services plans to have the doors closed at 4:30 so that the repose of the meeting and the beau ty of the music may be enjoyed and appreciated to the utmost. President Expresses Wish In keeping with a wish of the late President P. L. Campbell that there be short religious services on the campus every Sunday for all stu dents as soon as a suitable place for such meetings should be built, the committee plans to make these ser vices non-sectarian. Thb person who is to read the prayers will also preside.

Stivers )of the Christian church, all of Eugene and W. T. Sumner of the Episcopal churcb of Portland. Last year long vesper sevices were held once a month in the Methodist church at which time a sermon was delivered. This year only on such occasions as the Saint Cecilia mass and the Seven Last Words services, at which time the crowd could not be accomodated in the music auditorium, will the Methodist church will be used. ’ METHODIST MINISTERS WILL BE ENTERTAINED The reception and tea to be giv I en this afternoon in the Woman’s j building in honor of the Methodist I ministers atending the 73rd annual ; session of the Oregon conference of j the Methodist Episcopal church, is I also in honor of Methodist students j on the campus, according to Pro fessor Frederic S. Dunn, chairman of the committee in charge of the affair. “I wish to emphasize the fact,” said Professor Dunn yesterday aft- j ernoon, ‘‘the the reception is in! honor of the students as well as | the ministers and they are all urged to come. It will give them a chance I not only to meet prominent Meth odist ministers of the state but also to become acquainted with eac-ih other.” ASPIRING YELLSMITHS IN DEMAND SATURDAY Try-outs for the varsity yell staff will be held during the Gregon Multnomah football game next Sat urday afternoon, aecordnig to Fred Martin, yell king.

Every year it is the custom for the gradu ate manager to issue this booklet which contains -the name, phone number and address of every stu dent and faculty member on the campus.

FROSH FARADE TOGETHER WITH UNDERCLASS MIX A long uneven line progressing at a very irregular pace, sometimes walking, sometmes running. The pace will not be the only obstacle in the path of those in the line. Before wo depict the other obstacles to those in the line of march, let us find out just who makes up the long uneven line. Freshmen men of course. There are other men on either sides but they are those despised Sophomores and they are not on the receiving ; end of the numerous paddles. From the 'O’ on Skinners’ Butte tho ; parade wends its weary way through the town, out to the University then on to Hayward field where the worst is yet to come. The Freshmen, judging from ex perience of past years think it’s a tough old world. Their clothes are rumpled, and covered as are j their hands with conspicuous vel- j low paint. And a certain section of the anatomy is none too comfortable, i Then comes the underclass mix, where Frosh pit their strength against the hated Sophs, in fair combat. Yes, it’s a square mix. Who ever heard of a round one? Comes the crowning of the first year men with green caps, a climax to a full program—a day no Fresh man forgets. The Frosh are barnded from then on to the end of the year with their green hats. What has the program shown them? Have they grasped the significance of the parade and mix? Do they re alize what it means to be a bona fide student in the University? They should know after Saturday that in organization there is strength and if so they and the University may well be commended. Freshmen having the stuff that makes good Oregon students will have gained something of the Ore gon spirit. That is the object of the whole ceremony. How will they take it?
