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

lation manager in conducting the

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.

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

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.

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?
