OREGON SQUAD
TO BE DRILLED
ON'OFFENSI
Inability to Score Is Held
Responsible For Defeat
By Idaho Team Saturday
Eleven, Unhurt By Vandal
Victory’ Begins Practice
For Mix With California
That is the byword, the goal, and
the working basis of the three var
sity football coaches for the next
two weeks. Hard work land speed
featured the first day of the gTihd
for the. game with the G-olden Bears
which is barely two weeks in the
offing. And it was a drive on
qffense.
The work began in deadly earn
est last night to perfect Oregon’s
weak attack as demonstrated |in
the game last Saturday where the
team fell down miserably.
The taofwytoftwawtmafrfamfwy
Fierce Scrimmage Held
The atmosphere on Hayward
Field was tense. Coaches and squad
were exerting every effort to re
gain the lost ground. The defeat
last week end inspired a determin
ation in everyone to put the team
on the uphill grade again.
The fiercest scrimmaging of the
year was done last night for an
hour by two teams, one a second
varsity and the other made up of
benchmen. Up and down the field
the teams pounded and smashed.
The air was filled with thudding
pads and falling players. It' was
merely the forerunner of the grind
that begins tonight for the varsity
in preparation for the California
game. That is the big opportunity
of the Oregon team to get back
in the running but it is a mighty
hurdle to defeat the premier eleven
of the country.
dick smith in Action
Dick Smith got into action last
night and it was a treat to watch
him work out with the players.
Under his driving, the men were
putting out every ounce they had.
Speed is his by word from now on.
Oregon's coaching staff began
the year with discarding all bear
stories and alibis. The staff is not
putting out any alibis on the Idaho
game. The game last Saturday,
with the 6 to 0 defeat of the var
sity by a superior eleven, deserves
no alibis. Coach Mathews admits
that his team is going at full speed
now. The varsity was green and
unpolished. There was a glaring
lack of team work. Oregon was
bested both in line plays and in
passes.’
The team has two weeks to round
into shape before the big game of
the season. It will be going at top
form on October 24 if it gets going
at all this year. It will have
reached its peak of perfection and
it will not be so difficult to keep
from going stale before the end of
the seas-on. The team was off color
Saturday. Something took all the
punch and concerted drive out of
the squad and left it comparatively
powerless before the Idaho drive.
The game had some high lights

Juniors To Choose
Two Class Officers
At Meet Tonight
With two class officers to be
elected for this year, an import
ant meeting o% the Junior class
will be held in Villard hall to
nfght at 7:15. The offices of
vice-president and sergeant-at
arms are vacant as the students
elected to the positions last
spring have not entered school
this fall.
As candidates for the two va
cant posts will be nominated at
the meeting this evening, it it
important that all members of
the class of ’27 be present. Mary
West was elected vice-president
of the class last spring and Cliff
Powers, sergeantat-arms.
Jimmiie Johnson, president of
the Junior class, has placed Bob
Neighbors in charge of the com
mittee working on the class party,
scheduled for next Friday even
ing at College Side Inn. The
dance will be known as the “Jun
ior Jazz Jamboree” and the com
. mittee are working out plans for
an original affair. Neighbors
will make a report on the class
dance at the meeting tonight.
OCTOBER 14 TB 24 SET
FOB PAMNT OF FEES
Penalty Will Be Imposed For
N. S. F. Checks
Tho cn.sliier’s window din the Uni
versity business office will open
Wednesday meriting, October 14,
for the payment of registration fees
and will remain open ten days, un
til October 24. . After that date
any student paying fees will be
assessed $3.00 for the first day late
and twenty-five cents for each ad
ditional day for one week and after
which, no student may pay his fee,
and will be considered dropped
from the University.
Attention is called to the fact
that two Saturdays have been al
lowed- for fee payment, this making
it easier for those who are work
ing, to get to the business office.
The office closes in the afternoons
on Saturday, but on all other days,
is open until 5:00 o’clock.
There is a much larger student
body this year, than in former
years, and the congestion at the
cashier’s window will be very no
ticeable during the last few days
of the ten day period, according to
officials of the business office, and
every effort should be made to pay
fees as early as possible.*
The regular fee for students is
$18.75 jrith the class room fees and
labratory fees added. This amount
includes class dues, subscription to
the campus daily, student body fees
and assessments, and other expenses
that have to be met by the student
body treasury, such as the Home
coming luncheon.
A warning against N. S. F. checks
is issued by the business office. A
check written without funds to
cover is regarded as no payment
and will be treated accordingly by
University officials.
AMERICA NOW ART CENTER OF
THE WORLD SAYS FAIRBANKS
“New York is fast becoming the
fine art center of the world,” said
Prof. Avard Fairbanks, instructor
in the school of fine arts, who has
returned from an absence of a year
partly spent at Yale.
“Fifty-seventh street, which a
few years ago was dotted with a
few art studios, and on which is
now situated the American Fine
Arts Building, is becoming the fash
ion and art center of New York.”
Today the world’s greatest music
and fine arts are found in America,
he continued. Not only are the
Americans developing a fine* appre
ciation of the arts, but the United
States is doing more purchasing of
art than any other country.
Europe’s art has been on the de
cline since before the war. The
modern art which has had a period
of unstable popularity is suggestive
' of the degeneracy of ideals that
I have come out of Europe. The
modern art schools which sprang
j up and which had unusual success
| for a short space of time are now
i going out of business.
Modern art grew out of a desire
! for something new and different;
something novel. Jazz was an off
shoot of it. Those artists who were
intgrestecPin the movement, thought
that by going back to the primi
tive, they would be able to evolve
a new type of art. The whole thing
was aimed toward freedom, but
the movement was not successful.
The leaders are now advocating a
change—a return to the antique.
The old school of art however,

Tune of ‘Madelon’
Urged By Alumnus
For Varsity Song
Mighty Oregon4 Poet
Brings Idea
“There is still one perfect tune,
admirably fitted for use as a col
lege song, that has never, so far
as I know, been adopted by any
collelge,” said DcWitt Gilbert,
author of the words to “Mighty
Oregon,” who was among the
visiting alumni at the game last
Saturday.
“It is ‘Madelon,’ the tune most
sung by the ‘poilus’ in France
during the war. It corresponds
to our ‘Long, Long, Trail’ and
other war songs. It has the fire
and the spirit of the Marseillaise
with an additional care-free lilt
which would be ideal for an Ore
gon college song.
“Some student should get the
music and write appropriate
words,” Mr. Gilbert believes.

make the venture educational by
explaining the purpose and the
scope of the organization. The pur
pose, as framed by University wom
en at the last national conference
is: To unite in the determination
to live unreservedly Jesus’ law of
love, in every relationship and so
to know God.

WORLD FIGURES
TO'FUTURE III
LECTURE SERIES
Amundsen, David S. Jordan,
Sherwood Anderson, To
Appear Before Students
One To Speak Each Term
Is Plan Made By The
Committee In Charge
Davi'd Starr Jord an, Eoald
Amundsen, Sherwood Anderscto;
three outstanding world figures are
to be brought to tho campus this
| year for lectures, if plans tenta
tively made by the faculty commit
tee on free intellectual activities
and the A. S. U. O. concert com
mittee are worked out. Never, in
tho opinion of the committees in
charge, have the students of the
Tinversity of Oregon been privil
eged to meet such a group of noted
men in any one college year. It
is the idea of the committee to
have one of these men appear be
i fore the students each term.
Eoald Amundsen, discoverer of
! the South Pole and noted also for
his Arctic, explorations, is perhaps
the most famous living explorer.
Since his discovery of the South
Pole in 1911, ho, has made numer
ous trips in both regions, the last
being his unsuccessful attempt to
reach the North Pole by airplane
this summer, when he was lost for
several weeks.

HOMECOMING SLOGANS WANTED;
CONTEST STARTS IMMEDIATELY
Homecoming slogans, one of
which will be the “war-cry” of the
1925-20 Homecoming, scheduled for
November 13 and 14, are wanted!
The contest starts today and the
committee in charge expects 3000
suggestions, more or less, from
which to select the prize winner,—
one suggestion, at least, from every
student in the University.
The prize, incidentally, will be
two grand stand seats to the Ore
gon-O. A. C. football game, the fea
ture of Homecoming week-end.
Rules for tho contest are simple.
Students, alumni, faculty members
and all others will be allowed to
submit slogans—as many as they
wish. Just clip the Homecoming
Slogan coupon from the Emerald,
jot down the “bright ideas” and
see that they reach the Homecom
ing committee.
For this latter purpose, a box will
be placed in the entrance of the
main library where slogans will bo
collected from day to day They
may also be left at the Emerald
office in “The Shack” or may be
mailed directly to the Homecoming
Slogan editor, in care of the Uni
versity of Oregon.
No definite closing day has as
yet been set for the contest, but it
mil be wise, the committee wishes
to point out, to begin turning in
slogans at once.
Homecoming slogans!—they are
easy to concoct. Winners in other
years have been: “Homo Again;
Win Again—Oregon,” “Home to
Meet ’Em; Back to Beat ’Em,”
and “Unite to Fight for Oregon.”
The committee, however, expects
better ones this year.
