VOLUME XXVII UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE. WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 14. 1925 NUMBER 11 WORLD COURT PROBLEM TOPIC FOR ASSEMBLY Dean Hale To Inaugurate American Peace Award Nation Wide Movement Congressional favor Toward Adherence T o Tribunal Final Aim of Organization “America and the World Court” -will he discussed by W. G. Hale, dean of the school of law at the assembly on Thursday in the audi torium of the Woman’s building. The subject is of timely interest due to the question of America’s adherence to the World Court which -will come before the Senate on De cember 17. Movement Is National There is a nation wide moyement being conducted by the American Peace Award, an organization com posed of eastern statesmen and ed ucator to crystallize sentiment of the American people in favor of America’s adherence to the World Court and to bring the fact to the attention of the senators, so as to influence favorable action by the senate in December, Dean Hale said today. The American Peace Award Society has been working primarily through chambers of commerce and various civic and social organiza tions. Dean Hale Is Eugene Chairman As its part in the progressive movement the Eugene chamber of commerce recently appointed Dean Hale as chairman of a committee composed of local social and civic leaders to conduct the movement in Eugene. Dean Hale and members of his committee have appeared be fore a number of organizations speaking on the subject and urging them to pass resolutions to be for warded to the senate from Oregon. “In speaking before the assem bly it is not with the view to ask students to pass resolutions,” Dean Hale explained, “but just a part of the progress of education with reference to problems of interna tional relationships and the part America has been playing and can play to establish world peace.” FRESHMEN WILL HOLD DANCE FRIDAY NIGHT The chairmen of committees for the freshman dance, which will be held in the gymnasium of the Wom an’s building Friday night at 9:00 o’clock, were appointed yesterday. They are: Ben Souther, chairman of dance committee, Ray Rankin, chairman of reception committee and Louise Clark, chairman of re freshments committee. Other com mittee members will be appointed today. All freshmen are urged, by Ben Souther, to attend the dance and ar.e promised an exciting time. “This is a no date dance,” says Souther, “But we have no objec tions to offer if a fellow wants to take his girl home. There will be plenty of cold drinks and lots of surprises. Campus clothes are the thing to wear.” Remorseful Frosh Remove Green Art From Senior Bench Poor Frosih! Yes, it’s hard on them, but will they never learn that the holy of holies, the senior bench, is not to be smeared with verdant paint? After having been sufficiently chastised for the same act during the freshmen in troductory exercises, .just a little over a week ago, there is slight excuse for the braien ’29s on property publicly known as the seniors. However, our youngsters must be given credit for the unusually good polish which no.w makes the old landmark glisten so brightly. A long line of penitent freshmen, gasoline and green-cap equipped, with the assistance of paddles, canes and seniors,- removed the of fending coloring matter, yester day noon, while the campus look ed on approvingly. W. A. A. COUNCIL PLANS MEMBERSHIP DRIVE Sports Committee Aims To Reach 225 Goal Arrangements for membership drive, reports on point systems for class teams and honor organiza tions, and plans for distributing tjie athletic handbook, were considered by W. A. A. council, called by Jan et Wood, president, last night in the Woman’s building. The voluntary sports committee which is composed of one member from each living organization on the campus will have charge of the membership drive. This committee will meet oii Thursday to receive lists of the girls eligible to W. A. A. The membership goal has been set for 225. Any girl having ac quired 100 points in competitive sports, or in efficiency tests are eligible. No girl can receive a sweater or small “O” unless she is a member of W. A. A. The council has adopted the fol lowing point schedule" for class teams: first team, 100 points; sec ond, team, 75; third, 50; fourth 35; fifth and color teams 25; substi tutes, five points. Due to the difficulty in checking up on mileage and the lack of en thusiasm among the Women for Mazama hikes, the council decided to drop hiking from the list of sports. Hereafter, no points will be given for hiking. The hiking cup, given to the physical depart ment by the Mazamas, has been won for the last three years by Tau Nu. Women successfully passing tests for swimming honbrs, given by Miss E. Troemel, for dancing honors, given by Miss Lillian Stupp, and tests for general gymnastic effi ciency, given by the faculty of the department of education will be en titled to 50 points for each set of tests. The council decided to place horseback riding, riflery, and arch ery on an honor test basis. There will then be no- class competition in these sports, but anyone passing specified tests in these sports will be awarded points, the amount of fContinued on page four) OREGON PROFESSOR EX-PITCHER; EPRMER MATES IN BIG LEAGUES The Washington Senators may have their Walter Johnson, and the Pittsburgh Pirates theif “Kiki” Cuyles, but the University of Ore gon faculty can boast of its base ball hero too, and a Beeord-breaking pitcher, at that. Over in the school of education Dr. Homer P. Rainey placidlv teaches education, while two of his colleagues, Charles Robertson, pit cher for the White Sox, and Slim Harris, of the Philadelphia Ath letics carry off the laurels that he might also have shared. Dr. Rainey began his baseball career in Austin College, Texas, where he pitched four years with Charles Robertson. “My sophomore was my record year for pitching,” he said. “At that-time, we made a trip from Austin to play seven games. There were two of us pitch ing, but in the first game, the other man was hurt. I pitched the last two innings of that game and the other 48 out of 63 innings on the trip, losing only one game. Next to the last was a one-hit game and I pitched only 64 halls during the whole game, a record for college baseball.” Dr. Rainey began work on a league team in 1916 when he pitch ed in the Texas-Oklahoma league for a season. His introduction irf to the Texas league in the summer of 1917 came very near the end of the season. He was called to come oji a Friday night, and on Monday pitched the first game for Galves ton, who was later Tjold tso the Pittsburgh Pirates, Meadows, pitch ing the second, against Houston. “We won a double header that day. The scores were seven to four in my game and two to one in Mea dow’s,” the speaker continued. “But, I have to attribute all of my success as a pitcher to a prac fContinued on page three) Melvin Cohn Outplayed in Game By Steady-Drives Of Experienced Opponent Victor Gains Matches By Score 6-1, 6-3, 6-2; Was High School Champion When Henry Neer and Melvin Cohn met across the net yesterday afternoon the tennis singles of the University was decided. Neer won three sets from Cohn--' 6-1, 6-3, 6-2. Both men played good consistent tennis with flash at times. The hard drives and steadiness of Neer was too much for Cohn, who was erratic at times and was not pla'y i(ng the brand of teitnis which made him stand out prominently in the first matches of the fall tourn ament. Neer Brother of Champion Henry Neer, the winner of the singles title, is a brother of Phil Neer, the .national intereiollejgiate singles champion and also member of the national champion doubles team. Phil Neer is a student at Stanford University. Henry Neer is 1925 champion of the Portland Park league. He was a member of the Washington high school tennis team for four years and as a stu dent in tlfb University is majoring in pre-law. Melvin Cohn attended Washing ton High School in Portland and later played in Pasadena, Califor nia. While in the south, he held the city championship of Pasadena in addition to several junior titles. This last summer, Cohn played un der the coaching of Bill Tilden, National tennis champion. Match Reveals Skill The match “between Cohn and Neer was an excellent display of consistent and steady ten n i s through-out. Henry Neer had the advantage in his slashing curving serve, which was difficult for Cohn to return. Playing up to the net, Neer was master, placing his return with veteran ability. At times, Cohn was slightly erratic, but would quickly recover. The final match between Neer and Cohn was proceeded by the semi-finals between Neer and Cof fin. The score was 4-6, 9-7, 6-3, 8-6 in favor of Neer, however, Cof fin displayed exceptional ability and should make real varsity ma terial. The results of the double matches were as follows: Westerman and Hartman defeated Harding and Mc Intosh, 6-1, 6-2. Powell and Knight were defeated by Meade and Cof fin, 6-2, 6-1. The matches for today are: John son and Mitchell meet Henton a^nd Adams. Westerman and Hartman meet Cross and Mertz. JOBS LOST THROUGH CHANGE OF ADDRESSES “Please notify us when you change your address,” is the plea Mrs. C. R. Donnelly, director of the employment and housing bureau at the “Y” hut, is making of students seeking employment there. “When we get jobs for these students we can’t find them,” says Mrs. Don nelly. Due to the increased registration at the University, the employment and housing bureau has been busier this year than ever before, says Mrs. Donnelly. Practically four fifths of the men who come to the campus aside from those in frater nities, get their rooms through the “Y.” Those houses near the cam pus that have single beds and steam heated rooms are the most in demand. “As far as possible, all the rooms listed are inspected. This year we were so busy we were not able to get all the way around, but a check will be made on all the rooms a little bit later,” she added. An effort was made to get the listing of the rooms done early in Septem ber, but this was not accomplished, causing the delay. Special Train For Students Attending Cal.-Oregon Game Round-Trip Fare Will Be $3.81 for Fans Plans are rapidly nearing com pletion for the Portland railly to proceed the California game, ac cording to Jiames ForesteL rally chairman. A special train leaving Friday afternoon will carry 1000 students to Portland. The train will be complete in every respect— a baggage car will be used for dan cing, while food will be served on board, rvith mahy other forms of entertainment provided for the stu dents traveling on tins “special.” The round-trip fare will be $3.81, an exceptionally low rate due to the large number going on the train. For the convenience of the students' that have afternoon classes, the train will start back of Villa^d Hall, according to present arrangements. Intra-Mural' Questions Are Discussed At Meeting LEAGUE RULES ADOPTED Committee Will Decide On Problem of Awards Questions regarding the formu lated rules which regulate intra mural athletics were taken up at a meeting of organization representa tives yesterday. The feasahlilify o f fcffe'rSng awards, either individually or to the entire team, was taken up and discussed pro and con. Some of the members present voiced their approval of the plan to offer awards for each event and do away with the one award for the organization making the highest total of points during the year. This plan seemed to -meet with favor. However, sev eral other members were desirous of keeping the spirit of the game above the award offerinjg. This would place doughnut activities up on the same scale as last year. The outcome of this argument was the appointment of a commit tee, consisting of Del Obertcuffer, Don Parks and Frank Reinhart, to take up the matter and discuss the probability of creating some way to furnish the necessary awards. The committee is to reveal its find ings at another meeting of the rep resentatives, to be announced later. Basketball, the opening event on the program this year, is scheduled to appear* on or about November first, it was decided at the meeting. The schedule was drawn and each organization has an equal chance to make application at the depart ment of physical education for some definite time in which to practice. The list of rules was taken up individually by the members pres ent and each expressed his view. Rule number one, regarding the awards was vetoed for the present. This ruling will come up at the next meeting. All other rules were voted sustained. However, a rul ing regarding protesting of mem bers of the teams was formulated. This rule reads: No pretestating of anv player will bo allowed after the termination of said contest or event. This means that when two teams enter a contest and one team lias an ineligible player and the op posing team does not protest before the game is over, it will not be al lowed to protest at all. The basketball schedule drawn up includes all organizations pres ent at the meeting bnjy. If others desire to enter teams they may do so upon application at the office of the department of physical edu cation, it is announced. The tentative schedule for this year is: Phi Delta Theta vs. Oregon club, first game; Chi Psi vs. Beta Theta Pi, second; Alpha Beta Ohi.’ vs^ Sigma Chi, third; Psi Kappa vs. Alpha Tau Omega, fourth; Theta Chi vs. Friendly Hall, fifth; Sigma Alpha Epsilon vs. Phi Kappa Psi, sixth; Sigma Nu vs. Sigma Pi Tau, seventh; Phi Gamma Delta vs. Lambda Psi, eighth; and Delta Tau Delta, bye.

VARSITY BATTLE WITH FRESHMEN IN SCRIMMAGE Yearlings Make good Record In First Practice Game With Fighting First Team Lack of Football Training Evident, States Coach: Several Players Injured By Dick Syring The freshman football squad re ceived their first taste of college football when they were pitted against the first and second var sity teams yesterday afternoon, in twenty minutos of real hard foot ball. The team the frosh faced, was not the meek team defeated by Idaho,- but the new, rejuvenated, fighting, varsity. Considering weight and playing experience, the yearling crew did exceptionally well. Frosh Practice Slow To look at this year’s freshman team on the gridiron one would soon think that if Oregon’s future .eleven must bo drawn from such material—their good records would soon fall. The men learning the fundamentals looked very green. Tn the exact words of head fresh man coach, “Spike” Leslie, “They looked terrible.” The men would fumble tlie ball. Linemen were con tinually'dead in their tracks and this year’s prospects looked gloomy. Leslie had his freshman crew work ing hard before the little fracas with the varsity. Two teams were lined up against each other and were drilled on line charging. Pun ters were also put into action and one line acted as defense for pun ters. The guards on the defense line looked very weak, and seemed unable to stop tlie onrushing line. The ends appeared to be fast on getting down on punts, but showed very poor form in tackling the safety. Prospects Show in Scrimmage The first year men who met the varsity looked much more promis ing when under actual fire. Sev eral times varsity backs were stop ped in their tracks. The freshman ends looked good on the defensive as did the other linemen. Gould at fullback and Ostrum at half did good work on backing up in the lino on defense. Coach Les lie used a large number of men in the short tilt with the varsity. According to Leslie, the fresh men turning out for football this year are light and slow. The large percentage of them had little foot ball tutelage before coming to col lege. Dick Eeed, assistant frosh coach, estimated tlie team at 165 pound average. Injuries Cripple Squad Hard luck has also hit the fresh man football camp in a number of injuries. Thompson, guard, who has been showing up very good and will probably start the Chem awa game, has been bothered with an injured shoulder. Red Slauson, (Continued on page four) JOURNALISM “JAM” SAVORS OF ONE GLORIOUS PARTY Saturday night beginning at 8:00 o ’clock the campus journalists cele brate their annual jamboree. Ac cording to the crowds and fun at these affairs before, this ought to be “one grand party.” As usual, the jamboree will be a masquerade, masks and all. At 10 o ’clock Ed Miller, general chair man, will ask everyone to unmask so that each person may know if his newest “secret sorrow” is mak er female, and if the noisiest one in the crowd is really as bad as he pretends. Harold Kirk and Betty Cady who are on the committee for music, promise an orchestra “Jfnported/’ for the affair. Sol Abramson and Phillippa Sher man will “edit” the scandal sheet. 8everal of these sheets will be put out during the evening containing all the latest scandal about every one there. George Howard Godfrey and Bernard Shaw will have charge of the features. Stunts are always a surprise, when they consist of jour nalism talent. According -to Marian Lowry and Sam Wilderman, tho evening will be flavored with doughnuts, eider, pretzels, and tons of fun. Also, there is to be one of those antique pieces of furniture known in pre Volstead days as a bar. There are about 220 journalism majors, which, including professors, etc., ought to make about 240 per sons, according to Wilbur Wester and Esther Davis, ticket commit tee. Old timers at the “shack” say there never was a journalism jam boree that didn’t have fun in it from the word go. All journalism majors, new and old, are invited to come over to the men’s gymna sium Saturdiay evening and tjoik the “gang.”
