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

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

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,

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.”
