CALIFORNIA TAKING
NO CHANCES, SAYS
DR. ALBERT BOLES,
HEAD LINE COACH
Dr. Albert Boles (formerly Albert
Boles Rosenthal) line coach of the
University of California team, wit
nessed both the Idaho and Pacific
games from the press box on H»y
ward field, as scout for his team.
'The writer interviewed him after
the Badger game.
It was a heart Stopping moment.
Dr. Albert Boles, line coach of five
“wonder” California teams, leaned
over the counter at the telegraph
office after an attendant had an
nounced the final score of the St.
Mary VCalifornia game as 6 to 0
without naming the winner. Bole’s
face actually became pale in spite
of his effort to conceal it.
“Who’s favor?" he asked.
“California.”
And the outstanding line coach
-of the country heaved a genuine
.sigh of relief and a satisfied grin
■came over his face.
Jt
“That’s going to make it tough
for Oregon next Saturday for now
California is over her big hump of
the year. Andy Smith reckoned
that St. Mary’s game as the hard
est of the season. Now we are on
easy road after that hard hurdle.
Xast year we barely beat them and
they have been pointing for the
last 12 months.”
“‘I don’t expect California to
beat Oregon by more than 14
points. Of course, we expect to
win. I saw that game with Wash
ington last fall when Bagshaw’s
men were expected to win 40 to 0.
We are taking ho chances.”
“No, the field at Portland won’t
make any difference. It will prob
ably handicap California more be
cause we are used to playing on a
turf field, but if it slows us up it
will slow Oregon up so it will be
an even break.
“The weather won’t make any
difference either. Both teams will
be handicapped by a wet day.”
“The victory will depend on gen
eral strength, breaks, and playing
ability. Outside factors will make
no difference. It’s the team which
has the punch to shove the ball
•over that will win,”
“We realize Oregon is pointing
for us. We play nine games a sea
son and every team points for us.
They want to topple the California
team off the pinnacle. But We' like
it. It makes the team fight harder
and puts everyone on his toes.”
“Oregon has a mighty fine kicker
in Wetzel. He looked good in tlie

CLEVER COSTUMES FEATURED
BY JOURNALISTS AT JAMBOREE
Pvrotechnical in colorful brilli
ance, replete with verve and esprit,
alive with mysticism and poesy—
the Journalism Jamboree Saturday
night at the men's gymnasium was
Jill that it should have been. There
were news scribes, there were those
of advertising and managerial
fame, there were specialty acts,
prize dances, artful decollations,
scandal sheets, syndopation, and
Charleston advocates.
Of the knights bold, gallant
Spaniards, baby dolls artists, pret
ty insolent maids and the delight
ful relief of comedy folk, Queen
Cleo and “the lady of the Turkish
bath” stood at the tap in excel
lence; Arthur Priaulx as the vam
pire queen and Dorothy Koepke
garbed in Turkish towels received
first honors for their costumes.
Sol Abramson and Web Jones, at
once alluring and repellent in fem
inine attire, made many a mascul
ine heart flutter only to he quelled
■•with esthetic imperiousness. The
role of the artist in smock and
“tam” was taken by Ralph Casey,
while the master of ceremonies,
James Leake, was the typical bally
hoo. Professor Turnbull in the
garb of a chinaman and partner,
Gladys Kimball as his fair china
maid, took honors for the prize
waltz.
J. Bernard Shaw and his trained
dog, assisted by George Godfrey,
Hal Kirk and his band furnished
the specialty feature and tripping
of the light fantastic was to the
tune of the Co-ed Harmonizers or
chestra.
In charge of the Jam were Ed
Miller, Mildred Carr, ‘general chair
men; Marian Lowry, chairman re
freshments committee, assisted by
Bernard Shaw,i Sam Wilderman,
Minnie Fisher, Alice Kraeft; Wilbur
Wester, chairman ticket committee,
assisted by Esther Davis; scandal

DOUGHNUT RULE
CHANGES UP FOH
DECIDING VOTE
Question of Awards For
Athletes To Be Decided
At Wednesday’s Meeting
Complications Make New
Schedule For Basketball
Contests A Necessity
Is everyone standing for the
same thing?
This question will be answered
Wednesday afternoon when the in
tramural representatives of the or
ganizations on the campus, 19 in
all, meet in the men’s gymnasium
for their second meeting this year.
Will awards be offered for play
ers who distinguish themselves in
the various athletics? This«is the
outstanding question which took up
most of the time at the last meet
ing of the members and will be
brought up as the paramount issue
Wednesday.
Committee To Beport
A committee, consisting of Del
Oberteuffer, Don Pardos and
“Plunks” Keinhart, created to con
sider the feasibility of offering em
blems for winning players will re-'
port its findings during this meet
ing.
Following the discussion of
awards a new basketball schedule
will be made up, it is stated. This
change is due to (complications
which arose when the first schedflle
was announced.
Other Questions Up
Other questions regarding the
phases of activities for this year
will be taken up. All athletic rep
resentatives are expected to attend
this meeting as it will prfobably be
the last chance for any organiza
tion to voice its approval or disap
proval of the present rules which
govern the doughnut contests.
Min re students are applying to
the University for loans this year
than ever before, according to Dean
H. Walker, director of the student
loan fund.
“There are several reasons for
this,” he said, “the increased en
rollment is the principle cause;
then, too, working students have
found that the increased standards
of the school make more study
necessary and they borrow more
and work less. Another reason is
that many people who were unable
to attend college before are now
enabled to do so with the aid of
the student loan fund.”
Despite the fact that more stu
dents desire to borrow money, the
loan fund is much smaller than it
was last year when it was consid
erably increased by the Risley
Church Fund gift of $10,000.
Gifts Constitute Fund
The student loan fund consists
entirely of gifts from individuals,
clubs, or organizations. These gifts
are turned over to L. H. Johnson,
University comptroller and are ad
ministered by the loan committee.
Dean Walker, warned the students
against appdying for a loan a day
or two before they need it.
“It takes almost a week,” he
said, “for the loan to pass through
the hands of the committee.
Terms of payment for loans are
arranged for the individual stu
dent. Sophomores may borrow
$100, juniors $200, and seniors $300.
This year the Woman’s League do
nated a fund of $500 for freshman
women who are allowed to borrow
$50. No provision is made folr
freshmen men.
Statistics show that the students
who borrow from the loan fund and
who are partially or wholly self
supporting have higher grades than
the average students.

FOR 1G' COME
Coaches Confident Varsity
Will Make Good In Tilt
With California “Bears”
Secret Practices Started By
Squad; “Al” Sinclair And
Lynn Jones Show In Play
Grim determination marked the
workout of the Oregon varsity last
night on the last lap of the prep
aration for the OregonOalifornia
game. The same spirit will prevail
all week as evidenced in the pro
gram that Dick Smith lias outlined
for the team. There is no inflated
ego. The team is on bed rock. It’s
a matter of fight now.
The team and the coaches have
been pointing for the California
game and if it is going to show its
stuff this season it will be next Sat
urday on Multnomah field. The
coaching staff is confidont. They
have worked with the team for
seven weeks for the “big” game of
the year with the Golden Bears.
All the other games have been
passed over with the idea of bring
ing the varsity to the peak of its
efficiency,,and strength for Octo
ber 24.
No Alibi For Game
The squad is full of spirit now
and if the week’s work keeps up
like it started last night the Ore
gon machine will be vastly differ
ent than has been seen in action
before.
No alibis are offered for the Pa
cific game for none are needed.
The Oregon team never opened up.
It was merely a practice tilt and it
was not the object of Dick Snfith
to run up a large score for a hol
low triumph.
Secret practices began last even
ing. The team goes back to “barn
yard” football, back to the old
stuff that overy man has been drill
ed in for the past seveq weeks.
Plays are being polished and the
work of every man is being watched
thoroughly. The season’s work on
offense which has been reserved
for the Golden Bears, was gone
over again and again. The finesso
of the play will be put on this
week. Light scrimmage is sched
uled for this afternoon and Wed
nesday before the team tapers off
Thursday.
Varsity Lineup Made
The varsity was driven up and
down the field for an hour and a
half last night by Dick Smith with
Louie Anderson barking snappy
signals for the crew. Lynn Jones
was back in his place at full and
A1 Sinclair took his old position
at tackle. The lineup included
most of the regulars. Mautz and
Smith, ends; Kerns, and Sinclair,
tackles, Bliss and Shields, guards;
Johnson, center. The backfield in
cluded that the heavy steam roll
ing machine with Vitus and Jones
alternating at full, Hodgens and
Wetzel, halves, and Anderson, quar

ETCHINGS OF G. T. PLOWMAN
ON EXHIBIT IN ARTS BUILDING
Yesterday the fifty-sixth birth- I
(lay anniversary of George T. Plow
man, world-famous teacher, was
celebrated on the campus by an [
exhibition of a collection of his
; work in the salon of the ait build
ing.
The University, however, was the
honored participants of the cele
bration as the group of etchings in
cluded some exquisite pieces of art.
Some, such as the Hotel de Seine,
| portray such a wealth of feeling,
i such perfect continuity of expres
i sion, and such softness of tone, as
1 to make it impossible for the ob
. server ho do anything but admire
, them.
Others are a bit too literary in
their expression. They are analy
tical and so undivided has been the
artist’s attention to detail that his
works lose their feeling, their spirit
and atmosphere, becoming hard and
lifeless.
Mr. Plowman is nevertheless, a
great artist. He has studied in the
Boyal College of Art at South Ken
sington, England, under Sir Frank
Short, a master engraver. He has
also studied in Paris and has exhi
bited his work at the Boyal Acad
emy in London; the Paris salon,
and in many citiek of England and
the United States.
His etchings are in permanent
collections of the Congressional
Library in Washington; in the
public library of New York; in the
Museum of Fine Arts in Boston
and in the Luxembourg Museum,
Paris.
He organized and conducted the
art department in the Y. M. C. A.
in the University of Coblenz, Ger
many in 1919.
It is the intention of Mr. Virgil
Hafen, of the architecture depart
ment to keep the exhibition for a
week, so that all interested may
