VOLUME XXVII NUMBER 20 W.RSITY STMTS HliRD GRIND FOB STANFORD CAME Team Leaves For Palo Alto Wednesday; Injuries Not Large in California Game Playing of Golden Bears Show Exceptional Type Of Coordinated Football By Web Jones The varsity football squad again is making Hayward field the scene of fierce scrimmage and hard work. The difficult Stanford game looms for this week-end, which leaves only two more days for work, as the team embarks for Palo Alto Wednesday. The slate is clean again and everything is ahead. There is no crabbing on the part of the coaches against the team because of the crushing defeat on Multnomah fleid last Saturday. The team was beat en, but not in spirit. Rather there is more dogged determination than ever out there, and the men are actually working harder. Every man fought against odds—crushing odds till the last and you have to hand it to players or coaches for that. Alibis Not Offered There is a great big “If” attach ed to everything connected" with the team, and the- following of the team are saying “if so and so did this,” or if “slo and so handn’t done that.” It all harrows down to the point that Andy Smith’s tactics drilled for 5ive years into that team spirit and in body, were so clever and so finely worked thftt Oregon didn’t have a' chance. And there is also the consolation of the breaks that were for tj^eir benefit— but that’s an alibi and alibies are against the principles of everyone connected with the team. The team began the season without them and none are being passed out. Oregon was beaten by the premier eleven of the country and you can bank on that. Golden Bear Exceptional If exceptional football was ever played, it was last week-end. The Golden Bear team was the most perfectly coordinated piece of grid iron machinery that ever displayed its wares in the Nlorthwest. In spite of the fighting of every man on the Oregon team, playing by far three times better football than they have exhibited before this sea son, the native sons won. That’s past and the team is going ahead with more fight than ever. The Webfoot eleven played twice •the game that it played against Idaho-,* Last night the hard work start ed. The varsity was sent through an hour and a half scrimmage and limbering up work. The super varsity worked harder on line work and a hashing over of the game, and pointing out some of the er rors of the players. Drill on of fense occupied most of the time, for offense will be Oregon’s strong point. The list of cripples in last Sat (Continued on page four) Mother Goat and Kids* Glitter in Sky With Giant Stars Do some observing tonight for yourself. Here are a few of the things you can see in the sky: The Mother Goat and her three Kids. She is 'called Capella, from the Latin, but her young ones, al though dating back before the time of the ancients, are as yet unnamed. Capella can be found in the early evening, eo you won’t have to stay out late to see her. She is one of the bright est stars in the heavens at this time of year. The Kids are three faint stars near her. Arcturus, a giant star, is low down in the west every evening now. It is considered important to astrbnomers because it has . the same spectrum as the sun. Higher up in the northeast 'ds Algol, the “demon star,” also a giant, which the ancient Arabs feared. Jupiter and the moon are fair ly close together now. Jupiter, the brightest star in the southern heavens, crosses the meridian about six o ’clock in the evening. DEBATE ASPIRANTS TB m TRY-OUTS Varsity and Frosh Orators Chosen This Week Intensive work is being done by varsity and freshman men debate aspirants in preparation (for the tryouts next Thursday and Friday.

Sixteen varsity debaters will be chosen for the en tire season. Six freshmen men will make up the team to be selected at Thursday afternoon’s tryouts. Varsity Subject Selected “Discontinuation of foreign in tervention in China’s political af fairs” will be the subject of the varsity tryout. This question, stated somewhat differently, will be the annual O. A. C. dual be bate this term. Instructors in the English depart mqfnt will act as judges at bbth the tryouts this week. Women’s tryouts come on Thursday and Fri day of next week, the freshmen women on November fifth, and var sity women, November sixth. It was definitely decided yester day, according to J. Stanley Gray, head of the public speaking depart ment, that the question for the freshmen girls’ debate with the Eu gene Bible University will be the national uniform marriage and di vorce law. This is the subject on which the girls will speak at the preliminaries. According to the reserve depart ment officials of the main library, students are studying the questions diligently in preparation for the coming tryouts. MODERN POETS REACT AGAINST OLD FORMS SAYS MRS. ERNST # “I think the modern tendency in poetry toward formlessness, is a reflection of the same spirit we find at the present in the other arts, in music, in sculpture and in the drama. Everywhere there is a reaction against the too rigid forms of the past,” said Mrs. Alice Ernst, who this fall offers a course in technique of versification in the department of English. “Much of the work of the mod ern poet is interesting because it expresses the artist’s individual id^a or vision of some particular thing; yet, much of it is useless. Now forms are likely to be over done, the refuge of people who don’t take the time or trouble to work out their creations in shapes of beauty. The probem of the present time is to seek, oritically, real value in the present movement and place it in the proper setting with artistic movements of the past.” “The present movement of form lessness in poetry began a long wav back with Mathew Arnold, Whitman, and many others who w^re first ridiculed and who are now accepted as real poets. While on the other hand, we find all sorts of cheap trash, occasional ut terances, posing as poetry where there is no nobility of sentiment and no beauty of form.” The course of technique of ver sification is designed to be a gath ering place of campus poets or peo ple interested in verse. According to the instructor it will be a place where they may try out their own work, for criticism and experiment and study in the various' verse forms, such as the sonnet, the ode and the French forms, the rondeau, (Continued on page four) FINAL TRIBUTE PAID VICTIM OF PORTLAND FALL Fraternity Brothers Are Pallbearers At Funeral Of Alfred P. Goss, Jr. Services Over Prominei* Student Bonducted By Rev. Edward H. Pence Funeral services for Alfred P, Goss, University student’ who was killed by a fall from the grand stand at Multnomah field, October 24, were held at the Westminister Presbyterian ichurch, of Portland, yesterday. Reverend E. A. Pence read the services. Solos were sung by Joseph P. Mulder. The pall bearers were J. P. Price, J. K. Bailey, Ri M. Overstreet, F. B. Joy, F. E. Riggs, Eddy Edlund of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity of which Alfred Goss was a member. About 35 members of the fraternity and several other University students attended the funeral. Prominent In Activities Alfred Goss was a junior in the school of business administration. He was very popular on the cam pus. He was prominent in student activities, his niost important work being in connedtion with the Stu dent Union drive. Goss was at the extreme end of the grandstand adjusting a s&ck of confetti just before the Oregon Callfornia game Saturday when he fell to the ground 75 feet below. He was taken to the St. Vincent’s hospital where he died a few hours later. Buried At Riverview He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Goss of Portlaif&. He is also survived by two younger brothers James, a student at O. A. C., and John, a student at Grant High school. The bo*dy was in terred at Riverview cemetary. y. One of the biggest problems that the Y. W. C. A. finance campaign committee has to deal with this year is that of reaching all the girls who are living in town. The entire quota to be raised is $1600, which is the amount raised in pre vious drives when campus Vomen numbered 800 or 900. Ellen Mc Clellan, general chairman of the campaign, feels confident that there will be no difficulty in reaching the mark set because there are 1500 University girls enrolled this year. At a meeting of the town girls last week it was decided that the town will be divided into sections which will be canvassed by teams. Willingness to co-operate in any way was expressed as the general sentiment. Several girls told how much they appreciated the aid of the Y. W. C. A. employment bureau, which has placed approximately 300 women in positions of various sorts, in this way enabling them to at tend the University. Expenditures of the organization last year were: Contribution to the National Y. Wf C. A., $200; salaries, $1800; clerical work, $200; bunga low, $300; social, $75; conventions, $200; printing, $50; office, $50; miscellaneous, $150; reserve fund, $100; speakers, $75; total, $3200. Estimated receipts were: Univer sity, $600; students, $1400; advi sory board, $1000; miscellaneous, $200; total, $3200. HI STUDENTS PLEDGE FEALTY At the last assembly in the Uni versity High school, the program arranged by Juanita Kilborn, chair man of the program Committee, was entirely musical. Mary lu Kent, Kuby George, Dalton Sbiiin, and Wanda Lesley were the stars of the day. Although few in number the students sang their pledge spng with' all the lustiness of a thou i sand. Oriental Creation Of Ancient China Mass of Symbols Old Emperor’s Robe Is Described To begin at the beginning, the reporter decided Monday to spend a spare hour in the Murray War ner museum. The question then arose—what should one see first f Bneh article has its story or its set of symbols, many of which have not yet been interpreted. Each ob ject of art is worthy of a visit, and there is a bewildering variety. After some wavering the writer decided to devote her hour to a splendid emperor’s coat of yellow, brilliant with great blue dragons each chasing the proverbial “pearl of great price.” The coat is wrought in the famous Kossu tapes try, prized by the Chinese far above embroidery. In China yellow is the imperial color and none but royalty wears it. The great five toed dragon is the property of the higher nobility and the royal family. The dragon is very rare. The coat shows the twelve imperial symbols, the end less knot, the swastika, the fish symbol of good luck, and the phoe nix, emblem of an empress. On the skirt' is a very elaborate pattern showing clouds and waves. The edges of the garment are bound in black and gold brocade, which, with its long, tight sleeves, marks the garment as about 150 years old, a creation of the Manchu dynasty, the last dynasty to rule China. TRACKTRHUTS TO BE THIS WEEK Track men, both varsity and frosh, get their first competition on the oval on Hayward field this week end, when the combined upper classes meet the freshman and soph omore teams in the annual fall re lay carnival. The cinder artists have been lim bering up steadily for the past month on the track. Varsity and frosh aspirants haVe kept the oval busy, with the cross country men swelling the number to well over a hundred. Frosh May Win The odds against the freshmen are not great in comparison with the depleted varsity ranks. Sixty yearling track men have been work ing hard all fall for this meet and they are liable to topple the upper class men out of the honors. Some exceptional men are signed up and this will be the first time they have had a chance to show their mettle. The varsity men have not turned out en masse, as have the freshmen at this time of year. Bill. Hayward’s annual relay 'car nival will be a means of sorting out his cross country men, as well as the most outstanding freshmen for work this winter. The fine weath er has permitted track work to go ahead in fine style in the same manner as in the sprinlg. Five events will be run Off—44Q* relay, 880 relay, mile, two mile and med ley. Tryout Date Set The tryouts for the underclass teams were announced by Bill Hay ward last night. Frosh tryouts, Wednesday at 4:00 p. rn. to pick the four highest men in the 100, 440, 880 and mile. One man out of eaoh group will be chosen for the medley. Sophomore tryouts in the 100, 220, 440, 880 and mile will be held on Wednesday at 3:30. The upperclass team will be se lected by the coach without try outs. RECOVERING FROM BURNS Lyle Veazie, who was severely burned about the head two weeks ago, is progressing nicely in the Good Samaritan Hospital in Port land, according to her brother, A1 fred Veazie, who returned from Portland Sunday. Miss Veazie, a member of Gamma Phi Beta soror ity, was burned when a celluloid comb caught fire as she was drying her hair over an electric heater. FHOSH PHEW TO AVENGE LIST YEAR DEFEAT Washington Yearlings To Be Met Saturday; Tilt Will Be First Test For Frosh Leslie Developing Speed; First Year Men Are Weak In Punting Deparment By Didk Syring . O'1* *o avenge the defeat handed the freshman football team las:t year by the University of Wash ington yearling squad, the fresh man football team under the direc tion of Coach “Spike” Leslie start ed intensive practice last night in preparation for the game with the baby Huskies on Hayward field, Satunday, October 31. The freshman football team lost almost a week of signal practice because of scrimmage with the var-' sitv last week. The men received training in the fundamentals, but had to neglect their own plays. Three Teams Wanted “What we want to do,” said the coach, “is to have three teams ready for the game Saturday.” Coach Leslie intends to arrange several scrimmage sessions with the varsity second team to give the frosh needed hard work. He wants to scrimmage against a squad not familiar with the green cappers signals. In the practice against the varsity last week, the frosh squad played a consistent game. The freshmen squad is going on with it? dummy tackling, line Scrimmaging and other fundamen tal work. The line is to be trained into a quick charging unit. “One of the big things of this week’s practice is to perfect the plays,,r said Leslie. Men Very Light The men of the freshman team this year are very light. The av erage weight of the team will not do much over 100 pounds. Several members of the line are heavy, but the backfield is light. The line seems to have all the weight in the center of the line. Men out for the center and guard positions are fairly big men. The tackles are quite large, but yearl ing wingmen are all light-weights averaging about 140 pounds. “ The backfield is composed of all light men except for the two men showing up well at fullback, Good en and Gould. Both of these men will * weigh around 170 pounds. .Woody and Wilson, quarterbacks, are light men. Ostrum, halfback, is light but makes up for his loss of weight in speed. In the fresh man-super varsity game, preceeding the recent varsity-Pacific game, he played a good game. Every time he had the ball he made yardage, running away from his much heav ier opponents. He looks like an other “Skeet” Manerud. Cothon Manerud, another backfield aspir ant, will not weigh over 130 pounds in his football togs. Weak On Punts The weakest department on the • team, according to the coach, is punting. He is having a hard time finding a man who can punt, and not become nervous at the sight of an onrushing line. The Washing ton babes, however, are strong kickers. The Washington yearlings in its game against St. Martin’s college whom it defeated 26 to 0 last Saturday, out punted the baby collegians by several yards. La brache, quarterback and Montgom ery, left half, did all the punting for the Washington babes and suc ceeded in getting off some long spirals^. In the game against St. Martins, the Washington freshman offense was built around Eoy Meister, bril liant yearling halfback. Meinter scored three of the frosh touch downs, tearing through the line and skirting either end for big gains. For the first three quarters the Washington babes resorted; to straight football, but in the last quarter opened up with an aerial attack that swept the St. Martin eleven off its feet. Named Head of High i School Convention Carl Dahl Portland Lawyer Will Talk On Law Topic \ Judge W. M. Coke, head of a veil known Portland law firm, will oe the principal speaker at the innual banquet for student* and ’acuity of the University of Ore gon law school, next Thursday even ing, at the Anchorage. Election Jf a president and discussion of matters of general interest to the law school organization will com prise the business of the evening. “It is tho custom ip the law school to have some general, so cial gathering with a professional flavor, at the beginning of tho year, at which time we take occa sion to call the attention of the new students in the department to the operation of the honor system, a real tradition of the law school,” said Dean William 8. Hale, head of the law school. “We take pride in the system and are interested in perpetuating it,'” he declares. Each year a distinguished mem ber of the bar addresses the stu dents, said Dea% Hale. The tenor of-his remarks on such an occasion covers the experiences th*at prac titioners will have in getting start ed in their practice; he draws from his own experience as a man who has been over tho ground. The students are usually more interest ed in a discussion of this nature than in tho discussion of a specific legal topic. Reservations for the banquet have been made at the Anchorage. The price will be 05 cents a plate. All those planning to attend are asked to sign up.

(Ep) Hoyt, former sports editor of the Emerald, and at present news editor of the Pen dleton East Oregonian «will be on the campus for a week after com ing from the round-up city for the California-Oregon game. Ep Hoyt has followed football for the last ton years and he thinks Oregon’s main weakness is in its offense. Hero is what ho has to say: “Oregon has a fairly good team, but its offense isn’t speedy enough. Since the line refuses to hold, I think the backfield plays should be speeded up so the backs could get a quicker start. If the kicking had been as good as in the Idaho game, I don’t think California would have scored more than two | touchdowns.” WORD RECEIVED FROM STORLI Victor Storli, a graduate of the business administration department ment here last year, is now work ing for his master’s degree at the University of Illinois, accorcttng to word received by Dean E. C. Bob bins. Mr. Storli is also teaching accounting at that University. '
