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.

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.

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,

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.

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

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.

SPORT WRITER HAS
COMMENT ON CAME
Edwin P. (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.”
