Competition Reported Close
Competition in both tryouts was
exceedingly close according to Mr.
Gray, who together with Bobert D.
Horn, and Walter Snyder judged
the various speakers. There is
good material, he said, although he
regretted that more, men did not
turn out* than the 23 who spoke
last night in Villard hall. There
are art least six extremely forceful
debaters on the squad,” said Mr.
Gray last night, “and the others
are also capable speakers.”
Tryouts last night were held on
the subject, “Besolved, that jthe
foreign powers would discontinue
intervention in China’s political
affairs.”
Five minutes were devoted to
constructive argument and . three
minutes to rebuttal. An affirma
tive speaker debated against a neg
ative speaker, and tfiey answered
each other’s arguments. Since there
were more affirmative speakers,
arguments were presented b"y the
judges for refutation by the de
bate aspirants.
Subsidy Question Discussed
Freshmen spoke on the subject,
“Besolved that the federal govern
ment should discontinue the policy
of granting subsidies to states.”
New men will be used in every
debate this year according to re
cent plans of Mr. Gray. Hereto
fore, the same debaters have par
ticipated in two or three contests.
Mr. .Gray’s new.plans are to have
different persons in each debate,
including varsity and freshman men

Old Battleship’s
Flag Smiles Upon
Oregon Pledge Day
Few students who attended the
Pledge Day assembly Thursday
and heard the reference of Jay
Upton to the flag of Battleship
Oregon realized that’ the huge
American flag draped across the
back of the stage in the woman’s
building was the same flag that
Mr. Upton referred to.
The flag was given as a gift
to the University and is so fra
gile that it is taken out only on
rare occasions. It is the same
one that graced the mast of the
old warrior when it made its
14,000 mile trip from Mare Isl
and Navy yard around the horn
and arrived in Cuban waters in
time to take part in the Battle
of Santiago. Rear-admiral Chas.
E. Clark, then a captain, com
mander of the famous old ship
and earned undying iglory for
himself and country.
FIRST LEAGUE PARTY
GIVEN LAST NIGHT
Women Le&ders on Campus
Speak to Freshmen
Approximately 350 girls attended
the first big party which Women’s
League lias given for its members
this year at the Woman’s building,
last evening. In accordance with
its name, “Get Wise Party,” the
program was offered with the plan
of acquainting freshmen women
with campus activities.
Among the speakers was Marga
ret Boyer, president of Y. W. C. A.,
who outlined the schedule of that
organization, mentioning liability,
Freshman commission, girl reserve
work, and regular meetings of the
organization. ,
Janet Wood, president of W„ A.
A., mentioned various sports in
which girls may take part; swim
ming, volley ball, basketball, rif
lery, baseball, archery, tennis, can
oeing, and horseback-riding, being
particularly mentioned. She empha
sized the fact that all girls who
voluntarily turn out for these
sports will be put on teams and al
lowed to work up.
Anna DeWitt, president of Worn
sn’s League, outlined various acti
vities connected with that organi
sation, including teas, dime crawls,,
foreign scholarship, April frolic,
Hid student loans.
Mrs. Esterly explained things
which college attempts to do for
girls, give them “finer intellect, a
finer spirit, healthy body and a de
velopment of their own power of
spirit.”
Eloise Buck, who is president of
Mortar Board, named the honor
iries of the campus, and their pri
mary purposes.
Between stunts the girls danced,
ind tea and wafefs were served at
she end of the program.
EDUCATION SHOULD DEVELOP
CHARACTER, SAYS GOV. PIERCE
Walter M. Pierce, governor of
the state of Oregon, who visited
the campus yesterday to adminis
ter the pledge in assembly, sat
down in the president’s office in
Johnson hall and tore scraps of
paper into small bits, toying with
them as he talked, to his youngest
daughter who sat on the table and
assured him that everything was
going well.
A group of girls in gym suits
doing entertaining things with
balls in the field engaged his at
tention. “What’s that, what’s
thatt” he asked, peering out the
window, and was informed that it
was only part of the day’s work
in a freshman’s life.
“So you’re training to be a re
porter,” he addressed the writer;
“one of these reporters I suppose,
who have been roasting me for
forty years.” (This with a twinkle
of the eye). “What can I tell
yout”
"I’m going to administer the
pledge in a serious and solemn
manner,” he said with a wave of
his hand. “And I’m going to tell
them some things. I’m going to
tell them that the chief thing in
school life is to develop the right
character. To develop honest, true
men and women with proper ideals;
that’s the aim of education.”
He interrupted himself to ex
change bits of news with his daugh
ter, whom he had not seen since
she entered the University last
month.
“Are the rules strict enough?”
he asked. “The board of regents
meets soon, and we’ll see what wo
can do about tightening them up
if you think they are too lenient.
You have to be* in by ten-thirty?
That’s fine; that’s fine.” Hia
whole face lighted up with a smile.
Then become suddenly serious
again.
He talked clearly and emphatical
ly, moving rapidly from one sub
ject to another. The Governor is
a man of affability and charm of
manner and seemed keenly inter
ested in campus news and activity.
Books are an especial hobby of his,
-and his conversation shows ac
quaintance’-with ancient, medieval,
and modern history of all parts of
the world.
Two of his daughters attend
school here, Edith, a senior, and
Lorraine, a freshman.

CHOICE OF HEAD
FOR UNIVERSITY
i BEFORE REGENTS
Committee Report Shows
Total Number of 9181
In All Branches of Work
More Students Rejected
Due To Higher Entrance
Requirement This Year
The regular quarterly fall meet
ing of the Board of Regents of the
University of Oregon will be held
in Portland today, at which time
the matter of a successor to the
late Prince L.. Campbell, president,
will be considered. The meeting
was called in Portland in order that
Mr. C. E. Woodson, one of the mem
bers who is sick, could attend.
There are at present 9181 stu
dents registered in the University,
in all branches, according to infor
mation contained in .the annual re
port of the administrative commit
tee of the University of Oregon,
which will be submitted to the Re
gents at their meeting.
Increase Shown on Campus
This enrollment includes 2749
students on the Eugene campus, of
which 1488 are men and 1261 wom
en. The Portland Medical school
has 229 students this year, 13 of
which are women. The 1925 Port
land summer session included 624
of the total enrollment, 525 of this
number being women. The Eugene
summer session for 1925 was also
very popular, with 388 people en
rolled; men were more numerous,
with 137 enrolled.
There are 2279 persons signed up
for correspondence courses from
the University, and 2912 people are
taking advantage of the University
extension school ito further their
education.
Total enrollment on the Univer
sity campus has increased eight per
cent since last year, or an increase
of 219 students. There was an in
crease of 13 per cent in the fresh
man class alone. Over 100 appli
cants were refused admission this
year that would have been admit
ted last year under lower require
ments. Each year the Medical
School rejects fully as many appli
cants as it accepts, due to the
limit placed on enrollment there by
officials.
Building Problems Discussed
The committee asked the aid of
the Board of Regents in attempting
to control the problem of buildings
being constructed on the opposite
side of the mill race from the
bleachers, owned by the University,
which would materially detract
from the annual canoe fete. Help
was also asked to curb the construc
tion of shacks on the edge of the
campus.
The Doernbecher Memorial Hos
pital, which has been under con
struction on the Medical School
campus, is now nearing completion,
and will be ready ito turn over to
the University by December, ac
cording to the report of the ad
ministrative committee.
The committee advises the board
that this coming June will mark
the semi-centennial of academic
instruction at the University of
Oregton, and suggests that this faqt
should be made known, and the op
portunity utilized to set forth the
professional and intellectual achi
evements of the University. This
I could be done by bringing men of
distinction to the campus, whose
lectures would bring back gradu
ates.
Appointments Reported
Amended to the reptort of the
i committee was a list of appoint
ments which have been made in
the iivterim between board meet
| ings. All appointments are to fill
vacancies at no increased expense,
and in some departments there has
'< actually been a saving over former
estimates. The total list of appoint
ments show an actual saving over
I the budget adopted at (the May
■. meeting of the Board.
The report was signed by Henry
D. Sehldon, L. H. Johnson, and
Karl On thank.
Lemon and Green
Used On Stickers
For Homecoming
The University press has just
printed 3000 large size stickers
ordered by the Homecoming di
rectorate which will be distribu
ted about the campus and
throughout the state during the
coming week.
The stickers are arranged with
a yellow and green colored de
sign. They are rectangular in
shape and will offer a distinc
tive change over^those of previ
ous years. Several thousand
smaller stickers are also being
prepared for the use of the Home
coming committee.
ON PALO ALTO FIELD
Team With Coaches Arrives
In South Friday
The Oregon Varsity meets the
strongest team in the Pacific Coast
conference without exception this
afternoon at 3:00 o’clock in the
Stanford stadium at Palo Alto. The
cardinal squad has shown far more
power than California this season
and what showing the Lemon Yel
low team makes against them will
be through fight alone.
The team with the coaching
staff, and Bill Hayward with his
trainers was scheduled to arrive in
Palo Alto late yesterday afternoon
in time for a short workout on the
turf gridiron. Practically the same
lineup will go into the game as
entered the California game.
Pop Warner, crafty old coach of
the highest order, is not taking
any chances, so ho is putting his
first team in the lineup according
to all reports from the south. Er
nie Nevers, by far the most out
standing man on the coast, will .
start the game as fullback opposite
Lynn Jones. The rest ''of the team
will average about 190 'pounds.
They are bigger ahd probably just
as fast as the California team.
The dope is criisliingly against
the varsity. Oregon was defeated 1
by Idaho 6 to 0 and the University
of Southern California defeated 1
Idaho 51 to 7. Then two weeks ago [
Stanford won a hard fought game
from Howard Jones’ U. S. 0. squad 1
by 'the score of 13 to 9, so that
places the odds against Oregon. 1
THIRTY-EIGHT OBTAIN
CUSH FROM LOAN FUND
The juniors seem to be harder
pressed for money this year than
any of the other ^classes. Fourteen
out of the thirty-eight who have
borrowed from the Student Loan
Fund this quarter, have been from
that class, as shown on the record
kept by the loan fund committee.
The seniors run a close second with
thirteen. Eight sophomores and
three freshmen have also taken ad
vantage of the loans. The laitter
three are all women as no loans
are available for the , freshman
men.
Besides the students borrowing
from this fund, thirteen have bor
rowed from the Crawford Loan
Fund in Portland.
Dean Walker, chairman of the
Loan Fund committee accredits
the early loan to the payment of
fees. He expects that the number
will not increase much after all of
the fees have been paid.
“The Student Loan Fund is very
low now,” states Dean Walker,
“and the committee is discouraging
large loans.” It is attempting to
increase the fund by pressing col
lections on loans that are due now,
and by encouraging premature pay
ment of others.”
An attempt is made by the com
mittee to grant loans to It^ose
most needy and most deserving of
them.

Good; Backfield Is Light
By Dick Syrlng
Freshman Coach Wayne Sutton
and 23 baby Huskies from the Uni
versity of Washington arrived here
yesterday morning in preparation
for the battle with the University
of Oregon yearlings on Hayward
field this afternoon at one o’clock.

pounds. This will outweigh the
Oregon squad about five pounds to
the ihan.
Schneiderman, center, and Mei
iter, fullback of the Huskies’'babes
ire exceptionally large men for a
:ollege freshman team. These two
>vere big factors in the 26 to 0 de
feat administered St. Martin’s col
lege last Saturday. The offense in
this game was built entirely around
Meister who made three of the four
touchdowns. “ The local green cap
pers will undoubtedly be excelled
n the punting department as La
irache and Montgomery are noted
for their long spiral boots. Ore
gon freshman booters average
ib out 35 yards.
Home Team In Good Form
The Oregon yearling football
earn, although under-rated at the
'ore part of the season, has been
ihowing much football sense in the
icrimmage tilts with the varsity,
rhe freshmen will be handicapped
lomewhat by a lightweight back
'ield. This is to some extent off
let by its speed. The line is heav
er and has been playing good of
fensive and defensive ball. Cad
well at eerier has a good spiral
mss. Gear and Jamison, ends, are
;all, rangy, and fast on getting
lown under punts. Thompson and
Flegel, guards, are both heavy and
aut upa good fight. DeMott and
Martin, tackles are two lanky play
srs. Martin, who is a fair kicker,
will do his share of today’s boot
ing. Wilson and Woody have been
alternating at quarter all week,
with Wilson getting the call to
itart the game. Both of these men
have displayed good generalship in
practice. Cole and Hfugan at halves
and Gould at fullback, complete the
