The Nevada Sagebrush will be the
host.
Other resolutions were:
1. Freedom from faculty supervi
sion and censorship.
2. College papers should be main
tained as college newspapers and
not as publicity organs for off-cam
pus organizations and enterprises.
3. World news service in papers
which are equipped to handle it.
and which are not handicapped by
competition with metropolitan

cided to have the California Pub
lications’ office act as the clear
ing house for such news. This of
fice was also appointed secretary

RHODES SCHOLARSHIP
WILL NOT BENDED
Dean George Rebec, chairman of
the University foreign scholarship
committee has announced that the
Rhodes scholarship to Oxford Uni
versity will not be awarded this
year in the state of Oregon. Since
the scholarship is tenable for three
years, there will be one year out of
every three in which there will be
no election.
Mrs. Clara Fitch, secretary of
the foreign scholarship committee,
Dean Rebec will giye advice
for those who are to qualify next
year.
A candidate to be eligible must
be a male citizen of the United
States, unmarried, between the age
of nineteen and twenty-five; and
he must have completed his sopho
more year in college.
Candidates are selected by their
own college or university accord
ing to qualities of literary and
scholastic ability, physical vigor,
force of character, leadership and
qualities of manhood. These de
faile are also considered by the
state committee in the final se
lection.
The stipend has been raised from
350 pounds a year to 400 pounds,
1 which is equivalent in American
1 money to about $2,000. It has
! been found that even this sum is
not sufficient to meet the increase
in the cost of living in England.

NEW SCENE FOR
AGGIE-OREGON
GAME OPPOSED
Alumni of the University decided
by a unanimous vote yesterday
morning at their semi-annual, meet
ing to go -(jn record as opposing the
transfer' of the O'. A. C.-Oreg(on
game to Portland in the future,
game to Portland in the future. At
the same session, president and sec
retary were reelected.
“You don’t see Stanford or Cali
fornia moving up to San Francisco
for their games;' Homecoming
wouldn’t be Homecoming without
a game with our old rival;” “It is
commercializing the game;” “We
must remember that we 'owe some
thing to the campus and Eugene;”
were typical sentiments expressed
in the discussion of the proposed
scheme.
uommutee suggested
A recommendation was made and
•'approved that the Alumni council
appoint a visiting committee com
posed of six alumni, one being a
faculty member, another a regent,
and three others not connected offi
cially with the University but cho
sen from the three congressional’
districts of the state, and the presi
dent of the Association, ex-officio
member.
The chief function of the visit
ing committee would be to make
an official visit to the University
once a year and submit a written
report to the Alumni Association
and Council. It was particularly
stressed that the attftude of the
committee should be a constructive
rather than destructive one.
Before* the committee will act
ually function, the sanction of the
faculty and the regents will be
sought, Harold Young, president of
the association pointed out.
New Publication Considered
Mr. Young reported that in Alum
ni Council meetihg the proposition
that “Old Oregon,” official pub
lication of Oregon Alumni, be con
solidated with a new publication
which is being forwarded on the
campus, and be put under student
control. As no definite plan had
been formulated by the students
here, the association was able to
take no action, but referred it
back for student development with
favorable comment.
A motion was made and passed
that a satisfactory field secretarial
service for the Alumni association
be established throughout the state.

Jeanette Calkins, 118 were unani

OREGON ALUMNI
INFLUX BREAKS
FORMER RECORD
More Oregon alumni and ex-stu
dents were “back to back our Ore
gon” this year than at any pre
vious homecoming, according to
Miss Jeannette Calkins, alumni sec
retary.
Although complete registration
figures had not been compiled last
night, it was believed the total of
visiting “alums” would |be more
than 3000.
The grads have come from far
and near and tlxey represent nearly
all professions. Each graduating
class, ,it was thought, had at least
one representative. Ellen McCor
nack, class of 1878, the first grad
uating class of the University has
regiterod. Mrs. McCornack was
the only women in that class, which
had an enrollment of five students.
Sho is the daughter bf Dr. Con
don, early Oregon geologist, for
whom Condon hall is named. Mrs.
McCornack has done considerable
work along that line.
“An unusual feature of this
Homecoming is that every one of
the eleven members 'of the Alumni
Council, sxcept Dr. Harold Bean,
of Portland, was here,” said Miss
Calkins. That is a record attend
ance, she said.
At the mteeting of the council,
the members voted to thank the
student committees for the splen
did work done on the Homecoming
plans, and especially James Leake,
for his excellent work as chairman
'of the committee.
The process of registration was
facilitated this year by the use of
registration car^s, according to
Miss Calkins. In former years the
registering was. done in a book and
took a much longer time. The cards
will be filed and used to check
alumni files and for news items
for Old Oregon.
FROSH FALLS FROM FILE
The last night of bonfire build
j ing was rather a painful one for
i Mervin Chastain, freshman and Phi
| Delta Theta pledge, who suffered a
I dislocated shoulder as a result of
| a fall from the top of the pile
of materials. Chastain lost his bal
ance and fell about four feet when
he* was caught by some protruding
object. According to spectators it
was necessary to get a block and
tackle to remove him from the pile,

OREGON UNOBLE
TO WITHSTAND
BEAVER ITTMK
Webfoot Penalties Destroy
Team’s Scoring Chances;
Aerial Plays Little Used
By Web Jones
Moving with speed, decep
tion and power, the line-plung
ing attack' 6f the big Oregon
Aggie eleven crashed through
the Oregon varsity yesterday
afternoon on rainswept Hay
ward field by the score of 24 to
13.
By official account, 22,200
spectators, the largest crowd
to attend a game in the history «
of the state, witnessed the bat
tle.
Coach Schissler’s team failed to
open up its aerial attack and re*
lied on heavy plunging and conser
vative football for its points. The
super-accurate toe of Wes Schul
merich and his line plungipg were
the outstanding features of their
backfield.
Oregon Offense Good
Oregon’s offense was far better
than it had been this year but the
defense failed in the pinches. Beal
power was shown near the start of
the second quarter when the team
marched down the field from its
own 35 yard line, on 16 plays, to a
touchdown. “Locomotive” Jones,
the human steam roller, carried the
ball for 40 yards in this drive.
The first score of the game came
ten minutes after the Beavers re
ceived the ball on a kick on Ore
gon’s 35 yard line.
Snier, Denman, Edwards, and Sch
ulermich started a steady drvie for
the goal line, reeling off five and
ten yards to a play over the line.
The line plunging was wound up by
a clever end run for the touchdown,
the shifty Denman taking it over.
Punting Is Persistent
Vic Wetzel’s punting was not
consistent. He got off some kicks
above average but his short ones
took down his average. Snider of
O. A. C. out-did himself .in the
kicking department. Oregon had a
distinct advantage, however.
The second Oregon touchdown
cfime as the result of a blocked
punt on O. A. C. ’s 6 yard line.
Bob Mautz, playing his best game
this year, was responsible for the
score. He rushed Snider of his
feet and fell on the ball. Three
line pounding plays by Jones and
Vitus carried it over.
Aggies Place Kick
Twice Oregon was within scor
ing distance, but through penalties
was unable to carry the pigskin
over. O. A. C. did not rely on the
much touted place kicking of Wes
I Schulmerich until near the end of
' the game when quarterback Ed
wards maneuvered his team into
position and the halfback booted
the ball over the goal posts. Three
times the Aggies were within kick
ing distance but did not attempt
it.
The heart was taken out of the
I Oregon team by costly fumbles and
1 heavy penalties at critical times.
Two penalties of 15 yards each in
1 one quarter set the varsity so far
back they were unable to retrieve
I the distance in the period.
Teams Open Np
It began to look like a track
| meet in the last half when the pol
j ished passing attacks were let
I loose. The backfields of both
teams played “toss the ball” and a
fast one from Denman to Edwards
netted 38 yards. Schulmerich heav
ed another one to Edwards for a
good gain. Then Louie Anderson
opened up. Anderson to Mautz, to
Jones, and to Vitus netted over 30
