Huskies Take No Chance
Of Over - Confidence I n
Next Battle With Oregon
All Seattle And Students
Turn Out En Masse To
Greet Winning Eleven
A trainload of Huskies passed
through Eugene Sunday night with
victory and the first sure chance
at a Pacific Coast championship
resting upon the shoulders of 40
gridiron warriors on board. The
spectacular victory at Berkeley of
the Washington • team over Andy
Smith’s five year champions was
the big upset in t.he conference and
critics, writers and coaches are un
animous in the saying that it was
deserved.
Welcome Given Team
When the team arrived In Seat
ises to draw the record crowd to
to them. The entire student body
turned out en masse to welcome the
team home. Only one more confer
ence battle remains before the
team completes its showing on the
coast.
That game is with Oregon on
Thanksgiving. The struggle prom
ises to draw the record crown to
the stadium for enthusiasts from
all over the coast are going to be
these to see the champions play.
Already an extra large advance
sale of tickets is reported.
Oregon Is Feared
Enoch Bagshaw has learned his
lesson. That dashing of all confer
ence hopes in the mud of Hayward
field last Homecoming by an Ore
gon team that wouldn’t stay licked
taught him that he could never
take anything for granted. The
powerful Husky team of 1924, the
strongest supposedly ever developed
up north failed miserably on ac
count of over-confidence. Last sea
son the Washington eleven was do
ing wonders on the road to coast
conference championship and they
had it spilled by a slip up.
This Thanksgiving you can trust
to crafty Enoch Bagshaw that he
is taking nothing for granted where
an Oregon team is concerned.
1RBITH' TIES
LEAD IN POPULARITY
The top place in the list of lead
ing books of the season at the Uni
versity library continues to be held
by Sinclair Lewis “ Arrowsmitli,”
which now has a signed waiting
list of 41 names.
The book standing next highest
in popularity with the students is
“Dark Laughter,” Sherwood . An
derson ’s • recent novel It has a
waiting list of 24 names.
“Dark Laughter,” is the story
of Bruce Dudley, a man of poetic
temperament who leaves his wife in
Chicago and masquerades as a fac
tory hand in an Indiana town
where he has lived as a child. Th'e
title refers to the chorus of negroe
songs and laughter that sounds
through the book.
Mrs. Mable McClain, librarian,
believes that the popularity of
“Dark Laughter,” is due chiefly
to its neurotic appeal. It is writ
ten in the characteristic Anderson
style, but has been read much more
by students than “Story Teller’s
Tale.”
Two other leading books at the
library are, “The Constant Kym
pth,” by Margaret Kennedy, and
“The Professor’s House',” by Willa
Gather.
By comparing the list of books
most read in the library with the
list of best sellers given out by
magazines, Mrs. McClain finds that
the students are more discriminat
ing than the general public. One
or two books occasionally run the
same, but the students usually
choose a much higher class of lit
erature.
Section Is Reserved
For Oregon Rooters
In Seattle Stadium
Fifteen hundred seats at the
thirty-five yard line in the Se
attle stadium have been reserved
for Oregon students and gradu
ates for the Thanksgiving day
game between Oregon-Wasliing
ton, according to Fred Martin,
yell king.
These tickets which are regu
larly priced at $2.50 are being
sold to Oregon students at $1.50.
The yell king asks that a large
number uf Oregon students make
, the trip to help in the rooters
section.
Fred Martin will be unable to
make the trip, but Fred Hen
dricks will have charge in his ab
sence.
Tickets are now on sale at the

WORK OF STUDENTS
Carved Figure to Occupy
Niche in Arts Building
Work on a figure destined to be
called the “Standard Bearer” is at
present occupying much of the time
of Miller Bruhn, student in the de
partment of fine arts on the cam
pus. The original model was made
by Paul Walters, ex-student in the
University. Mr. Avard Fairbanks
and Mr. Bruhn have recently com
pleted casting of the figure, and
now the work of carving it in
wood, is to be the task of Mr.
Bruhn. Upon completion, the fig
ure, which measures about three
feet in height, will be placed in a
niche in the south side of the art
building facing the court. There
are two such niches. The one just
mentioned is situated on the left
side of the small balcony on the
south side of the building. The
other corresponds with it but is sit
uated on the right side of tic bal
cony. It is the intention of the
heads of the department to place
another figure identical to the one
now in-the process of construction,
in the remaining niche.
The figure represents a Boman
standard bearer, his arms rigidly
extended, with hands firmly clasp
ed around the staff of the stand
ard which rests between his feet.
The banners now hanging on the
wall in the hallway of the normal
arts department will be 'inserted,
when the statue is completed which
will probably be sometime in the
spring.

it is very necessary that all juniors
be present, according to James
Johnson, class president.
Junior Shine Day is given every
year by the junior class, and to
morrow is the day when everyone
is expected by the juniors to come
to the campus wearing shoes in need
of a shine. The proceeds are to go
toward a Thanksgiving fund for
the poor people of Eugene. The cus

Dolts, chairman: Lois Le Roche,
ticket sales; Ralph Staley, Bob
Love, Bud Christensen, John Bos
well, Earle Chiles, Audrey Lundy,
Mary McKinnon, Katherine Graef,
Edith Shell, and Virginia Keeny,
team captains, and Bee Harden, pu
blicity. Tickets are to be given
out by the team captains tonight,
to different members of. the class

a success, and are requested to
wear some vivid costume, ^repre
sentative of the dress of Spain or
Italy.
Talks To Be Made
Talks will be given Wednesday
noon at the different houses, and it
is hoped that every house will reach
the 100 per cent mark in the sale
of tickets. The tickets will be 10
cents, and 15 cents will be charged
to polish a pair of boots. The tic
ket stub with a number on it will
be given on each one receiving a
shine, and the person holding the
lucky number will receive a prize.

Credit Scale In Different

By The Editor
Startling defects in the Univer
sity system of grading have been
made evident by a departmental
segregation of grades recently com
piled and released by the regis
trar’s office. In many cases Uni
versity grades as reported in the
printed “scandal sheet” at the end
of each term are the result of de
partmental policies and are not feme
estimates of the scholastic merits
of individual students. I
In several schools and depart
ments a student may be reasonably
assured upon registering that Ik is
to receive a grade that will be
highly creditable to himself. En
trance into other departments nar
ries an assurance almost as gieat
that a IV or a Y or an F will

Ill’s, one fourth flunking, and the
remainder receiving IY, V’s, w th

Next in line is philosophy which
can scarcely be considered in 1 his

are Household Arts, Economics,

In the third group are those de

APPROVE HALL PLAN
Promotion of Study Is Aim
Of New Movement
By far the larger proportion of
the graduate students answering
questionnaires sent out to them this
fall by the committee appointed to
investigate the matter of a grad
uate hall, were in favor of such a
living organization for the grad
uate students on the Oregon cam
pus.
Bighty-five questionnaires were
sent to the graduate students, and
37 replies were received. However,
only 35 of tho answers are included
in the totals compiled, as the last
two questionnaires came in later
than the others.
> Twenty-ejjjht declare they would
prefer to live in a graduate hall
instead of at a private residence;
one person answers that that he
would not prefer the hall, without
giving any reason; two said they
were married, while four did not
answer the question.
The average room rent, according
to the questionnaires, was $11.70
for the 28 who gave the amount.
Throe lived at home, ono under
similar conditions, and three did
not answer the question.
Twenty-nine graduate students
quoted their board, giving figures
ranging from $15 to $40 per month,
the average being $26.10 Twenty
eight v^ere in favor of table board
in connection with the hall, while
the other seven did not answor.
The presence of men and women
in the same hall, segregated into
different wings of the building,
would not lead to distraction from
their work, believe 28 of the grad
uate students, although their an
swers are sometimes . uncertain on
this score.
Tweyty-seven think that a sep
arate hall for graduates would pro
mote better scholastic work, due to
contact with earnest students; to
the likely presence of faculty mem
bers in the hall; to the contact with
distinguished men who could be
brought there, and to the increased
possibility of privacy. One person
held the opposit® view, while seven
did not answer.
BIG SISTER COMMITTEE
MEETS TO MAKE PLANS
All lieutenants and captains of
the Big Bister committee of Wom

Ulrich, chairman, to meet with her
this afternoon in Alumni hall, at
5 o’clock. As it is one of the most
important meetings which the com

for the Big Sister tea which will
be given tomorrow afternoon in
stead of the usual Woman’s League
tea. Other problems will be dis
cussed and reports given.
'This afternoon the information
table at Mrs. Esterly’s office will
b3 available for the use of cither
Big or Little Sisters who are hav
ing problems to solve. Last week
the response was very encourag
ing, Miss Ulrich reports, and it lias
been decided that it will be con
tinued. Several girls who had no
Big Sisters came in to ask about
them, and Big Sisters came in to

BUTONE GAMETD
WIN CONFERENCE
Huskies Not Underrating
. Oregon Fight; Event of
Last Year Remembered
Stanford Now Preparing To
v Meet Bears And Repeat
Trick of Seattle Team
Pacific coast conference football
stands this week in a precarious
position.
One game separates the Washing
ton Husky from the coveted honor
of riding its pennant on the top
rung of the coast ladder. This game
against the University of Oregon
eleven appears easy.
Game Not Easy
However, the Washington team
is far from calling this game easy,
according to Coach Bagshaw, as
one great^ experience was learned
last year w^;n the highly touted
Husky crowd came down to Eugene
as favorites only to trek home on
the short end of the score.
A loss would put the Husky in a
tie with California unless Stanford
does the unexpected and topples
the Bear a little further from the
throne lie held in football circles
the past six years.
Nevers To Play
Stanford rested easy last Satur
day and with the big Nevers turn
ing out this week is preparing to
do the unexpected wheii they line
up against the Bear next Saturday.
At present Stanford is setting
next to Washington with Califor
nia, Oregon Aggies and Southern
California in a tripple tie for third
place.
The Aggies by winning two and
dropping but one conference strug
gle have a slim chanco of tieing for
titular honors providing Oregon
tumbles the Huskies and Stanford
is downed by California.
Four Teams Out
This seems almost impossible in
so far that the Beavers play the
Idaho team in Moscow and then en
train for California where -the
Southern California team will fur
nish competition.
Amphibian club is giving prac
tices on its entrance tests every
Tuesday night from 7:.'i0 to 8:30
in the tank in the Woman’s build
ing. “The essentials for making
the club are speed and form,” says
Miss E. Troemer, swimming coach.
“We, are going to allow plenty of
practices before we give the final
tests, so that anyone who is a fair
ly good swimmer will have ample
opportunity to make the club.”
The last three practices havo
been devoted to work on lied Cross
life saving methods, as a Red Cross
certificate is the primary require
ment for entrance. In tlio dives
for form and strokes for speed,
plenty of choice has been allowed.
The applicant must pass four stand
ard dives and one optional with an
average score of 85 points. For
speed she will be required to swim
two lengths of the pool with any
two of the following strokes in the
time specified: crawl, 34 seconds;
side, 38; trudgepn, 3(1; English "over
arm, 37; breast, 40; trudgeon crawl,
35.
‘ Besides the regular weekly prac
tice held on Tuesday evening, as
pirants may practice on Tuesday
and Thursday of this week and
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
of next week at 5:00. Arrange
ments may also be made with the
swimming instructors to enter their
classes for extra practices.
Coaching on Tuesday night is
given by Miss Troemel, and mem
bers of the elub. Last week there
were five out for practice.
The club has no limit to its mem
bership but hopes to include all
good swimmers on the campus in
its organization.
