    PLANS ARE MADE
FOR MEMORIAL
Church Service Prepared
By Late President Will
Be Read By Col. Gilbert
Crowds Expected To Gather
In Woman’s Building At
Regular Vesper Hours
Memorial services for President
Prince L. Campbell will be held in
place of the regular Vesper service
at 4:30, Sunday, November 22, in
the Woman’s building. Judge Law
rence Harris of Eugene, a close
personal friend of President Camp
bell, will bfl the main speaker.
The services are a student me
morial, but in order to accommo:
date faculty friends, and the resi
dents of Eugene, the place has been
changed from the Music building,
Where Vespers are usually held.
Students To Pay Tribute
This is the first opportunity stu
dents in the University have had to
show their appreciation of the twen
ty three years of service devoted
by President, Campbell to his posi
tion as head of this institution. The
student body is urged by Bob Hunt,
chairman of the student committee
in charge of arrangements to take
advantage of the opportunity by
attending the services Sunday af
ternoon.
Among the private papers of
President Campbell was found a
church service intended to be the
first of a series for publication
to serve as a devotional service for
a large body of people who, for
some reason, are not in habitual at
tendance on church services. Col
onel William Gilbert of Portland
will read this sermon.
Program Announced
The program will include, besides
the reading by Colonel Gilbert, and
the speech by Judge Harris, a
short tribute from the student body
through Walter Malcolm, a violin
solo by Eex Underwood, a selec
tion from the University orchestra,
and several hymns by the vesper
choir.
Mrs. Virginia Judy Esterly, dean
of women, is chairman of the joint
faculty-student committee in charge,
those on the faculty committee be
sides Mrs. Esterly are: Dr. James
Gilbert, acting dean of the college
of literature, science, and the arts;
John Straub, dean of men emeri
tus; Prof. Frederic S- Dunn, head
of music; 'Karl Onthank, executive
secretary of the University; and
Maude I. Kearns, assistant profes
sor of architecture and the allied
arts.
The student committee is Com

Helen Cantine, and Ralph Living
spar.
-Cripples’ Return To
Squad Gladdens Fans;
Team In Top Form
Mathematical Dopesters Meanwhile Get Out
Trusty Pencils and Fiigure How Oregon
Can Win National Football Championship
Another week of hard grinding
and the 1925 football season will
be history, the gridiron shieks will
again haunt the sorority porches,
and copious quantities of candy,
French pastry, pies, hnd tobacco will
bo consumed by the long-denied
athletes.
A spirit of levity and optimism
has dispelled the pall of seriousness
that hung over the team while they
were preparing for the O. A. C.
game. On the field, many weird
formations were attempted, includ
ing such things as the lock step,
buck and wing, hit and run, and
quadruple criss-cross passes.' In
the locker room, the gridiron Caru
sos limbered up their voices, and
indulged their repertorie from
“When She Wore a Tulip” to “Yes,
We have no Bananas.” An impromp
tu Charleston contest was staged
with '“Captain” McMuillen party
ing off the honors.
One cause of the new-found hil
arity is that the cripples have dis
carded their crutches and are ready
to go again. Gene Shields was
back at left guard and prancing
like a two-year-old. Beryl Hodgen
was again adorned in 'molesfkins,
while Bailey, Socolofsky, Bliss, and
Gooding, all of whom have been
troubled with injuries, declared
themselves fit as ever.
Suppose Oregon beats Washing
ton at Seattle Thanksgiving day—
Washington has mastered Califor
nia, Stanford, and W. S. C. Stan
ford beat O. A. C. and Southern
California. The Trojans swamped
Idaho and the Aggies vanquished
Montana. It would be a glorious
vindication of an otherwise disas
trous season.
The Webfooters could dine on a
stew composed of husky, cougar,
beaver, and two kinds of bear meat
—grizzly and plain bruin—with a
Vandal and a Trojan to serve it,
and a Cardinal to sing sweet rhap
sodies.
Also Washington tied Nebraska,
Nebraska beat Illinois, Illinois
trimmed Pennsylvania, Penn won
from Yale, Old Eli toppled Army,
Army trounced Notre Dame, Notre
Dame defeated Minnesota, and the
Minnesotans are leading the Big
Ten Conference. Now all Oregon
has to do is beat Washington and
then play Dartmouth for the foot
Quick, Watson, the needle
ball champion of the world.
ANNA CASE TO APPEAR
ON CAMPUS DECEMBER 1
The first of the Associated Stu
dent artist concerts will take place
December 1, in the First Methodist
church, when Anna Case, soprano
from the Metropolitan Opera Com
pany will sing. She was on the
concert series two years ago and
met with great favor and popular
ity. Many persons have requested
that she have a return engagement,
the fulfillment of which was made
possible this fall.
She is one of the few touring
artists claiming complete American
ism. She was born in New Eng
land, educated in America and has
done all of her work in this coun
try. However, she has .been made
some very tempting offers for Eu
ropean tours, and will make an in
vasion of foreign countries upon
conpleteing the present season.
CRAFTSMEN TO HOLD
BANQUET TONIGHT
The annual banquet of the Crafts
men’s club, campus Masonic organ
ization, Will be held tonight
at the clubhouse, starting at 6:00
o’clock. An important meeting,
which wiir terminate in the elec
tion of a president to succeed John
MacGregor, resigned, will be held.
MacGregor now is attending Co
lumbia university, New York, where
he is continuing with his study of
law.
EUGENE PIONEER BUILDER TELLS
UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL HISTORY
John Zimmer, pioneer Eugene
builder, has seen every football
game played at the Universily of
Oregon for the last forty years,
having been connected with fthe
University, even before football
was ever played here, when Rugby
was the popular college sport.
“It was in ’94 or ’95 when I
built the first football ground Ore
gon had out where Kincaid field
was,” he said. “The boys helped
me, and I still have the posthole
digger I used at home for a souv
enir.”
A reminiscent smile played about
his lips and there was a kindly
twinkle in his eye as he spoke of
the old Oregon players. “Moullen
was the best punter I have ever
seen,” he declared. “Me kicked
from 75 to 80 yards. He had an
artificial foot of iron, and gosh,
how he could hit that ball! He
was a big fellow—weighed over
two hundred pounds. Latour^tte
was another good player. Nine
times out of ten when he was given
the ball he went through with it.”
Mr. Zimmer doesn’t think jthe
game of today is what it used to
be. “Gosh,” he said, “they hit
’em harder then. The boys used
to more or less train themselves,
too. I’ve seen them fight when
the opposition had only two or three
inches to go—and hold them.”
“There were only about 75 or
100 students when I first came
here. Yes, I used to know pretty
nearly all the boys nad girls on the
campus. I knew all the old play
ers,” he continued. “I was super
intendent of buildings at the Uni
versity for about seven years, and
was foreman of construction when
all of the older buildings were con
structed, except Deady Hall.
“Professor Straub is an old friend
of mine. You see, I was almost
like a student here on the campus.
I built Professor Johnson’s house
for him when he was president of
the University, and lived alongside
of him for about a year. Why, he
and I used to go hunting nearly
eve/y Saturday.”
JUNIOR SALE EXCEEDS
1400 SHINE TICKETS
The musical tinkle of dime clank
ing against dime in the Junior cof
fers swelled into a respectable cho
rus yesterday when the third year
class ^old over 1400 tickets \flor
shines.
This means that over $140 was
collected, which is about $30 bet
ter than the class did hist year, ac
cording to Verne Folts, chairman of
the Shine committee. The exact
amount collected by the class was
not yet determined last night be
cause the ticket sellers had not
turned in all the money they had
collected.
The 'committee asks that the
holder of the stub bearing the num
ber 1327 get in touch with Lois La
Itoche, at 947, and an interesting
mystery will be solved.
The first bright day in several
weeks favored the Juniors and they
made capital of it. However, so
keen was the competition of the
Junior lOc-shine that the sun with
drew shortly after noon, and hard
ly dared appear again for the rest
of the day.
A little exctiement was added
during the afternoon when a water
bag descended from the upper- win
dows of the library upon the cheer
ful and unsuspecting bootblacks'on
the steps below. A prominent sen
ior was accused and promptly seat
ed upon the drinking fountain.
The Shine Day tradition has
held true in another sense. More
than once the busy bootblacks were
heard consoling each other with the
happy thought that they could now
earn a living in spite of any de
gree they may attach while at col
lege.
So—a dash of bright color, a
daub of shoe polish, obliging boot
blacks, igay-bedecked ticket ven
dors—and another Junior Shine Day
has added its bit of picturesque
color to campus history, and joy
to the hearts of the poor families
of Eugene.
easterFart school
TO SEND EXHIBIT HERE
Word has recently been received
of an exhibition of art work which
has been booked for the campus.
The collection will include works
of the faculty of the Grand Central
School of Art, New York.
Tl# particular collection was or
ganized after it became impossible
for the school to fill all requests
for the very popular exhibit now
rotating.
All Sophomores
Must Report For
Work On Informal
Dance Decorating Is
Now Under Way
A number of girls cun be used
every afternoon in the prepara
tion of the bunting and other ma
terials.
The Armory is a large build
ing, as buildings go, and partic
ularly large to the underclassmen
who are attempting to cover its
commonplace walls with some sort
of attractive material, that will
take the dancers away from the
ordinary college atmosphere Sat
urday into the land of imagina
tion.
“We need men, every man in
the class can do his bit towards
making this affair the most 'suc
cessful of the season,” said Bert
Randall, general chairman, “and
without the assistance of every
person in the class we will be
greatly handicapped.”
As in the past there will be no
charge for the Sophomore Infor
mal contrary to reports which
have been rampant on the cam
pus during the past few days.
DEAN ESTElUIKES
CLOTHES OF CO-ED
All Types Of College Girl
Necessary To Group
It has long boon known that
girls will be girls, but in the opin
ion of Virginia Judy Esterly, dean
of women at the University of Ore
gon, there are some good qualities
in all of them.
“I could not formulate an ideal
college girl,” said Dean Esterly
when asked to do so yesterday.
“There are so many" types that are
all a distinct benefit to their col
lege. I should say,” she added,
“that the only essential quality in
a college woman is a respectful at
titude toward the dignity and cul
ture of scholarship and a desire to
advance the welfare of ]hor Col
lege.”
Family background or early train
ing make no difference, according
to Dean Esterly, if these two es
sentials are present. m
Mrs. Esterly belives that girls
can be classified into three main
groups; those interested in scholar
ship, those socially inclined, and
those with athletic ability. All of
these types are ideal in her opinion
if they develop according to their
own natures.
“The ideal college girl is a high
ly theoretical figure,” she remark
ed. “I do not believe that there
is a girl who embodies all of the
characteristics that are beneficial
to a university, but there are many
who have several of them and are,
therefore, important.
Health is a decided factor in
making the college 'girl, according
to the dean of women. Without
this the natural persuits of a col
lege education are greatly hamp
ered.
An extreme of age is also a dis
advantage. Those entering too
young or too old meet with diffi
culties that are 'not experienced
by the average college girl. She
said, however, that no one ideal
age could be determined.
“I think that the clothes of the
modern college girl are delightful.”
Dean Esterly smiled. “I love the
bright colored slickers with figures
painted on them and the straight
sensible dresses that are now in
vogue. I like for the girls to dress
in accord with the times, and I am
thankful that the present styles
are so sensible and appropriate.”
DRAMATICS CLUB ELECTS

VARSITY INTACT
FOB BIG Burnt
OK TURKEY DAY
Coaches Keeping Players
In Condition With Hard
Practice And Long Hours
Beryl Hodgen Back In Suit
And May Get Into Game;
New Punters Given Try
Tho last real week of work for
the varsity began last night with
two hours of running signals and
drill on the new plays that will be
used against the Huskies. The
team is making the last effort to
retrieve lost ground. The spirit
that flared before tho Washington
battle last year has shown itself
on Hayward field. The champions
of the coast are not owning the
team for it. is felt that what was
done last year can be repeated.
Tho varsity squad is intact after
tho hard game this last week-end.
No injuries have weakened the
squad so that they will probably
enter the game as sound as they
were before the Aggie contest.
Every game this season the team
has been wrecked by injuries and
were unable to work as a unit. Last
night the first varsity was whole
and for the first time after a game
worked out together.
Old Player Returns
Beryl Hodgen who ,has been out
for over three weeks turned out in
a suit last night in spite of a bad
limp ran signals on tho second
team. If the reserves run low in
tho coming game he will probably
play.
A hard drill on punting was
given all the varsity kickers last
night. The first team lined up in
front of the kicker and were drilled
on protecting him. Backfield men
were coached in holding fast rush
ing iseicond stringers out of |he
way. Fred Harrison called signals
and did most of tlie kicking, get
ting off some good long kicks with
some speed. Vic Wetzel and George
Mimnnugh alternated with him for
the hour of hard drill on punting.
The newest kicker of tho crew,
lanky Ick Reynolds, was also call
ed upon by Coach Hick Smith to
boot the ball.
New Work Practiced
The aerial attack that Oregon has
kept hidden sinco the Stanford
game was the cause of much work
last night. The passing of the var
sity was not exceptional. Tlieir
plays were broken up'many times
by the second string linesmen act
ing as a secondary defense. An
dersen and Mimnaugh did all the
heaving of the pigskin for the af
ternoon. Three sets of ends, Smith,
and Mautz, Riggs, and Reynolds,
Hughes and Powers with Brown al
ternating went down on the passes
in succession.
The same lineup that faced the
Aggies was running signals last
night with Jones, and Vitus going
through their repetoire of line plays
and Anderson calling the signals
and Wetzel at right half. Reynolds
alternating at end.
Team Receives Polish
The rest of this week is hard
work in plenty for the team. There
will be Ion;' practices devoted to
the polishing up of the faults of the
Homecoming game and the drilling
on new plays. After that the team
will taper off for the end of the
season. There is no great possi
bility of staleness for the team has
developed so slowly that it is fair
ly sure of not going stale.
APPRECIATION IS EXPRESSED
Jeannette Calkins, alumni secre
tary, expressed her appreciation
yesterday of the splendid Home
coming put on last week-end. “The
students are to bo congratulated,”
she said, “for the spirit they put
into the occasion. The directorate
and their committee workers de
serve special congratulations jfor
the success of their work.”
Miss Calkins said that F. H.
Young, president of the alumni as
sociation expressed the same senti
ments. “It was one of the best
Homecomings I’ve ever attended,”
he said.
Venus Is Visible
In Broad Daylight
Near Moon Today
Today Venus is visible in broad
daylight. The planet is easily
distinguishable, too, because ft
is located close to the moon. The
chance of seeing Venus in broad
daylight comes only oneo in years
to the people on earth, says Prof.
K. H. McAlister, of the mechanics
and astronomy department, <
I’ll is is one of the few occa
sions when Venus and the moon
are near together during the day,
although several times a year
they are in this position. They
will be closeest at 12:50 noon, re
maining in aproximately the same
places until they set.
Professor McAlister has 'given
the following directions to help
in locating the planet:
“The moon will be low down,
a little east of south, and Venus
will be underneath her. The dis
tance between them will be about
eight times the diameter of tho
moon.
“If you use an opera glass, fo
cus it on the trees of Spencer’s
Butte, then turn to the left in
tho direction of the planet. With
the aid of the glass you can see
that Venus is crescent in sliapo.
“Unless the sky is blue, or
without flecks of white, the plan
et can not be seen. The reason
is that such flecks mean thero
is a hazo in the sky, and tho
glare from the sun on the haze
blocks out Venus’ light, although
it is brighter now then any other
planet.”
RED CROSS ROLL CALL

BISHOP SUMNER
SEES MUCH TO
LNUD IN YOUTH
Churchman To Speak At
Assembly On Strength
Of College Generation
Confidence Of People Of
State I n University Is
Said To Call For Best
Right Bov. Walter T. Sumner,
Protestant Episcopal bishop of Ore
gon will make his eleventh annual
assembly address today in the aud
itorium of tho Woman’s building.
“Youth and it’s Great Power” will
bo his topic.
Bishop Sumner in past, years has
made his visit to the campus dur
ing the spring term but chose tho
fall this year, he said, because ho
wished to come at a time when
the student body would be fresher
and in a more respective mood for
speakers.
"Each year, of course,” Bishop
Sumner said, “I note 'changes,
which I believe are more pronoun
ced in the personnel of the student
body. Students today seem a more
progressive type and so much more
in earnest in what they are doing.
An appreciation for cultural things
is very marked now, due perhaps,
to the great expansion and espe
cially now buildings, the Woman’s
building, the art museum. I am sure
there is a greater appreciation of
the spiritual as expressed in beauty
due to late President Campbell’s
constant emphasis on it.
Late President Mourned
“I miss President Campbell very
much and always shall whenever I _
visit the campus because the mark
ed progress of the University will
always bo. associated with his name.
It is gratifying, however, to find
that the University is going for
ward on an even keel notwithstand
ing that it has been* without a 'cap
tain for nearly two years. All
which proves that a University is
not a group of buildings, a teach
ing faculty, or a group of students,
but all these plus an atmosphere
which is an ever present forco
pressing fgrward to greater things.
“As I go about the stato, I hear
so many fine things said about the
University and what is being ac
complished here. I somotimcs won
der if the student realizes how by
a thoughtless attitude toward the
work at hand, or by a selfish disre
gard to conventional conduct they
may shake the confidence of the
public in the integrity of the insti
tution and all it is accomplishing.
Students’ Part Vital
“Whencvor a student is involved
in any way it is not the name of
the student used in the glaring
headline but rather, a ‘student in
the University’ has done this or
that. A student once in the Uni
versity can never divorce his name
from it and the institution can rise
or fall in the esteem of the citizens
of Oregon in corresponding ratio
to the confidence aroused by the
student body.
“I hope the students will remem
bcr this whenever they may be
tempted to a course which would re
flect the slightest discredit upon
the University.”
Bishop Sumner is spending a busy
week on the campus. He spoke yes
terday at the Boosevelt junior high
school in the morning and in the
afternoon was speaker at the Eu
gene high scl^pol. Tomorrow lie
will address the Woodrow Wilson
school. Drawing his stay to a close
Bishop Sumner jyill deliver tho ben
ediction at the memorial vespers on
Sunday.
Special music is arranged for tho
assembly today.
MISS STEPHENSON IN SOUTH
Miss Gertrude Stephenson, chief
clerk in the registrar’s office, is
driving to Palo Alto today to
spend the Thanksgiving holidays
with her parents, who have recently
made their home there.
