The same old problems confront
the ambitious picker of all-star,
teams as ever before—inability to
see all teams in action, superfluity
of backfield scintillants, lack of
close scrutiny of linemen, and a
vast difference of opinion.
The teams presented above have
been selected after careful consid
eration and consultation with play
ers and coaches. A better rounded
combination wopld be hard to find.
The backfield is fast and versatile,
and the linemen have weight,
speed, and experience.
Mautz Is End
The ends are Captain Bob Mautz
of Oregon and Ted Shipkey of
Stanford. Mautz, after a slow
start, came back and has been the
outstanding star of the last three
games. Together with Smith, he
has made the Oregon wings im
pregnable. He is a stellar receiver
of forward passes and gets down
under kicks without loss of time.
Shipkey is on a par with him and,
in addition, is adept at carrying
the ball. Adams of Southern Cali

SPEAKER'S TOPIC
AT YJ. TONIGHT
Judge Skipworth To Talk
On Plan In Endeavor To
Rouse Campus Interest
Universities Are Discussing
Movement; Opinions May
Influence Senate Action
Judge G. F. Skipworth of Eu
gene will speak on the World- Court
question at 7:30 tonight at the Y.
W. C. A. bungalow, it was announ
ced at a meeting of the T. M. C.
A. cabinet held yesterday noon at
the “Y” hut. The World Court is
being discussed all over the Uni
ted States prior to its considera
tion in the senate December 17,
in an endeavor to stimulate inter
est in the World Court plan on
the campuses and to get the opin
ions of college students.
“Never in my experience with
students extending over many years
have I seen such interest in a
world problem in time of peace,”
said H. W. Davis, director of the
campus Y. M. C. A., when discuss
ing the question yesterday. “The
students in virtually every institu
tion in America are thinking upon
this question of the World Court.
I hope there will be some way of
registering the convictions of our
students upon this question. It will
have influence on the action of
the United States Senate which
convenes this month for considera
tion of the World Court.
The work of promoting the in
terest of students of the Univer
sity of Oregon in the World Court
is under the direction of Gladys Du
Bois and Bart Kendall of the cam
pus Y. W. and Y. M. C. A.
“At present the World Court is
the most imperative question be
fore the United States and ■ the
world today, and »we as college stu
dents and future leaders should
have some knowledge and interest
in world problems such as this,”
says Mr. Kendall. The meeting to
night is open to all campus men
and women who are interested m
the World Court.
Mr. Russel De Long, at the Uni
versity of Chicago, who is visiting
Universities on the coast in the in
terest of the Student Fellowship
for Christian Service pnovement,
was present at the luncheon and
spoke on this subject. “The pur
pose of this movement is to make
Christian principles a practical part
of every student’s life rather than
a theory,” he declared. It has no
organization or officers, and is
purely a student affair, Mr. De
Long said.
Workers In Drive To Meet
It was also announced at the lun
cheon that the workers on the Uni
ted Christian Work drive for $1500
from Eugene business will meet at
a dinner at 6:15 this evening at the
“7” hut. There will be forty work
ers, including 21 business men, Uni
versity faculty, and students work
ing in the drive under the direc
tion of Mr. E. A. MeCully. They
will be divided into teams of two
each, a student and a business man,
making twenty teams, and will
work Thursday and Friday of this
week.
ANNA CASE CHARMS AUDIENCE
WITH VERSATILE SONG PROGRAM
By Frank M. Chapman
Through her charm, her magnetic
personality and her voice of broad
range and commanding dignity, An
na Case again brought the Oregon
student body to her feet.
A full house at the Methodist
church Hast night heard probably
the most versatile song program
ever presented in Eugene. From
G. O’Connor-Morris to Wintter
Watts embraces four centuries of
musical composition. Interspersed
were the classics of Handel, Bach,
and Mozart together with a roman
tie touch of Puccini; a descriptive
sketch, “The Night Wind,” by Far
ley; and our contemporary Slav,
Baehmaninoff, was represented by
his “Lilacs.”
Anna Case is an artist of the
highest order. Her enunciation is
clear, her intonation faultness, her
production perfect, and her person
ality a crowning glory.
The program opened with a class
ical group of Handel, Mozart, Bach,
and G. O’Connor-Morris, all of
which were delivered with exqui
site finish. The second group, four
pieces by Johannes Brahms, brought
forth with even greater emphasis
her mastery of the classics, her
piquant brilliancy, and her beauti
ful German. The Aria from Puc
cini’s “La Boheme" was rendered
in' true dramatic style and concep
tion. The last group was made up
of smaller pieces of variety which
only proved Anna Case’s imagina
tion and unlimited possibilities.
At the piano was Max Jaffe. His
accompaniments were marked with
brilliancy, subtlety and complete
j finish. He is an accompanist of
[splendid attainments.

TO BE GIVEN FOR ESSAY
The Bennett prize for the best
essay on the principles of free gov
ernment aimounts to $27 this year.
Thig is derived from a fund given
by Philo Sherman Bennett, a
wealthy New York merchant who
died in 1903.
When Bennett died he left a trust
fund of $10,000 to his friend, Wil
liam Jennings Bryan. This fund
was to be distributed by Bryan to
25 colleges of the United States as
prizes dealing on the subject of free
government. In selecting the col
leges Mr. Bryan selected the Uni
versity of Oregon as one of the 25
and the University received $400.
This* sum has been invested until it
now amounts to $615.
Bennett first met Bryan in 1895
during the campaign of that year.
He had written Bryan a few days
before the presidential election of
fering his friendship and, in case
Bryan should be defeated, $3,000.
Bryan refused the money, but the
offer led to a friendship wtiich
lasted until Bennett’s death in 1913.
In his will he left this trust fund
to be administered by Bryan.
The enemies of Bryan learned of
the bequest and distorted the facts
*to Bryan’s discomfort. “It was the
cause of more (malicious misrepre
sentation than any other incident
bf my life,” Bryan wrote. • o
The award committee of the Uni
versity has charge of the’ essay con
test and the awarding of the0 prize.
The contest is open until the spring
term, giving ample time for com
petitors to obtain material and ar
range it. No prize was given last
year through lack of interest on the
students’ part. Two years ago it
was won by Arthur Bosebrough,
who is now a Bhodes scholar at
Oxford.
MBS. ESTEELY TAKES TRIP
Mrs. Virginia Judy Esterly, dean
of women of the University, ac
companied by her two daughters,
drove to Tillamook Beach for the
four day Thanksgiving vacation.
They were guests at the Lake Lytel
hotel.

PHI BELTS UNO OREGON
CLUB GO INTO FINALS
By R. M.
“Beauty’’ Toole and his cohorts
from the Beta Theta Pi house were
met and vanquished yestorday after
noon by the “galloping ghosts” from
the Oregon club. The score was 22
to 19 and the game so bitter and
hard fought that an extra period of
five minutes was necessary to deter
mine the winner. As a climax to
the afternoon, Phi Delta Theta con
tinued its victorious march, winning
handily from Psi Kappa. Score:
28 to 11.
Oregon club and tho ±>eta ineta
Pi. basketball teajms gave the gal
lery of fans something to applaud
when they met. Oregon club took
the lead soon after tho opening
whistle, and at the half still had a
felim margin of two points.
With the opening of the second
half, Epps, Toole and Johnson each
hoaxed the ball through the net
and collected six baskets, for 12
points and tho lead. Thirty seconds
before the close of the fray, the
Betas held a one point lead. This
was nullified and the score tied
when Johnson, playing for the
Betas, fouled McCormick, who con
verted and tied the score at 17 all.
In the five minutes over time per
iod Oregon club “snagged” a pair
of baskets and tho game with one
free throw, while the Betas were
collecting two points on a field goal

noon the Phi Delt’s all-star aggre
gation romped in winners and placed
themselves in the select three. “Bat”
Nelson’s Psi Kappas furnished the
opposition, but seamed far off their
usual game. They were dead on
their feet and lacked their usual
snap. “Tuffy” Chastain, all-state
forward of last year, was high point
man of the game. He collected 14
markers.
This afternoon at 4 o’clock the

TWO OREGON GRIDIRON STARS
TELL OF THEIR BIGGEST THRILL
Bert Gooding, tackle on the Ore-1
gon» varsity, was hurriedly pack-1
ing his suitcase preparatory to de
parture for his last trip with an
Oregon football team, to play the
“Huskies” in Seattle on Thanks
giving day. Gooding has played
three years on the varsity, and
won two letters.
“Do you know,” ho said, “it’s
a funny feeling for a fellow to real
ize he’s about to make his last trip
for the ‘Alma Mater.’ We had our
last practice for the season this
afternoon, just signal practice and
it lasted till dark. After it was
all over, we old timers—five of us,
Bob Mautz, Ken Bailey, Louie An
derson, Gene Shields and myself,
got together and gave a yell for
old Hayward field. For it was the
last time we would ever be out
there in moleskins.
“The biggest thrill I ever ex
perienced in a game was with Wil
lamette two years ago, when Bob
Mautz blocked a punt and I grab
bed the ball and crawled 10 yards
on my hands and knees for a touch
down. I was top scared to take
the time to get up and run like a
human!” He laughed as he recall
ed the incident. “You see, it’s so
seldom a , lineman ever gets «a
chance to carry a ball, that he gets
quite a thrill when he does get a
hold of it.
“I didn’t play football in high
school, so I don’t suppose I ever
would have played the game if
‘Baz’ Williams hadn’t talked me
into going out for it in the middle
of the season during my freshman
