PRACTICE TODAY
Coach Leslie To Have Two
Squads At Work
ALL-STARS ARE ON TEAM
Finals of Doughnut League
Permit Early Start
Freshman basketball practice,
which was expected to bo postponed
until next term, starts this after
noon at 4 o ’clock in the men’s gym
nasium. Because of the lateness of
the doughnut schedule, it was
thought a week ago that yearling
hoop practice would have to be
abandoned until the winter term.
The doughnut league teams, how
ever, are playing in their finals this
week. i &i
A largo number of maple court
aspirants aro expected out. In
order to cope with the situation,
Coach Earl (“Spike”) Leslie in
tends to divido his men into two
separate groups. The two sections
will meet at 4 and 5 o’clock respec
tively, three tim|cs a week. In
order to ably take care of the first
year men hoopsters, Coach Leslie
Will have several assistants.
The ordinary preliminary train
ing and fundamentals will be on the
bill for the first week. Funda
mentals, the stop, turn, and the re
verse pivot will all take much prac
tice. A number of men turning out
aro from the green cappers’ grid
iron squad and will bo in fairly
good physical condition for the
opening training whistle. The
coach, however, will not begin in
tensive training until the beginning
of next term. The men will be
given tho ball in order to got used
to handling and passing it. Much
of the limbering up work will bo
done on tho bars.
Tho recent doughnut games show
ed that thore is a lot of good ma
terial on the campus this year. A
largo number of experienced basket
ball players aro expected to turn out
for the initial practice. Nover be
fore in tho history of tho institu
tion has thore been such an influx
of all-state high school basketball
players. There will be at least aV
all-star quintet to greet Coach Les
lie on his first appearance.
As yet, tho 1920 schedule has not
boen arranged, but asido from the
annual tilts with tho Aggie Kooks,
the green cappers will probably
tangle with some of tho best minor
college and prep school fives of tho
state. From tho southern part of
the state, Ashland and Medford
always give tho first year men
some strong opposition. Last year
* the frosh-rook games broko oven,
each team winning on its oppon
ent ’s floor.
According to Coach Leslie, all
men turning out for basketball must
remain in their regular gymnasium
classes for tho remainder of this
wook. Next week, freshman re
porting regularly will bo excused
from their usual work.
PUBLICATION PRINTS
PICTURES OF CAMPUS
Three scenes of the Oregon cam
pus occupying a half page in the
rotogravure section appeared in the
November issuo of The Wiley Bulle
tin, published in Now York. The
views were of the Pioneer statue,
Johnson Hall, and tho entraneo to
Commerce Ilall.
Tho Wiley Bulletin is published

lege and tho Massachusetts Agri
cultural College. This section also
included pictures of faculty mem
bers of outstanding institutions of
learning in the United States.
PRACTICE TEACHING
TIME IS SHORTENED
Owing to the large number of
students registered for practice
teaching this “year, tho teaching
o periods^ have been lliortened to ac
commodate them. The old system
of arrangements by semesters lias
been changed to one corresponding
to University terms. Those stu
dents who expected to begin their
practice teaching spring (semester
must now begin just after the Uni
versity Christmas vacation.
A meeting is to be held today at
4:00 o’clock in the Education build
ing, where all registered in the
~ course may make arrangements for
assignments. Professor II. R. Uoug
lass will be in charge.
FATHER ORTMAN FINDS GARB
OF ORDER KEY TO ODD PLACES
“I once permitted myself to be
locked in a prison cell with a man
who was condemned to be hanged;
the guard was outside, and I had
to stay where I was until-he was
ready to unlock the door,” said
Father Odilo H. Ortman, graduate
student in the University of Ore
gon, and Prefect of discipline at
Mount Angel College.
“I find that the garb of my order
gets mo admission to many places
in which people generally are not
permitted to go. In visiting pris
ons or asylums, I am taken through
those parts of the institutions that
are never open to the public. I
have visited the prisons, reform
schools and asylums in Oregon, Min
nesota and elsewhere.
‘‘I have found that many of the
boys in the reform schools are cap
able of being reclaimed to society.
The prisoners in the penitentiaries
will often try to persuade visitors
to use their influence to bring about
their release. They will say they
are innocent—havo been wrongful
ly convicted. But that talk soon
gets to bo old stuff—to use a
slang expression—for one who visits
the prisons frequently.”
Father Ortman is working for
the master’s degree with a major
in English, and a minor in Educa
tion. Ho did his undergraduate
work in St. Johns University, Col
lcgoville, Minn., and Mount Angel,
Ore., taking his B.A. degroo from
the latter institution. In addition,
ho studied theology for four years,
in preparation for his ordination to
the order of St. Benedict, a Roman
Catholic monastic order.
“Those in our order havo a great
variety of work to do,” he contin
ued. “I was sent out here to the]
Pacific Coast to teach in Mount!
Angel College. I teach geometry
and other subjects, and serve as
prefect of discipline. In this work,
I live with the students most of the
time, give them permission to leave
the campus, see that they obey the
rules, and so on. We aim to give
our students a home atmosphere
and training.
“Mount Angel College is really a
junior college, as we offer four
years of high school and the first
two years of college work. When a
boy comes to Mount Angel, we try
to find out what profession or vo
cation he desires to enter after he
leaves college. Then we give him
the subjects he needs up to his jun
ior year in college. After that we
send him to the college that fits
his need, to finish his course. In
this way we prepare students in
journalism, pre-law, pre-medicine,
pre-engineering, and other branches.
Our students have gone to various
colleges to finish up, including the
University of Oregon, the Oregon
Agricultural College, and Notre
Dame.
“On occasion, members of the fa
culty of Mount Angel College take
leave of absence for the purpose of
study, some going to our own Cath
olic institutions, and others to the
state colleges and universities.
“I*cl rather be in the University
of Oregon than elsewhere because I
feel I am getting so much valuable
contact with people of various
types and points of view. And I
like tho spirit of friendliness and
democracy here.”
Professor Ignores Fiction In
Desert Island! Test
Bible And Sheakespeare Favored
As Best Companions
Prof. W. F. G. Thaclicr, lover of
fiction, teacher of fiction, writer
of fiction, would not select a single
volumo of modern fiction if ho were
sliipwrocked with only tinio to se
lijjjt twelve volumes from a com
plete library with which to occupy
tho leisuro moments of his life.
Nor would ho choose altogether
books which ho has read. Bather
ho would take that time to pour
over a list of books, which in his
busy life as a professor of jour
nalism in tho University of Ore
gon, ho has nover had time to read.
“I would solect books which I
could read again and again,” said
tho professor, seemingly enjoying
the imaginative setting of being
shipwrecked. “There is no work
of fiction which I could read more
than twice, a fact which would bar
fiction completely.”
There was not a moment’s hes
itation in Professor Thacher’s se
lection of the first book.
“I would start with tho Bible, if
for no other reason than because of
tho important part played in tho
development of the human race,”
he asserted, and then turned to
Shakcspearo.
“I would want tho plays of Wil
liam Shakespeare for their inex
haustible source of human intorest
and poetry. I would choose him
rather as a poot than a dramatist.
“Next I would chooso tho Greek
dramatists—Aeschylus, Soplioclos,
Euripides—'beenuso I have always
wanted time to study them more
thoroughly. I think I would tako
the poems of ltobert Browning for
tho samo reason.
Then I would want tho ‘Oxford
Book of Verse,’ probably tlio groat
oat. collection of English poetry.”
Professor Thachor made it clear
that many of his selections woro
made for tho solo purposo of hav
ing timo enough to read books
which he has always wanted to road
thoroughly.
“I’d aeloct Boswell’s ‘Life of
Johnson’ for tho reason that I
have never read it, but I know that
there is a wealth of knowledge in
it. I should take tho works of Vol
taire for the samo reason.”
After a little cogitation, Profes
sor Thachor brought his swivel
chair upright with a jolt, and a
light came into his eyes out of tho
mist of book dreams.
“Put it down at tho end that I
should like a book of blank pages,
which I should want to fill myself,”
ho said, before ho named the re
maining volumes.
The works of Rabelais, tho great
humorist, would be next on the list,
because they have a rare quality
which draw from age to ago. The j
censored book Ulysses” by James j
Joyce tVould be found cm Mr. |
Thachor’s shelf. “Ulysses” » is aj
work of extreme modernism in j
which every feeling, preeepf and j
thought of a man for 24 hours are
set down.
“The greatest novel ever written
—as big as time, as big as the!
world—‘War and Peace* by Tol
stoi would certainly go into that
library. And thou tho poems of
Walt Whitman, the most original
and natural voice America has pro
duced.”
Shields and Gooding
Tell Of Past Thrills
In Football Battles

year. ‘Baz’ was freshman coach
that year.”
“The most thrilling momdpt) I
ever experienced while placing
football, was in the University of
Washington game last year. The
Huskies had the ball on our eight
yard line and in eight downs they
failed to buck it over,” said Alfred
Eugene (“Gene”) Shields, veteran
guard on the University of Oregon
football eleven. Oregon won 7 to 3.
Gene’s second big thrill, he says,
came when Louie. Anderson, quar
terback, threw a long pass to Mautz,
right end, and scored Oregon’s only
and winning touchdown in the
game against 0. A. C. last year on
Bell field. Tho lemon-yellow cap
tured this game also, T to 3.
Shields attended two other col
leges before matriculating at tho
University of Oregon. In 1919 ho
attended Washington State College
and tlicro was on the varsity foot
ball squad but did not make his let
ter. The next year ho attended
Oregon Agricultural dollege and
played on the Rook team that met
tho Oregon ycarlinjg eleven. In
1922 Gene entered the University
of Oregon as a sophomore. He will
graduate at the end of the present
term. According to Gene he in
tends to find a coaching position
after his graduation.
Football alone among the sports
has not claimed his attention.
While a student in tho high school
at Stevenson, Wash., Shields took
an active part in three branches of
athletics. Ho alternated at guard
and center on tho football team
for two seasons, was a member of
the basketball five for throe years,
and played on tho baseball nine one
year.

fornia, and Cutting of Washington
are but slightly behind the first
pair. Nelson Of Idaho, Smith of
Oregon, Mell of California, and Fla
herty of Gonzaga are also outstand
ing.
Erickson of Washington is prac
tically a unanimous choice for tac
kle, while Dickerson, the Aggie be
hemoth, is a stonewall on the right
side of the line. Sargent of Cali
fornia, Hanson of W. S. C., Poul
sen of Stanford, Cyre and Heisin
ger of Gonzaga, and Cox of South
ern California have displayed fine
ball at times, but lack the consist
ency of the first pair.
Taylor, the burly Southern Cali
fornia guard, is of all-American cal
iber, while Carey of California is
a three-year veteran of the first
magnitude. Gene Shields was trou
bled with injuries throughout the
year, or would undoubtedly have
placed on the select eleven. As it
is, he narrowly misses the coveted
berth.
Center provides the greatest prob
lem on the team. Bonamy, the
stalwart ball guardian from Wash
ton, and Stephens, the pudgy Van
dal pivot man, get the call, but
Miller of California, Balcom of
O. A. C., and Cravath of Southern
California aro dependable players.
Balcom has done fine work in ev
ery way this fall.
The backfield contains two fast,
elusive runners and two powerful
plungers. All can kick, pass, and
carry the ball. Nevers is undoubt
edly the greatest back developed on
the Pacific coast i» many years.
Possesed with phenomenal speed
and judgment, he has featured ev
ery Stanford game. Wilson is but
a shade behind. Kelly, with a poor
team, has been the outstanding
quarterback. We have had no op
portunity of seeing Drury play, but
all reports from the s#uth entitle
him to a position.
Some of the galaxy of ball toters
that have furnished thrills this fall
are: Griffin, Jabs, and Imlay of
California, Bogue, Murphy, and Hy
land of Stanford, Kaer of Southern
California, Schulmerich and Ed
wards of O. A. C., Tesreau and Gut
tormsen of Wa#hington, Anderson
and Jones of Oregon, Meeker of

Reget of Idaho, and Ingram of

PROSPECTS HELD GOOD
FOR OREGON MAGAZINE
Interested Students Meet At
4:30 Tomorrow
A decisive step in the movement
toward a new Oregon magazine will
be taken tomorrow afternoon, -Mien
a meeting of all the students inter
ested in its creation has been called
by the comimittee. At this meeting,
to be held in the journalism build
ing at 4:15 p. m., the committee will
report the results of its investiga
tions and present concrete plans for
the organization and administration
of the magazine.
The advisability of establishing
■an independent publication, as op
posed to an amalgamation with “Old
Oregon” has been thoroughly in
vestigated, the committee declares,
and it is in a position to give a def
inite report. All students who
were present at the last meeting
are asked by the committee to be
present, together with any others.
The work has been progressing
well, according to the committee,
and prospects are good, although no
definite details will be given out
'before the meeting. The proposed
publication is being looked upon
with favor by many departments
of the university, and it is planned
to make it a medium which will be
beneficial to practically every de
partment, besides offering an oppor
tunity for expression of the talents
of a large group of students who
have hitherto had no way to give
them an outlet. Participation in the
work will not be confined to any
particular group of students, but
will be open to everyone in the
University.
