COMING DRAMA SHOWS STUDENT PROBLEMS ' -i! - ■i L Moroni Olsen Players Will Appear Friday Night There are four great questions that' come with especial force to students who are getting ready to take their place in the world’s af fairs, but their answers do not come so easily. They rtre: “What am I doing in this world?” “What am J here for?” “What’s the good of me?” “What has God got to do with me?” These isame questions come to John Thurlow, his son and other characters in “The Ship,” which is being played by the Moroni Ol sen Players at the Heilig on Fri day evening, December 11. See the play and comnare your answer with an Ervine, author of has pictured, in a drama of compelling power, fthe story of John Thurlow’s passion for the ships he has built, of his son’s determination to break loose from shipbuilding and all our machine driven civilization, and to go back to the land; and the effect of this decision on his own life and that of his father. “I don’t think machines matter much, Jack. It’s people who mat ter,” says one of the characters in the play; but Ervine shows us the other side. The world clock can not be turned back. Motor-cars, airplanes, and the radio, to say nothing of movies and oil-furnaces, will continue to increase and im prove. It is man’s ^business to keep ahead of his machines. The Moroni Olsen players are all college people, and several of the company have personal friends among students and faculty in the University. STUDENTS ARE ADVISED TO DAI ALLOWANCES A student should have a check ing account at' the bank, believes P. E. Snodgrass, president of the First National Bank of Eugene, to enable him to pay his current ex penses without carrying cash about his person. It is well, however, to have a savings account to be used as a reserve in case of overdraw ing, says Mr. Snodgrass. “One of the worse faulty the bankers have to contend with is overdrawing of accounts,” he con tinued. “Many people do not keep an accurate check on their balance and do not know when their ac count is becoming low. The best way to overcome this difficulty is to fill out the stub of the check every time a check is made out. Students are forming habits now that will last for a life time. Avoid slipping into careless habits of overdrawing.” “In writing checks a person should be careful to write his check so there may be no chance for alterations,” said Mr. Snodgrass in commenting on the drawing up of checks. “Always write in ink and if a mistake is made tear up the check and write a new one. If the amount is changed the banker doesn’t know who changed it and, as a rule, will not honor it. Peo ple who write checks carelessly are contributing to or invoking frauds. “If the depositor will make out his own deposit slip he thus pro vides for a double check upon the amount he puts in because the tell er looks over the figures and checks up on your result. This also saves the time of the depositor and the teller and furnishes a permanent record in the customer’s own writ ing of the deposit.” Mr. Snodgrass emphasized the necessity of always signing one’s name the same way so there may be no doubt as to the owner of a signature. “I think the college students dif fer little from other types of per sons in the handling of their bank accounts,” said Mr. Snodgrass. “However, I believe it would be a good thing if everyone would take a little more pains with his ac counts and learn more about hand ling them.” FACULTY WIVES TO MEET Wives of faculty members whose names begin with D, E and F will be at home at the Woman’s build ing Thursday afternoon from three to five-thirty. Faculty calling day, when a certain group of faculty wives are at home to their friends, is a monthly social event. Mrs. Franklin Folts is chairman of the afternoon. A musical program is being arranged. Wives of faculty members who are new on the cam pus are especially invited. STAR PLAYERS, COACH LOST; NEW MEN SHOWING UP WELL Football, Track, and Do-Nut Sports Indicate Good Prospects For Next Fall n 0 By Harold Mangum, It is hard to enthuse over Ore gon’s athletic accomplishments dur ing the past term. There are a few bright spots, however, that stand out, and will provide Oregon sup porters, wherever they may be, fod der for discussion during the lean months that must elapse before King Football again ascends to the throne. The most outstanding was the great game at Seattle in which the Washington champions received a thrill that they will always remem ber, when Oregon arose, phoenix like, from the ashes of past defeats and battled the Huskies to a stand still for four wildly exciting quar ters, aud only lost by the slim mar gin of one point, 15 to 14. The great stands made against Stanford and O. A. C. are also worthy and deserving of praise in the archives. Although the team failed to win a conference game, the far-famed Oregon Fight was always present and the men gave a good ac count of themselves in every con test. This season also marks the pass ing of Bichard Shore Smith, who came, Cincinatus-like, from his law office to lead his Alma Mater through a hard campaign, and then retired to private life. Like the famous Roman, he might be said to be “first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his players.” They all would like to see him re turn, but Dick Smith’s task is done. The athletic authorities are now in search of a coach who will put Ore gon up among the top-notchers. Perhaps a great contributing cause of the lack of success this fall was the failure of the players to assimi late the rudiments of the Notre Dame system as expounded by the coaches. Using the system devised by Knute Rockne, Oregon got off to a slow start. Multnomah club and the Webfooters waltzed through four slow quarters to a scoreless tie ’that satisfied no one and gave no idea of the relative strength of the contestants. The outstanding feature was the lack of offensive punch, caused principally by the failure of the line to coordinate with the back field. Idaho won 6 to 0 the next Satur day by cleverly mixing several breaks with studied ground-gaining plays, and making the most of what opportunity they had. In other words, they out-smarted the Oregon men. The Lemon-Yellow offense again failed to function. It was Idaho’s second victory in the his tory of athletic relations between the two schools, the first coming last year at Moscow. Little Pacific University was the next opponent, and afforded Oregon its only win of the season. Two touchdowns early in the first quar ter gave the Webfooters a 13 point lead, and they held this throughout the game. After this game, Oregon abandon ed the Notre Dame offense, and in so doing, lost the better part of six weeks .previous practice. The old attack used last year by Maddock, and before that by Huntington and Bezdek, was revived and used in Portland against California, October 24. California won, 28 to 0, show ing itself to be a superior team. The Golden Bears were in great form that day. Against Stanford, Oregon’s latent offensive ability was shown, and two touchdowns were scored on the Cardinals. Stanford had only a one point lead at the end of the first half. A huge Homecoming crowd saw 0. A. C. administer the fourth straight defeat to Oregon, 24 to 13. The heavy Lemon-Yellow backs bucked the Orange line with wild abandon and scored two touchdowns on the Aggies, but were unable to combat O. A. C.’s deceptive aerial onslaught. The team^ worked well together, fought like demons, and displayed their best football of the season. The Washington game proved that Oregon had the ability, and worlds of power and speed. NOMINATIONS MADE BY GRADUATE CLUB Nominations for officers «f the Graduate Club were read at the meeting yesterday noon at the An chorage. No nominations were made from the floor. Elections will be held at the first meeting in Jan uary. Ruth Riley and Charles Rluett have been nominated for president; Margaret Houck and Austin Hutch eson for vice-president; and Marian Hayes and Francis Powers for sec retary-treasurer. The Graduate club extends an open invitation to all faculty mem bers to join its group at these lun cheons. Three of the best players that ever donned Oregon Conors—Mautz, Anderson and Shields—will be miss ed next fall, having completed their three year tenure. Bliss, Bailey, Gooding, Dills, Reynolds, Soeolof sky, Kelly, Powers and McMullen will be lost via the graduation route. Harry Leavitt is a medical student, and win attend school in Portland next year. The new coach will have the fol lowing lettermen for a nucleus: Kerns, Jones, Smith, Dixon, Sin clair, Carter, Johnson, Mimnaugh, Hodgcn, Wetzel and Vitus. There were also several men who didn’t participate enough to earn sweaters who will be back. “Spike” Leslie’s greencappors also failed to win a conference game, but were in there trying all the time, and made a fine showing. Among the outstanding players who are considered varsity material are Pope, Slaussen, Jamison, Greer, Do Mott, Martin, Flegel, Thompson, Cadwell, Sandvall, Klippel, Woody, Wilson, Hagan, Goodin, Burnell and Gould. With sueh a wealth of material to work with, and a new coach of na tional reputation in the offing, it is cheerfully predicted that Oregon football will enjoy a much more suc cessful season during 1926. In the only other varsity compe tition, the cross country team lost its only meet—a dual affair with the University of Idaho at Moscow. Lack of veterans and sufficient ma terial to afford competition for positions was responsible for this poor showing, but practically the en tire squad is eligible for next year. The intra-mural basketball games were hotly contested and some ex cellent games were staged, notably the overtime affair between Oregon club and Beta Theta Pi. The quin tet representing Phi Delta Theta \v*on the championship. The teams were composed mostly of freshmen, and some excellent prospects for fu ture varsity teams made their debut. “FIXED STAR” A MYTH PTOLEMY DISCOVERED There is no such thing as a fixed star,” says Prof. E. H. Mc Alister, of the mechanics and as tronomy department. The so-called fixed stars, he declares, are moving all the time. If it hadn’t been for Ptolemy, that ancient ruler of Egypt who lived during the second century A. D., we might still think that those little specks of light remained in the same place all the time. But j although Ptolemy’s theory that the I earth is the center of the universe has been disproved, he made nota tions of the positions of stars which are used now by astronomers to show how times have changed, and are considered very important in comparing the relative positions of the heavenly bodies of his time with those of today.
