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

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.

decorations. To carry out tho
Christmas spirit a wreath will be
used; and as a suggestion for the
New Year, a floral piece of white
will be employed.
