Here There and Everywhere Sports Cream Skimmed From Late Occurences; Do-Nut League, Confer ence Football Discussed By WEB JOVES The fate of baseball will be de cided in the meeting of the Pacific Coast Conference. “To be or not to be, that is the question.” If for no other reason we hope they keep the game so that the campus cynics and critics can vent their spleen on unassuming and modest baseball players and coaches. That is the time when the penned-up [‘crab bing” of the year has a chance to get free. The campus is in favor of keeping the sport. • • • Like the famous Harry Beget controversy last year at the con ference meeting the august body will probably ignore the matter en tirely, or pass a superficial vote in favor of it. * * # Do you realize how popular the past do-nut season was? * * * The tournament after a year of disinterestedness in do-nut sports, came out of the slough with a leap. It was a complete justification of do-nut athletics. Two hundred players participat ed. ^ Twenty games were played. Two thousand spectators watched these games, with crowds ranging ‘ from fifty, to the largest attend ance in the Oregon Club-Phi Delt game which packed every available inch of the men's gymnasium with a total of 400 in the crowd. It was like the old days when George Bohler drew his varsity players from the do-nut league. * • • Some might fine games were play ed and from the all-star team pick ed by the sptorts staff we wager that five of the men make the frosh first squad. A little pre-season work for the athletes. • • • There is one man who goes down in Oregon’s athletic history as equal to the famous names on Ore gon 's long list of gridiron cele brities which includes such names as Johnny Beckett, peerless Johnny Parson, slashing Brick Mitchel, booting Bill Steers, who worried “old Haa-vaard,” the Huntingtons, and Dick Smith the all American and famous fullback. Captain Bob Mautr!,—you can check his name down as (being equal to any of the above in per formance—-was singularly honored by Glenn Warner’s choice as all eoast end. You can put it in your »- pipe and smoke it that the Stan ford coach is not passing out any honorary places. He played wonderful ball all sea son and well merited the selection. He passes as one of the most color ful and capable artists of the grid iron that Oregon has ever had. Like the lanky Hunk Latham, Moe Sax, with his raueous “cut-cut” and all the rest—a wealth of color. Why not hang a worn blue and white jersey with a big 16 on the back up in the trophy case? The man who stayed -so inspiringly with a losing team, deserves some tri bute.

New Library Book Aimed To Gladden Lives of Husbands If the husbands of the future are not happier men it will be no fault of the University library force, for whom seven copies of “A Thousands Ways tto Please a Husband,” by Louise Bennett Weaver and Helen Cowles Le Cron, have been ordered. “A Thousand Ways to Please a Husband,” is said to be the most unique kitchen and house hold compendium ever published. The romance of cookery and the inspiration of housekeeping, for two people in particular, and small families in general.

SAINT CECILIA MASS WILL BE GIVEN AGAIN Over One Hundred Turned Away Last Sunday St. Ceeilia Maas, by Gounod, which was presented last Sunday at the regular University Vesper Service, will be repeated again to morrow at the school of music aud itorium at 4:30 for the benefit of those who were unable to obtain seats at the first service. About one . hundred people were turned away last Sunday, and the auditorium was practically filled to capacity half an hour before time for the service to begin. The sing ing of the St. Cecilia Mass is an annual event rendered by the Uni versity choir, composed of the men’s and women’s Glee Clubs. Townspeople Are-Invited The vespers this year are being presented on the campus because of the fact that they are primarily for the students, although the townspeople are most cordially in vited to the services. The soloists will be Madame Mc Grew, soprano, Eugene Carr, bari tone, and Roy Bryson, tenor. The work of these people in last Sun day’s service was an outstanding feature of the presentation. John Stark Evans combines his directing and accompanying on the organ in masterful style. The work of the chorus during the entire Mass is a tribute to his musical ability and his control of the choir. Especially noteworthy was the singing of the “Sanctus” which is one of the most beautiful parts of the mass. Professor Dunn to Bead Due to the consecutiveness of the program, the doors will be closed at 4:30 promptly, and all who wish to attend are asked to be there before that time in order to avoid distur bance during the singing. People who heard last Sunday’s service are asked to give others the first chance to get seats tomorrow so that ev eryone will have an opportunity to hear the music. Prof. Frederic S. Dunn, will read the English translation of the Mass, which is sung in Latin, and Rever end A. H. Saunders, of the First Presbyterian church, will read the prayer. ADDRESSES CLUB At the meeting of the Education club last Thursday night in room two of the Education building, Mil lard Gilbreath spoke on “A Study of the Relation of Extra Curricular Activities in High Schools as to Irregularities in Attendepce.” Mr. Gilbreath was formerly the princi pal of Marshfidld High. Mr. F. C. Wooten spoke on “The Source of Oregon High School Teachers, and the Relation of Salaries to Experi ence.” PROFESSOR TO TAKE TRIP S. Stephenson Smith, assistant professor in English, John B. Sie fort and Eugene Carr of the music department, are driving to San Francisco during the Christmas hol idays. They expect to return before the opening of the winter term, ac cording to Mr. Smith. Mask and Buskin announce the election of Kate Buchanan, Elinor Beckwith, Connie Roth, Ed Buch anan, Art Gray, Joe Frazier. CUT IN STUDENT ACTIVITIES PLAN OF COMMITTEE Questionnaire by A. S. U. 0. To Be Filled Out Upon Opening Of Winter Term Results Expected To Give Every One Opportunity According T o Abilities An attempt to so distribute stu dent activities and to eliminate over-activity is the object of the activities committee of the A. 8. U. O. in preparing an information blank to be filled out at registra tion next term. The questionnaire will attempt to find out what present ^activities the students are taking part in and also the activities in which they are interested. In filling out the blank, students are asked to indi cate what kind of work they would like to do and to show what work they are doing. Under this new plan, student body officers, class officers, and all stu dents in positions which necessi tate committee appointments, and other responsible positions will be asked to make these appointments through the student body activi ties committee. Record To Be Permanent A permanent record card will be made from the questionnaire which the student is asked tk> fill out frankly and conscientiously as all future student body appointments will be made through the informa tion obtained from these cards. Besides giving information con cering student body activities, the student will be asked to indicate his outside activities. If the stu dent is working outside of school; is self-supporting; or is active in fraternity work, consideration will be taken of this in making student body appointments. Appointment System Explained A system of campus civil service is thus worked out in which student appointments are given to those who prove themselves best quali fied. For example: a group of freshmen are appointed on the bon fire committee. The bonfire chair man, after the work is completed, takes his list of committee workers to the student activities chairman, who records the success of the indi vidual workers on ' their activities card. “I hope that all students will help in filling out this question naire and aid in other work necces sary to overcome the problem of over-activity on the campus,” said Paul Ager, chairman of the A. 8. U. O. activties committee. BAZAAR FOR BENEFIT TO BEGIN DECEMBER 21 Notice has recently been received from Mrs. G. T. Gerlinger, of the board of regents, that many articles were left over from the All-Oregon Exposition, held in Portland during the early part of October, for the benefit of the Fine Arts building at the University. It has been decided to place these things on sale again Dec. 21 and 22, from 9:00 a. m. to 9:00 p. m. The sale will be held at the Portland hotel. This will offer a great op portunity to studefnts and others who wish to do some last minute Christmas shopping. According to Mrs. Gerlinger, there are many lovely things in the collection that are suitable for Christmas gifts. This money will also go to the Fine Arts building. It is announced that there will also be a food sale in connection with the bazaar, and the students are urged to bring food for this sale. Those having cars can also assist greatly by bringing in holly, ferns, and Oregon grape for use in decorating, and to sell, says the notice. Any further information may be obtained from Mrs. Gerlinger by writing to ,1064 Thurman Afreet, Portland, Oregon; or by calling her at her residence. Final Exams Stir Students’ Brains To Belated Action Frenzied Plays Mark Game’s Finish* Once more the period of con scious mental activity is here. Brains that have hibernated in their owner’s attics for the last six months are hearkening to the call of exams. Yawning and stretching, creaking and groan ing, they unlimber 42 feet of dor mant potency and rush out on to the field of battle. “Brains — Bah, Bah, Bah— Brains!” shout the anxious own ers from the sidelines as they eagerly follow the play. “Look! He got away! ” they cry as Gray Matter, the husky come-back plunges through Law and History, the opponents’ star linemen. A groan goes up from the excited onlookers. Sleep, the safety man, nailed him on the fifty-page line. Time out. “Second down, 200 to go,” shouts Conscience, the unsym pathetic referee. Down the field they go in a succession of frenzied plunges. Will they make it? Every rooter grips his pipe in dread misgivings. Finally—fourth down and 100 to go. Will they put it across? Let’s hope so. Well, anyway, they put up a good fight.

MORONI OLSEN PLAY APPEALS TO AUDIENCE “The Ship” by St. John J. Er vine, presented at the Heilig The atre under the auspices of the Eu gene branch American Association of University Women, by the Mor oni Olsen players last night was well received by a well filled house. The Olsen players, convincing in their presentation, handled with skill a drama of social conflict which might easily have descended into melodrama. Notable in the cast were Janet Young, playing the part of the la conic grandmother and Byron Poul ger, playing the reactionary sog. Other members of the cast also found favor with the audience. OREGANA DRIVE TO BEGIN SOON AFTER HOLIDAYS New Features Will Be Used In 1926 Yearbook; One Is “Oregonians” Section Space Reservations Must Be Turned In Before The Christmas Holidays The 1926 Oregana subscription drive will start soon after the open ing of the winter term. Details of the d^ive will be announced in one of the earily issues of the Emerald at that time, Betty Cady, editor of the year book, announced yester day. Several new features will be in troduced. One of these will be a section entitled “Oregonians” which will include pictures of representa tive Oregon men as well as women. Another feature will be the pic turing of every event representing the school year. Events taking place up until the printing of the book will be included. To Feature Dance Section A student dance section will also be included. This will cover pic tures of orchestras, decorations, pro grams, and names of chairmen and members of the committees of all student school dances. Miss Cady and Harold Readen, who is in charge of the annual de partment of the Hicks-Chatten En graving company, Portland, are working out an engraving dummy so that by the first of the year they will know exactly the size of the book and the arrangement of the contents. After this informa tion is compiled, the covers can be definitely ordered. These will be of brown with a bronze seal of the Old Oregon Trail by Avard Fair banks. Space Must Be Reserved “So far all of the organizations have responded very well in reserv ing space, but there are still a few who have not been heard from. If these groups desire space, they should have their checks in to George Ross, business manager, be fore the Christmas vacation,” Miss Cady said. Staff to Meet Regularly Beginning next term, a meeting of the upper news staff of the Ore gana will be held every Tuesday night. The regular staff members will report to the upper staff and they, in turn, will report to the edi tor. In this way each group will keep in better touch with the others. COLLEGE BALL TALKS TO BE GIVEN, SUNDAY Short talks will be given at the various men’s living organizations on the campus Sunday during din ner by a group of girls who will endeavor to arouse the enthusiasm of the men over the Christmas Col lege ball in Portland during the va cation. Tickets are now on sale, and the cooperation of the men must be secured. The committee will consist of: Jane Sanborn, Lu cille Maxon, Kathleen Tharaldsen, Thelma Sandstrom, Virginia Lee Richardson, Harriet Adams, Ethel Crane, Constance Roth, Catherine Martin, Virginia Keating, Nancy Peterson, Jane Cochran, Audrey Jensen, Kathryn Short, Margaret Vincent, Gladys Steiger, Lucille Pearson, Dorothy Taylor, Annette Heckman, Alice Douglas, Frances Wardner, Dorothy Statter, Lillian Luders, Dorothea Prael, Mary Stew art, Grace Cobb, Frances Hair, Frances Morgan, Katherine Mut zig, Doris Kindle, Mary Louise Dut ton, Maxine Edmunds, and Roberta Wells. CAMPUS GIRLS FEATURED “The Modern Maid Jazz Band,” composed of Gussie Gotleib and the four Burton sisters, known on the campus as the “Co-ed Harmoni zers,” will be featured tonight in a prologue to Colleen Moore’s latest success “We Moderns,” at the Mc Donald theati#. Oregon Co-eds Win Out-Of-State Fame For Clever Designs Oregon spirit isn’t the only thing the campus is famous for! Here’s what was printed in a North Dakota newspaper beneath a picture of the back of one of our co-eds. “Leave it to the collegians to think of something new! At the University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon the girls are wearing sweaters with gay scenes painted on the back. This co-ed main tains that the scene on the back of hers represents the spirit of the campus.” The picture represented ja “necking” party. However, dili gent search of the campus has failed to reveal any such illus tration on an Oregon sweat shirt. ORATORS TO TRY OUT FOLLOWING VACATION Entire Forensic Program Comes Winter Term During the holMays, a number of varsity and freshmen debate men will be hard at work on contests scheduled for the winter term. On January 12, tryouts will be held for all the University orators for the year. There will be an -entrant chosen at that time for the follow ing ' events: National Constitution contest; Tri-sta'te contest; State Old Line contest; State Peace con test; and Pacific coast forensic league contest, including one man for oratory and another for extem pore speaking. Now men will be used in the next intercollegiate cftbate, a triangle composed of the University of Ida ho, the University of Washington and the University of Oregon. Ore gon representatives who are start ing work on this event are: affirm ative, Ralph Bailey, senior in law, and Dudley Clark, sophomore in economics; negative, Jack Hemp stead, sophomore in journalism, and Mark M. Taylor, sophomore in busi ness administration. The question for February 25 is: Resolved; That the national defense be coordinated into a single depart ment with an equal branch for the army, the navy and air forces. A great deal of interest has been aroused in recent years over the national defense problem and espe cially in recent months has this been evident duo to Colonel Mit chell’s charges of inefficiency in our present air service organization in which air forces are controlled jointly by the army and navy de partments. The Oregon affirmative meets Washington’s negative in Eugene, possibly before the student body assembly on February 25. Oregon’s negative goes to Moscow, Idaho, and Idaho’s negative meets Wash ington’s affirmative at Seattle. The Oregon intercollegiate ora tory association of which the Uni versity is a member meets today at Corvallis to decide on the date and rules of the state oratory contests. Jack Hempstead, men’s forensic manager, will be Oregon’s dele gate. Speeches at tryouts on Jan uary 12 must be of 15 minutes dur ation and completely memorized, according to J. Stanley Gray and Robert D. Horn, forensic coaches. CRAMMING CUTS DOWN ABILITY SAYS DOCTOR “The loss in alertness is greater than the gain in facts,” says Dr. F. N. Miller, of the health depart ment, in a warning to the students not to sit up all night cramming for examinations now that the or deal is upon us. “A student will study late into the night to increase the sura-total of his facts perhaps 10 per cent, but will decrease his ability to put out facts by 20 per cent, a net loss worth considering,” he said. The reader might turn this statement around then, and say that the student retires early, losing something like 10 per cent of an increase of facts, but retain ing the 20 per cent in ability to put out facts, that he would other wise lose, making a net gain rather than loss by getting his proper sleep. Aesop said 2000 years ago: “a word to the wise is sufficient.” WAU-JLrxiXH UX 1928 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE HAS FIVE BIG GAMES Oregon-Washington Classic T o Alternate Between Portland And Seattle Stanford Homecoming Rival On October 23; Huskies Play Alabama New Years By JACK W.

OREGON HIGH SCHOOLS ENROLL FOR DEBATES Nearly 70 schools have enrolled with Dr. Dan E. Clark, secretary treasurer of the Oregon High School Debating league, to compete for the E. E. DeCou cup, given each year to the state championship high school debating team.

These districts choose their question, and later the state ques tion will be decided. Schedules will be made out the first of January and the debates will start soon af ter they are received by the high schools. The final debate is held in May at the University.
