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.
A copy of this book may be ob
tained at the circulation desk of
the library, by any co-ed who
wishes to insure her ability for
pleasing the other sex for all
time.
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.”

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. Enrollment
will be closed sometime during the
Christmas vacation, and district de
bates will begin sometime in Jan
uary.
The state is divided into eleven
districts, each of which has a di
rector. 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. Last year the
Ashland high school team, consist
ing of Marian Leach, now of the
University, and Barnard Joy, syon
from the MeLoughlin Union high
school, with Roy Herndon, also a
University student, and Chester
Babcock on the latter team. The
question was “Resolved: That Ore
gon should adopt a system of free
text-books in the public schools.”
