Grid Program Scheduled For 1926 Three Homecoming Tilts And Multnomah Field Dedication Included By HAROLD MANGUM Further proof of the sagacity and business acumen of Jnck Benefiel, Oregon’s big league graduate man ager, is found when the 1926 Web foot grid schedule is studied and its possibilities realized. Here it is. October 9, Washington at Port land. October 16, Pacific at Eugene. October 23, Stanford at Eugene. October 30, California at Berke ley* November 13, W. S. C. at Pull man. November 20, O. A. C. at Cor -vallis. * * * Three of these games are home coming contests and a fourth will dedicate the immense Multnomah stadium in Portland. The Stanford game will be Oregon’s homecoming affair, while both the Washington ■State and Oregon Aggie contests will find the old grads trekking back to their alma maters. « * * “Four factors will tend to assure a capacity house in Portland,” said "Sam Wil'derman, publicity director of the associated students, yester day in discussing the schedule, “First, Multnomah’s mammoth sta dium will be dedicated; second, Coach McEwan will display his first conference entry; third, there is Oregon’s great game at Seattle last Thanksgiving day; and last, but not lea/St, there is the natural riv alry between the two big north western universities. Under favor able weather conditions, 25,000 people should attend. “The Oregon homecoming game with Stanford should sell out Hay ward field with a resultant attend ance of 15,000. The Washington Staters promise between 12,000 and 15.000 for their tussle with Mc Ewan’s men, while an Oregon-O. A. C. contest is almost sure to put 20.000 in the big Aggie stands. “Only the California attendance is problematical, as it may reach anywhere from 10,000 to 50,000, de pending upon Oregon’s success against Stanford and Washington. Any way you figure, 1926 looks like ■a banner year with an attendance Tanging from 90,000 to 110,000. We played before approximately 75, 000 people last fall, and cleared $17,000, or more than an Oregon sport ever paid before.” * * » Another stroke of foresightedness is seen in the present basketball schedule. Oregon, with an aggre gation of veterans, had an early season trip through the northern section of the circuit which caught the other teams, composed for the most part of new. players, unpre pared and in a process of forma tion. If the tour had to be under taken now, it is doubtful if such success would accompany it. Such schedules don’t just happen. For example, Montana, which Oregon trounced twice early in the season, has rallied on its home floor and has won its last three games. Education Honorary Will Hold Initiation Phi Delta Kappa, men ’Jj honor ary education society, will hold an initiation Saturday afternoon and evening at the University high school. At 6 o ’clock there will be a banquet at College Side Inn. The list of speakers will include Prof. P. L. Spencer, president, and Prof. Oscar W.

An extensive program covering al most every angle of newspaper pub lishing has been planned for the visitors. School of journalism istudents conceived the idea, and have full charge of the exhibit to be shown at the exhibit room of the art building Friday and Saturday and possibly Sunday. The collection contains specimens from the Uni versity of Oregon library vaults, the collection of rare Bibles at the Eugene Bible University, col lections of individuals, and the pri vate library of John Henry Nash, master printer of San Francisco, who will attend the conference. The committee making the selec tion consists of: Hal Kirk, Oregon City, chairman; Wayne Leland, of Salem; Glen Burch, of Gladstone; and James Leake, of Portland. Printers Show Wares Certificates of merit will be awarded to printers, newspapermen having job presses, and members of the Ben Franklin club, an asso ciation of printers in the Willam ette valley, sending in the best specimens of good printing done in their shops. Samples will be on dis play *with the exhibit. One of the most interesting parts of the collection will probably be a leaf from the Gutenberg Bible of the fifteenth century, and sam ples of work from the presses of William Morris and Bodoni, which Mr. Nash will bring from San Francisco. Books from the presses the Elzevirs and Christopher Planin, the sixteenth century, and a Latin dictionary from the press of Rob ert Fstienne, Paris, 1539, will also be on exhibit in the art building. Banquet is Tonight The conference banquet at the Hotel Osburn tonight will be one of the most anticipated events of the two day session. Ruth Gregg, senior in the school of journalism, will make the address representing students of the department. Tickets for the banquet, which will close in time so that those who wish may go to the Oregon-O. A. C. basket ball game, are available at one dollar apiece £or students and one dollar and a half for others. The banquet will start sharply at 6:00 o’clock so as to be over in time for the game. ' Dean Erie W. Allen, of the school of journalism, will be toast master for the affair. (Continued on page four) Banker Will Discuss Problems of Trade “The Financing of Importing and Exporting,” is the subject of the address to be given by Christian Peterson, assistant cashier of the United States National bank of Portland, in charge of the foreign department, in Room 105 Commerce building at 4:15 this afternoon. “Carelessness is a great factor. It is surprising to see what some of our merchants will do in their relations with merchants in other countries,” says Mr. Peterson. “In my position at the bank I run across many situations that are recognized as terrible after atten tion is called to them.” His ad dress will include a recital of the common mistakes made by export ers in billing and collecting their shipments. He is interested in academic training that is given on the financial problems met in con ducting foreign transactions, anil through his position has had cloee contact with the men in the foreign trade field. In 1923 Mr. Peterson was initia ted into Pan Xenia, professional foreign trade fraternity on the cam pus, as an honorary member. This address is the second of a series of talks that are being sponsored by the fraternity, and another will be given April 6, by George Vinton, a merchant of Portland. College Students Average High in Army Alpha Intelligence Test Experiments Show Grades Can be Predicted From Ability Displayed in Mental Exams (Editor’s note: Following is the concluding number of a series of three articles on psychology tests in the University). By JANE DUDLEY College students rank in the up per five percent in intelligence rat ing, according to Mr. H. R. Taylor, assistant professor of psychology. They average around 135 points out of a possible 212 points in the Army Alpha test, which gives them a mental intelligence of 18 years. On the bajsis of the Army Alpha results, Mr. Taylor declares, the best estimate of the average Am erican intelligence, as shown by the traits tested, is equivalent to the performance of average 14-year olds in similar traits. The scoring according to mental age is on the Binet test. In this, scores of from 45 to 74 points in the Army Alpha tqst are equal to a mental age of from 13 to 14.9 years, according to Binet’s rating. The highest score possible in the Army Alpha test, 212 points is equal to a mental age of 19.5. years. “There have been numerous crit icisms of the Army Alpha test,” Mr. Taylor says, “among these critci sms, are statements that only the privates and non-commissioned of ficers were given the test, and therefore the results could not be typical of the average American. I believe that these results of the Army Alpha test are as near as wo can ever get to averaging American intelligence. The soldiers, officors and privates, who took the test, represented all work and profes sions, and all walks of life. “Our work in guidance is leaBt reliable and requires the most work,” Mr. Taylor states. “We have to assume that the college courses that prove our predictions of a student’s intelligence, are re liable and necessary ,and we must take the grades he makes as indi cative of his aptitude. “I figured out the probable suc (Continued on page two) Frosh Second Team Defeats Bend Quintet Hard Fought Game Results In 20-15 Score for Freshman Five In a hard fought but erratic bas ketball game the University of Ore gon freshman second team defeated the inexperienced B§nd high school five, 20 to 15. The game started with the usual rush, both teams fighting hard for the ball. The first year men scored first, when Muir dropped one through the net. Thacher scored first for the prep schoolers. For the freshman Muir was high-point man with eight points. Johnson and Tetz both played a good guarding game with Johnson going down for many shots. McKay, lanky center of the Bend quintet, led his team in scoring with seven points. Thacher at for ward played a good game. The shooting of the high school players was very erratic and they missed many easy shots. At the beginning of the fourth | quarter, Coach Leslie sent in his i first team. This five appeared to be over confident and cocky and expected to run over their less ex perienced opposition. Shortly af ter the opening of the quarter, Mc Kay dropped one through the hoop tying the score 15-^5. The yearlings then gave a poor exhibition of bas ketball and were only able to score five points.

Oregon to Meet Club Swimmers in Return Match Daily Practice Improves Varsity Style For Coming Event Multnomah Club swimming team will meet the varsity aquatic squad in a return contest in the pool in the Woman’s building tomorrow evening at 7:30. In the first meet with Multnomah in Portland two weeks ago, the varsity lost by a one-sided score. Since then, the team lost a close meet to the Ag gies and by the comparison of scores of the contests, has shown an increase in scoring power. Multnomah is strong in the sprints, with Lombard and Peter son entered in both the 40 yard dash and the 100 yard free style, as well as the relay. Don McCook, who was out of the last Multnomah meet on account of an infection, will be back for the sprints. Bob Boggs, who swam an excellent 40 yard dash and 100 yard free style in the O. A. C., meet will probably be making better time Saturday night. Oregon has shown supris ing strength in the 220 yard free style and the breast stroke where most of the power of the team will lie in the coming event. Probable entries for the meet: 40-yard dash—Multnomah: Lom bard and Peterson. Oregon: Larsen and Stone. 150-yard backstroke—Multnomah: Wallace and Sheappard. Oregon: Gardner and either Dixon or Finley. 220-yard free style—Multnomah: Horsfall and Bohoskey. Oregon: Boggs and Reid. 100-yard free 'style—Multnomah: Lombard and Peterson. Oregon: McCook. 200-yard breast stroke—Muhtyio mah: McNath. Oregon: MacGreg or, Fletcher or Sinclair. Dives—Multnomah: Hyde. Ore gon: Byerley, Riggs. 120-yard medley — Multnomah: Carpenter and Wallace., Oregon: McCook, Smith or Reid. Relay — Multnomah: Bohoskey, Horsfall, Lombard and Peterson. Oregon: Larsen, Stone, Riggs, Mc Cabe or Boggs. Stanford Will Give Entrance Tests Here Stanford University intelligence tests, which are an entrance re quirement at that school, will be given at the University high school today at 8:30 a. m. “This announcement may be of service to students who are plan ning to transfer from the Univer sity of Oregon to Stanford next fall. The school charges a five-dollar fee for taking the tests,” said Prof. H. R. Taylor of the psychology de partment! Another test will be given at Lincoln high school, Portland, at 8:30 a. m., February 27. ANNOUNCEMENT Pan Xenia announces the initia tion of Phil Bergh, Frank Walker,' and George Berezovsky. Euwer Wins Audience by Naturalness Poet - Humorist Adopts Tone of Bashful Coun try Boy with Ease Pigs, Goldfish and Cats Inspirations for Poems Works Suggested by Trip In France Included J^ECITING in a whimsical man ner, distinctly his own, Anthony Euwer, jovial and unaffected poet humorist, yesterday entertained a large audience at the assembly in the auditorium of the Woman’s building. Unanimous approval of Euwer *s sparkling humor, quaint descriptions of life and characters, and excellent recitative power was expressed by the bursts of laughter and applause which echoed time after time through the Woman’s building. Telling of his first contact with Oregon and the Hood River coun try which is the inspiration of many of h?s works, Euwer spoke of his trips here to visit his brother and the pangs of loneliness he felt for the Oregon country when he would return to his New York studio. In reciting, “The Soul of the Average Man,” Euwer seemed to live again the incidents he recalled in the poem. That Euwer has not forgotten how it feels to be a boy, was shown in the manner in which he gave “The Little Runt,” a humorous sketch of farm life in which he used the droll of a bashful country boy. Felines Likened to Humans Such things as pigs, goldfish and cats are the inspiration for this and other humorous bits written by Euwer. In a little rhyme Euwer makes an analogy of the feline an imals and the human race, thus: “Cats and humans are all the same, just sort of different in the name,” the reason that cats break the night stillness is because people won’t lipten to them in the day time, he said. Euwer is just as capable of pathos and the emotional as ho is of the humorous. “Man should bo judged not only by what ho pos sesses but by what he desires, tem poral, as well as spiritual,” Euwer explained. This idea wap brought out in “The Want Ad of My Soul,” one of his more serious poems. Poem Shows Tenderness “Kiddies of France,” one of Eu wer’s verses inspired by his ex periences “over there” when he spent six months in France and along the Rhine cheering the sol diers along, beppeaks the tender ness the American soldiers felt for the French children. Euwer also recited another of his war poems, which told of the time he “shook off the earthly dust 'and went hob nobbing with the birdsl” “Dry/ Mooly in Strawberry Time,” which was given by special request con cluded the program. W. F. G. Thacher, colleague of Mr. Euwer, introduced the disting uished speaker, and Dean John Straub presided at the assembly. Directly after the qbsembly Mr. Euwer was entertained at a lun cheon given at tho Anchorage by Pot and Quill and Tabard Inn, writers’ societies. Ho returned to his home in Portland in the after noon. Women’s Club Offers Student Loan Fund College women may secure indi vidual loans up to $50 from the Scholarship Loan Fund of the Mult nomah Chapter of the Daughters’ of the American Revolution, according to word received this morning at the Dean of Women’s office. The total sum set aside for loans was not, specified in the letter re ceived by Dean Virginia Epterly this morning from Mrs. Burton Beck, chairman of the Scholarship Loan Fund; but $50 is the maximum for any one loan. Application may be made through Dean Esterly’s office. UNIVERSITY O F NEVADA, Teb. 13.—One organization for ev ery 10 students is the record on the Nevada campus. A reeent survey shows a total of 82 organizations. The latest registration shows 773 students. Matrimonial Epidemic Hits Library Force JVHAT the University library is a matrimonial bureau or agency, M. H. Douglass, libra rian, still denies in spite of tho fact that seven members of the staff have married within the last year. Six of them since Augilst 1, 1925. A license was issued Monday at the Lano county court house to Alice Gardner, the seventh member, and Clarence Hoyt of Eugene. Mr. and Mrs. Hoyt are now taking a trip from which they expect to return in a week, when Mrs. Hoyt will resume her position as a clerk in tho period ical department of the library. Of the seven members of the library staff who have married, Mr. Douglass said that Harriet Hudson Iseninger and GladyB Platt Dalby were the only two who have left the force. Seating Plans Completed For Tonight’s Game Students Will Not .be Ad mitted Without Special Pink Tickets Final arrangements for handling what promises to be the biggest crowd in Oregon’s basketball his tory at tonight’s Oregon-O. A. C. game were completed yesterday by Ken Stophenson, who, with his staff of assistants, will have general charge when the Armory doors open at G o’clock. The Oregon Frosh play the Aggie Rooks at 7 o’clock, nnd the varsity game starts at 8:15. Students were warned by Sto phenson to have the special pink tickets, which can be secured at the Co-op, ready to show at the door, as admission will bo impossible without them. Oregon men and women will form separate lines at the main door. As no general ad mission tickets will be sold until after the game starts, students are assured of admission if they have tickets. The downstairs seats will be filled beforo the upstairs is opened, he announced. Stephenson appealed for student cooperation in handling the crowd. Ho requested that students remain out of the reserve sections, which likely will not fill up until the big game starts. Assisting Stephenson in general charge will be Ray Moeser, and Bob Mautz will be announcer at the door. The staff of managers follow: Dave Adolph, doors; Jimmie Johnson, special sections; Bert Nel son, ventilation; Stewart Ball, ush ering; Bob Overstreet, tickets’; Bob Gardner, stage. An interesting feature of the night’s events will be an Order of tho “O” initiation between halves of the big game. The Bend high school team, which played the frosh bore yesterday, will bo special guests. Wives of Newpaper Men to be Entertained Wives of the newspaper men at tending the conference being held hero this week-end will be enter tained at luncheon and tea today. Mrs. Virginia Judy Esterly and Miss Gertrude- K. Talbot will be joint hostesses at the noon-day lun cheon at Hendricks hall. The toa, to be given by Theta Sigma Phi, national honorary jour nalism fraternity for women, will be from .1:00 to 5:00 in Alumni hall of the Woman Is building, and all newspapermen’s wives are cordially invited. Besides the 10 active mem bers of the fraternity, Mrs. Eric W. Allen, Mrs. W. F. G. Thaclier, Mrs. Rfllph D. Casey, and Mrs. Rob ert C. Hall, wives of journalism professors, will be in the receiving line. Mrs. I.ynn S. McCready and Mrs. Floyd Westerfield, alumnae of the organization, will preside at the tea table the first hour, and Mrs. L. H. Johnson and Mrs. Clara Fitch will preside the second hour. A musical program has also been plan ned. Varsity Is Set For Aggies in Closing Game Oregon Five Out to Keep Perfect Record of V ictories Hobson Expected to Start in Spite of Fla Frosii, Rooks to Play Cur tain Raiser The lineups: Oregon vs. O. A. C Gunther.F. Hobson.F.. Dlwoky Okerberg.0. Pinkerton Westergren.o. Graap J°st.G.. Burr Officials: Referee, Bobby Morris, (Seattle); Umpire, Ray Brooks, (Portland). Time of game, 8:15. * * * QREGON’S championship five, a melody of synchronization, took its final workout last night in pre Howard Hobson paration for the* closing game of the 1926 schedule with the O. A. CL netsmitha at 8:15 tonight in the ar mory gym. The rooks and frosh will play a pre liminary affair starting at 7:00 o 'clock. Although the Webfooterg have the pennant cinched, and the Ag gies are on the toboggan, tonight's encounter is expected to produce stellar basketball. Oregon is out to maintain its perfect record, while the Aggies have hopes of re venging their defeat of last Satur day at Corvallis, which found many of the Beaver shots going awry—°* the spheroid failing to fit the hoop by the merest chance. Hobson May Start Captain Hobson, who has been confined in the infirmary during the past week with a touch of in fluenza, will be in uniform to night, but will probably be replaced by Edwardis or Kiminki before the session is over. This will be Hob son ’s last appearance on an Oregon court, and against an Aggie basket ball foe. Charley Jost, powerful Oregon guard, will again work on “Long Shot” Bill Burr. Last week Jost held his fellow townsman, who has been leading the O. A. C. scoring, to a lone field goal, and hopes to do even better tonight. Captain Loris Baker of O. A. C., the little man with the big legs, ha|s rung up seven long range goals in the last two games, so will be carefully watched by “Swede” Westergren. Gunther on Graap, Okerberg on Pinkerton, and Hobson on Diwoky will bo the other assignments. Game to be Hard Some sentiment has been ex pressed that the Oregonians, with the tension relieved by O. A. C.’s defeat at Seattle, will loosen np to night and regard the affair as a lark. This is far from true, as the Webfooters realize the ability of the Aggies and their own weakened condition with Hobson under the weather. Coach Reinhart empha tically states that the first Oregon man to try a long shot at the cost of team play will be jerked. Considerable interest has been attracted to the preliminary game! After twice losing to the frosh, the rooks came back last Saturday and won 31 to 29. As this was the first defeat the freshmen havo suffered, they have been putting in long hours of practice in preparation for tonight’s gamo, and will do everything to win. <J>-* Attention! | Will the following assistant j j managers meet today at the j I Armory at 1 o’clock. 1 Wade Newbegin, John Ow erts, Forest Wright, Ronald Me Creight, Burr Abner, Phillip Holmes, Ronald Christy, Jack Hoyt, Tom Montgomery, George Shade, Peter Ermler, Austin [ Sheppard, Marvin Davis, Bob Dutton, Ted Tetz, John Currie, Gordon Miller, Len Thompson, Allen Boyden, Vern Dale, Bay Jost.
