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.

For Banquet
jVEWSPAPERMEN from all parts
' of Oregon and parts of Califor
nia will meet today and tomorrow
on the campus for the annual con
ference of Oregon newspapermen.
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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
