McEwan Putting Squad
In Shape for Badgers
On Saturday
“Live Tackles” Used to
Train Runners
_
Spectators admitted to Hayward
field on visitor’s day Wednesday saw
Captain McEwan drive his regulars
and subs through an afternoon of
gruelling practice which ended in
one of the toughest scrimmages on
record this season.
Another strenuous workout this
afternoon and McEwan will have
his grid warriors on a fighting edge
for the Pacific contest Saturday.
After the Willamette melee last
week, the Badger game can be re
garded as a practice tilt. Oregon will
no doubt roll up another string of
touchdowns, but the contest will
serve to iron out the wrinkles and
polish off the rough edges for the
big game against the Huskies on
October 9. This hurdle looms as the
acid test of whether Oregon will
take a place on a level with other
colleges in the conference.
Jones Doing Kicking
There may be no rest for the
wicked, but there is less for a foot
ball player, as Gene Vidal, Ellinger
and “Spike” Leslie hammered the
backs and linesmen through an un
relenting period of practice. Mautz
kept his ends busy catching passes.
Wetzel, Jones, and Fred Harrison
vied with one another in kicking
practice. The punting of the three
backs was fairly consistent and av
eraged over 40 yards. The forward
pass is not being neglected by
Vidal and Mautz. Woodie and Mim
naugh doing the throwing, and the
backs, Wetzel, Vitus, Jones, and
Burnell, alternating with the wing
men, Sherm Smith, Slauson, Pope,
Greer, Jamison, Biggs, and Hughes,
grabbing the pigskin out of the air,
are becoming proficient in the aerial
phase of the game.
“Live Tackles” Used
Under the leadership of Ellinger
the entire squad went through a
brisk series of calethetics, and that
not sufficing, they circled the grid
iron at a fast pace. “Live tackl
ing,” with backs carrying the ball
attempting to evade tackJers ar
ranged across tho field in rows, su
perceded the dangling canvas dum
mies.
Coach McEwan has made no an
nouncement of a starting line-up
Tryouts for Glee Club

There will be a continuation
of yesterday’s try-outs for mem
bership in the men’s and women’s

4:30 to 6:00 o’clock in the school
of music building. All girls who

than ever before, according to
Bex Underwood, director, but
there is more material of ability
on the campus that has not yet
reported, especially among those
who play the stringed instru
ments.
against Pacific university, but it
will probably bo approximately the
same that over-ran Willamette last
week, with a few substitutions
made.
Open House Schedule
Ready at Dean’s Office
A representative from each men’s
house should call at the Dean of
Women’s office today to get their
schedule for open house, is announc
ed by Kathryn Ulrich, president of
| Women’s league. The committee has
I been working on the program for
several days.
All houses will receive in their
usual places except Chi Omegas who
will occupy the Kappa Sigma house.
Law School Majors
Increased This Year
Registration in the law school
shows an increase of 38 per cent
this year. Thirty-six law majors
were signed up this term.
Dean W. G. Hale says there is a
very marked tendency to prolong
the period of preparation for the
law school. The department en
courages this tendency, as the wider
background of general knowledge
promotes the possibilities for great
er future success in the field of law.

The new Oregon system, originat
ed last year by J. Stanley Gray, j
and tried out in the TJtah-Oregon
debate, will be used by Oregon var- ;
sity debaters throughout. The in- j
dividual characteristic of this sys- I
tem is that it allows to each side !
the privilege of firing short decisive
questions at the other side.
On January 20 there will be a dual
debate with Stanford, and Septem
