VOLUME XXVIII
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY. OCTOBER 2, 1926
NUMBER 4
Square Mix
Promised By
Sophomores
Freshmen Will Parade
Before Superiors
This Morning
Tormentors to Take
Tribute from Frosh
Upper Classes Warned
To Keep Hands Off
<<T ET us not do today what we
l^can leave for tomorrow,”
said Les Johnson, chairman of the
frosh parade, as he pounded his fat
little fist upon the tidy desk of Bay
Nash early last evening. Les means
everything he says and wants it
known that every freshman and
every sophomore must meet at the
Sigma Chi corner at Thirteenth and
Alder streets promptly at 8 a. m.
today.
Today is the day that will burn
in the minds of the class of 30 for
many summers. This burning is not
limited to the mind either. Fresh
men must appear on the scene in
the proper togs and must bring
with them a dime and a package of
cigarettes.
The sophomores wm taac
of the frosh and will see to it that
every member of the class is pres
ent. Frosh in living organizations
will be marched to the meeting place
in order. Those living outside must
not feel that they are excused from
the parade. Death will be the only
excuse acceptable .and the fresh
man must show his death certificate
to get by with that. Tardy frosh
will be properly punished by a meth
od not yet decided but guaranteed
not to be pleasant.
UTi-r to be Square
The parade will start as soon as
all the frosh have assembled, and
from that time on, the frosh babes
will be expected to “get hot,” and
keep moving. The “O” on Skin
ner’s butte will receive its tradi
tional coat of paint and then the
fun begins. From the butte fresh
men will be marched back to the
campus and to Hayward field where
the big mix will be held.
It is generally known that this
is to be the first really square mix.
The judges will show no favoritism
and upper classmen are asked to
keep their hands off. The chairman
of the mix in his annual sermon to
the judges says:
“Brothers, you are about to wit
ness an annual struggle, a struggle
mighty in content and one equalling
gladiator’s contests of old in feroc
ity. Gaze with unimpassioned eyes
upon the goodly and nobly propor
tioned phvsical specimens represent
ing the class of 1930, and likewise
upon the sneers of contempt and
evidences of evil on these great
countenances which will strive to
uphold the honor of this emblem,
1929. Let neither of these sights
prejudice your decisions on the out
come of this righteously fair, square
and above board mix.” From this it
may be seen that every effort is to
be made to make this a square mix.
Program for Mix
There will be no programs for the
mix other than this outline. The
events as they will take place this
morning at 10 o’clock follow:
1. Senior Cop Parade. Frosh, ad
dress your highest superiors by the
title, “Sir Senior.”
2. Cane Kush—50 men vs. 50 boys
5 points. Any freshman not appear
ing in a plug hat and kid gloves tc
match the cane awaits dire punish
ment.
3. Push Ball—100 pushees each
* 5 points. The first freshman tram
pled to death will be automatically
made a sophomore.
4. Tilting contest—10 knights
and 10 steeds each, 10 points. Tilt,
and the crowd tilts with you, fall
and you fall alone.
5. Flag Kush—150 victims each,
25 points.

Seeded Players
Survive Initial
Tennis Rounds
Rain Halts Feature Play;
7 Sets to be Run Off
This Morning
Rain halted Thursday’s play in
the annual fall intra-mural tennis
tournament but several matches
were 'completed in spite of the in
clement weather. None of the seed
ed players has yet been eliminated.
Clare Hartman was victorious over
Hall in straight sets, 6-4, 6-1. Hall
put up unexpectedly strong opposi
tion in the first set but soon suc
cumbed to Hartman’s steadier driv
ing. Jack Kaplan won over Mitchell
in a match that was featured by
hard driving and sharp volleying
Jack’s playing was exceptional anc
showed that he will be a valuable
addition to the freshman squad nexl
spring.
Harry Coffin had little opposi
tion from Denel whom he easily de
feated, 6-2, 6-1. Charles Burton
came through in the same easy fash
ion with a win from Overhulse
6-0, 6-2. Bill Powell showed vast im
provement over his game of las
year when he defeated Gamboa, 6-2
6-1.
Match Exciting
After Mel Cohn and Hal Hutchin
son had each received a default
from their respective opponents,
they engaged in a battle which
proved to be the feature match of
the day. Both players were rushing
the net at every opportunity, and
the accurate placements of Hutchin
son were only matched by the tactics
of Mel Cohn. When each had won
a set and the score of the deciding
set stood at one-all, rain halted the
match and it was postponed to Fri
day. The rest evidently aided
Hutchinson for he took the deciding
set in easy fashion, 6-1.
Other results follow: Mead de
feated Webb, 6-2, 6-1. White defeat
ed Meyers, 6-1, 6-0. Lee defaulted
to Edge. Nooe defeated Johnson,
S-6, 6-4, 6-3.

ment of all other matches to Satur

Inauguration
May Be Held
In Open Air
Change Would Enable
Student Body to See
Ceremonies
Present Plans Exclude
Campus Attendance
Ceremonies May be Held
On Hayward Field
APBOPOSAL to hold the inaug
ural of Dr. Arnold Bennet Hall,
president of the University, in the
east grandstand at Hayward field
instead of in the Woman’s building,
is being considered by the Semi-Cen
tennial committee, according to
James H. Gilbert, chairman, weath
er permitting.
The program now calls for the
inauguration to be held in the Wom
an ’s building at 10 a. m. on Octo
ber 18. Admission wfill be by ticket
only. Dr. Clarence Cooki| Little,
president of the University of Mich
igan, will deliver an address on
“Opportunity and the Individual.”
This will be followed by the inaug
ural address by Dr. Hall.
Students May be Barred
Under the’ present plans, in all
probability, students will not be al
lowed to attend the inaugural be
cause of lack of room. Enough
guests and others will be here to
take all the seats available in the
Woman’s building auditorium which
is the largest on the campus, the
committee explained. '
By changing the location to the
grandstand, there would be room
for students. The aceoustics in the
grandstand have been tested and
found to be very good, according to
the chairman.
Committee Asks Co-operation
Students will co-operate in the
inaugural as well as all other semi
centennial events of the week. The
semi-centennial committee feels that
many students would be interested
in the inaugural and that plans
should be arranged so that, they
could attend, according to the com
mittee.
Students to Advertise
S emi-Centennial
By Radio Address
Four Oregon students will give
radio addresses in Portland, invit
ing citizens of Oregon all over tho
state to the Semi-Centennial cele
bration to be held here October 18
to 23, inclusive. The University’s
general growth and development
during the fifty-year life will be
stressed, as well as its possibilities
and plans for the future.
The speakers who have been
chosen are Dudley Clark, chairman
of the student’s Greater Oregon
committee; Jack Hempstead, a mem
ber of the committee; H. E. Rosson,
professor of law, who is managing
the faculty Greater Oregon commit
tee; and. Benoit McCroskey, a mem
ber of the debate team.
The first of the addresses in Port
land will be on Monday, October 4,
station KOIN, at 7:40. The second
will be given Wednesday, October
6, station KTBR, at nine-thirty. At
seven o’clock on October 7 the last
one will be broadcast.
President Meets
Class Informally
President and Mrs. Hall met the
members of the freshman class at
a tea given yesterday afternoon in
Alumni hall. The affair was given
so that the new president and his
wife could meet the new students
informally.
During the afternoon a musical
program, under the supervision of
Olga Jackson, was given, including
violin numbers by Gwendolyn Hay
den and Nina Warnock. Vocal solos
by Leota Biggs, and piano solos by
Myra Belle Palmer and Olga Jack
son completed the program.
Refreshments of ice cream and
: wafers were served in the sun par
j lor by members of KwTama, sopho
more women’s honorary organiza
tion.
“The reception was a great suc
cess, with even more freshmen turn
ing out than were expected,” said
Kathryn Ulrich, president of the
Women’s League. “Everyone co
operated splendidly to make it en
oyable.”
In the receiving line were Dean
Virginia Judy Esterly, President
and Mrs. Hall, Hugh Biggs, Kath
ryn Ulrich, Catherine Struplers
Beatrice Peters, Myrtle Mast, and
I Esther Hardy.
Phi Beta Fraternity
House to Have Rival
IN every group of people which
includes the so-called intelli
gencia class there is an imagin
ary hall of fame erected on a
seeming fanciful hill. The stu- ]
•dents in this great University of
Oregon have some members who
either in their own eyes or in
the influenced minds of friends
are placed in the category of cel- f
ebrity or notoriety. Heretofore
this building, in which our re
nowned Sir Robert Mautz has had
permanent residence with other
cohorts, has been a tradition soon
forgotten. Within a very few
weeks this palacial mansion will
be erected with the foundation
of letters and the building con
struction of hieroglyphics.
Wouldn’t you like to see your *
friends or, if you are more op- 1
timistic than we are, yourself— 1
using the hall of blame as your 1
domicile which will be run sim- ‘
ilar to the Phi Beta Kappa frat 1
house? In the Webfoot there will 1
appear pictures of deserving per
sons in this section, the hall of '
flame—GET HOT FOLKS.
4Yell King” Plans i
Rooter’s Club
As New Feature
Organization Includes i
About 400 Men, Says ‘
Seabrook i
Yell King Jack Seabrook yester- 1
clay announced his plans for the 1
football season, introducing several 1
new twists to the
vocation of root
ing, including
plans for a Root
er’s club, the re
vival of the Ore
gon chant, and a
more effective
handling of the
card stunt.
“I plan to or
ganize a club of
about 400 men,”
stated Seabrook,
‘and to use this Jack seabrook
jroup as the nuc
eus of the rooting section. It will
le these men that will take part in
;he card stunt and who will bear
he brunt of the yelling. The ‘400’
will have reserved seats at every
oig game, including the Washington,
Stanford, and O. A. C. games, in
the middle of the grandstand.”
The first membership in the pro
posed rooting club will be deter
mined by the turnout at the first
card stunt practice sometime in the
middle of next week—“First come,
first served.”
The card stunt, which was re
vived last year with not such out
standing success, will be greatly
simplified this year as concerns the
participant, but will appear great
ly more complicated and effective
to the onlooker. Seabrook believes
that only one practice will be nec
essary if a large number turn' out.
This practice will also take the
nature of an impromptu send-off for
Coach McEwan as the team will
practice secretly all next week ex
cept for the one day that the card
practice is held.
Yell King Seabrook also announc
ed the tryouts for yell assistant,
which will be held today on Hay
ward field during the game with Pa
cific university. All aspirants for
positions on the yell staff are re
quested to report on the track in
front of the grandstand at 13:15 p.
m., dressed in white, if possible.
Also, all Oregon rooters should oc
cupy the west grandstand—the old
one—so that the tryouts may be car
ried out effectively.
World Series Returns
To be Shown at Y Hut
Play by play returns from the
ivorld series baseball games between
the St. Louis Cardinals and the New
York Yankees will be received by
radio at the campus Y. M. C. A. hut,
H. W. Davis, director of the United
Christian work on the campus, an
nounced.
A miniature diamond has been
erected in the hut, and, as the re
turns are received from radio KGW,
they will be depicted on it. The
first game will be played Saturday,
October 2, and one will be played
every succeeding day until the end
of the series, with the exception of
Sunday.
Returns start coming in at 11:30
a. m.» and will continue until 1
o’clock. Students and faculty of
the University are welcome to hear
the returns.
Open House
To Commence
At 7:00 Sharp
Men Requested to Follow
Schedule to Avoid
Confusion
Ten Minutes Allowed
At Each of 22 Houses
Three Arts Club Listed
This Year
AFTER a striking and warm in
troduction to the traditions of
the University this morning, fresh
men will be dressed *up and their
hair combed by their upperclass
brothers tonight and will be intro- J
dueed to the social life of the col
lege by means of another ancient
and honored tradition—open house.
Open house begins this evening at
7 o ’cloek when the men’s organiza
tions start their tour according to j
the route schedule worked out by (
the women’s committee. (
A ten minute period will be a!- (
lowed at each of the 22 women’s ]
houses for introductions and danc- i
ing.
Success Depends on Men (
“The success of the affair,” em- ,
phasized Kathryn Ulrich, chair- .
man of the women’s committee, 1
“depends upon the men keeping on {
schedule time. Each group should ]
leave at the expiration of their time 1
allowance and proceed to the next (
house on their schedule, even though 1
no other organization has arrived
to take their place.” (
The routing schedule was arrang- 1
ed by a committee consisting of ]
Kathryn Ulrich, Frances Morgan, I
Anne Runes, Dean Virginia Judy
Esterly, and Georgia Benson. Lost i
time in the retracing of steps has I
been reduced to the minimum by '
the schedule, stated the committee .
head.
Girls to be at Kappa Sigma ]
Chi Omega will be hostesses at
Kappa Sigma house, as their new
home at Fifteenth and Alder is yet i
uncompleted. Thacher cottage, in
stead of being combined with Hen- i
dricks hall, will receive at its own
home at 1370 Onyx street. Three
Arts club, girls ’ residence at Four
teenth and University streets, is
also on the program of the evening.
These are the only irregularities
from the usual procedure of tho af
fair.
Besides the fraternity groups and
the men’s Oregon club, a separate
group of independent students will
make the rounds on the schedule.
Frosh Gridclers
Schedule Game
For October 9
Medford High School
Clash Planned; Two
Teams Formed
During the past week about 100
aspirants for the freshman football
team turned out nightly and from
a wealth of material a squad is be
ing picked that will come up to any
yearling team of the past, Coach
Reinhart believes.
There seems to be a great abun
dance of baekfield material but most
of the men are light. At this early
stage it looks like a fairly heavy
line with a light shifty baekfield.
The coaching end is being cared
for by Bill Reinhart, head coach,
Baz Williams, line coach, Jack Bliss,
end coach, and Dave Evans, baek
field coach. These four men have a
big task in picking a first squad as
the battles waged for the various
positions are, in most cases, close.
According to Reinhart, it will be
almost impossible to pick a first
team, and he is planning to select
two teams using them as the first
squad.
A tentative game has been ar
ranged with Medford high school
for October 9 at Medford, and if
the present plans are completed,
only one week remains in which to
get the team in shape for one of
the biggest seasons ever participat
ed in by Oregon yearlings. After
the Medford game contests are
scheduled with the Chemawa In
dians, Columbia University, Wash
ington freshmen, Eugene high school,
and the little “big game” with the
rooks from O. A. C. During the
coming week scrimmage with the
varsity will take place and the
coaches will be able to get a better
line on the men.
So far no real heavy work has
been attempted and blocking and

Tickets Are Needed
To See Game Today
LL “One-Eyed Connolly’s”
and similar gate-crashers
are doomed to dismal failure.
So says the high mogul at Jack
Benefiel’s office.
When .you go up to the ticket
taker at the Pacific game today
with the plea that you forgot
your yellow ticket, the better
thing to do would be hike home
and get it.
No one will be admitted to the
squabble today without a ticket
of some sort, so come prepared.

By HAROLD MANGUM
Sports Editor
AN old maxim in grid annals is
the famous line' “Stagg-fears
Purdue.” We offer one of our own,
“McEwan fears Pacific.” A week
ago this little word triplet would be
greeted with derision; today it is
particularly apt. A week ago Ore
gon swamped Willamette beneath an
avalanche of touchdowns and the
dawn of a new era was acclaimed.
After a week of cogitation and
frantic efforts to strengthen some
very evident weak spots, the
coaches have decided that the Pa
cific University Badgers with their
fast and shifty lineup, their fine
pass receivers, their full bag^ of
tricks, and their veteran team are
worthy foes and perfectly likely to
spring the unexpected. The Pacific
lino is heavy in spots and the backs
and ends, as disclosed in theik
workout yesterday, start and stop
like renl football players, and in
general the entire outfit behaves
like gridsters ought to behave.
Mr. Emerson and Mr. Tucker
Pacific will present a formidable
array at 2:30 today that ought to
go far in the Northwest conference.
On ends will be Ingles and Pollock,
familiar faces, and Captain Horn
and Ike Rannow, the southpaw
pitcher, will be at tackles. Both are
effective. Bryant will be back as
center, but the guard assignments
are uncertain. Irvin and Baker,
huskios from last year, are good
bets.
As usual, an Emerson and a Tuck
er will bo included in the Badger
backfield. These two families have
figured prominently in Pacific grid
annals, and it is a rare Red and
Black sports combination that does
n’t include at least one representa
tive of each clan. This year’s dele
gates are Mel Emerson, a clever
quarterback, and Ira Tucker, a big
fullback. Frost, who started at
quarter against Oregon last year,
j will be at one-half back' position,
| with Bennett, a 1925 sub, at the
i other. Tucker is the only back with
j weight enough to gain consistently
I against the Oregon forwards, and
!t,ie others must depend upon elud
ing the Webfoot wingmen for gains,
j As McEwan has four good sets of
j ends, this latter alternative mav
|prove educational.

Prize Fine Haired Dog Is Pet
Of New English Department Head
English Seller’s Fine Points Shown by Clipping of
Burrs, Thanks to Oregon Air
You can’t keep a good dog down.,
Although it was necessary to clip
his hair in order to remove the
burrs he had received at a training
camp where he was being taught!
the art of a bird dog, “Squire,”
an English setter owned by Dr. C.
V. Boyer, head of the English de
partment, walked away with honors
when he took three blue and one
green ribbon at the recent dog( show
sponsored by the Eugene Kennel
club.
It seems that Dr. Boyer has a
particular fascination for dogs and
at the University of Illinois where
he was professor of English, a cur
dog decided the Boyer home would
be a line one and thereby became
a member of tho family. He was
duly christened “Tramp” and in a
short time stepped into the position
of a campus celebrity and a priv
ileged character. When he died
last February at the age of fourteen
years, the “Illini,” University of
Illinois newspaper, carried a notiee
of his death and in givjing the
cause said that “Tramp” had heard
of Dr. Boyer’s intention of going
to Oregon and had passed away of
broken heart.
Immediately after “Tramp’*"’
death, a friend of Dr. Boyer’s in
Pittsburgh sent him “Squire” for °
consolation. “Squire” had been in
a dog hospital for six months but
regained his health quickly, and in
the Oregon climate proved that he
didn't have a pedigree dating back
to Adam for nothing.
Which all goes to show “clothes
don’t make the man” for “Squire’"
wai judged on the basis of his phys
ical contours rather than sleekness.
It is “Squire’s” desire, says Dr.
Boyer, to make friends with the
freshman class and become acquaint
ed with them individually.
