VOLUME XXVIII UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1926 NUMBER 5 Oregon Ys. Washington Ballyhoo for Big Contest In Full Swing; Press Boosted as Important Adjunct to Football O ’By HAKOLD MANGUM What is the most important ap pendage to a? football team? It is a moot question. The coach has rea son to believe he is indispensable. The trainer thinks he is essential; the manager believes that the team would go to rack and ruin without him, and the yelling sections are firmly convinced that it is they that furnish the necessary impetus that sends the eleven on to victory. • * * It is a question with which we do not intend to worry, as we have a candidate of our own—the humble medium through which we reach the great and gullible public—the news paper. Some teams have coached themselves; many have trained themselves; a great many exist with out managerial services; and many a fighting team has clawed its way to victory far from the encouraging plaudits of a familiar rooting sec tion. i But who ever heard of a team sneaking away in the quiet of night and meeting the representatives of a rival institution behind closed gates, without notice in the press? Why are great stadiums built, and long trips undertaken? Why, to en tertain the crowds that follow the newspapers very carefully to glean every bit of knowledge they can concerning their favorites. A present day team could not ex ist without a journal to record its goings and comings, to jot down the histories and dimensions of 40 or 50 men wearing the college col ors, to mention carefully the minut est detail of a sore thumb or a stubbed toe. Why? Because no one would attend the games, otherwise. There would be no big stadiums, no huge crowds, no high-salaried coach es, no well-organized corps of man agers, manager’s assistants, and other hangers on of the grid camp. It takes publicity to make the world go round. * * * Which brings us to the subject of ballyhoo. Never in sports history in the Northwest has a feature been as well-advertised as the .coming Oregon-Washington football game in Portland next Saturday. From the time the game was signed last winter, a coterie of skilled publicity men has been moving every rock and turning every stone to ^make the event the biggest ever. The plans for the new Multnomah civic stadium were launched, not entirely for this game, of course, but it was one of the motivating forces; a mammoth drive was staged for funds and brought to a successful conclusion; University Week .was • outlined and is now under way in Portland; reams of copy were writ ten, hundreds of posters were de signed and printed; dozens of pic tures were taken and broadcast freely about the country; every item was taken care of, and the great .event is now at hand. The stage is set, the programs printed, the • ushers hired, the press notices written, the bouquets ready for presentation—all that remains is the arrival of the actors. It is getting so that the game itself is dwarfed—so that the fray is lost sight of in all the shouting and blaring of trumpets, all the gigan tic rallies, and the stage settings, Gone are the days when rival teams tangled in backlots, and the papers knew nothing at all of what' hap peued. Mrs. L. S. McDonald Visiting Old Friendi Lucile Saunders McDonald, ex student in the University of Oregoi school of journalism, who has beer engaged in newspaper work in Cor dova, Alaska, for two years and wh< brings with her many tales of in terest, was a visitor on the campu over the week-end. Mrs. McDonald is widely experi enced in the field of journalism, hav Ing worked for six years on th Morning Oregonian, for sometime 01 several small papers, and also i] South America. While a student on the campu Mrs. McDonald was active in Em erald work, being managing edito for a while and a member of Thet Sigma Phi. She is a sister of Iri Saunders, juniqr in music, who als made a trip to Alaska this summe: Chi Psi Lodge Robbed During Open House WHILE the members of the Chi Psi lodge were attend ing open house on the University of Oregon campus Saturday night, a thief of unknown iden tity entered the unlocked house and breaking into a strong box in a second story room took from $50 to $60 in cash. The theft w*as discovered about 11 o’clock when one of tire men returning to the fraternity house which is situated at 1018 Hilyard street,, went into the house and found clothes, desk and bureau drawers topsy turvy and the strong box pried open. The thief evidently was after nothing but money, because clothes, several watches and other valuable articles were left. When the last two men left the house about nine o’clock no lights were left" in the house but at the time of the discovery two lights in second story rooms were on. Only the four rooms on that Aoot had seemingly been molested. No clues leading to the discov ery of the thief have been found. The money belonged to Fletcher Udall., Big Practice For Wednesday Says “Yell King” Best Seats to be Held For Favored 400 With Cards The only practice on the card stunt is tomorrow at 4 o’clock in the new grandstand on Hayward field, under the direction of Jack Seabrook, yell king. Wednesday, being the only day the field is open to the student body at large, there can only be one practice, so it is important that all of the “400” rooters turn out, Seabrook said. Participants in this stunt will have the best seats in the entire rooting section at the Washington game this Saturday as well as at the Stanford and O. A. C. games. The lucky 400 will be seated in reserved seats in a specially constructed sec tion—20 rows high, and 20 seats across—extending nine rows higher than the rest of the rooting section. “Every man of the 400 that wants to be in the stunt must turn out on Wednesday,” said Seabrook, “as this will "be the only time we can get together, before the big game in Portland.” All those out tomorrow will be issued cards entitling them to seats in the special rooting section. Those who already have other tickets can make ad exchange. IVew Instructor is Impressed with West J. H. Mueller, assistant professor in sociology, who joined the Oregon faculty, has recently come from the University of Missouri where he taught sociology and was also di rector of the girls’ glee club for three years. Previous to teaching in Missouri he taught in the Uni versity of Chicago. Mr. Mueller took his academic work in Montpelier, Prance, and in Missouri, and his musical education in St. Louis and in Prance. He is a member of the Phi Beta Kappa, Phi Delta Kappa, Phi Mu Alpha and several sociological associations which are not represented on the campus. “The mountains around Eugene remind me of the Vosges mountains in Prance, and the French Alps,” said Mr. Mueller. This is the first time he has been west of Denver and seems to be much impressed with his surroundings.

College Rally In Portland Friday Is Set Special Train t o Carry Rooters to Game On Saturday Presidents Hall and Suzzalo to Take Part Dedication of Multnomah Stadium Precedes Game A BALLY pep-assembly in Port land Friday night, and a double rally parade with University of Ore gon and Washington students, Sat urday at noon, are features attend ing the annual grid battle with the Huskies this week-end. A special train has been charter ed to carry 2000 Oregon rooters to Portland Friday afternoon at 3:1? o’clock. The special will leave in front of Villard hall, via Southern Pacific. It will arrive at the Union station in Portland at 7 p. m., from whence the Oregon rooters will stage a rally through the business section of the city.

Freshman Doubts It «<T DIDN’T know cups were -t-awarded here for intra mural sports,” protested a frosh eyeing the brilliant array of cups on the mantel in the Kappa Sig ma mansion taken over for the evening by the homeless Chi O’s. “Why these girls don’t look to me like athletes.” “We’re not athletes, I’ll have you to understand,” tartly re plied the girl with whom he was dancing. “Why then, all these cups?” and even her explanatory gestures at the Kappa Sigma crest failed to make the freshman under stand. “Now am I holding my arm in the right position.” or “did I take that step as I should or do you think this way would be better?” “Can you tell me, is there a dancing school in this town?” “Yes!” replied his partner^ somewhat angrily and then di recting him to a well known 'Em erald advertiser. “Well, you know, I think I will take some lessons in dancing. I even think dancing is more im portant here than swimming.” After the views of many are collected and compared, it was found that the general impres sion of open house is of fatigue. However, it is agreed that no matter how tiresome it may be, it yet serves a purpose as it gives the student a chance to get a panorama of the entire campus. McEwan Makes Shift in Line-up For Scrimmage Jones and Woodie on First String; Injuries Prove Slight As a penance for the showing made against Pacific university last Saturday, Coach J. J. McEwan hammered the varsity and stfbs through signal and passing 'prac tice with hardly a halt for breath yesterday afternoon. At the most, there are only three more days of practice for him to mould the lemon-yellow gridsters into a formidable threat againkt (Continued on page fow) The Freshman Parade As Tradition Paints It Paddles cracked, and frosh jumped about and yelled, at the annual parade, Saturday morning. Both classes had been anticipating the gory battle for the past week, though it was looked upon from two different angles. Due to the fine technique of the sophomores there were very few casualities, and the graveyard now holds no more than it did the day before the fight. The frosh met their hosts at the Sigma Chi corner promptly at eight, and after the roll had been taken they marched in order to Skinners butte. Here it was found, much to the surprise of the sophs, that, some of the miserable babes of ’30 had shamelessly smeared the “O” .with green paint, and, to add bo the hor ror of the situation, had placed their numerals at the bottom. This, of course, in years past has been placed in the same column as mur der, but the kindly sophs did not enact the death penalty but let the vearlings off after they had scrubbed the blessed symbol of the. school. Yellow paint was the next thing on the program. This was served in beautiful tin buckets. But again the lowly frosh proved their ignor ance by pitching into the paint with tooth and nail, the result being that they got more paint on their own miserable carcasses than they did on the beloved character. Prom the butte the frosh were marched back to the campus. Many of the babes tried to drop out along the way and do a little ‘pigging,’ but they were promptly disciplined and sent on their way by a few friendly taps from their superiors. They were compelled to kiss the seal. Here one or two frosh were flattened out, but were quickly re . vived by the gentle sophomores and i after the application of several pad . die poultices • completely recovered and proceeded. ! Four frosh tried their luck at l singing and managed to murder (Continued on page four) As It Actually Is Men who entered the Uni versity as freshmen this fall, were smeared with paint, beaten with w'ooden paddles, run until exhaust ed, and then forced into a ‘pole rush, ’ a collegiate term for a gang fi,ht, Saturday. One freshman’s nose was broken, one student was sent to the infirm ary with a cold contracted at the parade and mix, and at least seven others reported at the dispensary for treatment to bruises and cuts. None fortunately, were seriously in jured. The parade started at the Sigma Chi corner. The boys were taken to the bottom of Skinners butte, having been paddled intermittently along the route. Any freshman who, when asked, did not have cig arettes to give sophomores or up per classmen, was paddled. At the foot of the butte, two men took a dime from each marcher. After climbing the butte, the frosh were forced to paint the large “O” with their paint-smeared hands, daub their faces, slide down the “O,” and then go down the hill where they ran a gauntlet of sopho more men, who used wooden paddles as weapons. After the pajade through the business part of Eugene, the boys were forced to crawl on their hands and knees, kiss the Oregon seal, and then again run the gaunt let. The remaining events were held at Hayward field. A pole rush and nushbali contest were the main features. It was in these events that most of the men were hurt. The sopho mores, of course, won. It was necessary for the freshmen to fight their way toward the pole and take down the flag. The sopho mores attempted to keep them frorr so doing. A fight was, of course the result. All these events were a part oi the general reception accorded first year men. Y. W. Starts Canvass For Membership Campaign Will be Made By Representative Committee Only Those Interested In Work Asked to Join Non-Organization ;G i r I s To Sign at Bungalow Beginning this morning at eight o’clock, a specially chosen membership committee will canvass the campus to enlist new members into the Y. W. C. A. At a meeting of the committee members last night at the “Y” bungalow the plan of procedure was discussed. It was de cided that representatives of each living organization solicit members during this week. “We are not going out for 100 per cent membership this year,” Miss Florence Mcgowan, general secre tary, said. “We do not wish our endeavor in this line to be classed as a ‘ drive, ’ as it has been called in past years. We want only those to join who see value in the Y. W. C. A. The new girls should not rush into the thing unthinkingly, or be forced in if they do not care to join. We would like members who believe in the aims and standards of the association, and are in sympathy with the work.” Four Year Membership Granted It is necessary to sign up for membership only once during the four years of college, so only new women on the campus will sign the blue membership cards which will be distributed. The following girls will represent the various living organizations on the campus: Alpha Chi Omega, Katherine Delanty; Alpha Delta Pi, Dorothy Straughn; Alpha Gamma Delta, Mizelle Bollwage; Alpha Om icron Pi, Buth Hansen; Alpha Phi, Dorothy Munsell; Alpha Xi Delta, Frances Shroeder; Chi Omega, Nan cy Peterson; Delta Delta Delta, Margaret Nugent; Delta Gamma, Virginia Dorcas; Delta Zeta, Anita Williams; Gamma Phi Beta, Vir ginia Bailey; Kappa Alpha Theta, Betty Higgins; Kappa Kappa Gam ma, Una Eldridge; Pi Beta Phi, Helen Smith; Kappa Omicron, Flos sie Badabaugh; Sigma Beta Phi, Marian Shepherd; Tau Nu, Ethel Montgomery; Hendricks hall, Thel ma Perozzi; Susan Campbell hall, Helen Jean Holt; Timelier cottage, Buby Bussell; Oregon club, Mary Benson. Girls Urged to Sign Up On account of the difficulty of reaching the girls ,n'ot connected with organizations, the committee urges that those interested go to the “Y” bungalow and sign for mem bership.

Fix Practice Times, Donut Teams Advised Schedule for Practice Of House Hoopsters Nearly Filled With eight donut basketball teams already assigned practice hours a few open dates remain. No teams have signified their de sire to practice next Friday or Sat urday afternoons, and, as it is a case of first come—first served, managers may sign up for these times. It is possible that two quintets can practice together at the same time, thus making it possible to put on practice games and get a line on the other team. The schedule of hours as signed for already follows: Saturday, October 2, 1 to 2: Kap pa Sigma; 4 to 5, Theta Chi; 5 to 6, Bowery boys, Lambda Psi. Monday, October 4: 4 to 5, Friend, ly hall; 5 to 6, Theta Chi. Tuesday, October 5: 4 to 5, Kappa Sigma; 5 to 6, Delta Tau Delta. Wednesday, October 6: 4 to 5, Friendly hall; 5 to 6, Bowery boys. Thursday, October 7: 4 to 5, Beta Theta Pi; 5 to 6, Delta Tau Delta. Friday, October 8: Open date. Saturday, October 9: Open date.

Managers of Donut Teams Urged to be At Men’s Gym Today Any organized house or outside group that is planning fto tenter teams in any of the intra-mural sports, whether it be. basketball, swimming, handball or cross-country is urged to have a responsible man at the meeting which will be held at the Men’s gym today at 4:15 p. m. Last year several “gangs” with or without names entered the race and gave campus tongs some stiff fights before being eliminated. About ten quintets have signed up for practice dates, among them being the Bowery boys, an unaffiliat ed group, who made a good showing in 1925. Eligibility requirements furnish many kinks that must be ironed out before a man can compete.0 Anyone who has played on a frosh° or var sity team in inter-collegiate com petition cannot play. This will make the teams more evenly matched. After the schedules have been made out no additional entries have the privilege of entering. A man taking physical education for credit can substitute practice or game for his regular attendan-e. As a sort of temper for all this and more a final clause appears at the end of the list stating that any changes can be made through the consent of the majority of man agers. Complete copies of the rules and regulations are being sent out and additional copies can be had at the Men’s gym. Alton Gabriel Elected Member Mazama Club \ _ Mountain goats will have to look to their laurels as Alton Gabriel, graduate assistant in chemistry, is in a position to give them competi tion.

Campaign For New Magazine Starts Today Rolf Klep, Editor of Webfoot, Promises Clever Edition Committee of Fifteen Will Talk to Groups Goal of Workers is 100© Subscriptions CAMPAIGN for the Webfoot, new campus publication, will start today.

At noon, a committee of fifteen speak ers, headed by Jack Hempstead, will speak at the various living or ganizations on the campus, concern ing the contents and significance of the publication. There is a repre sentative from each house who will solieite subscriptions. “Judging from the interest shown, there should be no difficulty in rais ing the required 1000 subscriptions,,r says Douglas Wilson, manager. “Needless to say, the kind of in terest and support we crave is that which is evidenced by a year’s sub scription and, incidentally, the small sum of a dollar and a quarter, pay able when the subscription is taken. Every student should realize that it depends on him whether Oregon is at least going to have a magazine of this nature, or whether we are to continue to be the only school on. the coast not publishing one, as at present.” Rolf Klep, the editor of the mag azine, promises innumerable sur prises in the first issue. “Clever il lustrations and art work will be featured,” he said, “some very uni que articles have been received and will be tapped in the opening num ber.” Living Organizations Have Speakers The speakers who will visit the houses and halls and their schedules are: Mark Taylor, Sigma Beta Phi, Alpha Gamma Delta, Kappa Kappa Gamma; Beryl Ludington, Lambda Psi, Tau Nu; Benoit McCroskey, Delta Delta Delta, Alpha Delta Pi; Donald Beelar, Phi Delta Theta, Pi Beta Phi; Wilford Long, Alpha Xi Delta, Sigma Chi; Avery Thompson, Kappa Omieron, Alpha Tau Omega; Dudley Clark, Alpha Omieron Pi, Kappa Sigma; Ronald Robnett, Al pha Chi Omega, Theta Chi; Bob Warner, Sigma Pi Tau, Chi Omega, Delta Zeta; Frank Riggs, Gamma Phi Beta, Alpha Phi; Ward Cook, Friendly hall, Delta Tau Delta; Robert Love, Chi Psi, Alpha Beta Chi, Sigma Phi Epsilon; Herbert Socolosky, Kappa Alpha Theta, Sig ma Nu; Roland Davis, Susan Camp bell hall, Phi Kappa Psi; Ralph Sta ley, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Psi Kap pa; Jack Hempstead, Hendricks hall, Delta Gamma, Thacher cottage, Three Arts club. me representatives who will be in charge of subscriptions of the various livjng organizations are: Alpha Phi, Dorothy Dougall; Alpha Chi Omega, Edith Shell; Alpha Del ta Pi, Edith Dodge; Gamma Phi Beta, Grace Cobb; Delta Zeta, Glen na Fisher; Delta Gamma, Betty Beans; Alpha Xi Delta, Adelaide Johnson; Alpha Gamma Delta, Mau i'ine Johnson; Kappa Alpha Theta, Myra Bell Palmer; Kappa Kappa .Gamma, Bee Peters;.
