A. C. AFTER resting Monday, the var sity squad turned out in uni form yesterday afternoon and went through a stiff workout until dark. Coach John J. McEwan split his eharg Wetzel es up under the direc tion of the as a is ta nts and worked so steadily during the practice per i o d that the gloom of the Washington disaster was dispelled by the hope of de feating Stanford. No team scrimmage was held, but Ellinger worked his linesmen on de fensive blocking that was equally strenuous. The air attack which frightened the Huskies in the first half last Saturday was rehearsed again, with Bob Mautz supervising the ends. No new pass formations were tried, the end coach attempt ing t'0 perfect those already in use. Vidal ordered the backs through plays, emphasizing elusive running and co-ordination with the inter ference. All backfield regulars and aspirants worked with little rest, rubbing off the rough edges of the plays. Three Webfooters Finish Game While numerous substitions were made in the Washington game, no serious injuries resulted. Lynn Jones, Beryl Hodgen, Sherm Smith, and Cotter Gould were the principal casualities -of the fray, each being injured in the legs and feet. All these players reported in uniform on Hayward field last night, and Bill Hayward, trainer, does not ex pect them to be out of the regular line-up for long. Vic Wetzel was easily Oregon’s star player in the game last Satur day. He had the distinction of be ing the only backfield man to play the entire game and one of three men on the team who were not sub stituted, the other two players be ing Bert Kerns, and Homer Dixon, tackle and guard. Wetzel Lauded “Wetzel was the outstanding player for Oregon. He never falter ed in punting, and time and again he stopped plays on the defense,” wrote L. H. Gregory, sports editor of the Oregonian, commenting on individual performances. Wetzel punted five times during the con test and averaged 39 yards, out kicking the Huskies’ average bv six yards. His longest kick was for 50, and he received and ran back punts for 37 yards. _ This halfback was one of the, mainsprings in the furious Web foot aerial attack, eatehing four passes for 41 yards gain and throw ing another to Ord for an advance of 15 yards. Wetzel carried the ball in 26 plays and totalled 52 yards from scrimmage, more than all the other Oregon backs combined. Of the eleven first downs made by Oregon, Wetzel made 8, four by passes and the rest from scrimmage. He caught Woodie’s toss in the second period, scoring the only touchdown and converting the goal. Prep Star Out John Low, of Portland, former Commerce high all-star fullback re ported for practice this week. Low is a transfer from Oregon Agricul tural college, and will be ineligible for varsity competion by confer ence rulings until next year. During his final year at Com merce, he was chosen as all-Port land fullback on the mythical all star high school eleven. President-elect Forsees Valuable Results In Experimental College University of Wisconsin May Hasten Destruction of Fancy and Sophistry in Education I By ARNOLD BENNETT HALL ' The idea of an experimental col lege as originated by the brilliant young president of the University of Wisconsin is arousing a good deal of comment and a great deal of inter-1 est among widely different circles, i It is my personal judgment that this, is a most suspicious undertaking. I One need not agree with the details of the plan to support wholeheartedly the idea of objective experimentation in the field of education. The purpose of the experimental college is to carry still further in edu cation the general drive toward ob jectivity which in recent years has been characterizing the best work in the different fields of social sci ence. This drive toward objectivity is an effort to replace fancy with fact and sophistry with science. It is an effort to experiment with the educational process so that we can form valid conclusions based upon scientifically ascertained data. It involves the application to education of the idea of controlled experi mentation which we have learned from the development of natural sciences. For generations we have argued about the contents of college cur ricula. We have had heated con troversies over problems of method ology in instruction, but they have rarely gotten further than vocifer ous disputes and emotional effer vescence. The founders of the ex perimental college proposed !to take a certain type of curricula or a certain. type of method and apply it to a limited number of typical students. These students will then be measured by various mental tests and examinations and the results of these mental tests and examinations will be compared with the results of similar tests and examinations ap plied to other groups of typical stu dents who have followed different curricula or received their educa-1 tion by different method. By com (Continued on page four) Finance Drive Under Way for Y. M. and Y. W. Dr. Hall Behind Drive; Pamphlet Is Being Circulated A pamphlet is being circulated about the campus concerning the work of the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. organizations. A special mes • sage from President Arnold Ben nett Hall is printed on the front page of the publication which says: “I am anxious to see the work of the two Christian associations prosper. These are organizations that tend to develop among the students the qualities of spiritual initiative, responsibility and lead ership. They represent student ef fort and enterprize in the field of religious and civic interest. In such matters I am particularly anxious to see our young men and women meet with a large measure of success. In assuming responsibility for this part of the Christian work upon the campus, in seeking to direct ac tivities along the lines of greatest usefulness and in searching for ways and means to minister most effectively to the spiritual life of the University, the persons spon soring this movement deserve the widest sympathy and support.” » It is with such encouragement and backing as this that the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. are launching their finance campaign this week. Julia Wilson, who is chairman of the Y. W. movement, told the re porter yesterday that the first re ports had been very encouraging so far. About 50 campus women are working on the movement. Twenty girls are canvassing the town. Pledge cards and receipts have been circulated among the differ ent living organizations, and girls are being urged to show their ap preciation of the Y. W. work in this way. Copies of the pamphlet are be ing distributed at the various houses. This contains not only President Hall’s message, but in addition a brief outline of the ac tivities of Y. W. and Y. M. Arti cles on World Fellowship and the Freshman commission is contained in the little paper, as well as other general information which the or ganizations feel students should know when giving money. ‘ ‘ Definite reports will begin coming in tomorow, ” declared Julia Wilson, ‘‘and we will then be able to know the response of the campus to the movement.” Craftsman’s Club Meets Thursday Masons and sons of Masons are invited to the first regular meeting of the Craftsman’s club Thursday evening at 7:30 in the clubhouse on Fourteenth avenue. An entertainment, refreshments, and a short formal meeting are scheduled for the evening. A secre tary will be elected to fill the place of David Boyle who did not return to the University this year. Music Program Is Feature for Next Assembly Instrumental and Vocal Numbers Ready, Says John Stark Evans Trumpet and. bassoon solos will be the features of the musical pro gram to be held tomorrow at the weekly assembly in the Woman’s building, under the auspices of the School of Music. The musical program is the first to be given this year. Because of the extraordinarily good material in glee clubs and orchestra, and because of early tryouts, the assembly is being held earlier in the year than former ly, said John Stark Evans, instruct or of the School of Music. Usually two such programs are given each term, he said. If the copies of the new Semi Centennial song, the words of which were written by Irene Stewart, alum nus of the University, and the music for which was written by Hex Un derwood, professor of (violin, ar rives from Portland where it is be ing printed, part of the assembly hour will be devoted to a rehearsal of the song. John Stark Evans will lead the practice, in preparation for the Semi-Centennial celebration to be held October 18 to 23, on the Oregon campus. The song will be officially introduced in the 'Uni versity at the annual pledge day program to be held during the week of the celebration, said Mr. Evans. The program will be opened by a march played by the orchestra un der the direction of Bex Underwood. This will be followed by a violin solo. ' Miss Leota Biggs of the School of music will sing a soprano solo which will be followed by a trumpet number. Announcements will be made re garding the Semi-Centennial pro gram, and after the students sing the new Semi-Centennial song, the orchestra will play an “Overture.” The program will be closed-by the singing of the Oregon Pledge song, by the students, led by Mr. Evans.

Checks Students expecting to go to the Homecoming game with Stanford must plan to pay their fees early, announces E. P. Lyon, University treasurer.

After that date any student not having paid all fees and penalties shall be con sidered automatically suspended from the University and shall re ceive a grade of F in all courses. “Watch your bank account,’’ warns Mr. Lyon. “ N. F. S. checks are considered non-payments and are subject to the same penalties. Remember the rule that no more checks will be accepted during the balance of the school year from students having bad checks re turned.’’ Early payment of fees is urged, because the administration office cannot handle the rush that always come the last day and a half.

Co-ed Scribblers Will Vend Sinkers SINKERS galore for a jitney a hole! That will be the song of the girls of Theta Sigma Phi, national journalistic honorary, as they parade with big baskets of Thursday with big baskets of sugar-coated doughnuts. It is a tradition with these pen pushers of the more delicate va riety that once each year pencil and brain give way to the earnest business of selling doughnuts. So Thursday, October 14, is the date this time, and there is no danger of the sinker seller dodging you. Drawing for Doughnut Hoop Teams Finished Basketeers Given Two Opportunities to Win Tourney Drawings for donut basketball games have been made and at three o’clock on Monday the first game will be played at the men’s gym. Four fracases will take place the same afternoon in an effort to nar row down the nineteen teams en tered to one which can call them selves the “champs.” A provision has been made in the schedule whereby each team can play at least two games before being eliminated. All teams losing their first game go into a consolation league and all winning quintets take their place in the win column. The three surviv ing teams in the winners bracket play the leaders of the losers in a round robin series. The drawings are as follows: Monday, Oct. 18—3 p. m.—Phi Sigma Kappa vs. Sigma Nu; 3:45— Beta Theta Pi vs. Chi Psi; 4:30— Friendly hall vs. Delta Tau Delta, and at 5:15—'Sigma Pi Tau vs. Sig ma Alpha Epsilon.

Chinese Motif To Be Feature In Yearbook Oriental Artwork to Honor New Museum; Promise Extra Features Index to All Pictures Will Mark Innovation Oregana to Be Dedicated To President-elect ■pRANCES BOURHILL, editor of the 1927 Oregana, announced yesterday that in this year’s book a Chinese motif w to bo carried out. This will be done to honor the new art museum which will be dedicated to the memory of I he late president, P. L. Campbell, at the Semi-Centen n i a 1 celebration next week. Many new features are Frances Bourhill to be added to the book this year and if everything turns out as it is planned now, the book will be ready for distribution by Junior week-end. The page borders will be of Chin ese fret work. Colors, purely Chin ese, will be used throughout the an nual. The introductory pages and section heads are to be taken from, sketches of Chinese life. Brilliant block prints will adorn the fly leaves and various pieces of Chinese art will be illustrated in the book. The heads on the section pages are to be mounted on a heavy grey paper. Women’s Section to be Aldded One section will be devoted to Oregon women who are prominent in student affairs. Pen and ink por traits will be used in this section this year instead of the halftone por-“ traits. There will be several colored icenes of parts of Oregon in the rout of the book. These will be leaded by a color plate of some :ampus scene. The faculty section vill be entirely different this year rom that of any previous year. Will Feature Semi-Centennial One section will be entirely devot 'd to the Semi-Centennial and will nclude a short history of the Uni 'ersity along with cuts of the cele iration and pictures of prominent ducators that assisted with the irogram. In this section there will >e several pictures of the campus as t was years ago. Pictures of grad iates of the Univorsity who are irominent in some field or who have lone something of note will also be ►resented in this section. Names to be Indexed Probably one of the biggest addi ions to the annual will be an index living the name of every person rhose picture appears in the Ore :ana and the pages on which they rill be found. This is a thing which as been needed for some time and veryone will surely welcome this mprovoment. I ortraits in the athletic section rill show only the head and should rs of the athletes. Heretofore they lave shown a full view but the pie ire was necessarily so small that (Continued on paye four) Green Wrapping Paper Is Roster For New “Invincible Rooters” Club Henry Fisher, Freshman, First Underclassman to Join Upperclassmen’s Organization Henry Fisher. Nothing extraor dinary about the name. But Fisher, “green-capper,” class of ’30, joined an upperclass rally and “got away” with it. Furthermore, Fisher will go dowji in the annals of Oregon his tory as the only freshman to belong to Yell King Jack Seabrook’s “In vincible Rooters.” Thursday evening, preceding the exodus of students to the Oregon Washington football melee in Port land, an upperclass rally was sched uled to meet at the library steps at 9:45. A few of the upper classmen ap peared, and after tramping several blocks around the campus, managed to gather together about 70 men. As the rally progressed, however, the number decreased to 55. But the spirited members of the party kept on in grim determination, visited most of the fraternity and sorority houses on their tour. The party ended on the lawn be fore the home of Dr. Hall. With ua<ls uncovered in the group sang he Oregon Pledge song, and gave three mighty “Rah’s" for the new President of the University ; It was there that Jack Seabrook decided to adopt the loyal group as is Invincible Rooters.” Forth 1 with they obtained a large sheet of green paper on which they all in scribed their names. j Enter Henry Fisher and his green | cap appeared. ! a freshman sign this sheet? he asked, his voice tremb j ingii, awe “Well, a freshman that s been following yon all even ing, .and yelling like the rest” “ Why how about it. fellows! Sure, and you’ve been honored aa no other freshman.” So Henry Fisher is now one of Seabrook's “Invincibles,” and hi* name will forever remain on the sheet of green wrapping paper, which will, if Seabrook's plans go through, be hung in a specially ere uted “hall of fame.”
