VOLUME XXVIII UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1926 NUMBER M Oregon Meets Bears Today At Berkeley . California Fears Forward Passing Attack; Has Poor Defense Gridgraph Will Give Play-by-play Record Bruin Line Strong With Veteran ■ Men IN THE Memorial stadium at Berkeley this afternoon the var sity will meet the California eleven in a battle of the lurvival of the fittest. Neither team have won a conference game thus far this sea son, and the loser g of this contest |will be practical ly eliminated as dangerous con ender in future ames. While the game is progressing in McEwan the south, a play by-play record of it will be given on the gridgraph, operated by the Order of the “O” in the Woman’s building. Teams Evenly Matched California and Oregon appear to be evenly matched teams, with Ore gon slightly the favorite. The Bears admit fearing the Webfoot aerial attack, and the California strong point is their line. Price, Bruin mentor, has been drilling a defen sive against the sky route, but in what success he has had it is prob lematical. With the exception of Sherm Smith and Ted Pope, every man on the Lemon-Yellow squad is in lit physical condition, while the conditioning of the Bear eleven has been handicapped by a heavy toll of injuries. “Brick” Marcus, the star halfback of the California team, is out with a broken leg. Ex cept for Clymer’s punting ability, the Oregon backs have the edge. Clymer is a consistent kicker with a 45-yard average, Wetzel’s toe lacking the reliability of the Cali fornian’s. But man for man, the Webfooters have given stronger evidence of advancing the ball than have the Blue and Gold backfleld. Captain McEwan may or may not alternate his first and second string players as originally planned. Due to the higher temperature it will be necessary eventually, but whether the light or heavy backs take the field first is uncertain. Bear Line Strong Nibs Price will have Paul Clymer at one halfback post, with Jabs or Van Horn at the other. Captain Bert Griffen will do the line plung ing from fullback position and Dick j Blewett will call signals. Oppos ing this quartet will be Jones', full; Vitus and Wetzel, halves, and Mim naugh, quarter, if McEwan decides: upon the heavy artillery to open the fray. Otherwise, Wetzel will be ; shifted to fullback, with Ord and j Burnell, halves, and Woodie bark-! ing the signals. Steve Bancroft and Irving Phil lips have crowded out first string (Continued on page two) Much Speculation As to Tree Felling Brings No Solution HTITOODMAN spare that ▼ ▼ tree” but he harkened not to the words which proved so futile.

Many sugges tions and handsome guesses have been made as what they will So with the tree trunk but still we remain up a tree. One very thoughtful senior added the idea that from now on the fire in the president’s house would burn brightly. A freshman who could n’t think just said, “Perhaps some one will make a match with it.” But even at That the tree is so down that the only con solation we have is that it is out of the way and one less time we will be treed. $6000 Contest For Fresjhmen Essays Offered Best Chemistry Articles To Be Given Garvan Prize Awards The Garvan prize essay contest, which was established by Mr. and Mrs. Francis P.

This year’s art work will be of Chinese motif. Splendor, imagination pnd suiv tlety distinguish Chinese art from that of America. In this country a chair is a chair, but in China it is also a thing of beauty, elaborated by the hand of the carver. It is a creation that becomes more inter esting and fascinating as one ex amines it, Teng explained. The Temple of Heaven in Peking, where the Emperor worships, a ma jestic building whose roof is bril liant yellow, is one of the outstand ing pictures. No ordinary individual dares adorn his house with a yellow top, Teng said. Marble and bronze are the favor ite materials of Chinese architects. Lions, intricately wrought in bronze or white marble, strengthen the ef fect of an artistic door when placed at the sides as protectors, according to Teng. Although Teng is an economics major, sent here from China by the government of his country, he is in terested in a wide variety of things, art being one of his hobbies. Be fore coming to Oregon last year, he had attended Tsing Hua College at Peking. He likes the University of Oregon, he says, and thinks it bet ter than the University of Washing ton, where he was enrolled during the summer. After' finishing this year, Teng plans to go to Harvard University, and later to travel in Europe. In describing his native college, Teng commented on fhe absence of lotus, flowers in the millrace. The (Continued on page two) Debate Men Will be Tour Possibilities G r o a p Will Visit A 11 English Speaking Countries Trip to Last Nine Months as Planned Project to Be Under Way Within Year FROM the fourteen men who make the varsity debate squad as a result of the tryout at. 4:15 o’clock October 5, selection of the speakers who will go on a world tour to all the English speaking nations of the world a year later will be made. The seleotion will be based on the superior quality of the work done by the members, the forensic council decided yesterday at a meet ing at the Y. M. C. A. Plans Not Finished Plans for the project have been under way for about a year, but until recently they were only a pos sibility. Even now, they are pot absolutely certain, but the biggest obstacles have been surmounted, and are almost certain to reach their fulfillment. The plan is almost formidable in its large scope. On the tour mem bers will travel to Hawaii, Australia, New Zealand, India, England, and Egypt. Stops will also be made at many universities in the United States. This will be the first tour of such a large range. Hitherto, all debating has been within the bord ers of the United States. Idea Is Big “The men who are selected will probably be undergraduates,” said J. K. Horner, debate coach. There will be three of them, in all likeli hood—the same number that the Australian team had on their tour. The tour will last nine months. James H. Gilbert, Lowell Baker, Anne Runes, J. K. Horner, and Jack Hempstead were the members of the committee. Hempstead, men’s for ensic manager, says, “The idea is big, but not at all impractical. Def inite plans are already made. The kind of work we do the next few months will make the plan a success or a failure.” Swimmers to Start Practice on Monday; Frosh Have Good Men Practice for varsity and fresh man swimmers will start Monday afternoon at four o’clock in tho men’s gymnasium and will be held every day thereafter. The first two weeks will be spent in games, med icine ball and calesthenics, accord ing to Edward Abercrombie, varsity swimming coach. Pete Palmer, on the Pacific coast division of the American Bed Cross Life Saving service, will assist on the coaching staff. Oregon has a lot of good swim mers this vgar. Four lettermen are back, Bill McGregor, Don McCook, Lloyd Bverly, and Bob Boggs. Art Larsen and Willis Fletcher, of last year’s freshman team, are prospects. Ed Kaer, another candidate, is a triple-threat man, being equally good in free style, back stroke, and breast stroke. Dope on the freshman team is the brightest in years. John Ander son, of Bridgeport, Connecticut, winner of the national inter-schol astic 220 yard swim held last year at Columbia university, and all-Am erican inter-scholastic champion for the last two years, should swell freshman victories. Harold Hatton, a 440 yard paddler, Bob McMath, who swam last year for the Mult nomah Athletic club, and Charles Silverman, a 220 yard swimmer, are good material. University Professors To Speak Out in State Albert B. Swpetser, head of the botany department, will speak to the Roseburg Kiwanians, November 6. His subject has not yet been an nounced. W. G. Beattie, who is a lecturer in the 'extension division, will address the Parent-Teachers’ association at Foster, on November 5. His topic will be “Problems of Adolescence.” Dr. E. T. Hodge, professor of ge ology, will speak to the Salem wom en ’s clubs, on November 13, on “Evidences as to the Origin of Early Man in North America.” Faint-hearted Strain Given Timely Tip NONE but the brave deserve the fair. That’s what Dryden thought and that is the current opinion of dopesters on dates, so on the strength of that, all men who hope to take dates to the Sopho more Informal had better “get on the boat.” As yet, no bureau for arrang ing these dates has been formed, therefore, the faint-hearted men with high ambitions will do well in asking the fair lady early and avoid getting left when “the boat" goes out. Earthquake May Interrupt Game, *j Says Dr. Hodge — Stadium Built Over Site Of Rift; Temblors To Be Expected “The game with California Sat urday afternoon may be interrupt ed any moment by an earthquake!” stated Dr. Edwin Hodge of the ge ology department of the University of Oregon. “My opinion rests upon the fact that the^Qalifornia stadium is built right over a fault rift. Al though this rift has not been active within the last few years it is a well known fact that this structure is the site of an important earth slip.” Dr. Hodge says that the recent earthquake in Califbrnia was due to a movement of another and quite similar earth slip. North of San Francisco this active fault extends out to the ocean in a northwesterly direction, and south of there it con tinues about one hundred and fifty miles toward the vicinity of Los Angeles. This line of weakness has been active during the last hundred years and every now and then a new movement oecurs. One of the more severe quakes took place in 1906 and destroyed large, portions of San Francisco. Since then no movement of equal intensity has occurred, al though one may be expected any time. The smaller movements, caus ing more or less damage, prove that the fault is still active. The recent number of earthquakes in California may, perhaps, be relat ed to the very severe one on the coast of Kamchatka which took place the first week in October, and another which happened last week in Armenia. These two earthquakes probably relieved stresses in their portion of the world’s surface, thus intensifying and augmenting those stresses Mi the vicinity of Califor nia so that another may be expected in the near future. First “Dime Crawl” Of Year Scheduled For Wednesday Night The first “dime crawl” of the year is scheduled for Wednesday evening, November 2, from 6:30 to 7:30, according to Edna Ellon Bell, chairman of Women’s League For eign Scholarship Fuud, to which the money' from “dime crawls” is don ated. This is the first of a series of “crawls,” which are no-date af fairs, to be given throughout the ,vear for the benefit of the Foreign Scholarship Fund. Sororities will hold open house from 6:30 to 7:30 on Wednesday evening and during this hour, men on the campus may go to a house and dance as long as they wish for a dime. It is requested tha£ houses have dinner early that evening so the affair may start on time. Notice will be given later of those soror ities receiving in places other than their own house. Alpha Delta Sigma And Ad Club Meet Alpha Delta Sigma, national ad vertising fraternity, met with the Eugene Advertising club for lunch eon at the Osburn hotel yesterday noon. Several members prominent in Eugene advertising gave short speeches, and Calvin Horn, president of the University organization, spoke for that body’. Formal initiation of newly elect ed members will take place Sunday at 5:30 at the journalism “Shack,” l and will be followed by a banquet jat the Anchorage. Newly elected ! men are: Bob Warner, Bob Bying 1 ton, Kolf Klep, Joe Neil, Francis | McKenna and Herbert Lewis. FroshToGive Baby Huskies Battle Today Infant Eleven One of Best In Oregon’s History; Opponents Strong Backfield Glistens With Gridiron Stars Second Lineup Almost Up To Regulars’ Rating WHILE the varsity team is lin ing up to give battle to the Goldeu Bear away down south in Berkeley the hard fighting fresh man football squad will line up to uphold the honor of their class against the University of Wash ington Babes away up north in Seattle. This game is just as im portant to the frosh as the big game is to the varsity. Twenty-two fighting freshmen ar rived in Seattle last night prepared to give a good accourt of them selves. Headed by Billy Beinhart and Baz Williams, coaches, they were determined to avenge the de feat administered to last year’s yearling team in Eugene. The baby Huskies’ fame last year was writ ten high in all the northern news papers, and they came down hero and showed that they were all that had been written about them. This year the northerners are reputed to have another wonder team, but to even matters up Oregon’s own fresh man team is rated one of the best ever turned out at this institution. Frosh Pointed for Fray The frosh have been pointed for this game, as it is one of the two most important on their schedule this year. The only contest that shades the game tomorrow is that with the O. A. C. rooks to be played November 13. The Washington game has come to be an annual af fair and always turns out to bo a fighting, closely contested affair. This year’s game is expected to prove no exception. From all re ports the . babes are in excellent condition and are all ready to go. With all early-skason injuries re paired, they will predfent their strongest lineup. In Harden and Williams the frosh will have two battling ends. Har den has already made a name for himself as a fast, hard-hitting end. Williams recently was converted from a halfback to an end and is expected to show up well at the wing position. Scott Warren and Ralph Hande have played regularly at tackle during the season, and their ability is well known. Hold ing down the guard berths will bo Harry Wood and Henry Baldridge. Wood seems to be the best guard on the squad, with Baldridge a close second. Lanky George Stadleman will start at center. Ho was in jured recently but is sufficiently re covered to start the game. The backfleld combination of Frank Mimnaugh, Roland Coleman, Cecil Gabriel, and Harold Hatton is con sidered the best set of backs ever to play on a freshman team in the northwest. Coleman has been play ing great ball lately and has replac ed the flashy Robinson at halfback. Subs Up to Standard Capable substitutes will occupy the bench ready to go into the fray in case of need. Among these are some that are on a par with the starting men and who can play a high brand of football. The follow ing men compose the second team lineup and will probably see plenty of action in the game: Lloyd Slier rell and Arthur Stendal, ends; Glenn I’luss and Rulon Ricks, tackles; Frank Crooks and David Temple, guards; Phil Ireland, center; Ridge Johnston, Bob Robinson, Ed Cheney, and Bus MaeDowell, backs. Car roll Williams, student manager, also accompanied the team on the trip to the sound. Band Suits Asked for At Barracks at Once Students who are in the baud and have been assigned uniforms are urged by Jack Benefiel, graduate manager, to return them to room number 5 in the barracks which has been assigned to keep the uniforms when they are not in use. The number one and two bands have been picked by W. L. Ferris, director. The number one band will practice on Monday and Tuesday, the number two band on Tuesday and Thursday. Dance Will Feature Grid graph Showing Of Game Here Today T^ANCH and football hardly -■-^seem to go together, bat this afternoon we will away to the land of prunes and lemons for kieks both field and ball room type. The Gridgraph will bring ‘•Oskies" to the lips of many Oregonians! and then be tween halves the syneopation will hold sway. When the ani mals meet, Webfoot and Bear, an exciting time is expected. The Oregonians are not planning on wet weather for the party in Oal. but one ean never tell. But the history of the big game will repeat itself at the Woman's building for the benefit of those, who either like football or try to dance. At 2:15 p. m. sharp bring your pocket variety of a two-bit piece. 4The Awakening,’ Fairbanks’ Work, Now on Display Marble Fount Fashioned For C. G. Washburne Shows Aphrodite “The Awakening,” the chiselled marble fountain made by Avard Fairbanks, assistant professor of architecture and allied arts, is now on display in tho sculpture studio of the Art building. This spring, it will bo placed in the gardens of Carl G. Washburne of this city, for ' whom Mr. Fairbanks made the I statue. The fountain, which represents the kneeling figure of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of beauty, in her first glowing consciousness of life, is entirely of marble. Red granite 1 will make the sea shell of this ! marble counterpart of the mythical j who was born of the foam of the sea and brought to the Isle of Cyr-1 pus in a shell. Dolphins and the sea waves that form the base of the fountain will bo fashioned of gray granite. The fountain will bo placed i at the edge of the garden pool at■ the Wasliburne homo. At present ; only the figure is completed, and I this itself represents four years ’ j hard and almost continual work. j Mr. Fairbanks modeled tho figure of clay in 1923, east it in plaster, j and while visiting in Now York,! hud it forwarded there so he could, continue with his work. Ho return ed to Portland, and the statue, care fully packed, and sent by way of the Panama Canal, returned also. It arrived in Eugene October 20 via truck, and now, for the first time, it is on display. Mrs. Esterly to Speak During “Girls'9 Week” Virginia Judy Esterly, dean of j women, will speak before the girls at the Bend and Prineville high schools the week of November 15 to 20, which is set aside as “Girls’ Week” at both places. Oregon Picks Four To Take Rhodes Test Alfons Korn, Theo. Ruch, Carroll Amundson, and Harold Sox Named Committee Praises Ten Who Tried Out Group Best Ever Quizzed Here; Choice Hard TJ*OUR men, Theodore Bach, and Alfons Korn of Eugene, Harold Sox of Albany, all seniors, and Oar roll Amundson, of Eugene, a grad uate assistant in the history de partment, have been selected to represent the University of Orego® at the state try-out at Portland, December 11, for the Rhodes schol arship. Ordinarily only three men. are sent from here, but the men were so evenly matched that it was impossible to eliminate any fur ther from the ten who tried out, according to Dr. George Rebee, chairman of the local judging com mittee. Oregon Has Representatives Ono student will be sent from the state, and any institution of higher learning may send candidates. Clin ton N. Howard, of the school of journalism, is now at Oxford where he has been since last year. Arthur Rosebraugh, from the school of law, won the scholarship the year before Howard, so Oregon has held the scholarship for the last two year*. Ruch and Korn are both members of Agora, men’s discussion .group, and Korn, a senior in the English department, is affiliated with Delta Tau Delta, social fraternity, Te Tabbard Inn, men’s writing honor ary, and lias had leading parts in the Guild theater plays. He has also done book review work for the Em efald. Harold Sox, senior in the psychology department, is a member of Beta Theta Pi fraternity, and in a varsity debater, having Jbeen on the team his junior year and trying out for it this year. Ruch is alse in the psychology department. He caino hore as a junior from Albany College two years ago, but was out last year on account of health. Car roll Amundson, the only graduate student, was at the University of Montana his first two years. Last Examinations Thursday The examinations for the ten men trying out wore held Tuesday and Thursday evenings and the men were tested by Dr. Rebec, Dr. War ren D. Smith, and Walter Barney assisted by Dr. Horace Wyatt, Dr. W. P, Maddox and Stevenson Smith, former Oxford students. “Each man was subjected to » severe cross examination lasting from three-quarters of an hour to an hour. The questions covered the man’s abilities and attainments over pretty much the whole field of knowledge, though in each case rec ognition was given to his particular specialty,” said Dr. Rebec. “The committee that the group of ten men constituted was the largest and, more important, the abl est group in the history of the Rhodes scholarship tryouts at this institution,” he continued. “The committee was embarrassed in ar (Continued on page fow) Miss Perkins Back At University After Year’s Sojourn In Europe English Instructor Visits England, France, Italy; Takes Work at University of London Miss Perkins, of the English de partment, is back after a year of study and travel in Europe. She spent the first four months of her trip in London, where she took work at the University of London. She studied under Chambers, the famous scholar of Anglo-Saxon lit erature, and under Hutchinson, who is an authority on both Gothic and Anglo-Saxon literature. To supple ment this, Miss Perkins took fur ther work in the British Museum. On leaving England in January, she travelled to France, where she joined the Dyinents in Paris. She spent a pleasant month sight-seeing about the eify and outlying dis tricts, and then departed for the Riviera, in the Bouth of France, stopping at quaint little towns along the way. Ttaly, with its magic cities of Florence, Rome and Milan, its wonderful art, and its beautiful buildings; this was her southern destination. Miss Perkins spent sev eral weeks here before returning to Paris. While in Italy she made a tour of the cathedrals, which, she says, far surpass any of the north *rn churches of England. “I returned to England,” she 6aid, “with the intention of con tinuing my study for five or six weeks, after which we had planned I an extensive trip through the beau J tiful English country. However, it j was our misfortune to find our ! selves, at the end of my period of : work at the Museum, in tho midst ! of the strike which so paralysed J England.
