Dr. Yocom Tells Slimmer Work At Sunset Bay Retiring President o f Sigma Xi Presents Paper to Body Restrict Clam Diggers, Say Scientists Imagine an animal with a body some six inches in length, whose diameter is about three inches, and whose neck, or siphon, is nearly three feet in length, when fully ex tended! Such an animal, bi-valvular, known as zirphea gabbi, was ex hibited to members of Sigma Xi at a meeting in Deady hall last night, by Professor Harry B. Yocom. The specimen, which is part of the col lection obtained at Sunset Bay, in the North Bend region, by members of the class in marine biology con ducted last summer by the zoology department of the University, is re lated to the clam family, and was found at the low-water line three feet down in a bed of hard clay. Dr. Yocom, who was in charge of the work, presented a paper on the results of the summer’s endeavors, at the meeting of the fraternity last night. With the use of pictures, he explained the geographic envir onments and conditions with which the student group had to contend. Some three hundred specimens of marine fauna were collected, some of which have not yet been definite ly classified. Among the discover ies most important to the people of the state were several varieties' of edible clams, crabs, and oysters. Coral Is round Three specimens of soft coral, probably the first to be found on the Oregon coast, were also collected. Samples of these are now in .the hands of Dr. Griffin of Reed Col lege, for identification. Miss Sanborn, also of the zoology department, with two students, found between 190 and 200 speci mens of marine flora and algae, about 120 of which they identified, and 70 of which were sent away for identification. One of the probable results of Dr. Yocom’s work at Sunset Bay, will be the further restriction of elam digging on the Oregon coast, and especially in Coos county. Un der the law private citizens may dig three dozen in any one day, but those who wish to make a commerc ial business of it, may, upon the payment of a $5.00 license fee to Coos county, dig as many clams as desired. It is reported that one dealer dug as many as 80 dozen clams in one day. Clams Disappear Groups of two and three families go down each season, take along the family wash boiler and numerous fruit jars, which are filled with pro cessed clams. As a result of these expeditions and commercial opera tions, the time is not far distant when the clams will be virtually ex terminated} probably within the next five years, Dt. Yecom predict ed. Dr. Yocom’s statements created a stir of interest among the mem bers of Sigma Xi, and it was sug gested that legislative restrictions be placed on suA practices. Dr, Yoeom hopes to complete a survey of the varieties of clams to be found on the Oregon coast, by the end of next summer. It was sug gested that the matter might be placed before the 1927 session of the state legislature. An interesting problem for inter ested persons, the professor sug gested, would be the effect of the new jetty, under government con struction at the entrance to Coos Bay, upon the surrounding marine life. At present the currents are washing in sand in such quantities that the established animal life is being smothered, and the natural replacmeent of this life should be of great interest to most scientists, Dr. Tocom thinks. The next meeting of Sigma Xi will be held in Portland Saturday, November 6, where the fraternity will be guests at a meeting of chem ists of the northwest, to hear Dr. Ernst Cohen, professor in the Uni versity of Utrecht, Holland, speak on “Metastability of the Atom.” Perkins (Continued from page one) for, and it was of immense interest to study the strike in its various phases. One thing which impressed me highly, yvas the complete absence of disturbance. The police maintain ed perfect order, and not a shot was fired during the entire strike. The students from Cambridge and Oxford responded at once to the call for volui^ers, and did every thing from running buses to carry ing freight and acting as porters. The tram service, of course, was disabled, but the people co-operated extremely well, and any workman or commuter who lived any distance from London, felt free to ask a ride of anyone going toward London with the assurance of getting it. The English do. not ordinarily use autos to as great an extent as peo ple in this country. A family of moderate means here would no doubt own a car, but there the form of conveyance would probably be a motorcycle. Too, taxis in England are only for the very wealthy, as their rates are too exhorbitant for the poorer man. During the strike, however, every type of vehicle ob tainable was used, including even velocipedes. The effects of the strike were not apparent on the surface, but they struck hard underneath. The stores were handicapped because people could not reach London to do their purchasing. It was indeed a happy day for England when the strike was called off.” Miss Perkins completed her tour with a visit through the English towns of Canterbury, Rochester, | and Sumerset, and through the Ca thedral towns, returning to the United States late in the summer.

Oregon Men Help Bring Western Football On Par With That Of East Richard S. Smith and Homer D. Angell Draw Eyes To Possibilities of Coast Schools When Father Time, the decrepit old gentleman with ancient scythe and hour-glass, clears the stage for a blushing New Year, a place is also cleared where the east and west may fight it out for national football supremacy. Last year the east proved superior. The west’s representatives, the University of Washington Huskies, lost to Coach Wade’s Alabama gridsters, who were delegates of both east and south. Twenty-five years ago, western football was laughed at in the east. In 1900, the thought of a western grid player would give an eastern coach little cause for thought. An east versus west football game ""'as not to be thought of. Today, the west is on a par with the east in the way of football and it remained for Oregon men to start the ball rolling so as to bring about the present situation. Early in the fall of 1901, two graduates of the University of Ore gon, Richard Shore Smith and Hom er D. Angel], opened wide the eyes of eastern coaches. Smith and An gell graduated from the University in June 1901 after each had made an unusual gridiron record, Smith as a halfback and Angell as a tackle. In the fall, they matriculat ed at Columbia university, New York, to study law. Although greatly interested iu football, they decided not to par ticipate but to devote all of "their energy to the pages of Blaekstone. The call of the gridiron could not be completely ignored so one night found the two on the sidelines watching practice. An easterner who in some manner had learned of the football ability of the two, made some flippant remarks to the ef fect that if they were such “crack erjacks,” they had better enter the game. When they declined to take part, their answer brought the cry of “cold feet’’ from the Columbia root ers. Smith and Angell could not stand the jeers so promised to turn out for one practice. The Columbians gave them the merry “ha-ha” when they reported for practice the next afternoon. They were taken to be “set-ups” and the coach put them on the scrub team? Both Oregon men soon dis tinguished themselves by good de- j fensive work. When the scrubs ! I were given the ball, it was passed i j back to Smith who was playing ; halfback. Without waiting for his interference, he broke through tho varsity line and using the straight arm on a half a dozen meu, rushed practically the length of the field for a touchdown. Immediately after this remark able performance, Smith was given considerable attention and was soon placed on the varsity.

In 1903, Smith was named as cap tain of the All-American team and became widely known throughout the east. The Philadelphia Press said before the game between Col umbia and Cornell: “There was joy at Columbia yes terday when it was announced that Smith, the sterling halfback, had de cided to play in the Cornell game.

Incorporated McDonald-Schaeffers Bldg. Eugene, Oregon To The Student Body, Alumni And Faculty - President Hall has stated that the most urgent of all needs, is more money. That the University must have more money if she is to take and maintain leadership among the educational centers of the nation. ^ The taxpayers of Oregon are groaning under a burden which makes Oregon one of the most highly taxed states in the Un ion. With the result that they will NOT vote money for any purpose no matter how meritorious it may be. Reduction in the tax burden of the people is therefore the only solution of all of our problems. Senator Stanfield is the first of our representatives to analyze the conditions under which Oregon is laboring, and apply a remedy. •54% of the land area of Oregon is public do main, and not subject to taxes. 46% is bear ing the whole cost of state and County gov ernment and development. In the enactment of the O. & C. bill Senator Stanfield obtained from Congress the ac ceptance of the principle “That where lands are withdrawn by the Federal Government for conservation purposes, and for the bene fit of all the people of the nation, and for posterity—the whole nation should bear a just share of the cost of state and county government wherein the lands are located.” The - O. & C. bill brings to the taxpayers of the; 17 land grant counties, a cash payment rff'•-nharly, KighV-million dollars, and a re '^uction' for •all'Time °of'25% in their taxes. V"- '■'• ■*» • -* - Senator Stanfield proposes to apply this principle to the Forest Reserves, which will give the State of Oregon an additional in come of from Ten to Fifteen million dollars annually and for all time, or a tax reduc tion of from 25 to 40%. ^Vith this additional income or reduction in taxes, the people of Oregon will be able, nay willing, to grant to the Educational Institu- ' tions the moneys so badly needed. * < You who wear cap and gown, who love your , Alma Mater, should one and all givo serious attention to this question. If the tax burden of the people is not reduced, no additional aid can be expected for the University. The retention by Oregon of the Chairman ship of the Public Lands is essential to the carrying out of this relief. Oregon can only retain this Chairmanship by the re-election of ItoTiert N. Stanfield. Most, if not all, of you are taking up voca tions, and making homos in Oregon. The im mediate and/ full development of Oregon moans happier homes and increased prosper ity for each and all. Then and then only will our Educational Institutions receive their full measure of support. Americans today are bigger than mere party or personal likes or dislikes. You have an opportunity to show your colors. The full and immediate development of Oregon, the pros perity and happiness of her citizens and in stitutions, are to be weighed against per sonal and party likes and whims. The choice is yours—it is for you to decide. (Paid Advertisement—W. M. Caldwell) 4 4 4
