Now that the red-blooded grid game is about on the shelf for another season, sport pages are . sprinkled •every day with the other favorite •diversion—that of picking all-star teams. Everybody takes a shot at it. The only qualifications .being that they can count up to eleven. The Emerald gives a little more for the money. Instead of the cus tomary two team selecting, there are three submitted. What’s the Difference As interested observers will no .tice, six ends, tackles, and guards, three centers, five quarterbacks, / six fullbacks, and only one halfback appear in the places of honor. Our first team can run with the ball, tackle and' block. Which is about all that can be expected of any grid eleven. So can the second and third choices. ■ Incidentally, when the occasion demands it, they can pass and kick, too. Shipkey, Stanford, and Badgro, IJ. S. C., were drawn from the hat as wingmen of the first line-up. Both of these men did their part during the season to put their re spective teams at the top of the list. Walker, also from Palo Alto, and Whrd, of 0. A. C. grabbed pass es too and galloped down the field under punts. Schuh, of Washington, and Parkhill, W. S. 0. complete the group of ends of first water. Few were the plays that made much yardage through the tackle posts held down by Wilson, Washington, and Dixon, of O. A. C. These men performed equally on the offense, and Dixon has a number of notches in his helmet to record the kicks he has blocked. Hibbs, of U. S. 0., and Sellman, of Stanford are not far behind the first pair, and they, as well as Dickerson, 0. A. C., and Coltrain, California, covered theii assignments in good shape. Taylor All-American Probably there is no linesman ir the conference more deserving ol ■’ll-American mention than Bric< Taylor, negro guard of U. S. C. Nev er did Taylor falter, playing i sterling game all fall. His team mati for the first all-star string is Swan captain of the Stanford team. Hi performance will withstand criti cism. Kerns, of Oregon, and Kramei W. S. C. proved of equal caliber t rate the second team, and not fa behind them, are Hodgen, also o Oregon, and Gorrell, Southern Cal fornia. Jerry Cravath, Southern Califoi nia captain, stands out above a other pivot men in th£ eoasfc coi ferenee. Almost every pass he mad (Continued on page three) Drs. Clark Meet Former Faculty Folk at History Meeting Last Week Stanford University, Site of Conference, Described By Oregon Delegates as Beautiful At the meeting of the American Historical association at Stanford University last week-end, Dr. B. C. Clark, of the history department, and Dr. Dan E. Clark, of the exten sion division, met several former Oregon men. Glenn Hoover, who taught eco nomics here last year, i! now teach ing at Mills College. Dr. John C. Almack is now professor of educa tion at Stanford University. He was formerly in the extension division here. Charles Reynolds, an alum nus of Oregon and secretary of the medical school for several years, is now taking graduate work at Stanford. - Professor Miller, who taught economics here for two years, #intil Professor Hoover took his place, was also a former Oregon man whom Dr. Clark met at Stanford. Mr. and Mrs. Harold Benjamin are also at Stanford, although the repre sentatives from Oregon did not see them. Mr. Benjamin was principle of the University high school until a year ago. The meeting of the Historical as sociation took place Friday and Sat urday of last week. The association has a branch in the west because the main society has its center ih the east and their meetings are never farther west than Chicago. They are for the purpose of giving an opportunity to historical men to read papers on their lines of work, to make acquaintances with other men interested in history, and to renew old acquaintances. Friday evening Dr. R. C. Clark spoke on ‘‘The Influences of Tariff (Continued op page four) Juniors Defeat Freshman Girls In Volleyball Seniors to Meet Juniors For Championship Thursday Night The junior and senior women's first volleyball, teams are tiecl for the championship, and will play their final contest next Thursday evening at five o’clock. The juniors attain ed this position last night when they defeated the, freshman first team in a game which ended at first in a tie and was played off to a junior victory in an extra five minutes. This gives both the junior and senior teams five victories and no defeats. The freshman-junjior game was the fastest of the season and aroused much enthusiasm among the spec tators, by the clever work of all players. The game went in favor of neither side; at olke serve the freshmen were ahead and in the next the juniors. The freshmen' ran up an eight poiijt lead toward the end of the ghnie, but in the last minute and a half the juniors were able to make points enough to make the score 35 all. The teams decided to play the tie off, and the juniors won the serve. The freshmen seemed played out and there was no evidence of the close team work that had char-1 aeterized their playing throughout j the half before. The juniors were able te run the score up to 44 to the freshmen score of 37. The game put up by the freshman team was a decided surprise since they stand at the bottom of the team ratings, with three games lost and two won. The sophomores have won three games and lost two. Two other games were played dur ing the evening. The sophomore third team won from the sophomore fourth, 56 to 32, and the freshman second from the junior third 83 to 18. Dr. G. Mueller to Read j Paper at Club Meeting Dr. Gustave Mueller, instructor in philosophy, will address the Phil osophy club, Monday evening, Dec ember 6, at 7:30 in the men’s lounge room of the Woman’s build- j ing, with a reading on the subject, “Is There Such a Thing as Beauty and What Is It.” John Mueiler, member of the staff of the school of sociology, will dis-1 cuss “Psychological Factors in the Aesthetic Experience,” at a meet ing of the club December 13. These two lectures are given in successive weeks because of the similar topics, and should be par ticularly interesting due to the dif ferent opinions whieh will probably be expressed on the same subject. The Philosophy club is composed of students of the upper division in i that department and meets weekly. It is a seminar and is devoted to . discussions and special lectures. ! All interested faculty members , and students are invited to attend i the meetings. Other speakers have - been scheduled for the winter term. > Miss Spafford Honor r Guest at Informal Tea t - Miss Martha Spafford, of the Uni versity library, who is leaving on - a year's leave of absence in the east, 11 was honor guest for an informal _ tea which Mrs. Marion McClain and e Mrs. Jack Benefiel gave yesterday afternoon at the home of the former Five Dollar Fine Punishment for Not Taking Exam Breakers o f Regulations Must Petition for Re-entrance An intermediary punishment con sisting of a five dollar fine for fail ure to take a regular examination or for otherwise disobeying Univer sity regulations has been instituted by the administration of the Uni versity of Oregon. Formerly only two courses were possible, either cancellation of registration or re registration without a penalty. The ruling reads, as follows: “When a student, whose registra tion has been cancelled for non compliance with University regula tions, is re-instated, he may. be re quired by the academie requirements committee to pay a te-registration fee not to exceed $5.00.” In practice, if a student violates a University regulation, he will be notified that his registration is can celled. If he desires to re-enter the University, he must petition to do so, stating his reasons for breaking the regulations in question. If per manent cancellation of registration, including loss of the term’s credits, be considered too severe in the light of circumstances in the case, the student may be re-admitted to the University with the penalty of paying the $5.00 fine.

I College Ball Date Set For December 27 Large Attendance o f Students at Affair Is Desired Money Will Benefit Foreign Scholarship Stuart Ball Has Charge Of Ticket Sales OREGON’S annual Christmas College Ball, sponsored by the Women’s League, is the one time during the Christmas holidays, when the University students, graduates, and ex-students can gather for an evening and “see who is there.” Edna Ellen Bell, chairman of this year’s ball, urges a large attendance at the dance which is to be held at the Multnomah hotel in Port land, December 27. A meeting of the committee was held last night to complete plans for the dance. Representatives were appointed from each of the men’s houses on the campus to sell the tickets which are $1.50 each. A large number of high school students will attend the affair. Plans are being made to have sev eral University men speak at the Portland high schools and to invite the students to the dance. This is one of Oregon’s opportunities to interest the high schools in the Uni versity and each year a large num ber are represented at the Christ mas ball. To Benefit Scholar The proceeds will go to the For eign Scholarship fund to maintain some student from a foreign country on the campus. It was impossible to have a foreign scholar on the campus this year due to lack of funds and members of the league are working harder than before to assure the possibility of having one next year. Besides Edna Ellen Bell the com mittee members are Gladys Steiger, finance committee chairman; Hazel mary Price, publicity; and Doris Wells, patrons. Stuart Ball has charge of dis tributing the tickets to the men’s houses on the campus and also of maintaining a ticket selling booth in the Multnomah hotel and at Sherman Clay and Co., music store in -Portland, The fraternities on the campus and representatives who will sell tickets are: Lambda Psi, Martin Geary Phi Delta Theta, Denison Lawrence; Phi Gamma Delta, Clare Seal Ion ; Phi Kappa Psi, Jim Bogers; Psi Kappa, Teddy Osmund; Sigma Chi, George Moorad; Siigma Nu, Dave Bauman; Sigma Pi Tau, Her man Eodemacher; Alpha Beta Chi,.

The lemon-yellow hoop ringers open their 1927 conference season against the University of Idaho Vandals in Oregon’s new basketball pavilion, January 22. Game Starts at Springfield The maple court; game is 35 years old. It was born in 1892 in the old gymnasium at the International Y. M. C. A. Training School of Spring field, Massachusetts. The first idea 4>t such a game came to John Nai smith while listening to a lecture of Dr. Luther Gulick, a member of the school's faculty. Dr. Gulick lectured on the lack of a worth-while game that would have the same general interest given it as baseball and football. A game was needed that would take care of the long interim when the ground was covered with snow and inclement weather pre vented active participation in out door sport. Basketball enjoys the unique dis tinction of having been invented by a single brain at one sitting. Dr. Gulich’s suggestions impressed Nai smtth and several days later he in vited Dr. Gulich and his classmates over to the old gymnasium to try out a new game that he had de (Continued on page three) Professors to Lead At Church Discussion Groups Open to Public “Compulsory military training in 'the colleges,—is the trend away from it and toward elective military training, supported by intelligent Christian patriotism?” This ques tion will be argued at the open forum sponsored by the Congrega tional Brotherhood, Sunday evening at the church building at Thirteenth and Ferry. A number of faculty members and members of the debate squad have been invited to participate in the discussion, which is open to the public, especially to collegians. Prof. Harold S. Tuttle, of the school of education, will open the discussion. In his talk ho will give a brief report of a study of Europe, made by the western secretary of the National Council for the Pre vention of War, Lincoln Wirt. As Mr. Wirt only returned from Europe a few weeks ago, his report has been completed very recently. Sunday evening’s meeting is the second of a series of open forums being given by the Congregational Brotherhood. The complete list follows: December 5, a discussion led by i Professor Harold S. Tuttle, of the ! school of education, on “Compulsory , Military Training.” January 2, music. February 6, a discussion led by Professor L. O.

Doors of the theater will open at one o’clock, states Ed Crow ley, in charge of the affair, and a film comedy and news reel will precede the gridgraph, which will begin at 1:30. Following the ac count of the game will come the regular picture. The charge will be fifty cents for the entire pro gram . Convocation at Ann Arbor Ends Sessions Today Hugh Biggs, Frau Morgan, Represent Oregon At Congress The second Annual Congress of the National Student Federation of America, which Hugh Biggs, presi dent of the A. S. U. O., and Frances Morgan, secretary, are attending at Ann Arbor, Michigan, chose as its subject, “The Student’s Part in Education.” The Congress opened Thursday evening and finishes to day. One student representative for each college and two delegates for co-educational institutions, which are listed by the United States Bureau of Education as degree-giving, com pose the group. The Congress hopes “to achieve a spirit of co-operation amon(g the students of the United States to give consideration to questions af fecting students’ interests;' to de velop'an intelligent student opinion on questions of national and inter national importance, and to foster understanding among students of the world in furtherance of an endur ing world peace.” The purpose of the group meeting is to appraise the value of college education as at present conducted, to integrate the various protests against superficiality and standard ization of college life, to consider the steps taken by different institu tions throughout the country in meeting these problems, and to adopt' a permanent form of organ ization for the National Student Federation of America. The Congress opened Thursday evening, when President Clarence C. Little, of the University of Mich igan, delivered ’an address of wel come to the delegates. Yesterday brought forth the out standing discussions of the Ann Ar bor meeting. “The Honor System and Student Government,” was outlined before one committee group by Dorothy (Continued on page four) Examination Schedule of Term Given Number of Quizzes Limited To Three a Day Start ing December 14 Plan Based on Study Of Freshman Courses Hours for Some Tests Nor Yet Announced WITH the announcement o£ the examination schedule for th» fall term of the 1926-27 school year comes the news that the schedule committee has reduced the number of examinations to be held on one day from four to three. Last year some students had three examina tions in one day in spite of every effort to the contrary, so the change was instituted to make such an oe curence practically impossible. Freshmen Considered The new schedule, which if suc cessful will be used throughout tie year, is based on a study of the class registration of nearly 100 freshmen selected at random. Due to lack of collegiate experience the freshmen have been the greatest sufferers from crowded examina tions, it was stated by a member of the schedule committee, and it was for the purpose of protecting them in particular that the new schedule was based on their class enrollment. Some Exams Unscheduled The examination period of a course is determined by the number of times it meets regularly at ana certain hour, not by the credit it carries. A11 examinations are not scheduled, and those omitted may be arranged by the instructor. The quizzes will be held in the class room unless the instructor provides otherwise. Although the personal hygiene* classes for women have their ex aminations scheduled for Saturday afternoon, December 12, the exam inations proper start Tuesday, Dec ember 14. Regular classes will be held Monday of examination week. Outline Given The schedule is as follows: Saturday, December 11 1-3 Personal Hygiene for Women. Tuesday, December 14 8-10 Eight o’clock 3 hour classes meeting M W F (or , any two of theso days) and >4 and 5 hour classes. 10-12 First and second year French, and third year French lit erature. >2-4 Constructive Accounting (la) all sections, Problem Analysis (Math. 9a) all sections, and Amer ican Novel (Eng. 140). Wednesday, December 15 8-10 Nine o’clock 3 hour classes meeting M W F (or any two of these days), and 4 and 5 hoar , classes. 10-12 First and second year Span ish. 2-4 Written English classes, all sections. (Continued on page four) (jruild Theatre\ Players’ Presentation Of Early American Comedy Pleases By T. J. We have to say that costume plays give us a particular fillip, and that bouffant skirts and cascade sleeves make for a thing of charm. “Contrast,” the first American comedy, produced by the Guild Hall Players, was a play of the Sheridan order, tricked out in a gay vernac ular, and expurgated as to Sheridan ribaldry. But we thought the Guild Hall Players sensed the spirit of the time. They handled their skirts, their cuffs, their grimaces, and their lines well. We would like to comment on Constance Both’s charmingly wist ful expressions and her characteriza tion of Maria Van Rough’s'mild but insistent “hankerings” after the person of a young prig in a red uni form. The young prig played hit priggish part with all the sensibility known to prigs, and we disapproved but liked his chauvinisms, his ap palling integrities, and his propen sities for platitudes. Larry Shaw played the scarlet-coated object of Maria’s admiration. Cecil Matson as the philandering coxcomb, who played the susceptibil ity of a variety of young ladies witl equal discrimination, and all at once worked his part into a ship-shap( effect. His frequent allusions tc Lord Chesterfield, whose disciple ii social graces, the scion of wit, Sir Dimple protested himself to be, per suaded us of the urgency of look ing into Lord Chesterfield’a letters. \ The comedy of the piny insinuated I itself through the personable if lud icrous forms of Jonathan, the mai of the military model, (played by Ernest McKiilney), Jessamy, the man of Mr. Coxcomb (played by Howard Van Nice) and a pungent little maid servant (Mary Camp bell) with a pretty disarray of hair which we particularly liked. Kitty Sartain, as Letitia, and Etha Clark as the scarlet-coat's sister, carried their hoops beauti fully, and gave their lines a tang of romantic superficiality that did them, credit. j The father of Miss Maria Van j Rough was a stern man with a silver j coat and a manner of er.reme pro | priety. Arthur Anderson took thea i part. The settings were graced by taste I and accuracy and cridit must be | given Miss Wilbur, the coach, for | these, and for the admirable indi ■ | vidualizations of the roles. And there were those, to be sure in the boxes, spuriously colonial i persons who spent a good deal of time eating bon-bons, and playing— their own roles which nobody hatk ■ especially directed them to do.
