• By JACK O’MEARA
THERE is a season for. every
sport—outdoor and otherwise.
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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

(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.
