VOLUME XXVIII UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1926 NUMBER 47 ' Twenty-three WebfootsWin Football OV McEwan Used 33 Men on Gridiron During Whole Season Wetzel’s Playing Time Highest Single Score Four Play in Games More Than Five Hours FIGURES released by Virgil D. Earl, director of athletics, yes terday show that thirty-three Web foots were used by Captain John. J. McEwan in the five conference and two prelimin ary games this fall. Twenty-three of these complet ' ed the required number of min utes to receive j letters. Never be-l fore in Oregon’s1 athletic history Homer Dixon has so large a number of players participated in football games, or received letters. Victor Wetzel, the hard-working halfback, led the Oregon team in individual playing time with 381 minutes, 295 out of a possible 300 in conference minutes, and 86 against Pacific and Willamette. Wet zel missed but nve minutes in the last six games, being removed from the Stanford contest when the con test was hopelessly lost. Kerns Next in Line Bert Kerns, right guard, was sec ond with 349 minutes. Ninety-one of these were played against pre liminary opponents, and 258 against conference foes. Homer Dixon, be hemoth tackle, was third, with 315 minutes in (seven games. Captain A1 Sinclair with 311, and Nick Car ter with 301, were the only other Webfoots to get inside the charmed 300 circle. Ted Pope was another iron man, playing all but one min -ute in the final three games against the Oregon Aggies, Washington State, and California. - Santa’s Gifts to Lend Color to College Ball ^^^HAT’D you get?” Rose colored cravats wit^ cerise diagonals, cheery red com fy scarfs with love in every stitch—gifts that only Aunt Mary could choose—will blaze in glory after Christmas. Tradition has thoughtfully des ignated an official time to par ade realizations of cherished dreams as well as blighted hopes at the Christmas College Ball. Two days after Christmas the sar torial display will be staged at the Multnomah hotel. The committee, headed by Edna Ellen Bell, has arranged for ticket distribution on the campus this week. Many alumni and Portland high school students also plan to attend, according to the chairman. Theft of Clothes On Campus Traced To Young Girl _____m • University Authorities Give Statement; Culprit Apprehended Thefts of dresses, lingerie, shoes, and other articles of apparel from the dressing rooms in the Woman’s building, over a period of time ex tending from the latter f>art of last spring teTm to the first week in October, have finally culminated in the apprehension of the alleged of fender by local authorities. The loss of approximately "^50 worth of clothing has been traced to this per son, a seventeen-year-old girl, ac cording to Gordon Wells, district at torney. She was not a student at the University. The following announcement cou I cerning the case has been made by the University administration: “In order to relieve the concern among University women which has arisen as a result of the loss .of a good many articles by them in the Wom an ’s building during, the last month or more, the statement is made by the University administration that the person taking the articles has been apprehended, and that every article reported missing in the build lug liao MVV— --— turned upon identification. “The person guilty of the tliefts was not a student in the University and had never been a student, but had been with students on various occasions, and so having been seen with them more or less frequently, was not immediately recognized as not having legitimate occasion to be in the building. On the discovery of the guilty party, the case was turned over to the civil authorities. •Nothing further has been reported stolen in the building since this was done.” „ T ,_ The girl was tried before Judge C. P. Barnard in the Juvenile court,_ and was committed to the state re form school. She was then paroled to parents in the East, but escaped before being sent away, and married astudent attending the Unverstty, the district attorney said.

Miss Benson Resigns As Secretary to Dean' Georgia Benson has resigned her position as secretary to Virginia Judy Esterly, dean of women, and is preparing a record of the duties of the office for her successors. She will leave at the end of this term, and her position will ,be taken by Hazel Prutsman and Mary Stewart, each of whom will work on the half day plan. Miss Prutsman, Minneapolis, a graduate student working for her master’s degree, is interested in be coming a dean of women. Mary Stewart, of Portland, who will, take the office half of the day, is a junior. She substituted in the of fice for short^periods during the past year in Miss Benson’s absence.

Trank Riggs, end, though playing more than half the time, never participat ed in a first quarter. Nick Carter, after sitting on the bench dur‘^£ most of the Willamette and Pacific games, came to life and played in Idl out of a possible 300 minutes in the remaining contests. Cotter Gould started strong but finished far down among the subs. He neyer played a single minute after the Stanford contest. Sherman Smith, veteran wingman, played but one minute after the Washington game but got in enough time there to merit his letter. Both Gould and Smith, "however, were slowed up by injuries.

Student Drive Will Support New Memoir j Campus Representatives Plan to Canvass Home Towns Money Will be Raised By Benefit Functions Nancy Peterson, Kathryn Ulrich in Charge STUDENT drive to raise funds ■“"for the proposed Prince L. Campbell Memorial building will be carried on thru Christmas vacation by student representatives in their respective towns throughout the state. A committee meeting was held yesterday in Alumni hall at 4:30 when Mrs. George T. Gerlinger, who has been sponsoring the Fine Arts building drive in Portland for the past two years, spoke to the students there and laid her plans before them. The idea is to raise money in their towns by putting on a dance or benefit function of some kind during the holidays, the money derived from this to go towards the Fine Arts building fund. Students Know Towns Best “Each group of students is ac quainted with the situation in his l/UVYll Uuu 3UUU1U auwn i/vov M of raising money there,” said Mrs. Gerlinger. “I believe that special recognition should be given to the group that brings in the most money,” she said. Kathryn Ulrich and 'Nancy Pet erson have charge of the drive and the money obtained from the bene fit affairs should be turned over to them when the students return after Christmas. The following peo ple will work on the committee, ad ditional appointments to be made later in the week: Many Places Represented naizaoetn waara, jonn numci man, Edwin Boss, Astoria; Boberta Wilcox, Bob Moore, Newberg; Edith Dodge, Verne McGee, Ashland; Bee Harden, Darrell Elwood, The Dal les; Mary Louise Wiscarver, Phil lip Holmes, McMinnville; Margaret Long, Helen Connell, Mel Goodin, Hlilsboro; Lorraine Pierce, Ivan White, Salem; Lucille Pearson, Don McCook, Pendleton; Olive Banks, Bonald Hubbs, Silverton; Agnes Chipping, John Mohr, Hood Biver; Joan Patterson, Myra Belle Palmer.

Glenn Radabaugh Has Two Stories Published _ Glenn Badabaugh, junior in jour nalism, has written two stories which have been accepted for publication. One, dealing with the opening of the E. C. Simmons Ford garage, giv ing a description of the building and a few notes on the business, was accepted by the Ford Owner and Dealer magazine. The other, a feat ure story on an old treaty made by the United States government with the Indians, was recently printed in the Oregonian Sunday magazine sec tion. Paul Krausse, Former Student, Visits Campus Paul B. Krausse, a former student of the University, is now selling oriental rugs and carpets for a firm in Portland. Krausse was in Eftgene recently and visited on the campus. While on the campus, Krausse was a student in journalism and a mem ber of Phi Delta Theta, Special Levy | OfFiftyCents To Be Asked Student and Executive Councils Approve Assessment Fund to be Used for “Prepper” Conference Classes to Hear Measure At Special Meetings A MEASURE for a special stu dent body levy of 50 cents from each student to care^for the ex penses of the annual high school conference has been approved by the student council and executive council, and a vote of confidence for the action of the councils 'will be asked from each class before the end of the term. The approval of each class is be ing asked because there are no more general assemblies this term, and the need for money to carry on the plans for the conference of high school student body officers and women’s league members here Jan uary 14 and 15, is imperative. The tax is not a class tax, but a usual student body levy which will be in cluded in registration fees next term. The directorate for the con ference expects no opposition to the tax. ■« Fee Declared Fair • * This is the only tair way to get money for the conference,” said Ward Cook, general chairman of the directorate. “The annual meeting of high school, delegates is a stu dent body activity and a regular University function, and as such, should be supported by the stu dents. ’ ’ Miss Jesse Spaulding Smith, ad visor of publications at the Oak land Technical high school, Oak land, California, will be a leading speaker in the editors and mana gers of publications division of the conference. She is well known as the adviser of the many first rate high school papers in Oakland as well as the Technical school paper, the Scribe-News. During the sum mer session of the University of California Southern Branch last year, Miss Smith was one of the editors of the university paper, the Grizzly, and taught journalism. Next summer she will be on the journalism staff of the University of California at Berkeley. Miss Smith was a student under Dean Eric W. Allen 'when he taught journalism at the Berkeley school during the summer mlontlis some years ago. Miss Smith will speak before sev eral groups of delegates here, and lead discussions. Plans Nearing Completion A tentative program of the con ference will be worked out before the first of next week, according to Cook. Other leading speakers will be engaged. As soon as a complete list of delegates is received, hous ing arrangements 'will be made. Sopie cards will probably be sent out this week.-end with further in structions to the delegates, and a final letter will be mailed to each at the beginning of next term. Must Leave Lists It is imperative that living or ganizations who prefer to entertain certain high school students leave lists of the names of those dele gates at the office of Hugh Biggs this week. If fraternities or soror ities indicate no preference^ they must entertain who ever the hous ing committee designate. At a directorate meeting yester day plans were strengthened and details worked out. It is now evi dent that most of the arrangements will be made before the end of this term. Cosmopolitan Club to Hold Christmas Party A Christmas party will be held by the Cosmopolitan club tonight in the Y. M. (j!. A. hut, after the business meeting which starts at 7:30. Each member is to bring some present, the price of which must not exceed 10 cents. These presents will be distributed from the tree. The American members of the club will have charge of the party. Gilbert Brighouse, president of the club, requests that all members be present as important business will be discussed at the business meeting. The organization is planning to give a banquet soon. Faculty Confess Secret Sorrows In Fiction; Tastes Discriminating Helen of Troy, Cleopatra, Beatrice, Men's Ideals; Women Favor Satan and Leonardo Helen of Troy, Cledpatra, land Beatrice of Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing” were found to be among the popular ideals of gen tility of faculty members when ap proached by freshman members of Professor Ralph D .Casey’s^ news writing classes. The question put to all of them was: “If you were to invite to dinner or the theater a fictional hero or heroine, who would it bet” Mr. Walter Snyder, assistant pro fessor in English, would “date up” Helen of Troy because she “was the world’s desire.” Stephenson Smith, also a professor in English, who shares Professor Snyder’s of fice, would ask Shakespeare’s Bea trice because “she had a sharp ton gue, ready wit, and was the sort of woman that one could make love to lightly and absent-mindedly.” Mr. Snyder is again quoted, “for a theater party, I agree with Mr. SmStb. Either Beatrice or Cleo patra, but for a canoeing jaunt, Helen of Troy.” The ladies also were consulted. Miss Kee Buchanan, a major in the English department, would invite the Devil in Mark Twain's “Mys terious Stranger” to dinner, because “once in a while he would utter some statement, cynical and wise” and “all the people would look at him and feel how true his remarks were.” Sappho, the ancient Greek poetess, was another choice because she “was the greatest person of her sex who ever wrote verse," also Isabel Ar thur in Henry James' “Portrait of a Lady,” because she was “cultured, talented, and in possession of a wide range of knowledge of art, and was familiar with the lives and works of old masters,” and Corrine, heroine in a book by Madame De Stael. Cleopatra, “if the past could be relived tonight,” would also be Harold Mangum's choice, for the reason that she was one of “those passionate women who move men to making history readable.” Man gum is a sports writer and football man. Heloise in the novel, “Abelard and Heloise,” by Oeorge Moore, was found to be another choice because she considered Abelard’s philosophy in the world more important than her position as a virtuous woman. Helen of Troy is also the “secret sorrow” of Dr. K. R. Huestis, as sistant professor in zoology, who thinks “Helen was an extremely good-looking girl and when a man takes a girl out to dinner or the theater he may as well take a good looking one as otherwise.” Others qualify for varied rea sons, Lygia of “Quo Vadis” fame; Portia, “The Merchant of Venice;” Anna Karenina, Tolstoi’s heroine; The Red Cross Knight in Spenser’s “Fairie Queen;” Leonardo da Vinci, renaissance author and artist.

Revised Hoop Rules Not to Affect Oregon Reinhart Thinks No Coast School Will Change Style Coach to Attend Meeting In Portland Saturday Mentors Seek Uniform Interpretation TN THE opinion of Coach “ Billy ”■ Reinhart, Webfoot hoop mentor, the changes in the basketball rule# ior me 1926-27 season which have been written in the rule book, adopted jointly by the National Col legiate Athletic Associatio n, Young Men's Christian Associa tion and the Am ateur Athletic Un ion, will not af fect the style of Bill Btiokut basketball played at Oregon or any of the other coast conference schools. “Perhaps the biggest benefit of the revised rules will clear up a number of points that have been under controversy for some time. Then the changes will aid in the officiating, making it some easier "■ said Reinhart. “The change in rule which —free the goal good when the player wan fouled whether the referee’s whietlo has blown or not, will tend to make the score of a rough game somewhat larger. Another change which wilt benefit all teams is in regard to the air pressure of the basketball. An air pressure of 13 pounds in recommended as satisfactory infla tion for the ball. This will insare us of a hard ball for all road games* Heretofore some of the home t used a ball which was not inflated as hard as ours,” he continued. Reinhart to Attend Mast Saturday, Coach Reinhart will go to Portland Where a coast confer ence meeting of basketball coaches and officials will meet to go through the rules and get a uniform inter pretation. This meeting will be at tended by all coast conference coaches who will attempt to iron out any difficulties before the eea. son starts. Basketball officials will meet the new coaches the ence. With days growing fewer until the time when the Oregon vanity' departs for the sunny climes of Cal ifornia, Reinhart is leaving no fun damental unlearned. Every after noon the varsity goes through fun damental practice of the ball. Start ing next week, scrimmage will be held every day. The finer points uf team work are being stressed. Last Year’s Tour Success When the Oregon team goes south the day after Christmas it will be with an enviable barnstorming ree prd from last year. Last year’s trip included eight games, which is three more than will be played on this tour. The lemon-yellow hoopsters won six of their eight starts last winter and rolled the inflated cirel* through the hoop for 325 points to their opponcts 134. The varsity’s most decisive victory was over toe Redmond university quintet, 76 to 8. Perhaps the toughest game on. last year's trip was with the Los Angeles Athletic club. After play ing a nip and tuck game the Web footers were nosed out, 27 to 20. Rule Changes Given j Here are the changes in basket ' ball rules for 1926-27: Rule 1, Section 3—A diameter is to be drawn in the center circle par allel to the end lines. Rule 4, Section 1—An air pressure of 13 pounds is recommended as a. satisfactory inflation for the ball This applies to the valve ball, which permits the use of an air gauge. Rule 6, Section 6—If an injury takes place while the ball is in play* the officials are to withhold their whistles until a play has been com pleted. Rule 6, Section 7-The umpire is. given authority to disqualify play ers for flagrant unsportsmanlike con duct. Rule 8, Section 5—Each euater player shall stand with both feet on or inside his half of the center circle. Rule 11, Section 1—“Time Out" shall not be granted for a substi tution or at the request of a captain (Continued on page two-)
