arbitration of wage disputes with
out force and its resultant “walk
outs and lockouts”, will be brought
to the convention floor of the 47th
annual conclave of the American
Federation of Labor here today.
The plan, tending forever to
eliminate strikes and panic? that
follow, is considered paramount
among national and international
problems and leaders of the conven
tion, including President William
A. Green, were carefully avoiding
discussion of the subject prior to
itg# introduction on the floor %f the
convention.
Sigma Chi Returns
Uncoveted Trophy to

The Sigma Chi's report that aU
though there was a trge audience
only two or three Cl l’sis were at
home to do the honors and they
weren’t very profuse in their

Momentarily
(By United Press)
Mexico City, Oct. 6.—General Ar
nulfo Gomez and Hector Almada,
chief surviving rebel leaders in the
Mexican army rebellion, have been
surrounded by federal forces in the
state of Vera Cruz, according to an
official announcement tonight by
General Alvarez, president Calles’
chief of staff.
The loyalist forces under com
mand of General Gonzalo Escobar
—numbering three thousand in
fantry men and cavalry men—an
ticipate a battle almost momentari
ly, the chief of staff announcement
said- . -at J.*_ !
Aid on Way
General Jesus M. Aguirre with
1,500 men, is expected to join Es
cobar, both generals having hasten
ed to Vera Cruz in pursuit of the
rebel leaders.
Predictions here are that a
bloody battle would be the result
of a meeting between the loyalists
and the forces of Gomez and Al
mada. Both rebel generals will
fight with their back to the wall
as they face almost certain execu
tion if they are captured.
Rebels Reduced
Estimates of the strength of the
rebels in Vera Cruz, which are be
lieved to have joined forces today,
range from 800 to 1-00 men. Presi
dent Calles said yesterday that al
though Gomez had 1,000 men, this
number has been r.ukeed to less
than 600.
One Wild Inning For
Corsairs Gives Yanks
First Game by 5 to 4
(By United Press)
Los Angeles, Oet. 5. — Proposed
—One wild inning in which their
defense cracked wide open cost the
Pittsburgh Pirates the victory in
the opening game of the 1927 World
Series and the New York Yankees,
hustling for all they were worth,
took advantage of every opportuni
ty and won, 5-4.
Two Pittsburgh errors helped the
American League champions to
three unearned runs in the third
inning, after which the Corsairs
never could catch up.
Played before the largest crowd
that ever witnessed a ball game in
Forbes Field, this opening contest
provided world series thrills aplen
ty, but baseball which was far
from world championship calibre.

This is the second year swimmer’s
football has been an intramural
sport. As many living organizations

so, should see Coach Edward F. Ab

A round robin series comes soon
J with every team getting a chance
to submerge all opponents. Last
year records were kept of the num
ber of goals made by individual
players, and splashers tried as hard
to make records as Babe Ruth. The
Sigma Nu submarines won the tilt,

of water before coming out victor
ious. The men’s tank is open for

Heaviness of Vandals Is
Important Factor
By .TOE PUTNEY
Captain Boryl JTodgen is all sat
to lead liis flock of wild Ducks in
successful fight, against the. Van
dals. The Vobfooters arc rapidly
assuming a very determined frame
of mind, and are out to erase two
successive defeats with a victory.
Hod gen is setting the example for
his followers. Jle is one of the
hardest working men on the squad,
and is quick to eliminate his weak
points. The bnc’kfiold experience
gained ns a freshman and on tho
1925 varsity is proving to bo of
great value. As a lineman ITodgcn
is unusually fast, and has boon cov
ering punts in practice almost as
swiftly as an end.
Speed to Feature
Speed personified will be tho fea
ture of Saturday’s contest. Idaho
is coming with a reputation equal
to that of tho Webfootors for swift
ness, and has coupled weight with
speed. It was noticed in the game
with Montana State that Idaho was
woefully weak against tho aerial at
tack. This will be a considerable
asset to Oregon ns McEwan is
basing his point getting plays on
passes.
The Oregon iwingmen and backs
are working to perfect a dependable
passing combination. There is no
dearth of heavers, as Woodie, Cole
man and Robinson seem to be most
proficient. Wetzel can pull in
throws from any reasonable angle,
ns he ably demonstrate,d against
fjinfield and Racific. Vic.’s work
in tli o bank field has accustomed him
to handling a ball, and he knows
how to run through a scattered!
field. Handley, on tho other end, is
not such a sure receiver nor quite
so fast, but his skill in running in
terference and breaking up piavs
warrants him the first call on the
varsity.
Competition Close
Ono thing that is giving the Web
footers the strongest wing combina
tion in years is the closeness of the
competition. Slauson and Higgs arc
crowding the regulars, and they in
turn arc being pushed ahead by
Pope and Greer. Should either of
tho first stringer® be forced out of
the lineup, the reserves can be
rushed in without serious damage to
the power of the team.
The Vandals are the, bogey men
of the conference. All sorts of sur
mises and predictions are being
inncle, but still no satisfactory con
clusions have been reached. Some
one described tho Moscow mystery
as a steam-roller eleven with gi
gantic characteristics; someone else
likened it to an enormous mountain;
and still another thought it could bo
classed in the same size as a pre
historic monster. Coach Charley
Erb merely smiles, and continues to
expiiii# that his team will finish in
the league cellar.
Idaho Team Confident
The Vandal wrecking crew, how
ever, docs not hold the same opinion
as the coach, for it is out to finish
on top and looks to Oregon as tho
first stepping stone. For years tho
cry at the Idaho camp has been lack
of material, but this season the prac
tice field is so cluttered with youth
ful giants that filing cards arc said
to be needed to keep them straight.
Man for man the Webfooters will
bo outweightod iby about 14 pounds;
but this fact doesn’t seem to have
discouraged them. They declare that
they will Stop the Vandals’ steam
roller tendencies at the first, and
j substitute some of their olwtn tactics.
