Oregon Babes Put Thru Paces In Scrimmage Reinhart Gives Freshmen First Stiff Work r ■ of Season :!i ^ f ' : Tho yearling football squad has sot,tied down to n strenuous practice Campaign in preparation for one of tlio heaviest schedule: an Oregon freshman team has over neon called upon to face. Scrimmage has been inaugurated this week by Head Coach Billy Reinhart and from now on will continue to be dished up to the aspiring babes in generous quan tities. These stiff iwofkouts are ex ploded to definitely bring out the real ability of the men as individual players within the next couple of weeks. Scrimmage will give the men plenty of opportunities to show their staff and a. number of “dark horses” will probably develop. It is to be remembered that the squad iwhicli lined up for the first freshman lilt in 11)20 was almost entirely changed in .personnel before its final game was played. With this instance in mind, Reinhart says there can be no assurance that the team which faces" Ashland Normal at Ashland a week from tomorrow on the Ashland grid iron will lie ultimately the first string squad. Ashland Normal is a, new institu tion and is not expected to be a dif ficult hurdle for the frelismen. Little dope has yet been uncovered 'to give a lino on the potential strength of the teachers and it is barely possible, if underestimated, they may hang a surprise on the frosli. The game twill probably give most of the squad a chance to par tiicipate. A mimbor of combinations nre br ing assembled in the backfield and line. In the backs Don Kelly, John Donolme, Bert Tuttieh and Kits iniller were one of the first sets used in scrimmage. These men have been shifted about and alternated with Johnson, Dvornx, Van Orman, Men denhall, Parks, Riley and others. The line which took part in tho initial work was composed of George Chap pell as pivot man, Austin Colbert and Jerome Lillie i'n the guard Iberths, George Christensen paired with Bob Lehman as tackles, with Lyle Bar rington and Ed Moeller sharing the Wing posts. “Buz" Williams alter nated Bill lining, Martin and Parks, centers; Bn gain, Hodgen, Penrose and Devereaux, guards; Johnson, Donglas and Bryan, tackles, and Harold dinger, Archer, Carson and Hoskins at tho end positions. Signal drill still takes up a big share of the practice. Bert Kerns is spending considerable time with the line in dummy scrimmage, hav ing them block and smear interfer ence. “Baz” has been giving tho ends work in running down and snagging passes. There are a num ber of ends out who are tall, rungv and fast, just the type desired for an effective overhead attack.

Letter Is Received From Sol Abramson A letter from Sol Abramson, ’27, former editor of the Oregon Daily Emerald, who is associate editor of The New Student, national student newspaper, published in New York City, has been received recently by Abbott Lawrence, major in the school of architecture and allied arts. Sol said that bo is very anxious for Oregon students to contribute art work and illustrations of any sort, especially reproductions of such material as woodcuts and lino leum blocks, to The New Student. He explained that all kinds of cre ative work are wanted by this pa per. He wrote: “Reproduction of the work in The New Student means recogni tion of a sort, and for rising artists it may serve as encouragement.” Ab Lawrence believes that this is a true opportunity for interested students, and is anxious that many contributions be sent in. Philosophers to Meet The Philosophy club of the Uni versity bus not yet organized for tin year, but will get started at an in itial meeting probably not later than the first port of November, ac cording to Dr. George Rebec, dean of the graduate school and profes sor of philosophy. Business of the club is carried on very informally and it has no offi cers. At its 'meeting's held on Mon day evenings in the men’s room of the Women's building, members of the philosophy seminar, philosophy students and others interested in the subject conduct a round table. Visitors are invited to the first gathering. November Campus Trees and Flowers Have Interesting Histories Behind Them Students, now and otherwise, who ponder on the names of shrubs lining “Hello” Lane would find the mystery idearing up beautifully onoe they dismissed them with Sam Mikkolson, veteran lnkidscnpc gar dener on the campus. A lutiu major oneo threatened to take time off and learn to spell the names of the plaints around Doady hall, but he graduated during the process. An other domestie-mimled student, de clared ho was going to perpetuate every shrub on the campus by naming liis children after them. However, there is more cause for despair since last, week, when an entering freshman remarked, “You have everything here but the Au rora Borealis.” But Mr. Mikkolson can offer a good substitute, even for that. Ho likes trees, especially, and small is the wonder, for ho comes from lien murk, where they grow hardy amd tall. Still on this subject, ho tells of the class trees ou the campus. With the exactness of Nordic folk, he read about them from a tabulated list which ho keeps for reference. One of the first memorials is an English laurel of goodly propor tions which stands at the northwest corner of Heady. It was planted by the graduating class of 1878, a time when Arbor day was fashion able. Nearly every class after that planted some kind of a memorial, but one of the outstanding that the gardener likes best is a lingo elm, also at the northwest ooliner of Heady. The tree was (given to the class of 1883 by the father of one of the graduates, then U. S. Senator Slater, and the slip was taken from the famous elm by Washington’s tomb at Mount Vernon. Other class memorials include a cottonwood, or balm tree, and a white-barked syca more, native of the southern states, and a Port Orford cedar. The honor of tho last class tree, however, goes to the id ass of '98, who planted a myrtle on the west side of Eleventh. Even tho huge oaks northwest of Villard hovo been tagged by pre vious classes. Another memorial of unique variety is the basalt pillar near these oaks, carried from Skin ner’s Butte and engraved by the class of ’93. An unusual landmark, whoso origin Mr. Mikkelson is still puzzled about, is tlio English ivy bower, evergreen, west of Villnnl. Fitting them to the climate, rais ing the rose, however, is the garden er Is most permanent occupation. The most beautiful variety ho calls am “Ophelia Hybrid,” a tea rose of salmon, flesh-shaded color. The bush was planted as a memorial of a convention which was held on the campus long ago, and is situated on the right at the front entraiuce of Friendly hall. The long hedge of pink roses ou the east side of Hello lane tire know'll by the fancy name of “Ma dame Caroline Testout,” which the gardfner declares was once the i name of a real woman. The row of white, running diagonally from this, have even a more picturesque title, “Frau Karl Krouiskei.” Bn it withal, they seem to thrive and grow just as beautiful as their pitnk sisters with the American name.

Subscribe for the Emerald Foreign Element Small in U. of O. Says Sliirrell Junior College Idea Is Highly Advocated by Dean of Men “The University of Oregon hns a small foreign element in its student body, as compared to the other uni versities and colleges on the Pacific coast;’’ declares Elmer L. Sliirrell, new dean of men. This, he says, was the thing that impressed him most when he arrived here to take up his duties this fall. “At the University of Arizona, where I was dean of men and as sistant professor of political sci ence,” said Dean Sliirrell, “Mexi cans, Indians and half-breeds, con stituted a serious social and educa tional problem. Most of the .Mexi cans and many of the other two groups isolated themselves from the rest of the students and the latter, in turn, did the same to them. Mexico sends a large number from its upper class who want education to this university. At the Univer sity of California and at IT. S. Cl., Filippinos, Chinese and Japanese constitute a strong voting power in the student-body. Of course, the educators and most of the stu dent leaders realize that grsup isolation and gatherings are a det riment to the progress of an edu cational institution and try to dis courage it.” Mr. Shim>ll is thoroughly con vinced that dean, in order to keep in touch with students, should as sist in tlio actual instruction. This idea ho put into use when he was assistant professor of political sci 1 once in addition to being dean of men at the University of Arizona. It was on this condition that he ! came to Oregon. “I enjoy mingling with students as an instructor,” he said, “and get a great kick out of my class iu po litical science here.” Dean Shirrell served on the teach ing staff of the University of Southern California and when the world war struck the United States | it found him on the faculty of the Berkeley division of this univer sity. After doing his part in the [conflict, he was appointed head of the veteran relief work of Cali fornia, Nevada and New Mexico with headquarter^ in San Francisco. For five years he superintended the rehabilitation and re-location of the disabled veterans. Following this, he spent two years at his Arizona position. “It was necessary that the gov ernment train all disabled veterans for a trade and I believe a univer sity should take vocational guid ance into consideration also,” ho declares. lie expressed himself as very much in favor of the junior college idea and high commended this uni versity’s attitude and pathfinding in the matter. One of the biggest problems con fronting the university and college educators of today and tomorrow is the declining age average of the students at entrance. ‘ ‘ Every year sees the average age of college freshman classes lower ing and yesterday's methods of in struction will not apply to tomor row,” the dean says.

Stetson, profe-s sor in the sehooi of education of the-University of Oregon. According to Mr. Stetson, in 1026 there were summer sessions in more than 700 universities, colleges, and normal schools, with a total en rollment. of over 75,000. This was an increase of 94 per cent, since 1916, he said. The tendency in summer schools, Mr. Stetson said, is toward a longer session with special courses and prominent instructors from other in stitutions. This makes the summer school especially attractive to teach ers, he said. The continued growth of popular ity of summer sessions seems to be assured, Mr. Stetson stated, and it is probable that the summer session will continue to offer many distinc tive features of instruction and re creation.

There is also news of extension students and their activities, a record of the achievement of certain students (who completed correspon dence courses during the months of July and August, and an article, “ From the Instructor’s Desk,” which gives excerpts from the paper of one of the students enrolled in Contemporary American Novel.
