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.

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.

in University am! College Summer
Sessions,” by F. b. 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.

who always chose the latter, to the delight of the
