Statistics fijom the game show that the Vandals outpointed the WTchfoots in only one department if flic game. The booting of the visitors excelled a little. The av erage of the Oregonians’ kicking imounted to .‘12.11 while the Idalio ins totaled 117.8.

October 22 is the last day. Tt is human nature to delay neces sary work until the last minute. Last year on several other occasions a large number of students came to grief and were forced to pay late payment fees for the simple reason that too many were waiting and the line' in the registrar’s office was too long. When the windows closed, those at the end of the lines liter ally lost three dollars apiece. Tt is hoped that the lines on the last day won’t be long this year.

Beirut University Has Influence “In spite of all the beauty and fascination, it was with a sense of relief that I turned to the rolling hills and the atmospheric tints of Palestine and Greece. In both of these countries we spent many days motoring. Throughout Palestine we traveled on excellent roads in Buicks driven by native drivers. “In Palestine and Syria there were four wonderful drives.

The United States supreme court today annulled the lease of the fa mous Wyoming oil field granted to Harry E. Sinclair’s Mammoth Oil company, the starting point of the oil scandal investigations of 1923-24. 1’h is decision brings to a. success ful close the government’s long legal battle,to regain the two rich naval oil reserves, leased by the then Sec retary of the Interior Albert B. Fall in 1922 and 1922. E. L. Do heny’s lease of the Elk Hills reserve in California has been annulleil by the supreme court and President Harding’s executive order giving the interior department jurisdiction over the navy oil has been revoked by President Coolidge. Unanimous Decision Made Associate Justice Pierco Butler announced the unanimous decision of the court, in an opinion which took 47 minutes to read. Justices Vandcvcnter and Stone, it was understood, took no part in consideration of this case. Butler ended the opinion and an nounced the court’s decision at 12:47 p. m. “There is persuasive evidence that Fall and Sinclair conspired to defraud the United States,” he said. Failure of Sinclair to testify is strong evidence against his com pany, Butler said. “We do not determine whether Fall was bribed,” the opinion added. Special Train Will Convey^Rooters to Portland on Friday Attention 1ms boon directed (by members of the rally committee to the fact that a special Southern Pacific football excursion train 'will leave tlfe campus from the north end of Villard hall next Fri day, October 14, at 4 p. m., to con vey University students and root ers to Portland for the California Oregon football rally and game. The railroad officials have agreed to spot the train at this point ad joining the campus to facilitate the handling of crowd congestion and motor traffic which would un doubtedly be considerable [if the train were to leave from the depot station. The price for a round-trip ticket is $3.80, and not $3.75, the price which has been circulated about the campus. The low excursion rate of $3.80 presages a record crowd of rooters, thinks members of the rally committee. The rally train will leave Port land Sunday evening at 6 o’clock from the Union station on the re turn trip to Eugene. Students are urged to carefully note the time at vrfhich the return train leaves. It is a long walk to Eugene. Luncheon Planned for Student “Y” Official A luncheon to which all students interested in the Student movement are especially invited is to be given Friday noon, in honor of David R. Porter, national secretary of the movement, who will stop in Eugene that morning, on his way to ttlie Y. M. C. A. field council meeting in Portland. / Men connected with Hi Y work are asked to be present, and .the subject of a large student council will be discussed. The place and price of the luncheon will be an nounced later. Two French Aviators On Way to St. Louis (By United Press) Casa Blanca, Africa, Oct. 10.—An airplane which officers declared was carrying Dieudonne Costes and Jos eph LeBrix, French aviators on their way to St. Louis to make a trans-Atlantic flight, dircled over the military airdome shortly before midnight tonight. It continued i southward ou its course, • Epidemic of Colds Crowds Dispensary With Ailing Students The red noses ami cyos so preva lent on the campus nowadays arc no indication of student sobriety or in ebriety, according to dispensary rec ords. Yesterday afternoon the num ber of ailing persons threatened to approach a margin over this term’s record, a hundred and sixteen; and Dr. Donald Romig of the health service estimates that probably three-quarters of the ailments have been various stages of colds. Whether it is the “dry” or “mu cous” stage interests very few of the patients who sign the profes sional looking slips and follow the nurse in throulgh the narrow hall to the room where nearly every stu dent has already been, or soon will be. Here the sufferer has his ton sils (or their ancient resting xdace) freely doused with a decidedly un sweet “compound of tincture of benzoin, alcohol and mercuric chlor ide,” according to Dr. Romig; and after that, his nose and throat are freely lubricated with a red-colored oil carrying the erudite name of “Mistol,” which patients are yet to learn is a product of the Stan dard Oil company. When he has finished gagging and sputtering the residue of this, aided by a square of sterile gauze, the squeaks of his mechanism, meaning the cough, are far on the road to elimination. New Magazines are Added Another Teason for the popularity of the dispensary yesterday may be in the fact that the season’s maga zines havo just arrived, by which wo mean the current issue of “Life,” and all its ancestors. Since their advent, it is noticeable that when their turn comes for the spray, students arc so interested that they will hardly respond to their names any more. As the sea son aftvances, most all the publica tions, from Popular Mechanics to Dance Lovers are added to the col lection, and go far toward making the student’s period of waiting more speedy. California Publisher Will Give Lecture Before Student Club Mr. Edward Ber<wiek, lecturer and publisher, will speak Wednesday evening’ at 7:30 in Guild hall on “Making History, or Your Duty and Mine.” This will be the first lec ture in the series to be presented by the International Relations club. Mr. Berwick, who is from Pacific Grove, California, has the reputa tion of being entertaining, witty and charming, according to Profes sor W. P. Maddox, organizer of the International Relations club, and has been well known for a number of years as a lecturer. Ho is an Englishman by birth, and will stop over in Eugene Wednesday while on his way to Portland. Professor Maddox urges all stu dents and faculty members inter ested in joining the International Relations club to attend the lecture Wednesday night and signify their intentions of becoming permanent members. Several other lectures have been planned by the club for this term, among them one by Dean Erie Allen of the school of journal ism. Dean Allen will speak on “Eu rope and America,” as a result of his recent European trip. . Freshmen to Compete For $50 Essay Prize !

Miss Marion Bowen, University Graduate, & (rets Welfare Work Marion Bowen, a 1920 graduate of the University of Oregon, was appointed field worker for the Ore gon State Child Welfare Commis sion October 1. She succeeds, in this important task, Mrs. Aline (Noren) Eliinger, who was also a graduate from the University in 1914. Miss Bowen, after graduating from the University where she ma jored in zoology, took courses in the School of Social Work in Portland in 1923 and 1924. She then went to Clatsop county, where she acted as bounty executive secretary for the American Bed Cross for three years, and previous to her appointment as field worker for the State Child Welfare Commission had just re turned from a four months’ leave of absence which she spent in travel in Europe. Miss Noren married George Eh inger the 25th of August. Mr. Eliinger resigned his work with the State Welfare Commission to be come superintendent of a model orphanage at Dover, Delaware, and this necessitated the appointment of a new worker, the position going to Miss Bowen, who has so aptly proven her ability since leaving the | University.

Sousa compli mented the band on the playing of his pieces and presented them with a slender silver cup. On the cup were written the words, “In appreciation to U. of O., University band,' Walter L. Perris, conductor, presented by John Philip Sousa in commemoration of his thirty-fifth national tour.” After the large blue-clad band of Sousa’s left the platform, the Ore gon men marched on but they made a smaller group compared to Sousa’s organization. Sousa waited until ithey were all seated, then quickly 1 marched to the platform from the wings and assumed command of the baton. Sousa uses few motions to express his every (wish, the least movement of his white gloved hand 'meaning that the music should be increased or diminished. Leader Compliments Band At the end of the first selection, “Fairest of the Fair,” ho turned slowly to the audience and said, “Some bands under my direction think with their feet. This band is using its head instead of its feet.” Turning again to the band, new to his directing, he requested that they play another of his compositions, “King Cotton.” Later lie told Mr. Ferris, the conductor of the col legians, that he thought the men ' played well. For 50 years Sousa has acted ns a conductor, this tour with his own organization being the thirty-fifth annual tour. He is famous as an American composer and conductor. During his tour he has been pre sented with several famous medals, some from kings of Europe. His most famous composition, named “Stars and Stripes Forever,” is played by all bands. Sousa’s Figure Erect For all of his seventy-three years, Sousa stands straight and stiff, marching with as much elasticity as any of his men. He was educated in Washington and took command of the first band during youthful years. The band was under Milton Nobles’ direction but Mr. Nobles became ill and was compelled to ■find someone capable of taking his position. Sousa has stood on the band platform ever since. His band is a representation of all the instru ments popular today,
