(Hy United Press)
Paris, Oet. |13,—TTnforseeii haz
ards developed in the path of pretty
Ruth Elder’s airplane flight from
New York to Paris today a few
hours beforo she and George liable
man, her pilot, were due over the
French coast.
Weather conditions were so un
favorable that even should their
monoplane American Girl complete
the ocean span of 3600 imiles with
out mishap, there was every indica
tion that the daring aviators would
run into storms in the region of the
English channel.
Big Mystery
There was no way to tell this af
ternoon whether Miss Elder, Halde
man and their plane, American
Girl, were above the sea or in it,
plunging toward the bottom to join
in death the crews of Old Glory, Sir
John Carling, St. Raphael, and
White Bird.
Lindbergh flew almost unseen un
til he reached the Irish coast; so
did Byrd and Brock and Sclilee.
Fog May Hide It
It would be possible for the
plane, if flying at a great altitude,
to pass close to a ship in the usual
haze without seeing or being seen.
If still in the air, Miss Elder and
Haldcman faced another night of
flying over tjlie sea to reach the
French coast in the morning and
land at Paris during the forenoon,
after a final stage through fog and
probably drizzling rain.
Emergency equipment did not in
clude, as most of the trans-Atlantic
planes, a rubber boat. Instead,
each of the fliers carried a rubber
suit in which, itt. was #said, they
would be able to remain afloat for
72 hours. Each suit has apparatus
in the hood by which breath could
be condensed into water.
FRENCH FORGET OWN HEROES
As “Flying Flapper” Nears, Paris
Plans Huge Welcome
(By United Press)
Paris, Oct. 12.—So great is tlie
interest in Ruth Elder’s trans-At
lantic flight that France has prac
tically forgotten the three great
French flying expeditions now in
progress—one*to South America, one
to Indo-China, and the, third to
Beirut, Syria and return without a
stop.
Iu the excitement over Ruth
Elder, the enthusiasm of Parisians
transcends even that which marked
the hours of waiting for Lindbergh.
High officials will gather at Le
Bourgeg when and if there are in
dications that the flight is to be
successful. Plane for a great re
ception already have been made.
All day Wednesday, newspaper
offices were besieged with queries
regarding the progress of the Ameri
can Girl.

Snail Beats Record
Of Rip Van Winkle
(By Science Service)
Rochester, N. Y.—The record for
continuous sleep is believed to be
held by a land snail owned by Wal
ter F. Webb of this city. This little
mollusk has remained dormant for
30 years, with the exception of one
summer when Mr. Webb gave it the
right conditions for becoming ac
tive. This interlude occurred 20
years ago, so that the snail has now
equalled the fabled record of Rip
YanWiinkle, and its owner says it
appears to be able to continue its

Delbert Moore to Present
.Violin Solo
Anthony Euwer, poet, illustrator,
and humorist, will make his third
appearance before the faeultv and
students of Oregon at eleven o ’clock
this morning at the regular assem
bly. Mr. Euwer, who gave an ad
dress last) January which was con
sidered one of the best of the year,
is one of the best-known of an in
teresting group of poets of the
Northwest.
Besides drawing from the North
west region, fnaterial for his stories
and poems, Mr. Euwer has 'also
found material there for his illus
tration. His drawings have ap
peared in many periodicals, includ
ing the magazine section of the
Oregon Journal.
Ranks High as Artist
“As an artist and illustrator he
stands in the front rank, having
f drawn things’ ever since he can
remember. He has illustrated his
books, and his drawings have ap
peared in 'most of the leacfing peri
odicals. His pastels and watqr
colors of the great Northwest and
of the battle-scarred regions of
Franco have added greatly to his
record as a painter,” said the Elli
son-White Celebrity Bureau, under
whose direction he is making a
western tour.
“Critics have said that Anthony
Euwer has done for the great North
west what Joaquin Miller did for
the Californians, what James Whit
comb Biley did-for the Hooeiers,
and Robert W. Service lias done for
Alaska and the Yukon.
Mt. Hood Stories Gripping
“His 'Rhymes of Our Valley,’
stories of the great valley at the
foot of Mt. Hpod, immediately
marked him as a producer of that,
big, gripping, human stuff that
stirs men’s souls. He does not pull
the wool over the eyes of his audi
ence, but when there is any there,
he pulls it. off so that they can see
as he would have them see. Some
how or other he manages to get you
going and you let him talk into the
cozy corner of your soul without any
question.”
Delbert Moore will present a vio
lin solo, Moskowski’s “Spanish
Dance.” Don Beelar, president of
the A. S. U. O., will present the
Panhellenic scholarship cup to Kap

racquet and won "the next four
straight games giving him the set.
After tho flurry in the first sot
Lockwood began to drive his op
ponent from one side of tho court
to the other. Miost, of the points
came as a result of Lockwood’s hard
drives to Almquist’s backhand. Both
men were accurate in their ability
to place the ball iu the hardest pos

Lockwood had tho ability to
“tuck away” most of the set-ups
that occured in the match. Alm

hand stroke and is as good in that
department of the game as he is in

University Should Supply
“Blue Books,” Student
Council Says
Plana for the campus chest, pro
posed 'by Roland Davis, senior man
on the student council, if passed liy
that body, will result in a drive for
chest funds the latter part of this
month or the first part of Novem
ber, according to announcement.
At its meeting yesieruav, me .stu
dent council passed a resolution
submitted by Davis for the creation
of a committee to take care of the
chest drive and steps will be taken
immediately to put the plan into op
eration. ^
At the council’s meeting', a re«K>
lution was passed to the effect that
the students bo no longer required
to purchase examination “blue
books,” and that the University ad
ministration supply them instead.
Donald Beelar, student president,
was the author.
Nancy Peterson, senior, was
named University historian with
duties to gather all preservable
news of the Associated* Students.
Tho full text of Roland Davis’
resolution as presented to the coun
cil is ns follows:
The Campus Chest
| In order to alleviate the necessity
for so many drives to obtain money
for charitable and philanthropieal
purposes, it is suggested that all
drives of this nature be combined
into one drive which will be known
as the campus chest. It is also rec
ommended that tho president ap
point a permanent campus chest
committee to take charge of the
drive, receive applications for ad
mission to the chest, to inspect and
approve budgets presented to the
chest committee and to apportion
the funds received in the chest cam
paign.

Last Workout Scheduled
For Tonight
Persistent reports continually
drifting into Eugene from the south
verify the unpredieted strength of
the Golden Bears from the Univer
sity of California. Confident of
victory, the Bears arc enroute to
Portland, where they will clash with
the Oregon Webfoots on Saturday.
Regardless of the pessimistic
trend of the news and the attitude
of the coaches, the Oregonians are
in fine mental condition for tho
approaching contest. The similar
ity of tlie style of play used by both
California and Oregon lends sup
port to the possibility that the
thrills of the Vandal fray will be
doubled. Last night’s practice
menu scheduled plenty of hard
work for the Ducks, but there was
no scrimmage.
Spike Leslie, who scouted the
Californla-St. Mary’s game, brings
back authentic word of the poten
tiality of the southerners. Their
defense, says Leslie, is equal to
that) of the Idahoians, and their at
tack is tricky and full of surprises.
Like Oregon, the Bears are basing
their attack on open formations
with plenty of passes in the back
ground. The Webfootors first con
ference tilt proved to be one of
speed against power. The second,
however, will witness speed pitted
against speed.
.trasses rroDamy jjeciaing t acxors
Although Idaho was reputed to
bo Weak in defense against an
aerial barrage, the success of the
Webfoot passes was not particu
larly outstanding. What Oregon
can do with a team that is said'to
be skilled in knocking down enemy
throws, will probably be one of the
deciding factors in the game on
Saturday.
It the Hear victory over »t.
Mary’s can bo considered a har
binger, Nibs Price is on the right
road toward a wonder team of tho
regime of Andy Smith. From what
appeared to be only mediocre ma
terial, *he Californian coach has de
veloped a team that is being
watched by the other championship
aspirants on the coast.
Coach Me Ewan will send his men
through the last drill tonight before
talcing them to Portland tomorrow.
In Portland the Webfoots will take
a light workout early Friday after
noon of Multnomah field. The Cal
ifornians are scheduled to run
through a light practice lat^r on id

Applicants for Work
Fail to Leave Names
Students apparently relying upon
the omniscience of University offi

it may relieve them to know that
their faith in Mrs. Donnelly’s abil

fail to write them on the cards or
to know other things essential to
their identification which they fail
to give has led them to expect too
much.

said, some of which do not havo tho
