Freshmen Grid Game Promises To Be Battle Royal Webfoot Sportoscope By RICHABD H. SYRING Sports Editor A telegram received at the sports office last night went on to say, “Twenty-six members of the Uni ' versity of Oregon football team ar rived here today waiting eagerly for a chance to tackle the champion ship-bound Stanford football team in the Stanford stadium tomorrow. The Webfoots were all in great phy sical shape and went through a snappy practice session as a last measure of preparation for the cru cial game.” It can be seen that Oregon men are ready, everything is set for the big game with the Cards today. ,*■ * # The Webfoot squad was sent off with a great ovation. Every man was inspired to say the least. A good way to keep letting the team know we’re behind them is by the use of telegrams. A short wire has a much greater effect than most people realize. Last year when Coach Billy Reinhart took his bas ketball team on its northern jaunt they ran iuto some stiff competition at Idaho, W. S. C. and Montana. When the team arrived in Seattle, pretty much worn out, a flood of telegrams began arriving. If you will remember, the first half ended with the Webfoots with a few points lead. Between halves a number of telegrams were read to the lioop sters and as a result, the Lemon yellow quintet piled up 20 markers on the Huskies during the last canto. Address your telegrams to Cap tain Beryl Hodgen, Cardinal hotel, Palo Alto, California. Just as a another reminder, don’t forget the Oregon Stanford game over the gridgraph, McArthur <court at 3 o’clock. The Order of the “O” is bringing this service to the stu dents at a great expense and dc Bprve pqtronnge. Last week saw the gridgraph in operation for the first time this year. New men were used in opera tion. According to Ed Crowley in charge, everything has been made ready to give the watchers an un interrupted play-by-play account. * * * ! Today’s game at Palo Alto will see Coach McEwan’s men clothed in blue jerseys. Heretofore, the Ore-! gonians have worn light-weight white jerseys in their southern con flicts. “Pop” Warner discarded the familiar red shirts this year for ones of white, necessitating the Webfoots’ chapge. By the way, it might be interest ing to know that the whtie jerseys worn in the south last year against California were loaned by our Ore gon State friends, the Beavers. * * * Oregonian’s eyes are centered on Palo Alto but a good majority of tho native sons will be casting their optics toward Los Angeles where Howard Jones’ U. S. C. Trojans will attempt to run rough shod over “Nibs” Price’s undefeated Cali fornia Bears. The Bears are pretty confident since their decisive vic tory over the strong Olympic club and its all-American members. *■ » * The University of Washington Huskies with a 14 to 0 victory over their traditional rivals, Washington State Cougars, will take things easy and play the Whitman Missionaries at Seattle. The Washington Staters are furnishing opposition for Coach Sehissler’s Oregon Beavers as a part of their Homecoming celebra tion. «' * * In the northeastern part of the conference, Idaho and Montana, are also having a facile time. The Van dals remain idle, resting for their game with the powerful St. Mary’s eleven in San Francisco next Sat urday. Montana Grizzlies will enter tain the Montana School of Mines at Missoula. Pledging Announcement Alpha Xi Delta announces the pledging of Mildred Johnson, of Linton, Oregon. Varsity Men To Start Work November 2 Mermen Will Play Water Polo to Develop Wind and Swiftness Meet Multnomah Club January 28, at Portland Prospect for the Season Appear Bright Swimming practice for the varsity squad will start Wednesday, Novem ber 2, at four o’clock in the Men’s gym, announced Edward F. Aber crombie, head swim mentor. The first part of the season will be taken up with work in the gym. The mermen will spend their time in running around the indoor track, throwing a medicine ball and work on the bars, to develop their wind and stamina. After a few days of preparatory work the men will play American water polo in the polo. The main fund ion of this will be to develop the ability to tread water and to further develop the swimmers wind. The water polo game will be changed to use the International rules after a period of time. In the International polo speed is the prime factor making it good prac tice for swimmers. A meet with the Multnomah club will be held in Portland on January 28. This will be tlie first tilt of the season for the Webfoot swimmers. California and Stanford will proba bly bring their water polo teams to Oregon for a meet this year. And it is hoped that meets with southern teams will be scheduled in the near future. If the present plans of coach Abercrombie work out the Oregon team will also schedule a meet with the Washington swimmers' the- place of the meeting to be decided on later. The material for the start of the season is more impressive than that on the first, of the previous season as but few men are missing from the list. John Anderson is the star •of the last year’s freshmen,class and will be able to compete on the varsity this season. The following swim aspirants have signed the list; John Ah el o', John Allen. John Anderson, Willis Fletcher, Edward Johnson, Edward kier, Art Larson Bob McAlpin, Les lie Kirkliam, Dan McCook, Bob Mc Math, Wade Newbcgin, Jim Baley, Frank Beid, Frank ' Biggs, James Sharp, Phil Sherridan, Charles Sil verman, Ed Slauson, Pete Slauson, Lamont Stone, Len Thompson, Jack Waldron.

Noted Pianist Will Appear in Concert On November 15 Ignaz Friedman, the firfjt artist on the concert series of A. S. U. O., is scheduled for November 15. The Polish pianist has been ranked by leading musical critics of the United States, Europe and South America as the last of a cycle of great pianists of one coun try, including Paderewski, de Pach mann and Hofmann. Mr. Friedman has been acclaimed by newspaper erities of this coun try as a master of technique who combines skill with artistic inter pretation. His ability to play deli cate pianissimos and crashing fort issimos has led to numerous press comments upon the marked contrast in his playing. Ignaz Friedman’s first tour of the United . States was made in 1921. Previous to that he Won repu tation in continental Europe as a Chopin player and as an original composer.

School Get Help from Mentors — Twenty-eight freshmen, six of whom are freshmen women anil 22 freshmen men arc being benefited by the mentor system in the School of Business Administration this year. Those put under this system include freshmen getting a five or flunk in any of their courses. The mentors are selected from the up perclassmen in the school, and are usually members of one of the hon orary societies. The object, of the system is to help the student to get oriented. Many of the low grades of fresh men have been found resulting from maladjustment. It is the mentor’s duty to get acquainted with the freshman assigned to him and to study his particular case. He does not act so much as a tutor as an advisor. Ofter he can find difficul ties that the instructors never sus pect. The School of Business Adminis tration has been working with this system for five years and has found it to be very successful in solving the problems of the freshmen and in helping them to raise their grades: Main Library Has Advanced Students’ Seminar Collections Boom 30 in the main library is now being used as a place for as sembling seminar collections for advanced students. Books being used in French, Spanish, and ad vanced journalism courses have al ready been placed there and* ma terial for other subjects will soon follow. Students taking seminar go to this room to study the books desig nated by their instructors. InJpre vious years the material was placed on tables or on reserve. It is the opinion of M. II. Douglass, librar ian, that the' students will get a better chance to study all the books, instead of the few they, are able to see when they are placed on re serve. Mr. Douglas.s (thinks that this plan will be especially advan tageous tos.graduate students. Pledging Announcement Alpha Ornicron Pi announces the pledging of Phyllis Van Kimmell, of Houston, Texas.

Mayor Takes Rest in War to Save Chicago For America’s Heroes (By United Press) CHICAGO, Oct. 28.—Mayor Wil liam Hale Thompson leaned his lance in the corner and took off his armor for a rest today as a lull ap peared in the jousting lists, but U. J. Merman, yclept aiftong his cronies, “Sport,” worked tirelessly on. He read a book. So far as the campaign to save Chicago for American hero worship was concerned, proceedings were decidedly at an impasse. Not a book had been burned. The trial of William McAndrew, suspended superintendent of schools, charged with fostering pro-British propa ganda, stood adjourned until next month. The American Foundation, Mayor Thompson’s newly incorpor ate organization to make all Ameri cans better citizens, was inactive.

Junior College Will Bring No Change in Sports, Says V. Earl “Thr adaption of tho Junior Col lege system at the University of Oregon will bring about little change in the athletic program,” was tho opinion expressed in an in ‘ terview with Virgil D. Earl, direct or of athletics at the University., Mr. Earl, who keeps a close eliack on the pulse of athletic activity On the campus, thinks that the change in tho academic program may possi bly cause a few varsity aspirants to drop out of the running in the junior and senior years of attend ance. “But as nearly as I can de termine,” he Bays, “this change, if any, will be so negligible that the chances for success of any varsity team will in no way be impaired.” “I do think that the Junior Col lege system will so effectively stim ulate tho academic work in the Uni versity that any dropping out due to haphazard work will be more than offset by tho increase in the number of students who will be eli gible for varsity competition. Other than a possible slight pressure on Varsity aspirants, I do not think that the Junior College plan, when in force, will affect the athletic program of tho University in any Way, ” he concluded. Interclass Speedball To Start November 7 Speedball games for women will begin Monday, November 7. Only two practises will be held for each class next week.

Subscribe for the Emerald Frosh From North Touted To Be Strong Tubbv Graves Brings 23 Yearling Grnlsters On Oregou Trip Reinhart’s Men Plan To Repulse Invaders Griilgrapli Follows Tilt On Hayward Bv BARRY DUTTON Wlion Conch Billy Reinhart sends his squad of Webfoot ducklings out onto Hayward field at 1 p. m. to day, against, the invading freshman eleven from the University of Wash ington, football followers may well prepare themselves to witness a bat tle-royal. Neither coach is handing out any pre-game predictions as to the outcome of the struggle, but if the determined glint in Reinhart’s eyes or the knowing twinkle that sparkles from the optics of Coach Tubby Graves pan be read correctly it would suggest confidence of, both mentors in the abilities of their respective teams. Dope for Northerners Depositors give the advantage to the northern team. The Oregou frosh were trounced last Friday at Pendleton by the Cougar kittens, a team that is rated ns barely the equal of the Washington yearlings. The frosh, however, have shown im provement in this last week of prac tise and the team is primed for the contest today. The W'cbfooters realize that it is their big test. It is their only big game at Eugene and they are touted as the under dogs for the fracas. Knowing the prevailing feelings and apprehen sions of their supporters the frosh are keyed to go out on Hayward field, upset all the dope buckets, surprise fans, and annex the scalp of the young Huskies. Husky Frosh Worlkout The Washington frosh arrived iu Eugene yesterday and in the after noon Tubby Graves took them out on the field for a light workout, to loosen up their travel-stiff muscles. The team will have only a slight weight advantage over the Oregon babes. The starting lineup for tho purple squad will include, in the baekfield, Bob Buzard, quarter; Jerry Robinson and Ronald Johnson, halves, and Bill Gallagher, full. On the line will be Henry Wentworth and Tom Erdman, ends; Bill Marsh and Bob McDonald, tackles; Ivor Moo and Rollin Bowles, guards; with Warren Bnily, pivot man. Fo$ tho Webfoot ducklings, Rein hart plans on starting the diminu tive Bill Parke as the signal caller. Parke has been gotting the first call since his excellent showing ns a field general against Columbia University last Saturday. John Donohue goeff from the quarter posi tion to right half. Francis Hill, the red-headed flash, will face the in vaders from left half. Colbert at Tackle John Kitzmiller, the “brutal” blond, will assist at inverting the Huskies’ hopes from his old berth at full. On tire line Wood,ward Archer and Lyle Harrington start at end, George Christensen and Austin Colbert at tackles, Jerome Lillie and Ted Park at guards, aud George Chappell at, center. The principle changes in tho line are in the cases of Austin Colbert and Ted Park. Park, originally a center, has been shifted to a first string guard berth, taking Colbert’s place when the latter was given a tackle job.
