Freshmen Grid Game Promises To Be Battle Royal

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.

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.

Flunking Freshmen
In B. A. 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.

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.

Geology Department
Departmental plans and problems
were discussed at. a meeting of the
geology professors of the campus,

D. Smith, head of the department,
has recently received a new geologi
cal map of South Africa. The map,

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

head of the sport, “if you wish to :
make a team.”
Next week will be spent in in
tensive class practise and signals
will be worked up. The sophomores i
are the only class which will have

Sigma Nils Win First
Polo Tilt from S. A. E.
Water polo is having rather a
tough session with all the “lost boy
hunts,” football trips and sundries
to cause absentees from the pool.
The first week of the polo schedule
is almost finished, with the Sigma
Nu’s winning a close victory from
the S. A. E.’s, the score being 1 to
0. The Sigma Nu’s were the cham
pions of the polo leagues in the
tourney for last season.
The Delt’s are matched with the
Sigma Chi team on Monday at 4
o ’clock.
The schedule for the second week
of the schedule follows:
Delts vs. Sigma Nu; Phi Psi vs.
S. A. E.; Phi Sigma vs. Sigma Chi.
The Kappa Sigmas have entered
a plea to join the tourney, it, is un
der consideration and the decision
will be given later.

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. Lillie’s recent showing
