John War Beryl Hodgen jf,„ mid Horn pi- Dixon will be worn liv new men next year, but tlie suc ceeding quartet will not fight any harder than these four did in the annual game with the University of Washington last Thursday. Much tribute has been payed to these wearers of the coveted Lemon-yel low, who gave everything to bring victory. * * * The 7 lo 0 loss to'the Washington Huskies, though not an Oregon vic tory, leaves a sweet taste in the mouths of the Webfoot fans. It marks the beginning of the realiza tion of Coach John J. McEwan’s stylo of play. This fall saw a new system introduced on flic Oregon campus; the previous 'one being dis carded because of the new shift rule. The Turkey Day game witnessed the wide sweeping offensive of the Webfoots, mixed with deception, functioning perfectly for the first time this season. I Coach McEwan is still quite elated ’over the team’s showing. “The team played better against Washing ton than any other time this year. The rushing attack was good and the plays worked with precision. One of the nice things to watch was the tackling of the Oregon team. Ilodgon played a particularly fine game as did Wetzel, Warren and Dixon. Mason’s work, along with Woodie’s and Burnell’s, was out standing. Time after time Mason, who has been playing every position in the backfield, hit Captain Pat Wilson of the Huskies and shoved him back a yard or two,” he said. McEwan pointed out two things which helped account for the un favorable showing this season, First, the system of attack was new. Sec ouclly, what he claims was a “psy chic flop” helped keep the Wtebfoots at the bottom of the conference per centage column. “The team looked good against the Idaho team hut wore tired out when they met Cali fornia a week later. The students saw what the team could do in their ifirst conference tilt, so they were •keenly disappointed after the Bear game. The team immediately be came discouraged and it has taken [practically all season to get the squad out of the dumps,” remarked tlie big coach. * * * According to McEwan prospects look brighter for next year than any other time since he assumed head grid mentorship. “If the team keeps ji'P the rate they were going against Washington, things will look very good for next fall. We lose only tour lettermen and have some won ooiful material from this year’s freshman team to draw from.” The | aPtain plans to make very few | changes in the present system as he explained that there were plenty of stiong points when the style was Forking correctly. December 9 and 10 will see the oast Conference meeting in Port ■pd. Oregon has a tentative sched P” of six conference games to sub ( each McEwan would like to (Continued on page fourf E.

Consequently, both faculty women and co-eds will be given a stationary lesson on the side of the pool first, wielding a paddle and getting nOwherc. After that, they will be given-a canoe and set afloat on the waters at their own peril. If they show promise, the women will then be taught other tricks of the trade, such as boarding a c-anoc in the deepest water, unassisted by gal lantry, and another art called “gun waling,” which is a study in balance. In case the applicants have any energy left after that, the Amphib ians will show them how it is possi ble to pump stale air out of their comrades,' without the aid of a barrel. Art Objects on Sale for Fine Arts* Building Collection Includes Many Pieces Suitable for Christmas Gifts A large and beautiful collection of imported art objects, ranging from handsome tapestries and hand woven rugs to small brass novelties and pieces of jewelry, will bo on display and offered for sale this coming Thursday, Friday, and Sat urday, for the benefit of the Uni versity Fine Arts building. This sale is being sponsored by the Eugene branch of the American Association of University Women, and will be held at 1026 Willamette street. These importations have been made by Mrs. Ruth B. Wheeler, a graduate of the University of Ore gon, who lived in the Orient for 14 years. While there she bought Oriental art goods for a number of gift and importing shops in the United States. An especially large collection of small pieces suitable for Christmas gifts will be shown, such as lamp j shades, pottery in various sizes, ! brass antiques, and imported jew elry. Chinese embroidered linen will also be featured, as the present revolution in China led to heavy ex portation of these goods in order to prevent their confiscation or de struction by soldiers. At present the soldiers have occupied the workrooms from which Mrs. Wheeler buys her linen, and it is not known when more of this hand embroid ered linen can be secured. Tapestries from Europe, hand carved Italian walnut picture frames, Florentine gold leaf frames, breath blown glass from South America, scarfs of brilliant coloring woven by head hunters of the Phil ippines, will all form part of this display of imported goods.

League Keeps Liths, Poles F rom Fighting Break Looms Over Vilna, Seized hy Poland In 1920 Would Suck Russia Into War Whirlpool Minister Scores Rumor Of Revolt Plots (By United Press! j KOVNO, Lithuania, Nov. 28.—' War between Poland and Lithuania is unlikely because both nations be-f long to the League of Nations, Pre mier Minister Voldemaras declared ! tonight. He referred to the tense situation existing between Poland and hisj country ever since 1920 when the i Poles occupied Vilnn, which had' j been the constitutional capital of the ! Lithuanian state created by the League of Nations. Russia Would Fight The Prime Minister declared, how ever, that in the event of a Polono Lithuanian war, Russia could not rc I main neutral. | Voldemaras deprecated ' the al leged attempts of Poland to foment f internal rebellion in Lithuania.' These attempts, he said, were I doomed to failure. * Must Give Up Vilna l The Lithuanian dictator insisted— ! and this was his most emphatic point j—that no understanding with Po j land was possible without the return j of Vilna, which he said was an in tegral part of Lithuania, j Although Voldemaras still is in | power, despite the ultimatum of j military garrisons that he resign, i negotiations have been looking for j ward toward peaceful settlement of j internal political problems. ! -- Paralysis Rumor Is False, According to University Physician Thanksgiving came in for its round of casualties, as recorded by the list of infirmary patients, al not the though infantile paralysis has as yet made its appearance on University of Oregon campus. “It’s just one thing after an other in the case of ailments,” the nurse at the infirmary reports. “There ware only six patients who ate Thanksgiving dinner within the portals of the infirmary, though more arrived today—probably as a result of +no much turkey.” In the infirmary at present are: Vernon White, sophomore major in biology: Francis Mullins, freshman in business administration; Boyd Yoden, junior majoring in German; Stina Rommel, freshman major in education;T Gwendolyn Turner, freshman art major; Esther Cran dall, sophomore in education. Ver non Miller, sophomore majoring in economics, is rapidly improving from a bad case of pneumonia. Dr. Fred N. Miller, chief of the University health service, says that there is no truth in the persistent rumor going about the campus that there are from one to six cases of paralysis among the students. “My phone has been continually ringing,” Dr. Miller complained. “People ask about the ‘spread’ of infantile paralysis on the campus. Sunday a woman called me up and asked me if it were true that there was ‘another case’ of the malady. I’m getting tired of it. All the ru mors are unfounded so far as I know.” Dr. Boynton To Offer New Class in Physics A new class in general physics > (4 a, b, c), will be offered to stu dents entering the University at mid-year, or to those who wish to , commence physics at that time.

After having “brewed” for Sev eral weeks, the pudding was com pleted with the addition of several spices. Miss Lillian Tingle, who has supervised the production, iced and decorated the pudding and then handed it to the reporter, saying that the “moist fruit cake” was to be presented .to the editorial staff with her compliments. However, she made a special point of the fact that it was to as sume the title of “fruit cake” un til after it had been sampled. After so many compliments were made by the day editor, reporters, and pro cessors, it was difficult to tell them that the delicacy was the famous “mystery pudding” and not a cake, so they were left in ignorance of the true situation. O’Neil Tragedy To Be Seen First Time on Campus Constance Roth To Play Feminine Lead in Production For the first time in the history of the University a play by Eugene O’Neil is being prepared for pro duction. It, is “Beyond the Hori zon,” :jml will be given by the Guild Theater Players on December 1 and 2. “Beyond the Horizon” was the first full length tragedy ever writ ten by the now famous author of “Anna Christie,” “The Emperor Jones,” “The Hairy Ape,” and many other well known dramas, most of which have appeared en Broadway. Only one-net plays had been produced by his facile pen be fore the first appearance of “Beyond the Horizon.” In this play he wipes out the co incidences, the melo-dramatic notes, and the frailities of structure which mark the usual tragedy. It is a powerful and compelling piece of worky dealing in a straight-forward and frank fashion with the destruc tive action of time upon the char acter of a young man who makes the wrong decision at the most cru cial moment of his life. The central theme develops about the contrast of two brothers, Hubert and Andrew. Robert, the dreamer, the idealist, the adventurous, for sakes his plan for sailing to foreign countries to marry Ruth, a country girl with whom both the brothers have been in love. Everyone has thought her to be in love with An drew, the older brother. Ho is a more practical person, and the fam ily is surprised when ho sails in Robert’s place. From that time the plot develops rapidly. The leading roles are carried by Constanee Roth, as Ruth; Laurence Shaw, as Robert; and Cecil Matson, as Andrew. Tickets may be obtained from the box office in the afternoon or by .calling 142. They will be on sale at 50 and 75 cents.

Good Teams All four are the winners in their leagues and will play a merry go round tournament to settle diffi culties. A couple of torrid games are in store for today. Only one of the quartet has lost a game. The Betas dropped a close game to Delta Tau Delta the other day. The rest are undefeated. As the donut series progresses a few timid females (van be seen scat tered among the spectators. The}’’ are especially invited to the champ ionship round this week. In the old days the student body turned out in large numbers to view the donut basketball games. Times have changed considerably since then, but the spectators’ row is still heavily patronized when the championship is at stake. Kappa Sigs Have Edge Advance dope and comparative scores would jjfve Kappa Sigma the edge over the rest, but predicting is bad business and this reporter hesi tates to incriminate himself.
