/ < 75 Footballs Used During Past Grid Season Huskies'1 Daily Expenses Average $1,417.72; Equipment Item High By mm at; n it. syring Sports Editor. College football ns now played be fore tliousnnds of rabid fans in volves a colossal financial arrange niont. To finance a college foot ball season it now takes thousands of dollars, whereas a few years ago, a few footballs, 15 or IS grid out fits would suffice, a team through out* its. scheduled games. The fecent football season just ended at the University of Oregon saw a much larger use of equip ment than ever before. It took 75 footballs to carry the Webfoot gridsters through the 1927 season. This is an average of one and one quarter pigskin ovals for each day of this year’s campaign which to taled an even (10 days, excluding Sundays. Ninety new pairs of shoes adorned the feet of McEwan’s gridiron war riors. Twenty-five new pairs of football pants and a ^iko number purchased at the close of the 1920 season helped clothe the Lemon yellow players. Jerseys, which this year were changed to a solid emerald green, totaled 90, twenty-five being lightweight Lille cotton ones pur chased for the Stanford game at Palo Alto. Twenty-five additional headgears were obtained along with numerous pads, socks, etc. Although the University of Ore gon grid squatf, was ipne of the smallest in the conference, it can be readily seen that a young fortune is required to carry on a foothall season. Oregon’s grid equipment will run into thousands of dollars but figures given out by the Uni versity of Washington show that it takes $1,417.72 a day during the grid year. From the time the Husky pigskin warriors of the University of Wash ington began practise September 15, until the final game this Saturday with the University of Southern California Trojans at Los Angeles, a total of $112,000 will have been expended for football. The total sum allowed in the foot . ball budget includes salaries of the coaching staff and trainer, cost of equipment, upkeep of field and training quarters, traveling ex penses for the Huskies to appear in games in foreign fields in the Pa cific Coast conference and costs of bringing rival lineups to Seattle. The $112,000 budget does, however, include a $5,000 outlay which has been made to complete a second prac tise field. The equipment item it self will amount to over $12,000. Basketballs were flying thick and fast on the large floor of McArthur Court last night. Eighty hoopsters, both varsity and freshmen, were re ceiving their preliminary work. This is probably the largest number I of hoop ringers ever to turn out for one basketball practise in the his tory of the University. Four addi tional baskets on the sides of the court make six nets available for varsity and freshman courtmen. Volleyball Games Won By Senior Women The seniors seemed to have a lucky streak last night, or perhaps j it was skill, for the senior first team in volleyball defeated the I sophomore first, 59 to 25; the senior J third topped the sophomore third, j 65 to 39, while the senior seconds I lost their game with the sophomore ■ seconds by one point, 37 to 38, in I the iuterclass games for women yes terday. The junior seconds won their game with the freshman second, 41 to 36; the freshman third trounced the junior third, 36 to 22, and the freshman first lost to the junior' first, 45 to 47. * Six More Issues of Emerald This Term The last issue of the Emerald for this term will be Wednesday of next week, according to Bob Galloway, managing editor. It is necessary to put out those two papers next week because of the business viewpoints. ; The first issue of the paper next term will be out January 7. “Every member of the staff is urged to work hard right up till the paper goes to press Tuesday night,” says Galloway, “for we will check up on every member and they will be judged accordingly, as there are plenty of students who are looking for jobs on the Emerald next term.”] Cal Cool id ge Slates Im « Confab With G.%% Party Hoads %% - *** ° 'tod Press) * WAR ITT: <§ *2. , D. 0., Nov. 29.— Word from % Thito House flint President Cc % will address flue wf Republican al committee when it meets lext week has put the nation! ’ol keenly.on edge ht the ope 1 the biggest political year sine .‘nr.

Edict Issued Regarding Mailing of Packages Officials of the University Depot wish to draw to the attention of , the students a recent bulletin issued from the office of the postmaster general. This bulletin states that all previously used postage stamps ! and postal indorsements from a | previous mailing must be removed from laundry cases or other con tainers before they will be accepted for mailing again. It also stated j that re-use on such containers of reversible address cards or other labels bearing old ^postal stamps, etc., exposed on the address side, is not permissible. New cards or labels should be used in all cases ■ unless the old stamps are carefully removed before the matter is pre sented for mailing. The depot officials wish the stu dents would attend more carefully i to this matter, as all extraneous matter must be torn off by them bjfore the packages can be sent otit, thus causing an unnecessary waste of time. World League Meets Today ToTalkArms Pole-Litli Rumpus To Come Up Before Conclave For Settlement Europe War Armaments Are Paramount Issue - • Russia and France Stand By Two ‘Game Cocks’ (By United Press) GENEVA, Nov. 29.—The Longue of Nations, with the United States and Russia represented partially, will begin tomorrow a vital two weeks discussion of disarmament and high politics on which the peace, of Europe may depend. The League’s preparatory disarm ament commission meets tomorrow with Minister Hugh I). Gibson at Berne, representing the United States and a big delegation repre senting Russia. To Chop Out Guns Its business is to discuss the next negotiatory step—and the first real one—toward bringing Europe’s arm aments down from war level. The League council, or governing body will mo.et next week while the disarmament commission is sitting. The council’s business will be pri marily to take up the appeal of Lithuania against aggression by Po land, which she fears. Seek Salve for PoleS Effort will be made to effect an agreement between Poland and Lith uania, and end the grave threat of trouble, ever present since Poland’s seizure of the Vilna district, several years ago. It seemed so near a few days ago to precipitating a war in which Russia and France—and p'er haps most of the world—would have been involved. Russia is deeply and openly inter ested, on Lithuania’s side, in the Polish affair. France is Poland’s ally, pledged to support her if she is attacked. -i Emerald Bilsipess Staff Banquets; Professional Advertising Men Speak A banquet at the Anchorage last night marked the first of a series of “educational meetings” to be j held this year by the Emerald staff.

Thacher chapter of Alpha Delta Sigma on this campus, spoke on the subject of “Why the Eugene business man uses the Em erald as an advertising medium.” William Hammond, in his topic,-J, “How best to sell Emerald adver- i tising,” emphasized the fact that j the Emerald is now recognized as , a real and valuable advertising me- j dium by Eugene business firms, i With that fact in mind, they are j increasing their Emerald. advertis- j ing appropriations each ye,y. Mr. Alton Baker’s topie was “Fundamentals in Advertising j Salesmanship.” Mr. Baker stressed the importance of gaining the con- , fidence of business men before at j tempting to sell them advertising. During Jiis talk he reminisced of his own former college dtoys Jon the Cornell Sun. “Your greatest ex perienees_ in advertising salesman ship are being discovered right here, j selling for the Emerald,” he said. — Dr. Heymans Leaves For California Today j This morning Dr. Corneille Hey mans, professor of pharmacology, University of Ghent, Belgium, will ; leave Eugene for San Franclpeo, j where he will give the series of j lectures that he has been giving to i the Oregon chapter of Sigma Xi, and American chemistry society.

This present will be a complete four-year university education at the University of Oregon. Recently a business man of Port land who declined to give his name, called up Earl M. Pallet!, registrar of the University, and wanted to know “how much it. cost to go.to the University.” “You mean how much it costs a year?" lie was asked. “No, I want to know how much it. costs for four years,” was the reply. “I am going to give one of the boys up here a complete col lege education for a Christmas present.” The donor of this unique gift was told that student expenses were estimated at between $,">00 and $750 per year, depending upon courses taken, and the mode of living.

Senator Borah Vehement in His Anti-Rum Talking Ameml to Volstead Law Impossible, Solon Tells Audience (By United Press) NEW HAVEN, Conn., Nov. 29.— Senator William E. Borah, advocate of a. strict prohibition enforcement plank in tho 1928 Republican na tional platform, told an audience here last night lie believed the con vention would vote “to uphold the constitution.” “Control your delegates at the coming convention, assert your power and you will win,” ho said. “You cannot tell me that there are more men in this country who do not believe in law enforcement than there are that do.” Senator Borah was bitter in his denunciation of “nullification” of the prohibition laws ‘.through re fusal of politicians to enforce exist ing legislation. “You can’t amend the Volstead Act so as to satisfy the people who want to break the amendment,” the senator said. “They will not be satisfied with the added aroma. That would not satisfy President Butler and Senator Wadsworth, for whom I have the profoundost respect.” (By Pacific Intercollegiate Press) NEW YORK, Nov. . 29.—William H. Stayton, chairman of the Asso ciation Against the Prohibition Amendment, asked financial support frotfi .'100 Republican “wets” last night for a $3,000,000 campaign fund to conduct a national refer endum on prohibition.

Crouch, associate justice of the appellate division of the New York supreme court, who spent some time in Eugene last summer, has presented the law school library with a copy of “The First Report of the Commission on Practise and Pleadings,” Edward IT. Pecker, pro fessor of law, said yesterday. “This is the report of a commis sion appointed by the governor of New York in 18-18 for the purpose of drafting a new code of procedure for that state,” Mr. Ijeekcr said. “The chairman of the commission was David Dudley Field, and the code that was reported to and adopted by the legislature is com monly known as the Field code. This formed the first step in the direction of procedual reform in this country and became the model which was adopted by more than half the states in the union, in cluding Oregon. The book is one that is very hard to obtain and is valuable because of its rarity and historical association.” The book was published by the New York state printer in 1848.

At the end of the first half the Kappa Sigs were leading by a score of 10 to t> and it looked as though they would have things their own way. The Sphinx found its shooting eye and began to drop tiro ball in the hoop at the start of the second half. Six points were gained by the Sphinx in the first two minutes of the final period. From then on the game was tight but in the closing minutes the Sphinx rallied and made the winning tallies. Beta’s Win Easily Beta Theta Pi won an easy and effortless victory from the Sigma Nil's. The score at the finish of the encounter was 29 to 8 in favor of the Beta’s. The Sigma Nu forwards seemed to have difficulty in getting close enough to shoot. Austin Col bert, guard for the Beta’s, was the outstanding performer of thtj* battle. The Sphinx win over the Kappa Sigs came as a surprise to the dope j fans. Kappa Sigs were slated to ! enjoy an easy victory but through i their ability to miss the hoop in the last period of the game they gained their first defeat of the intramural season. The Sphinx team had plenty of chances to shoot during the game but during the first half they missed most of them. When the eyes of the Sphinx for wards finally became accustomed to the steel ring, the ball began to drop at regular intervals. Kappa Sigs were able to make a counter most of the time that they had the bail in their possession which, however, wasn’t very often due to the excel lent floor work of the Sphinx guards and center. Sphinx to Meet Beta’s , The game between the Beta’s nml the Sphinx Thursday, December 1, should be one of the best staged in intramural circles for some time. Sphinx have the ability to keep on fighting when they are points be hind-and they might prove to be a thorn in the side of the Beta’s. How ever, the Beta's have good team work and show a smart brand of basketball. The games yesterday did not elim inate the losers entirely. The Kappa Sigs will meet the Sigma Nil’s Thursday the same day as the game between Beta’s and Sphinx. The dope favors the Kappa Sigs slightly but. if the Sigma Nu*S show some of their speed and power that served to beat the contenders in leage D the game will bo close.

Fear Nciv Gang W ar In Chicago as High Chieftain Flees City (Py United Press) CHICAGO, Nov. 2!).—While po lice pondered over (lie sudden and mysterious departure of “Searfaee Al” Capone, gangster leader, on a "hunting trip,” bomb warfare for control of the city’s vice continued unabated. The two newest explosions were in a restaurant and a soft drink parlor, both said to be owned by Jack Zutn, one of Capone’s minor enemies and rivals. Meanwhile, the sudden departure of Capone, overlord of Chicago 1 gambling, had police perplexed. Friends said his life had been j threatened recently and, fearing for his safety, he has left for the north I woods on a deer and bear hunt. Police were inclined to believe j the unprecedented absence of Ca pone during war times presaged a new outburst. Beelar and Biggs Meet Cambridge On Floor Monday International Debates Are Gaining Popularity; Fourth Here It will .be the fourth time at Hu gone, the fifth time in the United 1 States, and the tenth or eleventh time in the world that the Uni versity of Oregon has participated in an international debate, when Donald Beelar and Hugh Biggs mount the stage with two boys from Cambridge next Monday night at the# Methodist church. Oregon’s first international de bate took place in 1!>24, when the University of British Columbia came to Kugene and was defeated by Oregon by a judges’ decision. Oregon upheld the affirmative of the question of recognizing the Russian Soviet government. Later in the same year the three man team from Oxford University, which was touring the country, came to Eugene and met the Ore gonians on the question of the de sirability of the initiative, refer endum, and recall. At that time the Englishmen first introduced here the informal -style of debate that has since increased in popu larity. Oregon won the debate by the vote of the audience. in the tall ot i92b a debarn team from the University of Sidney, Australia, came to Oregon for two contests. In the first, held in Eu gene on the question of the desira bility of a cabinet form of govern ment for tho United States, the Australians, taking the affirmative, won by the vote of the audience. A few days later Oregon won from tho invaders in a radio debate in Portland on the desirability of the prohibition amendment. Donald Beelar, who will speak Monday night, was a member of the Oregon team in the first debate, and Jack Hempstead and Benoit MeOroskey, now on the world debate tour, par ticipated in the second. The history of international de bate in the United States is com paratively short. In the spring of 1922 a team from Bates College, Lewiston, Maine, crossed tho At lantic and met Oxford in the first international forensic contest. The debate was so successful that an Oxford team came to America in the fall of the same year, debating several other American universities in addition to Bates. In 102.') and 1021 Oxford returned to the United States, and in 1025 Combridge came for tho first time. The first debate team outside of England to visit the United States was that of the University of Sid ney, Australia, which toured the country last fall. Columbia University sent a de bate team to England in 1022, Col gate sent one in 1921, and Bates returned to Europe in 1025. A Uni versity of Michigan debating team visited Great Britain last spring. The longest tour ever undertaken by a debate team is now being made by the University of Oregon. Three Oregon boys, Benoit McCros kev, Avery Thompson, and Jack Hempstead, are making a trip around the world, debating in all English speaking countries. Composer Gives Set Of Works to Library Robert Elmer Smith, author and composer, has given a complete set of his published works to the Uni versity library. Eaeh of the num bers is aceonrpaoied with an appro priate pastel sketch and synopsis, which, together with the lyric, i! lustrate, portray, and explain why it was composed or written. O’Neill Drama Will Be Given December 1,2 Laurence Shaw /Portrays Leading Masculine ,, Role in Play Feminine Lead Taken By Constance Roth --»— Juanita Babbit Plans Sets For Guild Hall “Beyond tlio Itorifton,” liv Ku gene O’Neill, makes its first ap pear a nee on the pampas Thursday and Friday of this week at the Guild theater. It is the first pro duction of the year to be given by the Guild Theater Flayers, “The Swan,” November 17 and IS, hav ing been put on by the class in technique of acting. Constance Both creates the lead ing role of Ruth Atkins, first, a capricious country girl and then a nagging, irritable and quick-tem pered wife. This change takes place gradually over a spnco of eight years and requires careful de lineation of character. The leading man’s role, that of Robert Mayo, idealistic and ro mantic boy, who becomes a slothful dreamer and later a sick and dis illusioned man, is played by Lau rence Shaw. Matson Older Brother Cecil Matson portrays the older brother, Andrew Mayo, who is more practical and less a wanderer at heart than Robert. Edna Assenheimer ns Mrs. Alt kins and Gordon Stearns as Cap tain Dick Scott create character roles which, form an integral part of the plot. It is to such characters that the soil and the sea give birth and it is the contrast of them which forms tho atmospheric background of “Beyond the Horizon.” This drama, which was the first full length play written by tho author of “Moon in the Carribeas” and “lie,” is a tragedy of the soil and the ravages of time upon a constitution unfitted for tho stag nation of farm life. Atmosphere Created by Set Tlio severe and almost morbid atmosphere of the piny is jieing carried out by Juanita Babbit, in the exterior stage settings which she has designed and is executing for the coming production. Miss Babbit, a freshman major in the school of architecture and allied arts, is making the settings from an original sketch based on the stage directions given in the manuscript of the play, with cer tain adaptations to the require ments and limitations of the theater in which it is to bo given. The two settings portray a hill top in the barren and severe New Englund country near the ocean. One is colored to represent late morning and the other is tinged with the hues of sunset. The cen tral feature of the scene is a huge, gnarled, apple tree, which looks as if it had been much blown by sea winds. Miss Florence E. Wilbur, director of the play, says: “The tree is very romantic. Every student would love to know its location. It is both colorful and interesting. “I think the settings are charm ing and the work which has been done is delightful. Miss Babbit has caught so fairly the mood of Eugene O’Neill.” The remainder of the east for the drama includes: Mrs. Mayo, Dor alis May; James Mayo, Gordon Pefley; Mary, Ard'ine Blair; Ben, Arthur Anderson; and Dr. Fawcett, Lynn Black. Daisy Belle Parker Appointed Organist Miss Daisy Belle Barker, 27, has just been selected as organist for the First Baptist church, according to an announcement made by the music committee of the congrega tion. Miss Parker is a member of the Mu Phi Epsilon, women’s musi cal honorary, and majored in music while on the campus. During her senior year she held the Mu Phi scholarship in organ.
