4Giant Killer’ by Davis,
Month’s' Best Book,
Now On Co-op Shelf
A shipment of the latest books
has just been received at the Co-op
by Marion F. McClain, manager.
One of the most interesting books
in the shipment is “Giant Killer”
by Elmer Davis, author of “Show
Window” and other popular novels.
“Giant Killer” was selected by the
editorial committee of the American
Booksellers association as the most
distinguished book for the month of
October.
The editorial committee of the
American Booksellers association is
composed of: Harry Hansen, literary
critic of the New York World; Jos
eph Margolies, head buyer of the
Bretano stores; Marion Dodd, presi
dent of the Hampshire Book Shop;
Dr. Will Durant, philosopher and
critic, and Inez Haynes Irwin, fa
mous novelist.
Glenway Westcott’s latest produc
tion, “Goodbye Wisconsin,” is also
in the list of books received. Other
books in the group are: “Annie
Spragg,” by Louis Bromfield;
“Moses,” by Louis Uutermeyer;
“Hunger Fighter,” by Paul do
Kruif, whom many will remember
as author of “Microbe Hunters”;
“The New Temple,” by Johan
Bojer, this book is a sequel to
“Great Hunger.” One of the most
popular books in the lot, according
to Marion F. McClain, should be A.
J. Milne’s “The House at Pooh
Corner.”
H. G. Wells is represented with
his latest work, “The Open Con
spiracy.” There is a book by Clive
Bell, titled “Civilization.” In this
book Bell sets out to find what lies
at the root of civilization. Docs ho
find out—well that’s the question.
A book of poems by Edna St. Vin
cent Millay, “The Buck in the
Snow,” is also in the list. This is
the first book of poems written by
Miss Millay in five years.
Another very popular book in the
list is D. B. Wyndham Lewis’s
“Francis Villon.” This book was
selected by the Literary Guild as the
outstanding book of September. It
has had great popularity all over
the country.
Freshmen Wain,fin Tq J
Be Assistants to Hostess
Freshmen women will act as sub
stitutes for Mrs. Elizabeth Wilson,
hostess of the Woman’s building, to
relieve' her from duty on Monday
and Friday afternoons, and Tuesday
evenings.
This is being arranged by Bca
Milligan who is in charge of the
activities at the Woman’s building.
The alphabetical list of women’s
organizations will be followed and
several girls will be assigned for
duty.
Starting this week, the plan will
continue throughout the year and
each house or organization will be
responsible for having freshmen in
attendance at the building.
This system has been employed in
previous years and found to be
satisfactory.

Special Trains to Oame
The secrecy of Oregon’s attack is
one of McEwan's chief hopes of
defeating the Huskies. The only
information handed out by the Web
foot mentor is that the style of
play will be highly diversified. The
Oregon passing attack was effective
j againptt the (Cardinals, and since
then the running plays have been
developed. ' The combination of
these has given Oregon a stronger
team this year than in several sea
sons.
Special trains for the game have
been arranged for Oregon students,
and practically the whole student
body will be in Portland, for the
| game. Accompanying the team Fri
| day will be: John J. Mo Ewan, Gone
[Vidal, and Dick Heed, coaches; Wil

Dr. McGovern, following his dis
covery, was compelled to surrender
himself to the Tibetan authorities,
yet it was the very man lie feared
most, the Delai Lama or supreme
Buddhist Pontiff, who finally was
instrumental in providing his escape
from the bloodthirsty Tibetans.
The Tibetans observe some queer
customs, of which Dr. McGovern
will tell. The women are the lead
ers of the country and can have as
many husbands as they like, these
husbands being devoted slaves.
The ceremony for the deceased is
simply to take the dead body to the
outskirts of the town, cut it all up
and feed it to the dogs and birds.
Tibetans never wash from the day
they are born until the day they die.
The country is filled with huge
monasteries but the monks have
very individual ecclesiastical no

The natives consume from one to

This tea is a sorry mixture of stale

Joe Kalisky W ins
From Don Ragen in
Donut Tournament
Tho dope bucket lost its custo
mary state of equilibrium in the
donut tennis series yesterday. Mot
only did it splash over a bit but
aided by a little shove from the
tennis racket of Joe Kalisky the
time-honored pail toppled over com
pletely.
Thus Don Ragen, Portland court
flash, fell before the terrific on
slaught of the Eugene boy and caus
ed the big upheaval. Up until yes
terday Ragen had been one of the
ruling favorites to go into the final
rounds. The scores of the hectic
sessions were 4-6. 8-6, and 6-4.
Entering the match as the weaker
man, Kalisky dropped the first set
but then settled down to work and
finally got the edge on Ragen for
the second set. In the final canto
he finished the job and ended Rag
en ’s chance tp enter the semi-finals.
The other two matches went off
as was expected with Bob Hoogs
having little trouble in overcoming
Clayton Heiberg 6-1 and 6-1. Marsh
Hopkins took two straight sets from
Boone Hendricks 6-1 and 6-3.
By his victory yesterday Hoogs
went inro the semi-finals in the
upper bracket, and Gord Jason and
Kalisky took their places as semi
finalists in the lower group.
The other man to get into the
semi-finals will be determined to
day when Hopkins and MacLaren
meet at 2 o’clock. Hoogs will meet
the winner of this match at 4 for
the right to enter the finals. The
other scheduled match for today is
also at 2 p. m. when Jason and
Kalisky vie for the finalist position
in the lower half.
The doubles tournament for var
sity and frosh squads which was
originally dated for Thursday will
nQt begin until the first of next
week. This was decided yesterday
by Coach E. E. Abercrombie be
cause most of the participants would
be in Portland attending the Ore
gon-Washingt/on game this week
end.

“There are very few women in

on, “but more and more are attend

Mr. Centeno has been in America 1
less than a year, and knew no Eng
lish on arrival, but he now speaks
quite fluently. “But I cannot un
derstand many of your slang words,”
he said. “ There are so many of

athletic teams of any kind. Nearly
all athletics arc sponsored by clubs,
to which the students may belong
by the payment, of a small sum each
month. In fact there is practically
none of what you call ‘campus life.’
The universities are located in the
centers of the great cities, and have
no campuses such as nearly all Eng
lish and American universities have.
“But the American influence is
tending to change these conditions.
Just now a sum is being raised- in
Spain by popular subscription to
move the University of Madrid to
the suburbs of the city, where a
campus may be developed.”
When asked just, what medium
carried what he called “American
influence” into Spain, he laughed
and said, “It is your movies. Near
ly all movies shown in Spain arc
American, and the Spaniards are as
familiar with Greta Garbo, John
Gilbert, and Douglas Fairbanks as
the Americans are.”
Mr. Centeno took his degree in
medicine at the University of Ma
drid. Last year he studied bacteri
ology at the University of Wiscon
sin. His brother is a Spanish in
structor at Princeton.
“I believe I will like this Oregon
country,” he said. “The climate is
very much like that of northern
Spain, where I come from. You see
there it rains very much.”
