VOLUME XXX UNIVERSITY OF OREGON EUGENE THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 9.9 132S NUMBER 36 Oregon Squad Prepares For Grizzly Game Webfoot Expected To Run I p Big Score on Grizzly After Saturday Showing Light Practices To Re Used hy Coacli McEwan Last Night’s Session Mostly Spent Running Signals For Hip first time since Oregon's fighting varsity upset flip dope and trounced the Oregon Aggies, Coach Mel*!wan last night put his charges through a full-time workout. Although the big green setuad loosened up its sore muscles and took out some of the kinks by romp ing a round Hayward field on Tues day afternoon, yesterday was the first of the scries of practices which are to precede the Homocoming fray with the Montana outfit. The varsity took it fairly easy last night and did not partake in any form of intensive scrimmage. Because of the tough tussle with the Stators last week it is likely that, a real hard series of scrimmages Would result, in an overtrained con dilioy and besides that the injuries Would not have a chance to heal. McEwan is satisfied that his team will do bettor work this Saturday if they are not, worked too hard in practice. A little period of rest should do 1 he men a lot of good after such a hard game, and put them on edge to gnaw some Grizzly meat. Light scrimmage for tlio linomon mill a little passing for flip backs was a part of last night's menu. Punting had its place on the day’s list too, blit by far the most of the time was spent in signal practice. The Oregonians drilled their vari ous plunging and deception plays over time and time again until they were run off smoothly and with no signs of raggedness. McEwan has built up a powerful, well-balanced eleven this year and this was displayed in the Aggie game. Such strength surpassed the hopes of all but the most optimistic on this campus. As far as the game with the Mon tana team is concerned the victory is conceded to Oregon. The Aggies took the Grizzlies into camp by a big count and now that the Oregon* eleven has conquered Schissler’s men, it seems likely that the Web feet will be oil the long end of a pretty big score when the game is finished. Of course, it ca-nnot be expected that, the game with Montana would have the same psychological effect upon an Oregon team as an Oregon Aggie game would. There is a chance that the green-shirts will play rather listless hall. Or again it may bo that the con fidence that comes by taking a. vic tory like that of last Saturday will just serve to urge them on to more impressive wins. Now that they have found their true strength it is possible that a big score will be run up to boost the record for the year. No matter what the dutcome, a Homecoming contest is always one of the main drawing cards of the year, and the Grizzlies are always a fighting team. There is always the chance that anything may happen. Underwent Perils To Aid Collection Mrs. Warner To Relate I Story of Art Exhibit Tlio ninny dangers undergone to secure (lie beautiful oriental art collectioon now in the Warner Mu seum of Oriental Arts in the Wom an’s building will he told the stu dents today at 11 o’clock in the women’s gymnasium by Mrs. Mur ray Warner, donor of the museum and noted traveler and art collector. Mrs. Warner, Gertrude Hass then, went to China with her brother, John Bass, a war correspondent, at the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese war. Iu Shanghai they met Major Warner, who had been a friend of i Robert Buss at the Boston Institute ! of Technology. The friendship of Miss Bass and Major Warner, which started with their interest in art, led to their marriage. Airs. Warner started her first col lection of oriental art objects soon after her marriage when she and Major Warner were traveling into the inland of China, on their house boat. When they returned to Shang hai, Mrs. Warner put her collection into what she called her “play room,” which was on the third story of her house. Again Shows Collection When the Warners returned to the United States in 1910, Mrs. Warner again set up her collection of curios, this time in San Ifran (Continued on I’ugc Two) Today Last Day To Buy Oregana Says Ron Hubbs Big Sales Needed if It Is To Be Kept, Says Manager of Yearbook Today tells the talc. If tlie sales committee, in its last valiant spurt of a three-day sub scription drive for the Oregana, brings the total of sales up to 1900 —there will be a 192S yearbook. Otherwise, the publication will be discontinued this year, and possibly permanently. “It’s dubious.-7 With this curt phrase Ron Ilubbs, manager of the Oregana, summed up the situation, as it looks before the final drive today. “Sales did not go very well on the campus yesterday. To put it over, things must hum today.” Urges Second Thought Urging students to stop a minute to consider just what the Oregana actually means to the school—and what its loss would mean, one mem ber of the committee said, “Students have got to stop being too busy— or too lazy—and think what’s hap pening. The Oregana fills a defi nite helpful place in student life. It is no idle memory book—it’s a definite record, a source of infor mation, and a means of ‘telling the world’ about Oregon. It would be a mighty loss to us. Let’s come out of the daze and save the book today. Students May Want It Yet “Just because the students voted against putting the book on their fees is certainly no indication that there isn’t student interest,” the committee member added. Joshua Alexander and James (Continued on Page Tuo) Edith Abbott Finds fJust Folks’ Most Interesting Thing In All Her Work Thela Sigma Phi National Secretary Visits Here The most interesting thing in all the world to Miss Edith Abbott, of Spokane, national secretary of Theta Sigma Phi, women’s journalism hon orary, who spent Wednesday in Eugene as the guest of Theta chap-, ter, is —“just folks.” “Contact with other people is the; most enriching thing a person ever! gets from his work,” declared Miss j Abbott, who in addition to her posi-1 tion of nationwide scope, is on tiic > staff of three agriculture journals i published in Spokane, the Oregon, Idaho and Washington Farmers. “It makes so much difference in any work whether you go at it for | the stipend or for the real love of your job,” went on the secretary. “How your college education is going to benefit you depends en tirely on yourself,” was the advice Miss Abbott had for,students. “Too' often students expect too much in salaries when they first enter the business world; they are unwilling to begin on humble salaries and work up; consequently they miss many of their best opportunities,”, she continued. Asked what women's opportunities, iii tho news world were, Miss Abbott was a bit reticent to term the chances of tho feminine journalist ■rosy.” “For writing, yes, I would say their chances are good, but— though I don’t want to appear to be discouraging women—I’ll have to say it is a task for them to gain a place in the newspaper field. There are so many things to be considered; the field is crowded and many city papers have little demand for wo men' reporters.” It is to the field of smaller cities and towns that Miss Abbott pins her hopes for members of her sex in the vocation. “If you are out for the love of the game, you’ll get just as much as a city reporter, and then you won’t be so limited to ‘ cut-and-dried ’ work and your as sociations will be more pleasant,” the Theta Sigma Phi officer said. And then, as the subject of jour nalism as a vocation was resumed, Miss Abbott pointed out that the small town field of work had in the past proved excellent training for both men and women reporters and had produced many of the best known journalists of the day.

Bonfire Work Must Be Done During Day Emergency Calls Issued By Anderson for Frosli An emergency cull for nil frosh m.'in men conies from Desmond An derson, clinirmnn of tlie frosli bon fire, and this call must be answered immediately and wholeheartedly or there will be a very serious hitch in the plans for the frosli bonfire. A sudden university ruling that no work on the “O” may lie done after 0 o’clock in the evening means a great deal of extra work on the part of every member of the class. Due to the flu epidemic on the cam pus and in its vicinity, the doctors here believe it unwise for men to stay in the open air all night. The | weather is cold anil damp and might j cause a decided increase of illness ' on the campus. “Every man who does not have j 8:00 o’clocks Thursday morning is urged to be up on the butte by 8:00 and to bring hammers, nails, and other such materials with him,” An derson said. “It will lie necessary for us to work steadily from 8:00 in the morning until 0:00 at night to finish our work. “Lunch and dinner both will be served to the men up on the hill and it will not even bo necessary for them to go into town to eat. We are sure of having the cooperation j that we have had from all those i loyal members of the class, and we suggest that those who have not al ready helped be plenty useful Thursday and Friday.” A selected group of especially strong, healthy men will be allowed to guard the “O” at night, but all others must do their work in the daytime. Meetings on Campus Must Be Scheduled Students and faculty members wishing to meet after school hours in various campus buildings must secure permission from Miss Ger trude Stephenson, of the registrar’s office, it was announced yesterday. The only exception to this rule is the Woman’s building, the privilege for the use of which must be secur ed from Mrs. Wilson, who has an office at that building. The reason for this new rule is, Miss Stephenson stated, that various groups have been trying to use the same rooms at once and a great deal of confusion has been caused. To avoid this all groups must first schedule their meetings beforehand. Dr. Taylor To Diseuss Psyehologic Argument I)r. Howard F. Taylor, professor of psychology, will speak on “Kid lev's Reply to Spearman” at the meeting of the Psychology club to be held this evening at 7:30 at the home of Dr. Seashore, professor of psychology, 958 21st Ave. E. Dr. Taylor will refiew two recent books, “Abilities of Man” by Carl i Spearman of the University of Lon ! don, and “Crossroads in the Mind ; of Man” by T. L. Kelley of Stan : ford, giving the essence of the ar gument between the two writers on mental organization. Campus All Set Fur Homecoming Dance at Igloo Campus Chords To Play j As Whole University Does llie ‘Varsity Drag’ Everything is in readiness for the big Homecoming dance at the Igloo Saturday night, according to Tom Stoddard, chairman of the function. And, if the sale of tickets is an indication, everyone’s friends will be there—meaning of course, that no one is missing 1 his chance of getting the dirt on any throat-cutting that happens to he going on. Music will be furnished by Billy Sicvcr’s “Campus Chords,” who will play a number of new arrangements by Billy O’Bryant, former campus harmony expert. The floor will be in perfect condition by the time the doors open, and refreshments will he not only novel, but entirely in keeping with the spirit of Home coming, according to Jim Haley, chairman of the refreshments com mittee. An informal open house will be held for alumni in the main entrance of the new men’s dormitory between llie hours of 8:110 and 9:.'!0. This has been arranged in place of the reception previously 'Ordered, and will give visiting grads a chance to inspect Oregon’s newest and finest building.

Smith, head of the geology depart ment, to serve on the geographers’ board of the society with Dr. Charles K. Edmunds, president of Pomona college; W. W. Oreutt, executive vice-president of the Union Oil company of California, and Emilio Murillo Ordonez, dean of geography, 0 d.-gio Nacional, Cuenca, Ecuador. He was also asked to recommend several geographers living in tho Pacific coast states of tiie United States, Hawaii, and Mexico. The Pacific Geographic society has been organized during the last year for the purpose of furthering scientific research in t he Pacific littoral. It will begin publishing a magazine sometime in the future, [according to Professor Smith, Baseball Team Eves Summer Japan Tour Benefiel Tells of Hurdles Tlial May Cancel Hopes Willi prospects of a. championship baseball team for Oregon this spring, the eves of the varsity horschide clouters have turned toward trips abroad as a summer diversion. At a meeting of the baseball let tornien held yesterday with .Tack Benefiel, graduate manager, plans for the coming season with its 1 (i gamo schedule were discussed and the question brought up of a trip to Hawaii or Japan next summer if they succeed in capturing the north west title as they did this spring, j Benefiel explained the requirements! before a team could hope to make a tour and declared that ho would do all within his power to bring about one for Billy Reinhart’s ball hawks if they deliver the goods. The University of California, is also planning an invasion of Nippon in July, 1029. I Oregon's Rifle Team R eeei v es Chall en ge From U. of W. Squad A challenge is issued Oregon’s rifle team by the University of Washington riflemen through their graduate manager, according to Captain Bragg, coach of Oregon’s marksmen. Washington wants to schedule ad shoulder to shoulder match to lake place some time in March 1929 on the University of Oregon rifle range. The teams are to be composed of five men and the match to be shot under official intercollegiate rules. The ‘rifle tenm at the University of Washington has a minor sport rating, and their manager is evi dently under the impression that Oregon’s team has a like rating, according to the tone of their chal lenge. ,! Captain Bragg said that he can see no reason why his team should not be given a minor sport rating on this campus. There are several eastern colleges, he stated, that have given the sport a major rating, j and there are others who see fit to rate it as a major sport if the team succeeds in winning the chain-1 pionship of their respective district. Oregon’s team has some very good marksmen, and some good matches can be scheduled for them if the rifle team was given a minor sport rating. Delphian Study Clubs To Meet on Campus Completing their year’s study of art, the Willamette valley Delphian study clubs will hold an all day meeting today in the Woman’s building. The meetings will begin at 9:30, with delegations from Roseburg, Cottage Grove, Albany, Corvallis, and Kugene taking part in the program. Anyone interested is invited. The university was chosen by the clubs, according to ilrs. Nowland B. Zane, one of the committee in charge, because of its unusual art collections. Much of the time today will be spent examining the Murray Warner oriental collection, and the exhibition of the Hchroff-Camden oils downtown.

Tliis year for the first time, no one will bo admitted to the campus luncheon without presenting a ticket which shows him to be entitled to attend the affair, said Hob Tlyml, assistant general chairman. Tickets were ordered for the Homecoming directorate in recogni tion of the inadvisability of feed ing a large number of people not connected with the university, thus complicating the problem brought about by the rapidly growing stu dent body. Alumni will be given tickets for the luncheon as they register, and a booth will be placed at McArthur court for the conveni ence of those not securing tickets elsewhere. Fifty cents will be charged for all others than, alumni, faculty and students. Starts at 11 a. m. The luncheon will begin at 11 o’clock Saturday forenoon and will continue until 1.

Four Guild Hall Plays Score Hit; Triumph Laid to Director’s Art rapacity House Present At Theater’s Premiere By PHYLLIS VAN KIMMELL Tlin debut, of tile Guild Hull play er,s lent night in tlieir first produc tion under tlieir new director was a triumph for Mrs. Ottilie Turnbull Seybolt, head of the drama depart ment. Mrs. Seybolt has shown, through her students, a rare and able directorship, and the repeated applause of the large .audience proved it. With almost a capacity house to play to, the players showed evidence, in the four one-act plays which they presented, of high individual artistic ability and fine teamwork. The first play, “The Glittering Gate,” was short and problematic and highly affecting. The two act ors, Milton George and Rodney Banks, shared equal honors, but it was in “The Flattering Word” that Milt George excelled himself. As the hypocritical, conceited minister he was superb, and his last lines in i the play brought down the house. “Lonesome-Like” was received with greater applause than the first play, with Glenn l’otts the favored actor. His portrayal of the half-j witted, lonesome boy was as well done as almost any amateur acting scon on this rumpus. The action of the play centered about, him and Joy Ingalls, as the old woman destined for the work-house. Katherine Tal bot rendered the part of the young factory girl in a charming manner. “Will-o’-the Wisp” received the most undivided attention of the audience. It was filled with an ele ment of suspense and gripping ex fitment that none of the other plays had and was the dramatic success of the evening. Grace Gardner and Mary Louise Dutton were the out standing stars. Miss Gardner’s ren dition was impressing and forceful. Miss Dutton was the soul of the play. Her presentation really de serves much more lengthy comment. “The Flattering Word” did not deceive its promises, and turned out to be a howling comedy. Several times the audience interrupted the players with applause and laughter. Edna Assenheimer was the most comic of the characters, though it is hard to say which one really drew the most laughter from the crowd. Frank Jackson as ft dramatic star {Continued on l'oye Tiro)
