McEwan Gets New Offense For Grizzl ies Stadelinan May Be Held f For Next Tilt; Chappel To Sti3> for Center Man New Passes Expected To Bother Montanans Ted Pope Suffering From Injury of Aggie Contest With every varsity gridder in uni form, work wont on hist night to develop a now attack to use against the Montana eleven, it was the first time since 1 ho Aggie game that, all the men have been out on Ulayward field ready for action. Only Ted Pope, experienced first string end, was showing any signs of injury, hope is still having quite a time with his leg and it handicap ^ pod his style a lot. While the stellar pivot man, George Stadelman, did not appear to be bothered by his ankle, it has furnished him with a good deal of grief since the Beaver fracas. It is certain that citadclman would be able to enter the fight against the Grizzly and play at about his usual strength but in order to be safe against any injury, it is rather doubtful if Coach McEwan will start him at the opening gun. In case McEwan deems it wise to save Stad elman for the coming fray with the (•Bruins, George Chappell, husky re serve, will start the game. New Attack Discovered With the rest of the line at its full strength, the power of the Ore gon eleven would not be weakened appreciably for Chappell is fully able to care for himself in any var sity competition. Most of last night’s practice was the same sort of drill that has mark ed the rest of the sessions this week, but Me Ewan has worked up some new variations of attack which he hopes'will prove successful against the Montana invasion. - A few new passes which have just been developed of late were tried out last night and if they are per fected to a high degree before the game starts Saturday it. is likely that they will net the Webfoot co hort a couple of long gains when they may be needed most. Last night was another of those occasions in which the linemen drill in little* things that enable them to take advantage of the breaks. 11 is breaks which are scooped up at the right time'that often mean the difference between victory and defeat so McEwan is taking no chances on letting a win si ip through his fingers. The line took turns at practicing picking stray passes out of the air and gathering in fumbles. Team Optimistic Every member of the- squad is tak ing this game as seriously as if he were about to see action against a team that* had not been beaten all year. If this attitude prevails by Saturday it is likely that all the people hero to celebrate Homecom ing "'ill for the first time in three *■ years see a group of Webfoots run wild on the home gridiron and pile up a large number of points..’ It^sod to be done and with a team that is capable of developing so much in a short time as the Oregon men have done this year there is a good chance that McEwan’s men will give the crowded stands a treat. Good Game Possible By this little prediction one must not assume that Montana has a poor team—not by a long shot. Montana like Oregon last year is in the stage of development and like Oregon {Continued on Tape Two) Grads Praise Past Journalism Jams' ‘Hot Stuff,’ Says Famous Alumni by Telepathy Upon fho hppearance of yostor | ilny morning's Emerald a great stir i was aroused in Portland, Paris, and j otlier watering places.

Dying Woman Bequeaths Collection Of Indian W ares to Campus Museum A collection of over a hundred pieces of Indian basketry, some birch hark wares, and moccasins, beads, arrows, and wampum have recently been added to the Murray Warner art museum. This represents over thirty years of collecting by Mrs. Annie Knox of Springfield,, and has been gathered from the Indians about Indepen fence, Oregon, and from some living in New Brunswick, Canada. Mrs. Knox, white-faced with large brown eyes that glow continually and a mass of greying hair that covers a delicate head, is a small woman in the big feather bed from which she never expects to arise. “I have been meaning to give my collection to the university, as soon as I could get it assembled, but since I have been failing so fast, I knew 1 must turn it over as it was, or it would never be done.” Slip shut her eyes ami waited for breath. “They used to call me the ‘In dian woman’s fifiend ’, because I rubbed the back of an Indian squaw doubled with lumbago, and she got well. Indians never forget favors, and so I was able to get many in teresting pieces. They used to camp on the banks of the river near Independeif c, waiting for the hops to ripen. The squaws spent the days building baskets, and the bucks sold them and spent the money in the saloons. “There are different kinds of baskets, some of roots, blanched to white, some of grass and willow. One has porcupine quills and sweet ha v woven together and is made sturdy with ash-wood splints that have been boiled and hammered into (Continued 011 Page Three) What Is the Honors System? Few Oregon Students Really Understand What University Has Done for Their Benefit (Editorial note: This is the third and last of a series of articles ex plaining the aim, organization and possibilities of the system of higher independent study now established in the university and known as “the honors system.”) By \V. E. HEMPSTEAD JR. Before many years have passed the best minds in the university will be drawn into honors work; . Hempstead those people will i»' I li e acknowledged intellectual super iors. To take a de gree witli honors will m e a 11 some filing. As at Swarth inore the complete attitude of the uni versity may lie re cast. In Oxford university students who graduate with honors are to lie marked men and women. Oxford graduates who have not been honor students have never I been distinctly handicapped in pick ing the political and professional plums of Great Britain since the time of the younger Pitt, who grad uated from Oxford with straight A’s and proceeded immediately into the premiership. The one new feature of the. “hon ors system” at Oregon this year was provided a* the last meeting of (lie honors coun.il November 7, looking honors work more desirable. The legislation calls for fin alterna tive to honors with thesis. The new and second di\ ision is headed ‘•general honors.” Heretofore hon ors work with thesis was primarily for majors in a department and no general outside recognition was given. Cioneral honors work necessitates the designation of upper division or graduate courses :t- honors courses at the discretion of the heads of de partments. In these, properly quali fied students may elect and in structors may agree to plan 'and provide a more individual type of work with especial emphasis on dis cussion and wide reading with a minimum of lectures. Thus in a given course in which work for honors may be done, a section of the class composed only of honors eligible students will be enrolled. Or alternatively, the honors stu dents may arrange for specially planned programs of study and thereby be excused from regular lectures where, in the instructor’s opinion, time can be more profitably spent alone. Must Complete Courses Students in general honors work must complete three honors courses in different departments.

Two unusual features are planned -—both of which are especially fit ting for Homecoming and “just what the students and grads are looking for,” according to Tom Stoddard, general chairman. George Weber and Brad Collins will put on a duo-piano act playing original music that is especially written for the occasion, and a trio consisting of Louise Storla,' Marjorie Clark, and Jo Ralston will sing “Home coining” songs. “There will ho plenty of room for everyone and something happening all the time—and everyone is sure to enjoy dancing to the strains of Billy Seivprs ’ ‘Campus Chords’,” promises Tom Stoddard, general chairman of the dance committee. Governor Isaac L. Patterson and Mrs. Patterson will bo at the dance in person as well as in name, ac cording to the announcement of Lou Ann Chase, chairman of the patron and patroness committee. A wire of acceptance was received from the governor yesterday. Those who have not already bought their tickets are urged to got them at the various fraternity houses before they are all gone. They are also on sale at the Co-op. Tickets for Lunch Necessary Item at Homecoming Dinner Student body tickets will give ad mittance to the game, but all stu dents must get special tickets be fore they can attend the Homecom ing luncheon this year, according to “Doc” Ilobnett, assistant graduate •manager. “Experiences last year proved the necessity for a change in the system,” he explained. “So many outside people were fed that students who were entitled to it but who came late did not get to eat.” The Homecoming luncheon tickets may be secured at the Co-op begin ning today. There is no extra charge as it is included in the student fees. Orchesis W ill Sponsor Alumni Tea Saturday The Orchesis tea which was sched uled to be held after the game on Saturday has been definitely set for the hour from i:30 to d:30, Sat urday. It will be given in honor of the visiting alumnae, but all who are interested in dancing are invited. Women who have taken interpret ive dancing in college are "asked to wear their bathing suits and join in the dancing. The program will | consist of technique and several dances, among them a D'Albert | Gavotte.

Influenza Keeps 44 tinder Infirmary Care There is no lot-up in the popular disease—there is no decrease in the number of infleunza victims. Forty four are in the infirmary and its annexes. New patients’ names only are being printed. New arrivals at the infirmary are Louise Chessman, Harriet Duer, Max ■ Williams, and Robert Leedy.

Campbell, ‘My mother has some stuff sin- brought, buck from the Orient. Would you like to have her start a museum here.” President. Pam pin 11 replied that he would he too happy for words, and his wife said the same thing, so I gave my collection of Oriental things to the University of Oregon.” With these few words Mrs. Mur ray Warner, donor of the Museum of Oriental Arts, told the students at the assembly yesterday morning in the Woman’s building how she happened to start the museum. Experiences Related Mrs. Warner lias had many excit ing adventures during her collecting tours in China and Japan, some of which she told the students yester day. The first time she ran into serious danger was when she and two friends, Mrs. Lillian Seaton and Mrs. 10. O. Potter, both of Eugene, wanted to go into China from Japan and rent a houseboat. They were told that they could not do this and that they should stay out of China for there was fighting going on at the time and that it was very dan gerous. After a great deal of trou ble the trio managed to secure passage in a tiny room on a lumber steamer bound for Tien tsin. Their first real adventure hap pened in Pekin. When they were at the hotel a friend of lnrs came and said: “Pekin has been taken by the other side. They surprised the city during the night. We are all prisoners. Don’t try to go out, send notes, or telephone.” Articles Endangered This advice was well received by herself, Mrs. Warner said, but Mrs. Potter and Mrs. Keaton were afraid that the pieces of art which they had secured for the Oregon museum would bo stolen by the Chinese sol diers when they found them in the outskirts of the city, so they climbed into a rickshaw and returned to the hotel with the precious articles. All this warfare made them anx ious to leave Pekin, Mrs. W#rner said, so they made arrangements to go on the train that was taking the Belgian ambassador oat of the c o u n t ry. The train reached the fighting lines about daybreak and from then on the train was stopped every few minutes by sandbags that the sol diers had placed on the track, or (.Continued on l’age Three) Co-ed’s, Gay ‘Hankie’ Found On Birds’ Nest Silk Square Faded Brown From Contact With Bain Did any Oregon co-ed lose a dainty silk “hankie” bordered with net some time early this spring? With tlie falling of the leaves on the maples west of the old library the handkerchief has come to light again. High up in the branches of an old maple tree the little square of silk is suspended by one corner from a bird ’g nest, deserted now by the householders who found it and brought it home. Perhaps father birdie was sent out by mother birdie and the insis tent cries of the offspring to bring something to eat in a hurry. While? he was searching diligently for a worm or some other succulent mor sel a wisp of-bright colored silk caught his attention. Perhaps he though it would quiet the infants’ cries if it was stuffed down their throats, or more probably that mother birdie would like a gift and he would bring her something pretty and bright to look at. Husbands always buy bright, showy things 'for their wives, you know. Mother birdie thought, “Now what can I use it for? I’m sure I have no idea. Well, I’ll just bang it here at the edge of the nest so that our nest will be different. All my old cronies will wish they had some^ thing like it with which to dis tinguish their habitations.” The handkerchief fluttered in the breeze that stirred the broad leaves of the maple; it was soaked in the rain of summer showers until now its bright color is all gone. The deserted brown bird’s nest with its dull silk drapery and the bare leafless limbs of the old maple arc the desolate remains of summer. Result of (Ireland l)rive Not} etSure — Jlnhhs Thinks Sale Will Pass Former Records With n check of results still in-! ' complete late Inst night, indications i were that the three-day Oregana subscription drive has secured more [yearbooks than any in previous ^ oars. “However,” explained Ron- j aid Ilubhs, manager, “this does not j mean that the goal has been reac hed. We do not know yet and we can have no definite announce ment as to whether the drive was a success until results have been checked by the publications com mittee of the A. N. lr. O. “The official apnouncemcut as to whether or not there will lie a pub lication this year will come from that organization — they have all authority,” explained lluhbs. “Any student wishing to sign up for an Oregana still has a chance today by going to the A. S. lr. O. offices in Friendly,” he said. The drive proper ended last might when the manager, his two assistants, Joshua Alexander and Jim Raley, and a crew of f>0 salesmen concluded their canvass and began a check of results. Assembling results was a necessarily tedious task because of the number of individuals handling the canvass, explained the leaders. festivities Start Today as Grads Get Back Home Homecoming Signs Flare As Soon as Light Fades; Winner Receives Trophy Oregon’s 1 DUS Homecoming starts today, promising to make up in quality what lias been said it. will lack in quantity. Headed by Boy Herndon, general chairman of the event, the directorate has been at work for more than a month, as sisted by well over a hundred work ers, in preparing for the week-end. Friendship and an opportunity to renew acquaintances has been stressed as the keynote for the. cele bration. Faculty and studnts are .joined in extending a glad-hand to the returning alumni, “Homo to Honor Oregon.” Two business meetings are sched uled for the alumni; one this after noon and one Saturday morning. The rest of the time is set aside for their enjoyment, of the respite from evreydny cares. Beatrice Milligan, in charge' of welcoming the grads, asks that till alumni be urged to go to Ihe ad ministration building and register as soon after arriving in Eugene as possible. On registration, the alum ni are given tickets for the campus luncheon and for the Homecoming dunce. Begistration cards will bo used by .Jeanette Calkins, alumni secretary, in correcting the alumni office records. The Homecoming signs will be lighted tonight as soon as it be comes dark. Many novel designs are reported by Kenton Hamaker, chair man of the features committee. The signs will be judged tonight and the award of the Bristow cup an nounced at the dance Saturday night. At. 7:00 p. m., the rally committee headed by Bill Eddy will start the rally parade for the downtown streets and Skinner’s butte to wit ness the burning of the “O” con st rue led there by the freshmen class under the general supervision of Bob Hvnd, assistant chairman of Homecoming.

Fireworks and bombs in large quantities have been promised by the rally committee, headed by Bill I'Mdy, and what with these explo sions, the yells of the serpentine and the hand, n very suitable sub stitute for the forbidden noise par ade is expected. Tlie parade will continue straight down the middle of Willamette street until it reaches the post office. There the crescendo of the rally is to he reached, with “Squeak” Parks, yell king, and his staff ex ulting the serpentine to even great er and noisier noise.

This brings the squad up to 42. Wednesday was the second day of practice and many men are expected to try for the team. The finals of tho intra nrural tournament are being run off this week and have kept, a number of men from yearling practice. The men reporting last night for the first time were: Clifford Beck ett, Eugene; Denzil Page, Eugene; Vincent I)olp, Portland; Bob Quin, Astoria; Claude Malian, Tillamook; Ralph Hallin, Eugene; Ralph Sten sliuel, Eugene; Carl (lerlinger, Bal ias; Charles Graves, Grants Pass; Cliester Knowlton, Tillamook; Ivan Kafoury, Salem. Four Plays With New Casts Repeat Successes of First Production The soconrl performance of the Guild Hall players last night with the same plays and different casts took on an almost entirely different aspect. “The Glittering Gate,” not so popular in the Wednesday night show, was by far a greater success. Pony Douglas as the safe-cracker was deeidedly and convincingly tough, and Fletcher Udall assumed in his presentation the hopeless at mosphere which was intended to por ,vade the play. r “ Lonesome-bike” did not quite .come up to the first performance, due mostly to the fact that tlie first cast mastered with perfection the strange dialect which was an impor tant factor. Jack Reynolds was i more humorous, but not so pathetic as Glenn Potts before him. “ Will-o Mhc-Wisp” continued to be the strongest and most impres sing play of the lot, affecting the audience to ii greater extent. Edna Assenlieimer's opening lines were cs perially noteworthv. Again “The Flattering Word” brought a great response from .the crowd. Ed Merges us the actor was great. Every word, every action, was fitting. It would be very dif ficult to say whether Edna Assen lieimer, who played the part of Mrs. looker Wednesday night, or Diana Deiningor, of last night’s perfor mance, gave the better rendition. Both were excellent, and the rest of tho cast also came up to par. In speaking of the play, Mrs. Scy bolt, their director, said, “I have boen very happy to discover in ttiis wealth of material, not one out standing star who shines out above the rest, but a strongly unified group who give all-around satisfac tion to me. Later, a star may turn up, but I could hardly bo better ’pleased with the situation.”
