Volume xxx __ university'of ‘Oregon, eugene, Tuesday, December n, 1928 __~ _ number 4g 1 r A £ I I ( I Oregon Team Starts Jaunt To Hawaii Web foots Leave Eugene This Noon on Shasta; Will Sail From Frisco By JOE PIGNEY Twenty-two Oregon football play ers ami their bathing* suits leave Eugene, this noon on the first lap of the Hawaiian expedition. Sport ing goods dealers of the eity re port an enormous mid-winter de mand for swimming outfits which far exceeds the summer business. The music stores predict a complete sell-out of ukeleles before the south bound Shasta pulls out. The Webfoots play two games in the Islands. They meet, the Hono lulu town team on Christmas day and the University of Hawaii on New Year’s Day. The Islanders, due chiefly to climatic conditions, are doped to defeat the Oregonians. The Olympic, club of San Francisco already defeated the town team, but. the university team trounced Occidental college of Los Angeles last Saturday, "2 to (1. The strength of the substitutes will be a deciding factor in Ore gon's success at Hawaii. The warm, sticky climate is highly enervating to newcomers. The team which spends itself in the early part of the game usually finds things pretty tough toward the end. * * * The Webfoots officially end the football season of 1920 with the Ore gon Aggie game November l(i. Who ever heard of a team finishing its season so early. Intersectional tilts have extended the peak of the football season into December. Ore gon will be quitting just as foot ball reaches its greatest interest. The demand for intersectional games has made them almost indis pensible to the popularity and fame of an institution. The superiority of football in the West boost Pacific coast teams power to draw crowds in other sections of the country. Oregon, the leading team of the Northwest with a strong champion ship contender coming up for next season, would be a desirable team for an inter-sectional battle. Oregon is after a game, but the difficulty is in edging into the schedule of a strong eastern team. All the teams must give their con ference rivals some preference, and the dates Oregon has open conflict with the dates of many of the eastern teams. The Webfoots’ sudden advance ment in the football world did not assist them in arranging the con ference schedule this year. Most of the powerful southern teams avoided the Webfoots, fearing, per Ih.ops, the likeliness of a defeat. Oregon’s schedule is not a set-up by any means, but it is not diffi cult one for a strong team. The Stanford game coming October 5 probably will be the hardest one of the year. Should Oregon go through its schedule next year without a de feat, the southern teams may com plain that the Webfoots did not play the best teams of the confer ^ enco. It was the southerners, how ever, who refused to play the Web foots. * * * A permanent inter-sectional game is an asset. The Oregon Aggies have been placed on the schedule of New York university again. When the Beavers go east next Thanksgiving day, the Yankee Stadium will not be large enough to hold the crowds. The Army Stanfcrd game has become a nation al affair just as the Notre Dame (Continued on Page Four) Seniors Stage j Tigs’at Heilig Tonight; 8:15 i National Collegiate Players Cooperate With Class In Presenting Comedy Cast Includes Nine Experienced Actors Constance Rotli Directs; Tickets 50c and 75c Tim curtain rises at 8:15 tonight, wlmu ‘"Pigs” starts its way through three a -ts of what everyone who has looked in on the rehearsals or seen the actors in previous dramas says is the best, of entertainment. ‘‘Pigs,” presented by the National Collegiate Players and the senior class, plays at the lleilig theater tonight. Paul Roueher says that anyone who hasn’t already bought tickets from house representatives can get them at the theater, by going early. Tickets are 50 and 75 cents, all seats reserved. Veterans Acting Larry Shaw, Grace Gardner, Hugh Logan, Glenn Potts, Milton George, Constance Roth, Diana Deininger, Edwards Merges, and Helen Allen comprise the cast. All but two are seniors, and veterans at the theater art; Grace Gardner, as Mildred Cashing, and Lawrence Shaw, as Thomas Atkins Jr., are playing op posite each other for the third or fourth time in Guild hall plays. Their trials and tribulations with the sick pigs they purchase promise fun for both the audience and the actors—of course the pigs recover and prove a fine source of remuner ation for Thomas, .Tr., and Mildred. The National Collegiate Players, of which Mask and Buskin is the local chapter, cooperates with the senior class in staging the play. Last year they played “Patsy,” with Alpha Delta Sigma; the cast of the play tonight is much the same as the one which played the “Patsy” last year. Roth Director Constance Roth, graduate assist ant in drama, -is directing the play. Hugh Logan plays Spencer Atkins; Glenn Potts, Mr,' Hastings; Helen Allen, Lenore Hastings; Milton George, Dr. Springer; Edwards Merges, Hector Spencer; Constance Roth, Grandma Spencer; Grace Gardner, Mildred Cushing; Law rence Shaw, Thomas Atkins, junior; and Diana Deininger, Ellen Atkins. The play, written by Anno Mor rison and Patterson McNutt, was played by the Henry Duffy players in Portland last year. Miss Prutsman, acting dean of women, lias granted late permission to all upperclass women, and to freshman women with the consent of house presidents. i _ Freshman Team Wins Volley Ball Honors The second all star team in intra mural volley ball trounced the first all star opposition in a one sided game 51 to 35 last Friday afternoon. By this victory they captured the mythical all star championship of the university. The freshman first team, however, scored the highest average for all classes. Members who composed it were: Juanita Young, Ella Redkey, Dorothy Goff, Lucille Murray and Ruby Williams. Two third teams, the sophomore third and the junior third, will play off their tie todav at 5 o’clock. I Bill HaywardToo Hopes for Best As Examination Time Approaches Students are not the only ones; closing their eyes for the bumps next week. In some of the offices of McArthur court are men with ^ their eves shut just as tightly. For the first time in several years, Bill Hayward has a track team which is actually .pointing in the l general direction of a Northwest championship. There is a real pos sibility that Oregon will win the Northwest conference meet on Hay ward field next spring. The team certainly looks good on paper—now. But whether or not it will look good on paper next term in a sense other than a flock of paper weights would look, depends largely on a few dingey hours next week. Bill is doing everything he can to encourage his men in their studies. His greeting is: “Hello, bov, how are your stu died?” There are only a scant dozen or so frosh out for track at present, but Bill knows that there will be 75 or 100 of them out next spring. Thwsad part of it is, says Bill, that there are going to be a lot of dis appointed freshmen, because most of them will not have built the neces sary foundation into themselves. The varsity will suffer next year, be cause many potentially good men will become discouraged, and dis continue track for some other sport which they are not so well fitted. He explains that while basketball, which is taking its toll of track material at this time, does not do much harm to weight men, it is very bad for runners. When a good basketball man chooses basketball instead of track for his winter’s work. Bill does not complain. But when a fair track prospect is out-classed in basketball and wastes his time with it; then Bill avers that something is wrong.

Article by Hempstead Published in ‘Japan’ World Tour Experiences Written for Newspapers A current issue of “Japan,” travel magazine edited )>v James King Steele, contains tlie last of a series of tluee articles by Jack Hempstead called “Student. Tour ing, or Packing tlie Varsity Bags 40,000 Miles Around tlie World.” During tlie world tour of the'Ore gon debate team, Hempstead, Mc Croskey, and Thompson wrote about their trip for newspapers and per iodicals. Besides contributing regu larly to nine daily newspapers, they wrote 11 articles which were print ed in world-wide editions of the Christian Monitor. These articles, requested by the editor of the Moni tor, treated their experiences in de bating foreign students in the Eng lish language from a sociological point of view. One of the other magazines in which articles were printed was the Movie Makers’ magazine, of New York City. The three men took about 7000 feet of motion pictures, and four or five hundred photo graphs while on their tour, and the stories dealt with their amateur mo tion picture experiences. It was also illustrated with some of their photographs.

What Type of Magazine, to Write For is Knot for Authors to Untie ‘Every ^ riter Musi Decide'’ Says Wetjen, One Of Oregon's Novelists; Knows His Shipwrecks “Every writer comes to that place in his life where he has to [ make a compromise," saiil Albert Richard Wetjon, Oregon novelist, who is basking in the success of his ' first “serious” piece of work. He pulled hard his at his fifth black i cigar, and a thick dump of dark i curly hair lolled Up over his pink face, lie swung a plump leg over i the arm of his chair at the Three Arts club Saturday evening and cunt inued: “Take my book, ‘The Way for a Sailor.’ It cost me seven months to write it, one hipidred dollars to type it, and plenty: to my agents to market it. The publishing house will run out about five thousand copies—that ’g the life of the aver age novel—and that will only net me about one thousand dollars. That’s the price you have to pay for art. “I might have serialized it, and run it in a. magazine at top price, I hut 1 slionlil liavo had to spoil the tono of it to got. it. to fit into por tions that ooulit lio cut. and fod in strips and still romain tasty. I might liavo spoilt that sovon months writing for a pulp papov magazine at four oonts a word and rolling up a noat profit—iuit I wan tod to hroak away from ‘hack’ writing and try to do somothing, and tho novol is the only vohiolo that, can promote such things. “ Most of tho Oregon writers have fallen into this rut of ‘hack’ writ ing, and aren’t, making any supremo effort to got out. If a man is giv ing tho best that ho has, he has a right, to work for the ‘pulps,’ but. it is when he can do better and won't; then it is criminal. Maybe their wives won’t let them. They have to maintain fine homes and motor cars, and a novol won’t buy those unless it is a best seller. Hero * (Continued on rape Tiro) Sister Leader Requests Heads To File Reports More Workers Needed as Helpers Quit School; “All ‘big sister’ captains abso lutely must hand their reports in to me by the end of the week,” stated Melon Peters, head of the Big Sis ter branch of the Women’s league. These reports concern the health, the activities, the housing, the friends, and the scholarship of the "little sisters.” “Some reports have already come in,” Miss Peters said, “and they are very, very favorable. However, some of the ‘big sisters’ are dropping out of school ooxt term, and wo need more to take their places, if any girl who would like to be a good scout to a fresh man will let me know, i’ll fix it up.” The Big Sister movement is di vided into Id groups, each one under the supervision of a captain. The Women’s league aims to lend a helping hand to every freshman. That it has succeeded is borne out by the statement of Pat Boyd, who rotary of the freshman class, who says, “It’s meant a lot to mo just to know I have some one to go to in case I need advice or anything.” Aero Cl ill) Meeting Tonight Term’g Last Group To Hear Eekerson, Hicks; Wants New Name What with the announcement that Eugene is to become the site for a large airplane factory of local back ing and management and other Eu gene aviation developments, (he University of Oregon Aero club will probably have a good chance to learn what they would like to know about aviation, heads of the club pointed out Monday.

It received the largest num ber of votes from the audience at the first program of the year by the players, and was therefore chosen. “Craig’s Wife” has been one of the outstanding American plays during the last few years.

UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, Lrgs Angeles, Dec. 10.—(PIP)—An interesting group of photographs dealing with notable examples of German brickwork was recently shown in the exhibition room at the University of Southern California. Heretofore, students of architecture in their studies abroad have devoted their time chiefly to Italy, France, Holland and England. That this remarkable brickwork of north Germany is quite out of the ordinary, both from the viewpoint of craftsmanship and daring archi tectural treatment, the exceptional photographs of this exhibit clearly establish. This group of photo graphs is probably the most com plete presentation of architecture in one material ever exhibited in America. New Members Appointed On Annual Staff John ^ .

L. Packard, professor ol paleantliology. Mr. and Mrs. Italpl L. Lupher, graduates of the geol ogy department of the University of Oregon in 1025 are the inventors The machine is used to identify fossil ammonites, which belong ti the cephalopoda, the highest clus: of mollusea. “Most fossils have bi( names,” Dr. Packard apologized ii explaining this fact. “The nmmon ites bear on their shells their name if we can only interpret them,” le said. Ammonites, which resemble snail in shape, lived in the outer par of their shell, Dr. Packard explained Every so often they built anothe room to their shell, walling of the preceding room in the process. If this wall were straight the mark ings on the outer shell would be simple, but more often it was highly irregular, thus making curious com plex patterns on the shell resembling frost traceries on a windowpane. These peculiar markings upon the outer walls of the ammonite shells are termed sutures. “No two genera have identical ' suture lines. Even the signatures 1 of no two species are absolutely I the same,” Dr. Packard said. “If 1 we can only record or determine this ' suture, we can determine the name 1 of the ammonite.” The question is how to record this pattern on paper. Because the speci 1 mens have curved surfaces the mark ings cannot be photographed. In • the past they have been laboriously (Continued on J'tu/e Two)
