NUMBER 1« Injuries Hit Northbound Webfooters Erie Forsta Stricken But May Play; Substitutes For Center Weak IDAHO GAME COSTLY Diluted Forward Wall May Hamper Forward Passing Attack Under a heavy barrage of R. O. T. C. pop guns and wild shrieks from several thousand throats, the Oregon football squad left last ; night for Seattle | to be on hand ' for the Husky encounter Satur day afternoon. | It was with no small bit of ap prehension that the loyal Web foot mob watched the special car of football play _ ers aisappear up Christensen the track. The Idaho game put a big dent in the Oregon lineup. First it was Stadelman, and then Colbert. Now it is Eric Forsta, who was to take Stadel man’s place at center against Washington. Although Forsta has been in the infirmary as a result of an appendicitis attack, he left with the team last night. It is very doubtful whether or not he will be able to play. Virgil Earl, Captain McEwan, Bill Hayward and Billy Reinhart are the university officials mak ing the trip. Mike Gray and Tom Williams went along as man agers. Dope about the Oregon system of attack and defense is all in the air. Bill Anater will probably start as center. This will be his first varsity experience in that ca pacity, as he was shifted over from guard this week. With the Webfoat line as di luted as it is with inexperienced men, it may be that the passing attack that worked so well against Idaho will be crippled. With a line unable to protect the passers from the Husky forwards, the element of uncertainty will be doubled. Bobby Robinson still has three days to recover from the injury he received in his elbow Saturday. If he does not, it is nearly a cinch that Oregon’s percentage of com pleted passes will drop to the danger point. The Washington Huskies have had a bad year so far. That is the one bright spot in the Oregon horizon. Not that the Huskies do not have the strength. They’ve got lots of strength, but they’re working against what Dr. Cros land would call an inferiority com plex. Oregon is taking no chances though; they may wake up even though the score is piled up against them. Webfoots making the trip to Seattle are: Archer, Erdley, Wood, Bailey, Fletcher, and W. Browne, ends; Bates, Christensen, Schulz, Lucas, Hall, Heyden and Forsta, tackles; Shields, Lillie, West and French, guards; Park, Anater, Forsta and Klippel, centers; Ma son, Kitzmiller, Londahl, Moeller, Spear, A. Brown, Williams, Don ahue, Hatton and Robinson, backs. Fifteen Houses Reach Top In Oregana Campaign; 800 More Sales Needed Before End of Campus Drive Tonight Unaffiliated Students Will Have Section in 1930 Yearbook, Say Editors; House Chairmen Get Airplane Rides for Work With fifteen houses over t top at the end of the first d. and a half of the campaign f. 2,500 Oregana subscriptions, tt workers were prepared last nigh to make a last final effort ti reach the goal before 7:30 tonight the closing time of the drive. Less than 9,000 sales are neces sary to make the campaign a success, 1,673 books being con tracted for to date. Several work ers have yet to report gains for yesterday, which will swell the figure well over the 1,700 mark. The houses which turned in complete lists at the meeting last night were: Sigma Kappa, repre sented by Marjorie Needham; Kappa Kappa Gamma, Kathryn Perigo; Chi Omega, Rose Sim mons; Delta Gamma, Margaret Ansley; Phi Sigma Kappa, Hobart Wilson; Phi Delta Theta, Bud Lutcher; Phi Kappa Psi, John Long. Free airplane rides were award ed to the managers in the houses meeting their quota, the same as last night. This offer will hold good for the remaining day of the drive. Also, free rides will go to any person signing up six persons who do not pay fees to the university. This includes the alumni, graduates, faculty, and townspeople. Free rides with Hobi Airways w.ere also won by Connie Baker, chairman of Section I, who turned in the highest percentage of her quota on the first day, and to Claire Thomen, Susan Camp bell Hall, who made a 39 per cent gain on her quota for the second Jim Travis Named To Head Bonfire For Homecoming Hamaker Will Supervise Construction of Main Feature Same General Plan to be Used This Year Jim Travis was yesterday ap pointed general chairman for the Homecoming bonfire by Lawrence Bay, president of the freshman class. The bonfire, which is always a big Homecoming feature, will be set off this year early in the eve ing of Friday, November 15, ac cording to Keith Hall, general chairman for Homecoming, who says that Kenton Hamaker will act for the Homecoming director ate in an advisory capacity to the freshmen directing the work. For the past two years the fire has been built in the shape of a huge “O” on the south slope of Skinner’s Butte, just above the head of Willamette street. Travis says that the same general plan will be used this year. Heads for the sub-committees announced by Bay are: material, Howard Ragan; ■ transportation, Harold Short; vigilance, Roy Shaneman; Construction, Ralph Walstrom. Refreshments for the bonfire workers will be supplied by the Thespians, freshman wo men's honorary, of which Adele Wedemeyer is president. Grandads to Frolic With Sons, Grandchildren Here Dad’s Day QRANTHER is assured of hav ing one peach of a time if he can be inveigled into coming to the campus to spend Dad's Day, November 2. He can, of course, enjoy the football game with U. C. L. A , along with everybody else. He will sit in the special rooters’ section which has been reserved for the Dads and their papas. He can attend the annual Dad's Day banquet in the evening after the game. After that, if he feels frisky, he can waltz to the strains of “That's You, Baby,” with his co-ed granddaughter in his arms, or, for that matter, with somebody else’s granddaughter. Grandmam ma, of course, will never forgive him, but who cares? He can visit the buildings around the campus. He can view with complacence, now, that pride of the freshmen, the mill race. In fact, he can have quite some fun in refreshing ancient memories of his school days. Every student is urged to write to his grandad as well as to papa and to extend to the former an in vitation to come. It is hoped that enough grandads -will come for Dad’s Day so that another organ ization under the name of Dad’s Dads can be formed. In the constitution of the Ore gon Dad’s association, of which organization Bruce Dennis of Klamath Falls is president, it is stated that grandfathers are hon orary members. It should be easy for grandads to form an auxil iary. 3 LA’S SELL YEARBOOKS > 9 _ Sr a 5. i. ith the announcement that 2- -5 Dregana subscription cam 5 C- i had passed the 1,700 S. r during the first two days 3 5 ivassing, came word from > L. A. that the “Southern 3 s,’’ the southern school's * )k, had passed the 553 mark after two days’ work. They are taking eight days to put their drive for 2,000 copies across. This shows how Ore gon does things, even though a school half the size of U. C. L. A. day of the drive. Of the men’s houses, Hal Paddock, chairman of Section II, won the first day’s percentage prize and a free ride, with 89 per cent. This was the same score that Miss Baker made. And in the second day’s contest, Art Potwin, Section I, made the most advance, chalking up a 13 per cent gain. Lu Liston, a major in the school of architecture and allied art3, has furnished the committee with 21 posters for use during the final clay. Among the hardest of the work ers are Hope Shelley and Ed Wells, who are soliciting an un organized territory composed of unaffiliated town students. In dis cussing their problems last night with Lester McDonald, editor of the Oregana, it was decided to have a special unaffiliated section in the 1930 yearbook. This sec tion will be a part of the Living I Organization section of the year book. | Those working under Hope Shelley in the effort to sign up the town girls are: Katherine Morse, Claire Fahe, Roma Gross, Juanita Kilborn, Helen Chaney, Betty Anne MacDuff, Helen Skip worth, Inez Simmons, Betty Re bec, and Gretchen Wintermeier. Bob Neer, Howard Ragan, Roger Bailey, and Burdette Nicklaus are assisting Ed Wells with the town men. Margaret Ormandy of the Girl’s Oregon club, and Helen Carlson of Mary Spiller hall are working with Ruth Dundore, chairman of section III. Russian-Cliinese Relations Subject Of Barnes’s Paper International Relation Club Hears Discussion of Railway Dispute The history of Chinese-Russian relations in Manchuria was re viewed and possibilities of a solu tion of the dispute between the two countries over the Chinese Eastern railway were discussed by the International Relations club last night when Dr. Walter C. Barnes of the history department presented a paper on China and Russia in Manchuria. The Russians and Chinese have several common qualities, Dr. Barnes said, pointing out that there is racial similarity, both having some Mongol blood. Emo tionally and temperamentally they have something in common, be ing outwardly slow and calm, al though really emotional. Another similarity, Dr. Barnes said, is their mental cast. “They are not, I think, primarily logical, but they are gifted with imagination and observation more than the Nor dics. They are at once philosoph ical and literary.” The great dif ference between the two peoples, according to Dr. Barnes, is that the Chinese are more mature, dis ciplined, and conventional than the Russians. In their village life, their governmental organization, and in the prestige of the family, they have much in common, the history professor thinks. "While France and England were fighting China, Russia got as much by diplomacy, being ced ed the whole left bank of the Amur and a maritime province to Vladivostok,” the speaker said. £Continued on Page Three£ Co-opera live Food Buying Investigated Organizations May Share In Warehouse ami Student Store SYSTEM IS ADAPTABLE Conditions on Campus to Be Inspected by Committee A movement to investigate the conditions of co-operative buying on the Oregon campus providing a large warehouse and store of which the students are the stock holders and operators is being made by the House Manager's as sociation which has appointed a committee to look into the possi bilities more thoroughly. During the summer a commit tee became acquainted with a sim ilar plan now in operation at Ore gon State. Every living organi zation on the campus makes its purchases from this store, with the result that it has more than paid for itself and is at present paying dividends to the houses that make up the organization. Oregon Adaptable Such a system might well be put into use at Oregon, officials say, and it is the desire of the House Manager’s association to make a complete study of the ad visability of a co-operative buying plan. It was thought best to start with the co-operative purchasing of a single commodity rather than to attempt to establish a com plete system as the one now • in use in Corvallis. Whether the plan will be profit able or not remains to be seen. At any rate, there are several tentative p.uns being considered. All of them call for the use of the men's new dorm as a storage and selling center. An experienced meat buyer will have to be placed at the head of the organization, and an adequate system of deliv ery, and provisions for a varied stock worked out. The ideal plan would be to have the store work ing exactly like a regular meat market. The questions of financ ing the proposition and of finding a competent buyer, as well as of convincing the living organiza tions that they would profit from such a system, are yet to be solved. Survey Made The committee, however, has been making an elaborate survey of desirable plans and hopes to make a definite report at the next House Manager’s meeting. For several years co-operative buying of fuel has been used by the House Manager's Organization very successfully. Course in Personnel Work to be Offered Women who have hopes of be ing' deans of women or directors of personnel work have this term been given opportunity to take a preparatory course, which is of fered for the first time in the Uni versity of Oregon. Dean Virginia Judy Esterly, dean of women, is instructor of the class, which has been limited to ten members. Term projects will be carried out that will be in the form of city and state surveys of questions of interest to employers and wo men in the business field. Obser vations will be made in offices of deans of women, and conferences held with personnel directors of several of the large Portland stores. Research will be done on such topics as the following: collection of personnel records used in deans’ offices, and drawing up a model form; number and variety of oc cupations followed by women in the city of Eugene; courses of study offered to women in Oregon schools; work of industrial girls of Longview; reading list of books for high school girls; case work study in high school discipline. There are but a few universi ties in the United States which of fer courses of this nature to col lege women. The University of , Southern California is one that has I added this year a preparatory course for deans of women. ‘Ed’s Co-Ed’, Campus Movie Secures World Premier Here During Homecoming Week Talkers For Frosh Meets Made Public _ Dr. Bowman, Dr. Conklin, Dr. Rebec to Give Addresses 'leads of Houses Urged to Send Freshmen Throe noted speakers, Dr. Har old Leonard Bowman, Dr. Ed mund S.

Trio Delights Audience With Recital Ushering In Winter Mnsical Season _ i f . ■■■■■' ' Mr. and Mrs. Underwood ! and Dr. John Mez Give Evening of Chamber Music to Large Crowd By BARNEY MILLER Appearing in a recital featured by beautiful and dreamy melodies, excellent interpretation, and ex tremely delicate technique, execu-' tion, and finish, the Chamber Music trio, composed of Rex Un derwood, violin; Dr. John Mez, ’cello; and Aurora Potter Under- ! wood, piano; officially ushered in ' the winter musical season at the ' Music auditorium last night. I The program was excellently rendered and there appeared none of the raggedness of execution which is sometimes prevalent in organizations of this type. The program was chosen both for its difficulty of rendition and for the Interest which it would hold for the audience. This fact went far to make it interesting to both those who were musicians and also to those who attended to merely listen to the melody. From the opening note of "Bo lero” by Fernandez-Arbos to the closing chords of Allegro from "Trio Opus 18” by Saint-Saens, the listener could not help but feel that he was listening, not simply to music, but to a story in the form of melody which had behind it all the feeling and art istry of which its Tenderers were capable. It is seldom that the average citizen receives the opportunity of listening to a program of Cham ber music, especially when given by three such artists as Dr. Mez, Mr. Underwood and Mrs. Under wood, and, if one were to adjudge from the applause which these performers received from the large j crowd which attended, the listen- ! era were not insensible to the fact. The program was as follows: I Two Spanish Dances. . Fernandez-Arbos Bolero, Habanera II Trio No. 5 in G Major.Mozart Allegro Moderato, Theme with Variations, Allegretto in Trio Opus 18. Saint-Saens Allegro Vivace, Andante, Scherzo, Allegro CLASSES NOT OUT ON ARMISTICE DAY All regular classes except eleven o’clocks will be held this year on Armistice day, according to advice received from the registrar’s of fice yesterday. At eleven o’clock there will be a special assembly fitting to the occasion but as yet no definite plans for the assembly have been made. This is the first Armistice day on which the university has held classes and for this reason the ad ministration wishes to announce the fact early, so students would not plan on leaving for the holi day. i - SHOOTING TEAMS MUST FIRE SOON The intramural rifle shoot is | being unnecessarily dragged out, only three teams having complet- j ed their record firing, according to Captain Bragg. All teams must have finished their firing not later than Saturday afternoon or be declared ineligible for com j petition. The three teams which have ! completed their firing are the , Delta, Phi Psis and Sherry Ross 1 hall. All of these teams turned ' in exceptionally good cards but it | is a toss up as to know how they j will stack up against the imposing j array of scores piled up by some of the dark horses of the match I who have not yet finished their firing, _ Violinist Rex Underwood, professor of music, who appeared last night with Aurora Potter Underwood and Dr. John Mez, in an evening of Chamber music.

The show will be a midnight matinee, starting at 11:00 and running until 1:00. The feature is a full length eiglit-reeler, which will take about an hour and twenty minutes to show. The bal ance of the program will be in charge of Nelson, who promises a lineup of the best campus talent available for a number of stage stunts. Late Permission Allowed Spe-Aal permission allowing th* Oregon women to attend the mat inee has been obtained from the dean of women, say the directors. The editing and developing of the film was finished in (Jesse Sill’s laboratory in Portland last week, says Raley, and the reels will arrive in Eugene within a few days. Ron Hubbs, business manager, plans to have tickets pn sale sometime next week, the places of sale to be announced later. Ope Showing Only The matinee at the McDonald is the only scheduled showing for Eugene, and thd :produccrs expect an early sell-out, due to the fact that it is to be shown on the eve ning of Homecoming. The filming of “Ed’s Co-ed’’ was begun in April. Unfavorable weather delayed the work, and the picture was not completed until a week after the close of school. LAW BY CASWELL ATTRACTS NOTICE By proposing an astronomical law recently, Dr. A. E. Caswell, professor of physics, has attracted considerable attention in the sci entific world. The proposed law states, "The mean distances of the planets from the sun are propor tional to the squares of simple in tegral numbers.” The October 4 number of Science, the official organ of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, contained a discussion of this law, which Dr. Caswell first advanced in a letter to the magazine last April. Huge Rally Sends Team North For Big Game With Huskies JT was conclusively proven at Villard hall last night that it takes more than a late train to dampen Oregon spirit. More than 2000 Oregon students waited pa tiently by the tracks for the hour late Shasta Limited, and for a solid 45 minutes produced a great er output of noise and pep than has been heard on the Oregon campus for many moons. The rally was originally sched uled for 6:45, but word from the south that the Shasta was delayed caused a postponement to 7:30. The crowd began gathering at 7:00, however, and then the noise began. Two thousand human throats, aided and abetted by si rens, horns, cowbells, a cannon, and last but not least, a 40-piece band, can make noise—and they did. Two powerful searchlights play ed over the crowd from the bank, and red flares formed a fiery “O” next to the track. It was 7:40 when the train pulled in, and 7:42 when it got under way again, but the two min utes were sufficient for Chuck Heed, yell king to lead a “team yell, a “varsity,” and a rousing cheer for Coach McEwan. And the last thing the Oregon team heard as the train gathered speed was their 2000 loyal rooters singing “Mighty Oregon,” which translated, meant: “Go to it boys, and bring home the Huskies' scalp.” Most of the credit for the auc (Continued on Page Two)
