Side L tries VVcbl'oots Travel in Comfort . . Real Rally Sends Team Off . . Game Drawing Much Fubllcity -By Harry Van Dine "JT was a very jubilant group*of young men who boarded the Sunset Limited at San Francis co Jast Thursday night, to travel across the country to Miami to meet the University of Florida ’Gators on the gridiron. Coach John J. McEwan and Graduate Manager Jack Benefiel finally rounded up all the stragglers, and when those present were counted it was found that there were twenty-eight VVebfoot foot ball players on the train, to gether with the faculty repre sentatives and trainers making the party of almost forty mem bers. The Oregon team trav eled south in a special train, as the second section of the crack flyer, and the squad had every comfort of a modern hotel, with two Pullmans, a club car, and an observation car in which to live. nnHE members of the team had an enjoyable time while in San Francisco, and they celebrated Thanksgiving with a big dinner after the St. Mary’s game. Sev eral former Oregon students re side in the Bay City, and they were on hand to show the boys the town. Members of the team are anxiously awaiting their ar rival at Miami, as Captain John J. McEwan, varsity coach, received a telegram from the mayor of the southern city stating that forty beautiful Junior League girls would be awaiting the team’s ar rival and that they would serve as hostesses to the team while the Webfoots at Miami. After due consideration Coach McEwan wired back to the mayor that it would be nice if he would select twenty blondes and twenty bru nettes as the boys were about even up in their preferences. Which all means that they should have a good time. QNE of the year’s best ral lies was staged in the Southern Pacific station in San Francisco to start, the team on its journey to the sunny south. True there were not a couple of thousand rooters there to cheer thi' team on, hut about a dozen loyal Oregonians did their best to show tile team that the school was behind them. Just to show the stuff they were made of, Austin Colbert, Irvin Schulz, and Fburl; Spear, who were de clared ineligible to accompany the team to Florida, were the ring leaders of the roily Thurs day night. Tli<‘ hoys did every thing that is supposed to lie done at a real rally, broke several Oregon yells and sang Oregon songs. The gang made so much noise that it could be heard out side of the station. Two for mer Oregonians, the Misses Max tor and (iinhishop, were also very much in evidence as was Ed Crowley, former athletic star here. It was a great rally, and it showed good sportsman ship on the part of Colbert, Schulz, and Spear. 4S the time draws near for the Webfoots to take the field against Florida, it is interesting to note the widespread publicity that tlie game is drawing. The game will be but one of a series of no table events to be held on Decem ber 7. Chosen as ttie vehicle to dedicate Miami's new Madison Square Garden stadium, it will take on the aspect of an intersco tional fete with dignitaries from the two states involved heading a east of notable visitors Unit proba bly will include President Machado of Cuba; His Excellency Charles William Orr, C. M. G., governor of tlie I’ahama Islands; anil President Portea Gil. of Mexico. The (>00 millionaire stockholders of the Gardens corporation will take part in a general exodus from New York to Miami on a special train. r|'Hi; traveling W'chfouts |iir rlved in Atlanta, Georgia, this morning anil will stop over all day. The squad will leave the Georgia ell\ tonight and wUi ar rive in Jueksonville tomorrow morning. The Wehfoots will work out at .laeksoiiN ille and will stu> there Wednesday night ' and all da.N Thursday. Thev will leave Jacksonville Thursday night and will arrive in Miami ( Friday morning, for a final workout before the game, t ap- j tain -MeKwun will have his • hands lull playing the game [ with a hole at one tackle, as < ollasrl and Schulz play the sajllc position and they are hack in f-higcnc attending classes af ter being declared ineligible to Uial.c the lloiida trip.

Coach Works Team During Thanksgiving BaniMtorniiiif; Sfliwliilc Is Being Arranged for Winter Term Reinliart Gives More Time To Smoothing Play While the majority of their fol low studqnt.:; were enjoying them selves in their various homes, dur ing the recent holidays, the var sity basketball squad underwent a Strenuous practice program. Starting Friday morning, the candidates were put through their paces twice daily with the excep tion of Sunday when they were allowed a rest, there being but one session scheduled for that day. Things are going more smoothly these days in the Igloo, and Billy Reinhart is making rapid progress with his men now that he is able to give them his undivided atten tion. With a two-game practice series with De Ncffe's quintet, scheduled to be played Friday and Saturday of this week, it begins to look as if the season had really arrived. These two games are purely prac tice encounters hut should provide Reinhart an opportunity to get a line on how his men stack up against, real competition. Two other games are tenta tively scheduled for the near fu ture, being a two-game series with the Multnomah Athletic five of Portland. Both these tilts will be played on the club court at Port land. The actual dates of these encounters will be set by Jack Betiefiel when he returns from San Francisco'. Plans for the annual varsity barnstorming trip arc being drawn up and will he released some tiihe this week. No definite dates nor. opponents for this trip have been agreed upon, hut it is assured that an interesting program will he drawn up.

After a half-hour stop we took off for Oakland and arrived there in a little over an hour and a half. When we alighted in Oakland, we found out a little about the flying history of this fellow Case. He was a flying instructor in the war and later served in connec tion with the English fleet in the North Sea. He was cited by Gen eral Pet siting and was officially credited with bringing down four German planes, although he ac counted for six others unofficially.! He has a total of more than 2,800 | hours in the air and is considered I one of the best pilots on the coast. Smith is the youngest co-pilot on u big pas .eager plane on the coast. A West Coast limousine took us I over to San Francisco, and the 1 Oregon football team whs found t ct : a Ciift hotel. After dinner the whole gang attended the new Fox theater and then retired for the evening. All were up early the morning of the game, and all were in fine shape. At 10 o’clock the players were taken out to Kezar stadium. St. Mary’s presented a big, vvell ba la need team, with probably the fastest set of backs in the coun try. They are reputed to have four men who are capable of running lhe hundred in a little more than ten seconds and we believe them After Oregon kicked off and St. Mary’s failed to gain, the breaks started to go against the Web foots After Londahl had got away for a pretty 18-yard run, the play was called back and Oregon was penalized 15 yards for hold ing. Londahl attempted to punt out, but his kick was blocked and Opting recovered for a touchdown for the Gaels. The Saints shoved two mi,re touchdowns across dur ing the first period, and the Web foots seemed dazzled by the at tack. The Gaels scored again in the second quarter and Oregon was unable to do anything when the Webfoots had the ball. The half ended 25 to 0. The second half was a different story with the in spired Webfoots carrying the bat tle to the Gaels and finally shov ing across the first touchdown to be scored against the Saints this year, when Robinson tossed a per fect pass to A1 Erowne, who scampered five yards across the heretofore uncrossed Gael goal line. St. Mary’s shoved across an other touchdown in the final canto to make the score 31 to G. We boarded another West Coast plane Friday morning at Oakland anu arrived back in Portland shortly after noon, making the trip up in a little over four hours. A.T.O. HANDBALL TEAM VICTORIOUS Alpha Tau Omega gained the right to meet the Fijis in the sec ond semi-final match of the donut handball tournament with a vic tory over the Delta Epsilon pair 21-8, 21-4 yesterday. Harry Ben son and Bill Whitely upheld A. T. O. colors over the Delta Epsilon team, composed of Harry Policar and Sol Director. Tomorrow the Fiji-A. T. O. match will be played.

JUNIOR WOMEN WIN FAST CAME In an exciting and close game, the juniors came from behind to win from the seniors in the speed ball game last night, in the field behind Gerlinger hull, the score being 8 to 7. At the end of the first half, the score was 4-0 in the favor of the seniors. It was a revamped junior team that went back on the field when the whistle blew. The ball was almost continuously in the \ senior territory. In the kicking duels several girls fell at differ- J ent times, one trying to get the ; ball into the goal while the other was trying to kick it into the middle of the field. The seniors and sophomores meet tomorrow to decide the championship. If It’s a Habit for you to get a regu lar shoe-shrine, t h e n keep it up. If it isn't a habit, you'd better acquire it.

Lint of 22 Books Announced for Beadi«tg Circle Evtennion Divinion Names Works for Study by Stale Teaehers Must Have Certificate or No Salary Given The University extension divis ion has just finished publishing: the State Teachers’ Reading Circle book list of 22 books. This is in connection with the Reading Cir cle work which the University, in compliance with the request of the state superintendent of public instruction, carries on every year. This year, however, stated W. O. Beattie, assistant director of the extension division, additional du ties have fallen upon his depart ment. At the request of the Ore gon State college, which formerly handled half of the reading circle work, the University has taken over supervision of all of it. Work Required Under the law, every teacher in the state must each year either read and take an open book exam ination on one of these, or earn college credit through correspond ence, extension classes, or actual residence at a standard college or normal school. Every public elementary or high school teacher in the state must have a reading circle certificate or its equivalent before he can draw any salary, it has been an- i nounced. Reading Important "This ought to be important to all students planning to teach next year,” said Mr. Beattie, “be- i cause their attendance at the Uni versity will entitle them to the I equivalent of a reading circle cer- j tificate for their first year of ' teaching.” Supervision of this work will in volve the reading by the Univer sity extension of between 3000 and 4000 book reports this coming year. Tariff Is Subject For Congress Club The United States tariff will be the subject which the Congress club will discuss tomorrow eve ning. Jack Bellinger, freshman in journalism, will uphold th*. tariff as its exists today, and Tim Booth, freshman in mathematics, will ar gue for the abolishment of all tar iffs. Freshmen are particularly welcome at this meeting, says Roger Pfaff, president, since two freshmen have been chosen to lead the discussion. EDWARD MILLER STOPS US EUGENE Edward M.

DR. WRIGHT READS PAPER AT MEETING Dr. Leavitt O. Wright, associate professor of romance languages^, returned Sunday evening from Berkeley, California, where he represented the romance language department of the University at the 31st annual meeting of the Philological Association of the Pa cific Coast. Dr. W'right read a paper at the meeting on the teaching of the Spanish simple -r-, in which he stated that the Castilian pronun ciation of the simple -r-, rarely ac cpiired by North American teach ers of Spanish, inadequately ex plained in most U. S. grammars of Spanish, can be taught through O. G. Russell's suggestion that Spanish simple -r- equals the Eng lish -d-; and its pronunciation can be aided through comparison witT that of English intervocalis -t- in rapid pronunciation of auto, bot tom, and put it. ; Dija Ever - - i Go a vacationing—travel far—return with a bunch of soiled clothes — busy making up classes—exams coming soon—postage stamps lew?
