The grand prizes have not yet been selected, but will be an nounced in a short time, accord ing to Fred Norton, contest direc tor. Paul D. Green, men’s clothier, is offering the men’s trophy, and the Buster Brown shoe store has pre sented the other. Norton expressed himself as very well pleased with the coop eration which the contest has re ceived from Eugene townspeople and businessmen. “I do not be lieve,” he stated, “that any uni versity activity in the past two years has so aroused the public interest. “Officials of station KORE have informed me that they are satis fied that the Emerald radio con test will be the most popular ra dio feature that University stu dents have so far attempted.” Mrs. Clara Fitch Recovering From Accident Injuries Condition Still Serious, Says Physician In Attendance Mrs. Clara Fitch, secretary to the graduate school, who was struck by an automobile Wednes day night at the corner of Elev enth and Kincaid streets, was re ported late yesterday to havg im proved, although her condition is still quite serious.

Dr. Hal) Goes East to Meet With Spears Missoula, Montana, Scene Of Conference Set For Today ACCEPTANCE ASSURED Executive Council Choice Approved by University Alumni Group The time: 4 p. m. mountain standard time. The place: Missoula, Montana. The characters: Dr. Arnold Ben nett Hall and Dr. Clarence Wilce Spears. The action to take place is all arranged. Dr. Hall will tender the contract and the other worthy doctor will sign it. Or that is we hope he will. Results Certain This meeting has a parallel in the workings of the political sys tem of the United States, every four years, when the electoral col lege meets to elect the president of the United States. Everybody knows what they are going to do and everybody knows the result of the meeting long be fore it occurs. So it is in this case. Everybody knows what is to transpire in the city of Missoula and it is more or less of an anti-climax but abso lutely essential. Dr. Spears has signified his intention of accept ing the terms offered by the exec utive council of the University and it would be almost more than the student body could bear if there was a hitch in the proceedings and the whole business had to be re peated. President Leaves Dr. Hall left Eugene Wednesday morning to make the trip to Mis soula and the meeting with the new coach should not require much time as the stage is set and ready for the expected action. That the choice of Spears was acceptable to the students was demonstrated by the flood of wires that almost swamped the local telegraph office. Confidence in the ability of the newly elected coach was expressed by Woodie Archer, who last season led the football team in playing time. Archer Likes Choice Archer said: ‘•‘I believe that the University of Oregon is very fortunate in ob taining such a wonderful surgeon as well as a remarkable football coach. Dr. Spears will undoubted ly prove to be a beneficial addition to the influential physical educa tion department as well as an in spiration for his proteges on the grid-iron. His brilliance will have a desirable psychological influ ence on his men and on those who i are aspiring to join his ranks in later years.” That he was also an acceptable ! choice to the faculty was expressed by Dean James IJ. Gilbert, dean of the college of literature, science and the arts, who said, “We are all gratified at the successful out come of Dr. Hall's efforts to se cure a first rate man for the coaching job. During my recent visit to the University of Minne sota I heard nothing but favor able reports on the work of Dr. Spears and the wholesome influ ence he exerted for the morale of the student body.” Dr. Del Stannard, alumni mem ber of the executive council, ex pressed in his opinion, that the selection was favorable to the al umni. He said, “We are all pleased with Dr. Spears. Every one I have talked to is well pleas ed with our selection. Dr. Spears cannot be considered as undesir ed by the alumni faction, for in talking with the variou^p alumni here and in the south they inti mated that it would be a wonder ful thing if Oregon could get Spears, but were afraid that we could not. But now that we have him I believe that everyone is sat isfied and happy.” Morris Expected Back On Campus This Week Victor P. Morris, professor in economics, is expected by mem bers of his department to return to the campus within the next few days, it was announced yesterday. Mr. Morris has been in the East taking his Ph. D. Anxious to Direct Webfoots Dr. C. W. Spears, who has agreed with University officials to coach the YVebfoot gridmen during the coming five years. Final ar rangements will completed today when Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall consults with the new football mentor at Missoula, Montana. Decoration Motif For Frosh Glee Is Secret, Says Hca<i Chairman Gillespie Sends Out Call for Workers On Decorations McArthur Will Be Ready In Due Time DECORATION MOTIF .5 . With only one more day in which to make preparations for the Frosh Glee Saturday night, and with the usual amount of rush work confronting him, Chuck Gil lespie, general chairman of the committee in charge, is sending out a plea for men and girls to assist this afternoon in the work of decorating McArthur court for the big dance. Those who plan to attend the hop tomorrow night need not be alarmed over the state of affairs, however, says the chairman. The Igloo is already being trans formed into a mass of color and by the time Johnny Robinson’s Varsity Vagabonds strike up the first note tomorrow night, there will be nothing to indicate that the last few hours have been hur ried ones. Keen Motif Secret Neither Gillespie nor Larry Bay, president of the class, chose to reveal the motif of the decora tions, which have been especially designed by the John L. Stark company of Portland. “We as sure you,” they promised, “that the background will be a fitting one for the scores of fluffy for mals which the girls will wear, (Continued on Page Three) Verne Blue Speaks at Meeting Lecture Topic on ‘Nationalism in India’ “Nationalism in India” was the subject of an address given by Verne Blue, assistant professor of history, at a meeting of the In ternational Relations club last night. Mr. Blue gave a short history of the rise of nationalism in India from its first evident appearance following the Russian-Japanese war, when a demand was made of Great Britain for a dominion status, to the present time and condition of violence and repris als. England, while not unfriend ly, failed to grant India the po sition of a dominion, and other petitions and demands followed, each in turn to be entirely re jected or revised by the British government. After each of these discourage ments the following petition from the successive Indian conventions would ask for a further degree of home rule until now Mr. Blue be lieves that even home rule may fail to satisfy the nationalists, who have progressed to the desire for complete independence. The leader of the Indian move ment is Ghandi, a man of the highest caste in India, who is try ing to break down the caste sys tem, control the animosity be tween the various religions, and to prevent violence, Mr. Blue said. In this he has not been particu larly successful, according to the speaker, who went on to tell of Ghandi’s ambition to boycott Eng lish manufactured products and encourage Indian hand manufac ture, saying that “If this could succeed we would have in our own modern century a great nation living in the handicraft age.” If India were left to her inde pendence there might be a de cline in trade, and even civil war, Mr. Blue said. Aside from the (Continued on Page Three) Snoozing During Concerts Proves To Be Old Habit # - Haydn, 18th Century Com | poser, Planned Chord j To Waken Sleepers Orchestra Will Feature Symphony Sunday Snoozing through 9oncerts was not unheard of, even back in the days of sparkling 18th century courts. So reveals a story handed down to the present about genial “Papa” Haydn, composer and master of counterpoint of the 18th century. A fortissimo chord that literally jolts listeners of his Third Sym phony was the jolly Haydn’s way of having a little laugh at those who dozed through his music, ac cording to the tale. Chord Follows Melody The chord crashes dramatically toward the first part of the sec ond movement (andante) just after a quiet melodious passage. University students will have a chance to be “jolted” by the same giant chord this coming Sunday afternoon when at 4 o’clock ves pers services, the University of Oregon orchestra, conducted by Rex Underwood, head of the violin department, will make one of its few appearances of the year. The last of the three concert numbers will be Haydn’s sym phony which is known popularly as the “Surprise” symphony, be cause of the famous chord. Though the chord story is inter esting, there is little proof that I (Continued on Pape Three) Willamette Smothers Oregon; Score 40-30; Frosh Face Hard Tilt H Yearlings to Tangle With Medford Five Came Tonight Willi High School Team To Be In Men’s Gym Many Men Will Get Into Game, Says Coach By RALPH YERGEN Tonight at 7 o’clock the frosh basketball team will- tangle with the Medford high school quintet in the men’s gymnasium. It was necessary to move the tilt from the Igloo because of decoration work there for the Frosh Glee. Although Coach Prink Callison did not pnnounce his starting line up last night, he indicated that he would use a good many men as he dpd in the initial battle with Chematya. The illness of BUI Boweririan is a severe blow to the team, as he was one of the most dependable yearling forwards. Bowerman is in bed with a bad cold and probably will not be able to play again before next week. Many to See Service Those who are almost certain of seeing service are Clarence James, Homer Stahl, and Hughie Evans, forwards; George Beechler and Red Roberts, centers; Don Sleg mund, Bill Morgan, Cliff Garnett, and Roy Shaneman, guards. James has been the outstanding frosh prayer on offense. He scored ll poihts against Chemawa and Is improving steadily with basket shooting practice. This sharp eyed forward should develop Into good varsity material for next year. Bill Morgan is a consistent guard, Strong on defense and in strumental in breaking up oppo nent rushes. The babes will need him this year. Siegmund and Garnett are both coming along steadily and are already consid ered as regulars. Roberts May Start The important position of cen ter is ably taken care of by big George Beechler and Red Roberts. Beechler started the game against Chemawa but Roberts has been showing up exceptionally well in practice and may get the starting call. Roberts is the faster of the two and works in well with Calli son’s style of play. By using a large portion of his squad against Medford tonight and Albany col lege tomorrow afternoon, Callison will be able to get a line on his material. The Medford team, headed by Merrill Hagan, coach, arrived in town last night and took a short workout at the men's gymnasium. The Pearpicker squad is in fair condition and ready to cross swords with the quintet of their former coach. DEAN OF WOMEN MAKING SURVEY The dean of women’s office in conjunction with Dorothy Kirk and Joan Patterson of the' Wo men’s league is making a survey of the different activities on the campus in order to find out the amount of time spent on them by students. The head or president of each activity is being required to an swer a questionnaire, some of the questions on which are: Is the ac tivity class, departmental, A. S. U. O., University, dormitory or sorority? Is it appointive, elec tive, or voluntary; social, educa tional, discussional, administra tive or honorary? What are the dues and membership require ments ? • “The survey has not been com pleted as yet but we expect to | have the material assembled with in a few days,” Dean Esterly said yesterday. ‘Turn on the Heat' Is Watchword for Oregon Club Dance mVOU won’t have to grab a woman or a tux or a dol lar to go to the big All-Campus dance tonight. Just grab an overcoat and mittens and hike out to Gerllnger hall—and you will soon shed those, ’cause It's going to be a hot party!” promises Alice Murphy, chair man ot the committee in charge of the annual Oregon Club dance, which Is to take place tonight, i Upperclassman or under classman, Old or new student, fraternity members or inde pendents—every campus sheik and sheba will be cordially welcomed by Oregon Club, ac cording to Anne Brtcknetl, member of the committee. The no-date system is to be the or der of the evening, )and the committee states that “George Weber and his gang are all set to furnish plenty of whoopee.” Moeller and Lillie Hurl as Bobsled Hits Phone Pole Track Star and Football Letterman Ger Several Cracked Bones May Keep Discus Hurler From Competition As the result of a bobsled acci dent in which the sjed on which they were riding crashed into a telephone pole, Ed Moeller, unoffi cial holder of the world's discus record, and Jerry Lillie, football letterman, are today under medi cal care; Moeller wearing a cast on a cracked elbow, which may keep him out of track and field competition next year, and Lillie with a cast on his left foot. The accident occurred Wednes day night on University street, near McArthur court. They were treated later by University physi cians. It will be several months before Moeller will be able to use the in jured arm freely, and doctors be lieve that a permanent stiffness may result, preventing him from entering active competition again. Lillie’s foot was badly crushed, , and two small bones found broken, although the injury was not thought serious enough to keep him from playing football under' Dr. Spears, Oregon's new coach. UDALL TO HANDLE DANCE PUBLICITY Fletcher Udall, junior in eco nomics, was appointed yesterday by Day Foster, chairman of the Senior Ball, to handle the adver tising and ticket sales: for the ball.
