Important Change

New Option
An important change in the

their native country) which may
be best for the prosecution of their
studies. They will further be al

Doc Spears Not Gloomy Over
Final Outcome of Drake Tilt
By JACKSON BURKE
Although the papers of the Pa
l cific coast have heralded Doc
f Spears as the logical man to bear
the moaning title, once held by
Gloomy Gus Henderson, one-time
coach at Southern California, in
> an interview prior to the depait
ure of the Webfoot mentor and
team for Chicago last Sunday, in
dications were that the genial doc
tor is not half as bad as all tha1'.
Spears stated that the strength
of the Drake team is an unknown
) quantity due to their not having
played any games this year and
he did not know just how strong
the Webfoots would be in relation
‘o the eastern school.
As to the strength of the Ore
on team Spears was more defin
f e. They are big. according to the
f*ew coach, and if they can use
I neir stee and strength in the man
i^-‘r he is trying to teach them,
they will get along all right.
When asked how he felt about
the inauguration of night football
Spears was silent, giving his opin
ion neither for nor against the
night game.
The spirit manifested by the
students at the Willamette game
is hoped to be a forerunner of
even greater manifestations, ac
cording to the coach, who stressed
the importance of this phase of
football, saying its importance
cannot be overestimated.
This year’s meeting with the
Drake Bulldogs is not the first
for the new Oregon coach as late
in the fall of 1927 the big Minne
sota team coached by the same
Spears crashed through the Des
Moines team for a 27 to 6 win.
However, this game was played
the year that the Minnesota team
made Grange and the Illini look

New Tradition A<l«lecl as
First ‘Welcome Meet’
Gathers at Igloo
Dean Straub Unable To
Greet Frosh Class for
First Time in Years
To the strains of a concert
march played by the University
band freshmen, students will file
onto the main floor of McArthur
court this morning at 11 o’clock
and sit in a section to attend the
first assembly of the year, and
the one which is planned particu
larly for them.
In another reserved section will
sit members of the faculty, with
still another section marked off
for sophomores and upperclass
men.
The freshman welcoming as
sembly has been added to Oregon’s
traditions. Several years ago the
administration of the University
was petitioned by the students to
have an assembly at the first of
the year to welcome the new stu
dents. All 11 o’clock classes are
dismissed.
The invocation will be given by
Rev. Max Adams, student pastor.
There will be another concert
number by the band, which is to
be on the speakers’ platform. Fol
lowing this George Cherry, presi
dent of the A. S. U. O., will be in
troduced, and will give an address
of welcome to the new students
especially.
Frank Jenkins, editor of the Eu
gene Register and former presi
dent of the chamber of commerce,
will represent that body in the ab
sence of Roy Booth, present chief,
and will speak on behalf of the
chamber and the citizens of Eu
gene.
Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall, presi
dent of the University, will give
the principal address of the assem
bly.
The first convocation of the year
will close with the traditional
march, “Mighty Oregon.’’ which
will be played by the band as the
students file out of the court.
Members of the faculty who are
on the program will be in academ
ic costume on the speakers’ plat
form. Oregon Knights will usher
and appear in uniform.
Dean James H. Gilbert, dean of
the college of literature, science,
and the arts, will preside at the
assembly in the place of Dean
Emeritus John Straub, who tradi
tionally has had this duty, but who
is prevented from appearing this
year because of illness.
The freshman week committee,
consisting of Karl. W. On thank,
dean of personnel, Hugh Biggs,
dean of men, Mrs. Hazel Pruts
man Schwering, dean of women,
and Earl M. Pallett, registrar and
executive secretary, have made
all arrangements for the assembly.

Geologic Study
Map of Central Oregon Is
To Be Published
As director of the University geo
logical survey during the summer
months, Dr. Edwin T. Hodge, of
the geology department, complet
ed his study of the Central Oregon
region, and the topographic map
published last spring will be sup
plemented with extensive geologi
cal and mineralogical data. The
map, which has occupied Dr.
Hodge for a number of years, will
reveal the region’s natural re
sources in map form for the first
time.
The University professor’s party
reached the summit of Lookout
mountain, east of the Three Sis
ters, in an automobile, continuing
his list of alpine conquests, which
includes the climbing of Maiden
Peak, and of the slope leading to
the Timber Line cabin on Mt.
Hood.
The members of the survey par

Greater Oregon committee, Joe Freck, chairman, and George Cherry,
president of the student body, has travelled all over the state this
summer, conferring with Dads’ Day representatives, Oregon Mothers'
groups, and prospective students. The large enrollment of freshmen,
and the interest being evidenced in Dads’ and Mothers’ day this year
is tribute to their work.

Variety Planned
By Mrs. Seybolt
For Year’s PJays
Lack of Melodrama in Past
Causes Director To
List That Type
Fall Enrollment Exceeds
Former Records
The drama division, as in the
past, opens this fall term with an
increase in enrollment. A num
ber of the former leading players
have returned to the Guild Hall
Players group, and some promis
ing new actors are evident in the
class in technique of acting.
Mrs. Seybolt, director of the
drama division, is planning a var
ied and interesting program of
plays for the year. The season
will open with a Grand Guignol
production, a bill of horror plays.
“We have had very little melo
drama during the last two years,”
said Mrs. Seybolt, "and it seems
time to remember that that is one
of the legitimate forms of enter
tainment.”
“The Man Without a Head” is
the title of a play which has the
possibility of many thrills.
The recent plays under consider
ation for this year’s series are:
“Holiday,” “Journey’s End,’’
“Berkeley Square,” and “Death
Takes a Holiday.” All are out
standing plays of last season in
New York. One or more of these
will probably be played during the
year, depending upon their release
for amateur production. Other
plays will be chosen a little later
from the works of Ibsen, or Shaw.
Later on the Studio Players mat
inees will be resumed, but no def
inite date has yet been set. Try
outs for parts in this series of pro
ductions will be open to the entire
campus. Anyone wishing to try
out for parts is cordially invited
to do so.
Debate Outlook Good,
Says Forensic Coach
With all but one of last year’s
varsity debaters and orators back
I on the campus this year, the out
! look in the forensics is very good
' this year,' according to Walter E.
Hempstead, Jr., assistant debate
| coach.
j Among those who are ready to
I answer the call for debaters are:
] Errol Sloan, Robert Miller, Arthur
j Potwin, Walter Evans, Roger
| Pfaff, and Hobart Wilson.
Eugene Laird, who was the only
\ delator lost last year, is now
working as an assistant in the of
fice of the speech division of the
English department.
Hobart Wilson is general foren
sics manager this year, and will
soon announce the other members
of the managerial staff.
Football Tilt
With Violets
Set for 1931
Game with N. Y. Team Is
Scheduled for October
In Eastrn City
Manhattan Team Desires
Revenue for Loss to
Beavers
Oregon will play the 'lew York
university tootball team next Oc
tober in New York, according to
a wire received from Sam Wilder
man, publicity director of the As
sociated Students, who is now in
Chicago handling the publicity of
the Drake-Oregon game.
Arrangements for the game
which will be played in the eastern
city October 31, 1931, were con
cluded yesterday by Hugh Rossen,
graduate manager of the Univer
sity, and A. B. Nixon, as a repre
sentative of the New York uni
versity.
Meet in Chicago
Rossen had gone east to handle
the business of the football team
in Chicago and a meeting was ar
ranged with Nixon in the hopes
that some arrangement could be
made whereby the game could be
played.
The game will bring together
two representative elevens and is
expected to be a strong drawing
card, one of the strongest of next
season’s schedule.
N. Y. U. was one of the leading
teams of the East last year and
the year before was considered to
be the strongest team in the East
until “Josh Oregon,” as the New
York papers characterized the
Oregon State Beaver team, came
unheralded and trod the Violet to
the earth in the most crushing
defeat they had suffered in many
years.
N. Y. U. Have Grudge
They haven’t forgotten this de
feat and its resulting notoriety in
the Manhattan college and it is
assured that careful guarding of
the Violets will ensue lest the Ore
gon team repeat the “trodding.”
Coach Meehan of the Violet
team has had a consistent team
for many years and has contrib
uted many stars to All-American
elevens. The latest of these stars
was A1 Lassman, big tackle, who
was rated as one of the strongest
linemen of many years until an
injury removed him fror^ competi
tion.
Will Arrive Friday
With this important intersec
tional game already on its 1931
schedule the Oregon team, under
the direction of Doc Spears, has
an added incentive for a good 1930
season. The reputation of the
Webfoots in New York is based
on the fact that in 1929 they tied
with California, Stanford, and
Southern California for the Pacific
Coast title.
The wire from Wilderman con
tinues, saying that the Oregon
team will arrive in Chicago the
day of the game, after stops made
in Pocatello, Idaho, Monday; Den
ver on Tuesday, and today at
Omaha.
Oregon Players
Gain Contracts
Robie and Wirtli Receive
Baseball Berths
Two other athletes received rec
ognition yesterday when it became
assured that Ken “Rabbitt’ Robie
and Charles “Chuck” Wirth had
been tendered contracts with
teams of the Pacific Coast base
ball league.
Robie who was captain of the
Webfoot nine last spring has
signed with the Oakland team and
will in all probability be used in
the winter league in California.
Wirth has been given a contract
with the San Francisco Seals,
which team will in all probability
“farm” him out under contract
to a smaller circuit where he can
gain additional experience. Wirth
was assured of second base on the
Webfoot nine last year but was
declared ineligible before the sea
son opened. Both he and Robie
were mainstays of the Eugene
town team last season.
Poor Dean Makes
Funny Faux Pas
Dean Carpenter of the law
school has a story to tell on
himself.
He was talking with a strang
er who had inquired for Pro
fessor Morse.
“Oh,” he said, thoughtfully,
“Professor Morse has been in
the state penitentiary for near
ly a week—”
“What did you say?” inter
rupted the stranger, with a
startled expression.
The dean was forced to ex
plain that Mr. Morse was spend
ing a week from September 15
to 2-J in the state penitentiary
as a member of the Oregon
Crime Survey of Oregon Penal
Institutions.
Oregon Women
To Take Part
In Football Rally
Feminine Enthusiasm Will
Characterize New
Plan Change
B. Mimnaugh Is To Head
Rally Committee
“Pep! Noise! Enthusiasm! And
any other adjectives you may
think of will characterize the Ore
gon loot Dan ral
lies this year,”
. says Brian Mim
n a u g h, new
chairman of the
rally committee.
The committee
has been almost
completely reor
gan i z e d, and
| when it is com
; plete will be one
! of the strongest
1 in recent years.
Under the new
Brian regime the co
Min,naugh eds haye a yery
definite place in all rallies, and the
committee is planning special and
varied features for the women of
Oregon.
“Just now,” said Mimnaugh,
“we are bending all our energy
toward the Washington game in
Portland. We are going to show
that town such a rally as it has
never before seen.
“On the evening before the
game we are planning to radio
rally with “Slug” Palmer in
charge; later that evening, at one
of the big theaters, a big rally will
take place with acts and music by
the talent of the University, band
numbers, and yells.
“On the day of the game there
will be a short rally in front of
one of the hotels followed by a
serpentine to the field. We want
the co-eds to follow the serpentine
in cars and make all the ‘whoo
pee’ possible. We are making
plans for plenty of noise al3o. We
want fire trucks, police wagons,
sirens, bells, in fact, anything that
will make noise. We want to
make Portland a football town.
Just now it is on the border line,
and this year we want to swing it
over. Enthusiasm, pep, and drive
will do it.”

Barker Returns From Europe;
Observed Student Life There
Students may live for less than
$1 a day in the student centers
near Paris, declared Burt Brown
Barker, vice-president of the Uni
versity, who with Mrs. Barker and
.heir daughter, Barbara, returned
to Eugene this week from a sum
mer spent abroad.
Mr. Barker spent a great deal
of his time in Europe observing
the student life in important edu
cational centers, among which
<X*ere Paris and Heidelburg. Both
3ermany and France are begin
ning to realize the value of hav
ing universities that will draw stu
dents from all over the world, he
said. The University of Paris re
cently has been granted a large
section of land just outside the old
fortification of the city. Here it
a encouraging different nations
fo erect student houses and to
date nearly a dozen countries, such
as the United States, Canada, Ar
gentine, Armenia, and Belgium
have erected buildings.
Mr. Earker was also in Ger
many just before the election, and
people there, especially in the
southern part of the country, are
taking a keen interest in national
politics. The election was a step
toward saving the country from
Bolshevism rather than plunging
it into such a state, as many peo
ple believe, Mr. Barker said.
People of Germany are working
hard to recover from the war and
making an especially strong bid to
attract tourists and travellers
from other countries, Mr. Barker
continued, and Germany is actual
ly gaining many of them who here
tofore spent much of their time in
France and other countries.
Mr. Barker also spent some time
j in research in early church his
j tory while in Germany, and made
; several important discov e r i e s
1 which he plans to make public
: later.
