The Emerald ♦ SCORE BOARD By Jack Burke ♦ WHAT PRICE FROSH VS. VARSITY— In our humble opinion the price paid for Monday’s varsity-frosh scrimmage was a bit too great. It is easily understood how a bunch of freshmen turned loose against their supposed superiors will try to demonstrate that the superiority, if any, is small. It is also easy to imagine the mental frame of mind of the varsity play ers as they played against their supposed inferiors. Put these two factors together and you have a psychological sit-1 uation which is not at all good for the continued well-being of a var sity squad at a time such as this but a scant few days before a con test which is not only Oregon's first conference game but is al ways one of the games for which all of the possible strength of the Webfoot team should be available. We haven’t a thing to say about it, but it would seem that the risk of injury to such a player as Watts far overshadows any possible val ue such a program might have. CONFERENCE RULING WILL AFFECT WATTS— Speculation is rampant on the „ campus as to whether or not Don Watts has had what constitutes a , year of participation under the rules of the Pacific Coast confer-1 | once or whether he will be eligible !; for three years more, not having played in a conference game. For your enlightenment we quote from Section 21(b), Defini tion of Participation: Representation of an institu tion in any recognized athletic contest shall be considered as a season’s participation in that sport. All athletic contests in which an institution is repre sented by a freshman or varsity team are “recognized athletic contests.” From this section of the rules it would appear that Watts will have but two years’ competition left after the close of the present season. * * * * HOW ABOUT SOME TUMBLING YELL LEADERS It has been suggested that we j | start a movement. We always like [ | to start things. Anybody does so | jf here goes. Over at the men’s gym they1 ■ have been training a bunch of j tumblers for the entertainment of : basketball crowds this winter. With this as a starter it has been I suggested that this particular class I in tumbling and the regular yell I school, which is already establish • ed, be combined with the idea in j mind of producing a set of yell leaders such as Idaho and many I ether Universities boast. This is not a pipe-dream in any j sense of the word as we have tak en the liberty of investigating a bit and find that E. R. Knollin of ; the P. E. faculty is willing to 1 teach, and John Creech, yell leader, j is among those willing to be taught. We shall await develop | ments. * .*? MEEHAN ALSO MAKES A BREAK— We feel a whole lot better, find ing as we do that Chick Meehan, . coach of the New York university ;■ Violets, and a predictor of no mean f ability took a chance on 14 games last week and failed in these three f games being the same as we did, and all far western tilts. Meehan's attitude is easily ex-1 1 plained as he spoke of U. S. C.'s I winning as usual, or rather that j the Trojans “would win as usual." This supposed power of California football is going down hill. And in ! one of these cases it couldn't have [ been the weather as Pop Warner was held to a scoreless tie with the temperature being 92 degrees. It begins to look as if the time, f when there shall be no division | implied when western football is •i spoken of, is not far off. RESEARCH AID GIVEN 0. U. MEDICAL EXPERT (Continued from Piuje One) | past year a total of 30 extensive articles on various phases of med ical and surgical science were pub lished in leading medical journals as a result of work done by Ore gon men. Favorable comment on many of these has come from all parts of the world. Library Is Aided Another outstanding contribu tion to the medical school made by Dr. Burget has been the de velopment of the medical school L library. In the past 10 years the r library has acquired 12.000 vol umes and now receives 330 cur rent periodicals. It is now re Webfoot Grid Squad Given Somewhat of a Rest After Bloody Scrimmage Londahl Gets Watts Birth In Backfield Precision Is Lacking at the Afternoon Session Of Ball Team New Backfield Shows More Power But Lacks Old Speed After the massacre of Monday night, Doc Spears put his men through what was a comparatively easy session last night, running through dummy scrimmage only, and using the scrubs as opposition with Washington plays as the basis of their attack. For the greater part of the aft ernoon Johnny Londahl was in the position formerly occupied by Don Watts. With this change the backfield was made up of Johnny Kitzmiller, Ed Moeller, A1 Browne, and Londahl. Precision Lacking Although precision was lacking in this new formation due to the change of Londahl from the posi tion he is used to, that of Kitz miller, it showed possibilities and while it may not be as fast a com bination it is perhaps an even more powerful one. Alternating with Londahl was George Currie, who is the usual substitute for Watts. He and Jack Erdley were used somewhat throughout the session with Erd ley alternating with Browne in the “blocking back” position. In the line one change was no ticeable as Marion Hall was re placed for a portion of the work out by Bill Morgan, husky sopho more tackle. Lineup Unchanged With the exception of the changes mentioned, the team lined up as it did the night before, with Orville Bailey and Steve Fletcher at ends, George Christensen and Bill Morgan, tackles, Austin Col bert and Irv Schulz at guards, Eric Forsta at center, and the backfield as mentioned above. When asked about the effect Watts’ injury would have on the team, Spears stated that the squad was hard hit by injuries and also that the trip East had done the team a great deal of harm. garded as an indispensable aid not only to the school, but to the pro fession in Oregon and adjacent states. Although every year hundreds of applications for admission are received from qualified candidates, only 226 were actually enrolled last year. Of this number all but 16 are residents of the state of Oregon, although of the number of applicants, nearly half were from states other than Oregon. The enrollment is strictly limited! to the facilities in the school, and such a high quality of scholarship is insisted upon that the institu tion ranks among the outstanding leaders-in the entire United States. FROSH TO DON LIDS TODAY AT ASSEMBLY (Continued from Pa<je One) Challenge Day trip to Seattle could not have been half the suc cess it was. John Stehn and his boys did marvelous work becoming the talk of Seattle as well as Port land. Both at Seattle Breakfast club and Chamber of Commerce, band received tremendous ova tions. You and University can well be proud of such an organization. Please convey our most sincere thanks, appreciation and congratu lation to Stehn and the boys. —Aaron M .Frank.

C. Hall, director of the Community Chest drive on the campus. At a meeting of the chairmen of the various divisions of the drive Monday noon, the campus division was awarded a flag for i the most progress made to date. Nine hundred and seventy-three dollars have been pledged so far i and this is quite a large percent-1 age of the total to be pledged so; soon. Mr. Hall says that if everyone continues to cooperate with him as they have done, the campus will make a very creditable show ing. Campus Marks Anniversary of Far-famed Poet Vergil Topic of Address By Professor Dunn • At Assembly The University of Oregon is1 joining the rest of Indo-Aryan peoples this week in celebrating the two-thousandth anniversary of I the Roman poet Vergil. On the evening of Thursday, October 16 —the nearest date available in the local calendar—Phi Beta Kappa will call a general assembly in the auditorium of Villard hall to hear an illustrated address on “Vergil’s Bequest in Art,’’ by Prof. Frederic S. Dunn, chairman of the Latin department. Professor Dunn is also serving as a member of the national committee for the promo tion of Vergilian celebrations un der the auspices of the American Classical League. Dean James H. Gilbert will preside as president of Phi Beta Kappa. “Rare indeed,” writes Professor Dunn, “is the man whose birthday is counted back through a few centuries. Yet the international festivities celebrated this year in honor of Vergil ante-date even our Christmas by 70 years. The world is ringing with eulogies for a bard who is credited with having fore told the birth of the Christ, yet missed the fulfillment of that prophecy by 19 years.” Professor Dunn, in the first year of his experiences as an instruc tor on the faculty of Willamette university in 1895, began to follow up a fascinating quest, the collec tion of pictures based on Vergil’s Aeneid. This collection, wholly re vised, and much enlarged by the addition of recent works of art, forms the basis of his present ad dress. Last week, appropos of the Ver gilian bimillenium, Professor Dunn addressed the Marion County In stitute at Salem, while on October 13 he spoke before the Book club of Eugene, on themes connected with Vergil’s life and poems. LARGE CROWD PLEASED WITH MARINE BAND (Continued from Page One) enspiegel,” with its wild and wierd swift passages, and its grim death march, was splendidly played. The audience’s favorites were among the encores, including “Mother Machree,” “Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes,” “Road to Mandalay,” and others. An encore full of interest to those who heard Von Hoogstraten’s orchestra last year was the “Bee,” arranged for the band, yet retaining the “buzz,” which was done by the woodwinds instead of violins.

FLORODORA GIRL’ 3100 Enrollment Expected Before End of This Term Increase Now Over 100 Compared lo Last Fall’s Record An increase in registration of at least 100 students for the present term is now assured at the Univer sity of Oregon, it is announced by Earl M. Pallett, registsrar, follow ing compilation of figures today. Actual enrollment is now 3,063, a new high record for this time of the year, and an increase of 66 over the total of last year for the fall term. A few more registra tions from graduate students and students in the school of sociology will r?well the increase to over 3,100, it is expected. The most marked increase is seen in new students. These now total 1,234, as compared to 1,126 for the fall term last year, or an iricrease of more than 100. Due to economic conditions many former students were unable to return this term, yet plan to come back for the winter and spring terms, and this will swell the increase to still higher records during the year, Mr. Pallett points out. Cross Country Aspirants Train In Daily Trots Two Lettermen Return to Bolster Oregon’s Chances Last night the aspirants for the varsity cross-country team cov ered the regular course of about three miles. From now on three or four times per week on the course will be the regular sched ule. Two lettermen, Hill and Steele, are back. Bechel and B. Long, 1923 frosh numeral winners, are out again, the latter having been injured last season. R. Hall, Tin nerstet, and Eddy, last year’s frosh men, are showing good form for early season workouts. A 1928 varsity track man, McKitterick, has also turned out for cross country. About twelve frosh, who have been out but a • few days, went part way around the three-mile course with the varsity men.

University Tailor 1128 Alder St. German Professor Relates */ . »• • His Experiences as Student In the last 12 years, the life of Dr. Meno Spann, new assistant professor of German, has been what he terms the typical life of a student of a generation which grew up after the war. Perhaps it is typical, but at the same time there seems to be something of the unusual in his experiences. Working in a shipyard in Bre men, where many large ships are manufactured, Dr. Spann, as a stu dent, was able to earn money in the summer to help pay his way through college. Due to the infla tion that has been prevalent in Germany since the war, the only way to get a little money was to do hard, strenuous work, he said. His main source for earning his university expenses, however, was tutoring people for their doctor’s examinations. Dr. Spann comes to Oregon from Cornell, where he taught two years before coming Imre. He received his doctor's deg^re from the Uni versity of Marburg in 1928. His university education began in 1922 when he commenced’ studying at Goettingen. Later, he studied in Berlin, before going to Harburg. When the World war began, he was living at Nuernberg, an or phan boy of 11, whose actor par ents died when he was only two years old. He had been adopted by other actors. “The thing I remember most about the war,” he said, “was be ing hungry.” Before the war was over he was 15. If he had been a few years older or if the war had come a few years later, he might have gone into battle like the young students of Remarque’s book, “All Quiet on the Western Front.” Speaking of this book, he said, “The fundamental point is not to show how the German nation as a whole faced the war, but to show how boys of good education who should have become artists, spir itual leaders, scientists, and phil osophers, but not born to be fight ers, were ruined by the war. For Remarque, it is a greater tragedy if war breaks a generation of able, young, sensitive men than if it kills them.

I “The German nation is usually j misunderstood. The Germans are not militarists,” he added. Dr. Spann is very fond of boxing as a sport, and at one time was middleweight champion at Mar burg. Here at Oregon, he goes reg ularly to the gymnasium for box ing and wrestling. Spanish Club To Feature Real Mexiean Folk Song The Spanish club, Corrida de To dos, will hold its first meeting of the fall term Thursday, at West minster house from 7:30 to 9 p. m. tonight. A feature of the evening will be learning “La Chaparrita,” a popidar Mexican folk song. Card tables will be arranged for those wishing to play Spanish card games, and those students famil iar with the games will demon strate them. This meeting is open to all stu dents of Spanish, and Carl J. Furr, graduate assistant and president of the club, urges all freshmen in terested to attend. About 50 were present at the last meeting.
