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

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

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.

Community Chest
Drive on Campus
Progresses Well
The campus division of the Com
munity Chest movement is com
paring very favorably with the
drives instituted in other parts of
the city, according to R. 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

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.

swift passages, and its grim death

The audience’s favorites were
among the encores, including
“Mother Machree,” “Drink to Me

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.

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.

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. The coming leaders of
peace times have been destroyed

ularly to the gymnasium for box
