OCTOBER 23, 1930 NUMBER 16 ’Pep’ Dancing Friday To Stir Oregon Spirit Free Rally Entertainment At McArtlinr Court Is Planned Dad’s Day Prelude Headed By Chairman Brian Mimnangh The first rally dance of the year will be held at McArthur court Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock, to stir up pep for the Dad’s game against the University of Idaho eleven, to be played on Hayward field Saturday afternoon.

Appreciation for the cooperation of the student body in the two ral lies held in Portland was expressed by Mimnaugh. The affairs were considered the best ever staged in the Rose City and several compli mentary reports have been receiv ed by the committee. Dads To Root “The Dads will probably have their own rooting section at the game, as they have done in past years," Mimnaugh stated. “It will be up to the Oregon students to turn out for the game and show them that we have the old Oregon spirit and that we enjoy having our Dads here as our guests.” The big Oregon band will again offer its share in the program and several new tunes have been pre pared for the occasion.

Dr. Hodge Receives Amusing Letter From Japanese Boy Dr. Edwin Hodge, geology pro fessor, recently received a letter from E. J. Boku, a Japanese boy whom he met while abroad a year ago. Ke met Boku on a ship going from Chosen to Shimnesho. Boku was returning to Korea, his home, j from Matsue, Japah, where he had j been attending high school. The ; letter gives a slant on life and problems of a Japanese boy of about the same age as a university student. "I am going to enter the Tokyo or Kyoto Imperial university,” Bo ku writes. “My father wishes me to study law or economics, but I am going to enter the department of esthetics. Why? I don't know and can’t tell it. I like esthetics very much and like economics too, but I don't like to study law.” Boku continues by telling some thing of conditions in Japan. “In Japan,” he writes, “every thing is developing day after day with great speed. All has much changed since you visited here. But yet, I am sure, she is in a childish condition of European cul ture. She is now striving to get on the summit of it and, also I am sure, she will conquer it soon. For instance, we have air traffic now, and I can return home (Korea) from here in only three hours. We have the so-called Ultira express, since the first of this month, and the express train runs with great speed.” “Japan is now in a dilemma be tween Americanism and Russian ism. Communism and other social isms are prevailing here.” “I want to read good books,” he concludes, “about the Movie and the Talkie Won’t you introduce them to me?" (Signed) E. J. Boku.

The critic for the New York American calls it "a chorus of striking qualities and many-sided abilities, with lovely vocal quality, infinitely appealing shades of tone, and propulsive rhythmic firmness and vitality.” The chorus comes by its name honestly, for it was founded at the order of the czar in 1858.

Freshmen To Use Many New Plays In Rook Contest Joe Lillard Likely To Play Half; McLellan Back At Center Several new plays given out by Coach Prink Callison early this week were gone over thoroughly yesterday by the frosh squad so that a varied attack may be used against the Oregon State Rooks Friday night. Although the starting lineup will not be known for sure until just before the game, several men seem sure to see action against the Rooks. Joe Lillard, speedy half back brought from the East by Coach Spears, appears to be a “natural." A clever passer, speedy, shifty, and above all, a smart player, he will undoubtedly prove to be a main cog in the yearling machine. Fred Kennedy, the 220-pound fullback from Sand Point, Idaho; Howard Bobbitt, ex-Commerce high star; Ray Kelly from Tacoma, Bill Benston from Portland, and Romey DePittard, McMinnville, are among the backfield men most likely to play.

(Continued on Page Three) Instructor Kambles Across England in Tiny Blue Car "We, Florence Evans and my self, rambled all over England this summer in the Blue Cow,” said Florence Alden, head of the physi cal education department in speak ing of her summer vacation. “We hired a little English car, a Morris Cowley, that was a cross between a Ford and an Austin. It was blue so we shortened the last name and called it the Blue Cow. "We took turns driving it over the country and enjoyed it im mensely. We spent one evening in a 14th century country manor, in the ball-room of which Lady Mary was reputed to have danced. “The odd thing about foreign cars is the placing of the driving apparatus on the right side of the car. We had to drive on the right side of the road, make all our turns differently, and do all our parking backwards. “They have so many queer terms tor our American names, over there. They call the traffic cop the ‘man on point duty,’ because he stands out there in the middle ot the street and points this way and that way." (The latter was with demonstrations.) “And they call the low gear the bottom gear. “In the evening when one takes the car to the garage there is no receipt given nor collected the next morning. I don’t see what was to prevent one from parking a little Morris-Cowley in the evening and returning in the morning and pick ing out a big Pierce-Arrow and driving away in it.
