development of their relationship
with the University.

Former Speaker of House
Played Pro’ Ball In Youth
-4 --:
IDdph Hamilton Appointed
Member of Oregon Dad's
Executive Board
From college baseball to ama
teur league games, from univer
sity law professorship to speaker
of the house in the state legisla
ture, Ralph S. Hamilton, a visitor
on the campus last week-end, con
tinues his career* before the public
as a newly appointed member of
the executive board of Oregon
Dads.
Mr. Hamilton was graduated
from the University of Missouri
in 1905. While there he was .ac
tive as the pitcher on the college
baseball team, but before he left
school he decided he didn't want
to play professional ball and de
termined instead to travel over the
country and play on amateur
town teams here and there. Dur
17
ing 1907-08 he played with the
St. Louis Browns, :in American
league group. “1 wasn’t an aw
fully good hitter,” he admitted,
"but it was my business to keep
the other teams from hitting.
“Later I drifted West and taught
for two years in the University of
Oregon law school. This was from
1910 to 1918, during the war.
Most of the able-bodied men en
listed as soon as war was declared
and the classes on the campus
were very discouraging a few
girls and a couple of boys on
crutches trying to carry on.”
After teaching. Mr. Hamilton
went to Bend to practice law, and
six years ago was elected speaker
of the house of representatives in
the state legislature, which posi
tion he filled until a year ago.
While on the campus Mr. Ham
ilton has been visiting his daugh
ter Gay, a member of Kappa
Kappa Gamma sorority.
WITH THE DADS
Judging' from the number of
mothers who were on the campus
on Dad’s Day, the mothers will
have a good chance to beat the
Dad's Day record if they show as
much enthusiasm next spring as
they did last week-end.

George W. Hug, superintendent
of schools at Salem, who was a
charter member of Beta Theta Pi
on the Oregon campus in 1907,
slept in an “upper” at the Beta
house Saturday night as a guest
of his son, Wallace, a pledge at
the Beta Theta Pi fraternity.
‘•They’re all right for college men,"
said Mr. Hug of the upper bed,
"but give me my own bed."
One Oregon Dad is also a Stan
ford Dad. He is I>r. G. L,. Sobey
of Paso Robles, California. Doctor
Sobey missed the Stanford-Califor

Dad’s Day activities. Doctor So
bey is the father of Gifford Sobey,
a member of the Sigma Nu fra
ternity on the Oregon campus.
Doctor Sobey has a daughter who

Dad’s Day proved to be also
Granddad’s Day when three Dad's
Dads were present at the festivi
ties. They were, respectively, H.
W. Goddard and A. A. Kadderly,
granddads of Mary Katherine Ken
ton and Anna Pauline Rea; and

"It has been a most enjoyable
occasion for me and I intend to
come back when Dad’s Day rolls
around again,” said Curtis G. Feld
man, who was a Dad’s Day guest
of his daughter, Inez Feldman, a
junior in the school of journalism.
“As long as you give us Dads
one week-end like this every year,
we won't mind paying the bills,”
remarked T. L. YVhitmer, of Port
land, when discussing the high
cost of a college education with
one of the students. Edna Marie
Whitmer, freshman in music and
Sigma Kappa pledge, is the daugli
| ter of Mr. Whitmer.

"The Emerald is the best col
lege paper on the coast, in my

much of his time in the school of
journalism.

Paul Steinmetz, Portland mer

Spirit Unchanged
Says Drain Dad
CTIIX loyal to the Oregon that
k 7 lie attended and proud of the
great University which h i s
daughters are attending is Les
lie I’. Miller, an Oregon Oad
who graduated from the Univer
sity of Oregon ill I DOS and who
was guest of his twin daugh
ters, Juanita Miller and Willetta
Miller Hartley, on Dad’s Day.
Mr. Miller is superintendent of
I schools at Drain, Oregon.
“Oregon spirit today is over
whelming,” said Mr. Miller
proudly, hut he loyally added,
“We had real Oregon spirit back
in 1004. There were only 400
of us, and the Oregon spirit of
11200 students today isn’t eight
times as great as it was then.”
“People scoffed at President
P. I.. Campbell when he said
that the University would have
two or three thousand students
within 20 years,” Mr. Miller said
in reference to the present size
of the University. He added, “It
is a great feeling to come back
I to a greater Oregon and see my
daughters boosting for Oregon
with the same feeling that I
have for the alma mater.”

Psych l,ul> Receives
New Sound Instrument
A new instrument for demon
stration and measurement has
been added to the psychology lab
oratory this year. It is a phono
projectoscope, an instrument which
records sound waves including
overtones so that they can be seen
by the experimenters.
Its practical use is demon
strated by the accuracy with
which it shows the difference in
trueness of tone between a tuning
fork and such unreliable mediums
as the human voice or a violin.
Telegram Editor
Says Expansion
Is Oregon’s Need
Brockhagen Wants Dads |
To Ask Funds of State
For University
I:i a Dad’s Day interview, C. H.
Erockhagen, editor and publisher
of the Portland Telegram, dis
cussed the present standing and
the potentialities of the University
of Oregon.
Mr. Brorkhagon believes that
Oregon’s greatest need is one of
expansion and at the annual meet
ing of Oregon Dads last Saturday,
he was active in appointing a
committee of Dads to go before
the state legislature in January to
make an appeal fur funds for this
project.
He emphasized the fact that at I
present Oregon has one of the;
finest schools of journalism in the i
country and that the school of \
music has received international j
recognition. He also stated that
newspaper men consider the Em
erald an excellent collegiate pub
lication.
Mr. Brockhagen predicts that in
the near future Oregon will be one
of the greatest university printing
ceniers in the United States. John
Henry Nash, the famous printer,
became interested in the Univer
sity after seeing the Oregana,
which lie rryiks as the second best
yearbook !n the United States.
Since then Mr. Nash has presented
the University with many rare
volumes on printing.
Vergil Subject of
Poem by H. Woods
Dr. Nash Prints Special
Eilition of Work
When the Italy-America society
issued a call for a poem in honor
of the 2000th birthday of Vergil,
Henry Woods, S. J., emeritus pro
fessor of the University of Santa
Clara, responded with “Laudes
Virgilinae.”
The poem is written in hex
ameter verse and contains about
three hundred lines. It is written
in the native tongue of Vergil, and
the phrasing and rhythm reflect
his style.
Dr. John Henry Nash, world
j famous printer, then printed the
! work on his private press for dis
I tribution.among his friends. Dean
Eric W Allen was recently pre
sented with one of these copies.
This piece of work is of interest
because Doctor Nash is at present
| visiting in the Northwest and will
attend a banquet given in his
honor in Portland on October 28.
It is also of interest because the
University has so recently been
celebrating the birthday of Vergil.

“ATHLETE’S foot”
YOU don’t have to be an ath
lete to get "Athlete’s Foot.”
Men who do their daily dozen in
the library giving the old bean a
big workout; and the boys who
do a mental marathon in class
but never try for the track—as
well as those who really do give
their muscles to Alma Mater—
any and all are just so much good
red meat to the tiny germ which
has spread this ringworm infec
tion everywhere. Tinea tricho
phyton is its name and it’s the
cause of "Athlete’s Foot.”
In universities from Pennsyl
vania to California, it has been
found that 50'To of the men have
it. The U. S. Health Service has
reported that "at least half of
all adults suffer from it at some
time.” Co-eds are not immune
from this trouble, either.
It lurks in the very places
where we all go for cleanliness
and health —on the edges of
swimming pools and showers—
in gymnasiums—on locker- and
dressing room floors. In spite of
modern sanitation (you lipve to
boil socks 15 minutes to kill it)
this fungus parasite infects and
re-infects bare feet almost any
time they come in contact with
damp floors.

Tests in a famous New York

tissues deeply and that wher
ever it penetrates, it KILLS the

It might not be a bad idea to
examine your feet tonight. At
the first sign of redness between
toes, itching, peeling or blisters,
douse on Absorbine Jr., and
keep a bottle handy in your

after every exposure of bare
