Oregon Knights
Withdraw From
National Group
Organization Not Living up
To Original Purpose,
Greve Says
Local Sophomore Service
Honorary Suggested
By President
The Oregon Knights organiza
tion has withdrawn^ from the Na
tional Intercollegiate Knights be
cause they have become bankrupt
and are unable to pay their dues
in the national, and because the
club has not lived up to its origi
nal purpose, it was announced last
night by Karl Greve, president of
Oregon Knights.
“The organization has disbanded
and will not officiate on the cam
pus again,” said Greve. “It has
become more of an honor club
than a service organization. An
honorary of this type is handi
capped by affiliation with a na
tional. I do, however, most heart
ily recommend the forming of a
local sophomore service honorary.
It is a distinct need and the local
is by far the most successful, or
so it has proven throughout the
campuses of the country.”
The local chapter was invested
with the Intercollegiate charter
May 2, 1922, and from that time
has held an important position on
the campus. Some of its official
duties were to usher at all ath
letic contests, to meet visiting
teams and make arrangements for
them, and to uphold the traditions
of the University.
Emerald Ad List
Being Distributed
Advertisers Deserve Help,
Says Gregg
A list of Emerald advertisers is
being compiled and will be sent
around to the various house man
agers the first of next week in
order that the houses may con
sult the advertisers before making
any purchases, according to Jack
Gregg, advertising manager of the
Emerald.
“Inasmuch as the advertisers
are assisting in the support of a
student-sanctioned activity, I be
lieve it only fair that we give them
as much student patronage as is
possible,” said Gregg. “The Em
erald this year is carrying more
advertising than it ever has be
fore. This, I believe, is indicative
of the increased confidence of tire
merchants in the Emerald as an
advertising medium as well as a
desire to keep in touch with the
University- I hope that their con
fidence can be justified and their
gestures of friendliness returned."

this group the regular varsity team

tend, as they will speak on the

There will not be any tryouts for

Intricacies of Finance Are
Revealed in Unique Course
Dad’s millions are safe! Or
other expressions to that effect.
Whether dad believes it or not,
son will soon be taking Wall street
for the long, long count, for he
is preparing himself in personal
finance in the school of business
administration.
Under the tutelage of John M.
Rae, a bunch of the boys are
whooping their way through huge
tomes * collected for their especial
benefit in the business ad refer- ]
ence room. The ponderous editions
of “Poor’s,” “Moody’s Manuals," j
and the “Standard Statistic Serv
ice’’ are becoming as familiar to
them as the works of Robert
Service, and the journals of finance
and investment are as light read
ing as Captain Kidd.
Gone are the days of carefree
trips to Corvallis via the Southern
Pacific in which the personal
finance boys once devoted their
energies to making whoopee and
cow-calls. Today, if you watch
closely, you may discern a small
and quiet group carefully inspect
ing the equipment. Don’t be,
alarmed; they are probably only
evaluating the rolling stock, de
spite the fact that their rooms
require furnishing. •
"The personal finance course
was created as a result of a pop
ular demand for a course of this
character because of the suddenly {
increased public interest in invest
ments during the last decade,”
said Professor Rae. Prior to that
time, he said, the average investor
knew only of notes secured by
mortgages and trust deeds, but
since, the public has learned that
it is able to share in the industrial
profits and has demanded the in

Slaters Make Desperate
Attempt To Seore, But
Oregon Holds
Morgan Taken To Hospital
With Concussion
Of Brain
After pushing- over a touchdown
ir. the first period, the Oregon
Frosh let the Oregon State Rooks
sweep them off their feet in the
next two cantos without a score,
only to come back strong in the
last quarter to score again, giving
them a 13 to 0 win over the Or
ange and Black yearlings last
night on Hayward field.
Using a powerful line attack the
Frosh rushed the ball into the
Staters' territory at the start of
the game. An intercepted pass mo
mentarily halted the Frosh of
fense but they were not to be de
nied and after short line plunges
Lillard, Temple and Kennedy had
placed the ball on the 6-yard line,
Temple threw a pass to Lillard on
the sidelines for a touchdown. Lil
lard’s try for the extra point
failed.
Staters Come Back
The Staters came back strong
in the second quarter and with
Biancone and Joslin carrying the
ball pushed the Frosh backs deep
into their own territory. Four
times they placed the ball within
the Frosh 10-yard line only to lose |
the ball on downs. Once they had !
the ball on the 6-yard marker with
four tries for a score. The Oregon
line braced, however, and threw
the Rooks back to take the ball
on downs. The Rooks made more
than 150 yards from scrimmage in
the second and third for the
Frosh’s 26.
DePittard’s Pass Scores
In the fourth quarter the Frosh
snapped out of their lethargy and
after a 25-yard end run by Lillard
which placed the ball on the Rooks'
36, DePittard threw a long pass
to Lillard on the goal line. This
time Lillard’s goal-kick was suc
cessful, making the score 13 to 0.
The Rooks made a desperate at

Loving Cup Will
Be Awarded For
Winning Menu
Plans Finished for Health
Week, Scheduled To
Start Monday
Faeulty Members Comment
On Newest Addition to
Oregon Traditions
A silver loving cup, donated by
Miss Florence Alden, director of
physical education for women, will
be presented to the women’s or
ganization submitting the best
menu for Health Week, November
17-21, Ethel Mason, chairman, an
nounced yesterday.
Since Health Week is expected
to become an annual campus
event, it was thought fitting to
have an award that could be pre
sented each year. The cup will
be engraved with the name of the
winning house and will be the pos
session of that house until next
year, when it may be won again
or passed on to the new winners.
House managers are to submit
their menus to Mary Agnes Hunt,
not later than 5 o’clock Thursday
afternoon. The judges of the
menus are yet to be chosen.
Presentation Friday
Presentation of the cup and
other awards for Health Week
will be made at a social afternoon
next Friday from 4 to 5:30 o'clock
in Gerlinger hall.
A display of proper shoes,
through the courtesy of several
shoe stores, will be in a window
of the Co-op next week. Eliza
beth Jones is in charge.
As Health Week is a new week
on the Oregon campus, several in
terviews with prominent campus
folk regarding their opinions
brought forth the following com
ment:
Dean of Women’s Statement
“Every week should be a health
wee k,” Mrs. Hazel Prutsman
Schwering, dean of women, re
marked yesterday. "Calling at
tention to good health rules is an
excellent idea; I am certainly in
favor of anything that would em
phasize good health, because it is
so important to a college man or
'“V WdVIUUVU.
“I am glad the girls are inter
ested in Health Week,” Mrs. Ot
tillie T. Seybolt, of the drama de
partment, said last evening. “Fit
ness of their bodies has a great
deal to do with the fitness of their
powers to express themselves,” ;
she continued. “Even in every
day life good health affects the
quality of the voice,” and in con
clusion, "I am interested in any
thing that stimulates an interest
in keeping fit, because human
powers to accomplish things are
so much better under these cir
cumstances.”
Allen To Attend Meet

Eric W. Allen, dean of the school
of journalism, and Arne G. Rae,
field manager of the Oregon State
Editorial association, will journey

Villard Janitor Victim
Of Oregon Studes’ Rally
The janitor at Villard was much
amused by the rallyers when they
entered that building and paraded
through four times yesterday

he looked into Villard assembly
and saw the ruins. He spent the
i next hour rearranging the chairs
according tci their numbers.
Bell Field, Corvallis
To Be Scene of Annual
'Civil War’ Grid Classic
Staters After First Conference Victory; Oregon
Will Make Hard Fight To Retain
Perfect Record
By JACKSON BURKE
Armistice day lias come ami gone and liosfdities will be
resumed today when flic University ot' Oregon Webl'oots meet
the Oregon State Beavers on Bell field in Corvallis.
It lias been a hectic week of “bear” stories, rumors, denials
and all the rest of the pre-game festivities, and today will see
the settlement of all the differences that have been talked of
since last year’s classic, which Oregon won, 1G to 0.
Coach Clarence W. (Doe) Spears lias spent the past week
remodeling the Oregon team, endeavoring to fill the gap left
when Captain John Kitzmiller was injured in the game with
Nancy Thlelsen (right) and Helen
Miehlke, who take the leading
feminine roles In “Holiday,” to be
presented at Guild theatre on
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
of next week.
Group Journeys
To Peters Lodge
Mrs. Smertenko Is Elected
Honorary Member
Mrs. Clara Smertenko, associate
professor in the department of
Latin and Greek, became an hon
orary member of the prose and
poetry group of Phiiomelete at a
supper-meeting held Thursday
night at Peters lodge.
Besides the members of the
group, guests at the meeting were
Mr3. Alice B. Macduff, assistant
dean of women; Mrs. A. B. Shel
ley, and Marguerite Mauzey, pres
ident of Phi Theta Upsilon, upper
class women’s honorary, which
sponsors the hobby groups.
There were 14 in the party.
Tickets Must Be Bought
Before 9 o’Clock Today
Students planning to attend the
Oregon-Oregon State game today
are urged to purchase tickets be
fore 9 a. m., said “Doc” Hobnett,
assistant graduate manager, last
night. Oregon State officials must
know at that hour how many are
going to be there. Space will be
allotted in the Oregon rooting sec
tion for the number of tickets pur
chased by that hour.
the Ucla Bruins last Saturday.
What he has accomplished re
mains to be seen in the manner
in which the Webfoots conduct
themselves this afternoon.
It is true that the Lemon and
Green stock dropped a few points
when it became assured that the
"flying Dutchman" would not be
the mainstay of the Oregon team
in this game, but with the pass
ing of the past week the strength
of the Webfoot line has again
made itself apparent and the stock
has ilsen again.
Beavers Want Win
Oregon State wijl be fighting
for a conference victory, which is
something they haven’t had as yet
this year. They have come close,
very close, a number of times this
season, but as yet have not tasted
victory over a member of the Pa
cific Coast conference.
Oregon, on the other hand, will
be fighting to maintain a record
which has as yet been equaled by
only a handful of teams in the
country—that of being undefeated
this year.
Which of these facts will pro
duce the better mental attitude
also remains to be seen.
Schissler Quiet
Paul Schissler, Oregon State
coach, as not announced his cam
paign or plan of action for today’s
game, but with the efforts of the
Oregon State college to secure the
services of the redoubtable Joe
Bedcovers Jr., it is assured that a
passing attack will be attempted
except in the event that the game
is played in a rain. Joe will keep
the center portion of the field free
of mud and unless the ball gets
wet, a passing game may be suc
cessful.
Ralph Buerke, who has been a
sensational passer this season, is
in shape for today’s conflict and
if he is in form an interesting
long-range passing attack may be
expected.
Doc Shears is equally reticent
about the Webfoot plans. This,
however, is as it should be. The
strength of the new backfield
combination is unknown at the mo
ment and it is hard to say what
it can accomplish.
Oregon’s chances are based on

Flashlight Could Burn Years
On Light Used For Night Game
By JAMES BROOKE
If one would start an ordinary
flashlight burning at 12 o’clock
sharp this noon, the current con
sumed by the lights at one night
football game on Hayward field
would keep it burning continu
ously until 3 minutes and 50.4 sec
onds after 10 p. m. on the day of
September 22, 6189 A, D., or in
oilier words, if flashlights had been
invented by the cave men and
some cave youth had left his on
after the midnight revels of 2328
B. C., it would have shed light
down through the dark ages
through the Light of Asia, to Aug
ust 14, 1930, A. D., at 3 minutes
past 8 a. m., it was revealed last
night after much laborious compu
tation.
Likewise, the same amount of
current would run an average ra
dio 8 hours a day for 1 year, 16
hours, 57 minutes, and 11 seconds.
During this time, it is estimated
by reliable authorities, the Parlor
Propagandists could be heard so
many times that they would be
come distinctly a nuisance and un
doubtedly would be run out of
town.
Figuring at the rate of three a
minute (this is Utopian service)
one could make 1,018,363.6 rasp
berry malts in the 50,918.18 hours
that the current would run a
shaker.
The 168 kilowatt hours consum
ed in lighting the field would also
keep a lone solitary average size
electric light bulb burning in Hen
dricks park for 1120 hours, if it
were not broken during that time.
Similarly, an expert could iron
901 handkerchiefs in the 84.9
hours that the current would run
