every available combination of
fered by the green material at his
command. The lineup of players
running through signals last night
was his final choice.
In the backfield, Doc shifted
Pozzo from fullback to quarter
>. back to keep him in the lineup and
take advantage of his great of
fensive strength. At the half po
sitions are Leighton Gee and
Mark Temple, both fast, shifty
ball-carriers and good interference
runners. Temple will probably do
most of the passing for the squad,
as he has the most accurate throw
on the team. Gee will do most of
the kicking and pass-receiving.
Tackle Positions Strong
At -the ends will be Bowerman
and Wishard. Both these boys
started out the season in the cen
ter of the line. Bowerman tried
out at quarterback in the first
practice after the squad returned
from U. S. C. Bowerman is the
best bet on the offense, while
Wishard is a hard-playing, aggres
sive, defensive man. Both weigh
over 190.
The tackle positions will be
filled by Nilsson and Morgan in
all probability. Nilsson is playing
his first year and Doc has chosen
j. him for this position in the games
so far this season as he tips the
beam at over 220. Bill Morgan,
at the other tackle, has been hand
icapped for a part of the season
by a sore shoulder muscle, but his
size and drive elect him a prob
able starting position in the line
up. At center, of course, will be
Eric Forsta, who is acting captain
in the absence of Schulz. Forsta
is one of the best ball-passers in
the conference and is strong on
defense.
Winters Out
A big hole was opened in the
Oregon line yesterday when it was
announced that Laurence Winters,
end, would be out for the rest of
the season with a broken leg-bone.
The extent of the injury, sustained
in the game with the Trojans, was
not fully realized until yesterday
morning. As a consequence, Win
ters must wear a cast on his leg
for at least four or five weeks.
In the final workout before
leaving for the East, Spears scrim
maged the second team against
the freshmen, the varsity on the
offensive using mostly off-tackle
plays and passes. After the lights
were turned on, the Frosh were
sent to the dressing room, and the
team spent the next half-hour run
ning through signals in three
squads.
List Released
Those making the trip with the
team are: Doc Spears, head coach;
Bill Reinhart, backfield coach;
Bill Hayward, trainer; and Jack
Dant, student football manager.

Hall Announces
New Slating for
PIPA Convention
Conclave Is Scheduled for
Homecoming Week;
Hearst Invited
In response to a poll of popular
sentiment among members of the
Pacific Intercollegiate Press asso
ciation, conducted by Vinton Hall,
president of the body, the date of
the annual convention of the asso
ciation, which will be held on this
campus, has been changed to No
vember 12, 13, and 14.
The change was made in order
to enable those Washington dele
gates who had been unable to at
tend on the earlier dates to ar
range to be present.
“Many delegates,” states Hall,
“have written their appreciation
of the selection of the new dates
for the conference, which coincide
with those of the first of the an
nual Oregon-Oregon State joint
homecomings.”
Hearst May Attend
Word has not been received from
William Randolph Hearst, inter
nationally known newspaper man,
as to the possibility of his attend
ing the session, but as he signified
his intention of attending a meet
ing in the future when he was un
able to make an appearance last
year, it is hoped he will find it pos
sible to attend this year.
Because of an extended illness
King Wilkin, the association’s ex
ecutive secretary and director of
publications at the University of
California, will be unable to attend
this year.
Arrangements have been made
for the housing of the delegates
during their stay on the campus at
the new men’s dorm.
To Receive Applications
During the conference the asso
ciation will discuss the possibility
of taking in new members to be
selected from daily, weekly, and
semi-weekly papers in the college
field. In doing so it is asking the
publications in this group to send
an application for membership to
the association.
The conference will be started
off with a luncheon Thursday
noon. Thursday and Friday will
be devoted to business, and a ban
quet followed by a dance will be
the event of Friday evening. Sat
urday afternoon the delegates will
be guests of Oregon at the annual
grid classic of the two state insti
tions, after which they will be
among the guests at the homecom
ing dance that evening.
The committee chairmen as an
nounced by Hall are: Larry Jack
son, program; Barney Miller, en
tertainment; Bob Allen, speakers;
Phil Cogswell, housing; and Willis
Duniway, regular business.

length. Those from Eugene who
attended this meeting were: Helen
Chaney, president of the Y. W. C.
A.; Margaret Edmunson, secretary
of the Y; Ann Baum, president of

That more interest is being

the following phases of industrial
ism : the effect of industrialism

similar topics.
It is also the desire of this group
to get in touch with those who
have actually had experience in
the industrial world and to learn
the conditions of the working pop
ulation in this community.
The group will culminate its
work in industrial week which
comes in the month of January.

An Answer
_EDITORIAL_
f^OW we're getting somewhere.
Responding to the Emerald's
demand yesterday for an inves
tigation of the campaign and
voting in the recent freshman
class elections, Brian Mimnaugh,
president of the associated stu
dents, lias promised the full co
operation of the student admin
istration. We appreciate his
stand greatly.
Mimnaugh has two plans to
prevent illegal voting at campus
elections. They call for identifi
cation of voters by the use of
individual photographs on stu
dent body cards, and the signa
tures of student voters at the
polls as they receive their bal
lots. Both plans could well be
used together, we believe.
The Emerald, let it be under
stood, is attacking neither fac
tion of the recent freshman
campaign in its investigation.
We want all campus elections
cleaned up, and fully believe
there is no time like the present
to start the good work.
Plans on Campus
Luncheon Taking
Form, Says Lyle
Homecoming Directorate
Announces Progress
At Meeting
Plans for the biggest Homecom
ing in the history of the Univer
sity broke with a bang at a snappy
Alexis Lyle
neeting of the di
rectorate in
charge of the big
affair last night.
Alexis Lyle,
Klamath Falls,
chairman of the
luncheon commit
t e e , announced
that plans had
already taken
form with the
committ e e ex
pecting to serve
5000 people in
ui iuvu who uruenueu iwo
years ago.
The luncheon will be served in
McArthur Court between 11:30 and
1:30 with a charge of 50 cents to
the alumni. All students will be
required to present their student
body cards at the door. A banquet
for alumni not wishing to enter
into the college spirit of the lunch
eon will be served at the same time
in the men's dormitory.
Plan Innovations
Plans are under way to bring an
orchestra from Portland to furnish
music while the guests partake of
a box lunch. This will be an inno
vation on the campus anu the box
lunch idea is expected to greatly
speed up the serving. An addition
al feature will be the pledging to
Friars, senior activity honorary for
men.
The general meeting of the di
rectorate was marked by enthus
iasm from all present, and the an
nouncement that the merchants of
Eugene were wholeheartedly coop
erating in every way to make it
the biggest event of its kind in
history added to gusto of the oc
casion. The merchants are already
making extensive plans for the
decoration of the whole city in
stead of limiting the gala touch to
the campus district as in the past.
Committee Named
The complete list of the commit
tee appointments for the luncheon
are:
Assistant chairman, Bob Hall,
Eugene: secretary, Helen Chaney,
Eugene; menu, Louise Ansley,
Portland; serving, Nancy Suomela,
Portland; music, Helen Burns,
Portland; tickets, Howard Ragan,
Eugene; tables and assignments,

Alteration in By-Laws of
Donut Sports Announced
The intramural sports adminis
tration board has announced a
change in the by-laws governing
donut athletics. It concerns the
eligibility of frosh numeralmen,
md the alteration is in Article I,
Section 2(b).
The revised rule now reads as
follows: A student who has re
ceived a frosh award may not
compete on a team in that partic
ular sport until after one school
year of inactivity in that intra
mural sport on this campus.
ASUO Officials
Pledge Aid In
Election Probe
Joint Investigation With
Emerald Planned
Plans Under Consideration
For Elimination of
‘Dirty’ Balloting
DISFRANCHISED VOTERS
STILL SOUGHT
Any freshman who found his
name crossed off on the polling
lists and was deprived of his
vote in the class election last
Friday is asked to leave his
name in the box provided for
the purpose in the library of
the school of journalism, room
10 Journalism building.
Cooperation of the student ad
ministration in the investigation
of questionable practices in the
freshman election last Friday was
assured yesterday by Brian Mim
naugh, president of the student
body. The investigation was start
ed by the Emerald last week and
will be continued with the help of
student body officials.
Two plans for the prevention of
illegal voting have been under con
sideration by Mimnaugh since he
took office last spring. The first
of these involves the use of a pho
tograph of the holder on each stu
dent body card. Under this sys
tem, the student body would use
the pictures taken by the Univer
sity as a part of registration pro
cedure, and it is believed that this
would prove a positive means of
identification.
Require Signature
Under the second plan, the stu
dent would be required to sign his
name on the poll list at the time
he votes. This signature, accord
ing to the plan, would be compared
with that on the student body
card, thereby checking the use of
the cards by anyone other than
the owner, according to Mim
naugh.
! Another project under consider
ation is that of a limitation of
campaign expenditures. Much un
favorable comment has arisen out
of campaigns in recent years,
where dances, printed booklets,
banners, airplane stunts, and other
expensive forms of advertising
have been used in the interests of
candidates.
Clean Spring Election Plan
If the proposed plan were put
through, such practices would
either be entirely eliminated or so
curtailed as to be of little value,
according to Mimnaugh. It is be
lieved by student officials that
cleaner campaigns would result
from such a limitation.
“The Emerald and the student
administration should work hand
in hand on this investigation,”
Mimnaugh said yesterday. “The
student administration has already
taken steps looking toward clear
ing such matters in the future, and
it is hoped that something definite
can be accomplished in time for
the elections this spring.”
Y.M.C.A. Student Officers
Elected on Frosh Council
Will Discuss World Problems at
Group Meetings
Carroll Pawson was elected pres
ident of, the Freshman Council of
the Y. M. C. A. at a meeting held
in the “Y” hut Tuesday afternoon.

William Wheeler and Max Duni
way were appointed to act as a
committee to plan the social activi
ties of the council for the coming
