It is an ideal time to have the meeting for, since the next day is a vacation, they may spend a longer time in the city. Last year alumni came to the dinner from as far away as San Jose, Sacramento, Woodland, Vallejo, Palo Alto, and of course, from Berkeley, Oak land, Alameda, and the near vicin ity of San Francisco.” Meier, Spears Present At the meeting last year, as guests of honor, were Governor Julius Meier and Doctor C.

One of Senior Six Relates Reaction to Honor Received By GEORGE ROOT The old libe last night missed one of its regular customers, a fair-haired little girl with a big smile and a very business-like at titude. She was hurriedly searched for. She had to be found. There was a question to ask her. In a comfortable chair at home sat the fair-haired little girl read ing a copy of “Alice in Wonder land.” It was Thelma Lund, senior in education, who was last week chosen as one of the Senior Six by Phi Beta Kappa. There was no time lost in asking her the impor tant question: How does it feel to have been given such an honor? Thelma lost no time ii* answer ing the important question. “It ^ took me off my feet. I was cer tainly surprised. I’m awfully pleased, though,” she said. Thelma graduated from Eugene high and majored in English her first two years at Oregon. In or der to gain “a little more lee-way” for her last two years she changed her major to education. French is her favorite study and next semes ter she is planning on doing prac tice teaching in French in the Uni versity high. Her activities show a versatile range of interests. She is a mem ber of Pi Lambda Theta, national education honorary, plays a violin in the orchestra, and is head of the women’s athletic association hock ey team. “I have never definitely formu lated a method for studying,” she said. “I simply take a survey each Monday of the coming week’s work and distribute my studying accord ingly. This program often goes astray,” she added, laughing, “if one has professors who give fre quent exams.” Thelma loves to read and is building her library “book by book.” Her latest addition is a very fine English printing of Mal lory’s "Morte d’Arthur.” However, her course doesn't allow much time for outside reading, she said, as it is “a heavy reading course with ^ots of papers.” Varsity Debate Tryouts to Be Held at Villard i Twenty-One Men Sign Up For Preliminaries Lot To Determine Speaking Positions of Student Orators Twenty-one have sigjned to enter the men's varsity debate tryouts to be held tonight at 7:15 in Vil lard hall.

The first negative, and the first affirmative speakers will be given four to five minutes for constructive speeches, and two to three minutes for rebuttals.

Oregon, St. Mary’s WillMeet Annually For Next Six Years Frost Descends On Old Oregon Campus Sunday TORRRRR! Winter has come! So say the studes from sunny southland climates as they prepare for slumber with the living room rugs rolled up under their arms, with their feet swollen to inhuman propor tions Ity the addition of a dozen pair of socks or so, and with the aid of overcoats, scarfs, mit tens, and other accessories man age to convert themselves into likenesses of prospective polar explorers. But the chilly blasts do not cease with merely the practical side. They have their play In life’s little tragedies, as ike Fijis will admit, rubbing their bruised shins. It seems that some co-eds from the land of orange blos soms and eternal (?) sunshine desired to witness for the first time the effect of winter’s icy grip—and helpfully aided na ture by pouring hot water on their front steps previous to the arrival of their masculine din ner guests. Not only did the fair maidens enjoy the success of their ven ture, but the men “fell hard” for the scheme, too.

Rosson, Lefevre Sign New Contract Webfoot in Good Condition For Contest Thursday, Spears Says By HARRY VAN DINE SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., NoV. 23.— (Special to the Emerald.)—• Football teams representing the University of Oregon and St. Mary’s college will continue their annual Thanksgiving day battle in San Francisco for the next six years as a result of an agreement reached Monday by Hugh E. Ros son and Louie LeFevre, graduate managers of the two schools. The original three-year contract will not expire until the 1932 game is played, but athletic relations be tween the two schools have been 30 satisfactory that an agreement was signed to extend the games until 1937. The Webfoots and Gaels played their first game in 1929 and the contest met with such approval that a three-year contract was signed to take effect the following year. “Athletic relations between Ore gon and St. Mary’s have been very satisfactory,” Rosson declared in commenting upon the new agree ment,” and we decided to continue the annual contests through an other five-year period starting in 1933.” While the graduate managers were meeting, Dr. Clarence W. Spears, Oregon grid mentor, start ed preparations for this year’s turkey day battle. He had his Webfoots out for a light signal drill on the Burlington high turf gridiron Monday afternoon, and the Oregon squad reported in fine [physical condition after their- 13 , to-6 victory over U. C. L. A. at Los Angeles last Saturday. Colonel Bill Hayward, veteran Webfoot trainer, declared that : 'i * Spearsmen will be in their t<.. vcu* ! dition for the battle with the .Gaels, Bill Morgan, regular tackle, was the only Webfoot to be injured in the game and he is completely recovered now. Leigh j ton Gee, regular half, who was kept out of the Bruin game with injuries, will be ready to start at his old post against St. Mary's. Spears is concentrating his at tention towards building up a de fense for the vaunted Gael passing attack. St. Mary’s has consist ently used the aerial route in this | season’s play and the Oregon men , tor will work his men hard to per fect a defense for the Gael tosses, j The Webfoots arrived in the bay region early Sunday morning and are quartered at San Mateo, where | they will remain until just before game time. They went through Monday’s workout in fine spirits and are determined to end their season with a victory over Slip Madigan’s powerful crew of hus kies. Interest in the game is running high and present indications point to a large turnout for the battle. While St. Mary’s is a slight favor ite, both coaches anticipate a close game. Madigan scouted the Web foots in their game with the (Continued on Page Two) Home and Christmas Music Presented at Evans’ Recital People once more crowded the music auditorium Sunday, the late comers sitting on the steps or standing at the exits, to hear John Stark Evans present the la3t twi light organ recital for this term. The program included three numbers particularly adapted to the home atmosphere prevalent near the Thanksgiving and Christ mas season. “Largo,” from the New World symphony expressed the homesick ness of Anton Dvork, the great Russian composer, who lived for a time in America gathering mater ial for a symphony. Southern mel odies were evident, although a cer | tain Russian style seemed to be implied with the beautifully famil iar harmonies on the organ. “Improvisation on Christmas themes” made one remember long forgotten starry Christmas eves. The well-known songs were clev erly arranged with contrasts of grand and melodious themes. Joseph Clokey, contemporary California composer and organist, who is known for his light opera, “Our American Cousin,” is also the composer of “Fireside Fan cies.” This group of delightful lit tle sketches as played by Mr. Evans was particularly enjoyable. The Twilight organ recitals will be resumed next term. They have been discontinued because of the coming holidays.
