Break Into Scoring Column
Against Braves
By NED SIMPSON
Rolling up a score of 19 point:
in the first half and 14 in the sec
ond, the 1932 Duckling grid
machine overwhelmed the Red
skins from Chemawa, 33 to 0. Tht
game was full of thrills, with lonf
runs by Milligan, McCredie, ant
Gordon, bringing the crowd to it:
feet time and time again.
The Indians put up a stubborn
defense, especially when theii
goal-line was threatened.
The Indians kicked off to start
the game. The frosh returned it
for 20 yards. Then, on a series
of end runs and reverses, featureu
by the running of Milligan and
McCredie, the frosh forged down
the field for their first touchdown,
made by McCredie. He missed the
kick for point. Exactly six plays
later, McCredie tallied again for
the frosh. Arey bucked through
center for the extra point. The
yearling line showed a world oi
power, breaking wide holes
through their lighter opponents.
Second Quarter
The second-quarter began with
the Redskins backed up on their
own 5-yard line. They kicked to
their 35-yard line. The Ducklings
once again started on a ground
gaining rampage, but the Indians
held for downs on their 3-yard line.
The Braves kicked to their 33, and
it was first down for the frosh.
Michek went through tackle for
seven. Mountain, on a reverse,
made it another first down on
the Indians’ 16-yard line. On the
next play Joe Gordon took the ball
to Chemewa 3-yard line. Michek
bucked it over for the third score,
and Gordon missed the point.
Score—Frosh, 19; Chemawa, 0.
The frosh kicked off to the Indians
again, and the half ended with the
ball on the Indian 20-yard line.
The frosh kicked off to begin
the second half, and Dumont, In
dian lineman, was hurt. He was
replaced by Andrews. Chemawa
kicked, and Milligan, McCredie,
and Michek ambled down the field
for another tally—Milligan mak
ing the score and conversion.
Score—Frosh, 26; Indians, 0. The
yearlings kicked off again, and
Torrence, playing a great game at
left end, recovered the ball.
One-armed Player Stars
On the next play, a pass, Wilder,
star halfback on the Chemawa
team, who has only one arm, in
tercepted the toss and streaked
40 yards down the field before he
was caught by Milligan. The In
dians were forced to kick, and the
frosh started another march into
the Redskins’ territory. The quar
ter ended with the ball on the In
dian 10-yard line.
The beginning of the third quar
ter found the yearling first string,
with Leemans in the lineup for the

Origin Of Pigger Lowly One;
'GirV And 'Pig’ Feature Root
“Pigger,” “Pigger's guide,” and
“pigging,” have grown to a prom
inent place in the argot of Oregon
students. It is a- phrase peculiar
to Oregon alone, and as far as is
known, is not found at any other
college in the United States.
For the benefit of those recluses
who do not know the exact mean
ing of the term, it is well to define
it. "Pigging" is the verb used to
denote attentions to the fair sex.
The “pigger’s guide,” then, is the
accepted student phrase coined to
dispense with the more harshly
formal one of “student directory.”
The history of the word, mean
ingless as it may sound, actually
is sound and logical. The popular
and generally accepted theory of
its origin, according to Dean James
H. Gilbert, is as follows:
Along somewhere in the gay
nineties, a young man who resided
in Friendly hall made a practice
of absenting himself regularly
during the evenings. His destina
tion on these nocturnal missions
became a subject of considerable
discussion and speculation. When
questioned as to his habits, he re
plied that he was visiiting a farm
er in the College Crest district
and studying some exceptionally
fine blooded pigs in the possession
of the farmer.
This explanation far from satis
fied his suspicious fellows, and
they undertook' to ferret out the
real motive, reasoning that his vis
its were far too frequent and ex
tended for any student to make in

20.000 To Attend
Game At Portland,
Reports Robnett
A crowd of from 15 to 20
thousand people will attend the
U. C. L. A.-Oregon game in
Portland today, it is estimated
by R. H. Robnett, assistant
graduate manager. Continued
fine weather will mean a great
ly increased attendance from
general admission sources,
probably amounting to 8,000 or
9.000 persons.
At the last report of the
ticket sale at the Co-op, be
tween 300 and 500 students had
purchased their pasteboards,
compared with the thousand or
more sold last week for the
Washington game.

Essays for Frosh
Reading Contest
Due Next Monday
Thirty Dollars in Books To
Be Presented by Co-op
As First Prize
Everything from Zane Grey to
Nietsche may feature in the essays
for the freshman reading contest,
which will be due this week-end,
the Co-op announces. The contest
is an annual feature sponsored by
the Co-op and the University li
brary.
Thirty dollars worth of books
from the Co-op is awarded as the
first prize, with other prizes in a
lesser quantity. Students who
signed up last year for the con
test will compete, using the books
that they have read during the
year as the subject for the theme.
No definite type of book must be
reviewed, but the awards will be
made chiefly on the value of the
essay in treating with the books
covered.
An atteiTipt should be made to
show the effect of the works read
upon the reader’s philosophy and
to show what he got out of the
books. Last year’s winner was
James Brooke, at present a junior
in pre-medics.
All work should be handed in at
the Co-op by Monday at the latest,
Miss Roberts stated.
Bill Advocates
Renew Activity
OnSchoolMove
Proponents of Measure
Ignore Figures
NORMALS ATTACKED
Buildings and Classroom Space
At Oregon Claimed To
Be Inadequate
By ALEXANDER G. BROWN
Renewed activity on the part of
the proponents of the Zorn-Mac
pherson bill and their continued in
sistance in making claims that
do not hold water in the light
of the bill itself, brings to the fore
certain facts that should be kept
in mind by Oregon alumni in their
work against this measure which
seeks to rob them of their alma
mater and wreck higher education
for Oregon at a greatly increased
burden to the taxpayer.
Chief among the claims of the
would be school movers is the
statement that the buildings on
the University of Oregon campus
are ramshackle, old, and about
ready to fall to the ground. Any
alumnus knows this to be untrue
and the obvious falsity of the
claim only serves further to cre
ate distrust of the proponents of
the bill. In fact there are 30 ser
viceable buildings on the Univer
sity campus, more than half of
them of new and excellent con
struction. The bill’s advocates
have consistently ignored official
figures, crediting the University
with only 89,819 square feet of
classroom and office space while
generously crediting the state col
lege with 251,800 square feet. The
official figures from the state
board of higher education are 130,
649 for the University and 205,456
for the college. The large amount
of laboratory space at the college
requires more floor space, and the
federal survey states that there ir
20 per cent greater use of the
plant at Corvallis than at the Uni
versity, implying that there is
greater room for expansion at Eu
gene than Corvallis.
Sufficient Acreage Here
In the catechism of arguments
for the bill Is also found the argu
ment that the acreage at Eugenr
is not sufficient to allow for ex
pansion. The fact of the matter is •
The University now owns approxi
mately 100 acres on the campur
proper, which exceeds Corvallis by
0 acres. The University of Minne
sota has 14,000 students as com
pared to about 2,500 to 3,000 at
the University of Oregon, and yet
is able to accommodate these stu
dents on a campus of 105 acres;
California has 19,235 students or
152 acres; Yale 5,290 on 70 acres
Modern efficiency demands con
centration, not vast parklands.
The bill’s backers cry: “This bill
will save 20 million dollars -in 20
years.” Even if the statement
were true; the last part carries
considerable significance, and is
the joker in the pack. This year
and next year and probably the
next decade and a half there would
be no savings, but large capital
outlays for new buildings and the
huge expense of getting an entire
ly new set-up for higher education
functioning smoothly. By the time
the promised heaven of 20 years
hence arrives, taxpayers will be
30 bled and beaten that should the
promised saving materia/ze—of
which there is no proof that it will
—many taxable properties will
have been confiscated. The pro
ponents have been asked in this
connection, “What allowance have

ed with insolvency due to con
stantly increasing delinquent taxes
and heavy bonded Indebtedness
could be saved from this predica
ment, and the delinquent taxpay
ers aided at the same time was
proposed by J. L. Hope, city at
torney, and George Garrett, city
manager, of Astoria, at the meet
ing of the League of Oregon Cities
here yesterday. The plan will be
referred to the legislative commit
tee of the league and if recom
mended the organization will seek
to have legislation passed at the
next session putting the plan into
operation.
Under Mr. Hope’s plan taxpay
ers would be allowed to buy up
municipal bonds, which in some
cases at present are selling as low
as 20 cents on the dollar, and
apply them at par value for taxes:
In this way the delinquent prop
erty would be paid up, with the
possibility of again collecting
, taxes in full on it, the taxpayer
would be enabled to clear himself
of the heavy indebtedness, and the
city could be saved from bank
ruptcy forced by the bonded in
debtedness load.
A committee to draft legislation
on city problems was appointed at
the close of the session by William
H. Briggs, city attorney of Ash

with the group. Other members
are J. L. Hope, city attorney of
Astoria; F. P. Farrell, city attor

Contest To Be Played in
Portland Stadium
EXPECT FAST FIGHT
Webfoots Fare Third Successive
Hard Battle; Bobbitt Will
Replace Mlkuiak
By BRUCE HAMBY
PORTLAND, Oct. 14—(Special)
—Once more Portland assumed a
holiday air as it made ready to
watch Oregon and the University
of California at Los Angeles bat
tle tomorrow afternoon in a Shrine
benefit football game. The annual
charity event starts at 2 o'clock
at the Multnomah stadium.
Festive airs were not so appar
ent tonight. Only a small pro
portion of the huge crowd of Ore
gon rooters present last Saturday
were in Portland for tomorrow’s
game. The lack of Washington
rooters was more than made up
by colorful Shrine bands and high
school students who are backing
the game.
Game to be Colorful
Tomorrow’s game will have all
the color of a three-ring circus.
Massed band concerts and drills
by uniformed Shrine bands and
drill teams will precede the game.
Between halves special entertain
ment has been planned.
The Westwood Bruins are stak
ing all on a victory. Since their en
trance into the Pacific coast con
ference four years ago, they have
considered Oregon one of their
chief opponents. Every one of the
four contests between the two
schools hai been close and bitterly
fought.
Oregon Faces Hart Tilt
Oregon is facing its third suc
cessive tough game. U. C. L. A.
has been pointing for this game
since its victory over Idaho three
weeks ago. The entire Bruin stu
dent body is more enthusiastic
over this game than any of the
year, according to rooters accom
panying the team.
Last year the Webfoots won, 13
to 6, in Los Angeles. Mike Miku
lak, crashing fullback, and his
aide, Howard Bobbitt, were the
big guns of Oregon’s offense.
Bobbitt will have another crack at
the Bruins tomorrow as he backs
the line in Mike's place.
Bruin Hopes High
Bruin hopes soared high tonight
as fair weather and a fast field
loomed. The Uclans plan to em
ploy an aerial attack to score,
and a dry field will be necessary
for its success.
The stand of Oregon’s forward
wall against Washington last Sat
urday impressed Bruin scouts with
its stone-wall power. So Coach
Spaulding is banking upon his
speedy backs and a passing attack
to score a victory.
Bobbitt will be the only replace
ment in the Oregon backfield.
Bowerman will be in the quarter
back position and Temple and Gee
at the halfback berths. Stan
Kostka, 210-pound right half, will
very likely play, but only for a
short while. The injured shoulder
that kept him out of the Husky
game is not entirely mended.
Oregon Lineup Named
Oregon line will be the same as
in last Saturday’s game: Bailey

Knowledge Of'Buttonholing’
Denied By Frosh President
By JULIAN PRESCOTT
Comes now the recently elected
president of the freshman class
and expresses regret that rumors
of questionable tactics in the re
cent freshmen election are being
circulated to the point of a com
munication being addressed to the
editor of the Emerald.
Allen Wall, president of the
yearlings, yesterday, at the solici
tation of the Emerald, made the
following statement:
“If buttonholing went on at the
polls during this freshman elec
tion I did not know a thing about
it. I would hate to think I won
my office by this practice and feel
justified in saying that if this
method was used it was absolutely
unknown to me.
“If an excuse is needed, which I
do not believe ia necessary, it
would be due to the fact that the
freshmen were overzealous in
their efforts to win their first
campus election and did not real
ize the seriousness of the offense.
“If buttonholing was used in
the election, which I firmly be
lieve was not, I am sorry and as
sure you that in the future I will
do everything in my power to put
a stop to such practice a3 this or
any other method used that could
possibly reflect on campus poli
tics at Oregon.”
The feeling among many stu
dents who observed the election
last year and the one this year is
that blame for the tactics of the
yearlings can largely be put on up
perclassmen who urge the fresh.
