UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1932 VOLUME XXXIV NUMBER 23 SCHOOL BILL PUT UP TO STATE ELECTORATE Voters Choose ILS.President At Polls Today Ilooscvelt Slated To Win Over Herbert Hoover ODDS STAND 5 TO 1 (i.O.P. Backers Hope for Another Upset Like That of 1916; Oregon Bullions State The voters of the United States j of America go to the polls today ' to elect a chief executive for the next four years. Their choice is expected to be Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Democratic nominee, and a fifth cousin of Republican President Theodore Roosevelt, far famed as lieutenant-colonel of the Rough Rider troop in the Spanish American war. Roosevelt’s run ning mate is John Nance Garner, speaker of the house of represent atives, and for three decades a congressman from Texas. Opposing Roosevelt will be the present incumbent of the presi dency, Herbert Clark Hoover, Re publican. Running with him, as he did four years ago, will be Charles Curtis, vice-president of the United States. In 1928 the familiar Hoover-Curtis ticket was a one-sided victor over a Demo cratic combination of Alfred E. Smith and Joseph Robinson. Looks Like Roosevelt Straw ballots conducted by the Literary Digest and the Hearst newspapers, the latter solidly be f hind Roosevelt, have given a de cisive margin to the Democratic nominee. Lesser polls, especially those taken among special groups such as college students and pro fessional people, favor the presi dent. The main hope held out by Re publican newspapers and partisans is that the trend of the public opnion will be similar to that in 1916. In that year Charles Evans Hughes, distinguished Republican, was a universal favorite. He went down to a narrow defeat before Woodrow Wilson. G. O. P. sup porters pray that this November's ! situation will be analogous to that j of 16 years ago, when the betting j favored Mr. Hughes by laughable | odds. Last night the current odds were 5 to 1 on Roosevelt. G. O. P. Still Hopeful Oregon is considered a doubtful state, although the generally sa gacious predicters believe the commonwealth will go Democrat ic, its naturally Republican in , clinations notwithstanding. The state’s two principal newspapers, the Republican Morning Oregon ian and the Democratic Oregon Journal, have conducted the bulk of the verbal campaigning. Both Eugene newspapers, the Register-Guard and the Morning News, favor Hoover. If Univer sity students vote in reality today as they did in the Emerald’s straw poll several weeks ago, they will cast the bulk of their ballots for the president. Hoover received GO per cent of the campus votes, against only 27 per cent for Roosevelt. T.R. JP as the Pohtican of the Roosevelt Family When This Happened ... The ®,bove >Md ®nd colorful football panorama shows the dashing University of Oregon gridiron eleven of 1894 marching through Albany college, 44 to 2. Prink Callison, Herr Mikulak, Senor Morgan, Monsieur Morse and the other Webfoots weren’t even born when this happened. The date of the stirring encounter was March 24. The lads got mixed up and played baseball in the autumn and foot ball m the sprmg. The field is located where Commerce and Oregon halls and the Y. M. C. A. now stand. In the background to the left is vallard hall. Note the many small trees that today are giant firs. These were planted through the endeavor of the late Oean John Straub. Although the crowd was considered large at that time, even double its number at a present-day game undoubt edly would give Hugh Rosson nervous prostration. Cal Young, pioneer of Lane county, was coach of the Oregon lads when they per formed in such dashing style as above.

Education Week Set The week of November 7 to 11 has been set aside by the National Education association as Ameri can Education week. Each day of the week will be devoted to some particular phase of education. This week will be observed by the Elementary and high schools of the state with appropriate programs. Campus Is Unusually Quiet Preceding Decisive Election Dy JULIAN PRESCOTT It was the day before election ^ and all over the campus men and women were talking-—no, not about the election, but about the everyday things of university life, classes, ball games, bridge, dances. That doesn't stand absolutely unqualified. A few were discussing the possibilities of Hoover and Roosevelt in the presidential race. A slightly larger number was still perturbed somewhat about the Zorn - Macpherson consolidation bill. But as far as congressional, state, county and local candidates and the 12 other measures on the ballot were concerned, the student voters were, as a whole, silent. In terest in the whole election seemed to have waned. Downtown it was a different story. Business men were bustling around. But their activity was confined largely to what the vot ers are going to do as to one bill entitled: “Bill moving university, normal and law schools, establish ing junior colleges.” A few were still talking about state and local elections. Most of the voters who had read over sample ballots were in some what of a daze. Five possibilities for president. Six for United States senator. Five for represen tative in congress. Nine for state legislators. All in all just 60 i names on the ballot. And then 13 j decisions to make as to measures referred or initiated. Prognosticators were tending to favor Roosevelt, but some conced ed that Hoover had been gaining considerably in some sections. Betting odds were strongly in fa vor of Roosevelt. I Predictions as to the outcome of the consolidation contest were much more definite. Campus lead ers were strong in their prediction of defeat of the measure—that is a victory for the University. The prospects of a holiday Wed nesday should the measure fail, (Continued on Page Three) Line-Play and Teamwork Bring Back Beaver Bacon By DAVE WILSON How about the individual cogs in the great Lemon-Yellow grid machine that pushed over Satur day’s victory? It is only natural that the spectators should give most of their attention and the newspapers most of their space to the flashy backs that tote the ball, get off the long punts and throw the fast passes. But what are the linesmen, the blocking backs, the interferers doing when the crowd roars approval of a brilliant run or a flashy play? Temple’s brilliant run would have stopped far short of the end zone if Captain Bill Morgan had not been ahead to block out the Oregon State safety on the ten yard line. Oregop would not have been in position for that first touchdown if Butch Morse, who turned in a fine performance at left end, had not fallen on Bian cone’s fake-fumble before it could roll out of bounds on the O. S. C.’s 33-yard line. Right-end Chuck Wishard, aided and abetted Bill Bowerman, wing back for that side of the line, ] made the going mighty tough whenever O. S. C. tried an end run or off-tackle play in their di rection. Stan Kostka didn’t carry the hall much, but without his blocking and heady performance mighty Mike Mlkulak's line smashes wouldn’t have gone as far as they did. * * * Don’t let Temple’s winning run blind you to the fact that his punt ing saved the day for Oregon. O. S. C. counted on Keith Davis to boot a wet ball five to ten yards farther than Temple, but when the average yardage was figured up, Davis was only two feet to the good, or an average of 33 yards to 32.4 yards for Temple’s kicks. And with Davis booting them out of bounds on Oregon’s five and ten yard lines every so often, the wonder is that Temple got air except one of those "be hind-his-own-goal” kicks back to mid-field. * * * Give Morgan, Frye and Hughes their share of the credit for that first touchdown. After Biancone’s (Continued oh Page Four) Wall Names Men To Help Dismantle Festival Arches The following men have been selected by Allen Wall, presi dent of the freshman class, to assist in taking down the homecoming arches.

Here No More i _ ' • Rumors Not Verified by Officials, However WAS SCOUT 2 YEARS Mentor in Question Came West With Doe S|>eirs in Spring Of First Seuson By BRUCE HAMBY Rumors that John J. (Jack) O’Brien, assistant varsity football coach, and the associated students had severed connections were common gossip on the campus yesterday. The rumors could not be verified, although members of the football squad and campus news correspondents were sure of the truth of the reports. Neither Ronald H. Robnett, as sistant graduate manager, nor Prink Callison, head football coach, had anything to say on the matter. Hugh Rosson, graduate manager, is en route to Los An geles to arrange details of the Oregon-U. S. C. game, and could not be reached. No Meeting To Date O’Brien has not been seen on the Oregon campus for several days. To date he has not con ferred with A. S. U. O. officials and no official discharge or resig nation has been released by the graduate manager’s office. A final announcement on the authenticity of the rumors should be forthcoming within a few days. /\CU‘ll 11H tlCOUl The Webfoot coach came west With Dr. C. W. Spears in 1930. Under Spears he acted as assist ant varsity coach, specializing; on end coaching and scouting. When Callison was appointed to succeed Spears, O’Brien was retained in the same capacity, although most of his time was spent scouting Oregon opponents. He was also expected to 'tutor the freshman baseball and basketball candidates this year.

Campbell, be cause the conversation seemed to keep going off on tangents such as the number of feet ruined at open house or the merits of the presidential candidates. But fi nally the most essential facts were gleaned. Wallace J. Campbell, who is one of the four Rhodes scholarship candidates from the University of Oregon, finished his fourth year last June. He was selected as a Rhodes scholarship candidate last year also, but was defeated. At present he holds a graduate as sistantship in sociology, while taking ten hours of graduate work. While attending the University he wa3 very active in the public speaking world, debating for three years on the varsity, and al30 participating in after-dinner and extemporaneous speeches. Last year he, together with Rolla Reedy and Hobart Wilson, toured 3000 miles through California and Arizona, debating economic ques tions at ten colleges. He was also a representative to the Pa cific Forensic League conference. At the time of his graduation he received $100 in the Failing-Beek man prize for senior oratory. He was a member of Delta Sigma Rho, debating honorary, as well as the sociology honorary, Alpha Kappa Delta. Scarcely had this information been obtained when the conversa tion began going off ends again— this time concerning his summers during the four years of college. It seems that the summer after his freshman year, he drove a six horse team in Saskatchewan, Canada. (He has lived a great part of his life in Canada, al though he was born in Montana and attended high school in Eu gene.) The next summer he in (Continued on Page Three)
