VOLUME XXXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1933 NUMBER 14 Oregon Frosh Subdue Rooks By Count of 7-3 Borden Punches Enemy Line for Score STATERS KICK COAL Duckling Power Plays Gain More Than Oregon State Passes; Breaks Bring Points Led by Elmore Borden, half, and Joe Murray, end, the Oregon frosh beat the Oregon State rooks 7 to 3 in the first of their annual “little civil war” series here last night. The Webfoot yearlings outpowered the Orange babes, making 11 first downs to the visitors’ five. The first half was scoreless, with neither team showing a great deal of advantage. It was in the last half that the rooks found their passing attack unequal to the Oregon eleven’s power drives. Borden Scores With the score 3 to 0 against them in the third quarter, Borden punted to Woodman on the rook 20-yard line. Woodman fumbled, and Murray, right end for Oregon, recovered on the rook 10. Nye, substitute left half, gained five yards in two plays through the right side of the rook line. An offside penalty moved the ball to the one-yard stripe and on the next play Bishop, plunging full back, gained one-half yard. Bor den crashed around the rook left tackle for the score. Murray’s kick was good for the extra point. The rook score was also made by taking advantage of the oppo nent’s tight spots. Shortly after the kickoff in the third quarter, Brandis passed to Woodman on the frosh 29-yard line, where Bor den downed him. The green-jer seyed babes held and Woodman kicked out of bounds on the frosh two-yard line. Bishop in a hurried kick, sent the ball out of bounds on his own 11 and the rooks were again in scoring position. Alan Wilson, end, crashed through, how ever, and recovered Brandis’ fum ble on the Oregon 14-yard line. Failing to move out of dangerous territory by line plays, Borden kicked, but Hub Tuttle, rook end, blocked the punt and then recov ered the ball on the frosh 11. In three plays, Woodman gained five yards, but the ball was in the cen ter of the field on the six-yard line. Woodman scored the rooks’ three points with a place kick from that position. Frosh Outgain Books The frosh consistently outgained the rooks. In the first half they netted 101 yards from scrimmage to the State yearlings’ 50. In the second half the frosh netted 65 yards, all from scrimmage, and the rooks gained 12 yards from scrimmage and 51 yards from two passes. The frosh did not com plete a pass, one of their attempts being intercepted by Tuttle. The punting was almost even, the rooks holding a slight edge. For 10 punts the staters averaged 27 yards while for seven punts the frosh averaged 26 yards. Bishop for the frosh and Wood man for the rooks did most of the kicking. Borden of the frosh and Swanson and Coward of the rooks also punted. Murray kicked off twice for the frosh, averaging 48 yards. Swanson also kicked off twice and averaged 35 yards. Borden Stars Borden was the outstanding ground-gainer on the frosh eleven. He was injured late in the last (Continued on Page Four) All Aboard for Seattle, Cry Of A ll; Delts Brave Elements By NEWTON STEARNS By airplane, automobile, train, boat, and possibly by road they go, one and all bound for the same objective—the annual struggle of the century in Seattle at which Oregon will either down or be downed. Late this afternoon the campus seemed practically deserted as the student body, or most of it, left town. The most popular method of travel seemed to be the over crowded campus “limousines,” in cluding the now widely known “Carmen" or “Agnes” or simply “The Delt Ford.” A list of the brave Delts who were traveling in the haphazard puddle-jumper was not obtainable, but only two members were left in the house this morning. It is rumored that the ever-loyal Delts have the utmost confidence in their faithless steed and that they did not take train fare as some of the idle gossips would have us believe. In spite of the general use of cars, the Southern Pacific is not overlooked. Many energetic root ers, who did not have friends with lizzies, utilized this economical means of transportation. The Southern Pacific also is providing a much cheaper but less ritzy class of transportation on their freights, i (Continued on Pacje Three) rMush!9 You Huskies Butch Morse (left), stalwart wingman of Prink Callison's Oregon team, and Ralph Terjeson, sturdy quarterback of the Webfoots, who will be among the Ducks trying to lash the Huskies into submission this afternoon in Seattle. Initial Gathering Eugene Tonqueds Wednesday ^foon New President, Lois Margaret Hunt, Takes Charge of Council Meeting Tonqueds, an organization of Eugene women attending the Uni versity, held its first council meet ing Wednesday noon at Young’s restaurant. Lois Margaret Hunt, new president of the group was in charge. Helen Garrison, elected president last year, is not in school this term. Members of the council are: Lois Margaret Hunt, Roberta Moo dy, Ruth King, Adeline Adams, Catherine Coleman, Mae Schnell backer, and Margaret Nebergall. Plans for a membership drive were drawn up with the following as captains: Frances McDermott, Helen Goold, Pauline George, Joan Shelley, Eunice Elliott, Charlotte Hewitt, Rosalind Grey, Jean Lew is, Eloise Knox, and Ethel Thomp son. Janet Hughes was appointed to represent the group among the freshman women as Thespian. Tonqueds is open to any girl who lives in Eugene and is attending the University. Mass meetings and socials are held twice a term. A formal ball is held during Christ mas vacation for all local students and those not able to go home for the holidays. Dean Hazel P. Schwering is the adviser. L. O. Wright Receives Petition for Honorary A petition has just been received by Prof. Leavitt O. Wright of the Romance language department, who is national president of the Spanish honorary society, Simga Delta Pi, for a chapter to be es tablished at the New Jersey State College for Women. This will be called Alpha Beta chapter and will be the 26th of the society. Gamma chapter at the Univer sity of Oregon was established February 3, 1922. This year's president is Juan B. Rael, instruc tor in Romance languages. Beauty Added to Art Building by Students’ Efforts Mosaics, Tile-work, and Frescoes Are Contributed by Art School Class Although most of the buildings on the campus, after being built and decorated by professional architects, remain the same year after year, there is one which does not. This is the art building. Every year since this structure was built, something has been added to it to make it more at tractive. An interesting observa tion is that this work is done en tirely by the students in the art school. This fall’s contribution, which has already been started, is the painting of designs on the ceiling rafters of the patios. Each stu dent uses his own original design, which must be in harmony with the others, the whole group pre senting a varied and unusual ef fect. The main objectives are to give the students practical training while they are learning, and to gradually make the building an object of beauty to which each amateur artist may say that he has contributed something. The art building is the only one on the campus which “belongs” to the students to the extent that they spend their leisure time there en joying the beauty which they helped to create, remarked an in structor there yesterday. Some recent examples of work done by students are mosaics and tile work in the corridors, ro tunda, and floors, and frescoes on the doors and wy.lls of the corri dors. The school hopes that this work will continue until the en tire building expresses the crea tive instincts of the art students. Campus Calendar Dial will meet Monday evening at 7:30 at Jean Riddell’s, 1829 Emerald. Westminster Girls’ Guild will meet on Monday from 8 to 9 o’clock. Work wiU continue on scrap book. Mrs. Sallee will review the second chapter of the book “Christ in In dustry.” There will be a meeting of Thes pian Tuesday night at 7:30 on the sun porch of Gerlinger hall. Lost and Found Depot Busy as Balmy Days Cause Lax Memories The warm weather continues to cause lax memories, and the University depot reports that gloves, belts, eversharps, foun tain pens, and books have been [ turned in. Those of you who wake up I some morning to discover a book or a fountain pen miss ing, should consult the lost and found department, before be | coming worried. University Art Classes Apply Freer Method Trials Aim to Develop Student Ability BROADENS PURPOSE Vincent, Hart Direct Frcc-Dasign Work; Students Like Flan, Says Instructor A freer method of teaching art is being used this year in the art school under the direction of An, drew Vincent, professor of arltand Lance Hart, associate professor of drawing and painting. “The work is planned with the needs of two groups of students in mind, the students planning for a professional career in the arts, and those interested in developing an appreciation and understanding of them,” said Vincent in discussing the course. “Feeling as we do that the most direct and certain route to appreciation is through an un derstanding of the processes and the creating with them, the work of the two groups is practically identical except that in individual criticism the different needs are kept in mind and suggestions on procedure are made accordingly." Ability Stressed He feels .that all persons possess to some degree, a design ability, and the actual work is being planned to develop this ability, This is done by experiments on the part of the student with free de signing, the playing with and ar ranging of line, color, and tone in various media. Since the resulting forms are entirely abstract, they must rely for their interest entire ly on arrangement and “showy in terests,” which seem to confuse the student artist and stand in the way of an early appreciation of the need for strong design. After a period of designing with no limiting factor save that of the tool used, they will begin the con sideration of limitations met in ac tual practice, area, place, purpose, media, and story. Work Planned Considerable work will be planned to develop an ability to see, purposefully, nature as a lim itless source of design material and, to accomplish this, material of different sorts will be used and studied, and abstractions made from them. “There is nothing particularly new in the intent,” declared Vin cent. “All g*od artists have al ways done these things—all good teachers have made the effort to reach the same end, to develop creative designers. The thing that is attracting attention and com ment is that the students are not ‘making pictures,’ which so many seem to think is what artists are supposed to do; that there are not dozens of canvasses dedicated to some jugs of flowers and what-not; that these in the drawing class are creating designs in which there is no likeness to a bust of Caesar or a plaster torso, that the stu dents in the compositions classes are arranging color solely to satis fy themselves and not to perpetu ate the glories of an autumn land scape or a bushel of apples, three pumpkins, and *a squash or two. True enough, these things are ob served. "Professor Hart’s class in com position visits the market and brings back vitally interesting ab stractions, or drops in at the city power plant to note the organisa tion of the elements there. Students Satisfied “And the students like it—of (Continued on Page Three) Powers Author of New Printing Book in Libe “Early Printing in the Oregon Country” is the title of the book recently added to the Pauline Pot-' ter Homer collection in the li brary. Dean Alfred Powers of the University extension school, is the author. According to the title page, the book was published as a keepsake by the Portland (Oregon) Club of Printing House Craftsmen in an edition of 500 copies. It is il lustrated with^ facsimiles of title pages of early books printed in Oregon and with pictures of the first presses used. Missionaries were instrumental in bringing printing to the Oregon country. Many of the first books were in various Indian dialects and were used in the education of the Indians.

Willamette Seeks President, Result Of Resignation Former University of Washington President Reported Being Considered Dr. M. Lyle Spencer, former president of the University of Washington, and Dr. Bruce Bax ter, dean of the school of religious education at the University of Southern California are being con sidered by the board of trustees of Willamette university to fill the vacancy in the presidency of that institution, the Salem Statesman said yesterday. Dr. Carl Gregg Doney, presi dent, filed his resignation last year to take effect at the end of the present academic year. The board of trustees, with whom the final decision rests, in cludes Amedee Smith of Portland, R. A. Booth of Eugene, Judge James G. Crawford of Portland, Rev. B. Earle Parker and Rev. Thomas D. Yarnes, both of Salem. Library Contains Dictionaries, but Not for Hungary How many dictionaries are there in the library ? Three or four ? On consulting the library card cat alog the actual number of English dictionaries is seen to be far great er. In fact, 44 dictionaries of the English language are listed. Some, however, are not written in Eng lish, as they are intended for the use of foreigners studying Eng lish. One kind that the library does not have is a Hungarian diction ary. M. H. Douglass, librarian, ex pressed regret at the library’s in ability to fulfill this recent unus ual request. Most of the dictionaries includ ed are on special subjects. There are four or five unabridge dic tionaries for general use, the 1933 revised and re-written edition of Eunk and Wagnalls new standard dictionary just having been - re ceived. W. G. Beattie Explains Extension Plan in Bend W. G. Beattie, associate profes sor of education, was in Bend re cently at the request of people there to explain work being done in correspondence classes by the Oregon state system of higher ed ucation. He was also in Klamath Falls at the request of women’s clubs there for a similar meeting. At Bend 50 people met at the high school. More than one hun dred met at the city library at Klamath Falls. As a result of these meetings two or three study groups will he formed in each city. Beattie Visits Taylor While on his recent trip, W. G. Beattie, associate professor of ed ucation, called on Dr. Arthur S. Taylor of the Southern Oregon Normal school. Dr. Taylor is in structor at a regular class of the extension division of the Univer sity of Oregon which meets regu larly Monday nights at Medford. i ‘Get-Acquainted’ Smoker Held by Students of Law Many Noted Judges and Lawyers Are Entertained by Law School Classes The annual third year law school “get-acquainted” smoker was held Thursday evening at the Crafts man’s club with Bill Goodwin, president of the law school stu dent body, acting as chairman. Judge G, F. Skipworth, Justice of the Peace Dan Johnston, and sev ; eral members of the Lane couiity bar, including President Donald Husband, E. O. Immel, William Bartle, Gordon S. Wells, F. C. Hef fron, William East, Otto Frohn mayer, and L. L. Ray, were intro duced by Dean Wayne L. Morse of the law school. The members of the faculty gave short speeches. Dale Brown played several piano selections, followed by three skits presented by the freshman, junior, and senior classes of the law school. Refreshments of dough nuts and cider concluded the smoker. "It was a most successful af fair,” said Professor Orlando J. Hollis, faculty member in charge of the smoker. "I believe such oc casions serve to bring into closer contact the bar, the faculty, and the students of the law school.” Mrs. Collins Adviser Of Advertising Group At the meeting of Gamma Al pha Chi, women’s advertising fra ternity, held Thursday afternoon at 4 o’clock in the College Side, Mrs. Spencer Collins was re elected chapter z 'viser. Because too few members were present for a quorum in voting, no official business was discussed. There is to be another meeting of Gamma Alpha Chi late next week, at which it will be decided where and when the regular meet ings of the organization will be held during the school term. Co-op Has Art Supply Store in Art Building The art supply shop, which is a branch of the Co-op, was changed at the beginning of the school year from a "cupboard” to a very con venient store in the art building. Most of the materials needed by the students are located there. “The faculty is backing us and we try to make the shop efficient,’’ said Robert Van Nice, manager. The store is open from 9 to 10 in the morning and 1 to 2 in the af ternoon. f Oregana of 1934 Will Have Campus Idea as Main Sectional Theme The Oregana next spring will stress the campus idea throughout its sections, accord ing to the announcement made at the year book’s editorial staff meeting held Friday afternoon. Announcements will be made on Tuesday as to the schedule of photographs to be taken of the living groups for the year book. Webfoot and Husky Ready for Struggle On Seattle Gridiron Oregonians Are Determined to Hold Purple Scoreless for Sixth Season; Cripple List Smaller By MALCOLM BAUER The eyes and ears of Pacific Northwest football fans will be oa Seattle today when Oregon’s Webfoots tangle with the Huskies of the University of Washington in their annual gridiron classic. The Lemon-Yellow and Purple elevens stand out as the only two undefeated and untied major teams in the northwest, and today's game will go a long way in deciding the standard bearer of the northern division this year. Faint rays of hope were today beginning to pierce the clouds of injury which have surrounded the Oregon squad for the past week, and betting odds in Portland and Seattle gave Prink Callison's ma chine a good chance to lengthen their five-year record of “air-tight” football against the Huskies. Until last year’s scoreless tie at Port 'Shots’ Are Fired By Law Students In Smoker Stunt An argument and fight in the law school corridors Thursday which caused Dean Wayne L. Morse to schedule the offenders to appear before the disciplinary committee started up again that night at the law school smoker and grew more and more heated until it ended in an attempted “shoot ing” of Arthur Clark by John Ca sey, both law students. Not until after the whooping the audience discover that the whole thing had been planned by the second year class as their skit in the smoker. Dean Morse was a party to the stunt, and posted the notice regarding the disciplinary | committee in order to give an air of reality to the escapade. So good was the acting of th^ boys that about 80 per cent of the audience believed the argument to be genuine. Professor Writes Literary Article The October issue of Studies in Philology, one of the outstanding American journals devoted to the study of literature, contains an ar ticle written by George William son, assistant professor in the i English department of the Uni versity. The contribution, entitled “The Restoration Against Enthusiasm,’’ discusses reasons why the seven teenth century style of writing, such as Milton’s has given way to the modern style of plain prose, such as the writing of Thomas Dreydon. The author also shows how people have come to lay less stress on the idea that poets are divinely inspired. Williamson, who went to Eur ope on the Guggenheim fellowship, did research work at the British museum for this and other articles which will be published later. Article Written by Rael Accepted by Magazine, Instructor Juan B. Rael of the Romance language department has been notified of the acceptance by Modern Language Notes mag azine, of his article, “Cosa Nada in New Mexican Spanish,’’ and it will appear in the next number. Rael is making a detailed philo logical study of the language used in the folk-lore of the Southwest, and this is the first of a series of articles in this field. •land, Oregon had rolled up a string of four victories over the northerners without allowing a Purple ball carrier across their goal. Many Stars in Tilt An army of candidates for all American recognition will get a chance to match football skill with one another. Opposing the Web foot stars, Mike Mikulak, Mark Temple, and Bernie Hughes, will be such highly touted pigskinners as Bill Smith, pass-snatching end; Art Ahonen, triple-threat half back; and Ole Hansen, Ahonen's slippery running mate. Smith is hailed in the sound city as the greatest end on the coast, and a cinch for all-star mention. He is big and powerful, and brings to mind the all-American Dave Nesbit, who cavorted in the same position last year. He is just as good on the defense as on the of fense, and his pass-grabbing hab its have placed him up near the top of the Coast scoring column. Temple In Shape His teammates, Ahonen. and Hanson, have been the big sur prises on the Husky squad, and are bound to cause plenty of trou ble-for the Ducks today. The for mer is a great kicker, a slippery open field runner, and uncannily accurate with his passes. In his role as a triple threater he will be forced to match play for play with Oregon’s co-captain, Mark Temple, who, despite a stiff leg, should be no slouch in the ground gaining department today. In case Jimmy Phelan’s story about “Socko” Sulkosky’s leg in jury is on the up-and-up, “Iron Mike” Mikulak should have things his own way in the race for line plunging honors. The iron man can always be counted on for a few yards in a pinch, and on the defense he is admittedly one of the outstanding backs on the Coast. Duck Line Has Edge Oregon’s line, absent the much needed services of “Biff” Nilsson at right tackle, is an unknown quantity. Last Saturday the Web foot forwards didn’t look so good against the lighter Columbia line, but in the Gonzaga game a week before they worked smoothly. In comparing the Webfoot and Husky lines after meeting both teams, Mike Pecarovich, Gonzaga coach, gave the edge to the Lemon-Yellow huskies. The success of the Oregon for wards will largely depend upon Gardner Frye, wh6 has been shifted from guard to take over Nilsson’s tackle post. If Frye fits into his new position well under fire, Ahonen, Hanson, Muczynski, and company are going to have a (Continued on Patje I'our) Burt Brown Barker Picks Up 'Questionable’ Hitch-Hikers “Didn’t you feel it was danger-1 ous, driving down from Portland, I with those criminally insane men from Salem loose?” Burt Brown Barker, vice-president of the Uni versity, was asked when he visited the campus yesterday. “Oh, I kept on the lookout for them,” he replied. “I made four attempts to cap ture them. First, I saw two boys walking along the side of the road. I thought they looked crazy, so I picked them up. They must have been. They were walking from McMinnville to Newberg to see j their high school team play foot ball. "Just after I left them, I saw another man who looked danger ous, and picked him up. After talking to him, I decided that he certainly was crazy. He was walking to Amity to see his sweet heart. "Finally, I picked up a deter mined - looking man, whom I thought must certainly be one of the fugitives. He was a jockey who had ridden in the races at Gresham and Salem, and who, af ter being thrown, had decided to forsake the race tracks. Before long, however, he succumbed to their call. He was hitch-hiking his way to California to enter the races again. Was he crazy, too? What do you think?"
