NEWTON Collegiate Utopia Among the song hits from "Col lege Humor,” are, “Down the Old Ox-road," and “Learn to Croon." The Ox-road 3ong is the one that’ll stick with you. Crosby puts them across in his usual effective way. In addition to the main feature, there is a comedy with Billy Gil bert, an imbecile very much like Ed Wynh. His hands are all over the place. He uses them about ten times as much as Zazu Pitcs and quite as well. “The Sweetheart of Sigma Chi," coming Sunday to the Colonial, is another college picture, according to reports, but doesn’t wander into the imaginative realm of today’s show. Buster Crabbe is a much better actor than most of the swimmers who have appeared in pictures. In fact, he compares favorably with a number of actors. Mary Car lisle, the sweetheart is also very good. Homecoming Treat “College Coach,” and “Hell and High Water” have been brought to the Mac in observance of home coming. The former is very sim ilar to “The All American” and other football shows. “Hell and High Water” was writ ten by the author of "I Cover the Waterfront,” and concerns the character Cap'n Jericho. It is dif ficult to take Richard Arien as an uneducated barge skipper, and Ju dith Allen, with her extreme eye brows and generally overdone makeup, looks too artificial to be hanging about wharves. “Emperor Jones,” by its very theme is bound to be worth while. Add to this the fact that Eugene O’Neill is the author of the play from which the picture is built, and it assumes considerable impor tance. Paul Robeson, one of the world's leading baritones, makes his screen debut in this show. Negroes who dance or sing or act are usually very good, simply because it’s in their blood to sing or act. Hence, we expect the most from “Emper or Jones.” The story: A Pullman porter 0lSJSJ3EIEJSEJ3J3ISIS!SEf3I3I51SlSIS/SISJ3HSIS/SISJ3JB®SIS13fSlS!3l3ISMSJSISI5l513I3E,Sj Happy Days Grads I * You may buy a Rally Tie BUT you can’t tie our Hamburgers •The mill-race is out of sea son but we go on forever. ararararanarannraiBiBnaraiiafiarai liysiaiaraoj E A Special Message to All } Oregon Alums! | WELCOME BACK TO THE CAMPUS Why not subscribe to your paper— THE EMERALD j now—while you are in Eugene?

He jumps over board and swims to an island where he soon becomes emperor. He rules despotically until he over steps himself. In direct contrast to this is “One Sunday Afternoon," with Gary Cooper. It is laid in the '80's. The boy wonders if he's married the wrong girl for a pe riod of some years. That's the story. Card Slants Will Be Shown Today By B ooting Group Card stunts are to be revived at Oregon during today's game with Utah. A special rooting section in the center of the east grand stand has been specially organized to present the first card stunts of ; the year during the half.

Students will be admitted free to today’s game on presentation of their student body cards, and will occupy stands on the east side of the field as usual. Rooters are urged to wear their yellow ties and rooter caps. A number of general admission ! and reserved seats remain on sale at the Co-op, the A.S.U.O. ticket office in McArthur court, and Obak’s restaurant and the Club Cigar store in downtown Eugene. Tickets for the Utah game will be transferred to the box office at Hayward field after 11:00 a. m. today.

Motto for Annual Event Demanded In Slang of 1923 “If any of you denizens of this institution of higher learning wish to glom them five kopeks, or scamper off with those paste boards for the Homecoming game, you had better do an Iberian one- j step on the keys of some one- j lunged typewriter and then dash | over to the little annex to the Ad ; building and deposit therein a slo gan, fitting and proper for the Homecoming festivities before this day fades into the dewy and star ry night.” With “Back to Honor Oregon" apparently established as Oregon’s Homecoming slogan, students no longer see such paragraphs as this ! masterpiece of 1923 slang which appeared in the Emerald exactly i ten years ago yesterday. And how does this picture of Homecoming strike you? “Idea?| Sure, we’ll give you one—Oregon! spirit, game with Aggies, bonfire, i noise, crowd, and anything else i that you want to take a chance j cn. Here’s one—“Back again, j Root again, Fight again, Broke I again, Gone again, Flannigan.” Examinations Will Be Supervised by Taylor Professor Howard R.

Cowdery of Stanford university, ■ asking him to Lake charge of the Stanford entrance examinations to | be given here and at Portland.

Dr. Taylor has been in charge of these examinations every year since 1925. “Patronize Emerald advertisers." gHI!:illll!!l'Ullllll:U!:!llil!i:ill!lllll!llllll!l!llli!::IUIIIllllllilllllllinl«!lltliniiiu>!h:::, Grads 3 WE WELCOME , j YOU HOME To Honor Us I and to I HONOR I OREGON i l | | Beard’s Women’s Wear 957 Willamette St. 1 : I 1____ Emerald Subscription Keeps Grad Informed On University Affairs “It's Homecoming for me al most every day,” one alumni— who doesn't live in Eugene, re marked yesterday. “With the Emerald coming five days a week.
