By J. A. 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.”

becomes more and more degraded
until he commits murder. He es
capes from a chain gang and puts
to sea as a stoker. 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.
The winning rally float and the
two runners-up will be exhibited
on the field between halves as a
special feature of the Homecoming
tilt, according to Tom Stoddard,
assistant graduate manager.
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. Reserved tickets sell for
$1.65, general admission tickets
for $1.10, and children’s admission
25 cents. High school students
will be admitted for 25 cents on
presentation of their student body
cards.
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!

i noise, crowd, and anything else

I again, Gone again, Flannigan.”
Examinations Will Be
Supervised by Taylor
Professor Howard R. Taylor of
the psychology department has re
ceived a letter from Dr. Karl M.
