Vacation After
O.SX.Triumpf
McArthur Court Is Scent
Of Rally Dance
BELL MAKES DEBUT
Tongue Voice Praise of Support
fiiven Griclders and Lauds
Student Conduct
All University students and pro
fessors enjoyed a vacation yester
day as a result of the Webfoots'
win over the Oregon State Beavers
Saturday. Promises which had
been made previous to the game
that there would be no classes
Monday should the Oregon squad
prove victorious, were fulfilled by
the administration after the “bat
tle of the century” at Multnomah
stadium in Portland between the
Green and Orange teams.
To celebrate the event a rally
was held at McArthur court at 2
o’clock yesterday afternoon, when
a large crowd of students gath
ered for a program of yells and
songs, led by Mickey Vail, cheer
king.
Tom Tongue, student body pres
ident, thanked the students of the
University who attended the game
in Portland, for the manner in
which they cooperated with the
rally committee and the cheer
squad, and especially praised them
for their attitude while in the city
and at the game. Very few dis
turbances de rimental to the repu
tation of the University were re
corded, Tongue stated, and the
sportsmanlike conduct of the root
ers did much toward giving the
University a fine name.
The “victory bell,” first intro
duced between the halves at the
game, was exhibited. It made its
debut heralding the Webfoot tri
umph over the Orangemen.
The proceeds from the dance
which followed the rally were used
to pay for the bell, which will ring
lustily when the Webfoots chalk
tip further victories. Art Holman’s
band furnished the music for the
dance, which was sponsored by the
rhily committee and lasted from 2
until 5 o’clock.
Victory Bell New
Oregon Tradition
A new Oregon tradition—the
Victory bell—was inaugurated at
Saturday’s big game in Portland.
The bell was the gift of Aaron
Frank, Portland business man. For
protection from expected Beaver
forays, the bell is being kept under
lock and key at the Phi Delt
house.
On a huge tyebfoot float, the
bell was driven about the football
field between halves Saturday aft
ernoon. Mcnday morning its lusty
tones rang out as it was trans
ported across the campus to the
victory rally. The bell weighs 80
pounds, and it is decorated with
green ducks on a yellow back
ground.
] Report Prevalent
Chancellor Kerr
Asked to Resign
Willard Marks, Vice-President of
State Board, Said to Have
Made Demand
Reports were prevalent in Fort
, land during the past weekend that
Willard L. Marks, vice-president
of the board of higher education,
in conferring with Chancellor Kerr,
suggested that the chancellor re
sign in order to ease the difficult
situation facing higher education
in the state. Neither would con
firm the statement.
The board is still without a new
member to replace Roscoe C. Nel
son, Portland attorney, v/ho re
signed from the presidency of the
group last week. Governor Meier
is reported to be delaying the ap
pointment of a new member be
cause he is experiencing difficulty
in finding a person of the right
caliber willing to wade into the
troubled waters of higher educa
tion.
The crisis in higher education
precipitated by demands of Wayne
L. Morse of the University law
school that Kerr resign remained
in the status quo during the week
end.
Board members, the chancellor,
and persons interested in the edu
cational problem gathered at va
rious impromptu conferences after
the Oregon-Oregon State football
game Saturday, but results of
these sessions were not announced
to the press.
Predictions are made that the
special legislative session to con
vene next week will consider radi
cal proposals unless the education
board begins clearing away the
numerous problems facing it.

University Band Gives
Perfect Performance
In playing for two rallies, a
football game, and an Armistice
day parade, the University band
performed perfectly, according to
John Steha, director.
Owing to their strenuous pro
gram, all the band members,
whether they lived in Portland or
not, were required to stay at the
Danmoore hotel over the Friday
night preceding the Oregon State
football game. "Their meals were
served at the Portland hotel.
Sartorial Splendor to Make
Webfoots Socially Correct
i
]
By PAULA REVERE
Noted Gridiron Costume Designer
Superstitions or no superstitions,
Oregon’s championship headed
football team will trot out on the
green turf of the L. A. Memorial
coliseum next Saturday afternoon
clad in brand new uniforms—uni
forms that will not in the least
resemble the drab, conventional
garb worn by previous Webfoot
elevens.
The new equipment will consist
of pants and jerseys of the latest
style. The jerseys will be of light
weight wool, Kelly green in color,
and with lemon-yellow arm bands.
They will have numerals on the
front as well as on the back. The
pants are to be made of satin—
old gold satin to boot—and will
have green elastic webbing up the
back of each leg. There was some
talk of having the helmets painted
gold, too, but these rumors have
not been confirmed.
How did this change come
about? Well, bright and early
(maybe not so bright, but early
just the same) yesterday morning,
a group of the more prominent
football stars, headed by the "dark
and handsome” Anselmo Leonardo
Y Ferente del Pozzo (Bud, to you,
you mug) and the equally hand- j
some Mike Mikulak, paid a visit 1
to Hugh Rosson, who usually has (
a strangle hold on the purse- j
strings of the A. S. U. O., and i
explained to him that the boys i
needed some new clothes to help ]
them dazzle the mighty Trojans
of Southern California. Rosson, i
after some thought—no doubt :
| about the huge crowd that will
[ see the Webfoot-Trojan struggle
! and the subsequent influx of ■
wealth resulting therefrom—de
cided that the Ducks deserved only
the best, and the result is the uni
form described above.
(Editor’s note: The football
squad, upon learning of Rosson’s
\ decision to equip them in style,
unanimously voted to stop calling ,
i him by the nickname of “Pinch
penny,” and to substitute the
j cognomen of “Uncle Bim” in
I stead.)
The superstition angle of the
| deal was introduced by a pessi
mistic youth who claimed that to
; change uniforms in mid-season
was suicidal, and thajt the team
will be sure to lose if they wear
new suits. Think of that!
Stern Webfoot Competition Last Saturday
These four first-string Oregon State backfield men caused prenty of trouble for Prink Callison’s Ducks at Portland Saturday,
although the undefeated Oregon eleven beat the Beavers, 13 to 3. Pierre Bowman, right halfback (upper left), did some wonderful
blocking and was a stalwart on defense. Norman Franklin, right half (upper right), made several sparkling runs during the game
and punted and passed in spectacular manner. Hal Pangle, quarterback (lower left), called signals in faultless style. Hal Joslin,
fullback (lower right), performed well offensively and defensively. This quartet and a squad of other Orangemen will display their
football talent in New York Saturday against ths strong Fordham Rams.

f
Entertainers for
Community Work
Sought in Appeal
Dr. Parsons Asks for Volunteers
To Take Part In Programs;
Plans Take Shape
A call for volunteers who can
sing, play any musical instrument,
act, or entertain in any other way
was issued yesterday by Dr. P. A.
Parsons, who is now organizing a
program of community service for
more than 100 community clubs
of Lane, Linn, Benton, Marion,
Polk, and Douglas counties.
Already Mr. Parsons has ob
tained the cooperation of John L.
Casteel, head of the speech depart
ment. who has organized four
teams of five men each; the school
of music which is offering vocal
and instrumental talent; the dra
matics department; the physical
education department; the West
minster club and other organiza
tions. Dr. Parsons feels, however,
that there are many students not
affiliated with any of these groups
who would like to gain the valu
able experience assisting in this
work will give.
Dr. Parsons’ office here will
serve as a clearing and booking
bureau for the talent. Entire pro
grams for many club gatherings
will be organized here, while tal
ent to supplement that on hand at
the club will also be provided.
Men from the speech division have
already arranged to take charge
of several meetings and conduct
open forums, demonstrate proper
procedure for parliamentary meet
ings, demonstrate debates and
public speaking. Many of these
programs will be supplemented
with music and drama from other
University divisions.
The community club program of
Oregon, which has been developed
by Dr. Parsons and his staff, has
attracted the attention of national
community work leaders, and this
phase of the work is regarded as
one of the most important.
Anyone interested may call Dr.
Parsons at his office in Friendly
hall.
Book on Oregon
Issued 50 Years
Ago in Germany
New Library Purchase Is Printed
In Teutonic Language;
One of Series
"Oregon" is the title of a book
recently purchased by the library
for the Oregon collection. The
book is in German and was pub
lished in Leipzig in 1883.
Originally the purchase price
vas only one mark, but many times
that sum was paid by the library.
Heinrich Semler is the author and
the book was written in San Fran
cisco. It is the ninth volume of a
series of travel books in German.
Oregon appears to be the second
state considered in the series, a
book on Wisconsin, volume three,
being the only one on the United
States thnt precedes the one on
Oregon.
Contents of the book cover ev
ery point of general information
about the state.
Chapter headings include the
German equivalents of the follow
ing topics: history, geography, pol
tics, population and cities, climate,
natural resources, products, indus
tries and manufacturing, and
farming.
A map of the United States is to
be found in the back of the book,
which otherwise is without illus
tration.
Webfoot Team
Assured of Tie
For Coast Title
Oregon Leading Squad
Of Country
WINS NUMBER EIGHT
Stanford and Southern California
Need Two Conference Wins
To Remain in Race
Oregon’s football team is as
sured of at least a tie for the
championship of the Pacific coast,
conference and can capture the ti
tle outright by beating Southern
California next Saturday at Los
Angeles. A tie game would also
assure the Oregonians of the top
place.
After the Webfoots defeated the
Beavers at Portland Saturday and
Stanford upset the Trojans on the
same afternoon, Prink Callison's
squad can do not worse than tie
for the coast title.
The Oregon aggregation at pres
ent has four conference wins and
a record unmarred by loss or tie.
The Indians of Stanford have won
two and lost one, while the Troy
men have captured two tilts, lost
one, and tied one. Both these Cal
ifornia teams have two coast
games to play.
Important Tilts Left
Should Southern California and
Stanford each win their two re
maining conference contests, their
records would stand at four vie
I tories and one loss, with the Los
Angeles squad’s record also con
taining a tie. If the Troymen lick
Oregon, that defeat would give
the Ducks a record of four con
quests and one setback. At the
end of the season, the percentages
of the three teams would be .800.
The coast conference does hot
officially recognize a football
champion, reports H. C. Howe,
University faculty representative
on the group. The top-ranking
team is recognized as titlist by
newspaper and public opinion.
Wins Needed
Stanford's two remaining games
are with Montana next Saturday
and with California November 25.
The Southern Californians will tan
gle with Oregon next Saturday
and with Jimmy Phelan’s Huskies
December 9. The Cardinals and
Trojans will have to win these
tests to clinch a tie for first place
in the conference standings.
The Ducks are now the leading
team in the country with a record
of eight straight victories against
no losses or ties. The Oregon
team is also the only undefeated
club on the coast.
The Webfoots have scored 152
points in their contests and have
given up only 17 points, not one
of which has been scored through
the powerful, fast-charging Duck
line.
Army Behind Oregon
Duquesne, which topped the na
tional field the previous week with
eight wins, was jolted from its
lofty position Saturday by the
mighty Panthers of Pittsburgh. In
second place among the major un
beaten and untied teams is the
Army, which trounced Harvard’s
Crimson severely Saturday for
'Jhe seventh straight triumph of
the season.
Five other teams are in the race
for the mythical national cham
pionship — Michigan, Nebra ska,
Georgia, Duke, and Princeton.
Variation in Types of Music
Featured at Student Recital
Variations in type ot music
played and in type of instrument
was noticed in last night’s stu
dent recital. Charlotte Cherry,
cellist, Madelle Beidler, pianist,
Arlene Soasey, soprano, Catherine
Mishler, pianist, and Roberta Spi
cer Moffit were soloists on the
program given in the school of
music auditorium.
Simple melody beautified by the
mellow tones of the cello charac
terized Sammartini’s “Old Italian
Love Song," Miss Cherry’s first
number. Contrasting to this was
Gabriel-Marie’s blythe “La Cin
quantaine” in allegro time.
In Field’s “Rondo” played by
Miss Beidler, each hand carried a
distinct melody, while the two mel
odies blended harmoniously.
“Nachtstucke” by Schumann, was
typical of the composer’s work,
having smooth, flowing rhythm.
Opportunity for bringing out the
best qualities of her high clear
voice was given by Miss Soasey in
‘'Beloved It Is Morn” by Aylward.
Here the tempo was andante, and
the range wide, varying from the
lowest to the highest pitch of a
soprano voice.
In contrast to the slow, yet love
ly "Fantasia in D-minor” by Mo
zart, Yon's “Nena,” a Spanish fan
tasy seemed even more brilliant.
Including many trills, chords, ar
peggios and long runs this number
is outstanding on any program.
Concluding the program Roberta
Spicer Moffit played Gabriel-Ma
rie's "Lamento,” and Sqtiire's
“Bouree” and "Tarantelle.” In the
first number the low tones of cello
increased aff.ct of lament. The
latter numbers both had interest
ing tempos and definite swinging
rythym.
