\7'.V! + Duck Gridders Seek Revenge FromTroymen Webfoot Squad on Way To California LINE CHANGES MADE Coast Conference Championship At Stake in Tilt Saturday At Los Angeles ABOARD OREGON SPECIAL BOUND FOR LOS ANGELES, Nov. 16.— (Special)—Mindful of last year’s 33-to-0 setback at the hands of El Trojan, 30 University of Oregon football players are bound for Los Angeles where they will meet the men of Troy in the coliseum Saturday. The conference - leading colle gians from Eugene arrived in Gerber, Cal., at noon and held a light half-hour workout. The short practice session consisted of dum my scrimmage and wind sprints. Clark at Center Howard “Dutch" Clark, 195 pound veteran guard, has been working out at the center position in the place of Co-captain Bernie Hughes, whose shoulder was in jured in the Oregon State game last Saturday at Portland. It is expected that Oregon’s all-coast pivot man will start, but it is doubtful if he can last the full 60 minutes. Wit;h Clark at center, Biff Nils son, who has just recovered from a knee injury, has returned to his old position at tackle, and Gard ner Frye, made-over guard, who took the injured Nilsson’s place, is taking Clark’s position. If Hughes is taken out of the conflict, the Duck forward wall will line up with the men in these positions. Chuck Swanson, vet eran sub center, who is light but scrappy, can also be relied on at the centering post. Coach Prince Callison spent two hours this morning conducting a “skull practice.” The Duck men tor also talked with Co-captains Hughes and Temple and Leighton Gee, versatile halfback who calls the plays in the huddle. Shields Confident “I believe if Oregon plays the type of ball it is capable of play ing, that we can beat the Tro jans," stated Gene Shields, Duck (Continued on Page Four) WAA Health Posters Must Be in by Monday Noon; Prize Offered Have you started your poster advertising W.

Varying his selections from heavy classics to lighter modern numbers, Hopkins also includes tone poems and novelties. Preced ing each number he will give a brief explanation of its type or the motive of the composer in writing the selection. Last year he gave a recital, re peated in Portland, which con sisted entirely of dance music ranging from the time of Mozart and Bach to the present. This program was received enthusiasti cally by the large audience filling the music auditorium. Beginning the program with one of the heavier classics, he plays Bach-Tausig's “Toccata and Fugue in D-minor." The second group consists of 13 moods of the ro mantic school. The composer is Schumann, while the title Ts “Scenes from Childhood.” As the third group, he offers four tone pictures: Moszkowski . Juggleress Rachmaninoff . Polichinelle Brahms-Grainger .

New Recruits of Drama Take Part In Coming Show “Giuld Hall Gaieties” Will Bring Skits Presented by Novice and Skilled Students cf Acting The majority cf those taking part in the Guild hall Gaieties, which are slated for Friday and Saturday, November 24 and 25, at 7:30, are new recruits to the drama department. The Guild Hall Players, a group consisting of students who have participated in drama work for some time, number only four in this entertainment. These will be represented by Gertrude Winslow, Kay Briggs, Ethan Newman, and Charleen Purcell in a skit named “Flittermouse.” Miss Winslow and Miss Briggs will be assisted by Roy Craft, an Oregon alumnus, in another skit entitled “Hew Per fectly Absurd.” In a takeoff on the average American audience, which is called “Give the Audience a Chance,” the cast is made up almost en tirely of new drama students. The following make up the "audience” in thi3 farce: Pauline Conradt, Helen Harriman, Willarti Marsh, Rex Faust, Betty *Dillow, Bill Ireland, Cynthia Liljeqvist, Neville Biden, Virginia Wappen stein, Ed Pinney, Ellen Galey, and Gwynn Caverhill. Barron Featured In Music Recital Ranging from the classics of Mozart and Schubert to the lovely old English air “Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes,” the program of George Barron, basso, held the interest of his audience last night in a recital given at the school of music auditorium as partial ful fillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Fine Arts. In his second group Barron in cluded one of the most beautiful and beloved of Wagner’s works, "Traume." First intended to be a part of the opera “Tristan and Isolde.” Explanations made by the singer immediately before each number, making them more meaningful to the listener, increased the enjoy ment of the program. A quiet, reserved, yet pleasant personality adds to Barron’s stage presence. As a final encore in response to enthusiastic applause, George Barron sang “Deep River,” well known negro spiritual. His deep mellow voice is well suited to this song, lending itself to the mystery and superstitious nature of the se lection. Portland Meet Of State Board Due Next Week Education Controversy To Be Aired MEIER STILL SILENT Marks Says Session Is Probable; Problem of New Appointee To Be Discussed The Oregon state board of higher education will probably meet in Portland early next week, according to reports received here yesterday. Willard L. Marks of Albany, new chairman of the group, told the Portland press of the prospective session. Marks has assumed the position vacated by Roscoe C. Nelson, Portland attorney, who resigned as head of the board more than a week ago. Indications are that the meeting in the northern city would bring action with regard to the appoint ment of Nelson’s successor. Gov ernor Julius L. Meier has yet to select another member of the board but has not discussed the matter. The chief executive is si lent about the person whom he may select and about the time when the appointment will be made. Marks said that a “general dis cussion of the rdcent controversy will probably be held at the com ing meeting of the board.” He added, "As far as I know, there are no communications on the sit uation, from Eugene or elsewhere, to come before the board. At least I have seen none, although some may have been addressed to the secretary of the board.” Nelson gave up his place on the board when the University faculty passed a resolution demanding that he resign. This action sup plemented the request made first by Dean Wayne L. Morse of the law school for Nelson’s resigna tion. Morse has also declared that Chancellor W. J. Kerr, who is now out of the state, should give up his position as head of the higher educational system in Oregon. Curator to Talk At Open Meeting An open meeting of townspeople and students Tuesday evening, No vember 21, at 7:30 in Alumni hall will be addressed by Louis F. Hen derson, University of Oregon cura tor of herbarium. Prof. Hender son has chosen as his subject “Re construction Days in New Orleans After the Civil War.” The address includes the latter part of a paper prepared by Prof. Henderson on his reminiscences of the war between the two factions. The first part of the paper was read a month ago at a meeting of the Round Table, the group which is sponsoring the meeting Tuesday evening. Prof. Henderson’s topic has aroused no little interest because he lived in the southern states during the war and his remarks arise out of the childhood impres sions he has retained through the years. Filipino Siamese Twins Have Same Likes, Dislikes L>y v muxn a a avxu “What God hath joined together let no man put asunder,” is the sincere expression of Jucio and Simplicio Godino, Filipino Siamese twins who appeared at the McDon ald theater Wednesday night. The twins were accompanied by their wives, sisters, whom they met while attending grade school in the Philippines. Five thousand persons attended the double ring ceremony four years ago although invitations were sent to only 500. “Yes, we get along fairly well,” was the answer to how they man age their likes and dislikes. “We enjoy the same sports and hobbies, mainly golf, with a score of 36 on a nine-hole course.” Photography is also one of their chief pastimes. With a motion picture camera and four other types of kodaks they have made a large collection of pictures during their travels. The twins attended St. Johns college in Washington, D. C., for two years, where they majored in clliU SLiigU piUUUCLlUIl. “We are on the stage purely from a business viewpoint,” they said. Twenty-five years is a long time to be in constant company with a brother, but such is the life ol these men. They have had the same diseases, but not at the same times. "We haven't been ill often, and it doesn’t bother us,” was their comment. Although this is their 21st trip to America it is the first time their wives have been here. “We have noticed quite an increase in thea ter attendance the past few months, and, by the way, are wear ing the N.R.A. pins.” "No, we haven’t any children and don't want any, at least until we retire.” They drive a Buick sedan and lead very happy lives. Thanksgiv I ing isn’t being forgotten either, for j ten cents a day from each member I of the troupe is filling an old to ; bacco can in preparation for a 1 good feed on the gala day. Mum Sale Directors The mum sale directorate this year consists of the four coeds pictured above.

Gilbert, Harri son Val Hoyt, and James R. Jew ell of the University were notified yesterday of a tentatively ar ranged meeting of five deans to morrow morning at 9:30 a. m. in Corvallis, where they will hear Sinclair Wilson, economist of the United States forest service, pre sent the problems created by the fire in Tillamook county last sum mer. Herman Kehrli, director of the University bureau of municipal re search and service, reports that Wilson has recently been investi gating the problems arising from the Tillamook disaster. Wilson finds that the entire business, gov ernmental, and cultural structure of the county is doomed to destruc tion unless some definite program of action is worked out. Wilson believes that the various schools of the higher educational system might be able to cooperate in a survey which would give Til lamook county the information and plan it needs. Wilson stated that the Tillamook fire created more destruction of nroperty than the San Francisco fire, the Galveston flood, or any other of a number of major catas trophes, and that 40 per cent of the assessed value of Tillamook county was destroyed.

Willard Marsh Places First in Jewett Contest Rav Clapp, Jay Wilson Win Other Prizes OPTIMISM IS SUBJECT Humor Keynote of After-Dinner Talks; Awards of $15, $10, And $5 Presented By CLIFFORD THOMAS With a speech ironically con demning the blind type of opti mism that “fogs sane judgment,” Willard Marsh, sophomore business administration major, won first place honors in the W. F. Jewett after-dinner speaking content held last night at bona fide dinner oc casion in the regents room of the John Straub memorial building. The contestants, judges, and and friends were guests of the residents of the men’s dormitory. Ray Clapp, senior in the school of journalism, and Jay Wilson, senior in economics, captured sec ond and third places, respectively. Optimism Decried Speaking on the topic, "Bigger and Better Booms,” relating to the general subject, “American Opti mism," Marsh cleverly and scorch ingly scored the “chamber of com merce type of American optimism” which blinds its disciples to facts of actual situations. The first place winner also subtly poked fun at various American communities whose blind local optimism has de veloped into a dangerous preju dice. Clapp spoke on “Keeping Up a Front” and declared that bluffing and keeping up a front are the dominating characteri sties of American optimism. Jay Wilson's humorous treat ment of his subject, “Go West, Young Man,” won him the third place award. Americans Recognizable Hale Thompson, one of the other contestants who gave the winners close competition, spoke on the subject, “You Can Tell an Ameri can.” According to Thompson, op timism is a trait that, above ail others, distinguishes Americans. In a clever analogy, Thompson said, “Americans are like ostriches which, when in trouble, stick their heads in the sand and keep their sunny sides up.” In the most serious of the eve ning’s speeches, John Casey ex pressed the opinion that Ameri cans, in their optimism, are pur posefully trying to blind them (Continucd on Paije Two) Tickets Now Available For St. Mhry’s Contest On Thanksgiving Day Tickets for the St. Mary’s football game in San Francisco on Thanksgiving day, Novem ber 23, are now available in the graduate manager’s office and by mail order for $1.65.

Neu berger, last year’s editor of the Emerald, the subjugation of the press and other medium of public opinion in Nazi Germany is de scribed vividly in the current issue of the New Republic. The title of the feature is “Ger many Under the Choke-Bit,” and is the third Neuberger has con tributed recently to the national magazines on Germany. A short time ago articles by him appeared in The Nation and Opinion. Neu berger, editor of the Daily Emerald last year, is the youngest contrib utor to The New Republic and The Nation and the first University of Oregon student ever to achieve the distinction of writing for their col l umns. In his New Republic article Neu berger contrasts the autocratic domination of the German press with the freedom advocated so earnestly by Thomas Jefferson and other American statesmen, and points out how Dr. Joseph Goeb bels, Hitler’s minister of propa ganda and enlightenment, also has I suppressed the radio and compelled the motion picture industry to conform to his bidding-. Neuberger and his uncle, Com mander J. F. Neuberger of the United States navy medical corps, were among the few foreigners last summer to see the famous Nazi propaganda film, "S. A. Mann Brand.” The picture is described in his article in detail. “Although well-acted, it would appeal in America to persons of about the ; same mental age as those stirred ! by ‘Tarzan of the Apes,’ ” Neu berger declares. The article shows how Hitler and ! his aides have used the press as a j weapon to incite public opinion against the Jews, liberals and oth I er dissenters and points out how | thoroughly and viciously editors | and their aides have been intimi dated. It also tell3 that even cer j tain American publications are I forbidden in Germany and says it J is worth a man’s life to possess a ■ copy of the Manchester Guardian. Even sports have not been free (Continued on Page Two)
