The Passing Sho* London Climax No News in Lon Britain Firm Crash Anniversary By DARREL ELLIS His Last Word “No one can be sure,” the oft reepated key-note phrase of Gov. Alf M. Landon and his answer to questions raised regarding future policies of the present administra tion in his speech in New York last night evoked a roaring chorus of assent from his, audience. The governor, in his final ap pearance of eastern campaign, challenged the president to indi cate his stand in regard to the constitution “he swore to uphold.” Conspicuously Missing American newspapers of October 16, 17, 18, the dates immediately following the divorce of Mrs. Wal lis Simpson, were not for sale at any of the largest international newspaper stands in London last night. Time magazine, which appears on London stands Tuesday, will have four pages ripped out before it goes on sale, news sources re ported. No explanation of the dearth of American newspapers was proffered by news stand pro prietors. Stand Stands Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin of Great Britain last Thursday re affirmed England’s defense of the international “Hands - off Spain” agreement despite the fact the government felt breaches of the agreement had occurred. The stand, stated Foreign Secre tary Eden was taken to "prevent the civil war from passing the boundaries of Spain and involving the rest of Europe.” Hell on Forth ' Water in the church organ, steel shavings in his gasoline tank, spikes driven in his tires and fin ally a half stick of dynamite found in the pastorate basement have convinced Rev. A. L. Van Auken, minister of the Church of Christ at Washougal, Washington, that maybe “the cup doesn’t runneth over.” The minister told the Sheriff he had been made the butt of several petty annoyances recently. Sloiv—But Sure The New York Stock Exchange yesterday saw the seventh anni versary of the nation’s historic market crash pass with only a bare ten percent of the stock and bond transactions that were made on that last hectic day in 1929. On October 30, seven years ago, 16,410.000 shares traded hands. Yesterday’s turnover, a subdued day in comparison, was 1,700,000 shares. Stanford Pleads For Mud Battles The Mud Fight, “Stanford's trib ute to a glamorous, if silly, past,” is again the subject of a bitter dis cussion on the Stanford campus. The fight was recently abolished by a ruling of the executive com mittee. A student body vote was taken to see if the tradition should con tinue as in the past or be re placed. One ballot proposed sub stituting a Maypole, with the sophomores and freshmen holding every other ribbon; when the mu sic stopped the class holding the most pink ribbons would win. Fox Star UCLA Mascot Jane Withers, ten - year - old Twentieth Century-Fox star, will ride tonight as the official mascot of the varsity football team in the UCLA annual homecoming parade. Miss Withers will sing “Fighting Bruin Bear” and “Strike Up the Band for UCLA.” She will be dressed in blue and gold and will wear a Bruin freshman dink. Chimes Ringer Blind George Bailey, blind University of Washington musician, has been ringing the chimes precisely at noon for the last 20 years. Mr. Bailey does not have an alarm clock nor a special watch. He tells the time by taking the crystal off his watch and feeling of the hands. Be Tactful, Says Prof A Michigan State" professor, ap parently reaching the end of his endurance, exploded: "I don’t mind if you look at your watch during class; just don't put it to your ear to find out if it’s still going.” Oregon Rallies for Big Game Pigskin Battle Lures Rooters To Rose City Seating Space Opened To General Public at 1:30; Serpentine Will Begin at Depot By STANLEY HOBSON Goin’ to town in a big way! The town is Portland, the rea son is the Washington-Oregon game, and the result promises to be one' of the biggest and noisiest celebrations that the City of Roses has seen for many a moon. Thousands of Oregon and Wash ington rooters will pack Multno mah stadium with what is expect ed to be the largest crowd to at tend a game in Portland since 1930. Students are again warned to be in their seats at the game by 1:30 as all vacant seating space will be thrown open to people entering on general admission tickets after that time. Only 3,000 reserved seats were left yesterday and that number has been greatly dimin ished. Special trains from eastern Oregon and other points are bring ing hundreds of football fans and “standing room only” signs will soon be Blaster on the stadium walls. Lids, White Shirts Worn Don Thomas, rally committee head, again emphasized that root ers’ lids and white shirts must be worn by all Oregon students in order to gain admission to the rooting section. Forming at the Union depot to night at 8:30, the mammoth ser pentine parade will wind through the streets with a special escort of city and county police, as pre-game activities officially begin. Order of the O and rally committee men will escort the traditional victory bell. After a street demonstration in front of the Broadway theater at approximately 9:15, students will enter the theater as the final event of the evening begins—the big at traction. Theater Features Listed A multitude of features will be presented from the stage, includ ing vaudeville, stage show, yell stunts—led by Oregon’s Don Chap man—speakers, entertainers, sing ers, and the bands of both Oregon and Washington. This will be fol lowed by a preview of a world pre miere picture, “Les Desperados.” Dancing on the mezzanine floor of the theater will begin at 10 o'clock. Lewis Heads Committee To Clean Senior Bench John Lewis, president of the Or der of the O, has been appointed chairman of a committee to clean up the senior bench, which was decorated with green paint by the class of 1940. Lewis has not announced who will do the actual work. Ready for Crunching Thrusts at the Husky Line (Courtesy the Register-Guard) Flanked on both sides by the halfbacks who will carry the brunt of Coach Prince C. Callison’s crunching’ attack upon the University of Washington line Saturday is Fullback Tom Blackman, returning to ser vice after a long period on the sidelines because of injuries. On the left is fleet Jimmy Nicholson, small but elusive. Between Nicholson and Blackmen, center, is Bob Braddock, upon whose line plunging a large part cf Callison’s offensive is based, while pass-snatching Gammon and smiling Dale Lasselle are on the fullback's right. Freak Election Bets Fewer But Just as Funny • Peanuts Lose Places, Men Lose Spirit The men of Oregon are apparently going sissy. A diligent canvass, of men’s houses uncovered but a handful of “freak” election bets. There was a day when stalwart Oregon students would have gladly agreed to push a peanut with their nose all around the campus if their favor ite lost. Apparently, the only ones willing to do a bit of fancy peanut pushing are Andy Newhouse and Paul Cushing, both of Theta Chi. Newhouse has agreed that if Mr. Roosevelt loses he will get down on ms nanas ana Knees ana pusn a peanut with his nose from the College Side to the law school be tween 3 and 4 o’clock classes on the day following elections. “Pajama” Call Two Pi Kap pledges have a very “informal” agreement regard i n g elections. The loser will don his very nicest and very cleanest pa jamas, march down the street to some fortunate ( ?) sorority, ring the doorbell, and in the smooth manner of an accomplished pigger ask, “Is Miss - in? I’d like to see her, please.” As strictly formal as the Pi Kaps are, delightfully informal is the little bet between Theta Chis Donald Seaman alid Robert Wag ner. Should Mr. Roosevelt win, Seaman will appear at all his class es for the following week decked out in his tuxedo—what price pol itics ? Long-Distance Wager A senior at the Delta Upsilon house has bet a former Oregon coed now living in Los Angeles, that if Mr. Roosevelt loses he will hop a train for Los Angeles, wine and dine her royally at some night (Please turn to page two) Oregon Hawaiians Form Organization Hwaiian students here on the campus Wednesday night formed an,organization to be known as “Hui O Kamaaina,” meaning in the native tongue, “a group of old tim ers from Hawaii.” The main objective of the club is the promotion of a larger en rollment of students from Hawaii at the University of Oregon, and also to create greater inter est in Hawaii among Oregonians.

Ducks Enter Saturday’s Contest oil Short End Of Odds; Hold Edge In Past 8 Years Northerners Tops Rivalry Between Schools Is Strongest in Northwest As Game Nears The hottest Husky grid team since 1925, with one eye on New Year’s day and the Pasadena Rose Bowl, will sweep on to Multnomah field Saturday, intent on trouncing a stubborn Oregon eleven and lay ing for all time the famous Oregon jinx. Pitted against the eight-year spell which has become a part of the traditional background whictf surrounds the northwest’s big game, Coach Jimmy Phelan has this year assembled the greatest team to wear the purple and gold under his tutelage. Oregon Under Dogs Against Phelan's flashing backs, Coach Callison will pin his hopes for one more upset victory on one of the toughest defenses in the new round-robin coast setup. The Oregon eleven will enter the stad ium as decided underdogs—the role which they have held during the majority of the past eight years which have seen but one Husky victory. Coast experts have marked Washington as the team to beat this year, because of the ball-toting ability of By Haines and Jimmy Caine, the fine kicking of Elmer Logg, and the stellar blocking which has cut swathes through op posing teams since the Huskies took a lesson and a beating from Minnesota, 14 to 0, in their season opener. Games Always Fiery Into the fire which has forged the tradition surrouriding the an nual meeting of the two major northern university teams has years of torrid competition and sparkling play. Washington, marching toward the coast title undefeated in 1925, was favored to swamp a mediocre Webfoot team which rose to the heights, only to face defeat as Harry Shidler’s last minute place kick teetered hysterically on the cross bar to give the northern ag gregation victory, 15 to 14.
