The Passing Show Eden Emits Minimum Wages Better Days Ahead Bears Rally By DARREL ELLIS Who's a Pirate? Declaring that British warships will fire on Spanish rebel gunboats as “pirates” if they interfere with English merchant vessels, Foreign Minister Anthony Eden last night delivered Britain's reply to Span ish insurgent threats to destroy Barcelona if arms shipments to the Madrid government continue. Eden’s position on the “pirate” stand was secure because England has recognized neither side in the Spanish conflict as a belligerent, and any molestation of her com merce must be regarded in that light, according to international law, informed sources said.

In spite of the pleas of the pro ducer that it was purely coinci j dence, His Majesty’s government insists the line was included delib erately, and has banned the film in totality, not even allowing a substitute line to be “dubbed in” in place of it.

New Libe Opening Delayed Till Spring Term; Contract, Labor Snags Hold Up Work Dogged by delay, the new library will probably not be open until spring term, it was learned Friday from M. H. Douglass, librarian. Contract difficulties, lack of materials, labor shortage, and strike conditions have all contributed to put the opening of the $365,000 struc ture already nearly four months behind schedule. Further delays, Douglass fears, will make it unfeasible to occupy the biulding until spring term. I,-•, At the present time, lighting fixtures, some plumbing, and much of the finishing work remains un done. It is considered advisable, Douglass said, to allow plenty of time for completion rather than to rush work and hava it poorly done. Contract Conflict Removal of part of the present metal stacks to the new building is stipulated in the contract, which cannot be accepted until this change has been made. The con flict and resulting delay comes, however, in the lack of a place to store the books now in these stacks while the transfer is being made, Douglass explained. Progress is being made in the placing of art works. A wood carv ing nearly six feet in length is in place in the graduate reading room. Decorated, wrought - iron gates, complimenting the Italian black and white effect of the mar ble walls, guard the inner gate ways of the main entrance. Stairs and hand rails are also of marble. Stacks May Expand Roominess in the stacks leaves plenty of space for future expan sion. According to W. C. Warren, reserve librarian, the building will not be stocked to capacity for ten years.

Duck Mentor PRINK CALLISON Oregon OSG, Duck Teams Keyed to Fighting Pitch for Big Game Captain Del Bjork, Playing Last Game, Leads Linemen in Attempt to Stop Thrusts of State's Joe Gray By PAT FRIZZZELL Emerald Sports Editor It’s the 40th Big Game. No conference championship will be at stake, no Rose Bowl glory will be the reward, but when football teams of Oregon and Oregon State tear into each other on Corvallis’ Bell field this afternoon all the fire and bitterness of a battle for the title of a dozen leagues will be unleashed. It starts at 2 o’clock and by that time Bell field will be run ning over with humanity. The Webfoots and Beavers are at the bottom of the coast conference, but a capacity throng is assured for what to the state of Oregon is THE game. On paper, Oregon is an underdog today. But when these rivals of almost half a century fling grid iron forces into traditional war fare, there isn’t any dope or any form. They're bettin on Oregon State in the wise circles, but in wiser company the wags are keep ing sheckels safe in their pock ets. Bine Is Best Today’s game will find an Ore gon line comparable with the best on the coast meeting an Oregon State offense which crushed Wash ington State and outplayed Stan ford. Captain Del Bjork of the Webfoots and Jumping Joe Gray of the Beavers are the men to watch. Del Bjork will be playing for the last time in Oregon green, and this will be his final shot at all American recognition. Joe Gray is a junior, but his passing arm is on a par with the best. Stop the Ghost Oregon must stop Gray today, and Oregon State must breaek through or over the Webfoot line which Bjork leads. All week Prince Gary Callison, Oregon head coach, has primed his team on de fense against a Beaver passing at tack which doomed Washington State and gave Stanford the'fight of half a dozen seasons. The mir acle right arm of Gray heaves th< leather, and the glue-like fingers of Joe Wendlick, Don Coons, and Tommy Swanson nab it. That’s what the Beavers do if allowed half a chance. Oregon’s task is to bar them from that chance. The Ducks, not the desperate Ducks but the determined Ducks, will hurl the ball high, wide, and far also. A spectacular battle of overhead barrages is assured. (Please turn to pai/e four) TODAL’S LINEUPS Oregon Oregon State Yerby.LK. Coons Bjork (C) LT Miller Amato .LG. Ramsey Farrar.C. ...

Kolberg ‘Beat OSC Theme Of Bonfire Rally 800 Students Serpentine, Waleli Bonfire; Benson, Frosh, in Charge Culminating Oregon’s football rallies for 1930, last night’s bon fire rally, with its "Beat OSC’’ theme, was acclaimed by the rally committee as the most successful of the season. Alumni attending the rally complimented the com mittee and the freshman class on its success. The bonfire was placed in the hands of the class of ’40 by Don Thomas, rally chairman. Noel Benson was in charge of the ser pentine. Freshman co-chairmen of the bonfire. Phil Lowry and Bob Stretcher, and construction and materials chairmen, Stan Norris and Pete Mitchell, were praised by Thomas as having "done a good job.” Constructed mostly of excelsior and construction materials ob tained from the new libe, the bon fire was ignited by lighting ten gallons of gasoline poured over the base. The resulting near-ex plosion threw flames high into the air, thrilling the approximate eight hundred students attending the rally. A rally dance at Willamette park immediately after the bonfire drew a large number of students.
