Wayne L. Morse Brands
Withdrawal Reports for
Candidacy as Being False
Findings on Presidential Selection to
Be Reported by Faculty Council
Within Next Ten Days
Campus interest in the long-extended “pick a president" discussion
flared a bit yesterday when Wayne L. Morse, dean of the school of
law, issued a statement branding reports he had withdrawn his name
from consideration as false because he had never announced himself
as a candidate.
Meanwhile, usually reliable sources indicated the faculty advisory
council, acting in an advisory capacity to the chancellor and the state
Doara, wnmci complete us report
and send its finding to the board
within the next ten days.
Dean Morse’s statement follows:
His complete statement follows:
“Because of the proprieties as
well as the delicacies involved in
the U. of O. presidential situation,
r do not wish to make any ex
tended comment covering- the re
port that I have withdrawn my
name from consideration in con
nection for the presidency.
“In fairness to my many friends
who have spoken and written to
me about the matter, I am pleased
to repeat, that I have never been a
candidate for the position. The
fact that many of my colleagues
on the faculty and a very large
number of friends of the Univer
sity in Eugene and throughout the
state, as well as in other parts of
;he country have urged considera
;ion of my name, has been a source
>f personal gratification. However,
ny record with regard to the mat
:er has been perfectly clear and
:onsistent ever since the vacancy
occurred.
“In each instance, when some
riendly booster has discussed the
matter with me, I have endeavored
to make clear that my partisan
idvocacy of the University’s cause
luring recent years, of which I
am justly proud, would in the opin
ion of some—whose views are en
titled to consideration—render my
name unacceptable for the posi
tion.
“Further, I have never failed to

Frnsh Men Get
Top, Bottom
Psych Rating
Here's one for the records.
For this year the male element
in the freshman class took the
honors—both top and bottom—
in the mental aptitude tests giv
en newcomers last week. These,
and other results of the exams
were announced Friday by Dr.
Howard R. Taylor, head of the
psychology department.
In the last two years, a wo
man has in each case scored the
highest number of points in these
psychology exams. But now, a
man holds the peak position, and
of the 11 outstanding scorers,
six were made by men, five by
women.
The four lowest scores, how
ever, were made by members of
the male sex.
Quite a difference exists be
tween the highest and lowest
scores. Three hundred sixty and
35 points represent the two ex
tremes.
The 1936 freshman class was
well represented last year when
one member, a woman this time,
made the highest score reported
from 65,000 college students who
took the same exam.

ASUO PICTURES NOT NEEDED
ASUO members will not be re
quired to have their pictures on
cards for the Stanford-Oregon
game this afternoon.
Libiary Cards
Issued Students
New Stamping M a eh i lies
On Trial May Heroine
Permanent Fixtures
Library cards are now being is
sued in conjunction with a new
system of charging books borrow
ed from the University library.
This new method is an experi
ment to quicken the rate of speed
by which books may be checked,
to identify the student and to avoid
some of the difficulties which
arose occasionally under the old
system.
According to the new method,
each student is given a card on
which is his name and a metal
plate with a number on it. When
the student wishes to take a book
home he fills out a card. A library
attendant secures the book. The
librarian places the library card
in a charger machine and the stu
dent's number is impressed on the
card which is kept in the library
for record.
At the same time the date when
the volume must be returned is
stamped on both the card the li- <
brary keeps and on another card
which goes in the book the stu
dent takes.
The charger machines, which are :
being used in the reserve and cir- ]
culation departments were install
ed this week by M. M. Bull of 1
Stockton, California. i
If after a fair trial the system 1
is satisfactory it will be perma- i
nently adopted.

Grads Must Register
Before Saturday Noon
While freshmen and regular stu
ients on the campus begin to
areathe deeply once more after
•ompleting registration for another
:erm, graduate students are only
reginning the arduous task. The
aistomary term-trek of grads
lashing blue registration cards is

All graduate registrations must

he one dollar late-registration fee,
iccording to Secretary Clara L.
fitch of the graduate division.
Oregon’s Mr. Yerby Meets Stanford’s Mr. Coffis on Hayward Field at 2 p. m. Today
One of Prink Callison’s veterans, John Yerby, at end, fits into the flashy Duck offense. Yerby
is a junior, ;
uuti c-oms, slippery Indian safety man, is one of xiuy Thornhill's most feared. Cotfis plays at the
left half post.
Indians hnve Kill rutiimun, one or
the best punters on the coast, in
addition to Jimmy Coffls, wlll-of
the-vvisp safety mnn, whose spe
cialty of returning punts will prob
ably put a few more gray hairs on
Coach Prink Callison’s head. At
fullback is the driving Jim Groves,
recently transferred from San Ma
teo Junior college, the Stanford
football farm. The blocking back
position is a question mark. Ed
Gamier was slated to handle the
assignment, but last week’s injury
puts Bill Kirseh in the limelight.
Two Reserve Threats
In reserve Coach Tiny Thornhill
has two big threats in Glenn Ham
ilton, who threw the touchdown
pas3 last week to Grant Stone, and
Jake Brigham, another boy who is
an exceptionally accurate passer.
To offset this brilliant array of
backs, Coach Callison has four
sophomores, four vets from last
year’s squad, and a transfer, any
i one of whom may and probably
will see action.
Of the three, Bob Smith, Med
ford’s main contribution to this
year's Oregon varsity, and Pile
driving Paul Rowe, British Colum
bia’s rugby artist, are almost sure
bets to start tomorrow. The other
two, Steve Anderson, bullet passer
from Raymond, Washington, and
Jay Graybeal, Pendleton’s practice
flop-but-game-star, are figured to
see early action.
Gchhurdt to Start
Ted Gebhardt, junior college
transfer and one of Oregon’s best
punters, is slated to start at one
of the halfback posts it was an
nounced by Coach Callison late
yesterday. Hack Nilsen, letter
man end who is probably the man
most sure of his starting job, will
carry the blocking and all-import
ant defensive fullback assignments
into the game.
aiamora s line is also composea
of an imposing- collection of stars,
near-stars, and potential stars. At
left end they have Irv Cummings,
playing his first season but already
rated a good pass catcher.
At left tackle is Pete Zagar, a
boy who needs no introduction.
Last season, his sophomore year in
college, he would have set the coast
on fire had not the public already
had its eyes on such stellar senior
stars as Wiatrack of Washington
and Oregon’s Del Bjork.
Guards Fight for Place
Lou Ferko at left guard, is not
so sure of his position, although
he played almost a full season last
year at that spot. McMillan is
given a good chance to start, al
though Ferko has the edge.
When Thornhill thinks of his
center situation, he takes a deep
breath, leans back and relaxes—
for the moment anyway. His first
string man is Tony “Banana-Fin
gers” Calvelli. Tony last year
played most of the season at full
back after coming to “the farm"
as a center. In addition to Tony,
Coach Thornhill also has Lou
Tsoutsoutvas, who held down the
regular pivot position last season.
Tackle Prospects Good
Jack Walton is at present the
big gun at right guard, while Stan
Anderson, co-captain of last sea
son's edition of the Stanford frosh,
is counted on to become one of the
best Stanford tackles in years.
Grant Stone at right end completes
the line. Stone is the fastest man
on the Stanford squad and a good
pass catcher.
The Oregon line is the same that
