I Overbade Pushes 1938 Oregana Sales Into Final Stages VOLUME XXXIX Plans Completed For Theater Rally Before Bear Game NUMBER 29 Cougars Canned bg Fighting Webfoots InThrillerSaturdag Oregon Upsets WSC Gridsters 10-6 in Hectic Battle at Multnomah Stadium; Fumbles Prove Costly for "Staters" Capitalizing on two quick thrusts into Cougar territory and playing a dogged defensive game the rest of the day, Oregon’s Ducks won their second conference game of the season, upset ting Babe Hollingbery’s Cougars, 10 to 6. With four minutes left in the second period Jay Graybeal skirted the Oregon right end for 16 yards and a touchdown. Joe Huston kept his perfect con version record intact, scoring the seventh point. YVSC Fumbles Costly Jay himself set up the scoring play with a 23-yard run from the 39-yard line. Carl Littlefield ini tiated the Webfoot drive, when he fumbled on the Oregon 48-yard line. Bud Robertson, Oregon's right end recovered said fumble, and the first Oregon drive was underway. It was checked momentarily on the Cougar 24, when the Ducks lost the ball on downs. Bayne was forced to punt a few minutes later, with the punt going out on the WSC 49. Graybeal, Ar leigh Bentley, and Bob Smith all helped pack the ball up to the 39, from where Jay took it over in two plays. Nicholson Field Goal Little, in an unusually generous mood during the afternoon, fumbl ed again, just after the start of the second half. Hank Nilsen re covered this bobble. Bob Smith and Arleigh Bentley moved the ball from the 50 up to the WSC 37. Jimmy Nicholson then tossed a lateral to Bentley who was brought down on the 13-yard line. Three plays got the ball nowhere, so Jimmy Nicholson stepped back to the 19-yard line and booted a perfect field goal. Paul “Scooter” Callow scored for the Cougars in the opening min utes of the fourth quarter. Gray beal's punt was blocked by Cougar End Hal Harrison, who also re covered the ball on Oregon’s 18 yard line. Callow went over from the 12-yard line.

Wisconsin Law Would Forbid Fin Planting' By ALYCE ROGERS Any University of Wisconsin coed who proudly displays a fra ternity pin is subject to imprison ment in the county jail for not more than 30 days or subject to a fine not exceeding $20, or both. At any rate, that is the essence of Wisconsin statute No. 343,251. The law prohibits the wearing of the insignia of any fraternal, social, or service organization by any one not a member of the group. But the coeds remain unworried, be cause no one ever bothers to en force the law. * * * Sweet Bye and Bye A self-expose by Aldous Huxley, ' English author: “I should be very unhappy if I had been educated in America.

When I was in school, I attended on the average of two lectures a week. * * * Student Scores Again Don't be too discouraged if your college editor thinks your article is too poor for publication or your professor is of the opinion that an essay of yours is deserving of an “F.” Just be assured that differ ent editors have different tastes and work to that goal for it seems that a senior student at Kentucky university wrote an article for the student paper. The editor wasn't interested. Neither was a column ist to whom the article was sub mitted. Dismayed but not undaunted, the student sent the article to Coronet. Two weeks later he received a check for $100. Smiths Lead Pigqers' Guide Name Feudin' "That thar feudin’ between the Browns, the Smiths, and the Jones is still a'flarin’. With the battle grounds set in the “Pigger’s Guide,” the Browns and the Jones are “biting the dust” fast with the popular mon icker of Smith coming to the front with “thar shoot’n irons” ready to defend their well-known signature. The Smiths led the repetition of names in the ’37-’38 edition of the “Guide” with that surname appearing 39 times in the “S” classification. Coming up from the rear ranks and making a very good showing in the gal axy of “whits” are the John stons with 20 registered to their credit. Fifteen Andersons are collect ed in the “social register.” Rapidly diminishing from the “who’s who where” rank is the old stand-bys of the Browns and the Jones. Only 12 Browns and but 10 Jones are left to carry on the battle for top honors in the list of common names.

The announcement was made yesterday after Harbert had conferred with Doug Milne, appointed by Senior Class Presi dent Charles Erwin, last Thursday to assist the editor in circulat ing a petition to find out if seniors wanted to be photographed !Just a Min ute, -Please!' Prof Vexed Aplenty W. A. Dahlberg, professor of speech, who spoke to students at the Westminster Sunday even ing discussion on the subject, "East of the Campus” was a bit chagrined when just prior to his speech the hymn, "In Christ There Is no East or West,” was sung. About to change the title of his speech to “North of the Cam pus,” Mr. Dahlberg discovered in the second verse, “In Christ There Is no North or South.” "From that point," said Mr. Dahlberg, “there was no place to go but down.” 'Gosh! That's Funny A-Well, Isn't It?' By PAT ERICKSON Did' you know that professors have a sense of humor? I was sur prised the other day when I found out, and a little shocked, too. I might have overlooked it entirely if I hadn’t gone down to the Faculty club. Some of my friends has told me about the Faculty club and I decided if I wanted to find out all about Professors I should go down 1 to the club and sort of observe them. "You just can’t go on being so naive,”1 told myself. I had only learned "naivp” that very day. Isn’t it pretty? Clubs in any form seem to fas cinate me. If you get what I mean, they intrigue me, lead me on. I wondered if it might not be a little difficulty to get in to this one with so many teachers, but I resolved to attempt it at any cost.

Harbert and Milne agreed that it would be impossible to change the pictures so late in the year, and decided to abandon the peti tion idea. “The seniors in all but six houses have had their pictures taken. I doubt if those who have already been photographed would like to go to the expense and trouble of sitting for re-takes,” Harbert said. "When I planned the dummy this summer I thought of asking President Erwin to call a class meeting to make the decision. Re membering that the attendance at class meetings is, without excep tion, very meager, I asked the opinions of what I considered a representative group regarding the change. The majority favored the policy I followed in making up my dummy. ■ Harbert Statement "If anyone would have come to me at a reasonable time after I announced in the Emerald of Oc tober 5 that there would be no more caps and gowns I would most certainly have considered their ob jections. The meeting was not called until November 5 and I, who was in Portland on business at that time, understand that only a few members of the class were present, and that their objections were not very forceful.” Harbert concluded. It was believed last night that no further action would be taken by the class on this issue.
