Plans had been made to admit 344, but only 112 have qualified thus far. Brigadier General H. H.

He expressed a desire for men who have graduated from our flying school and who have com pleted the flying service in our squadrons.

Uses Razzle-Dazzle On the campus this weekend speculation ran high as students | gathered to talk of the chance of Oregon playing "wide open” foot ball under her new mentor, if his signature was obtained. Oliver uses short and long punt forma tions and balanced and unbalanced lines, especially advocating the 1 same brand of razzle-dazzle play ! which typifies the southwest con ference.

Hunter of the state board of higher educa tion, will be the principal speaker at an assembly in Gerlinger hall on Thursday when he will discuss “The Conquest of the Constitution” before the students of the Univer ; s»ty. With the aid of a huge map of the world on the platform in front of his listeners, Dr. Hunter will de scribe graphically what has hap pened to the freedom of democra cies in the modern world. Dean Recommends Talk Dean Karl W. Onthank, dean of personnel of the University, yes terday recommended the Chancel lor’s talk when he said, “He has an important message which will be extremely interesting to students.” Chancellor Hunter is to give the same adress to the Oregon State college students on Wednesday, an annual event on the campus. The “chancellor’s assembly” is Puddle Jumper Misses; Poise Saves Muddle When Irwin Zeller, ’40, step ped from his car in front of the Alpha Chi Omega house, where he had stopped to pick up his date for the Theta Chi formal, he put his foot in it. It was a mud puddle, four inches deep. Surprised but unruffled and calm, he proceeded in his original purpose, entered the Alpha Chi O living room, and sat down on the arm of the sofa before the fire. While the girl was getting ready and to the surprise of the others in the living room, he calmly removed the wet shoe, then the dripping sock, rung it out in the large fireplace, and wriggled his toes happily over the hearth, carrying on a more or less intelligent conversation meanwhile. Apprised that his date was ready, he pulled his sock on, shoved his lower pedal extremity into the damp black oxford, and left for the dance. Jesse Owens Gives Olympic Lowdown; Interested in U of O By GORDON M. CONNELLY This is an interview between one of the world’s slowest humans and the world's fastest human. Picture the Multnomah club maple court and five dusky boys doing a war dance with a leather casaba as their fetish and white boys as their meat. That was the situation when in walked Jesse Owens, who has broken many cinder records and now an engagement, for Jesse is just one hour late for his appointment with the Emerald reporter. In spite of it all the fudge-colored sprinter and jumper from Ohio Band to Go Modem In Coming Concerts Two more concerts of the Uni versity concert band are being planned, it was announced yester day by John Stehn, director, for presentation in the spring. Special attention is being devot ed to modern compositions of con temporary composers. The Amer ican composers, Ferdie Grafe and Henry Hadley, will be presented in the playing of the former’s “Mar di Gras” and “Overture in Bohem ia” of the latter. Debussy, contem porary French composer, will also be represented in the playing of “Festivals.” Although modern selections will predominate, some numbers of , Wagner and possibly Grieg will be j played. stare university ana tne tsernn Olympics is a great fellow. Sat urday night Jesse brought to Port land his colored Olympians, a group of ex-collegiate stars, out shining even the Webfoot Goliaths, to do battle with the Multnomah club quint. Yes, they won—their 51st win in 53 games. In his navy blue suit and red and black tie and sox to match all 5 feet 10 3-4 inches of him was handsome, no doubt about that, and he displayed a big smile and a ready disposition to laugh when occasion demanded, but that under nourished moustache couldn't even compare with some of the hairs the sophomores were proudly dis playing last week. , Jesse evidenced a great deal of interest about the U., but when he praised George Varoff while de csribing his exhibition, he referred to him “down at Oregon State.” Also “down there you should keep your eyes on Mack Robinson.” (Please turn to page four) Watch Your Step, Doughboys Fifteen coeds . . . fall in for little colonel candidacy. Coed Colonel Candidates Quizzed, Wouldn’t Wage War, Women’s Wish By BILL SCOTT What do coeds think about war? To answer this question the Emerald decided to conduct a poll of the 15 of the campus' fairest who are candidates for “little colonel’’ of the Military ball, Saturday. The candidates were inter viewed by an “in-your-house-by phone’’ canvas. The coeds, 11 out of 15, were summoned from their studies to answer a list of five questions. On the first question the colo nels expressed a laudable unanimity by answering no to “do you favor war’’ ? In this the girls reflect almost world wide sentiment in abhorrence of what Sherman didn’t call heaven. Would you support the Unit ed States in an aggressive war?, the glamor girls were asked by the inquiring reporter. The yes’s had' it, just nosing out the no’s by six to five. The reporter must have mum bled, or the girls not under stood, when asked the third question, “Would you support the United States in any war?’’ for 6 of the fair reversed their previous answer to make them either support the U. S. in an aggressive war and not in any war or else oppose the country in an aggressive war and jret support it in any war. Maybe it was the sudden change from deep study that caused the inco herency. The vote on the ques tion was yes, 7; no, 4. On the much debated subject of optional military training, the girls favored the optional plan by 8 to 3. On this question the coeds disagreed with the sentiment of a state eieclion on the question. To finish the poll, the coeds were again of one voice to de clare that they were all Chris tians. The 15 candidates, 11 of whom were located are: Alice Lyle, Phillis Payne, Mary El eanor Bailey, Ruth Leonard, Peggy Jane Sanford, Betty Hamilton, Catherine Staples, Jean Holmes, Margaret Carlton, Betty Crawford, Mary Mahoney, Pt Brugman, Genevieve Mc Niece, Marry Ellen Williams, and Aida Macchi.

This old axiom was again proved with the almost simul taneous arrival of two art ex hibits yesterday. While waiting for promised exhibits, John Ryder, graduate assistant in architecture put up a display of interior designs, dress designs, and landscapes by persons connteeted with the mov ie industry. Then a display of Harold Oln stad’s sketches of Mexican ar chitecture arrived. A place was finally found in the architectural exhibit room for these. The crowning event came with the arrival of a “trio” of pic tures done by three contempor ary American artists: Henry L. McFee, George O’Keefe, and Flu gene Speicher. This exhibit which is being circulated by the American Federation of Arts, was placed in the little art gal lery with Mr. Ryder’s display.

The flip-em-in - from - anywhere style of play used by Jiggs Dahl berg's boys from the copper state, ■ proved to be the downfall of the Ducks last night as big Bill Lazet ich and Jim Seyler found the hoop for 17 and 15 points respectively. Decisive factor in the Montana victory, however, was the unerring accuracy of the Grizzly pack from the free throw line. The Montan ans connected for 20 points from the gift line in 20 attempts while Oregon hit only 12 out of a like number. Stars Stopped Montana stopped Oregon's big threats, Laddie Gale and Dave Sil ver, cold, limiting each to one lone field goal. Gale, however, sank five free throws to boost his scor ing for the night to seven. Halftime score favored Montana [ anly 28 to 26 but during the second period, Jiggs Dahlberg’s, Jiggs I Dahlberg’s men moved away, one time leading by 13 points. Ducks Rally With two minutes to play, and Montana out in front by a com fortable margin, Ted Sarpola, Bob by Anet and Slim Wintermute, staged a fast scoring rally but were unable to close the gap com pletely. Twenty fouls were called on Oregon with Gale, Silver and Anet forced out of play with four per sonals. Both Montana forwards, Lazetich and Ryan, also were ejected from the game. Anet was high man for Oregon with nine points, followed by Win termute who tallied eight.

If not called for at once, the checks will be returned i to Portland. Frosh Once Fought To Wear Green Lids Forbidden in 1903 to wear a shipment of little green rooter’s lids they had ordered, the freshman class wore them anyway. According to a recent survey of the Emerald files, wearing of the green hats was accomplished with no small amount of struggle by the freshmen until 1910 when the tables were turned. Then an ASUO ruling went into force compelling all freshmen to wear the green lids. Such strenuous objection to the wearing of the lids was shown oy me irosn men mat one promi nent senior, Lowell suggested a means of enforcement. “Beat ’em over the head and then throw ’em in the mill race,” he said. “There doesn’t seem to be any other way.” Another upper classman, Charles Robison, thought they should “Bar all freshmen who do not wear green caps from student functions. These functions are for college men. These things make a college man: his books and his college life. Deficient in either he is not a college man.” Green lids were burned by the frosh every year at Junior Week end starting in 1912, and, as the years went on, many hazing events came to take place at that time. Traditions were observed. Events included a parade up Skinner’s Eutte with sophomores herding the freshmen and paddling them all the way. At the Butte, fresh men dipped their hands in paint and painted the “O.” Violations of traditions resulted in public pad (Please turn to page jour) Master Dancers Add Nine Members After Hop Tryouts Master Dance, creative dance honorary, yesterday announced the pledging of three new junior mem bers, and six regular group mem bers, following tryouts held last Wednesday night.

DG's Have Fire, Studes Cheer Cries of “FireiFire!” echoed through Oregon fraternity hous es last night as five engines speeded up Alder street. Men de serted books, and others half into bed, followed up the street after the red wagons. The engines stopped In front of the Delta Gam house and the firemen rushed up to the third floor to douse a burning curtain, ignited by a short-circuited ra dio cord. While their comrades worked inside, the lads on the truck put on a show with their searchlight to amuse the small crowd gath ered. The man with the light caused cheers and applause from the fraternity men by shining the beam into coeds’ windows and onto the roof where other girls had gathered, resulting in screeches from scantily-clad girls as they scrambled for cover.
