UCLA colored halfback star is shown just after taking a pass from Harris and on his way to the Bruins’ second touchdown. He is being chased in vain by Bob Smith and Frank Emmons. Despite Washington’s ability and favorable betting odds, Oregon’s hard-charging line would not let the snaky-hipped star shake loose for long gains. (Picture through the courtesy of the Register-Guard.) Duck Line Successfully Bottles Bruin Black Ace To Win in Last Quarter Effectively bottling up the great Kenny George Washington, bril liant UCLA negro star, a big Webfoot line completely stopped the Bruin running attack on Hayward field Saturday afternoon, and eked out a last quarter 14 to 12 triumph. Oregon’s forwards charged into the UCLA backfield to spill Bruin ball carriers for losses time and again.

Complaining At the University of Califor nia two freshman girls launched a movement to abolish the sign out and 2:30 lockout systems. Advocates of a rule change will present a plan to the Dean of Women for “absolute free dom’’ and prepare a petition to be circulated on the campus. They charge that house rules “breed dishonesty and wide spread rule breaking.” They maintain that women disregard ing the rules are the type who leave college eventually because of scholarship deficiency. New Course Given At University High Beginning this fall, the Univer sity high school is trying out, for the first time in its history, cours es in social living for those who wish to take up student teaching. The course is meant to give the student experience in dealing with problems which he meets in his daily living. The course, which is popular in California, is just making an ad vent into the institutions of Ore gon. Howard Backus, the new su pervisor in the University high school is the instructor, loss of eight yards to the UCLA running attack. UCLA’s passing and running star, Kenny Washington, led the losers in ground gained, carrying the ball 12 times for a net gain of 15 yards. He advanced the ball 33 yards, but lost 18. Five times he failed to gain, and at no time did he break away from a hard tackling Duck team. His average gain per play was 1.25 yards. Failing to gain by running the ball, and failing to connect con sistently with his passes, Wash ington turned to the role of re ceiver. He speared one of Merle Harris’ passes in the final quar ter, and romped five yards to the Uclan’s final score. Oregon’s two touchdowns were scored by Jim Nicholson on an off tackle play from the three-yard line in the, third quarter, and by Ted Gebhardt on a pass from Jay Graybeal in the fihal period. UO Fencers Will Meet at Gerlinger University of Oregon men and women who a.re interested in the art of fencing will have the oppor tunity this year to indulge in the sport, according to Miss Dorthlee Horn, faculty adviser of a pro posed fencing club.

Vic Reginato Before Grand Jury Thursday Thursday the grand jury meets, and not until then will Vic Reginato, star Webfoot right end, know where he stands in the accident-death of Mrs. W. R. Hall. The grand jury will decide whether the evidence warrants' prosecution. Date of the jury hearing was released yesterday by District Attorney L. L. Ray. Mrs. Hall, with her husband, was struck Saturday evening at the intersection of Eleventh and Pearl, and died in the Sacred Heart hospital four hours later. Mr. Hall was still in the hospital yesterday. The city police report of the accident states that Reginato was traveling south on Oak street and stopped at Eleventh, where he turned left. He was still in second gear at Pearl when he struck Mr. and Mrs. Hall, who were crossing Elev enth on foot. The case is in for considerable' further investigation, District Attorney Ray said. State police investigating the case did not determine where in the intersec tion the couple was struck down, and there are other factors which may need more investiga tion, Ray said.

University Citizens Told Of Registration Methods All University students of voting age are urged by Virgil D. Earl to vote their party preference this year through the absentee ballot. To do so, students must be registered by Saturday. For the first time in the history of the school the administration is encour aging students to make use of their voting privilege. Students who wish to vote as absentee voters should use the following procedure: First, if the student is not registered in his home county he may register with the county clerk of Lane county any time prior to October 8. The clerk’s office will be open until 9 p.m. daily for the convenience of college students. Second, the student must write to the county clerk of his home county for an absentee ballot. Third, he marks his ballot in secrecy and then in the presence of a notary public he places the ballot in an official envelope for that purpose. There will be several notarials in Johnson hall, pro vided by the administration, who will guarantee the validity of the ballot to the student’s county clerk. Fourth, the student mails the ballot to the county clerk of his home county, thereby casting his vote. . Students who are from other states may vote in the national election but must write home to the proper officials for ballots. They follow the same procedure of mailing their vote as in the third and fourth step outlined above. There will be no charge for notarial work, the only cost of voting being the postage. *• British WomanCabinet Member Here Today New Zest for Life Needed Today, Say Mission Speakers Challange to Moderns Discussed Sunday By E. Stanley Jones at Opening Program Of University Christian Mission A new zest tor me—call it Dy wnatever name you win—a new philosophy or a new interpretation of life is the thing vitally needed by people tooay. Although it was expressed in different ways, this thought was advanced by the four speakers who yesterday led and1 today will lead opening meetings of the Unive*ity Christian Mission. Speaking before 2500 persons Sunday evening E. Stanley Jones presented a five-point program tor which people of today are chal lenged to work: Good news to the poor—the economically disinherit ed— that there shall be no poor; release to the captives—the social ly and politically disinherited; the opening of the eyes of the blind— i the physically disinherited; the setting at liberty the bruised—the morally and spiritually disinherit ed—and the Lord’s Year of Jubi lee —a new beginning on a world scale—with the spirit of the Lord: as the dynamic behind it all. Three forums and an address ■were presented by the speakers yesterday. Ballard Speaks Discussion of the relation be tween modern liberal religion and psychology started during the 4 o’clock forums guided by Dr. J. Hudson Ballard, minister of the First Presbyterian church in Port- j land. One should use psychology as one’s life guidance, he declared. The marks of a sound mind as pointed out by Dr. Ballard are a celaned-up, a speeded-up, a poini; ed-up mind. Two marks of an ideal are: it is beyond you but not impossible. The mind is more plastic than any other part of the body, Dr. Ballard said. Advises on Marriage Mrs. Grace Sloan Overton in her discussion group on “Marriage in a Changing Culture” urged stu dents to obtain a new philosophy of life to go with their more ad vanced physical knowledge of life. She listed four basic attitudes toward marriage: the patriachal attitude as illustrated by the Orient; class distinction and the advisability of sharply defining the class lines; marriage of advan tages; and the romantic marriage. Modern misfortunes in relation to marriage are divorce, pre-marital relations, illegitimate children, and fewer children in the higher class. The present generation is doing the clearest thinking in regard to this.

Tragedy Plays Role In Naming of McClure Tragedy played a ”ery important part in naming, and in the dedi cation of one of the oldest buildings on the Oregon campus, McClure hall. Situated between the art school and Friendly hall, McClure with all its scientic equipment has housed the chemistry department ever since it was established in this school by Edgar McClure, the first pro lessor of chemistry of the Univer sity.

On one of his return trips he slipped and fell to his death. In memory of Edgar McClure, the class of 1901 dedicated the chemistry building to him, and erected a plaque in his honor.
