Rae . . . for many years professor of journalism and promi nent in Oregon news work will go to Chicago in new capacities. Raepectedj To Positions In NEA,NMA Professor to Ask for Year's Absence to Handle New Jobs Professor Arne G. Rae of the school of journalism will return to the campus with two large scalps hanging from his belt—the national presidency of the News paper Managers association, and the executive managership of the National Editorial association. In answer to a telegram from Pro fessor Rae, President Erb and Dean Allen have promised to ap prove a request to the board of higher education for a leave of absence for one year, so that he may live in Chicago to attend to the duties of his new and impor tant positions. These honors are a further trbi ute to the esteem in which the Oregon school of journalism is held in newspaper circles. The school, which is acting as host to day to more than 200 high school editors and publishers, has a na tional reputation which generally places it among the three or four best schools in the country. many urners i aiieu Professor Rae is not the first of its organization who has been called to an important position elsewhere. Institutions which have called upon the Oregon school for faculty material at various times include the Universities of Wash ington, Kansas, Stanford, Minne sota, Wisconsin, Omaha, Iowa, Ohio State, the Carnegie Tech, and Berry and Albany colleges, be sides innumerable high schools. Professor Rae, the latest to be honored by such a call, was grad uated from Oregon in 1922 and has been on the faculty since 1929. The policy of the school, which has won it its national reputation, is a constant insistence upon high standards. This year the standard has been raised again, and in the term schedules for the present term there appeared for the first time the prerequisite: “Fifth De cile or Higher on Entrance Eng lish Examination.” This means that students are not accepted un less they can start with a good control of the English language. Good Placement Record One result of the school’s policy is an excellent record for the placemen): of graduates. The large class that was graduated last June was almost entirely placed before the vacation was over, and a few days later the word went out that every girl who was waiting for a job had one; and all the boys ex cept two whose specialties were different from the particular re quests of editors at the moment. “We could place more students than we graduate," said Dean Allen, “but sometimes the oppor tunities are most numerous in the city, while students want to work in the small towns, or in writing, when at the moment we have more specialists in advertising or vice (Please turn to page six) Oregon Eleven Will Tackle Fordham Today Campus Prepares for Alums Warm Welcome Slated For Grads at Greatest Homecoming Dags General Chairman Watson Plans Meeting Of Saturday Trains; Revival of Oregon Old-Fashiond Hello' Spirit Thousands of Oregon alumni will receive the greatest wel come ever accorded to “old grads’’ when they arrive on the University campus for Homecoming week-end, November 4, 5, and 6, Dick Watson, general chairman, reported yesterday.

Every returning grad will re ceive a ribbon, showing his name and class, at the registration booth in Johnson hall and all stu dents wlil be supplied with ribbons of another color bearing their name and class, Gleeson “Tigo” Payne, advertising chairman, said. Order of the “O” men are being contacted to force students to wear their badges. Revive “Hello” Spirit Oregon’s traditional “hell o” spirit will be really revived this Homecoming, Watson said, in ask ing that students speak to every alum they meet on the campus. Payne expressed the belief that “the names and class years on their registration ribbons will bring a friendlier spirit between the returning grads and students and give them something of a common interest to talk about.” Ten downtown business house windows will be decorated for Homecoming display, Payne said, by members of his committee in conjunction with members of the Eugene Monday Morning Quarter back club. In addition to the win dow displays, every store will have (Please turn to page four) No. 1 Homecomer Gov. Charles H. Martin . . . will be among Homecoming crowd on November 4, 5, and 6.

Win-Hungrg Ducks Attack Battling Rams Before Gotham Fans Oliver Expected to Start Same Lineup Used Against Stanford; KEX Will Handle Direct Broadcast of Game on Coast It will be East versus West on the gridiron today at New York City’s famous Polo Grounds as the Oregon Duck battles the mighty Fordham Ram for intersectional glory and a chunk of New York gold. Fordham, like Santa Clara on the coast, is the big eastern independent—unquestionably one of the strongest team in the •rt.uani.ic seci-or. wnenever uoacn Jimmy Crowley’s Rams take the field in intersectional games, foot ball fans east of the Mississippi know that the honor of eastern football is being well upheld. Oregon to Uphold Meet That leaves it up to Oregon to prove the merits of Wastern foot ball—football as it is played on the Pacific coast and northwest. And Tex Oliver’s Oregon Webfoots are set for the jo)D. Even the us ually pessimistic California sports writers agree that this year Ore gon's chances of bringing credit to the coast with a football victory over Fordham are definitely good. Station KEX will broadcast the Oregon-Fordham game at 10:45 (WST). A re-creation of the game will be broadcast at 11 over KOIN. As for the Oregon players, a game and trip like this is some thing that comes only once in a lifetime, and they intend to make the most of it. Besides, the Web foots have a precedent to follow— for—seven years ago, a powerful Webfoot crew journeyed to this same New York. That club, the last Duck agregation to make the long jaunt, walloped a famous Chick Meehan-coached New York university squad 14 to 7. Same Lineup Possible The same lineup that started against Stanford is expected to open against Fordham. Unless Oliver makes last-minute switches, John Yerby and Vic Reginato will start at ends; Big Bill Foskett and Elroy Jensen at tackles; Nello Gio vanini and Cece Walden at guards; and Jim Cadenasso at center. In the backfield, Jim Nicholson is almost a cinch to open the battle at left halfback post as is Frank Emmons at fullback. Triple-threat er Ted Gebhardt is slated for duty at right half, and Hank Nilsen is ready to hold down the quarter back post. The backfield that showed #o well against Stanford is also cer (Please turn to par/e five) Conventioner Ron Husk . . . leaves for national Interfraternity council meeting. Special Invitations Planned for Alumni Several thousand Oregon alumni will receive personal invitations from their campus living organiza tions to attend this year's “big gest” Homecoming, Dorothy Mag nuson, assistant general chairman, said yesterday following an inter fraternity council meeting Thurs day which okeyed the special in vitation plan. The invitations will be made-up for each organization in the alumni office on the houses’ own stationery, she said. Each house will write the copy for its letter, furnish the stationery and address and mail them. Miss Magnuson said arrange ments made with Elmer Fansett, alumni secretary, will permit the houses to have their invitations printed free-of-charge. 'Frosh' Erb, }Hour' Oliver Take Wew Roles I want to add my words of wel come to the alumni and an ur gent invitation to all of you to return to the campus for Home coming on November 4, 5, and 6. The optimistic and enthusiastic spirit on the campus this year, which extends from the football team throughout all of the branches and activities of the Uni versity, is something which I think will please you very much. The program is being planned to assure all of you returning grads a fine time, and we will all be proud to have an opportunity to show the University to you. DONALD M. ERB.

(Tex) Oliver has been on the Webfoot campus less than seven months but in that short time this soft-spoken, smiling Texan has become Ore gon’s “Man of the Hour.” He came here when Oregon football was at a low ebb. Stu dents, athletes, and alumni, as well as spectators were dis gruntled. A change in the coaching personnel was neces sary. Coach Prince G. Callison went, and up from Arizona via California came Tex Oliver, one of the game’s master strate gists. He wasted little time, did this Phi Beta Kappa scholar with West Point background. He kin dled a new spirit both on his squad and among Oregon sup porters as a whole. Oregon learned to fight on the grid. Tex Oliver’s personality was catch ing, and the Oregons soon be came fired with an ambition to get ahead. Asked for ‘Ball Club’ Followers of the Webfoot football fortunes asked not that Oliver turn out a Rose Bowl en try. They asked merely that Oli ver field a team that ‘‘looked like a ball club. And Oregon fans were not (Please turn to page, five) ‘Man of Hour’ Tex Oliver
