Football Players' Gridiron Dress
Worries Mentors Oliver, Cole
By SADIE MITCHELL ^
What the well-dressed football player will wear on the gridiron for both comfort and color is t
problem which continually confronts the coaching staff of the University of Oregon,
From the entire football wardrobe of approximately five hundred suits, it is no easy task for Coach
Tex Oliver and Walter Bonney, custodian of equipment, to outfit the squad with three complete uni
forms. “Besides juggling the suits to fit the players,” said Bill Cole, assistant coach, “it is often neces
aaiy lu ua.u in a laiior LQ maKt
the proper adjustments.”
Weather conditions are taken
into consideration before a game,
and on rainy days the team usual
ly wears its gold satin pants and
yellow worsted jerseys, because
they are easier to clean than the
green outfits.
Suits Not Durable
Football suits, which are made
of satin, more for its flash than
its durability, have to be cleaned
after each game. They rarely with
stand more than one seson's wear
on the varsity, but they can be
used later by the freshman squad.
The players use old uniforms and
shoes for practice, but change into
their game suits about two hours
before the kick-off. “When we
played USC at Portland, they used
their practice uniforms during the
entire game,” said Bill Cole, “but
they planned to change at the half
if it got too wet.”
“Football shoes are perhaps the
most important item and the big
gest expense of the team,” Cole
said. “It requires a good deal of
care to keep them from becoming
heavy and water-soaked,” he ad
ded. “and we have to be careful
that they fit the players properly.”
Colors Considered
It is sometimes difficult to
match colors in pants and jerseys
to correspond with the colors of
the University of Oregon, Cole
finds. One feature he points out
about Oregon uniforms is that the
pants are high-waisted so that
they cover the hip pads.
Other football fashions are the
colorful Sideline coats with hoods
attached, which are blanket-lined
for warmth, green wool jackets
with inserted leather sleeves, and
green and yellow socks. “On wet
days some players omit the socks
because they say socks tend to
slow their action,” Cole said.

Fencing Ball Is
New Gym Sport;
Attracts Many
A queer looking contraption,
looking like a cross between a
punching bag and a skipping rope,
has hung in the basket room of
the men's gymnasium for the past
few days attracting many inquisi
tive remarks.
This combination is the main
prop of a new sport called fencing
ball. Essentially the sport is much
the same as fencing except that
the harmless leather bag is used
instead of the dangerous foil.
Frank Plinsky, equipment care
taker of the school of physical edu
cation, predicts that the game will
have widespread popularity among
the University students.
The ball, shaped like a boxing
bag only smaller, hangs by a snap
from the center of a white elastic
cord.
The whole object of the game is
to strike your opponent with the
bag. The duel is started by the
opponents grasping the ends of the
cord and stretching it between
them. By moving their wrists in
a circular motion, the ball whirls
in a large circle. One opponent
may then, by, suddenly leaning
toward his opponent, send the ball
flying at him. And if that gets
easy you can try it with your left
hand.
More Walk Repair
Begun Yesterday
Work commenced yesterday on
the repairing of the walk lead
ing from the sidewalk to the
south side entrance of Oregon.
The walk has been in a very bad
condition for some time and con
struction technicians ordered the

gan.
Shrubbery plantings are also
being made this week along the
south wall of the library follow
ing the plan of the designs which
were made last summer. Labor
on the retaining wall at the east
end of the library has been dis
continued until the arrival of
more materials.

Chinese Dramatist
! Has Unusual Hobby
___
i
A rare and difficult hobby is that of Kenneth David Chin of San
Francisco's Chinatown and the University of California at Berkeley.
Mr. Chin, a female impersonator and scholar of Oriental drama, has
for the past three days been the house guest of Wilfred Roadman.
Yesterday he discussed the Chinese theater before a class in introduc
tion to theater arts.
“To become a professional actor, I would have to have trained!
uiitivvM, uvui uiiunv ^ umu. i a
nized teacher. Acrobatics, singing,
speaking, dancing and pantomime
are a few of the arts that must be
' mastered by a would-be Chinese
actor. There are no schools of
j drama there,” he explained.
David was born in America, one
of ten children. He wanted to go
to college but lacked the money.
So he thought perhaps the Man
darin theater could use an inter
preter for the benefit of the tour
ists who visit that oriental play
house. The management thought
it a good idea too, so Kenneth went
to work in the most important
Chinese theater in America.
It was at the Mandarin that
Wilfred Roadman met him. and
where other San Francisco visitors
may see him also.
Female Impersonation Old Art
Origin of female impersonation
on the stage dates to 600 A.D.,
I Kenneth related. Jealousy of an
empress over the love affair of her
emperor husband with an actress
caused that suspicious ruler to ban
women forever from the theater.
‘‘And, as you cannot have a play
without women, men were forced
to take the parts,” he said.
According to Mr. Chin, the thea-'
ter of his people is a place to relax
completely. Eat, jabber, sleep— |
with an occasional glance at the
stage. Drop in any time, leave
when you like. The play lasts from
six to ten hours, and everybody
knows the plot. If you miss a
piece of dialogue, don’t worry, be-|
cause it will be repeated in song,
in a few minutes.
Chinese Stage Is Simple
The stage is bare. There are1
two doors, an entrance and an
; exit. The orchestra usually sits on
the right. “Since you cannot satis
factorily put a mountain on a
j stage, why try?” argue the Chi
nese.
“So a chair, covered by a black
cloth becomes a mountain, and is
labeled so. If one is to ride a horse \
on stage, he merely carries a whip
and goes through the motions of |
mounting and dismounting.
“Waving a flag denotes snow or
rain, Angels carry horse tails,
used as fly swatters. Because, as
the fly is an evil symbol, the swat
ter indicates purity and goodness.”
Kenneth then proceeded to saun
ter seductively across the room,1
rolling his eyes. “Every type and j
character has a different walk,”
he said, “and this one is a flapper,
or loose woman.”
Again he fluttered forward for a
few graceful steps, before the
amused class. This time he was
a virtuous, respectable woman.
But in betwen demonstrations,
Kenneth’s walk was a normal and1
noticeably masculine one.
Plans to Produce Plays
When he returns to his family!
in San Francisco’s famous Chi
nese settlement, Mr. Chin will
work on a group of plays, to be
produced for the benefit of suf
ferers in China.
“The conditions in China are
even worse than the newspapers
make out,’’ Kenneth intimated. “I
have relatives there, and their re- i
ports are very gloomy.’’
To become a psychiatrist is Ken
neth's ambition, and to help the
unfortunate in his native land with
the aid of psychiatry is his goal.
Miss Earl Chosen

Few Headaches
Reported After
Homecoming
There were plenty of big par
ties after the game, but the
sale of mixers and headache
tablets didn't show it.
Campus druggists and foun
tain clerks reported that this
was one of the most sober home
comings that they had ever wit
nessed.
Every local dispensary report
ed a drop in the mixers and
headache tablets, with one ex
ception, which reported increase
in the sale of mixers over other
weekends.
Few business managers re
ported the presence of a “tight”
near the campus, but several
commented that this had been
the driest homecoming in several
years, and they did not refer to
the weather either.
Centenarian Found
To Have Been First
Loyal UO Supported
By WPA News Bureau
PORTLAND, Nov. 8.—Univer*
sity of Oregon coeds may well re
vere the memory of Mrs. Sarah
Todd, centenarian, according to
findings of WPA writers engaged
in final editing of the Oregon
Guide of the American Guide se
ries of travel books. For “Grand
ma Todd", as she was familiarly
known in Eugene, walked to the
polls in November, 1913, and cast
the first vote for the University
of Oregon appropriation, records
reveal.
Born in Kentucky when that
state was a wilderness, Mrs. Todd
came to Oregon in 1893. Mistak
enly believed for many years to
be a sister-in-law of Abraham Lin
coln, she was 103 years old when
she cast her ballot for her pet edu
cational institution. Mrs. Todd
died in 1914.

A gentleman removes his gloves when

gloves. Don't offer a dead fish or a steel clamp.
If you wish to indicate your tremendous strength
carry a lead pipe with you at all times; bend it
out of shape before the introduction, and then
shake, hands moderately, thus implying that you
could break the other’s arm if you desired, but
you are too gentlemanly to do so.
