They Didn't Get Far
This Stanford drive netted almost 20 yards in the open

Journalists Plan
Annual Program
For Delegates
The 15th annual session of the
Oregon High School Press associa
tion will be held once more on the
University of Oregon campus Oc
tober 20 and 21, it was announced j
yesterday.
About 150 delegates of the or- |
ganization are expected to attend ;
the annual conclave, sponsored by j
the University's school of journal- j
ism. The program for the conven
tion, arranged by committees from
the school of journalism, is rapid-.
ly nearing completion.
Entertainment for the delegates
will include free admission to the
Lawrence Tibbet concert and re
duced rates for the Oregon-Gon
zaga football game.
The high spot of the session will |
be the annual presentation of |
awards. The following papers re
ceived awards last year:
Last Year’s Awards
Franklin High Post of Portland,
the Arnold Bennett Hall cup for J
the best high school newspaper in
the state; Corvallis High-O-Scope, I
the Eugene Guard cup for the best
paper in schools over 500; Pendle- j
ton Lantern, the Eugene Register
cup for the best paper in school j
under 500; Dundee Wee-Hi, the
Eric W. Allen cup for the best
mimeographed paper and technical
excellence in mimeographing; Ba
ker High News, the Harris Ells
worth cup for {>est high school j
notes in a local paper.
Officers for the coming year will
also be chosen by the delegates. Of
ficers the past year were Jim Thay
er of Carlton Union high, president,
Audra Haffenden of Lincoln high
in Portland, vice-president, and
Dorothy Myers of Vernonia, secre
tary. .. ~.j
Lor the next three weeks sell the
books to prospective customers.
The big reason for having such a
drive is that the amount of books
to be printed must be in to the
printer before the close of the
term, and the business manager
would like to know as closely as
possible the number of students
that wish to order a copy of the
yearbook.
This year it is the hope that
2400 books will be sold, 200 more
than last year when 2200 sold.
This is the largest number of Ore
ganas ever to be distributed in any
cne year. • ,
Dick Williams, business mana
ger, pointed out that the two eas
iest methods of purchasing the
book are as follows:
1. Pay one dollar down now, one
dollar at winter and spring term
registration and have two dollars
deducted from the general deposit.
2. If a $15 ASUO card was
purchased, the student has a dollar
credit due That credit is good for
the initial down payment.
Last year during the drive bet
ter than 125 books were sold with
practically all of the purchasers
using the term payment plan as
explained above.

Carnival Proceeds
To Make Available
Eight Scholarships
Eight deserving students will
benefit from the proceeds taken in
at the AWS carnival on October
28. Money taken at the carnival
will be placed in the association’s
scholarship fund.
Anne Frederiksen, president of
AWS, reports that the proceeds
from the past carnivals have gone
into the scholarship funds and also
, toward other things of value to
students. Last year, through part
of the proceeds from the spring
! carnival, AWS was able to have
Ruth Bryan Owen visit the cam
pus and talk to the students.
This year a sectional conference
will be held here in the spring with
delegates from over 60 schools in
the Northwest attending. It is
toward this conference that some
of the money collected from this
year’s carnival will go, besides aid
ing the scholarship fund.
With the majority of the stu
dent body contacted to work on
the carnival, the AWS prexy feels
that it will be a great success.
' “Last spring the attendance
reached a new high, and this fall,
due to Oregon’s enlarged enroll
ment, we should have a bigger at
tendance at the carnival than ever
before," she said.
Donna Ketchum, chairman of
the finance committee, announced
| that admission will be ten cents.

Saturday
Women's Housing
Groups Schedule
Big 'Bunion Derby'
Oregon’s sororities, women’s
dorms and co-ops Saturday night
will ‘‘kill the fatted calf” in honor
of. Webfoot males, as each launch
es its annual fall term “open
house” dance.
Scheduled from 8 to 12 o’clock
in. all living organizations, the af
fair will be sponsored by heads of
houses this year as a get-acquaint
ed step in campus social life.
Later in the week the housing
heads will publish a special sched
ule for Saturday night, whereby
each men’s group will be at a girl’s
house at a different time. This spe
cial program will provide for 20
minute “half-time” waits for fel
lows between house visits, accord
ing to Bettylou Kurtz, heads of
houses president.
The open house event is abso
lutely free, and each men’s group
should try to go to as many houses
as possible during the evening.
Miss Kurtz suggested. Everyone’s
doors are flung open, and no spe
cial invitation is needed.
The custom of stressing democ
racy on the campus at the begin
ning of each school year by the
open house method is an ancient
one on the Oregon campus, where
the event has been dubbed every
thing from.a “Bunion Derby" to a
“House to House Marathon.”

that the 10 to 0 score in favor of
Oregon doesn't show the superior
ity of the Webfoots. Not since the
golden days of 1933 and all-Ameri
can Mike Mikulak has the big city
seen a faster charging team from
Eugene.
Hard, clean blocking and tackl
ing made the different in the two
teams. The all-veteran Oregon
line from right end to left tackle
kept the vaunted Stanford passing
attack going backwards most of
the afternoon.
Webfoots Pass
On the other hand, Oregon
showed a passing attack that they,
have been talking about for the
last two years. Short passes that
made their mark, and long ones,
that were snagged on the run had
the stands in an uproar. One throw
by the scoring hero, little Jay
Graybeal, will be talked about ifor
a long time to come.
Little Jay started from Stan
ford’s 42 in the fourth quarter,
ran backwards about IQ yards1 idea

the floor, and then suddenly
whipped around and Sluhg a long
diagonal pass to Denny Donovan
standing on the five. Denny was
tackled on the two and Jay booted
a field goal four plays later. ’
The first score came in the same
manner as the initial touchdown in
the Southern Californiagame.
Oregon got the ball late in the sec
ond quarter in enemy territory,
and then started slinging tnat pig
skin. Bob Smith heaved a oouple to
Graybeal, and a score was majde
with but 27 seconds to p^hy. The
second pass went over 50 yards in
