A Thousand Per Cent in Multnom ah Stadium for the Year
1 J « mj i Mem .i> 11' < i

ule for the University of Oregon was re
elased sports writers all over 1be coast, and
not without .justification, on a paper basis,
predicted 1 hat llie Oregons were facing as
murderous a schedule as could be cooked up.
Three successive Saturdays against powerful
California teams meant almost automatic
readying of the post-massacre crying lowcls.
Ten days ago came llie first indication
that the intended victims did not see it that
way. They rose up and met Southern Cali
fornia on its own terms, and came away with
a tie. When they got back to Eugene llie.y
said that tie should have been a win, and
nobody here could say whether or not they
were right, never having seen the UKi!) ma
chine on llie gridiron.

t^JATURDAY in Multnomah stadium, Port
land, scene of too many Webfoot dark
days of recent years, this same machine moved
up to its second scheduled knockdown-drng
out, and it rolled over it without ever losing
its momentum, rolled on.
.Much as wo suspect nun mowing . s
own horn might not lie one of the cardinal
virtues, it would seem after what happened
Saturday afternoon til Multnomah stadium
1 hat a little honest-to-goodness crowing might
he .justifiable. The big lemon and green team
looked good, played smart, interesting foot
ball, showed promise of more wins to come.
And personally, we will never forget how •
height-of-somet hing-of-ot her it seemed 1o set'
little Johnny Berry lifting and dropping that ;
huge Trojan tackle wrestler style. It was a
game which left a good feeling.
The schedule is still murderous, and with
each week the pressure will increase as the
strain of the long season begins to tell. But
from the way Tex Oliver’s John Berrys are
going now it woidd seem they like their foot
ball the hard way. This toughest of seasons
might turn out 1o be one which will finally
stifle southern articles such as the now-famous
“pardon the yawn” blast, of unhappy mem
ory, to its author. There will be more Satur
days like the last.
Horace Robinson, ASUO, and 'Our Town'

reduction to student, liody members, Horace
Robinson, tlie drama division's ■wonder man,
is making it clear that lie wauls his (liiild hall
efforts to reach the students more than ever
before.
Producer of so many hit shows at the. Uni
versity, Robinson is nevertheless artist enough
that he apparently cannot he satisfied until he
can feel that his work, a student project, all
the way through, is catching on with the stu
dents. Not that student attendance has heed
lacking, far from it in fact. Hut the (luild hall
theater seats only 200, and the usual three
night run takes care of only a small portion
of the students. Why there should not he
longer runs has always been a mystery, from
a numerical standpoint.

buildup. It was tried very successfully dur
ing the summer. Done without scenery it is
said to leave an unforgettable effect. It is
a I’ulitzer prizew inner. Robinson picks them
that may, rarely misses.
Horace Robinson is leading the horse to

The
SHOW
OFF
By NORMAN FOSTER
Power of the Cinema!
Two Wellington, N. Z., clergy
men sponsored a motion picture in
the church of one of them. The
theme of the picture was about a
thief that was reformed by two
parsons. While the show was go
ing on, a burglar entered the
church and stole the clergymen’s
hats and coats.
Stardust! . . .
Actor David Niven was NOT
called to the colors by his govern
ment. He had to return to England
because all the publicity on the j
subject made it necessary for him
to "save face" . . . For a fight se-!
quence in “Disputed Passage,”
where Akim Tamiroff is socked in
the jaw, soundmen got the desired
effect by punching a fist against
a baked ham. . . . Hedy Lamarr is
plenty mad that, before she rose
to present fame, she signed a sev
en-year contract with MGM call
ing for $750 a week for 40 weeks
a year. She thinks she should be
paid more. Oh well, business is
bad everywhere! . . . Twentieth-'

Waxworks
What with the infamous Bunion
Derby scheduled for this coming
Saturday night, living organiza
tions shouldibe thinking about what
to provide in the way of musical
entertainment. Recommended re
cordings are: “My Prayer,” waxed
by Glen Miller for Bluebird; “Dust
Be My Destiny,” recorded on Blue
bird by Johnny Messner and his
Music Box band; Eddie Duchin’s
version of “I Must Have One More
Kiss, Kiss, Kiss” for Columbia;
and “Cherokee,” a fasty waxed by
Charlie Barnet and company for
Bluebird. We doubt if you can
dance to this latter tune, but it of
fers a swell opportunity to “sit this
one out.” Another one of those
Fishie Ditties is “I want the Wait
er”—usual silly words but a swell
rhythm number. There are two
good recordings of this one, one by
Ozzie Nelson for Bluebird and the
other by Ella Fitzgerald for Decca.
Here We Come, Ready of Not- . . .
A little over a decade ago, the
British soldiers sang this song on
the way to the front:
"We licked you on the Marne
We licked you on the Aisne
We gave you hell at Neuve-Cha
pelle
And here we are again.”
But now, according to Down
Beat, the British army has a new
marching song, “The Beer Barrel
Polka.” Wonder what we’ll be
singing—if and when—but person
ally we’re going to join B com
pany, be here when it starts and
be here when it’s over.

Students Warned
Against Dangers
Found inMillrace
Dangers of swimming in the
millrace were cited yesterday by
Dr. Fred N. Miller of the Uni
versity health service.
Several cases of typhoid were
reported in Eugene this summer,
and while the cause cannot be
traced directly to the stream, it
is common knowledge that the
disease can be carried through
drainage systems, Dr. Miller ex
plained.
At this time of the year when
the ra.ce is low, any impurities
are concentrated and the possi
bility of the stream becoming a
disease carrier is increased, ac
cording to the physician.
“It is only sensible to take
preliminary precautions, and

Papers attracting considerable
interest were those presented by
Dr. Beck on stereoscopic vision in
children, and by Dr. Leepar on the
work of the famous psychologist,
Kurt Lewin. Dr. Crosland was
