Revengeful Bulldogs
Mangle Webfoots
Gonzaga Hands Oregon First 1939 Defeat
On Hayward Field; Kings-X Standing
Of Winner Preserves Duck Coast Record
By RAY FOSTER
A raging Bulldog tore all over Hayward field Saturday, ending up
with Duck feathers all over his mouth and tasting the sweet taste of
victory before a disappointing crowd of about 5,000.
After five lean years, the Gonzaga Bulldogs turned the tables on
Oregon last weekend, and left Eugene with a well-earned 12 to 7
victory. It was their third straight upset win over a much favored
team ana aiso me jjucks mm ue
feat of the season after a tie and
two wins in conference play.
Gray-haired Tony Canadeo
sparked the Gonzaga attack. He
threw both of the touchdown
passes, and stopped a sure Oregon
score by bumping fleet Jay Gray
beal out-of-bounds on another play.
Tony uncorked the longest pass
seen in Eugene this year in the
third quarter. He got the ball from
Cecil Hare on a lateral from the
Zag 34, and stepped pack to his
22 to heave the pigskin clear down
to Bob Jones on the Oregon 20.
Jones outran Steve Anderson to
score.
Score Again
This put the Bulldogs one point
behind, for the Webfoots had made
seven points earlier in the same
quarter, on a beautiful 24-yard pass
from Graybeal to Vic Reginato.
Then just seven plays later, Can
adeo whipped another pass from
hjs nine, this time to Quarterback
Jacobsen, and the second Gonzaga
score was made. The attempted
goal was wide, but the damage
was done. Those 5 points looked
too big for Oregon to overcome.
Then for the final 12 minutes of
the game, the Ducks made des
perate attempts to score. The sec
ond string backfield was in the
game for both of the visitors’
scores. They were soon yanked to
be replaced by the Graybeal-Smith
combination. First play after the
kickoff by Gonzaga was a 25-yard
pass completion by this duo, put
ting the ball on the Zag 40.

Sportwear
Ruled Out
For Dance
Coeds Complain
At Idea of Campus
Garb at Informal
Because of countless complaints
received from coeds, the sopho
more informal dance will not feat
ure a “dirtier than dirt” contest.
According to Co-chairmen Boh
Deverell and Bob Lovell, the cor
rect style for the sophomore effort
November 4 will be short silks and
high-heeled shoes for the girls and
coats and ties for the men.
The original idea for; “what to
wear” to the soph informal called
for prizes being awarded to the
sophomore girl wearing the dirtiest
pair of saddles and to the sopho
more man displaying the filthiest
pair of moleskins. Dance heads
had hoped the contest would in
fluence patrons to appear in cam
pus clothes and thereby carry out
the informal theme of the affair.
Coeds Object
Coeds, however, apparently think
that they look their best when
dressed in other than campus
clothes. And besides that, they
don’t want to be escorted to any
dance by someone “wearing hor
rible, dirty moleskins.” The fore
going being just one example of
the flood of feminine resentment
against sporting campus clothes
at a campus dance.
It was significant, according to
Bob Calkins, president of the soph
omore class, that there were no
male complaints to the proposed
sophomore dance “fall fashions.” '
The few men that contacted him,
said Calkins, were greatly in favor
of the idea because of the fact that
they would not have to rush home
from the library to change clothes
! for the dance.
Men Will Dress
So to humor the whims and fan
cies of campus ladies, the men will
appear at the soph informal neat
ly dressed in coats and ties. The
change in style will be the only
change in the dance set up, Calk
ins assured class members in an in
terview last night. “The original
plans for a friendly and congenial
evening’s entertainment will be
carried out."
Gal Grid Fans Smart!
'Opera Duds' Junked
Fashion passion receives dashin’.
And at Oregon that’s news. Sat
urday Hayward field was treated
to its first real taste of feminine
rooters in campus clothes.
Until last Saturday sport clothes
at a football game were only the
I fond dream of the girl with one
: pair of silk stockings left and a
dread of snagging them on a wood
! en bench. But the splinters bristled
in vain at the Gonzaga game for
the majority of the coed’s limbs
were clad only in ankle socks. Few
high heels were present and an
occasional fur coat stuck out like
a sore thumb.
It seems that the girls found out
that mums looked just as fetching
on sweaters as they did on furry
shoulders. The general opinion is
that one can have more fun if she
doesn’t have to spend all her time
worrying about the angle of her
hat or if her stocking seams are
straight. She might even learn
that w. b. stands for water boy,
not whole back. •
Well, maybe that’s too much to
hope for all at once but at least
we have taken one step in what
most of the girls agree is the right
direction.

book is notable for its excellent
colored illustrations. Mr. O’Day is
a well-known California author

troductions to books Dr. Nash has
printed, among these being the
"Autobiography of Benjamin
Franklin,” which Dr. Nash printed
for the Limited Editions club in
1931.
Franklin Head’s “Shakespeare’s
Insomnia and the Causes Thereof”

Frosh Show Improvement
In Placement Examination
On the basis of incomplete place
ment exam figures, Oregon’s 1939
frosh are an improvement over
last year’s recruits, grammatically
•speaking at least.
The office of the dean of arts
and letters, Mr. C. V. Boyer, re
vealed that last year 142 students
of 882, or slightly over 1C per cent
were placed in English K( the cor
rective English class, while this
year the figure is 149 of 1066, a
shade under 14 per cent, to date.
This year a new type of entrance
exam was used at Oregon. It is
called the Ohio State test, and ac
cording to H. R. Taylor, head ol
the psychology department and as
sistant dean of the graduate divi
sion, it combines a psychological
exam and an English exam, obviat
ing the necessity of two exams as
in previous years. It was Dr. Tay
lor who supervised the examina
tion.
The theory of the exam is that
the ability to concentrate on ab
stract and complex phrases, prob
lems, and words, such as those in
the test is a definite indication of
college ability and that a large and
specialized vocabulary foretells

Fansett Predicts
November 10. 11
Best on Calendar
With just three short weeks left
before the annual University
homecoming descends upon the
campus, plans were moving ahead
at a promising rate yesterday. Sev
eral meetings of the various com
mittees were held last weekend and
! vital announcements concerning
the lively alum fete were expected
to lie revealed tomorrow.
According to Elmer C. Fansett,
Oregon alumni director with offi
ces on the campus, November 10
: and 11 will undoubtedly be the
| “biggest” on the campus calendar.
After attending alumni meetings
! in Portland, Fansett was confident
in predicting the largest group of
alums in homecoming history. Of
ficers of the association met last
j night in Portland, at which time
the same confidence was expressed.
Ticket Sales Indication
Further indications of the an
ticipated record crowd were found
in the advance sales of tickets to
the Homecoming game with Ore
gon State college, and the filled
reservations of downtown hotels.
In a checkup made by Martin
Reig, through the homecoming
publicity committee, it was learned
that nearly all of the Greek letter
organizations had mailed invita
tions to alums, while those who
hadn't were taking steps to do so
immediately. The Old Oregon offi
ces are cooperating in the mimeo
graphing. The same office will re
lease 14,000 folders concerning the
affair within a few days.
To facilitate the synchronization
of all committees, a temporary of
fice was installed in McArthur
court yesterday. Les H a r g e r,
assistant director of educational
activities, will assist in the home
coming promotion.
Corby Named Chairman
At the general committee meet
ing held last Friday, Bob Corby
was named to head the sign com
mittee. Although the deadline for
homecoming signs has not been
set, nor the amount allowed for ex
penditure decided, Chairman Bert
Barr stated that all rules would be
non-elastic. The same strict plan
will also be kept for entries in the
noise parade, according to Rich
Werschkul, chairman.
Added to the publicity commit
tee, chairmaned by Joe Gurley,
were Norman Foster, Betty Ham
ilton, Marge Finnegan, Don Caw
ley, and Jack Saultzman. Others
who will work on the homecoming
promotion will be Alan Torbet, Bill
Norene, and Pat Riley.
Announcement of the band to
play for the Homecoming dance to
be held in the Igloo Saturday, No
vember 11, will be made soon by
Bud Aronson, chairman.
