Bannan, acting professor of English and exchange teacher from the University of Sidney, described Australia to freshmen at the Phi Theta Epsilon assembly yesterday. Australia’s government also re sembles ours, having a state and’ federal system and having strict immigration laws as to the . “white" policy. * Japanese Covet “Japan and China are regarded very unfavorably,” said Miss Ban nan, “because Australia is so sparsely populated that the Ori ental countries look at some of the undeveloped spaces with covetous eyes for their over-population.” Turning the discussion to the college life, Miss Bannan men tioned that there was a University located in every state, but sorori ties and fraternities were un known. “Clothes are similar, but if one of our fellows in their schools clothes were put down on an Aus tralian campus, the students would wonder what on earth had hap pened to him,” Miss Bannan said.

Football Bows Out Of Picture Graybeal Tops in Nation in Field Goal Department By RAY FOSTER The king of the fall sports, foot ball, goes out for 1939 with the satisfaction to the home fan that the University of Oregon had its most successful season since 1934. They stand now tied for fourth place in the tough coast confer ence with Washington, each with three wins, and also a tie for the Ducks. Also go out 13 senior grid iron men to distant parts. Coach Tex Oliver ended his sec ond season at Oregon after show ing that his teams can be as in teresting and as entertaining as any on the Pacific coast. They also showed the larger schools down south that they can play more than just listless ball they were branded as playing. Poor Californians! In the first game, they tied the now Rose Bowl favorites, El Tro jan, 7 to 7. Then in quick succes sion, California and Stanford went down to destruction, to place the Webfoots in a favored place on top of the standings. This leadership lasted only a couple of weeks, until a never-say die Bruin from UCLA tripped them, 16 to 6. This came after a let-down against Gonzaga, ending up on a short end of a 12 to 7 loss. A weak Washington State team got swept clear off its feet, and almost all the way back to Pull man, by an enraged Webfoot team, 38 to 0. It was the frrst time in the fall that Oregon had scored more than a single touchdown in a game. Then came the well-balanced Beaver team from Corvallis, and in the best game of the season, OSC won its fourth straight “civil war,” 19 to 14. Two “prayer” passes by the Smith-Graybeal duo netted both Oregon scores. The wind-up was the 20 to 13 loss to a much improved Washing ton outfit. Graybeal made the points for his team, including his third field goal, to place him in the top position in the nation in this department.
