'39 Christmas Revels
Due Tomorrow Night
Dick Misses
Committee
Conference
Chairman Naming,
Athletic Awards
Still Hanging Fire
Lost: one ASUO president, or,
game called on account of no head
man.
If ASUO prexy, John Dick, had
shown up yesterday noon at the
Anchorage, there would have been
an executive committee meeting,
as per schedule. But harassed
John, who only the night before
had called to inform the six other
members of the meeting, turned
up missing, so whatever business
the committee must do this term
will be done early next week.
Application Open
A break for the appointment
seeker was one result of the meet
ing, even without a titular head
for the committee. It was decided
applications will be sought before
certain appointments will be made,
so that the field to choose from
will be larger, and interested per
sons will have an opportunity to
be heard from and considered.
Dad’s Day Head
First post to come under the
new system will be Dads’ Day
chairman. Since the committee
will be meeting again Monday af
ternoon applications should be in
by noon Monday to any member
of the executive committee or to
Dean Earl. Members include Ver
di Sederstrom, Roy Vernstrom,
Ann Frederiksen, Jeannette Haf
ner, and Bud Jermain.
Other items of business which
were to have been taken care of
today were the consideration of or
ganizing the athletic managers
and the awarding of football let
ters. With President John Dick
off on a many-thousand mile barn
storming jaunt with Howard Hob
son, it is possible that the letters
and the managers will wait until
next term, but the Dads’ day ap
pointment will be made next week.
Steve Cady Speaks

With the clock ringing out three
lusty chimes, the venerable group

o'clock club rang out a successful

night.

University Press, praised the Em
erald and particularly the Three
o’clock club for their work this
term, in a short speech before the
group.

club traveled in their respective
limousines to a downtown night
spot where the usual banquet
awaited.
Members present were: Betty
Jane Thompson, Tom Wright, Ber
nie Engel, Bill Borthwick, Hal Ol
ney, Jonathan Kahananui, Roy
Galloway, Dan Biggs, Jack Bry
ant, Ray Schrick, Wes Sullivan,
and Lyle Nelson.

UO Fight Song Committee
Will Consider Suggestions
Not content with one possibility
for a new Oregon fight song the
student committee headed by
Chairman Elbert Hawkins yester
day voted to take every opportun
ity to secure a new song.
In addition to the two possibil
ities discussed at previous meet
ings the committee heard and ap
proved suggestions from several
prominent song writers who of
fered to help in the composition of
a song.
All Possibilities Considered
“All angles and suggestions have
been considered and we have taken
steps to avail ourselves of every
opportunity,” Chairman Hawkins
said.
Hawkins also pointed out that
although all outside aid is being
handled by the committee students
are welcome to try their hand at
composing suitable music and
words.
Student Participation Suggested
The plan to have students par
ticipate in writing words and mu
sic for a new fight song was sug
gested by Band Director John
Stehn. Stehn pointed out that many
great marches have been written
by people who knew nothing of
music.
“If any student can hum, whistle
or sing any tune they think appro
priate I urge them to contact me
as soon as possible,” the band di
rector said.

Big Crowd Cheers
On Oregon Quiniet
To Victory
By ELBERT HAWKINS
Co-Sports Editor
Oregon Daily Emerald
Hobby Hobson's fast-breaking:
varsity Webfoots were forced to
stage one of their famous mid
season drives at the Igloo last
night to whip Bobby Anet’s
plucky Rubenste.n Oregonians.
It ended Oregon 50.' Rubes 47,
with the largest pre-season crowd
in history, nearly 4,000, watching
one of those Oregon horse races.
Anet’s has-beens were supposed to
be driven into the boards in the
second half by superior varsity
condition. But they weren’t.
Oregon held an eight-point 40
to 32 lead midway in the last chap
ter, but the tired Rubes wouldn’t
call it quits, and ran with Hob
son's crew to the very end. They
even closed the gap to three
points. Coach Anet and his has
beens scared the varsity without
big Dave Silver, too.
On the eve of its departure for
the East and Madison Square gar
den, the varsity showed its
smoothest offense of the season.
A little bundle of fire named
Paul "Stonewall” Jackson went in
at guard for the Ducks and stole
the show with an amazing bit of
ball hawking and shooting. He was
everywhere at once—at the right
time—and got in everybody’s hair.
Paul flipped in five field goals
and three, free throws for a 13
point evening. It was the first
varsity game he ever played at
the Igloo.
Ted Sarpola, the coast’s leading
trick shot artist, had a big night
at forward himself. Ted combined
the orthodox with unorthodox to
roll in seven buckets.
Firebrand Jackson and Whirling
Dervish Sarpola couldn’t match
the point making of all-American
Laddie Gale, though the former
Webfoot pushing in seven field
goals and five gift tosses for 13
points.
Oregon led, 22 to 21 at half
time, having sea-sawed into the
lead just before the gun when
Sarpola and Jackson holed re
bound shots.
The Rubes actually had Hobby’s
crew in the hole by four points for
almost five minutes in the first
period.
After eight minutes the Rubes
were ahead 14 to 10, and after 12
minutes and 40 seconds they were
still out in front, 18 to 14.
While the crowd warmed up to
a real battle of fast breaks the
/clubs traded baskets after the
half-time intermission until it was
27 to 27. This was after five min
utes of play.
The varsity quintet then spurt
ed to its biggest lead of the game,
40 to 32, just before the halfway
mark in the last half. The Rubes
called time out at this point and
later rallied back to within strik
ing distance.

Award Slated
By ASUO
In Card Sale
100 Per Cent House
Reporting First
Will Receive Prize
Adopting two iron-clad rules
which will prevent conflict In
naming the living organization
first "over the top” in winter term
ASUO card sales, was announced
yesterday by Tiger Payne, chair
man of the sales drive committee.
Committee members met yester
day to iron out wrinkles in the
system of awarding prizes to liv
ing organizations first to buy 100
per cent student body membership.
Two outstanding rules were named
to prevent clashes in claiming the
awards in future sales contests.
BULLETIN
Buies named yesterday to gov
ern the ASUO sales contest were;
1. Sales open at ASUO office
at 8 o'clock Wednesday, January
8. The first house reporting 100
per cent at this office after that
hour will lie declared the winner.
2. All men and women active
ly affiliated with an organiz
ation are considered as house
members.
Sigma Nu received first place
prize, a davenport, for the living
organization first to reach the
sales century mark fall term. The
award was given them on a judi
cial committee ruling after six
living houses had claimed the
prize.
Hollis Recommends
On the recommendation of Pro
fessor O. J. Hollis of the law
school, who headed the committee
handing down the standards the
rules were clarified.
"The first house to buy 100 per
cent after the 8 o’clock office
opening and report the total to the
activities manager will take the
award,” Payne stated. "Cards will
be sold all day at the regular sales
tables during registration, but any
house that wants to take the
prize had better hit the deck ear
ly,” he concluded.
UO 'Our Town' Cast
Makes Appearance
The cast of "Our Town” again
appeared before the public when
it presented Thorton Wilder’s Pu
litzer prize play to an Albany au
dience on the high school stage
last night.
This is the second road appear
ance of the production which was
also behind the footlights in Rose
burg.
Stage Troupe a la Napoleon
Does Show 'On Its Stomach’
The trials and tribulations of a
director are many.
Not only must they worry about
their actors getting stage fright or
the sniffles opening night, but
Mrs. Ottilie T. Seybolt, head of the
dramatic department^ was faced
; with a new headache on the recent
theatrical road trip to Kellogg.
So much chicken and noodles did
her cast consume at the Kellog
1 grange bazaar where they were to
furnish the entertainment, that
Mrs. Seybolt was afraid the per
formers would have to be carried
onto the stage.
But the “show must go on" and
the casts of the two one-act plays,
“Bargains” by Katherine Kester
and “Love Is Like That" by Ryer
son and Clements, went through
their lines like troupers, according
to Mrs. Seybolt, and then “trooped”
back to the tables for second
helpings,

On Eve of Leaving;
Coach Lauds Boys
By HAY SCHRICK
Ringing strains of “Mighty Ore*
gon" cheered a parting team of 11
Webfoot basketball players last
night as several hundred students
and townspeople gathered at the
Eugene depot for the first fall
1939 basketball rally.
Jupe Pluvius tried hard to
dampen the spirits of the farewell
crowd but a program of songs and
yells successfully sent the squad
heading southward on the first lap
of its transcontinental barnstorm
ing hoop tour. Howard Hobson,
Webfoot coach, spoke the final
word for his team just before the
Cascade limited pulled out of the
Eugene station.
Show Possibilities
“The boys have shown definite
possibilities in their first few
games this year,” he stated. “We
are hoping with the seasoning this
trip to have as successful a year
this fall as we did in 1938.”
Hobson thanked the crowd for
its support in turning out for the
departure. Last year team players
Bobby Anet and Wally Johansen
were present to wish their ex
team mates a last word of good
luck.
Squad Introduced
Bob Elliott, yell king, introduced
many members of the traveling
squad. Those making the trip in
clude Hank Anderson, Porky An
drews, Toivo Piippo, Vic Town
