GREATEST RALLY IN HIS
TORY OF UNIVERSITY TO
TAKE PLACE FRIDAY NIGHT
The best rally that the Varsity has
ever seen is slated to take place on Kin
caid Field next Friday night, when the
football season will be formally open
ed and Yell Leader “Tubby” Alton fol
lowed by 350 leather lunged rooters will
demonstrate that the spirit of Old Ore
gon is still alive. The gridiron heroes
of a hundred battles will be among
the spectators to witness the demon
stration in celebration of the Alumni
game scheduled for the next day. A
parade through the city streets will pre
cede the ceremonies on the field.
An elaborate program has been pre
pared by Yell Leader Alton, and on
the list of speakers will be the usual
well known orators among the faculty,
Alumni and Regents: Pres. P. L.
Campbell, S. H. Friendly, “Pat” Mc
Arthur, Coach Forbes, Manager Dean
Goodman, Ben Williams, president of
the student body, Dudley Clarke, captain
of this year’s team, Bill Hayward and
speeches by various members of the
Alumni team who will tell the stu
dents some of the history of the fam
ous Oregon spirit.
The program has been arranged as
follows: Meet at the dormitory at 1
p. m.; selections by student band. The
line of march will proceed down Elev
enth street to Willamette, and down
Willamette to depot; thence to Kincaid
Field, where a record-breaking bonfire
will have been prepared by the fresh
men class. As the "'oters march onto
Kincaid Field, at a a n signal, the -
bon fire will be touched off. After a
few good rousing yells, just to demon
strate their ability, the rooters will re
tire to the background and give the
speakers the floor.
Yell Leader Alton is enthusiastic,
speaking as follows: “A good program
is assured, 350 students will participate
in the yelling, all that is required now
to make the rally a grand success is
the attendance of every person connect
ed with the University.”
WILLIAMS IS ELECTED
CAPTAIN OF TRACK
Ben Williams, ’10, champion pole
vaulter, interstate orator, and president
of the student body, was elected cap
tain of the track team last Monday after
noon, to fill the vacancy caused by the -
resignation of Oliver Huston.
The new captain is already hard at
work endeavoring to arouse interest in
track work and especialy to get the
men out for the big interclass meet on
October 23rd. He is especially anxious
about the freshmen who must be de
pended on for this year’s material.
While realizing the hard proposition
ahead of him, Williams spoke encour
agingly of the track out look. “As long
as we have Bill we can do anything.”
In regard to the coming meet, he be
lieves that it will go to either the sen
iors or sophomores, with the chances in
favor of the seniors. They will enter
Riddell and Downs in the distances,
Bristow in the sprints and broad jump
and Collins, a new man from Dallas
College, will run the 440. Williams
will take care of the pole vault and
Carl Neal will compete in the weights.
Just now there seems to be a dearth
of material among the Juniors but no
doubt they will have several strong en
tries.
Some of the best Sophomore athletes
are inelligible because of football. Ed
Davis’ absence will be keenly felt. Mart
Hawkins will run the 220 and hurdles.
Dave McDaniels and James Johns will
probably run neck and neck in the
quarter, and Watson and Sweany will
take care of the pole vault.
The freshmen, of course, are an un
known quantity, though several have
good prep records, as Kuykendall and
Kreiger from Eugene and Murphy of
Monmouth.
The track team has a hard row a
head of it, but an early start will be a
great advantage. The purpose of the
meet is to get training started early
and enable Trainer Hayward to get a
line on the men.
FOOTBALL TEAM TO
PLAY DOUBLE HEADER
Two big football games are scheduled
for next Saturday, one for the fresh
men with Lincoln High School of Port
land, and the other for the Varsity
team with their ancient rivals, the
Alumni.
To the disappointment of all, Fred
Moullen will be unable to play, as he
left for San Francisco during the last
week. His loss will greatly cripp.e the
graduates, eaving them without a pun
ter.
Another loss to the Alumni is the
absence of the Hon. C. N. “Pat” Mc
Arthur, who will not be in the lineup
this year either as player or manager.
It wars known some time ago that
Pat's official duties would not permit
him to take charge of the team, but it
was hoped that he might at least be
induced to put on a suit and at least
kick the ball once. But that cannot he.
“I have been with the Alumni team
for four years,” says Pat, “and they
hvae lost every time. Let some one
else try it for awhile.”
Aside Irom these two mishaps the
old timers are feeling in fine shape and
in spite of them they expect to put up
a great fight. The members of the
team will arrive Friday in time to get
a little signal pratcice.
The freshmen anticipate a hard game
with the Portlanders as they are not
organized any too well. Lincoln High
is one of the oldest and strongest pre
paratory schools in the state. Several
men from their former teams are now
playing on the Varsity team, and they
should play a good game.
The freshman game will come off im
mediately before the big game, giving
the spectators a chance to see both.
The whistle will blow promptly at
2:30 o’clock.

“Long May She Wave.”
Above is a picture of Oregon’s fam
ous trainer, “Bill" Hayward. He has
been with the University four years,
during which time it has never lost a
meet. He is the most popular man on
the Oregon campus. At the student
body rally one week ago, he rose to
speak and was greeted by loud and pro
longed applause. When reminded of it,
he smiled taciturnly and said, “get out
on the track. That’s the way to show
your regard for me.”
Engineers are hampered on account
of the inadequacy of the equipment in
the shops. They are now badly over
crowded and the prospect of relief this
year does not seem bright.
HAZERS HEAR
THEIR FATE
FOUR ARE SUSPENDED
AND THIRTY-ONE PUT
ON PROBATION
Four students suspended for one year;
thirt-one others on probation and their
parents or guardians apprised of their
conditions: this is the sum total and
practical final result of the hazing in
vestigation that was definitely closed
and forever buried from official cog
nizance at the special assembly yester
day morning at ten o’clock.
Three of the four who were sus
pended had been placed on probation
last year for hazing Nelson Gamnans
and the fourth made statements indicat
ing his unwillingness to comply with
the present faculty regulation. The rest
of the number implicated were given
the alternative of filing within ten days
an honorable statement, signed by their
parents, regretting the past occurrance
and promising to refrain from hazing
in the future, or remaining suspended
for one semester. So far as is known,
all will avail themselves of the former
provision.
President Campbell, in making public
the report, explained the matter fully,
going into detail on the facts and argu
ments considered by the faculty and
their general attitude on hazing.
While regretting the unpleasant cir
cumstance, he spoke in highest terms of
the manly and honorable behavior of
the men at all times during the in
vestigation. He professed his pleasure
over the spirit shown by the entire stu
dent body and the hearty co-operation
they had given the faculty in the so
lution of a problem which must, of
necessity, be a source of unpleasant
ness to all who were interested in the
welfare of the University.
In the course of his remarks, he sub
stantiated the statement made in the
Emerald Saturday that Oregon has a
hazing record to be proud of. “Class
rushes,” said he, “have been abolished
for a number of years, and severe haz
ing has never been known here. I
believe that this incident will forever
close the history of hazing at the Uni
versity of Oregon.”
The course of action adopted by the
faculty is endorsed by the students in
general, who for the most part feel
it to have been tbe wisest and most ef
fective method that could have been
adopted in clearing up a matter which,
misrepresented or misconstrued as it
; was almost certain to be by those un
; familiar with the circumstances, might
have cast serious discredit upon the
! school.
The students suspended one year are:
Abe Blackman and Austin Flegel, of
Portland; Samuel Earbart, of Medford,
and Charles Widlund, of Healdsburg,
Cal. The other men given the alter
native of one term suspension, or the
handing in of written promises with
their own and parents’ signatures that
they would in the future support the
i policy of the university faculty are:
| Calvin Welch, Elmer Furuset, Rex
i Turner, Le Verne Van Marter, E. L.
Elliott, John Shattuck, Charles Randall,
E. J. Smith, Allyn Roberts, John Shan
MANDOLIN PLAYERS
TRY OUT TONIGHT
1 lie tryout for membership in the
Mandolin Club, which had been set for
Tuesday afternoon in Villard Hall, was
postponed until tonight at 6:45. Al
though the number of candidates of
fering themselves is by no means as
large as in the tryout for the Glee
Club, some excellent material is in evi
dence and prospects are good for a
strong organization. Mr. Davidson,
manager of the Mandolin Club, urges
every student who is a mandolin play
er, to be present at the tryout this even
ing and do his share in helping the
selection of the best musical aggraga
tion possible.
The personnel of the Glee Club has
not yet been definitely determined but
the full list of the new members of the
organization will be made public within
a few days. While the large number
of candidates and the exceptional per
centage of especialy fine individual tal
ent makes selection a trifle difficult,
Professor Glen, is well pleased with the
prospect of having, when it is finally
chosen the best Glee Club that the Uni
versity has ever produced.
