VOLUME 11 EUGENE, OREGON, SATURDAY, OCT. 9, 1909. No. 4 ALUMNI DEFEATS THE VARSITY 3-0 SURPRISE SPRUNG ON VARSITY. FIRST TIME ALUMNI HAS EVER WON By the score of 3 to 0 the University of Oregon Alumni team neatly trimmed the much vaunted Varsity in a rather ragged game of football on Kincaid field this afternoon. The trick was done by a nicely placed drop kick early in the first half before the “grads” lost their wind. The game’s value lay chiefly in trying out the men and show ing that the Varsity team needs much perfecting before it shows the championship class that was expected of it. Coach Forbes was evidently disappointed, almost disgusted. “You saw the game, didn’t you?” he answered when asked for his opinion. ”We haven’t such a good team as some of us thought, have we, Bob,” said Bill. “Well, anyway, 1 know what some of them can do now,” answered Forbes- “That’s what the game was for, you know. Several of the men were out of their regular positions. I can now devote more time to perfecting their team work.” Clarke for the Varsity kicked off 55 yards to Chandler. Kerron made 15 yards and Coleman punted 35. Varsity lost the ball and rushes of Templeton and Kerron made 14 yards for the Alumni. After an exchange of punts, Latourette made a drop kick from the 20 yard line—score, Alumni 3, Varsity 0. The rest of the half was a see-saw with no score, the main sensation being the brilliant end runs of Moores and Latourette. It ended with the ball on the 45 yard line in Alumni possession. The half was decidedly in favor of the Alumni. hr the second half there was more hard straight football with fortunes a bout even. Clarke started it by a kick off to Latourette, who brought the ball in to Alumni’s 15 yard line. Neither team made yardage consistently and af ter five minutes of play Clarke prepared for a place kick from Alumni’s 40 yard line. The kick was blocked but Bill Main recovered on the 25 yard line. Two minutes later an Alumnus broke through and blocked another place kick after the ball had been worked out to the 35 yard line. The pace was beginning to tell on the Varsity and several fresh men were j sent in. Big Bailey releived Kellogg. McKinley went in at half in place of "Chuck” Taylor and Hickson went in at left end. The varsity began to fumble badly and the backs seemed to have trouble in getting the play off. For the remainder of the game the bull alternated in midfield with the old grads coming back strong. 1 he line up Alumni Hug Harding Widlund Me Entire Zacharias Moores Coleman Latourette Templeton Sullivan Kerron was as follows: Varsity C Giiles R G Scott L G Kellogg R T Rink L T Henderson RE LE Q R H LFI F Clarke _ Michael Chandler Tayloi Main Storie GLEE AND MANDOLIN CLUBS ORGANIZED The selection of the members of the new Mandolin and Glee clubs of the University was completed Thursday, the try-out for the former organization hav ing been held in Villard hall, Wednesday night. The list of candidates for the Mando lin club was small, only 18 men aspiring. In spite of the small number from which it was necessary to make the se lection, however, and in spite of the fact that the members of the newly chosen club are nearly all new men, Manager Davidson feels quite confident that it will rank equal in excellence to similar organizations of preceding years. The route of the annual tour will, of course, be the same as that of the Glee Club. The personnel of the new aggrega tion of mandolin players is as follows: Devereaux and Rothchild, first mando lins ; Moores and Curran, second man dolins; Stephens, Bean and Flynn, third mandolins; Breeding and Gross, guitars; Lyons, 'cello and Davidson, banjo. The members of the Glee Club are: Balse, Curtis, Mallet, Downs, Jett, Story, Gabrielson and Powell, tenors, and Dav idson, Geisler, Davies, Vawter, Robin son, Welch, Martin and Frazer, basses; Melvin Ogden, pianist. Out of the list of about twenty candi dates who failed 10 secure places on the Varsity club, a second glee club is to be organized and drilled under the direc tion of Melvin Ogden. This secondary club will give several concerts in Eu gene. Owing to the exceptionally fine material that was available this year. -f selection was difficult, and Manager Geary says that the second club will rank very nearly equal to the Varsity club, which will, without doubt, he the strongest organization of its kind that the University has yet produced. The first practice will be held next Monday at four o’clock in Villard hall. Professor Glen requests that all new men learn the Oregon songs as soon as possible. MONSTER RALLY IS COMPLETE SUCCESS The rally last night was a “howling success.” Two hundred and fifty stu dents, wild with enthusiasm and yelling to their fullest capacity, took the town by storm for two hours. After march ing up and down Willamette street and yelling at every corner, they marched out to Kincaid field, where an enormous bonfire had been prepared by the 150 loyal freshmen. As soon as Yell Leader Alton could quell the noise, President Campbell took the platform, followed by Regent Friend ly, Professor 1. M. Glen, Coach Forbes, Ffili Hayward, Dud Clark, Geo. Hug, Cary Loosley and Pen Williams. En thusiasm and optimism were showered upon the eager listeners for an hour and a half. Coach Forbes praised the team and told the students that with their constant aid on the bleachers, that a good team was assured. Bill Hayward took a peek into the fu ture. He pointed out that Oregon was to lose four or live of her best men this year and advised the husky fresh men to prepare to fill their places. “In time of peace prepare for war,” was his injunction. “Beware of over-confidence,” said Professor Glen. "You don’t see how you can lose and either llo I, but look out.” Dud Clark, captain of the team said: “The material and the coach are here to put out the strongest team Oregon ever had. All that is needed to insure success is the loyal support of the stu dents.” Ben Williams, president of the stu dent body, told of rallies in the past which he has attended ever since he can remember. “Is the spirit of old Oregon going to die?” he asked tri umphantly. “Look at this demonstration and judge for yourself. Instead of dying out it is growing.” 1 lie newly re-organized students’ band made its initial appearance under direc tor Lloyd Pickard. It contains at least twenty pieces.

BABES DRIB PORTLAND HIGH SCHOOL TO TINE OL 26 TO 5 TEAM SHOWS GOOD EORM The Freshman class nobly redeemed themselves this afternoon when they roundly trounced their friends from the Lincoln High of Portland in a hard fought game of football on Kincaid field. Twenty-six to five was the score. Walker and Bailey were the stars, making steady gains whenever called upon. The game was a surprise to everyone as it had been predicted that the freshmen had a weak team. The freshmen kicked off. Portland failing to make yardage, kicked to Walk er who made yardage. On the next down the freshmen fumbled, but recov ered and Kay kicked a drop from the held. Score 3 to 0 at the end of four minutes of play. Freshmen received the kick-off and kicked back to the center of the field. Vosper, the Portland quarterback, hurt his shoulder at this point and was re placed by Patterson, 1 )ay coming in from end to replace the latter and being re placed by Stiles. Portland fumbled, but recovered and made IS yards on a fake punt. They were then penalized and lost the ball. Bailey made ten and then live yards for Oregon. A punt and forward pass put the freshmen within scoring distance. Walk er kicked an easy goal, making the score 9 to 0. Portland here took a brace and with a series of forward passes and end runs rushed the ball to Oregon’s eight yard line. A long end run by Patterson took it over. They failed to kick goal—score 9 to 5. Stine took Roberts’ place at guard. Portland tried a drop kick and failed; then Day ran forty yards after the kick out. Oregon took a brace and held them for yardage. Walker made 25 yards and then fumbled at the goal line, Bailey recovering for a touchdown. The half ended, score 15 to 5. The freshmen had things their own way during this half and at no time was their goal in serious danger. Portland kicked to Walker who returned to the 40 yard line. A quarter back kick gave Portland the ball, but the freshmen re covered immediately on a fumble. Bailey made 15 yards on a fake play and after an exchange of punts Holmes was sent over for another touchdown by the freshmen. Walker kicked goal bringing the score to 21 to 5. Portland kicked off to Stagg and the freshmen punted on first down. Port land tried a forward pass, Kay receiv ing it and making 15 yards for the fresh men. Another attempt at a forward pass failed and then Portland punted. Oregon took the ball on Portland’s 45 yard line and, settling down to straight, hard football, bucked it over for a touchdown in six downs. Walker was used five times and Barzee once, both making consistent gains of from 3 to 5 yards. The try for goal was unsuccessful. I he Oregon boys started down the field for another touchdown but time was called when they reached the 20 yard line. The teams lined up as follows: P. H. S. Freshmen Alcott C Mitchell O’Neill RG Roberts Canfield L G Steine Gerspach R T Bailey Cochran LT Ruth Halim RE Onthank J. L), Stiles L E Barzee Vosper, Patterson Q Kay Patterson, Day L H Bartell Gummell R H Knox O. Day F Walker FRESHMEN ENTHUSE CHOOSE CLASS COLORS Black and gold were chosen as the class colors at the first business meet ing of the freshman class last Wednes day. '1 he “babes’’ also decided to make good and get up a little spirit after the severe grilling they got in the student body that morning. A committee was appointed to have charge of thejiig bonfire at the rally and to'arrange for the freshman party I that they decided to have on Friday evening, October 15. After the close of the class meeting, the boys of the freshman class formed in line and marched in a body to the football field, where they gave Yell Leader Alton the heartiest support in rooting practice that had been received from the class since the beginning of the year. Bishop Spaulding, of the Episcopal church of Utah, has been secured for a lecture before the student body at the lirst regular assembly of the year in Villard hall, Wednesday morning, Oc tober 13. Bishop Spaulding is a strong and able speaker of national reputation. Special musical numbers will also be given on this occasion. President Camp bell says that arrangements are being completed for an exceptionally strong list of lectures for the student assemblies this year and it will be well worth the while of every student to make it a point to miss none of them. The Y. W. C. A. held a very inter esting and well attended meeting Tues day evening, when Miss Hopkins, sec retary of the Northwest Territory, ad dressed the girls. Several reports were given by those who attended the "Breakers Conference.” Mrs. Pennell will speak at the next meeting.
