NEW COLLEGE SONGS
FOR OREGON ROOTERS
Greater and more inspiring than the
famous “Boola” is said to he the new
song sweeping through the Eastern
Colleges, a copy of which is on its
way for the followers of Yell Leader
Alton to use during the coming year.
Coach Forbes heard of it a few days
ago and immediately wrote to Yale for
the words and music.
Yell Leader Alton is enthusiastic over
it. “It’s just what we need,” he de
clares. “Being a small college, Ore
gon must borrow her songs from the
larger institutions, and this ought to
take well with the rooters as ‘Boola’
is getting somewhat old.”
The contest for Oregon yells and
songs was intended to close today, but
those in charge have decided to ex
tend it for the rest of this week. Al
though some good productions have
been received, many more are coming
in at the last minute, and it is believed
that an extension of time will give the
delinquents time to perfect them and
thus get better results. The contest
will positively close Saturday night and
the fifteen dollars in prizes will be
awarded next week
“YOU’RE SCARED”: SOPHS.
“DARESEN’T”: FRESHMEN
The freshmen have not yet answered
the vaunting challenge hurled in their
faces for a football game by the Sopho
mores last week. At their class meet
ing they voted to accept it hut the sec
ond year men have received no official
notification of the fact. They are in
sinuating th,it none of the embrio war
riors have the' nerve to deliver it. The
freshmen, however, warn them not to
go too far—“we might get mad!"
1 he University of Oregon Dramatic
Club will meet tomorrow night at 7:30
o’clock in Professor Glen's room. Plans
arc to he discussed for the coining
year and the pcrsoncllc of the member
ship committee decided.
The local Merchants Protective As
sociation last night agreed to aid Man
ager Goodman in persuading all the
Kugene merchants to close their doors
on the afternoon of November 19 for
the O. A. C. game.
TO CHANGE KINCAID
to McArthur field
A campaign is being started to change
the name of Kincaid Field to McArthur
'eld. Judge McArthur was for fifteen
years a regent of the University of Ore
gon and out of respect for his son "Pat
McArthur, the "father of athletics,”
many people believe that his name
should be perpetuated in some fitting
monument.
It is claimed that Mr. Kincaid was no
benefacor of the University and de
serves no such honor as was bestowed
on him. He was the owner of the land
but it was paid for by the Regents.
McArthur, on the other hand, is a
name known and honored by all friends
of the University. No one ever took a
more earnest part in athletics than "Pat."
liven now, he finds time among his
official cares to take an active part in
student affairs and the opinion is quite
general that "McArthur” would be a
more appropriate title for the field on
which Oregon fights her athletic bat
tles in the future than is “Kincaid.”
Trackmen will receive careful atten
tion this year at Washington. It is
proposed to put track athletics on a
firmer basis next year and in order to
carry out the plan, winter training will
ne expected of the men, with some inter
class meets to lend zest to the work.
Graduate Manager Zednick, of the
University of Washington, believes that
the regulations regarding the earning
of the football “W" should he made
more lenient and a resolution for that
purpose will be presented to the board
of control of the Associated Students.
Gnder the present ruling Washington
men must play three entire halves. Man
ager Zednick advocates that the ruling
be changed so that a man playing in
three halves of conference games be
given his "W", even though he play
only a few minutes. 1 le argues that
in many cases faithful players fail to
receive a "W" on account of injuries or
other reasons necessitating their remov
al from the game.
War will be studied by Washington
freshmen this year and next year both
freshmen and sophomores must study
military tactics. The regulation West
Point uniform will be used.

WASHINGTON ACQUIRES
NEW A. Y. P. E. BUILDINGS
(By Jack Hensley, The Emerald’s Spec
ial Correspondent at the University
of Washington.)
SEATTLE, October 16.—Today, the
last day of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
Exposition, marks an epoch in the his
tory of the University of Washington,
for when the lights are switched off
at twelve tonight, Washington will
formally inherit all the landscape gar
dening, all the walks, and most of the
buildings left by the big fair. In oth
er words, the local institution will re
ceive the largest single heritage of
buildings ever conferred on a univer
sity.
•The past week has been an eventful
one. On Tuesday, at the special re
quest of the student body, William
Jennings Bryan spoke to the assembled
students from the steps of the Admin
istration building. He exhorted them
to a life of good citizenship, and to
greater faith in themselves and in the
government. He discussed no political
questions. Wednesday was University
of Washington day at the exposition.
At ten o’clock the men lockstepped
from the main building to the gates of
the fair grounds, forming a line ex
tending from 41st to 45 streets. An
assembly was then held in the big
Auditorium at which President J. E.
Chilberg formally presented the insti
tution with any and all of the exposi-;
tion's buildings that the board of re
gents might wish to retain. In the af
ternoon, a Calithunvpian parade was held
;on the grounds. Later a local talent
vaudeville program was rendered in the
Auditorium. As a part of the show,
the sophomores sent a couple of
Igorotte tots across the stage clad in
freshman caps, and little else. The
freshmen retaliated by exhibiting a don
key wearing a sophomore hat and a
blanket labeled “12." The infant class
then defeated the second year men in
a huge tug-of-war.
At night a shirt-tail parade went
down the Pay Streak. Practically ev
ery concession on the amusement street
was thrown open to the Washingtonians.
The Spanish theatre gave a special per
formance for the collegians. Only at
the Streets of Cairo were the students,
treated discourteously. After half of
the band had passed through the en
trance, the gates were forced shut and
a stream of water turned on the penned
up revellers. The Orientalists in turn
were then pelted with lemons, potatoes
and antique apples. Later the drenched
students routed ‘lie speilers and show
men that were : ttempting to diaw a
crowd, by turning a huge fire hose on
the village from the vantage point of
the Igorotte exhibit. This was the only
act of rowdyism of the day. While this
.celebration was going on, the “parlor
athletes" were enjoying a formal ball
in the Washington State Building.
I'he week ends with a football game
this afternoon, between the varsity and
the Cruiser Milwaukee.
Registration figures to date show an
increase of thirty per cent over the
total matriculation of last year. There
are fewer old students missing this year
than for several college generations. The
freshman class is the largest in the his
tory of the institution, being forty per
cent larger than that of last year, here
tofore the record holder.
Athletic prospects at Washington are
not particularly promising. Of last
year’s football team that won the North
west championship, three giant line
men were lost by graduation. No can
didates have yet turned out that can
satisfactorily till their places. Taken
all through, the candidates are of only
average ability, and if the team is to
make a creditable showing it will have
to depend upon trick plays and the per
formance of a couple of stars.

surveying crew for the O. R. & N. up on
the Deschutes.

formidable strength of the black and red.
feared to take chances against them
with his weakened and poorly organiz
