ANNUAL CONTEST RETURNS ONCE MORE TO EUGENE ANCIENT STRUGGLE HAS BECOME OF MINOR IMPORTANCE Large Crowd Will Come Up from Portland to See Gam©— Old Oregon Captain in Lineup The game against the Multnomah Athletic club, Saturday, will he the lirst important event of the present football season for the team of the University of Oregon. It will probably attract a large crowd of rooters from Portland, since this will be the first appearance of the Multnomah team on the Eugene field since 1902, when, under the coaching of Mike Dolph, it succeeded in defeating the Varsity team by a score of 6 to 0. The lineup of the visiting team is es pecially strong this year and the game bids fair to be a close one and full of in teresting features. Coach Forbes of the Oregon i team, when asked his views on the coming • cobtest. shook his head thoughtfully and said, “They'll have some good men, and the only way we can hope to win is by being in better condition. than they.” The fact that the MultiTomah lineup this year includes a number of the men who formerly starred on the Varsity teams, adds much to the probability of a (hard fought game, and a close score. Among the Varsity-trained men who will be lined up with the visitors are, Gordon Moores, Frank Templeton and Jack Latourette, all ex-captains of the Var sity tearm——■ Manager Goodman, although realiz ing the fact that the game is sure to he a hard one, is confident in the ex pression of his belief that the Varsity eleven will win by a safe score, but stated in the men’s assembly this morn ing that he did not believe either team would make more than two touch downs at the most. It is conceded that the winning of the game against Mult nomah will place Oregon in line for the championship this season. I he full lineup of the two teams in the coming grime will be as follows: Oregon. Position. M. A. A. C. Mitchell .C.Carlson Gilles .R. G. L.Pratt Bailey .,,.E. G. R. ... ..McMicken Pinkham ... . R.

Autumn leaves and ferns made attractive decor ations, while jack-o-lanterns furnished the lighting. On the third floor the de parted spirits held full sway. There the guests learned what fate held in store for therri. Delicious refreshments were served in the dining room. Danc ing furnished the amusement for the guests. HAZING SUBSTITUTES WILL BE CONSIDERED I wo replies have come from the col leges to which circular letter were ad dressed asking whether hazing was tol erated and what methods were used to prevent it. The University of Washing ton and the University of California both replied that while there was no special rule against hazing it was gen erally understood that the upper classes are the dominant element in student af fairs. Both have a day early in the year when by a tug of war between Freshmen and Sophomores, or by a general wrestling contest between the classes, enough steam is blown off to relieve the pressure that so often results m hazing. Tho definite replies from the other calleges addressed have not yet been received, it is known that few have set rules ogainst hazing. At many of them a day early in the fall term is set aside for a ' contest between the classes, and after this day the fresh man walks the campus unmolested by his “superiors.” This system has proved very effective in some institu tions where hazing in its more violent forms has long been tolerated. At Columbia, the old and terribly rough cane rush has given place to a 'contest which just as effectively relieves the tension between classes, and is responsi ble for less injuries. The classes line up facing each other above a four-foot embankment. At a given signal the con test begins, each class endeavoring to throw the other classmen down the bank. The class who keeps the last man up wins. Other colleges have wrestling, tying contests, push ball and tug of war contests on their annual days. Several forms of contest have been proposed for the University of Oregon. The one most popular seems to he a tug of war over the mill race. Ob viously the losing class would be dragged thru the race, which it is con sidered would sufficiently relieve the feelings of the Sophomores. The contests are usually quite evenly contested, the superior numbers of the freshmen class being fairly balanced by the sophomore team work. This or some other method of con test for an annual freshman-sophomore rush will be brought up at the next student body meeting. It seems to be the concensus of student opinion that Oregon should follow the example of other schools in this matter, and pro vide a legitimate substitute for the un-' popular methods of hazing. The Entre Nous girls gave a Hal lowe’en party on Saturday night at the home of Miss Maud Beals. A splendid time was reported. Decorations of au tumn leaves, ferns, and the proverbial Hallowe’en cats, hats and witches were everywhere in evidence. Various unique forms of amusement were en joyed. chief among which was the splen did fortune telling by Mrs. Lischen Miller. The girls in the Entre Nous tire Jes sie Calkins, Ellen Frink, Mae Sage, Hazel Humphrey, Eva Frazier, Bertha Cummings. Maud Beals, Ethel Barnard, and Ethel Johnson. The invited guests were: Misses Lawrence, Waite, Black, Abrams, and Murphcy, and Messrs. Shumaker, Neil, Williams, Beals, Fowler, Murphey, Swift. Dal z.ell, Riddell, Rueter, Drew, Rounds, Nicholas, Randall, Calkins and Fernan. LECTURE BY MR. TERRILL TODAY AT ASSEMBLY “THE MAN OF TOMORROW” IS THEME OF PRAC TICAL TALK Students Decide to Build Bleach ers on Kincaid Field to Hold Crowd at O. A. C. Game Air. Terrill, of the local Y. M. C. A., who addressed the student assembly this morning on '"1 he Man of Tomor row,” took up the subject in its practi cal bearing on the preparatory work which the students are doing in the schools of the state, and particularly in the University of Oregon. Conditions today," he declared, “offer for the young men of the rising generation op portunities for usefulness greater than ever before. Material advancement of the human race is more rapid, problems to be solved are larger, and the de mands for men of the best moral fibre are more insistent. Pointing out that the number of those who are able to lake advantage of the privileges of higher education is only a small part of those who are responsible for the existence of these privileges, he drew the lesson that students owe to the world their very best efforts in pre paring themselves for the future work of solving the problems that may con front it. After the close of Mr. Terril’s ad dress, a meeting of the men of the student body was called, for the pur pose of considering plans for building new bleachers to accommodate the crowds that will be in attendance at the more important football games of the season. The announcement was made that Manager Goodman, of the football team, had solicited about $130 among the business men of Eugene, with which to pay for the material re quired to construct the new bleachers. This sum would not, however, cover the cost of the labor, if it were neces sary to hire carpenters to build die structure. • The young men present unanimously passed a resolution agree ing to attend to that part of the work themselves, thus making it possible for the entire sum that has been raised to be applied on the purchase of the neces sary lumber and other material. An effort will be made to get the lumber on the ground in time for the work to be begun next Saturday morn ing. From that time until the work is completed, the students will be engaged on the job every Saturday forenoon. It is thought that this will make it pos sible for them to have the new bleachers completed in time for the big game be tween the University of Oregon and the O. A. C. I he bleachers are to be con structed adjoining the grandstand. 'I he matter of entertainment for the members of the Multnomah Athletic Club’s football team, which will play here Saturday" afternoon, was also brought up and, after discussion, placed in the hands of the executive committee with full power to act. Plans for the entertainment differ, some fav oring a theater party for the visiting team and entertainment in private WILL TRY YELLS IN RALLY FRIDAY NIGHT I lie committee on yells and songs have decided that the only way to judge a yell or song is by the way it sounds. In order to lind out how they are go ing to sound it is necessary for the stu dent to get out and render the selec tions for the committee. • Prof. Glen, chairman of the commit tee, said, "1 can see no use in choosing yells when you have no one to yell." Yell Leader Alton is thoroughly dis gusted with the affair, blit he still has hope that the Multnomah game will arouse a little spirit. 1 here will be a rally Friday evening before the Multnomah game. Professor Leonard will speak at the Dormitory at 7 i). m. At 8:15 the rally will begin. The students headed by an eighteen piece baud, will march down the street to the business section of the city. After a few yells and maneuvers they will march back to Kincaid field, where a good line of speakers has been selected to address the students in the light of the freshman bonliie. SOPHOMORE-FRESH MEN GAME TOMORROW Sophomores and Freshmen will clash in the annual inter-class games tomor row. From the claims and preparations of both sides ‘‘clash" will be the only word to describe the contest. 1912 has profited by last year’s bitter experience and has been out in force for daily practice. Captain "lieppo” Jameson says, "We've got ’em over a barrel.” Altlio they have not been training so regularly the Frosh are confident their galaxy of prep stars can he depended on and Captain Frosh Kuykendall ex pects to defeat the Sophomores by su perior head work and speed. I he contest will occur on Kincaid Feld at 1 ]). m„ i Imrsday. As last year's contest was prolonged till the moon rose, the players are requested to abstain from wrangling and rude talk and allow the speciato'rs to get home for dinner.

The committee will probably de cide upon one of these two plans, al though it has power to make other ar rangements if it sees lit. GLEE CLUB MAY BE SHUT OUT OF HEILIG CIRCUIT HOLD UP METHODS OF THEATRE AGGRAVATE MANAGER GEARY Concert Will Be Given in Villard Hall and Independent Circuit Secured for Southern Trip. Trust methods of doing business, such is threats of blackmail, boycott, and re taliation, have brought on a seriottis clash between the Eugene Theatre and she L'niversity of Oregon Glee Club, it Manager Smith of the theatre is able to make good his threat, the local con cert will he given in Villard Hall, the Shubcrt House will he used in Port land, and various auditoriums, high > bools and armories will he called in to requisition on the trip through South ern Oregon. Though much ill feeling has .always resulted from the poor support Manager Smith gives to the University activities, no serious clash appeared until this an uhen he raised what were already considered outrageous prices for the an nul concert. Last year he made almost it!;) clear profit and a similar amount m the senior play. When it is con id. red 1 hat he gives no advertising to he student publications, and that his argest patronage is from university Undents, such profits seem out of rea lm, and Arthur Geary, manager of the dee Club, has absolutely refused to •onsider any further advance, lie made i definite offer of $100, which Smith •efused to accept. I’ecattse of the poor financial outlook or the club this year, Geary had been tanning all the time to give the local icneert in Villard Hall. Accordingly, le made no arrangement with the then re. Hearing of his intentions, however, smith went to him and threatened to •lose every house in the valley to him f he did not take the Eugene Theatre it his price. Geary refused and the var is on. Ihe two managers definitely closed ill negotiations I his morning. Smith Towed Geary a letter he had already written to John Cort, manager of the Northwest Theatrical Circuit, which iractically shuts the club out of all heir houses. Geary replied that he would use the Chautauqua building in \shland, the high school auditorium n .Medford and the armory in Rose ntrg. “Mr. Smith,” said he, rising to leave, 'I have not resorted to the low methods >f blackmail and boycott you have used, iiit I believe that if i appeal to the Undents, your theatre will have few full houses hereafter.” The student indy is backing the Glee club and a ■ITort will he made to get all friends if the University to withdraw their patron,age from the shows this year. The Gamma Delta Gamma Sorority and a number of their friends were entertained Hallowe’en evening at the Kerr ranch, four miles west of town.
