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.

I he Klosche Tillacum girls enter
tained about thirty of their friends Sat
urday evening. The occasion was their
annual Hallowe'en party. 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

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

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.

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.
