MEN EXHORTED TO ACT
AS A UNIT FOR
OREGON
Hon.. Sam Friendly, President
Campbell, Coach Warner and
Others Ask for Old Time Spirit
Last night, Oregon’s spellbinder ora
tors were given a. chance to cast their
[ charms over the large bunch of rooters
assembled on Villard hill. As each speak
er was appropriately announced by Yell
Leader Robison the rooters would rise
to their feet with cries of approval that
shook the very halls of Villard.
lion. S. H. Friendly was the first
mail up, and in a characteristic speech
exhorted the football team to play hard
! and the rooters yell loud for the glory
of Oregon. He said: “1 know that the
football team will obey their coach,
trainer, and captain, but will you root
ers obey your yell leader? Your work
is most valuable in aiding the team to
win, but it cannot be done without a
leader or organization.”
President Campbell spoke in behalf
of clean athletics and good scholarship,
lie expressed himself as proud of the
past record of our teams and as pleased
with the prospects for this year. He
hinted that if the spirit displayed at
the iaily was continued we could rot
help but win the Northwest champion
ship.
Dr. Schafer asked the boys to stand
firmly for sportsmanship of the right
kind.
Prof. Glen spoke earnestly in behalf
of the old time “Oregon Spirit,” and
cited as an example of what it could do,
the Idaho game two years ago, in which
ten men tilled to the brim with this
spirit, defeated the Idaho eleven in one
of the most sensational games ever
played.
Prof. Howe delivered the amusing
speech of the evening. His talk abound
ed in witticisms and stories. He con
:luded by saying that for the good of
Oregon, all factions should cease and
:he students and faculty should get to
gether as one body, and work for the
common cause.
Robison at this time called upon
"oacli Warner, whom he said would
issure us that “Oregon will win,” but
he coach only said, “I have had some
isadvantages to work under, but I can
ay that I have never coached a bunch
n‘ fellows who work harder nor a bunch
iho show better spirit than these boys
icre.”
Gordon Moores also refused to say
hat we will win. He spoke of the old
r.en who will be missed this year, and
mphasized the importance of putting
side all factions and acting as a unit,
de closed by saying: “I won’t say that
re will win, but I will say that we’ve
ot to win.”

SIX ON MINING TABLE
Others Will be Added When
They Show Class
The football training table was start
ed Thursday at noon in t.he Boys’ Dorm
itory with but six players at the board.
These men, Taylor, Mains, Lntourette,
Michael, Grout and Kellogg, have shown
up especially well at practice and are
rated first in chances for the team. Hay
ward states that several other men are
doing good work and will be added to
the table as soon as their work justifies
it. He said, “We don’t want to put a
man on the table when he is only slight
ly better than someone else. Just as
soon as men show beyond doubt that
they are better than other men in the
same position the former will be added
to the table.”
Coaches Warner, Hunt and Moores,
and Trainer Hayward also eat at the
table.
Mr. Kurtz Will Help Surveyors
Francis P. Kurtz C. E.. of Cornell, has
been engaged to assist Mr. McClain
with the elementary surveying class.
While the enrollment in the surveying
class is less this year than last, still it
has been found advisable to provide
more individual instruction for the stu
dents. Mr. Kurtz comes well recom
mended, both in theory and practice.
He is resident engineer for the Cottage
Grove water supply system now being
constructed. Because of his training
in physical culture methods at college,
Mr. Kurtz has also been engaged to as
sist Mr. Hayward two hours in the
gym. Mr. Kurtz is a thoroughly prac
tical man, .and no doubt will give the
students many valuable hints.
Eighteen states and eight foreign
countries are represented in the O. A.
C. enrollment, which shows a 24 per
cent increase.

Oregon center when he learned that
Dunn was back. ”-—O. A. C. Barometer.
AFTER OLD GRADS TIRE
THREE TOUCHDOWNS IN
SECOND HALF WIN
VARSITY GAME
After Moores Scores For Alumni
Kay, Michael and Chandler
Convert Passes In o Scores
The stalwart alumni demonstrated the
truth of the athletic maxim, “that a
man cannot come hack,” hv playing a
brilliant game for one half, but finally :
succumbing to Coach Warner’s team.
The game opened with a series of i
brilliant forward passes by both teams,!
though the playing this quarter was
marred by penalties and fumbles.
Neither the Varsity nor Alumni
could advance consistently, and the plays
for the most part alternated in mid
field. The work of both teams was
ragged.
At the beginning of the second quar
ter, Taylor and Walker pulled off a neat
forward pass for 20 yards, and the hard
onslaughts of the younger men kept
the ball almost continually in the old
grads’ territory. On the Alumni 30
yard line Gordon Moores intercepted a
fumble, and by a series of spurts and
dodges, ran 75 yards through the scat
tered Varsity for a touchdown. The
goal was kicked, making it 6 to 0 in fa
vor of the old timers. Soon after the
kick-off, Chandler replaced Latourette,
who was suffering from an injured
head. After working the ball to the
5-yard line, the Varsity loses it and
the Alumni punt to safety.
In the second half the tide turned de
cidedly, and before the final whistle
blew the score was 16 to 6 in favor of
the Varsity. The 16 points accrued
from three touchdowns by Kay, Mi
chael and Chandler. One of the goals
was kicked. Kay, caught a forward
pass from Taylor and ran 40 yards. A
moment later Michael repeated the
stunt for 20 yards. After several min
utes of hard playing Chandler bucked
through the weakening Alumni and
went 10 yards to the goal line.

INTERSCHOLASTIC TRACK
MEET TO BE SECURED
Oregon Is Putting the Proposi
tion to Various High Schools
!s Eugene to secure the annual inter
scholastic track meet, which has cus
tomarily been held at Corvallis? Unless
present plans fail to materialize, this
event will be held here, in the latter part
of May. Corvallis has given up the
meet as a bad financial proposition.
b-very preparatory school in Oregon
has been communicated with. Albany
and Salem have been favorably heard
from.
'fhe enthusiastic support of Air. Geo.
I lug. principal of Eugene ! ligh, has been
enlisted in favor of the plan, and he is
taking it up with a number of friends
prominent in high school circles.
d he intention of the, management is
to present some handsome cups for relay,
team and individual point winners. Sev
eral hundred dollars are also to be spent
for medals.
The advertising value to the Univer
sity Of this event can easily be appre
ciated.
Many Funny Mat and Ring Goes!
—Some Good Ones
I
Intrspersed through the program of
rousing talks at Friday’s rally were a
number of stellar mat and rings acts,
that would have added lustre to any
club program.
Although no decisions were rendered,
and although the rooters’ fthirst for
blood went unsatisfied, several of the
"goes” were fast and clever. Especially
was this true of the welter wrestle and
the lightweight mill.
Sophomores Murphy and Lamm
opened it with a two round bout. Mur
phy’s enthusiastic efforts were mostly
wasted on his opponent's head, as Lamm
adopted an exaggerated crouch. The
“Shinola” kids, Giles and Genus, boxed
till they were “black in the faceand
then came the entre, the retd event of
the evening, the wrestling match be
tween Leigh Huggins and Charlie Ol
son. Both the boys showed class and
were liberally applauded by the now
thoroughly aroused “ring-siders.”
After a breif course of speeches a
lively mill was staged between the fast
and shifty bantams, Dobie and Huston.
The lads both showed considerable
class, and the efforts of both were ap
preciatedby the rooters. The crowd
veiled fake when Barzee and Brosius
came on, and after two rounds they were
dragged out. Crenshaw and Bennett,
both freshmen and both exponents of
Sandow system, rolled around a while
on the mat, but no fatalities resulted.
As a finale, Charlie Robison went
into the crowd, collared six freshmen
and told them to eat pie. Though not
all returns are in, the victims have re
ported no fatalities.
Everyone said it was the best rally
ever held, which is considerable in
dorsement.

FRESHMEN DEFEAT E.H.S.
WITH RAGGED PLAYING
COBB GRABS FUMBLE AND
RUNS 50 YARDS FOR
ONLY SCORE
Freshmen and High School Both
Demonstrate Need of Addition
al Practice In Team Work
In a game abounding with fumbles,
mistaken signals and penalties, the Uni
versity Freshman team played the Eu
gene High School team this afternoon
on Kincaid Field, and beat them by a
score of 6 to 0, due to a sensational
run by Cobb, made on a fumble.
Both teams showed much inexperi
ence in the game, and their exhibition
was for the most part anything but
sensational.
The first half was one scries of fum
bles and penalties, and not at all inter
esting, but in the second half 'both
teams smoked up to some extent. Cobb,
for the Freshmen, with the help of
Bradshaw and Bean, executed several
forward passes. Club and DeBar did
the same for Eugene High.
Cobb's sensational run occurred near
the latter part of the second half. He
picked up a fumble and ran fifty yards
for the only touchdown. Cobb also
kicked goal, making the final score 6
to 0 in favor of the Freshmen.
Fergerson, Bradshaw, Grout, Hall
and Cobb did the best work for the
Freshmen. Jenkins, DeBar and Club
showed up best for the Eugene High.

teams:
