VOL. XIII. EUGENE, OREGON. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1011. No. 8 OREGON WINS FIRST GAME OF SEASON TEAM DOES WELL WITH NUMBER OF 0L0 MEN ABSENT WARNER’S MEN GETAWAY WITH 36 TO 0 VICTORM IN TRIAL GAME FORWARD PASS TO ENDS MAKES GAINS Coach Gives Best of the Candidates Chance to Try Out. Hall Stars at Tackle. With a badly crippled team in the field, Oregon showed signs of “come back’’ qualities yesterday afternoon, when they handed Dud Clarke’s sol diers from Fort Vancouver, a trim ming-, to the tune of 36 to 0. While the game was devoid of any sensa tions, it showed that Oregon still has a chance at the conference champion ship. The forward pass was used to better advantage than against the i Eugene High School last Tuesday and j two of Oregon’s touchdowns came as i a result of passes to Fenton and Brad-! shaw. .The first quarter was a see-saw contest in midfield, ending with the Varsity on the Soldier’s 30 yard line. At the beginning of the second quar ter Oregon got her scoring machine unlimbered and pushed Heusner over the line. Cobb kicked the goal. On the kickoff following, Kellogg booted the pigskin over the line, and while the soldiers were thinking it over, Jones recovered the ball, annexing five more points. Cobb kicked the goal. Near the close of the half, Heusner made his second touchdown. Walker kicked out to Cobb, who again made the extra point. The soldiers lost their only chance to score this quarter when Jackson attempted a place kick ] from the thirty yard line. Oregon punted out of danger from the twen-1 ty-five line. In the third quarter Bean i and Fenton each secured a touchdown.! Walker kicked both goals, bringing I the score up to 30 to 0. In the fourth | quarter Bradshaw got away with a ! forward pass and scored. Cobb kicked the goal. In the Oregon line Hall played a smashing game, repeatedly tearing up the soldier’s “phalanx” and nailing the man with the ball. Fenton, the big Oregon end, handled the forward pass in sensational style. The teams lined up as follows: Oregon. Vancouver. Caufield, Kellog....c.De Voe Grout.

MEETING Judge J. F. Rutherford has been se curred to address a special assembly of the students of the University in Villard Hall, at 4 o’clock, on Novem ber 3. He will also be the speaker at the Y. M. C. A. meeting, at 7 o’clock, in the Women’s Gym the same even ing. The subject of his evening lec ture will be “The Bible and its Science From a Lawyer’s View point.” He will treat this subject from a non-sectarian point of view. For economic students who are tak ing “Pre-law” courses, Judge Ruther ford’s lectures will be of unusual value, as he is a lawyer of wide ex perience and renown. He is noted for the pointed logic of his lectures and for the interest which bis wide trav els and experience enable him to give them. Judge Rutherford is in great demand as a speaker among the lead ing educational institutions of the United States. GLOB DIRECTOR PLEASED Ogden Announces Best Assortment of Material Recorded During Past Five Years. “The Glee Club has a larger reper toire than any club has had for five or six years,” was the manner in which Director Ogden summed up the situa tion yesterday afternoon and announc ed definitely the stunts and features that will be used this year. Besides the Robinson-Collins take off on Mr. Crane, the anti-higher edu cation-man, Harry Ding, will feature a Chinese song ana costume stunt. Kenneth Frazier will appear as a so loist, while Powell, Vawter and Ogden are working up a trio. These, with the probable addition of one or two J other stunts, together with the en- | semble songs, will comprise the club’s program for the coming season. In addition to the cities already i booked tor the southern trip, which will be soon after the Thanksgiving ■ holidays, Klamath Falls will be in cluded on the itinerary, the club hav-! ing received a good offer from that town. Although the club will probably make the Eastern Oregon trip for the advertising value alone, the towns in that section of the state seem to ex hibit distinct anti-University senti ment in their demands for an exhor bitant percentage rate. SOPH “SCARE HEAD” POSTER ATTRACTS FAVORABLE NOTE With pad and pencil in hand, a ra ther severe looking lady stood in front of the telephone pole at the corner of 13th street and University Ave., in dustriously copying the “Frosh Be ware” notice pasted there. A rumor floated over the campus that “Gun hilda Skin Bones,” she of the caustic tongue and cheap wit, was gathering data for a lecture before the Society for the “Prevention of Cruelty to Freshmen.” Timid sophs trembled and began to quail before the antici pated journalistic hurricane. By this time the poster was copied verbatim and the copyist with prim and busi nesslike steps betook herself down the street toward the police station. Not a sophomore was to be seen, all were huddled up under the grandstand be hind the friendly protection of the 1915 yet labled ‘Fresh Paint/ .Then someone came out with the announce ment that it was only one of our fel low townsmen who was struck by the clever combination of phraseology.

As a result of the victory, more than half the men of the Washington State College team are badly crip pled. and will probably be out of the game for some time. The Idaho team, on the other hand, went through the game without injury. Both teams played straight football most of the time, although several un successful attempts were made to exe cute the forward pass. The Washing ton State eleven will line up against the Oregon team next Saturday at Pullman, and with a crippled team the northerners may be somewhat handi capped.

SOPHOMORES WIN CELEBRATION BY A LARGE SCORE PUSHBALL CONTEST PROVES THE MOST INTERESTING FEATi RE OF THE DAY FRESHMEN DRAGGED THROUGH POND Larne Crowd Assembled, Which En joyed Every Moment of the Exercises. (By Fen Waite.) Inaugurating- the greatest custom ever installed at the University of Oiogon, the Sophomores defeated the !':<vhinen in the Underclass Contest this afternoon by the overwhelming score of ltd to IS. A big- crowd of the members and supporters of the underclasses turned out to see the seven interesting and hard fought events. An efficient corps of “cops” from the senior class, headed by Chief Jamison, pre served perfect order on the field, and the spirit and sportmanship shown by all corcerned was beyond (law or criticism. 1 he sophomores and Freshmen especially deserve the highest commendation for the man ner in which they conducted them selves, thereby insuring the adoption of the underclass “mix” as a perma nent tradition at Oregon. All spectators at the events were unanimous in their decision that the contest as pulled off today, far sur passes any hazing as a means of working off the rivalry between the first and second year men. The push ball contest, in which thirty-five men on each side took part, was the feature of the contests. The im mense sphere was placed in the cen ter of the field and at a given signal the participants leaped to the fray with do or die intent. For true strenuosity the resulting “mix” would put to shame the football games in the palmiest days of Ore gon 0. A. 0. rivalry. The game was played in two halves of fifteen and ten minutes duration each. The event of next greatest interest was the tug o’ war contest, in which the Sophs dragged the luckless Freshies through the “landscape lake on the campus. The events in their order and the winners were: y’he grand parade and yell contest, with sixty sophomores stripped for action and eighty fresh men with red and white megaphones resulted; for best yells and most original stunts the sophs took twen ty points and for best decorating and display the freshmen annexed ten. The second event, the hundred yard dash, was won by Boylen, ’16, Kimball, ’14, and Rader, T5, first, sec ond and third, with 15, 10, and 5 points respectively. The third event, the sack race, was won by Dickson, ’15, first, and Ski, ’14, second, with five points for first and three for second. The fourth event, the relay race, was won by the freshmen team of eight men—Boylen, Hawley, Dudley, Pack, Hill, Rader, Morton, and Finch, with a count of ten points for first. The three-legged race, the fifth event, was won by Rice and fourth event, was won by Rice and Brooks. ’14, first, and Anderson and Continued on fourth page.
