UNIVERSITY OF OREGON VOL. XIII. EUGENE, OREGON, SATURDAY. OCTOBER 28. 1911. No. 10. OREGON WINS SECOND GAME OP SEASON PULLMAN LOSES IN HARD GAME Bl SCORE OF 6-0 TOUCHDOWN MADE BY CAPTAIN MAIN AFTER 75 YARD END RUN NO OREGON MEN HURT IN THE CONTEST Latourette, Nolan and Main Said to Have Been the Stars of the Oregon Team. In one of the fiercest battles in Northwest football annals, decided by a sensational run of seventy yards by Capt. Main, Oregon grabbed the long end of a 6 to 0 encounter with the Washington Agricultural College at Pullman, Friday afternoon. Captain Main’s run will go down as one of the greatest plays in North west history, as his remarkable per formance did not come as a result of fluke, fumble, blocked kick or inter cepted pass, but merely on an old fashioned end run which netted the necessary touchdown to bring victory to the lemon-yellow. The Oregon captain showed his versatility by kicking the goal a moment later. Oregon scored her touchdown in the third quarter and up to that time was given credit of being outplayed by her heavier opponent. The Oregon goal was threatened twice during the game, once in the first quarter, when Noland saved Ore gon by blocking a place kick, and again in the third quarter, when Ore gon held on the twenty yard line and Latourette booted the ball out of danger. The game was devoid of any sen sations in the line of forward passes and trick plays, the defence of both teams breaking up all attempts with discouraging regularity. The greater amount of the play was in midfield, with a punting duel between Latour ette and Coulter, in which the Ore gon quarterback outkicked his op ponent. Coulter, however, kicked high and short, making it impossible for Latourette to run in the kicks. The victory practically eliminates Pullman, and there is little doubt that Washington will trim Idaho and Ore gon will put Whitman out of the way before the big encounter on Nov. 18th. It looks as if the championship of the Northwest will be decided then. How ever, too much confidence cannot be placed in Oregon’s chances in the big game, as Washington has ten men who have won their W.’s in previous year’s fighting on the team. Washington is always danger ous and always will be as long as Gil Dobie directs the interests of the purple and gold. Just what Washing ton has or can do will never be dem onstrated until they line up against Oregon. Man to man they are as strong as Oregon and on the ends, where we fall shy, they have Warren, Grimm, Pete Husby and Wayne Sut ton, all of whom are stellar perform ers on offense and handle the forward pass better than any men in the con ference. The teams line up at Pullman was as follows: Oregon. W. S. C. Fenton.ler.Pynn Hall.lgr. Laird Noland .lgr.!.

Neubauer, ’10, who taught in the La Grande High School last year and converted nine of his students to the Oregon way of think ing, is this year teaching in Oakland. He has five in his graduating class this year, all of whom he thinks he could send to Eugene next year with a lit tle help and is asking that a quartette or double quartette of Glee Club men stop in Oakland and sing a few songs for the students and citizens and in general aid him in inspiring Oregon Spirit. This could easily be arranged for by the management, as Oakland is only fifteen miles north of Roseburg and the men could stop off and give a matinee concert and go on the Rose burg in time for the evening perform ance, either by automobile or rail. IRISH MOBILIZE FORCES Leaders Hold Meeting and Plan to Spring New Sensation On March 17th. The Shamrock Club, which was or ganized' by the Sons of Erin in the Student Body last semester, has been revived and promises to be a factor in college activities this year. A quiet meeting, attended by seven teen of the charter members and first degree initiates, was held in Deady Hall Friday night, but only a small portion of the business transacted by the Celts would be given out for pub lication. Jim O. Roberts, whose forefather’s blood ran green at Bannockburn, was chosen to fill the solemn office of “High Banshee.” “Brick” McMarter was entrusted with the office of “Keeper of the Shillalah.” The principle social activity for the year, as outlined, will be a “First Ward Ball” on Patron’s Saint’s Day, the glorious 17th of March. Plans for the celebration on that date will be taken up at once. If possible, an Irish band will be imported to play the “Wearin’ of the Green,” which will be both waltzed and two-stepped. Any true son of Erin desiring to obtain admittance into the Irish Club may be considered by application and the presentation of the proper credentials. The list of membership of the club will not be given out until a later date. An effort to organize a wom an’s auxiliary may be taken up and considered. PROF.

OBSTACLES IN SOLICITING FUNDS STUDENTS ASKED TO TRADE WITH MERCHANTS WHO SUP PORT ACTIVITIES ROOTER FUND IN GREATEST DANGER M. P. A. Threatens to Fine Merchants Who Help Finance Student Football Rallies. In soliciting funds for Rooters’ ral lies, Yell Leader Brown is experienc ing rather troublesome difficulties. At present the chief obstacle in the way of raising coin for the “smokerless smokers,” seems to be the local Mer chants’ Protective Association, which has refused to allow Brown to ask financial aid from the Eugene trades men. Brown’s wrath has been raised over this antagonistic attitude of the as sociation toward the University, and he has suggested that the students inaugurate a campaign to bring the association to a realization of what the University means to the mer chants. In speaking of the situation, Brown gave vent to the following senti ments: “The Merchants’ Protective Association does not seem to realize the amount of business which the University brings to its doors. A good third of the Eugene merchants j would find their business in a some | what precarious situation if the Uni ! versity were to be removed. The j students ought to rise up and bring ! more forceably to the mind of the ! Association the extent to which the students, the faculty and the Uni versity support the merchants. If I every student would ask a merchant, S once in a while, when purchasing an article, if he supports student activ ] ities and how much he supports them, j tiie merchants themselves would be j supprised at the size of the Univer : sity trade.” A week s extension ot time has been given, in which contributions of new songs or yells may be handed ifi. Any original production of this kind | submitted to the committee in charge, j will give its originator a chance for one of the two prizes which have been provided. As first prize, trans portation and admission to the Wash ington game, will be given, while sec ond choice will receive transportation. As yet only two such contributions have appeared, so that the chance for I any tardy competitors to win is still , good. IF YOUR POST IS BLACK LAUGH—ITS HUMOROUS Did your last “post” have on it the seal of the administration office stamped in red? If not, disregard it, for it w’as not official. In order to i forestall the “posting” of “low | grades” by practical jokers in the fu ture, every official “post” from the office will bear an office seal in red. Jessup Strang is expected back from Salem, Oct. 30. He has been ab sent from college since last Monday, on account of blood poisoning. Ask Obak about the Durham Du plex Razor. JOHNS OBTAINS LOW KATE TO PORTLAND WITH STOPOVER Student manager of football, Jim Johns, has come to final terms with the Southern Pacific Company regard ing- the adjustment of rates for the Eugene excursionists to the big Ore gon-Washington game, November 18th. There will be a rate of $8.75 round trip, going to Portland on the special train, and returning after the game on the same day, or permitting a stopover in Portland Saturday night, and a return on any train Sunday. The regular week-end excursion rate of $5.00 round trip will be altered so as to be good on Friday, returning Monday. Tickets for the big game will be on sale in Eugene for the benefit of the Oregon students. POLIGEFORO.A. G.6IRLS Young Women in (). A. C. Dormitory Elect Policemen to Relieve Dean of Women. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallis, Ore., Oct. 27.—Self government committees after the man ner of the Stanford University girls have been established at Waldo Hall, the girls’ dormitory of the Oregon Agricultural College. A “chairman” and two “directors” have been chosen for the corridor on each of the three floors, the directors to be responsible to the chairmen and they to the dean for the proper conduct of their coi1 ridors. According to the rules of the hall, the girls must have special permis sion to leave the buliding after 6 P. M., or to leave the campus during the day for any purpose other than a short trip to the business section of the city for shopping. They must register at the hall desk before leav ing the campus for any purpose and cancel the registration on their re turn. Special permission must be gained for remaining away from the refectory at meal times, and the dishes, furniture, or equipment of the hall can not be removed from one room to another without permis sion. One very strict ruling, which the new officers will keep an eye to, is that no young woman may go canoe ing without having a written permis sion from her parents or guardian filed first with the dean. The observ ance of the quiet of the study hours, suppression of running, screaming, or other disturbance in the halls, the registration of intended guests for meals or at night, the immediate re port of illness to the dean or her as sistant,—all these matters to be watched by the corridor chairmen for the dean. In this way the dean is relieved of much “police” duty, leav ing her free to devote that time to the more important functions of her office. Ether U’Ren, ex-’13, June Gray and Grace TIobbs, both ’ll, are at tending O. A. C., where they are tak ing the Domestic Science course. They are kept constantly busy de fending the ’varsity in the orange and black camp. Miss Gray and Miss Ilobbs are spending the week end at their homes in Eugene. Professor and Mrs. Straub enter tained the Beth Rhea and A. T. O.’s at their home last Saturday evening. 116 SENIORS FILE SUBJECTS FOR THESES WIDE RANGE OF TOPICS FOUND IN LISTS FROM ALL DEPARTMENTS TWO ARE FROM PHYSICAL DEPARTMENT Seniors Calculated to do Research Work that Will Benefit the State.
