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.

NEUBAUER ASES AID OF GLEE
TO INSPIRE OREGON SPIRIT
Ferdinand J. 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. DUNN WILL
ADDRESS ASSEMBLY
The speaker for the next Assembly
will be Prof. F. S. Dunn of the de
partment of Latin in the University.
The subject to be treated is Virgil’s
Aeneid, with sterioptican illustra
tions. Professor Dunn is an interest
ing speaker, and one of the best auth
orities on the subject of Latin in the
Northwest.

BROWN MEETS
. 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.

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.
