UNIVERSITY OF OREGON YOL. XIII. EUGENE, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1911. No. 15 °R£™^ ST 1)06*1? Io«^° °*ME 1 WILL BE DESERTED EVERY STUDENT GOING TO PORTLAND WHO CAN BEG, BORROW OR STEAL BROWN PREDICTS LARGE ROOTER SECTION Faculty Members Catch Spirit of Students and Will Attend the Contest. “What is yon barren and deserted spot on the landscape? That, Gwend olyn is the University of Oregon cam pus and the immediate vicinity there of on the day of the great Oregon Washington game.” “Who is that single, solitary human figure moving forlornly along the once populous ‘hello walk?’” “That is the lone student, who did not journey to Portland to see the aforementioned game.” Such might well be the comments on November 18th, to judge from the enthusiasm evinced on the eve of the all-absorbing struggle. Everyone in any way connected with the Univer sity, from “Prexy” Campbell down to the humblest member of the Japanese pan-Hellenic union, who can beg, bor row, or steal the necessary $3.75, will be numbered among the ten thousand spectators, who at a conservative estimate, will throng Multnomah field next Saturday. The crowd which will go from Eu gene is variously estimated at from fifteen hundred to two thousand. It will consist of business men, towns people, old grads, and near-grads, and a very great majority of the student body and faculty. Among the latter President Campbell will be a conspicuous figure at the game, and on the side-lines will be Dr. Conklin, who is an ardent football fan and student of the game. Dr. Leonard, who would chalk up Oregon’s score were the game to be played in Eu gene, Prof. Dearborn, Prof. Dunn, Prof. Straub, Prof. Stewart, and others. A canvas of the nine fraternities and clubs shows that out of the entire number perhaps not more than a dozen men will be left behind. In several instances all the members will attend, and the houses will be entirely deserted. The Dormitory will re semble the front row of a theatre at a Shakespeare production. While no figures concerning outside students can be obtained, a similar ratio will no doubt hold throughout the male portion of the student body. While the women will attend the game in large numbers, there will naturally be a greater percentage of co-eds who will remain behind. “Busher” Brown, the Sousa of the bleachers, says he will outnumber Washington rooters. This includes the Portland “prepers,” who will re inforce Oregon’s delegation. Maud Kenworthy, a former Uni versity student, who has just returned from a trip around the world, is visit ing at the Beth Reah House. Sy Stevens, ex-’12, is taking a course in forestry at the University of Washington. Ray Murphy, ex-’13, is teaching school at Haines, Washington.

The Varsity band director today an nounced the names of the men who “made” the Student’s Band, which will be taken to Portland Saturday. Cornets—Thos. Hudson, Geo.

Basses—John Abbott, Frank Gil strap. Drums—Ira Staggs, Bertie Ruth. The final rehearsal will be held to night. Because of the short time in which to drill, the repertoire of the band is limited to eight pieces. How ever, these eight have been thoroughly learned. The result is, “We have an efficient band and one that will be a credit to the ’Varsity,” say the band men. The members will wear the old rooter caps instead of the newer tur bans; yellow and green sashes will drape their shoulders.

CADETS PROMISED Freshmen Will Build Largest Bonfire Ever Fired on Kincaid Field There will be a monster rally pull ed off by the Varsity rooters Thurs day night as a final demonstration before leaving on the “Oregon Spe cial” for the championship contest in Portland, Saturday. The purpose of the rally will be to key the simmering enthusiasm of the most backward rooter to the white heat of “demoniacal” frenzy. The rally will take the form of a torch light parade starting from the Dorm, and extending through the streets of Eugene and back to Kincaid Field, where the hard working cohorts of the 1915 class promise a conflagra tion that will put to shame the most melodramatic depiction of Nero’s Roman holocaust. Every rooter in the parade is ex pected to appear in some striking cos tume, loaded with cow bells or any conceivable noise making device. There will be a company of Washing ton cadets with fixed bayonets, led by Lord Emanuel Roberts. Burns Pow ell’s “Rah Rah” band will scatter tunes all along the line of march. A number of juniors promise to put on a stunt procured at great cost and warranted never to appear again. In the lurid light of the “Frosh” bonfire, aided by the Sigma Chi spot light, the orators of the occasion will plead, with voices choked with emo tion, for men to stand by Old Oregon; or admonish with ringing words, that strike home like the thrust of a stil eto. The speakers will be President Campbell, Regent Friendly, Trainer Hayward, Dr. Leonard, Captain Main, Gordon Moores, Lu Pinkham, and Beauty Robison, who will come up from Portland especially to at tend the student rally. The parade will form on the campus at 7:15. All rooters are asked to be on hand. EUTAXIANS HOLD MEETING IN PROF.

RAY WRITES ON “GAN OLD OREGON WIN” Says that Oregon Must and Will Win If All I)o their Fart to Help the Team. (Special to Emerad.) Washington is a larger institution than Oregon, but her strength in student activities is no greater. Last year Oregon won from Washington in track, and in the three forensic con tests. Yet just yesterday, a grad uate of an Eastern college said to me in a tone of voice that signified that he expected a negative answer: “Does Oregon ever win from Wash ington?” This was but an expression of an idea which is being formed by the general public to the effect that Wash ington is in a class above us. This is an illusion that must be corrected. Can our football team do it next Saturday? No, they can not alone— but, if they are given the proper sup port by the student body, they can. For the spirit and attitude of the students determines what will be the spirit of the team, and the efficiency of the work of the team depends in a large measure upon the spirit in which the men enter the contest. If you were a member of that team, if you had trained long and faithfully to win that game, would you, when the game is called, feel greater strength, and possess a stronger de termination to win, if you knew that every Oregon student was watching and supporting you, than you would, if you knew there were only a few? Let every Oregon man and woman answer this question for his or her self, and as you answer it, remember that Oregon can, and Oregon must win from Washington, and that you have your part to play. —Leon Ray.

The special is due to arrive at Portland’s Union Depot at 11 o’clock. Autos will be on hand for the various members of the faculty and Varsity band, with these lead ing the rooters will fall in line and march up town to the Imperial hotel. | The Imperial will be Oregon’s head quarters, as the management has turned its hostelery over to the Ore gon contingent on that day. From here the bunch will disperse and meet again at 1:15 P. M., at 1:20 P. M. the parade will start for Multnomah field, autos carrying the governors of Ore gon and Washington and the mayors of Portland, Seattle and Eugene will lead, with the rooters following in j single file. The line of march will | proceed down Washington street to Third, up Third to Morrison, and out Morrison to the field. On the way, Oregon’s rooters will be joined by contingents from the various- High Schools and Academy of Portland. A section of the bleachers has been reserved in the center of which will be a marked block “O.” Those sit ting of the “0” will be provided with yellow capes and caps. These will be put on under the shower of confetti and serpentines prepared to greet the team on its appearance. The usual serpentining on the field will take place and a confetti “0” formed, in the center of which the Varsity Glee Club will collect and sing a few of Oregon’s rousing songs. At the close of the game every loyal Oregon student will escort and carry the team back to the Multno mah Club. “There,” “Bush” Brown says, “ we will yell for the team, win or lose and we are not going to 1 lose.” The excursion tickets are good on any train coming back up to Monday night.
