“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.

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.
Extra copies of this issue may be
obtained at the downtown bookstores,
or at the book exchange. Price, 5c
per copy.

MONSTER RALLY WILL
STIR LAZY ROOTERS
TOMORROW EVENING
ALL MEN REQUESTED TO AS
SEMBLE AT MEN’S DORM AT
7:15 P. M.
TRAVESTY ON U. W. 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. SHAFER’S ROOM
The Eutaxians held their weekly
meeting last night in Professor Sha
fer’s room. The program was as fol
lows:
Current events—Eleanor McClain.
Social problems—Birdie Wise and
Lena Newton.
Recitation—Margaret Egan.
Parliamentary drill—President.
Impromptu speeches were given by
1 several of the members on topics of
; current interest.

PRES. 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.

A special train, decorated in Ore
gon’s colors, will leave Eugene Sat
urday morning at 7 A M., bound for
the great Oregon-Washington game
at Portland. 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

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,

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.
