Two hundred University students formed a line at the Dormitory at 5:45 this evening, and “Bearcat Ser pentined” down town to give Eugene’s visitors an Oregon send-off. That a student body rally on this occasion was appreciated, was the sentiment expressed by President J. H. Young, of the Oregon Electric, when he was called on by the stu dents, just proceeding the departure of the special train for Portland. President Young Speaks. 1 President Young said, “I’m not an orator, gentlemen, l*m a railroad man, so all I hope to tell you today, is that , on behalf of my company, we thank you. The incoming of our road is a great thing, both to Eugene and to the students of the University in par ticular. We have your interests at heart and hope for a greater and bet ■ ter University of Oregon.” Students Aid Demonstration. The Oregon students, under the di * rection of Yell Leader Abe Blackman, reached the corner of Eleventh and Willamette streets at 6:15 o’clock sharp, where they stopped and gave ■ their yells. This was repeated at , each intersecting street, till the Ore gon Electric depot was reached. Among the officials of the new road in Eugene today were: < J. H. Young, president; C A. Cool idge, general manager, W. E. Coeman, general freight and passenger agent, < L. B. Wickersham, chief engineer, A. , C. Adams, superintendent of motive power, F. A. Bushnell, general pur 1 chasing agent, W. C. Wilkes, assist * ant general freight and passenger agent, J. O. Johnson, general road master. < Director Bowman Plans Operetta for Girl’s Glee. * The Girl’s Glee Club, better known , as the Choral Club, is to have its ini 1 tial tryouts for membership tonight, at 7 o’clock, in Villard Hall. Old as ' well as new members are required to 5 try out. Professor Bowman, the director of « the Glee Club, is to supervise the work of the Choral Club as well. He » Ms sent east for a number of operet tas and intends to stage one either before or after the Christmas holi - days. President Flo Cleveland an onunces that practice on the operetta * will commence next week. Laurean Membership Is 27. With the election of eight new , members last week, the membership of the Laurean Literary Society now * numbers 27 members. As the mem bership is limited to thirty-six, Sec retary Hardesty suggests that “elig . ibles” should come early, for new ap plications are being received every * day. The plan of meeting Tuesday even * ings, from 7 to 8, instead of Saturday evenings, at that time, meets with favor. It has resulted in an increased * membership. HAYWARD WILL LECTURE ABOUT TRIP NOVEMBER 8 Views showing sports aboard the ! “Finland” on its trip from New York j to Stockholm, events of the Olymic games, and the return of the Ameri J can athletes, will be part of “Bill” Hayward’s lecture in Villard Hall on November 8. Hayward has some two hundred pictures taken during his trip to Sweden, illustrating the form and showing the races of the contest ants at Stockholm. “I have the ‘dope,’ and can tell the story concern ing each of the pictures,” says Hay ward. “What I will say, will interest not only athletes, but everybody ac quainted with sport.” An admission of twenty-five cents will be charged, the proceeds going into the Student Body fund. ooooooooooooo o o o TICKETS CONTINUE TO SELL o o o o Two hundred and fifty season o o tickets have been sold. Fifty o o more have been reserved for o o students who have spoken for o o them. After this week the o o price will be $2, on account of o o the Willamette game, which o o will deduct the extra fifty cents o o from the price. Manager Geary o o announces that a vigorous cam- o o paign will be waged this week o o and next to sell the required o o number. o o o ooooooooooooo GLASS TEAMS ORGANIZE Every afternoon, from four to five, and on Saturday from nine to twelve, the Women’s Gymnasium will be given over to basket ball practice. The reg ular class teams will be chosen just before the first game of the series, which is scheduled to take place on December 12, between the Freshmen and the Sophomores of the Univer sity. The teams this year will be se lected by a committee composed of the captains of each team, the coaches, and one outsider. The cap tains of the class teams are as fol lows: Senior, Eva Roche; Junior, Ha zel Rader; Sophomore, Vera Moffat; Freshmen, Gladys Grayhill. In addition to the class games ar ranged for, there will be an inter sorority series, in which all the soror ities except Mu Phi Epsilon and Chi Omega, will enter for the champion ship. The first inter-sorority game will be played November 8, between the Beth Reah and Gamma Delta Gamma teams. The series will proceed by elimination, the same as last year, the Hayward cup going to the win ning team. The best players of the sorority club teams will be picked by the bas ket ball committee, consisting of Dr. Stuart, Miss Thompson, the captain of each class team, and three other wo men not yet chosen from the class teams. ! The Freshmen have elected Charlie Fenton as sub captain, while Edna Harvey was chosen by the Sopho mores for that position. Mrs. Hamilton, of Roseburg, wife of Judge Hamilton, regent of the Uni versity, Mrs. Ella Fisher, of Eugene, Miss Helen Hamilton, and Miss Edith Clements, were entertained at dinner Sunday by the Zeta Phi fraternity, o o Charles R. Oleson, 'It, is with the Oleson Lumber Co. at Boring, Ore gon. o o Herbert George, ’16, will spend next week-end in Portland. HOPE OF FANS RESTS ON PRIME PHYSICAL CONDITION OF TEAM WILLAMETTE TRYOUT SHOWS EFFICIENCY OF TRAINING ONLY TWO MEN BARRED FROM GAME With exception of Huesner and Hall, Squad Is Ready for Whitman. With the first game played and won, Oregon is preparing to open her conference schedule with Whit man College next Saturday in Walla Walla. The fact that there are only two cripples in the squad, backs up Trainer Hayward’s promises to have every man on the team in the best possible condition for Saturday’s struggle. Condition is Evidence Saturday. The superior condition of Oregon’s men was shown Saturday in the in stance that but one member of the team was injured and he slightly, and not once was the whistle blown for a wearer of the lemon-yellow to get his wind or recover from fatigue, al though several times the game was delayed for the benefit of one of Coach Sweetland’s men. Reports from “Hayward Hospital” indicate that Bill Heusner is recover ing from his sprained knee and will soon return to defend his half back position from competitors. Elmer Hall’s injury is not reported serious but the fear of another injury will keep the big tackle from the game for sometime. Whether these two men will make the trip to the Washington city is a matter of conjecture. Ailing Men Recover. The men who suffered slight in juries in early season practice, will be in good condition for Saturday’s game. With the exception of Hall, Oregon’s line men, Caufield, Grout, Fenton, Fariss, Holden, and Bailey, will be in perfect condition. The ends, Bradshaw, Annunsen, and Jones, will be speedier in their next appear ance because hereafter the training will not be so severe. Cook, Cornell, and Briedwell are at their best. Cap tain Walker, and Parsons, who have been ill this fall are rapidly rounding into shape and will soon be back in old time form. SHALL STUDENT BODY ELECT YELL LEADER? The Laurean Literary Society will debate upon a question of interest to students at its meeting tonight. The question is, “Resolved, That the Uni versity yell leader should be elected by the Student Body.” This is a question, which has not been brought up for debate before, but is one that has been widely discussed. The af firmative will be supported by H. Young and Dal King, and the nega tive by M. Terpening and H. Zim merman. Ih addition to the debate there will be an address by Carleton E. Spen cer. Among the Kappa Sigma alumni, who were here last week-end for the Kappa Sigma initiation, were: Ralph Moores, ’12, Chester Moores, ’12, Earl Cobb, ex-’13, Nat Kimball, ex-*14, Frank Staiger, ex-'16, Cecil Cole, ex ’14, Platt Hoeman of the University of Washington, “Dutch” Koemer, of Stanford, Gordon Moores, Edgar Smith, “Pete” Whittlesy.

This was decided at a meet ing of those interested in this work, held last Thursday night. Bert Jer ard, as student leader, is now looking for a director, that regular practice may begin immediately. He says, “The prospects are bright for a good band. There were fifteen present at the meeting on Thursday, and a good many more that play instruments were not present. I think, we will be able to get together a band of twen ty-five pieces.” Along with the men who played in the band last year, a number of Freshmen with experience in band work have appeared. Practice for the present will be held each Wednesday night, beginning this week. NEW SYSTEM ADOPTED Hereafter the Dramatic Club mem bership will be limited to twenty stu dents, and all aspirants for thespian honors must use the same material and stunts in their tryouts. Other changes in the club’s constitution, last Thursday evening, were adopted at the meeting of the organization. This policy, which is patterned af ter the noted Yale Dramatic Club, will tend to make the club’s member ship more exclusive. A list of the required subjects and other details of the tryout are posted on the Library bulletin. President Warner is desirous that all those who intend to tryout, should acquaint themselves with the conditions of competition at once. Women's Tennis Club Holds Tryouts. The tryouts for the Women’s Ten nis Club were begun today, and will continue through Wednesday, when the names of successful candidates will be announced. POSTPONED GOV. WEST PROGRAM LISTED FDR WEDNESDAY ASSEMBLY THE GLEE CLUB IS ENGAGED TO GIVE INTRODUCTORY SELECTIONS SLATER WILL BE THE FIRST SPEAKER Expectations of State Theme of the Governor’s Address—Oregon Pledge to be Given. The extensive program arranged for the entertainment of Governor West, which was originally planned for last Wednesday, will be held to morrow at the regular assembly hour in \ illard Hall, when Governor West and Judge Slater will address the as sembled Student Body. Slater Speaks for the Alumni. The program at present is as fol lows: The Glee Club will open the exer cises with several selections and well known college songs. Professor Young will then introduce Judge Sla ter, who will deliver an address on, “ the Alumni of Oregon, and Their Attitude Toward the State.” In other words, he will try to express the sense of obligation which every grad uate of this institution feels that he owes the state for his liberal educa tion. Following Mr. Slater, President Campbell will deliver a short address, introducing Governor West to the stu dents. West Will Elaborate Pledge. Governor West, whose topic is, “The State and It’s Expectations,” will then try to show clearly just what the state is doing, just what it desires, and just what the students owe to it. At the end of his address, he will read the pledge. When the reading has been com pleted, all students willing to sub scribe to it, will stand by classes and verbally give their assent. The as sembly will then adjourn to the cam pus east of Villard, where a group picture will be taken of the entire Student Body, with Governor West in the centre. The Oregon Pledge. The pledge reads as follows: As a student at this University, that is maintained by the people of Oregon, I heartily acknowledge the obligation I shall owe to them. The opportunities open to me here for se curing training, ideals, and vision for life I deeply appreciate and regard as a sacred trust and do hereby pledge my honor that it shall be my most deeply cherished purpose to render as bountiful a return to the Oregon peo ple and their posterity in faithful and ardent devotion to the common good, as will be in my power. It shall be the aim of my life to labor for the highest good and glory of an ever greater commonwealth. ANTI-DRINK RULE WILL BE ENFORCED A notice was recently posted on the Villard bulletin board to the ef fect that any student of the Univer sity entering any saloon or drinking emporium will be expelled from col lege. Rumors of the enforcement of this ordinance, drawn up a month ago, have been rife upon the campus of late, but nothing positive was done until the notice appeared. This reg ulation has long been held under ad visement by the faculty, who Anally decided that it should be put into force at once.
