A scant hundred rooters appeared
for the llrsf regular practice of the
college year last night, in prepara
tion for the game today with the
Bremerton Navy team, notwithstand
ing the fact, that special announce
ment had been made of the neces
sity of having a big turnout. Not
quite hall the men of the University
wore present to prepare themselves
to back the team In the contests
which will follow in rapid succession
dining the remainder of the season.
A noteworthy fact of the scant at
tendance, however, was that practic
ally all present were upperclassmen
and Sophomores. The freshman
green caps were noticeable chiefly
by their absence.
The new men in the University are
perhaps laboring under the mistaken
idea that they can stay from root
ers’ practice and then, finally ap
pearing on the field en tin* day of
u big game, will In perfect time and
unison by natural instinct. The
sooner they disabuse their minds of
tbia notion, the better it will bo for
themselves and for the University.
Proficiency in rooting as in every
thing else, depends on discipline,
only attainable through good hard
practice.
Out* distinctly new yell has been
already evolved and material
chain.'os in wording and intonation
have been made in some of the older
yells that have always been consid
ered is the particular property of
Oregon. The innovations which
have been introduced will doubtless
make these yells more effective, but
only on the condition that they are
thoroughly known by all the rooters.
The freshman class and any oth
ers who have In-ell negligent in this
matter should see to it at once that
tin* roctevs' turnout is not small j
through tindr fault. The Influence !
of cheering on tin* team is a big fac j
tor for success and one which must
not be overlooked.
