Chairman Colton states that al though last year’s Frosh were for tunate in securing an old church to burn in their bon fire, this year’s class will nevertheless make a dis play with their fire, not by its vol ume, but by its uniqueness of de sign.

SHOWER FLOOR TREATED TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS University Authorities Removt Paint and Roughen the uement No more accidents are probable on the shower room floor of the Uni versity gymnasium. Thursday, one of the campus force appeared in the shower room with an antediluvian appearing weapon and began ham mering. By Friday afternoon . the cement floor was as full of niches as a sieve is full of holes. It was not so artistic looking a floor as it had been, but, it was safer. Soapy water, running over the painted cement, has kept the sur face in slippery condition since gym nasium classes and outside athletics began this fall. The paint was put on only this summer. University au thorities ordered a remedy applied immediately after the accident of September. The paint W'as applied so the floor could be kept mofe san itary. Games of tag and shoving are not vet possible on the shower room floor without danger, and a rule ex ists against “horse play” there, but the possibility of falls so sudden and severe that the victim has little chance to save himself at all, has been made remote by the two days’ stone-hammering just concluded. . iior mi ENDS IN HE SCORE 0-0 Result of 28 Minutes of Fighting—Held After Ore gon-Idaho Game The much talked of Junifir-Senior football game which was played after the Oregon-Idaho contest last Satur day resulted in a scoreless game aft er 28 minutes of strenuous playing. On account of darkness it was im possible to play off the tie, but there is a possibility that the game may be replayed when both teams have recovered sufficiently from Saturday’s battle. Both teams played star football although the result of too many Fa timas was evident before many min utes of play. The captains of both teams state that strict training rules will be observed before the next struggle. The line up follows: Seniors. Juniors. Benson .LER. DeBar Carl .LTR. Payne Stevenson .LGR.

McClure Beats Out Opponent by Inches in 2:00 3-5. Ex-Track Captain Walter McClure, ’13, winner of the half-mile at the track athletics of the Portola Festi val held in San Francisco, at Golden Gate Park last week, accompanied by Floyd Payne who took third in the two-mile, returned last night from the Bay City. ‘•The half-mile was one of the clos est races I ever ran,” said McClure last night, “and the fact that it took the judges ten minutes to decide which was the winner, Bonnett or I, was a little too close to be comfort ing. 1 did not start sprinting quite soon enough on the *finish as I was ten yards behiftd, consequently 1 beat my man by only a small margin. “The day was very foggy for many of tho races and often one could hardly see across the track. Not having had my track shoes on more than a dozen times since the Walla Walla meet I did not think it would be advisable to enter in more than .one race. “The meet was notable in several ways, one being that about five of the best men in the United States were present competing for honors. “Payne showed up well but was running against too great' odds. He is a comer and will certainly show up better in the future. The two mile was won by H. Wood of Cali fornia, in the time of 9:42. “By some mistake I was registered as running for the Multnomah club. Payne was running for Oregon and 1 should have been.” McClure beat both Bonnett of Stanford and Cuendette of Califor nia, and won his race in the time of 2 3-5. He has previously done the tyalf in 1:59 1-5, but the time at San Francisco is fast considering the weather and the condition of the track. Gale Seaman, coast student secre tary on the international committee of the Y. M. C. A., was here Mon day, meeting with the cabinet and advisory board in special meetings. icROWD WILL BE WELL | ^ CARED FOR AT ALBANY Walker Arranges for Seating at Big Game So no Discomfort Will Ensue i _i_ Graduate-manager Dean.

STATE PRESS ADDS SUPPORT NEWSPAPER SENTIMENT FA VORABLE TO VARSITY MEASURES HIGHER EDUCATION BOOSTED Fnom List of Twenty-Five Pa pers Given by Oregonian, On • ly Two Show Ill-Feeling To ward Appropriation. The following extracts illustrate the prevailing sentiment of newspap ers in the state, concerning the Uni versity appropriations. From a list of about twenty-five papers published in the Oregonian, but two gave un favorable comments. The University appropriation bills are the most important measures to be voted upon at the November elec tion. Their defeat can be reckoned in dollars and cents and such a blow would place Oregon in an undesirable light before the United States.—San tia;n News. The entire appropriation amounts to less than one-fifth of a mill on each dollar of taxable property throughout the state. We cannot af ford to cripple the University in its work for this paltry tax.—Florence West. Wert honest motives behind this attempt to defeat the University ap propriations, they should even then receive a favorable vote.—Cottage Grove Sentinel. If these appropriations are defeat ed, the money would simply be divert ed into other channels and the pol iticians may be trusted to find u use for it—a use that will be far less beneficial than if it had been spent in building up the state’s educational system.—Eugene Register. If the voters of Oregon are going to exercise the functions of the leg islative branch of government, they must be educated, and the better educated they are, the better govern ment we will have under the Oregoip systin. A case in point is this elec tion.—-Canyon City Eagle. The Legislature appropriated $175 000 for a building at the Panama Pacific exposition; the tax was paid without dissent. Of course state pride demands even so small a rec ognition before the eyes of the Na tional public, but shall the small sums appropriated for thle educa tional system which afford a lasting benefit to the state be withheld?— Junction City Times. If the state does not maintain the university, the school goes backward. —Enterprise Record-Chieftian. The State University represents the higher education of the state, and if our young people are to be prepar ed to take up the duties of govern ment and responsibilities of citizens of a great and growing state, our higher institutions should be sup ported.—Grass Valley Journal. Every voter who wants to be loyal to Oregon’s educational system should, on November 4, vote "yes” 300 and 302 on the ballot, for the University appropriations—it will j help to give our youth a chance.— Falls City News. Carl Lundgren, former major lea gue pitcher, will coach the Univer sity of Michigan baseball team this year. BABY PARTY PROVES ' TO BE GREAT SUCCESS Two “Infants” Out for First Prize—Evening Spent in Childish Amusements One of the most enjoyable affairs of the week-end was the “Baby Party" given by the girls of the Y. W. C. A. in the bungalow, Saturday night. In the baby contest, which was a feature of the evening’s entertain ment, the following girls were award ed prizes. Frances DeHue, for prettiest baby, and was given a much coveted teddy bear. Ellen Dominique also cut for the first prize, and was giv en a “hunk” of stick candy, as a consolation prize. Janet Wheatly won the first prize for being the prettiest “little girl," and Ruth Beach, first, as the best nurse-maid. The judges were Mrs. A. R. Sweet ser, Mrs. R. C. Clark, and Mrs. E. E. DeCou. After the baby contest, the evening was spent in playing drop the hand kerchief, farmer in the dell, and oth er games that delight the hearts of children. Suitable refreshments were served. The party broke up rather early as it was deemed advisable for the children not to stay out late, and, in cidentally because there were other college affairs demanding interest.

AND IDAHO TEAMS CONSIDERED OUT OF CON FERENCE RUNNING 0. A. C. BAGKtRS OPTIMISTIC Conference Games Occur Each Week-End Till Season Closes. Stewart Picks Dobie’s Stal warts for Pennant Grabbers. (By Clarence Brotherton) Two undefeated football teama now stand out as the most conspicu ous contenders for the 1913-14 Northwest championship—those rep resenting the University of Washing ton and the University of Oregon. Washington stands with a total score of liiti. and six points only scored against them, in four games. Ore gon has scored 111 to 9 points In three games. Though Washington •State and Idaho have played harder games than either of the more west ern colleges, comparative scores prac tically place them out of the run ning. Idaho defeated W. S. C. and Oregon walked away swlth Idaho's goat 27-0. Oregon’s next big game is with the 0. A. C. team, which went down to a 47 to 0 defeat at Seattle last Sat urday. All Northwest dopesters con cede this game to Oregon, but the O. A. C. students are far from show ing pessimism concerning the out come. They met their team at the train Sunday and conducted them home amidst three hundred rooters; the college band leading the proces sion. As a whet to Oregon’s mettle for the O. A. C. game, the annual Will amette-Oregon game will be pulled off next Saturday in Salem. Little has been heard from Dr. Sweetland’s pro'teges this fall, but in past years they have always played a good stiff game against Oregon. Their two sUining stars of last year, though, McRae and Francis, are this year playing with Multnomah Club In Portland. Oregon students, in general, while they think Oregon has the best teanj ever this year, are far from confi dent of victory at Albany, November X, and are preparing to follow the team there, and back it up In every way possible. The Varsity band will play at the game and special fea tures In rooting are being prepared by Yell King “Dutch” Young. Whitman College, which has only played one game so far with O. A. C., will meet the University of Washington at Seattle next Satur day. ' There will be a conference game each week end from now on until the championship Is decided. Between denunciations of Horr and Dobie of Washington, Dr. E. J. Stewart, at present football coach at O. A. C., has rid himself of the opin ion that the U. of W. is due for an other championship this year; hav ing a shade over Oregon which he considers the next strongest team. .EAGUE MEETS TOMORROW Varsity Women {Manning Still More flection Work. The Women s League meeting to morrow in Dean Straub’s room, Vil la r cl Hall, will be for the purpose of urging the women to make a greater effort in spreading their influence in the coming election.
