SECOND TEAM PLAYS FRIDAY OREGON LINE IS GOOD BUT CLOSE GAME EXPECTED WITH AGGIES REGULARS BATTLE NE1H0DISIS Willamette Loses Strong Play ers But Sweetland Is Feared. Bezdek Says He Will Be Con tent With Mere Victory. (By Raeman T. Fleming) The O. A. C. second team is'com ♦ ing over here tomorrow to take the University second team into camp if possible. They have some good men over there who are ineligible to play on the first team owing to the four year rule who will be able to play on the second team. Blackwell, the ex-Willamette star, will probably be on hand to give an account of him self. The men are all in good shape. They handle themselves like vete rans and although they have not had as much practice in the use of the for ward pass as the first team has, they get away with one every now and then just to keep their hand in. • In the punting department Carson Bigbee has been acquitting hynself well and he may be counted on to kick far enough t'o keep the O. A. C. second team away from the goal line He is also drop kicking with a de gree of accuracy. The second team line is strong, and there are a number of men in it who have had experience sufficient to acquaint them with the finer points of the game. A good game and a close score is expected. The lineup will probably be as fol lows: Ensley, center; Brown and Cossman, guards; Easterwood and Dudley, tackles; Garrett, and Hen dricks, ends; Bigbee, quarter; Tuerck and McCornack, halves; and Spellman, fullback. Besides these men there will be a galaxy of stars reposing on the side lines waiting to go into vacancies in any positions which may present themselves. Saturday the first team goes to Willamette to battle with Dr. Sweetland’s proteges. The cry has gone forth that Willamette has a weaker team than they have had for years, but it will be remembered that Coach Sweetland has a happy fac ulty of making a good team out of almost any material which presents itself to him. A number of Willamette’s last year’s -men are out of the game this year. Such players as McRae, Fran cis and Rowland have left and their absence is bound to be felt more or less. The team at Willamette is said in Salem to be not as strong as it has been in years past, but at that they have an aggregation to be feared. They beat the Pacific University 63 to 6 and a team that can run up such a score is to be watched all of the time or they might pull off a few trick plays and turn the tide of de feat to victory in a short time. Coach Bezdek looks forward to a close game. He does not figure that there will be a difference of more than ten points in the score. "I have not; decided as yet what men will be in the first lineup,” said the coach, tonight, “but I will take the whole of the first and second teams and their substitutes. I look for a close score and I will be satis fied to win.” Arrangemetns for a band concert to be given at the Eugene theatre are being made by President Mau rice Hyde. Rehearsals are being held tw-o times a week with the aim of securing a first class showing. HENDRICKS NOT ENDOWED WITH TANGLEY GIFTS Wants Advance Dope on 0. A. C.-Oregon Football Contest (By Lee Hendricks) Ye oracles and prophets, ye sages and wise mokes, who lamp the stars and dope the future for us common folks! Please cast your glims tow ard heaven and inform me what you find concerning that great question which is foremost in my mind. Don’t try to solve the riddles of the Uni verse just now; we’ll leave that lit tle duty to some spectacled high brow. Don’t try to figure out when this old world wTill cease to be, or the origin of matter, for it matters not to me. Go easy on the question if the naughty human race is on the skids and headed for a certain sultry place, because of tangos, cabarets and skirts that split in twain; to ponder on such matters voulcl drive Solo mon insane. Don’t beef about the tariff, or the sins of Standard Oil, and don't try to put liquor down, leave that to Charley Koyle. Side step that Women’s suffrage stuff, and let them suffer on. Justness the silent pedal on those / various kinds of con, but for the love of Michael, hand an inside tip to me, on that all absorbing question, will we wallop O. A. C.? PROF. ALUN TEACHES CLASS AT CORVALLIS Will Give Weekly Lectures to Students Interested in Journalism Eric W. Allen, professor of Journ alish in the University of Oregon, will make a trip every Thursday to Cor vallis to lecture to O. A. C. students interested in journalism, particularly those on the Barometer staff. This is in accordance w^th a previous conversation with Ralph Hetzel, head of the O. A. C. extension department who has now written an invitation from President Kerr an^ the inter ested students, to Mr. Allen and ex pressing the enthusiasm of the stu dents over the plan. Mrr. Allen left today to give his first lecture to the Barometer staff. In connection with this exchange ol instructors and lectures, President Kerr of O. A. C. said, “I would be delighted to have as many of the University faculty come over for lec tures or to visit the institution as can possibly arrange to do so.” The next exchange of lectures will probably be between Dr. J. H. Gil bert, assistant professor of Econ omics in the University of Oregon, and Dr. Hector McPherson, of the economics department of O. A. C., who recently returned from Europe where he went to study agricultural conditions. “It may be desirable to start in a small way,” writes Mr. Hetzel ‘‘and I am certain that a large meet ing of the faculty members of the two institutions would result in greatly advancing the movement for better understanding and amicable relations.” STUDENTS TO GET RETURNS Members of Journalism Class to Help Register in Coming Election. The members of the third year journalism class will take charge of the election returns for the Morning Register next Tuesday. Special slips for recording the re sults have been prepared for the student reporters, so that the re turns will be accurate and easily ob tained. This is the second year that the members of the Journalism classes have been granted the privi lege of securing election returns. GERMANS TO AID VARSITY THREE NEWSPAPERS AND THOUSANDS OF CIRCU LARS BOOST DELEGATES VISITED CAMPUS Visitors, When Interviewed, De clared Appropriation Badly Needed and Will Help Out in Coming Election. Three German newspapers of the state have published numerous ar ticles and editorials in favor of the appropriation. Thousands of Ger man circulars as .well as hundreds of letters addressed to individuals and to the numerous officials of the German societies have been dis tributed all over the state. There are thirty-two German speaking societies in the state and, in a recent meeting of last week they passed unanimously resolutions in favor of the University. According to an estimate published some time ago in the Oregonian there are about seventy thousand German speaking people in the state of Oregon. The Germans of the state took a special interest in the University of Oregon when its very existence was threat ened some years ago. Moreover the Germans of this state realize fully that there is no other institution that favors the study of the German lan guage more than the University of Oregon. Prominent Germans Interested. Last Sunday a number of promi nent Germans among them Mr. Winter, the editor and manager of the Nachrichten, Mr. Bergman, shoe manufacturer, and Mr. Enke, ex president of the German societies of Oregon, and others were shown through the buildings on the campus by Dr. chmidt, who says they were inspected with German thoroughness. They went away fully convinced that the University is sadly in need of the money appropriated by the state leg islature. In fact all the visitors thought that the $175,000 was en tirely inadequate to meet all the de mands of the University. One of them even said that the insane and prisoners at Salem had better accom modations and better rooms and halls than the students of the yniversity. The idea was expressed that if the state of Oregon can spend nearly $200,000 for a temporary exposition, building at San Francisco it certainly ought to be thoroughly ashamed if ' it cannot afford at least this much for a permanent University building in which the youth of Oregon, the future citizens of the state, are edu cated. lioyai to university. Dr. Schmidt says that there is no doubt but that there the Germans are loyal to the University and'will vote in favor of the appropriation. He further states and knows from per sonal interviews with the editors of the various foreign papers of the state that the foreign voters are thoroughly aroused about the needs of the University. The other for eign papers, The Swedish, The Nor wegian-Danish, and the two Italian papers also published strong articles in favor of the University and urged their readers to vote in favor of the appropriation.

From the text of the letter from Student Body President Vernon Motsehen bacher, * anyone will be eligible, as there is a desire to get the best song* possible. The following letter from Motsch enbacher describes the type of song, and the purpose of offering the prize: There is a strong feeling among the students and friends of Oregon that we need an Alma Mater song.

BALL PLAYERS TO GO SOUTH CALIFORNIA MAY BE INVAD ED DURING SPRING VACATION MA.IY GAMES ARE SCHEDULED Trip Certainty If Men Turn Out and Show Interest. Prospects Are Good to Capture Coast Pennant. A trip to California for the base ball team this coming season is the present plan which Graduate-man, age Walker is working on. The trip will be made during Spring vacation and will take the place of the north ern trip, if arrangements which Wal ker are working on turn out as pre dicted. Games will be scheduled with the University of California. Stan ford University and several other teams probably San*a Clara, St. Mary’s among them. "The prospects for a champion ship team are the best l have seen,” says Walker, "and it is my opinion that we have the best baseball coach on the coast. Coach Bezdek will be with us until the end of the college year and will have charge of the coaching of the team. He undoubt edly knows the game, and with the old men and new material which has shown up, 1 have no doubt but that, the team will capture the pennant. "I have been in communication with a number of the universities and colleges in California besides several other teams with good repu tations and I am satisfied that the trip can be made without the least difficulty. The principal obstacle now in sight is whether or not the men turn out and show enough pip to make a team that will be a credit to the University. The coach can not do it all, he must have the ma terial to work with.” JREGON JOURNALISM SCHOOL RANKED HIGH Professor Allen Receives Invi tation to Read Paper at Teachers’ Conference Eric VV.
