THOUSANDS THRONG THE

TO TAKE PART.
BON FIRE LIGHTS SPECTACLE
Bezdek Says He Will Be Satis
fied with 7-6 Score Today—
Hayward, Bradshaw, Duryea
and Jenkins Also Speak
For the third time during the
week Oregon students gathered to
gether last night and held a rally
as a precursor to today’s game with
O. A. C. at Albany. Notwithstanding
the strenuous rally held Wednesday
a great deal of enthusiasm was exhi
bited and the Oregon spirit in full
evidence.
Starting, as usual, from the dor
mitory and led by the band, the line
of students wended downtown, where
amid the connonading of the senior
eivils, yells were given on the prin
cipal corners.
The line then marched to Kincaid
field.
Immediately upon arrival the
Frosli lighted their fire and a col
umn of flame shot up, lighting the
field.
The first speaker called upon was
Coach Bezdek.
“We have worked hard and hon
estly and we expect to get results in
the game tomorrow. But we have to
fight in order to win. There is an
old tradition at O. A. C. that they
cannot beat Oregon. But tradition
will not carry us through. The news
papers have played up the fact that
O. A. C. is the underdog. We do not
think this. They have a good team
and if we defeat them by a 7 to 6
score I am satisfied.
“Tomorrow’s game will be a bat
tle royal and the best team will win.
From the spirit here tonight I think
that it will be Oregon,” said Bill
Hayward.”
“I am worried about the outcome
of the game tomorrow, but I am cer
tain of one thing and that is that
Oregon will give them the hardest
fight in their history,” said Captain
Bradshaw in the course of his
speech.
Captain "Bob” Bradshaw, leader of
the 1913 champions.
The team that meets O. A. C. today and the coach and trainin' who have put the fight into them,
that is to bring the 1913-14 Northwest championship to Oregon.

Individual Statements Show
Men Will Fight to Last Ditch
Before Letting 0. A. C. Win
Here is what the coaches, Dean
Walker, and the members of the
Oregon team had to say of Oregon's
chances, when interviewed. Savors
distinctly of victory all the way
through, except from Coach Bezdek,
who is non-committal:
Hugo Bezdek.
“I’ll make a statement at five
o'clock Saturday, after the game Is
over; 1 don’t want to say anything
of our chances now. We coaches
have given the men all we have; and
I feel that they will fight to the fin
ish—every man. I will not know
the lineup until the game is called."
“Bill” Hayward.
“We’ll have to work to overcome
the injuries to Cook, Parsons, Beck
stt, and Bryant, but hope to have the
.vhole team in condition for the
game. And jt is some team, too.
The men have absorbed that spirit
that knows no defeat; they have had
it drilled into them all season.
Dean Walker
“Win? Of course! We’d beat
them by a million if we should play
long enough I’m tired of being con
servative, and there is my opinion.
We beat them last year, and we now
have a better team than in 1912, and
the men are playing better football.
They have had that good old "fight"
drubbed into them all year; and they
know what it will mean to lose. The
practice Thursday night was good to
watch; it showed the men at their
best, so far. We can’t help but
win'.’*
Captain “Bob" Bradshaw.
“I think we will win, but do not
think that the total of Oregon and
O. A. C. scores will run over sixteen
points.
Sam Cook
“All I have to say is that I hope
the coach will let me get into the
game."
Anson Cornell
“The Oregon team h:ts always ;
been noted for its fighting “Oregon |
Spirit’’ and I think it will be dis- |
played at Albany today.
I.eo Malarky.
“It’s going to be a hard fight but
we’re going to win.
Allie Grout.
“We will go after O. A. C. just
like we always have.”

OREGON UPSETS THE
DOPE OF LAST YEAR
Team, If Anything, Is Overcon
fident, But Has Been Kept
in Good Physical Condition
With the dope almost the reverse
of that of last year, the majority
of the Oregon team and students
ire going to Albany today, confident
that the seventeenth game with th<
Oregon Aggies will bring Oregon’!
total of victories over O. A. C. to
twelve.
Last year the Aggies were «opea
to win; but the Oregon team had
them beaten from the finish, and
won, 3 to 0. This year Oregon goes
with a much stronger team, better
equipped wjith football knowledge,
and enthused with a spirit that keeps
them “kidding” and encouraging
each other until the end of the
three hours practice each evening.
Whether these prophesies of vic
tor} for Oregon, by students, and em
inent footballists of the Northwest
will come to the same end as last
year, remains to be seen.
Oregon Picked to Win.
Oregon is picked to win by John
Bender, W. S. C. coach, Dr. Sweet
land, Willamette veteran coach and
by Tub Carlson, former Oregon Ag
gie center; besides those men close
ly connected with the Oregon team
!'\ w predictions savor of victory for
0. A. C.
The majority of tlie fans believe
though, that if the Aggies play as
they did against the Winged M husk
ies, that Albany will be the scene of
tile greatest battle in Northwest his
■ or.v. But the O. A. C. team also
ic. tile 47-0 score at Seattle damp
•t.itig its record, which Oregon thor
1. ugi.ly duplicates in tile defeat by
.Villamettfi ast Saturday. But the
alter rout ot the Aggies, did not char
acterize the game at Salem.
Hayward reports the entire team
in adequate condition to play in the
game, with the possible exception of
‘ook, who has been healing his in
juries .on the sidelines for the last
week. Wednesday night practice
rhe real scrimmage; and Thursday
night was spent principally in train
ing for defensive work. The first
team spent a half hour in running
off plays. which they did almost
; perfectly even'in the dark.
Light Work Before dame.
Last night signal practice and pass
ing the ball was the total of the
team’s work, which ended the prac
j tlee preceding the game.

VARSITY YELL LEADER GIVES
EXPLICIT ORDERS TO ROOTERS
Only Under - Classmen Wear Rooter’s Caps,
But Everyone Armbands. Complete Plans
Are Made for Yells and Stunts
' i,L LEADERS A\l) STUDENT BODY OFFICERS HAVE PLANN
l-:i> AM) WOHKEl) l'OK WHAT THEY HOPE WILL BE THE GREAT
EST EXHIBITION- OE OREGON Sl'lR1T, FROM OREGON STUDENTS,
i I! IT HAS EVER BEEN SHOWN AT AN OREGON ATHLETIC CON
iEST. EVERY STUDENT SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEM, AND
CONTRIBUTE THEIR LAST EFFORT 'IX) MAKE IT REAL OREGON
OMKIT; THE KIND THAT MOVES, BUT DOES NOT OFFEND.
HERE IS AN OUTLINE FROM YELL LEADER YOUNG, OF THE
ELANS FOR THE ROOTERS’ DEMO N ST R A TO IX AT THE GAME THIS
AFTERNOON.
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND NOTE EVERY
DETAIL. IF YOU DO THIS YOU WILL BE SAVED TROUBLE ANI)
CONTRIBUTE TO THE GENERAL SU(X ESS OF THE DAY.
Head Carefully
"Take the official Oregon Electric
rooters’ train leaving Eugene at 1:05.
teturn on the same special train
leaving Albany at ti o’clock, or any
train after that.
"Buy your tickets before you leave
Eugene, or they will cost you fifty
cents more.
“Rooter hats are to be worn by
the freshmen anti sophomores only.
Mo others are to wear them. Arm
oands are to be worn by everybody.
Glirls are urged to get the small
Oregon pennant flags.
"All Oregon rooters are to wait
at their gate for the entire line, so
ill can go in together. Show your
tickets at the gate, BUT KEEP
I'll EM, for they will he taken up at
the grandstand. This is important.
"The freshmen and sophomores
will load the line In, and seat them
selves in the outline of the big "O"
on the bleachers. These two classes
will occupy tills "O" during the en
tire game.
To Form Block “O."
“Megaphones and several hand
fuls of confetti will be given each
rooter just inside the gait: as they
go in. As the team comes on the
field, every rooter, except the two
classes in the "O” will throw their
confetti into the air, a little at a time
when 1 give the signal. The fresh
men and sophomores will then put
on their rooter hats, which they will
i have concealed up to thia time, and
also put on over their shoulders a
yellow cape, which will also be giv
en them with the megaphones. When
the confetti settles down, a large
block "O” will then appear on the
bleachers—the first ever formed In
a like manner In Oregon.
“Every rooter Is under moral ob
ligation to yell every time a yell is
called. Also to be careful to refrain
from any Improper remarks directed
towards our opponents. This will be
strictly enforced.
Itng Onto Field.
“Between halves the rooters will
descend from the bleachers and “rag"
onto the field while the band plays.
Tlie line will wind up, then sing the
I “Toast to Oregon,” with the Glee
j club leading and band playing, and
[the girls singing also on the bleach
jers, with the Choral club leading.
I After the completion of this Bong,
a yell or two will be given, which I
hope will be the best of tho entire
day.
“This over, the line will unwind,
and march directly down the length
on the field, for enough to allow a
banner, 75 feet long, to be unrolled
from the head of the line, which
banner will have words conveying
our thanks for the appropriation
painted on each side.
“Following this the line will pro
ceed back to the bleachers.”
