WIH ^ G On the Field of the Whitman-Oregon Battle Frosh and Sophs * to Match Valor The Underclass Mix, under the con trol of the Junior class, has this year been set for the 10th of October, the day of the Whitman game. The Jun ior committee wishes to announce that the events this year will be en larged upon and that more originality will be shown than in previous years. It will be impossible to stage the tug of war contest over the old duck pond, because this sanitary crime has been obliterated. The Juniors, how ever, will make every effort to find an equally attractive place along the mill race in order that this feature may not be dropped from the pro gram. If possible, a push ball will be procured either at Seattle or Port land, and this contest will be as in 1912. The announcements and program will not be made public until a few days before the contest, giving neither side long to prepare. As the Fresh man class this year is amply supplied with men of a heavy type it is ex pected that they will make a very good showing where strength is re quired. The Junior committeemen having the Underclass Mix in charge are Merlin Batley, chairman, Fred Dunbar, ‘Bill Burgard, Claude Hampton, Gavin Dy ott, Walter Church, Bothwell Avison, Ray Gorman, Grant Shaffner and Wal lace Eakin.

East MCA SHOWS MEN TRIPPING C00D11E ASSOCIATION IS HOST TO 300 UNIVERSITY MEN Sports, Cider and Talk Occupy Sev eral Hours of Wild Revelry By L. E. T. Doughnuts, cider, speeches, “hot hand,” pillow and cock fights combined to make the annual “stag mix” in Vil lard Hall last evening the “best ever.” Approximately 300 men, including be sides undergraduates several faculty members and alumni, were there and the entire evening was one of pleasant entertainment and good fellowship. Speeches by well known students and faculty members took up the greater part of the evening. The first speaker introduced by Student Body President Tom Boylen was Johnnie Parsons, captain of this year’s football team. Parsons, in a short, snappy talk, urged the Freshmen to get out for football, saying that the vacancies caused by the graduation of old men, offered splendid opportunities for in coming students to make the team. He said that the prospects for a suc cessful season were encouraging. The next speaker, Bert Lombard, President of the Y. M. C. A., made an appeal to the studerfts for their sup port in the Association’s work during the coming year. “Bill” Hayward, Or egon’s trach mentor for years, an nounced that “all indications point toward a most successful track sea son,” and that “ all of last year’s men except one will be out fflh places on the 1915 squad. Fred Hardesty, member of the 1914 champion debating team, made an ur gent appeal to Freshmen, asking them to take an active interest in oratory and debate. President Boylen next presented President Campbell, who, in a short address of welcome, reminded the stu dents of their obligation toward the University and state, and predicted the coming year to tffe a record break er. Following President Campbell, Mar tin Nelson, President of the 1917 class last year, asked the old and the in coming students to become members of the Y. M. C. A. Nelson was fol lowed by Doctor R. C. Bennett, for merly of Yale, but now an instructor in the University Law Department. Doctor Bennett complimented the stu dents upon the manifest spirit of dem ocracy that prevails at Oregon. Coach Bezdek, the Napoleon of Northwest collegiate athletics, an nounced that he was favorably im pressed with the season’s football out look, and urged the united support of Oregon students. The anual cock fight, a regular fea ture of “stag mixes,” was won by John Beckett, who won the same event last year. Sixten men entered the preliminaries, and through a series of elimination contests the finals were betwen Beckett and Clifford Mitchell, i Freshman. Beckett annexed two eut of three matches, winning the sil ver cup that is annually awarder the winner in this event. The cup be comes Beckett’s permanent possession m view of the fact that he has won t two years in succession. The pie-eating contest was won by Harold Mason, a gren-capper from Portland, in the recordbreaking time >f four minutes. George Winship, of \thena, came in for second honors. The University Gle Club rendered several Oregon songs that were enthu SPIFITOFIMPROVBNEHT INVADES FRATERNITIES ° e _ Four Houses Undergo Repairs During Summer—Sigma Nu Makes Extensive Changes Repairs and improvements totaling $5,000 were made on various local fra ternity houses during the past sum mer. The Sigma Nu house, under the di rection of Ormond Bean, ’09, has been almost entirely remodeled and refur nished in the interior. The partitions of three of the old lower floor rooms have been removed, making a living room 34x28 feet. This room, as are all tfiose on the lower floor, is finished in white enamel and furnished with a new and pleasing design of tapestry furniture. At one side of this room a large fireplace has been constructed. The old den and a bed room have been changed into a smoking room 15x30 feet. Another new fireplace has alBo been placed here. The kitchen and pantry have been enlarged to accom modate the large appetites that are expected. Above the 'kitchen a sleping porch to accommodate 20 men has been fur nished. On the opposite side of this addition is a smaller sleping porch to aocommodate six Varsity men. New plumbing and baths have been installed on each floor. The dining room is perhaps the most attractive in the house. Here the motif is white and gray, white enamel wood work with gray paper, chairs and table. The improvements are completed by the laying of over 1,400 square feet of hard-wood floor, the installation of a semi-indirect system of lighting and the repainting of the entire exterior. Sigma Chi has also effected several improvements. Having been troubled by the Delta Gamas gazing into their kithcen, they have constructed a lat tice work for the protection of this room. The interior of the house has been entirely renovated, the walls re tinted and the wood work reyarnished. The stucco work on the exterior has been repainted. Phi Gamma Delta is also expecting large appetites, as they have enlarged their dining room and kitchen. On the second boor a new sleeping porch and bath have ben constructed. Another feature of note is the miror-like sur face put on the floors by Ben Doris. The Kappa Sigma house has under gone extensive interior renovation and the exterior has been repainted. VARSITY SHORT STORY WRITER SELLS “LEOPARDS” '“Leopards” is the title of a short story which Edison Marshall, a Soph omore in the University, has written and sold to the Munsey magazine. Marshall has been interested in short story writing for some time, and during the past year has written 17 complete stories. While “Leopards” is the first one which he has sold, sev eral more are now being considered by the editors of several magazines. Marshall expects to make story writing his life work, and is taking considerable work in the Department of English in order to fit himself for his literary career. “Leopards” is a story 3,000 words in length. The price paid for it was one cent for each word, netting the writer $30.00. siastichlly received. The mix was in charge of the! Y. M. social committee, of which Tom Boylen is chairman.
