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.

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.

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.
