OREGON FAILS ON TWO GOAL KICKS GAME IS FEATURELESS Parsons, Bryant, Malarkey Cornell and Hoover Score; Beckett’s Punts Average Forty Yards ************ * In discussing the game, Coach * * Hahn said: “The wet field got us, * * all right. The team didn’t get ac- * * customed to it until the last half; * * they couldn’t get their speed at * * all. In the first half they licked :i * us three touchdowns, but in the * * last half we held them to one.” * * Coach Bezdek refused to make * * any formal statements about the * * result except that he wasn’t the * * happiest man in the whole world. * ************ Playing old-style football from start to finish, Bezdek’s experimental first team ran away from the Whitman eleven in the first conference game of the season on Kincaid Field this after noon. Whitman’s line crumbled be fore the onslaughts of Oregon’s plung ing backfield. Parsons, Malarkey and Bryant took turns at leading the at tack, and each of the trio delivered yardage consistently. Whitman’s three points were scored' on a difficult place kick by Hoover in j the third quarter. Oregon also tallied by the pedal method in the final pe riod, Parsons being the artist. Touch downs were scored by Parsons, Bry ant, Malarkey and Cornell. The game was slow and featureless. Time was taken out repeatedly for in jured Missionaries, but Bezdek’s men were on their feet after every down. In the kicking department, Beckett clearly outclassed both Bishop and Hoover. His spirals averaged 43 yards, while those of the Northern booters hardly went 30 yards on an average. A crowd of 1,500 saw the game. Roscoe Fawcett, sporting editor of the Oregonian, gave general satisfaction as referee. Coach Johnson, of Eugene High School was umpire, and Sam Do lan, of 0. A. C. head linesman. First Quarter Bishop, for Whitman, kicks off to Parsons, who returns the ball five yards. On the first play Beckett punts 50 yards, the ball rolling out of bounds on Whitman’s 20-yard line. Whitman fails to gain on fake punt. On the third down Whitman makes two yards on fake punt. On fourth down Whitman punts 20 yards out of bounds. Parsons goes through the line for five yards; Malarkey jabs the line for three; Bryant follows through the same hole for four yards. Oregon is sweeping Whitman off her feet by superior speed. Parsons carries the ball to the one-yard line. Bryant takes it over for a touchdown. Beckett fails to kick goal. Oregon’s touchdown came after four minutes of play. (Continued on page 4.) ANNUAL SOPHOMORE “PROGS” BLOSSOM FORTH AT LAST Frosh Offenders Told Where to Head In; Red Ink Used Extensively Larger and more lurid than ever before, the annual proclamations against "the Freshmen made their ap pearance early this morning. Bloody red is tastefully combined with funereal black, to impress the Frosh with their own depravity and the dire calamity which threatens them should they persist in their of fenses. A huge skull and crossbones at the top serves to remind the first year readers of the brevity and un certainty of human life. As a specimen of acrimonious composition, this year’s poster would make Cicero’s famous diatribe against Catiline sound like a faculty colloqui am. Several of the most deadly mas ters of invective in the Sophomore ranks are suspected of having had a hand in its production. The posters were sown broadcast over all the territory adjacent to the campus, fences, telegraph poles, and sidewalks being utilized by the 1917 paper-hangers. Emma Wootton, ’17, is spending a few days at the Gamma Phi Beta house.

Stoddard. “This is the best spirit in years.” Thus the bizarre hilarity and effer vescent enthusiasm of the pajama pa rade last night was characterized by George Hug, Principal of Eugene Higli School, and a football star of ye olden days, who spoke to the serpentining, marching, singing, shouting, comedy stricken crowd of Varsity men in front of the Osbum Hotel. “Whitman has a hard nut to crack tomorrow, and if every man on the team and on the side-lines does his best, we’ll win,” said Dr. Read, amid irrepressible shouts. The pajama parade had a larger variety of costumes and comedians than ever before. Besides the many pajamas, there were clown-like paint ed facesY ill-fittings wigs, and make ups that brought forth many a laugh from the spectators along the curbs. Ernie Vosper, yell leader, directed some of the yells from the shoulders of four or five Seniors, and the rooters responded with “pep.” Led by the University Band of 25 pieces, the procession picked up its men house by house until before it reached town it was the longest rally parade ever peen here. The men marched to the Osburn Hotel, where they heard Dr. Read and George Hug. Next, through every sorority house the pajamistB serpentined^ Weeping* time with their bodies to the yell of “Oregon Oregon! Rah, Rah, Ore gon!” The girls ofi the stairs laughed and cheered as they saw the muddy footed rooters making a path of dirt on the carpet-cleared floors. Several paraders who were made up as women received much attention from the other painted cut-ups who crowded adoringly around. Alex Bowen and Bob McMurray, ! twq Sophomores dressed respectively as a savage and a Mexican, were awarded the prizes for the best cos tumes by the three women judges. Dr. J. H. Gilbert, Professor of Eco nomics, delivered an address at Day ton, Oregon, Friday evening, Octobei 9, on the subject of “The Tax Meas j ures to Come Up at the Novembei | Election.” His audience was com posed chiefly of farmers from the sur rounding sections STUDENT UBOR 01 HEW HELD IS PUD - Work Will Start as Soon as Architect Is Ready. March Is Date Set for Completion Plans for the new Athletic Field are now in the hands of the architect and actual work upon the field is sim ply awaiting their return. Coach Bez dek has in mind a plan by which he expects to have the new field ready for use by next March. “I am going to ask the students to do the work themselves. It will be a good way for them to spend some of their spare time, and when the field is finished, they will think twice as much of t as they would if it had been done by someone else. A squad of students, under the direction of a competent foreman, could accomplish more in one day than outside help would accomplish in a week.” The baseball diamond will be sep arate from the gridiron and will have have a separate grand-stand. The running track will be built around the gridiron. YOUNGER GENERATION WINS INTER-SCHOLASTIC LAURELS Robert Malarkey, who made Colum bia’s only touchdown in the recent 7-7 game between Columbia Universi ty and Washington High School in Portland, is “Tick” Malarkey’s bro ther.

Fee Writes “Welcome Home” to Grads Who Are Pres ent on Homecoming Day Weary wanderers in labor, Alma Ma ter awaits you here, With a laugh to break your Badness, and a smile to dry your tear; Mater of the tribe of brothers, lead ers of the world of men, Greets you after years of patience, clasps you to her breast again. In the home, where once you wor shipped, grows a race within her care, Who have nurtured you in fancy as a spirit of the air; We will herald you as heroes, as be fore you did the same To the men who were returning, and had left a mighty name. Life is running just as smoothly as it was when you were here, With a cheer for every labor, and a joy for every cheer; But there’s something haunts our fan cy, something that we always lack; It’s a cry for those who’ve left us, those who never will come back. Day by day the years are rolling, with a task for each to do; Absence makes the heart forgetful, even in a bosom true. Come again each year in autumn, you will find a welcome sweet, At the door that’s always open, at our guarding Mother’s feet. —Chester Anders Fee. com WILL BE cm University Orchestra to Make First Appearance December 8; Offi cers Are Elected The first concert of the Unversity Orchestra wil be given on the even ing of December 8, in Villard Hall.

The score was: Sophomores 40; Freshmen 25. The mix was notable for the precis ion in which the different events were staged. Notwithstanding the muddy condition of the field, everything1 went off without a hitch, making the affair probably the most successful ever hel'd. The program began at 10:30 o’clock. Headed by the Senior police, “Cap tain” Strang and the Frosh band, the ■'18-ers entered the field for their stunts. Four Frosh carried on their shoulders a coffin, on which were paint ed the numerals of the 1917 class. Marching around the field in front of the grand-stand, the green-cappers lowered the coffin while the band played “Nearer, My God, to Thee.” The Freshmen then filed past the bier, tenderly placing corn-husks on the cof fin lid. The discharge of several sticks of dynamite under the coffin completed their stunts. The Sophomores then came onto the field for their feature program. The women of the class, wearing middy blouses and orange-colored caps, led the parade. They were followed by the Sophomore band and the men of thte class. Their stunts consisted of burlesques of the tug-of-war and the sandbag contest. At a table in the foreground “pink tea” was served while a ban ner bearing the words “Our Seminary Mix” explained the nature of the bur lesques. The Sops were awarded points for features, yells and parade. Each class decorated their section of the grand-stand. The Freshmen were awarded the ten points given for decorations. The first field event was the tying contest. After a ten-minute contest in a slough of mud, the Sophomores were declared winners, having tied (Continued on page 4.)
