Coach Bezdek is going to pit his re serve force against Willamette tomor row, in order to allow his regulars to rest up and get into shape for the Washington game on November 14. But don’t think for a minute that his selection won’t be a formidable ag gregation. Cossman, at center, has had lots of experience under “Bez” and will hold down his job in good style. Cawley, at guard, is a strong man, and was making a good showing for a regular berth when he received injuries that | put him out of the running. Johnson, his running mate, is not a large man, but his lack of weight is balanced by lots of “sand.” Powrie and Callison, playing the tackles, are expected to open up large holes in the Methodists’ line. Mitchell is a natural end, and Cornwall, although just switched to the extreme post, is a hard man to get away from. He is rather destruc tive on interference, too. Sharpe will call signals, and although he is not the field general that Cornell is, he can certainly carry the ball. Bigbee, Mon teith and Hendricks are counted on to annex most of the score and are all good backs. Monteith has been cho sen to do the booting. He has been punting 40 yards consistently. Coach Bezdek considers the Metho dists to be fully 50 per cent better I than when they were defeated 64 to 0 by O. A. C. They have made rapid im provement lately and a good game is expected. At 1:30 o’clock the Sophomores will meet the Freshmen in a preliminary contest. The Freshmen have accept ed, the “Ball” challenge and expect co secure revenge for the beating handed them by the Sophs in the “mix.” The Sophs figure nothing to it but ’17. They beat Eugene High School lastnight 14 to. 0, showing some real class. Captain Nelson and Scaiefe made the touchdowns. Both teams have been practicing faithfully for about a week and the conglomerative struggle promises to be fully as interesting as in previous years. Considerable anxiety has been aroused over the possibility that “Tick” Malarkey might not be able to enter the Washington game, but the Irishman is coming around nicely and will be out in a week. It will take about the same length of time for “Nance” Cornell’s knee to right itself. At present^ he uses a cane to facilitate his pedal progress. The regulars were so stiff Tuesday night from the effects of the Idaho game that they had to exchange plac es to get up a.sweat. Cornell played center, Risley quarter, Beckett and Philbin halves, and Sam Cook full.. I (Continued on page 4.) PREPPERS FAIL TO STEM TIDE OF MIGHTY SOPHS Eugene High School Submerged 14-0; Captain “Swede” Nelson il Hero of the Hour By Dewitt Gilbert. Martin Nelson’s Sophomore squad administered a crushing 14-0 defeat to the forces representing Eugene High School yesterday afternoon at Cow pasture Park, somewhere near the outskirts of the city. Captain Nelson made the first score after a sensational sprint through the entire Eugene team. The Norwegian Albino shook off would-be tacklers with utter abandon as he traversed the entire field unaided. The other touch down came when Scaiefe fell on the ball that had been fumbled by the High School kicker behind the Eugene goal line. The Soph linemen with fiendish en ergy tore ragged gaps in the White and Purple defense, and through these the flying backfield plunged for enor mous gains. The ferocious Sophomore herd held the preppers completely at their mercy, never allowing a sem blance of a chance to score. Time and again the High School assault was hurled against the impregnable wall only to be thrown back, crushed and broken, by the severity of the im pact. The long, elusive spiral punts that Captain Nelson offered proved too much for the preppers to handle. Aside from the open field running of the blonde captain, the line plunging of Bull and the all-around work of Pobst stood out remarkably. Several near fatalities occurred, among the most serious of which was the injury suffered by Pobst. His jer sey was rent limb from limb. Several stitches were necessary before it was of further use-to the fighting guard. 160 10 60 TO ALBANY Will Witness Washington-O. A. C. Game; U. of W. to Send 300 Rooters It is estimated that about 160 stu dents will go to Albany Saturday to see the Washington-O. A. C. game. The trains will leave here about noon and will go direct to the grounds. They will return immediately after the game, arriving here at 7:00 in the ev ening. A special rate of $1:30 has been given by the railroad company. The University of Washington has chartered a special train to take its rooters to the game. A round trip fare of $9.80 has been granted them, provided that 175 buy tickets. At the last report over 300 had signed up. ************ NOTICE * The Sophomore football team * * will meet that of the Freshmen * * in mortal combat on Kincaid Field * * tomorroy afternoon at 2:00 o’clock * * sharp. * *********** * DR MARCOTTE TO SPEAK AT SUNDAY’S VESPER SERIVCE Dr. Henry Marcotte, pastor of the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Portland, will talk at the University Vesper service next Sunday at 4:30 in Villard Hall.

GLASSES MEET AFTER P0SIN6 FOR PICTURE SENIORS DECIDE TO STAGE CLASS PLAY; ALL OFFER SUPPORT TO OREGANA TO REPEAT LOTTERY DANCE $25 Left in Treasury From the Under class Mix; Advisors Address Respective Classes The Senior class will present be fore the Student Btody and the people of Eugene a class play some time during the coming winter. It was so decided at the meeting held in Professor Dunn’s room in Deady Hall yesterday morning. A committee consisting of Maurice Hill, Bert Jerard and Helen Hamil ton, was appointed by “Prexy” Dor ris as a board of censorship to pass on several plays which will be sub mitted by well-known playwrights throughout the country. The nature of the play has not yet been decided upon, but the committee has prom ised something spicy in the way of modem drama. The lottery dance was also made an order of the day, the class voting to conduct the drawing in open meet ing, rather than trusting to the in tegrity of the dance commitee. The question of partners will be decided at the next gathering of the Sen iors. At the close of the meeting ‘ i*rexy Dorris made an earnest plea for foot ball candidates for the Senior team to report regularly for practice. Sixty-nine out of the 72 members present at the Junior class meeting Wednesday morning have handed in their names as subscribers to the 1915 Oregana. • In his report upon the Underclass Mix, Merlin Batley stated that a sur plus of $25.00 would be left in the treasury after all expenses of the Mix were paid. professor Allen, recently elected supervisor to the class, gave a short talk, in which he urged the hearty support of the Oregana by every mem ber. Talks were also made by William Holt, Business Manager of the Ore gana, Charles Collier, Class Treasur er, Allen Eaton and Ernie Vosper. The Sophomore class meeting was addressed by Dr. E. S. Conklin, class adviser, Lamar Tooze urging the sup port of the Oregana, Ernie Vosper, Varsity Yell Leader, and Allen Eaton, all four of whom talked to the class. Dr. Conklin said that he attaches much value to student activities and for that reason considers that a men should be ashamed of himself who habitually fails to attend class meet ings. The importance of carefulness in the financial affairs of the class was em phasized by Dr. Conklin, who cited the case of last year’s Senibr class, which was in debt at the time of grad uation. “Be economical in your ex penditures,” was his advice. Subscription blanks for the Oregana were given out to the class, and every one was urged to subscribe. Ernie Vosper spoke about the trip to Corvallis for the Oregon-O. A. C. football game, explaining that the round trip fare would be $1.35, and the admission price 75 cents..He made a plea that all go to the game with their enthusiasm. Allen Eaton briefly called attention to the fact that the $1,500 exemption bill on the ballot would effect the Uni versity if it passed, in that it would reduce the income from the millage bill that goes into effect the first of the year. The exemption bill, Mr. Eaton said, would exempt $150,000.00 worth of property from taxation and (Continued on page 4.) * * * 0 ********* ACCEPTANCE * * To the Manager of the Sophomore * * Football Team, namely Howard ¥ * Bull: * * The Freshman football team of * * the University of Oregon hereby * * accepts the challenge of its wor- * * thy Sophomore opponents to a * * game of football to be played Fri- * * day, October 30, on Kincaid Field * * under the aforementioned condi- * * tions. * * Signed, 1918 * ************ SIGMA DELTA CHI INITIATES NEW WEN FOUR NEOPHYTES RIDE THE GOAT TONIGHT, MAKING 9 ACTIVE MEMBERS Omicron Local Chapter Is Ninth to be Installed by National Jour nalistic Fraternity Sigma Delta Chi, national journal istic fraternity, the Oregon chapter of which is holding an initiation today, was founded at DePauw University, April 17, 1909. The local organiation was installed April 10, 1913, as the thirteenth chapter of the fraternity, arl Onthank, Franklin Allen, Leland Hendricks, Harold Young, Carleton Spencer, Andrew Collier, Sam Michael, Henry Fowler, Fendel S. Waite and Donald B. Rice were the charter mem bers. The Omicron Chapter as a local was known as the University of Or egon Press Club, and was founded in 1909 by several college newspaper cor respondents, who organized for the double purpose of fellowship and mu tual instruction in the art of journal ism. Besides undergraduate students, President P. L. Campbell, Professor Eric W. Allen and Professor Colin V. Dyment are honorary members of the organization. In addition to the char ter members, the following students have been initiated into Sigma Delta Chi since its organization a year and a half ago: Clarence Ash, now with the Albany Democrat; Earl Blackaby, Jessup Strang, Clarence Brotherton and Tom Boylen. Today’s initiates are Fred Dunbar, Wallace Eakin, Leslie Tooze and Lamar Tooze. The fraternity plans a series of lec tures this year by prominent jour nalists from over the state, and sev eral “mixers” will be held. Last year Sigma Delta Chi entertained all of the men in the Journalism Department at a “mix” at the Kappa Sigma house. ************ * REPORTERS * * The Emerald will be issued Sat- * * urday morning on account of the * * 0.

E. Barclay, of Sheridan, the photogra pher. The slight fog that prevailed furnished conditions that were really better for the purpose than sunlight would have been. The trees in the background are dim, but every face is easily recognizable. ® Harold Hamstreet, ’17, has taken charge of the distribution of the prints and is now receiving orders. “I ex pect that the demand will reach fully 700 from the students alone,” he said, j after his first half hour of taking 'down names. “In 30 minutes I have sold 45 prints. Many students are or derirfg more than one, so as to be able to send to their homes or to friends | at a distance. The prints, which are i 40x8 inches in size, are 50 cents each, : and will go through the mail for two cents postage.” 335 STUDENTS PR01ISE10 GIVE SOLICITOR VISITS CUSS MEETING AND OBTAINS ASSURANCE OF SUPPORT, FRESHMEN HEAD UST. ALL RUT NINE UPPERCLASSMEN PLEDGE AID Three hundred and thirty-five stu dents of the University have already definitely expressed their desire to subscribe for the 1916 Oregana. Yesterday morning, members of the circulation staff of the year book called upon the various classes dur ing the regular class meeting period in order to ascertain the attitude of the Student Body with reference to support for the Oregana. As there were at least 200 students who did not attend the meetings of their re spective classes, the result of the can vass does not show the support of the Student Body as a whole. In point of numbers, the Freshmen, with 113 pledges, lead all other class es. Next in line are the Sophomores, 97 of the 116 at the meeting declare ing their intention of subscribing for the book. The Juniors follow next with 70 pledges secured from the 76 who attended class meeting. The number of Seniors signing the cards totaled 66, including all but four who were present at the 1916 conclave. William P. Holt, manager of the publication, is highly gratified over the results of the canvass. “The number of students signifying their desire to subscribe for the Ore gana was greater than we had ex pected. The circulation staff will make a thorough canvass immediate ly after November 1, of all students, including not only those who have signed the pledge cards, but also those who have not had an opportu nity to express their deseires in the matter. '‘There are a number of current ex penses to be met, and we are depend ing upon money from subscriptions to meet them. For this reason it is the earnest desire of the Oregana management that the students make the $1.50 payment at. once. “The reduced rate of $2.50 will continue only until Junuary 1. All [students subscribing for the book af ter that date will be obliged to pay the regular rate of $3.00 per copy. “It will be of great assistance to us if all students not living in fra ternities, dormitories or clubs, will pay their subscription at the Y. M. C. A. Book Exchange,” concluded Hyde.. ALUMNI GOME THROUGH 500 Grads Subscribe for Emerald; State Fair Edition Attracts At tention to Alma Mater Five hundred and more alumni have sent in their subscriptions to the Em erald already this fall, and more are coming in all the time. “Mr. Earl Kilpatrick, ’09, of the Uni versity Extension Department, and who is Secretary-Treasurer of the Alumni Association, succeeded in se curing a large number of subscrip tions from old graduates who called at the University exhibit at the State Fair,” said Anthony Jaureguy, busi ness manager. ” The fair edition of the Emerald seems to have reached a great many University supporters. “Recently I have received a num ber of inquiries from former Univer sity people who are in all parts of the world. These old graduates take deep interest in the Emerald in spite of the fact that the news is a month or more old before it reaches them. “We are striving to make the Em erald one of the best college papers on the Coast this year,” continued Mr. Jaureguy. “It contains much more news than most of the other college papers, and the subscription price is only about half that of sim ilar publications.” “When the staff is a little better organized, we will try to get the Em erald out at 5:00 P. M., so that the fraternities and sororities may have it before dinner. I have not been around to get the fraternities’ subscriptions yet, but the sororities have subscribed almost to a member. I will try to see every student by the end of next week; so everyone have his dollar ready.” “Incidentally, I have a place on the managing staff for some ambitious Freshman boys who are not afraid of work and who have had some expe rience either in business or on high school publications.” A golf club with a membership of 270 is the boast of the University of Washington. TO HID WAR ns Y. W. C. A. Girls Will Have Sewing Bee at the Buhgalow Saturday Morning to Help European Women To make much needed clothing for the women and children among the war sufferers is the purpose of a sewing bee that will be held at the Y. W. Bungalow Saturday morning. The garments, when finished, will be sent to the National Red Cross Society in Chicago, which is sending a relief ship to the war realm. The women of the Y. W. C. A. Ad visory Board have cut out the gar ments, and all the girls have to do is to sew them up. A box has been placed in the Library for contribu tions to pay for the material. We need all the help we can get,” said Miss Gillies. Every girl that pos sibly can should be at the Bungalow Saturday morning.” TEACHERS MEET HERE University to Entertain Guests on the Campus During First Three of Christmas Vacation The campus of the University will be the meeting place for the Teachers’ Association of the state during the first three days of Christmas vaca tion.
