ROOTERS' TRAIN IS CHOSEN
P. E. & E. Will be the Official Train
if Game Is Played In
Corvallis
After listening to the arguments of
the two student representatives of the
two railroads bidding for the official
train to the O. A. C.-Oregon game, the
Student Body went on record at the
special meeting in Villard yesterday
morning as favoring the P. E. &. E.,
should the game be played in Portland,
and the Oregon Electric should the
game go to Portland.
But no ipatter where the game will
be played, there will be an official
rooters’ train. This what Ernest Vos
per, yell leader, has favored, and af
ter the student representatives of the
railroads had presented their argu
ments, and before a vote was taken,
he addressed an appeal to the students.
“Do we want to represent ourselves
to Corvallis and the students there
as a Student Body or as individuals,”
he asked. “This is the reason I want
a rooters’ train. To get this train T
must fight both the railroad repre
sentatives, but worse still the Emer
ald, for the lines are strong advertis
ers, and what will hurt one or the
other is a rooters’ train, and no doubt
the line losing will cut advertising.
This is a big question, and it is now
op to you to decide. Now, are you
going to serve the interests of the rail
roads or the University?”
Bert Lombard followed with a few
words supporting Vosper, and closed
by introducing the following resolu
tions, both of which were adopted:
“Whereas, The P. E. & E. has more
advantages than the .Oregon Electric
to Corvallis;
Be it resolved, that the P. E. & E.
|be declared the official train, providing
I declared the official train, providing
Ithe Oregon-O. A. C. football game is
|played in Corvallis.”,
“Whereas, Both the S. P. and Ore
18011 Electric have equal advantages
|t° Portland, but out of a spirit of fair
ness to both companies,"
“Be it further resolved, That the Or
egon Electric be declared the official
»in, if the Oregon-O. A. C. football
Bme is played in Portland.”
The arguments presented to the Stu
dent Body in favor of the P. E. & E.
J>y William Tuerck, which were suffi
Jient to warrant the Student Body
'flaking it the official train if the game
jhould be played in Corvallis, were,

* Bezdek—“They’ve got us beat *

* Dobie—Reticjent as usual, but *
* says: “It is the lightest and most *

* had. Oregon will weight more *
* than we will, too, and they have *
* a backfield reputed to be even *
* faster than the Aggie backs. *
* Professor Howe—“It’s hard to *
* prophesy. Had our team met *
* Washington or O. A. C. on Octo- *
ber 31, when they played at Al- *
* bany, Oregon would have defeat- *
* ed either by a possible margin of *
* one or two touchdowns. Rut since *
* then accidents have occurred *
* which make things different.” *
* Parsons—Things don’t look *
* over-brilliant, but the team con- *
* tinues to pick up. We’ll give the *
* Washingtonians the scrap of their *
* lives.” •
* ‘‘Wee” Coyle, erstwhile TJ. of

* sound ridiculous, but I make the
* prediction that the University of
* Washington will defeat the Uni
* versity of Oregon * * by
* something like 35 to 0.
* John Bender, of Pullman, only
* hopes Oregon will wipe Washing
* ton off the topographical map of
* pigskinism.
* Cornell—“Washington has no
* clever men. If we can combine
* our speed with good, heady team
* work, we’ll win.
* Portland Critic (in Washington
* Daily)—“This man Hugo Bezdek
* is a wonder at whipping new tim
* ber into shape, and it is not al
* together improbable that Oregon
* will wallop the champs, despite
* Wee Coyle’s prediction.”
* Weist—“We’re going to lick
* ’em.
* Cook—“Fight will do it.”
* Bryant—“Seven to nothing.”
* Beckett—“We are going to give
* them all we’ve got.”
The University of Washington holds
its first homecoming celebration on
Thanksgiving day. It is expected that
the homecoming will become an an
nual event.

The team went through its last hard
practice last night in a drizzling rain,
and without the luminousness of the
arc lamps, which refused to work.
In spite of the inauspicious circum.
stances, every play and formation was
worked over, and the concensus of
opinion among those who have been
following the team’s progress is that
Oregon is prepared to give Washing
ton the battle of its life.
Coach Bezdek, Trainer Hayward
and Graduate Manager Tiffany, to
gether with 21 men, left at 5:30 this
afternoon on a special car for Seat
tle. The men making the trip are:
Captain Parsons, Bryant, Bigbee,
Crowell, Huntington, Weist, Cornwall,
Philbin, Beckett, Cook, Snyder, Ris
ley, Monteith, Cawley, Cossman,
Powrie, Cornell, Sharpe, Mitchell,
Garrett and Callison.
Oregon stock rose perceptibly last
night when Cook and Beckett ap
peared in the line. Cook gained 10
pounds by his lay-off, and although
he is not in perfect condition, he is
expected to do yeoman servicfe in
backing up the Lemon-Yellow defense
Saturday.
Beckett is a little off weight, but
is feeling fit again and will probably
strengthen his bid for an All-North
west position.
The Oregon party, including “Dean”
Murray and “Doc” Reid, will arrive
in Seattle Friday morning at 7:30
o’clock. The team will work out Fri
day and Saturday on Denny Field.
The Washington gridiron is of a grav
el formation, and is much faster than
the Oregonites are used to. Hence
the early departure for the Sound
City.'
The “sick” department of the squad
includes Cornell, Garrett, Cook and
Beckett. Cornell will not be called
into service unless Huntington is in
jured. Garrett is suffering from lame
shoulders, and probably will warm
the bench most of the time.
Washington is going to have a
mighty hard time winning from
“Bez’s” crew. The Purple and Gold
line will meet its match if not its su
perior. Dobie won’t make much
yardage through the center of the line
although Hunt and Savage may be
