Volume XVI, No. 28 RALLY FULL OF CHILI AND “CON” CLOUDS DF GLOOM EVAPORATE AFTER a LANTERN DANCE THROUGH THE STREETS, VILLARD IS OVER-CROWDED WITH STUDENTS AND TOWNS PEOPLE WHO SHOW APPRECIATION WUMII THREE DRAMS Thespic Critics Chortle Over Program and Are Inspired to a Tran scendent “Drammer” “SOME PEP AND LOTS OF PIP” A COMEDY-DRAM By Milton Stoddard and Howard Hall. Time—Last night from 6:45 to 11:00. Place—Eugene. ACT ONE Scene: Eleventh and Willamette streets. Promptly at 6:45 the rally line, in unique formation, four abreast, swing ing red lanterns, zigzagged in “snake style” down to Willamette and Eighth streets, where “On, Oregon, On,” the new song, was sung, and various yells given. The Varsity letter men and the band led the strange line, goaded on by fe verish exhortations by the “Gutta Percha Kid,” Vospers’ assistant. At every street intersection a glow of red fire lit the path of the procession. If there were any Eugene citizens who failed to come down on Willamette street, it was because they were con fined to their beds like Jake Risley. Everyone else was there. On the Sig ma Nu porch “Tick” Malarkey, the injured Irish halfback, unable to join the evening’s hilarity, was cheered again and again. ACT TWO Scene: Villard Hall. Enter everybody and others with much merriment. “Plenty of seats left,” shouted the ushers, “but they’re all taken;” and many have to stand. Football squad marched in and sat on the stage, the crowd shouting all the while. Bezdek speaking—“Are we licked?” Crowd—‘No!” Bezdek—“Are we down-hearted?” Crowd—“No!” Bezdek—“Have we a great state ” Crowd—“Yes!” And other things the coach said, to which the crowd cheered, and when he spoke of the team, everybody shouted. Then followed thirteen acts of vau (Continued on page 4.) AGGIE COLORS ADORN FIJI HOUSE-RUT IT MEANS MUMPS Miss Davis, of English Department, Sees “Jake” Risley’s Quarantine Flag and Fears 0. A. C. Trick “The naughty O. A. C. boys have been playing jokes on you, I’m afraid, so I stopped in to tell you that they’ve put some big signs up on your honse,” said Miss Davis, of the English De partment, when she called at the Fiji house this morning. With this she pointed to the several fearsome pla cards that adorn the Fiji front porch. Yes, the signs were there, but they were no joke, they were all that is externally visible of Jake Risley’s mumps. Branding the death of Cadet Wm. Bowlus, of Middleton, Md., from a hazing escapade at St. John’s Col lege on May 26 as murder, Judge Brashears has urged the grand jury to investigate the tragedy. Five Freshmen were held responsible for the murder. ********** * SCORES OF PREVIOUS ORE * GON-O. A. C. FOOTBALL * GAMES * Ore.

THE HEAD OF THE FAMILY HAS HIS TROUBLES What the Critics Say Today Garrett—We will do as we always have done—give them all the fight we have. Crowell—All we have is the fight and the coach. Huntington—The tougher it is tlie better we like it. Bryant—We are going to win if it takes every man—we have a second team. Powrie—We’ll give them all we’ve got. Cossman—It will be no walk for ei ther team. Cawley—A good game and a close one. We will all be there. Cornell—We have had our fill of bad luck, but we will shpw them the Oregon spirit. Monteith—1 am making no state ment. Spellman—It will be the old Ore gon fight. Malarkey—No Oregon man ever quit. Graduate Manager Tiffany—We are going to lick them. They never can beat us. Vosper—We are going to win the game. The boys will be back of Bez dek from start to finish. Callison—It will take the same old scrap. Mitchell—We have the hardest game of the year. Haywhrd—We have only the rem nants of a team. It is the hardest fight with the weakest team of the season. They may beat us, but they can’t lick us. Boylen—We will win, but win, draw or lose, we will all be back of the team, the coaches and the scrubs. Coach Bezdek—We haven’t the team that I would like to see, but the team that goes in will make good. Dallenbach—It looks bad. The men have a fighting chance and we have confidence that the boys will put up a good fight. Captain Parsons—We have the Or Professor H. C. Howe—The Oregon team has played under unheard of bad luck this season. Bezdek is now train ing his third successive center, and his fourth successive quarterback. These two positions form the pivot around which the team work is per fected. The team has all sorts of football in it, the heartiest get togeth er spirit, and scads of fight. Only the long succession of setbacks to fin ished team work has kept it from an unbroken sucession of victories, in my opinion. Of course, a team that goes into each game with a new line up must remain more or less an un known quantity to the end, but the old Oregon fight will be there, whatever the lineup. I do not look to see 0. A. C. make any three touchdowns on us. In fact, they’ll have to show me me before I will believe they can make any touchdown on this year’s Oregon team. egon spirit and a fight. Weist—We will fight to the finish. Cornwall—We will fight farther than that. Beckett—You know us, Aggies. Snyder—We’ll be in it every min ute. Cook—I’m not ta king. Philbin—Lots of “pep” will do it. Mitchell—It wouldn’t sound polite in print. SOPHOMORES PREPARE TO HOIST NEW FLAG OF VICTORY If Bezdek’s proteges succeed in bringing home thtf bacon today or the game results in a tie, the event will be celebrated by the flying of the newb Oregon victory flag, which has just been purchased by the Sophomore [ class. The flag is nine feet in length and six feet in width. The upper half is yellow and the lower half green. In the center of the flag is a large “0.” Below it is the word “Victory.” It is the intention to hoist the flag from the flagstaff in front of Villard for three days whenever victory is attained in any branch of athletics. Two hundred and twenty orphans attend the University of Washington. CHAIRMAN OF SOPHQMORE COMMITTEE APPOINTS AIDES O At a business meeting of the deco ration committee for the° Sophomore dance, Poland Geary appointed the following committee to take charge oi the flowers made by the town girls for the .coming event: Miriam Tin ker, chairman; Myrtle Tobey and Dor othy Wheeler. Shortly after Thanksgiving a day will be appointed for the girls to as semble at the Y. W. C. A. Bungalow and make the decorations. The faculty at Colorado State Col lege has sanctioned the so-called new dances that have been accepted by the best society. Only the one re quest is made, “don’t rag.” OREGON SENDS PATGHED-OP TEAM AGAINST AGGIE CONSTELLATION FOUR POSITIONS ON ELEVEN ARE YET INDEFINITE,BUT DOPE MAY PROVE FALLACIOUS IN VIEW OF "GOBS OF FIGHT’ AND TRADITION * Name, Position Age * Weist, left end .22 * Beckett, left tackle ...21 * Snyder, left guard ....21 * Risley, center ._.20 * Cook, right guard ....2S * Philbin, right tackle ..20 * Cornwall, right end ..21 * Huntington, quarter ..22 * L.

Oregon will be represented by a sad ly disorganized team against O. A. C. tomorrow. Even Coach Bezdek is not certain what line-up he will start against the Aggies. The positions which are filled are: Fulback, Bryant; right half, Parsons; left half, Crowel; left end, Weist; left tackle, Beckett; left guard, Snyder; right guard, Cook. The other places are problematical. Either Sharpe or Huntington will run the team. Sharpe has been im proving of late, and” ‘Bez” has been using him at the pivot quite regularly of late. One of several combinations may be used to fill up the line. Cossman at center, Philbin at tackle and Hen dricks at right end is one. Then Phil bin may take a turn at passing the ball and Cossman or Powrie would fiU his tackle berth. The end that is vacated by the ac tion of the local Athletic Council in declaring Cornwall ineligible on ac count of his playing with Washington JefTerson last year, is the hardest to fill. One of three men will grab the prize, Hendricks, Mitchell or Powrie. No matter which combination the chief mentor chooses, there will be a noticeable lacking of finesse in the team work. The personnel of the team has been changed so often of late that smooth work could not possibly be attained. Two things are favorable to the Lemon and Yellow, however. Trainer Hayward says that the men who start that game will be in good condition. The other factor that can be placed upon the resource side is the tradition and the old Oregon spirit. The atti tude of Captain Johnnie Parsons may be considered typical. “We may be out of luck, but I'm going to play a (Continued oh page 4.)
