“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

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.

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.

TEAM WILL LACKFINESSE
Risley and Cornwall Are Latest Crip
ples, but the Under Dog Has ’
Often Won
By Harry Kuck.
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
