“IT CAN’T BE DONE”
Whatever happens at Corvallis to
day, Oregon will never be beaten.
That sounds like a paradox, but it
isn’t.
The Aggies never have beaten an
Oregon team, and they never will,
so long as Oregon remains Oregon
and O. A. C. remains 0. A. C. True,
they have drawn the long end of the
score—three times, to be exact, in 20
years. And they may outpoint us to
day, although that supposition is open
to doubt.
But no matter what the odds or
■ what the score, no Oregon team has
ever been outfought by an Aggie
team, and it is safe to predict that
none ever will. On the other hand,
time after time an Oregon team,
without a chance in thb world, ac
cording to the “dope,” has surmount
ed the impossible and won on superior
gameness and light.
Take the first smearing of the
dope, which occurred way back in
1896. Oregon had lost the year be
fore in the first game ever played be
tween the two institutions. She came
back the next fall and hung a score
of 44 to 0 on the Aggies. Back in
1906 O. A. C. had perhaps the strong
est team in her history, with Walker,
Dolan, Root, Pilkington, and numer
ous stars of equal luminosity. The
game was played in Eugene, and the
betting was four and five to one
against Oregon—and there was some
betting in those days, too. But Ore
gon refused to lose, and Gordon
Moores saved the day with one of his
cross country runs.
Then there was the 1908 game. The
Aggies took us down to Portland in
the hope of trimming our light, in
experienced eleven with great gusto
before the Rose City folks. Instead
of which Coach Forbes’ near-Fresh
man team played all around the Or
ange eleven, and Moullen’s two field
goals clinched tho argument.
These are games which the old-tim
ers love to play over by the fireside.
But most of us who are here can re
member the two Albany contests
which have taken place since the two
institutions made up and fell on each |
o otlyjr’s necks. Two years ago all the
newspapers wrapped up the* g>e and !
delivered It to the Aggies in advance,
just as they are doing now. but old i
Fate, the original joker, changed the !
packages. Oregon won by only three !
points, but our score should have been i
larger. And last year Bezdek’s team, i
blanked by 10 points until the final
•quarter, in a superb rally, tied the!
score and had things all its own way I
at the finish.
Today we meet Stewart’s team in its '
own backyard. Apparently we are
outclassed. Not content with seeing
four regular players, two of them
backfield stars, removed by injuries
and sickness, the Doctor has sprung >
his protests at the eleventh hour and
two more players are stricken from
the list.
And so the Aggies need no longer
worry about Anse Cornell and Tick
Malarkey and Tom Cornwall and Jake
Rsiley and Lyle Bigbee and the rest.
But what we claim is this: Take
them all out, and still we have a team,
for any 11 Oregon men can give the
Aggies a finish fight.
And that’s why we say they can’t
beat us.

• WHO’S WHO AT OREGON *
* When “Doc” Read, in the first *
* football rally of the year, said *
* that in case of any possible de- *
* feats this year, Oregon would *
* at least have someone to pray *
* for her—Parsons—he beat us, *
* the Who’s Who column, to a most *
* brilliant idea. In the journalistic *
* vernacular, we were scooped. *
* To begin our biography, John- *
* nie has passed the larger part of *
* his life in Alaska—Fairbanks, to *
* be exast. He claims membership *
* in the Loyal Order of the Arctic *
* Brotherhood, of which “Doc” Cook *
* and Peary, of Polar fame, are *
* charter members, and he is a *
* full-fledged “soi^r-dough*’ (apjbl *
* ogies to Bob Service), having *
* seen the ice come and go out of *
* the Yukon. *
* Johnnie is a graduate of Wash- *
* ington High, Portland, although *
* he put in time at Salem High and *
* Lincoln High, Seattle. He man- *
* aged to get by his high school *
* profs for a touch-down—we mean *
* diploma—and entered Oregon un- *
* der the 1916 colors. *
* Johnnie’s athletic prowess may *
* be judged when it is known that *
* he has won “O’s” in football *
* and track for two years running *
* ,(we should say jumping when re- *
* ferring to track); has been a *
*■ member of the mythical All- *
* Northwest football team for two *
* years; is captain of this year’s *
* football team; and a member of *
* the Athletic Council. *

Fight Is Subject
Of Students Song
Oh, hark the bands a-playing,
See the flare. The horns all toot.
Gather round the bonfire, boys,
And ROOT, ROOT, ROOT.
The leader now is speaking.
“Come. We’ll fight them hard as hell;
Fight on field and sidelines,
So YELL, YELL, YELL.
The men will scrap and struggle;
We must help in everything;
Jump and show your spirit,
And SING, SING, SING.
For now it’s O. A. C., boys, now it’s
0. A. C.,
We never crab because we’re beat, but
fight the enemy,
i Because the team’s the best we have;
they fight and fight,
i For they are men of Oregon. “Bez”
says, “Go hard, but right.”
; With three men out of sick beds and
No. 6.

O
After the game
feed the goat a
MALTED
MILK
seven men laid out,
’Twas strange that ten to nothing
was not indeed a rout.
Forget our past defeats, leave matters
as they be,
For now it’s 0. A. C., boys, now it’s
O. A. C.
It’s on to 0. A. C., boys, it’s on to 0.
A. C.
They claim they have our BILLY
GOAT tied safely to a tree;
Because that wetee the >under dogs,
with nothing else to do,
But grimly swallow the defeat which
they will give us too,
So climb aboard the train, my boys,
into the special cars,
With hearts that palpitate with fear,
and nerves prepared for jars;
We’ll watch them feed our little Goat
on ciphers and pink tea,
It’s on to 0. A. C., boys, it’s on to
O. A. C.
We’ll go to O. A. C., boys, we’ll go to
O. A. C.
A cheer from every throat, my boys,
whose-ever it may be;
We’ll cheer our little coach, my men,
a cheer so loud and long
That all will have to listen among
that motley throng.
And send him then into the game, to
fight as bull-dogs do;
For they are men of Oregon; they’re
men as men should be.
We’ll go to 0. A. C., boys, we’ll go
to O. A. C.
Some good old “pep” and “ginger;”
Spirit unconfined,
Makes the Aggies know we wait,
Not BLIND, BLIND, BLIND.
We’ll go upon the gridiron,
Eager, full of mad delight,
Holding one word in our hearts:
It’s FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT.
May two words come unto us
When the awful fray is done,
Let them be, 0 God of Hosts,
We’ve WON, WON, WON.
••••
We’re
For Oregon
And we believe in the Oregon Spirit.
The boys still ° have the “old fight,”
and if you are behind them today
they will bring home the bacon..
