Varsity’s Machine Rolls Idaho 19 to 7 NIGHTIES AND OSKIES REINSTILL “0" SPIRIT AT RECORD PEPFEST On Eve of Oregon-ldaho Game, Pepper and Tobasco Prevail in Superabundance. SORORITIES FEED ROOTERS President Campbell, Coach “Bez” and “Bill’' Speak, 3 Artists Receive Prizes. (By Walter S. Kennon.) The Pied Piper of Hamlin visited Eugene about bedtime Friday even ing, when 300 pajama and other va ried nocturnal-clad Oregon students were piped from their homes and serpentined in a writhing line from campus to Willameete street—to sorority houses and back. Oregon ldaho football game on the morrow occasioned the hue and cry. Fusillades of rah! rah! Oregon hurtled forth volleys of Oregon spirit, supported by heavier cannonades of oskies, locomotives and “spell Ore gon,” at every street corner. The ghostly line was flanked by outriders of clowns, black-face com edians, ballet girls and the varfe gated combination of costumes in vented by the ingenious college stu dent competing for the prizes offer ed. A regular progressive dinner was inaugurated on the return march, when the crowding, jostling stream of Oregon pep serpentined its path through the sorority houses. At every ‘house treats of all-day suckers, kisses—candy of course—big red ap ples, hot dogs and sandwiches, pop corn balls, lemon drops or peanuts were handed out to the clutching hands of the ravenous rooters. At the conclusion of the parade a big noise contest was held in Vil lard hall. Here the women of Ore gon proved their loyalty by turning out en masse to the support of the rooters. President Campbell, Coach Bezdek and Bill Hayward spoke to the students concerning the fighting spirit of 'the football team. Yell Leader Batley took advantage of the opportunity to give some much needed rooter practice, and icheer after cherr almost lifted the roof from old Villard. The following prizes were award ed: First prize—Fred Moxley, for most unique costume, two tickets to Eu gene theatre, tonight. Second prize—Burney Corbitt, and Ross Giger, one box of candy. The judges were: Lamar Tooze, Cloyd Dawson and Merlin Batley. Yell Leader Batley expressed his appreciation of the way the girls aid ed in instilling the “pep.” “I am proud of them,” said the musical noise king. James Wray, veteran crew coach of Harvard University, has been dis charged at a meeting of the Univer sity athletic committee. Wray has controlled the destinies of Harvard crews for eleven years. During this time he has turned out seven win ning crews over their rivals, Yale. #####*####******* ♦ Phi Sigma Elects ♦ * CHARLES COLLIER. * # H. B. BARXHARDT. « * « Populace Plea Stays Patriot Peter Crockett, Erstwhile Ora tor But Now Pedagogue, Hearkens to Petitions. What, Ho!!—a false alarm? Staunch those salty, scalding tears, O weeping co-ed, lift up your eyes to a new hope, to a commuting of your sentence. For Peter Crocket, renouncing the warlike tendencies of his illus trious ancestor, Davy, choosing to tarry yet awhile among the cheese factories of Tillamook, renouncing his plan of hurrying to add his heart's blood to the crimson flood that is slaking the thirsty sod of Europe, will not leave for the war until the first of the glad new year, at the very earliest. Prevailed upon by the earnest plea of the population of the fair city where he sits in pedagogical splendor and where the fond mothers bring their babes out to see him as he passes to and fro about his task of bringing other little ones nearer to the light of fairest knowledge, he will remain there a few more moons —not idle, but studying diligently —so that he may secure a commis sion in the army of Great Britain— that he may become at once a master of men—an officer. There yet is hope that Peter and his glorious highland brogue will not be sacrificed on the altar of Moloch. WILLAMETTE PRESIDENT TO SPEAK AT VESPERS Combined Men’s and Women’s Glee Clubs Will Sing Anthems, With Incidental Solos The first series of Sunday vespers will be held tomorrow afternoon at 4 o’clock in Villard hall. Dr. Carl Gregg Doney, the new president of Willamette University will deliver an address on “The Effect of the War on the Religious Situation in Europe.” Before coming west. Dr. Doney oc cupied the presidency of the West Virginia Wesleyan University, in Buchannan, where he was direct or of the Y. M. C. A. in that state. He is a Phi Beta Kappa and a mem ber of Beta Theta Pi and Pi Delta Phi. While in Eugene he will be the guest of Dr. Wilkinson, pastor of the First Methodist church, and of the local chapter of Beta Theta Pi. Fire Damages Engineering Building Spontaneous combustion of oil soaked rags beneath a pile of shav ings caused a fire in the repair building Thursday morning that en dangered the civil engineering build ing and the surrounding frame struc tures. The fire had made no head way before its discovery by Robert Fay, a near-by resident, who notified H. M. Fisher, campus foreman, and aided him in extinguishing it with the campus chemical tanks. A slight damage to the floor and stairway was the only loss. War news will now be received by wireless at the University of Kansas regularly every day. The new sta ! tion at the University is in direct I communication with the wireless ! plant at Sayville. L. I., and they have | contracted to send the westerners the I latest news from the front. I AMENDMENTS WILL BE BALLOTED WEDNESDAY Polls Will Be Open in Villard Hall From 10 to 2 O’clock. CHANGE MADE IN NUMBERS Voting On Measures Will Be By Title. Text Will Appear in Tuesday’s Emerald. Voting in the student body election next Wednesday will be done by the title of the amendments and resolu tions only. The complete ballot of amendments will be published in the Emerald Tuesday night, with the cor responding numbers that wall appear on the ballots, according to Fred Dun bar, member of the executive com* niittee who has charge of the elec tion. “Owing to the length of the bal lot, if all the amendments, of which there are 16. were printed, it has been thought advisable to place only the titles on the ballot,” said Dun bar today. “By reading their Em eralds the students will be able to decide beforehand and the marking of the ballot will be a simple matter. “Another change that will be tried out will be an extra number at the tops of the ballot, which will be 100 and 101. If a student wishes to vote a straight “yes” ticket, he will mark X between 100 and “Yes.” If a straight “No” ticket, between 101 and “No.” This will greatly simplify the work of counting the votes for the judges. “However, care should be used in not marking the numbers 100 and 101, and others on the ballot. In such case it will be necessary to throw the vote out. “The polls will open at 10 o’clock and will remain open through the noon hour, until 2 o'clock, which will afford everybody ample time to cast their ballots,” said Dunbar. Congressman Helped Establish the Oregon Emerald While at University. Kirkon N. (Pat) McArthur, a graduate of Oregon, and now a mem ber of congress from the third dis trict of Oregon will be the assembly speaker on October 27.

Fully 10,000 people are expected to visit the University during homecom ing week. Some houses are practically as sured of two or even three times as many visitors as they can take care of. This brings up the housing prob lem. It is probable that a canvass will be made among townspeople to find rooms for the visitors. At the meeting of the student council October 5, chairmen were chosen from this organization to head committees selected from the whole student body to aid in home (Continued on Page Four) LECTURES WILL BE OPEN ! — | Pres. Campbell Announces Art and History Courses—Pro gram Open to All. Lectures open to the general pub lic will be a feature of intellectual life at the University of Oregon this year to an extent never before ap proached. The program for the fall months has not yet been made up, but two complete courses and a con siderable number of individual lec tures were announced by President P. L. Campbell today. A new departure is seen in a | course on Modern Art in Relation to j the Movements of Modern Ideals and j Modern Life. This will extend I throughout a greater portion of the I year, and will include lectures by i Prof. Ellis F. Lawrence on "Archi j tecture as an Art,” Professor J. J.

Dr. Straub is fathering a new scheme now to provide comfort for those men who are wont to stand at the corner of Kincaid field, between classes and brighten up their ideas by inhaling deeply of their favorite brand of cigarettes. “The leaves are falling and it would be a shame if these boys were compelled to stand out there in the rain without any protection whatso ever,’’ says the doctor. “I propose that the sororities hold another progressive dinner to raise sufficient funds for the erection of a building for the use of these boys. “The building should contain a large fireplace, plenty of lounging chairs, ash trays, tobacco humidors and in fact anything to make the poor boys comfortable.’’ He also suggests that a sign "For University Students Only" be hung over the door, so that none of the members of the Eugene llible school will be likely to make the place their favorite hangout.

Monday afternoon in the faculty’s locker room of the gymnasium. Last season’s captain, Neal Ford, will not be hack, having enterted Stanford University, this semester. According to Coach Dyment, to whom is credited the introduction of tile game here, the prospects for a winning aggregation are poor. Only five of last year’s lineup are turning out for practice. Two are devoting their time to football and will not attempt soccer until the end of the moleskin season. So pessimism per vades the soccer camp and ali the up to-date dope is of a rather blue va riety. The would-be squad now consists of 24, very few of whom have been picked from the freshmen. Twenty five possessing a quality of stick-to itiveness are needed, so as to insure enough material for two teams. Triple A Plans Hike and Feed Flans for a hike, followed by a “wienie roast" on Skinner’s butte, were made by the girls of the Triple A at their meeting last Wednesday, at the Kappa Alpha Theta house. The girls will meet at the bungalow, providing the weather is good, at 4:30 i>. m., next Wednesday, October 20. and will start from there promptly. Idaho football men spending the week-end at the Phi Delta Theta are: Captain Brown, Roriger, West, Mc Cormack, Beatty, Lorr'ason, Bingle, Morrison, Keave and Haves.

The new style of play and less be©f was responsible for the great playing ot’ the boys. The back field lined up on a formation every play, at no time using the reg ular attack. Although the time be tween plays was slow, owing to the newness of the formations, when in play the team displayed that sought for speed. Idaho played similar ball, but did not put in the spirit and fight that the Oregon team had, although at times they displayed brilliancy. The Oregon defense was too much for them, however. , First Quarter Captain Brown kicked off for Idaho. Huntington returned 15 yards, and carried the ball 15 yards.
