AT RECORD PEPFEST
On Eve of Oregon-ldaho Game,

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.

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

or of the Y. M. C. A. in that state.

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

I latest news from the front.

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.
He established the Oregon Weekly
known now as the Emerald, and was
known for his support of athletics.
Ha was manager of the track team,
assistant manager of football and at
one time played football
It happened that on a return trip
from California with the football
team, that the Ashland people
w'anted a game with Oregon, and ow
ing to the fact that some of them
were badly bruised up, Pat, the as
sistant manager, who had never
played football, was substituted, be
cause of his “beef.” He played end
but nobody could have told whether
he was playing for Ashatan 1 or Ore
gon, as he played all over the field
McArthur was one of the nine mer
who founded the Si^ma Nu fraternitj
in Eugene.

Tiffany, graduate manager of the
student body. Lamar Tooze has
charge of their distribution to fra

They will probably be ready Mon

use on letters.
Fully 10,000 people are expected to
visit the University during homecom

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.

| 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

“Nicottriers' Rest”
Is Straub's Dream
Progressive Dinner Proposed to
Start Fund For Lounging
Room of Inhalers of Fumes.
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.

SOCCER PROSPECTS BLUE
REPORTS COACH DYMENT
Lack of Material ami Loss of Expe
rienced Men Aggravate the
Situation
Election of captain for this year’s
soccer team will take place at 3 p. m.
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.

Oregon had the edge on Idaho in
©very department of the game, and
won 19-7 today. 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.
Alter making several plays for yard
age, Huntington passed successfully
to Mitchell for 2 5 yards, and the
ball was Oregon’s on the 3-yard line.
On the next play it was put over by
Huntington, who missed goal. Score,
6-0.
Monteith kicked off to Brown,
who returned 10 yards. After try
ing to make yardage, Idaho kicked
45 outside. Tuerck made 10 yards
around end and Huntington added
25 on the other side. Oregon pen
alized 15 yards for holding. Team
marched for 4 0 yards. Huntington
attempted a place kick and failed.
Idaho’s ball on 20-yard line. Ore
gon penalized 5 yards for offside.
Idaho penalized 5 yards offside.
Idaho kicks and Monteith runs back
10 yards. Oregon fumbles. Idaho
recovers and Brown makes 10 yards
on first play. Oregon held on fourth
down and Idaho did not make the
required foot. Monteith makes 15
yards, but Oregon penalized 15 for
holding. Monteith knocked out.
Returns to game. Huntington makes
15 yards around left end. Beckett
kicked 60 yards to 1-yard line, where
Tegart caught the runner. Idaho
kicks to Monteith, who drops but re
covers ball. End of first quarter.
Score, 6-0, Oregon.
Second Quarter
Oregon made a touchdown imme
diately on three line bucks for 5
yards and a forward pass from Hun
tington to Tegart. Huntington
kicked goal. Score, 13-0, Oregon.
Oregon kicks off. Idaho returns 15
yards. Oregon penalized 5 yards.
