SOGGERITES TO KICK
BALL WITH WINGED ‘M
First of Exchange Games to B(
Played in Portland
December 19.
(By Captain Jimmy Sheehy)
Interest in soccer is increasing ev
ery day. Coach Dyment announced
last Wednesday that he had closed
negotiations with Manager Macken
sie of Multnomah club for the first
of a series of two games to be played
in Portland December 19. A return
contest will be staged in Eugene dur
ing the latter part of January or the
first Saturday in February.
“Manager Mackensie told me the
club would have a great team and
that they fully expected to trim us
this season,” sai'd Mentor Dyment
after returning from a recent visit to
Portland. The winged “M” team will
remain almost intact from last year
and is composed largely of Scotch
and English veterans, and recruits
from the interscholastic ranks.
How’ever, the fast, aggressive colleg
ians were able to hold them to two
tie scores last winter, and all but
trimmed them on Kincaid in the final
game.
Soccer practice has been somewhat
interrupted lately due to the fact that
the varsity and freshmen football
teams have forsaken their murky
stamping grounds 'during the recent
deluge for the grass covered base
ball diamond. From now on the soc
cerites will practice every Monday,
'Wednesday and Friday nights. Plans
are being made to utilize the girls’
hockey field for practice after No
vember 20. If 50 men will turn out
two fields will be used.
BEN F. DORRIS, FORMER
REGENT DIES THURSDAY
Ben F. Dorris, for nine years a re
gent of the University, was found
dead in his office Thursday noon.
Death came as he had always wish
ed it, it is stated. He went to his
work Thursday morning apparently
in the best of health. At 11:15 a.
m., the janitor of the White Tem
ple building saw Mr. Dorris sitting
in his chair at the desk, with his hat
on the floor, with his head bent for
ward. Further investigation showed
Mr. Dorris .was dead.
Mr. Dorris was a member of the
board of regents of the University of
Oregon from 1873 to 1882. He was
also a member of the executive com
mittee of the University from 1876
to 1882.
Mr. Dorris had been a resident of
Eugene since 1868. He was born in
Nashville, Tenn., December 18, 1829.
His youth was spent in his native
city. In 1848, when but 19 years of
age, he moved to California, visiting
different cities in that state. He !
later settled in Crescent City, where
he married Miss Cecile Pellet in j
1856.
Two years after he married he
came to Eugene. His brother George
B. Dorris was then a resident of Eu
gene and he sent for him. He had re
sided here continuously since that
time.
His first enterprise in Eugene was
the hardware business. Later he re
sponded to the call of the Eugene
people, and was elected mayor of the
city in 1875. He served as mayor
for two years, being succeeded in
office by his brother, George B. Dor
ris. Ben F. Dorris was again elected
mayor in 1879.
For twenty-two years Mr. Dorris
served as city recorder. He was a i
member of the city council from
1871 to 1873, and was president of

' Game to the last, but completely
outplayed, the fn sh met defeat in
football this morning at the hands of
the spohs. Score was 27 to 7. The
sophs displayed some excellent ivory

and then—but it was now and then
only.

WOMEN WILL PLAY
INTERCLASS BASKETBALL
Interclass basketball games are to
be played between the women of the
University some time before the
Christmas holidays.
“If enough interest and enthusi
asm for basketball is displayed
among the girls this year, there is a
possibility of having intercollegiate
games with O. A. C. and other col
leges next year,” says Esther Furu
set, head of basketball teams.

Aggie-Oregon Allies Meet;
Friendly Pact Is Passed
Representatives of Two Institutions Meet This Afternoon and Decide on
Home-Coining Demonstration—Rooters in Full Strength, Headed by
the Military Hand, Will March on to the Football Field—Aggies
Will Parade in “Unis” and Disprove Supposed Enmity of Colleges
Students’ 1’aot
The undersigned representa
tives of the University of Oregon
and O. A. C. student bodies, in
joint session, have unanimously
agreed that the supposed ill-feel
ing between the two institutions
does not in reality exist; but is
due to a false impression through
out the state, over which the
students of both institutions have
no control, as proof of the friend
ly relations between Oregon and
O. A. 0., we urgently recommend
that the home coming day be ob
served in such a way as to 'dem
onstrate that such a friendly re
lationship does exist.
G. R. HOERNER,
Pres. O. A. C. Student Body.
LAMAR TOOZE,
Pres. Oregon Student Body,
P. K. GREENE,
O. A. C. Cheer Leader,
MERLIN BATLEY,
Oregon Yell Leader,
MAX H. SOMMER,
Editor Emerald.
JOHN M. DOLPH,
Asst. Oregon Yell Leader.
In a conference between represen
tatives of Oregon Agricultural col
lege and the University of Oregon,
resolutions were passed recommend
ing that the obsolete shibboleth of
the animosity between the two in
stitutions be demonstarted an an
achrism by a demonstration of friend
ly relations on home coming celebra
tion, November 20.
The joint session took place early
this afternoon and was noteworthy
on account of the confidence that rep
resentatives of both institution had
in the ability of both institutions to
cealr their names in the eyes of the
state.
It was decided that a means of
showing the true relationship be
tween the two institutions be given
by allowing the O. A. C. rooters to
hold a parade on their arrival in Eu
gene at 1 o’clock next Saturday. It
is fairly certain that this feature of
the program will meet with approval
from the heads of both institutions.
That the Kansas building, now at
the Panama exposition, will be mov
ed to the university campus some
time this winter, to be used as a so
cial room for the women students, is
quite probable.
SENIORS AND JUNIORS
WILL CHASE PIGSKIN
Two teams of football “comeback
ers” will soon be seen on Kincaid
field if the challenge to deadly com
bat hurled at the feet of the seniors
by the juniors is accepted. Presi
dent of the senior class Batley says
that the boys will get together and
see what they can do. The battle
will no doubt be fought according to
the senior leader.
“I can see myself playing a 'dash
ing halfback and I have no doubt
that we can get together a galaxy of
former high school stars that will be
able to cross swords with the jun
iors,” says Batley.
Frank Scaiefe points to the laurels
won in last year’s sophomore-fresh
men game and depends on such stars
as Nelson and Bull with a few others
to hold up their end.
With a few Fatimas between halves
to sustain the players an interesting
game from the spectators’ standpoint
is expected.
GOLF FIRST OF SPORTS TO
RECEIVE APPROPRIATION
At the last meeting of the commit
tee on intra-mural sports $r>0 was ap
propriated for use in fixing up the
proposed golf links on the new ath
letic field. Professor Robert A.
Prescott was appointed to take
charge of this matter. About three
fifths of this amount will be used to
mow the grass. This will be com
pleted by Saturday. The remainder
will be spent in making the holes,
five in number.
A preliminary meeting of those in
terested in golf, both men and wo
men, is called for 4 o’clock Friday
afternoon, November 12, in Profes
sor Prescott’s room in the basement
of Johnson hall.
“I am anxious that all the Univer
sity people interested in this ac
tivity shall report to me at the time,”
said Mr. Prescott. “The links will
be ready for use within the next three
weeks and some definite organization
of the work should be made before
that time, so that the students can
start in playing.
EMERALD EXTRA WILL
APPEAR SATURDAY A. M.
A big special edition of the Emerald
featuring alumni and sports will ap
pear early Saturday morning, Novem
ber 2 0 before the O. A. C. game. It
will be double size and will have all
the football dope and a number of
stories of general interest to the
alumni. The paper will be distribut
ed an the Portland and Corvallis
trains.
Reporters are requested to get their
stories in early so that the paper can
catch the Portland train. The staff
will probably be chosen by that time
and if so will be printed in the spe
cial issue.
Students Juggle;
Librarians Guess
“Want Something Unbound”
Asserts One—and It Wasn’t
a Magazine Either.
“G-27,” said the one of the Uni
versity librarians reminiscently.
“What’s that—signal for a touch
down?” said her friend.
“No, that’s what a freshman girl
shot over the library desk at me the
other day in inquiring for a book.
She said she thought that was all
there was to it. But I got a worse
one than that later. A girl called for
‘something unbound.’
“ ‘Go to the magazine shelves,’ I
says.
“ ‘No, it isn’t there,’ she says.
“ ‘Must be at the bindery then,’ I
says.
“ ‘Oh, no,’ she explained, ‘It’s a
book.’
“We found that what she wanted
was ‘Prometheus Unbound.’ ”
Oregon Agricultural College—
A series of Paramount travel films,
showing scenes in all the South Amer
ican countries, with one reel of com
edy, will be put on once a week by
the Y. M. C. A. during the remainder
of the college year. Admission will
, be free.
Was Like “Beer,”
Who Drank It?
Foamy Glass of Yeast Disap
pears and Chi Omegas Look
for a “Raising” Experience
The Chi Omega’s went biscuitless
to 8 o’clock Wednesday morning. It
wasn’t the cook's fault. She had
made adequate preparation for the
matin repast, but some one drank
the glass of yeast.
The house mother wasn’t guilty,
Leura Jerard and Aline Johnson both
have alibis—they never use it. Who
was it? That’s the mystery. But
wait! We have an inkling—a dark
one!
The girls are on the lookout for a
’’raising" experience, they expect a
“swell” affair, they surreptitiously
watch each other lor signs of Inward
agitation, but. they overlook one
thing. rlhe yeast was foamy from
fermentation! In the dark it resem
bled a German “schooner.”
Erna Petzold is a Chi Omega;
Erna Petzold is president of the
German club.
Erna Petzold is also of German de
scent?
WOULD ADD TO GINGER
Y. W. O. A. Plans Big Feed for Inte
rior nml Bouquets for Exterior
of Alumni nnd Students.
Three thousand sandwiches en
closing 75 pounds of ham; 5 0 pounds
of coffee, and a good-sized bunch of
doughnuts is the total of what the
Y. W. C. A. plans to cajole the home
comers into putting away before and
after the game, November 20. Be
sides edibles, the Y. W. C. A. will
handle yellow chrysanthemums, de
scribed by the girls as “fluffy, long
stemmed, and nearly as big as pie
plates.” The purpose is to convince
students and alumni that a bouquet
in the hand and a sandwich on the
interior adds to natural ginger and
loyalty.
These commodities will be sold
from decorated booths, attended by
relays of girls. One booth will be
near the railroad on Eleventh street
and probably two others will be on
Kincaid field. With the possible ex
ception of the coffee, the Y. W’s sup
plies will be ordered through local
firms.
Orders are being taken for the
chrysanthemums even now. Single
blossoms sell for 2 5 cents. In large
orders, as for table use, they are
cheaper.
The Y. M. and Y. W. are co-operat
ing on the home-coming day sale.
The men will handle pennants and
arm bands, in place of flowers.

i HOME-COMING PLANS
NEARING COMPLETION
Alma Mater Day Enthuses the
Whole State and Will Be
Eugene’s “Biggest Day.”
“EVERYBODY HAPPY” IS AIM
0. A. 0. Officials Meet With
Committee on Details of Co
operation of Institutions.
Alumni from every part of the
state are planning to return to their
alma mater for home coming day.
President Prince L. Campbell
spent two days in Portland this
week, and he says that the alumni
with whom he talked are enthusias
tiee over the home coming idea and
that almost all of them will be on
hand for the festivities.
“The railroad company has ar
ranged to add a special car to one of
the special trains out of Baker, Ore
gon, away in the eastern part of the
state," said Graduate Manager A. R.
Tiffany. “When the old ‘grads’ who
are in the far corners of the state
plan to come in for this affair, It cer
tainly shows that they are back of
the school and that they are still in
terested although not now in actual
attendance.’’
The University band will meet ev
ery special train and will welcome
the alumni home with Oregon music
and yells.
The Eugene Commercial club has
offered its rooms for the use of the
University alumni and friends during
the week-end.
The Eugene Automobile club has
promised that 100 autos will be avail
able on Saturday to convey the
“grads” from the trains. On Sun
day, through the kindness of Rev
A. M. Spangler, the alumni will be
driven over the town and around the
campus, sometime between 10 and
11 a. m., previous to the church serv
ices. If it is fine weather, the com
bined glee clubs will give a concert
In the open air on the campus at this
hour. If it rains, this concert will be
held1 in Villard hall.
The Commercial club is behind a
movement to decorate the town. Co
operating with the local alumni, they
will carry out an elaborae scheme
of decoration in the business section.
Streamers in the colors of both col
leges will be used.
Merlin Hatley Is working up the
details for the rally Friday night.
“Every fellow must have a rooter’s
hat for the game,” said Hatley. “The
parade on Friday night will start at
7 o’clock sharp from the men’s dor
mitory. The line of march will be
through the downtown district and
up to the athletic field. The pur
pose of the serpentine is to arouse
spirit and not to tiro the fellows out.
It will be short and not tiresome or
hard on the fellow’s voices.”
There is some talk of having the
bonfire before the rally, Instead of
immediately afterward, as has pre
viously been the case. This has not
been definitely decided upon. If it
should be held before the stunts at
Villard, it is planned to have the ser
pentiners reach the fire when it is
at its height. I>ast year the towns
people complained of having to wait
until too late for the blaze, and the
committee is considering this change
in the order of the rally.
At Villard there will be speeches
by Coach Bezdek, Trainer Bill Hay
ward, Captain Cornell, members of
the team, Regent Ray Goorich, and
other alumni present. Every man’s
organization will put on a stunt, as
usual. This year the girls have
planned a stunt, which will also be
