A. C. Team. TUERCK IS THE ONLY MAN OUT Varsity Will Be Outweighed 7 i of 8 Pounds per Man; Aggies Also Speedy. (By Chester Fee) Kincaid field, according to Bill Hayward’s world famous words, is a fine place for ducks. The rain of the past weeks has certainly brought about a great transformation, and the more it rains, the slimmer are Oregon’s chances against the heavier Aggie team. The varsity team went through its practice last night on the basketball floor of the gymnasium, and very lit- j tie could be accomplished under the circumstances. As far as football goes, the men couldn’t do more than juggle the ball, and wear the ex pression of football players; and neither one of these qualities counts much against such a hard-fighting, line-plunging organization as the Aggies. Bill Tuerck is out of the game, with a couple of broken arcbes, and his chances to slip in are about as good as they would be in a land where there are no banana peelings and cement sidewalks. He is get ting better slowly, and is able to get around without any noticeable im pediment, but walking is not play ing football. The other men are in fair shape, and jvill be ready to step into the ring at the tap of the gong and fight for all they are worth, but everything seems to be against the team, even the betting. But I have heard of greater odds being overcome by Va rious teams throughout the country. If you have paid#my attention to recent games you will know that Yale, with odds of four to one against it, defeated the Princeton team 13 to 7. And the University of California, after being in Wash ington’s powerful grip, 72 to 0, came back Saturday and held Wash ington on its own grounds through out three quarters, 0 to 0. We shall be outweighed at least seven or eight pounds per man. Con sider the Aggie’s weight, and . the speed with which it is combined, and it is easily to be seen wherein Doc. Stewart has been so successful this year. However, despite all that can be said, there are some things in Ore gon’s favor that will be indetermin able factors, until the last whistle sounds. ASSEMBLY PRE-GAME RALLY The assembly for tomorrow morn- j ing will be in charge of the student body, Lamar Tooze will preside. This will be the customary rally assembly held before the 0. A. C. game. There will be talks by Coach • Bezdek. Trainer Bill Hayward. Wen- j dell Barbour, president of the local alumni association, members of the football team, and the yell leader, Merlin Batley. Bishop Walter Sumner will give a short talk on his views of general sportsmanship. Music will be furnished by the band, orchestra and glee clubs. Praises of Dance Sound Over Wire Conversational Friends Tell Tale of Marvelous Doings November 20. (Heard on the ’phone).' “Is that uproar the Juniors are perpetrating for the night after the massacre of O. A. C. going to be a formal affair, Belshazzar?” “No, Sennacherib, it is to be the acme of informalness.” “Is it going to be a mighty crawl?” “Yea, even as the defeat of the hordes of orange and black shall be a terrible rout, so shall turmoil of the evening be an upheaval the like of which has never yet been seen.” “And what, O thrice wise one, must we give up to enjoy the blessing of such a festival?” “The damage, interlocutor, is neg ligible. It amounteth to but a semi plunk, the price of five games of pool.” “Will there be any queens there?” “Oh, Aloysius, vast quantities of pulcritude will gambol on the glassy maple of the polished planks.” “Then, for all in all, the track meet will be a mighty lope?” “Even as the brigades of Doc Stew art shall melt before the sun of Ore gon’s consuming advance, so shall cruel care fade in the ball room, and even as Oregon is better than O. A. C., so shall this be better than all other canters.” FIVE TO BE INITIATED Sigma Delta Olii Pledges Will Sliow AVortli by Editing—but^ft'esli men Do Work Five initiates are to be admitted to the sacred mysteries of Sigma Delta Chi, the honorary journalism fraternity, Friday. Three different assignment sheets are to be posted for the reporters, on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings—all for the eight-page paper which is supposedly to show the journalistic abilities of Dean Collins, ’10, Merlin Batley, Harry Kuck, Milton Stoddard, and Max Sommer. In former years the neophytes have toiled and slaved, and have pa trolled the campus in dress suits, gathering material for their edition of the Emerald; but these lordly ones are not only working the regu lar staff—they are overworking it. Dean Collins, having already proved hig fitness, will probably get off with contributing some special poetry for the occasion, instead of assisting with the regular work. “A few' extra stunts may be pulled off this year,” said Fred Dunbar, president of the local chapter, yes terday. ‘‘Anyway, we will have the dress-suit performance. You may look for the evening dress on the campus most any day. The initia tion ceremonies will take place Fri day afternoon, and we will have din ner afterward at the Hotel Osburn.” But in spite of Dunbar’s statement, it looks as though the budding news papermen have cut out a soft job for themselves and are to sit serenely at the copy desk while freshmen scour the campus for news. If W. S. C. could schedule a game with Harvard, the points would be pretty close, and some few million easterners would open their eyes. TRIP SOUTH FRAMED FOR OREGON’S NINE Bezdek May Also Have Been Responsible for California Comeback Saturday. When Coach Bezdek and Mana ger A. R. Tiffany went to Los An geles with the team over a week ago they had more on their minds than the mere winning and financing of the game with Southern California. The news leaked out a week before the struggle that they were planning an invasion of the sunny south next spring for the varsity baseball team. Barring hitches that might arise, Oregon will play a series of six games in California during spring vacation. Stanford, California, and St. Mary’s college of Oakland, will be taken on for two games each. This trip will take place of the usual one northward to Seattle which was an annual affair on Oregon’s schedule. More of Coach Bezdek’s doings while in California were brought to light after Berkeley all but tied Washington in Seattle last Saturday. It appears that Bez quietly slipped over to Berkeley on the return trip from Los Angeles and helped Coach Jimmy Schaeffer revive his football machine after Washington had mas sacred it, 72 to 0. The little time Bez spent with them was more than paid for as evi denced by the closeness of Saturday’s score. Coach Bezdek had a good idea of the situation for he was over heard to say in a fanning bee after Saturday morning’s practice) that Washington would never beat Cali fornia again by a score of 72 to 0. Many Major in Commerce. Over ten per cent of the entire student body of the University is majoring in the school of commerce, according to J. Frederick Thorne. Saturday the total registration for the University was 770 with 80 ma joring in the school of Commerce, which has only three per cent of the teaching force of the institution. The number given does not Include sen iors who are taking work In this department but who are not majors owing to the fact that students may not change their major subject in their senior year. FORENSIC BODY SUBMITS QUESTION FOR DEBATE “That the United States Should Maintain its Navy Above Third Rank in Fighting Efficiency,” is the ques tion that was submitted by the Fo rensic council in their meeting on Saturday for the Coast Debate Lea gue this year. “That the United States Should11 Adopt a Policy of Building up and Maintaining it’s Navy Above Third ' Rank in Fighting efficiency,” is the wording desired by Stanford while Washington wants the resolution sim plified to “That the,Present Military Force of tlie United States Should Be Substantially Increased.” Cloyd Dawson, secretary of the Council, said that “either Oregon’s question or Stanford’s will be chosen. To my mind Oregon’s choice will un doubtedly be selected.” The first contest of the season will take place on the last Friday in March when Oregon will meet Stan ford here. ‘THAT-A OLD FIGHT’ STARTS FRIDAY NIGHT Rally to Start at Kappa Sigma House; Then Down Town and Back to Villard. (Walter S. Kenuon) Rattle around in your old medi icine chest, rake up all your double strength pep, throw ’er In the Ore gon melting pot and Help brew the old Oregon figlit that will jinx O. A. C. The pep pot will simmer at the rally Friday night and will be serv ed on Kincaid field Saturday after noon. “We are up against a tough prop osition,” said Yell T-ieader Merlin Bat ley. “We must have every Oregon student back of us—man, woman and child. The team needs you, Oregon needs you. Come out!” The rally will start from the Kap-. pa Sigma house at 6:30. Headed by the band, the line will march down Eleventh avenue to Willamette, picking up sections of rooters on Its way. The serpentine will march four abreast this time, instead of in a , single line, as formerly. The frosh | will light the way with colored lights t and Roman candles. If enough of j the alumni are here, then an alumni section will be added to the line. A few yells on Willamette an'd then the bunch will head for Villard, where the rally will be continued. j The stunts put on by the various i fraternities will be short and snappy, interspersed by terse speeches by | Coach Bezdek, Bill Hayward, Cap-: tain Anse Cornell, President Camp bell and others. After these events are completed, the meeting will be adjourned to Kincaid field, to witness the confla gfation prepared laboriously by mem bers of the freshman class. The Triple A girls will decorate Villard hall for the rally, and Louise Bailey, head of the Women’s league, will have charge of decorating the ! grandstands and bleachers. j “I want every rooter on the field j an hour before the game,” said Bat- ! ley. "Oregon rooters will sit on the northeast bleachers, next to the grand stand. O. A. C. rooters will be stationed across the field. I want every Oregon rooter to wear a lemon yellow rooter’s hat for the game. We ' must have some semblance of uni formity.” According to Yell Leader Batley, not much rooting will be done at the rally. All the noise will be saved for the game. HOCKEY TEAM NOT WELL BALANCED, SAYS COACH The University hockey girls, who are to play the O. A. C. co-eds in the first game of the season on Saturday, Nov. 20, Homecoming Day, at 9 a. m., are not so well balanced as a team as last year’s line-up, accord ing to Miss Frieda Goldsmith, hockey coach. They play fairly well, individually, Miss Goldsmith says, but do not work together. They have improved rapid ly in the last two weeks, however, and the forward line is pretty strong. The complete line-up cannot be de cided upon definitely until about Thursday, the coach said, - but the following have been showing up well: Furuset, goal; Van Zante and War ner, fullbacks; Bell, Hunter and Walker, halfbacks; Soderstrom and Cox, wings; Crosby and Hart, in sides; Murray, center forward. BiU’sScienceCan’t Beat Mai de Mer Multnomah Bulletin Tells Tales on Bill Hayward, Erst while Seaman. Bill Hayward, trainer of University of Oregon athletes, doesn't give ad vice nowadays on how to ward off sea-sickness. The reason why has just become known, according to the Winged Bulletin, the weekly publica tion of the Multnomah club in Port land. Before the M. A. A. C. track team boarded the steamer for Portland at San Francisco last summer, Bill gave his men copious directions about coming to him the moment they felt qualms. “I’ll fix you up,” said Sturdy Bill. “I’ve got the best littlo sea-sickness remedy in the world.” There came a time, as the steamer bucked into a long northwest swell, when one athlete remembered this in junction and sought out Bill. It soon became hide and seek, for Bill had disappeared. Other athletes joined the search. At length they found him. Bill, his head down, was leaning over the rail on the lee side. NOTICE.

They will then proceed to the dedication exercises at Johnson Hall, and afterward to the luncheon on the campus. The faculty has ar ranged with the student committee to bear the expense of this.

Bryan, of Washington state coliege, was placed in nomination for secretary of the department of argiculture in some future cabinet by Dr. Henry Suzzallo, during an assembly meeting at the university last week.
