GAME Western Gridiron Men May Oc cupy Places on Camp’s All Star Mythical Team. W. S. C. RATED ABOVE PAR East and West Will Meet Fre quently in the Future Ac cording to Dopester. When the Michigan Aggies and the Oregon Aggies staged their party at East 'Lansing on October 30, there was a new light cast over the whole realm of the gridiron sport. The west proved to the east that they could meet them and could also win. By this one game, the status of football in the northwest was raised 100 per cent, and the first direct result of this conflict will be that every team on the coast will schedule at least one and probably more games with those who dwell in the orient (past the Rockies or beyond the Mississipi). The upstart of this game has been that W. :S. C., the best team of the north west, and Brown, an exceptionally strong non-conference college of the east, will play a game at Pasadena on the first of C. has another game scheduled, with Syracuse University. It is to be played in Portland, December 1. This eastern team is reported to be a heavy weight aggregation, with an average around 190 pounds. In past years Walter Camp has been picking his All-American teams from the far-eastern teams, verey rarely includ ing any men from the big nine, or mid dle western conference, and never lias a man from the coast been on the imag inary team. A few men of the Pacific coast teams have been mentioned in his resume, but they never got any further than a simple mention. But this year he wil either have to show better judgment and consider western men, or his All-American team v will be branded as bunk. If you are a lightning calculator, or have an adding machine at hand, we will let some figures do the rest. Take the University of Michigan for the base: Michigan. 0 Mich. Aggies..24 Michigan. 7 Cornell .34 Michigan. 7 Syracuse .14 This puts Cornell about 28 points bet ter than Michigan. O. A. C.20 Mich. Aggies.. 0 W. S. C.29 O. A. C.0 This gives W. S. C. 49 points over Michigan, or a three touchdown lead over Cornell. Harvard beat Princeton.10—0 Utile repeated the trick.13—7 Brown beat Yale. 3—0 Harvard beat Brown.I. ...10—7 But Cornell has beaten both Yale and Princeton, and are supposed to be the strongest team in the east, so W. S. C. then should be the greatest team in America, and should beat Brown be tween 20 and 30 points, while O. A. C. should drub Syracuse at least 10 points. From these fewr facts we must be rec ognized as the section leading in football and from now on All-Northwest men shall be considered in line for All-Ameri can positions. January. O. A> ALUMNI WILL BE ADMITTED GRATIS TO JUNIOR DANCE The alumni will be admitted free of charge to the junior informal home-com ing dance at the armory on Saturday ev ening on presentation of a ticket which will be given at the registration. The balcony of the armory will hold between .‘500 and 400 spectators. No admission will be charged and special arrange ments have been made for the entertain ment of the non-dancing alumni by Miss Genevieve Shaver, chairman of the stu duent affairs committee. One of the squad rooms will be decorated with greens and will be fitted up as a loung ing room where the alumni who do not dance or who wish to meet any of their old friends can get together. Refresh ments will be served. Marie Churchill is arranging for the decorations. “We wash and invite all alumni who do not dance to come into this room and meet all of their friends. Dean John Straub will be present and is going to extend a welcome to everyone. Come in and sit down and talk it over,” invites Miss Shaver. ‘•We are preparing for the biggest crowd that the history of the University has ever known. There will be plenty of room and plenty of punch.” * f FOOTBALL THUDS ■k -— (By DON BEDDING) The rooks thought. It would be easy. To lick the frosh. If seven of their best men. Were disqualified. But our frosh have. The Oregon spirit. And they showed the rooks. That we know them. Twenty men will appear in the varsitj uniform this afternoon. A strange case of amnesia developed Tuesday on the football field when Ton Campbell was struck over the eye in a scrimmage play. When Tom “woke up' he was under the shower in the gym ant had forgotten everything since the scrim mage began. Seven men joined Bill's boxing class Monday. “We will beat Oregon by ten points, maybe more,” writes an Aggie student. Perhaps he means, “We will beat Oregon by fen points maybe.” Anyway, the Oregon “jinx” and old man Pluvius are not on very good terms. It is entirely possible that by 1982 the Aggies will have arrived at the point where they “know us.” Speaking of college heroes, don’t for get the second team. Carry them off tin1 field, too. An organized system of play-announc ers will be used throughout the game this afternoon. After the battle this afternoon some Aggie mothers may be singing, “I did not raise my boy to be a soldier.” FROSH WIN BY FIGHT AGAINST HEAVY ODDS Despite Protested Men Ore gon’s Infants Defeat the Aggie Invaders. The freshman team, crippled by the loss of its best men,'and with their places filled by men picked up at ran dom on the campus, played and heat the intact team of the C). A. C. Rooks 12 to 0 on Kincaid field last Saturday. Friday evening the Aggies’ coach filed a protest against the six Oregon men who were substituted for a few minutes in the last quarter of the Willamette game two weeks ago. A loophole in the contract gave the Aggies the technical right to do this. Disgusted with the Rooks’ action. Coach Leo Malarkey, of the Frosh, re nounced all interest in the game. Upon the request of President Campbell, Coach Bezdek got the remnants of the team to gether, collected five green men. gave them a half hour signal drill, and sent them into the game with the injunction, “Go in and fight. You have a chance. Anyway, they won’t say you quit and it may avoid trouble.” They went in and they won. In the first quarter the Aggies were able to advance the ball through Ore gon’s green line for a substantial gain. Their direct pass formation was a new feature to most of the men and they were unable to hold such hard hitting backs as Swan, Hubbard and Barnes. The Rooks pushed the ball to Oregon’s one-yard line where they fumbled, Bob Earl recovering for the Frosh. (Continued on page six) VERSATILE GIANT SINGS TO GOD OF FOOTBALL Gerry Watkins—(big, husky; yen, even mountainous—(broke in song writing the day before he was un ceremoniously called into the football arena to replace one of the fresh man ineligibles in the battle royal against the (Aggie “rookies.” Wat kins, however, does not confine his versatility to size, football and song writing. Along with his college work, he is owner-in-chief and "flunky” of the Raceway, formerly known ns Bond's boat house. Ilis last effort a parody on the “latest” in ragtime realm—“Alexan der’s Ragtime Bund”—was composed spontaneously on the eve of the “frosh” football game. And if the sport critic is a judge, Watkins dem onstrated that his "pep” is not con fined to hash-writing. The song is as follows: Come fellows near and give a cheer For the best team in the land. We’ve got the ball; Oh, see them fall, They can never understand. For we’ll march down the field And their goal line will cross; They try to gain but are thrown for a loss. Ours is the grandest team what am, Battering ram! Come on along! Our line is strong! They'll respond to each demand; Our colors gleam, we’ll be always seen; Mark the boys of pluck and sand. And if you care to hear the campus ring With acclamation. Roll up the score, we’ll yell some more For old Oregon’s gridiron band. MATHEMATICS SAYS “DOPE IS AGAINST US” Syracuse Held Princeton 3-0; Syracuse Beat U. of M.; and M. A. 0. Beat U. of M. If mathematics is an exact science, and figures don’t lie, it appears that, as Coach Bezdek says, “They’ve got the dope over us.” The games player! this year by the two teams are as follows: Multnomah...

Jakvvay, who played left tackle on the Oregon team while in college, lectured before the home sci ence club Wednesday afternoon at Guild theatre on "Oomestic and Oriental Itugs." The viol) has been studying interior dec orations. Mr. Jakway, who is chief salesman and acting manager for Atiyeli Brothers, Syrian dealers in Oriental rugs in Port land. says that while he cannot remain in the city the remainder of the week, he "sure will come back to See O. A. C. get beat.” Since tin1 function of rugs is to help make the home comfortable, attractive and warm, one should consider the fol lowing questions when buying rugs: Are they good looking? and reasonable? In buying domestic rugs, one should know whether or not they were nationally ad vertised and be guarded l y such knowl edge. Mr. Jakway divided Oriental rugs into: Persian. Turkish, Caucasian, Central Asiatic. Indian, and Chinese. They were first woven 5000 years ago in Mesopotamia and Egypt, and reached their highest development in Persia about the time that Elizabeth reigned in England. The Oriental rugs express an artistic impulse and possess a sense of color and form never reached in the western world. A definite picture is not drawn, but they are woven in such a way that they call tip associations which given impressions. Ojte has to handle them constantly to gain an astute knowl edge of this form of art.
