EMERALD 1916. NO. 10. THE FINAL Cane Rush Was Won by Freshmen by Margin of One Hand, 25 24. Sophs Win Flag Rush, also Beat Frosh Badly in Sand Bag Contest. Freshmen Almost Victorious. Result Was True and Fair Criterion of Relative Strength of Two Classes. Attempt to Kidnap Freshman President Frustrated by Vigilance of Classmates, Senior Cops Supervise all and Make Mix “Square” for Both Classes. By John De Witt Gilbert. Despite the anti-climax of Thursday night, the nnderelass-mix proved a ^ spirited contest, a fighting feature and ' incidentally almost a freshmen victory. Score: Sophomores, 45; freshman, 40. True to the words on the program, the mix was “square.” The usual advantage shown the sophomores was lacking. The officials were unbiased and the result a true and fair criterion of the relative strength of the two classes in the an nual autumn event. The prize event—the cane rush—went to the freshmen, who succeeded in planting the most hands on the cane for which they fought. This event was very close, the final counting giving the fresh men the margin by one hand, 25-24. It counted 25 points. No freshman more than pushed his head above the throng that surged around the pole where the red and white banner of 1919 floated in the flag rush. The L point award went to the sophomores, hi The sand-bag contest was slower than in former years because of a rule limit ing the contestants on each bag to one from each class—went to the sophomores who garnered 12 bags in the 10 minutes of mud-grubbing to the five amassed by the freshmen. The freshman stunt represented a crowd of O. A. C. students attempting to paint the “O” on Skinners Butte. Re tribution, and a crew of freshmen, over took them and the offenders were mill raced in an ancient tub. This feature was awarded ten points over the hopho more stu/.ts which were the execution of a freshman caught painting his numerals, the capture of Willamette’s goat by Ore gon—a prophesy which was subsequent ly fullfilled, and the efforts of the Salem fire department to quench a blaze in the state asylum. it In white, with uniform red trimmings to their dresses, the sophomore women came bearing a giant football from which emerged after the ranks of scarlet and white had formed, a football team in Oregon sweaters. The ranks then swing into another formation leaving a confetti It) on the field. The freshman girls in white with tunicas of purple and gold swung onto the field in a long colorful serpentine. The sophomores, giving class and varsity yells and a cheer for Willamette, released eight snowy pigeons each trailing ribbons of lemon-yelow, and the red and gold of Willamette. An attempt to kidnap the freshman president was frustrated by the vigilance of his classmates who repelled the attack valiantly. The official senior cops, led the pro cession that inaugurated the festival. Behind them serpentined the juniors in corduroy pants and flannel shirts—the ' badges of their office. Then a long line of the double—19 class and finally the hordes of the second-decade men. Points were awarded as follows: Sophomores; marchhig 10; yells. 5; sand bag, 15; flag rush, 15. Freahmen: dec orations. 5; stunts. 10; cane rush 25. BUNGALOW GETS OVERFLOW Librarian Douglas Hopes to Alter Lib rary Conditions. Students, who cannot find a corner in the library in which to study may now carry their textbooks to the Y. M. C. A. Bungalow. The Bungalow will be used to take care of the overflow of the library until the completion of the education building, when the department of law will move from the basement of the library to its quarters in the new building. The newspaper racks will probably be shifted from the main floor to the base ment. This will allow for additional study tables both up stairs and down stairs.

A Word From The Yell Leader Rooters! Listen! And this means you too, girls! The Emerald has allowed me the special priv ilege of breaking into print with a few words. So I haven’t much to say. But mark you well! i4s yell leader for the season of 1916-17 I am going to credit the win or loss of every football game, at home or away, to just the way you back me up in the support of the team. We have the biggest bunch of rooters in the history of Oregon. And the team has the biggest games to play it has ever had. Now there are going to be some new yells and new songs. That means every rooter must be out for practice on Thursday afternoons. There are going to be some rousing rallies and some gingery parades. That calls for the attention of every chap who has a student body ticket tucked away in his jeans.

ROSALIND BATES STARS IN HER ROLE AS NORA Drama Will Be Produced Again Tonight in Guild Hall. Martha Beer. Campus theatre-goers will never for get the presentation of Ibsen's “Doll’s House” which was given last night in Guild hall by the faculty, as the first 191(1-17 production by the Drama Guild. From the initial rise of the curtain on the smoothly running “doll’s house” to its fall on the last act when Nora “takes off her doll's dress” the audience sat through the play, responding quickly to its many moods which rafged from light playfulness to moments of high emotion al tensity. Each actor in the drama deserves com mendation for the able manner in which he or she interpretated their parts, and Professor Kates has materially added to his reputation as a producer of vital plays. The first scene which won the hearts of the audience was that in which Nora, who fondly imagines herself to be an ideally happy wife and mother, plays “hide and seek” and “three bears” with her three beautiful children, played by John Hobby and Betty Allen. In sharp contrast to ties was the tarantella scene in which Nora dances wildly in order to save for herself a few more hours of her husband’s trust and love. The principal interest of the play cen tered about the acting of Professor Thacher as Torvald Helmer and Rosa lind Bates as Nora, his wife. Professor Thacher played the part in a thorough ly professional manner and there is no doubt but that his strong presentation of the conventional man’s playful atti tude toward women materially strength ened the entire play. Rosalind Bates fully succeeded in sur passing all expectations and convinced the audience more than ever that she is an actress of more than ordinary ability. It is impossible to point out any par ticular scene as the best part of her work. Her third, act, however, will probably be more vividly <U number d because of its int‘iisity. Mrs. Bates made use of every opportunity that the play- afforded to bring before the audi ence the many different sides of Nora’s character, and her clear-sightedness and resolution in making the decision to leave her husband. While the able playing of Torvald by Professor Thacher made one sympathize with him in his attitude, the (Continued on page three) WILLAMETTE IS SWIPED 37-0 BY BE/QEK'S SCORING MACHINE 14 Touchdowns Are Made by Varsity in Successive Marches Down Field.

Or j that several years after two of your j children had earned their degrees you might return to college and complete your work? This is precisely what Mrs. D. C. Kellems will do if she completes sixty j hours of work during the next two years in the University, for her petition apply- j ing for admission to the junior class was j granted by the faculty Thursday after noon. The history of Mrs. Kellems case is one of the most interesting that has been presented to the faculty of this school, j Mrs. Kellems, at tjiat. time Lulu Flint, J enrolled in the University of Oregon in the fall of INN!). She continued her work until June of 1.N0I when for vari ous reasons she found it necessary to forego steady attendance at the Univer sity. However, Mrs. Kellems was not to lose her college education without a struggle and at frequent intervals since that time > lie has carried sumeinr school work here and elsewhere, and regular work at Drake University. With the opening of school this fall, Mrs. Kellems presented to the faculty a petition, applying for admission to the class of 1018, of which her daughter, Miss Vivian Kellems is a member. Her petition was referred to Professor O. I'1. Stafford, who reported favorable to the faculty. The two years of work carried in 1889 and 1890 of course coult not be placed on a pur with two years of the present university work, and so the question pre sented itself to the faculty of estimat ing the work done at other schools. The faculty decision was that the completion of sixty college hours of work would entitle Mrs. Kellems to a university de gree. Mrs. Kellems is the wife of 1). 0.

It wasn't football—it was a procession. With Shy Huntington, chief gunner and yardage maker, leading the onslaught, the varsity squelched Willamette with 1-1 touchdowns. Co-starring with Hunt ington was the entire Oregon backfield and line. Mnntieth, Beckett, Bartlett and Risle;, shone to advantage and saw to it that the Salemltes made few gains through the varsitie’s line. \\ illamette outweighed, out coached, out played, fought gamely but in vain. It was a ease of a big man pitted against a smaller antagonist. The big man proving too heavy ami experienced. Both teams played straight football inter mingled with several forward passes. As an evidence of the one-sidedness of the game, the varsity was forced to punt but once. The game by quarters was as follows: Captain Beckett won the toss and chose the west goal. Rexford kicked ofl to Bartlett who returned eight yards.
