% OREGON EMERALD VOL. 18. EUGENE, OREGON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1916. NO. 16. MTV TEAM OFF , .. FOR GREAT GAME Last-Minute-Protest Sent by California Against Parsons is Unsuccsesful. EFFORT MADE TO GET GAME BY PLAYS Players Question if System Used With M. A. A. C. Win Prevail. W. Haseltine. Speeded on their way by the biggest send-off ever given a lemon-yellow team, the varsity squad eighteen strong, left last night for Berkeley to battle with Coach Andy Smith’s men. The players making the trip were Beckett, Parsons, Montieth, Shy Huntington, Hollis Hun tington, Tegart, Snyder, Risley, Spell man Bartlett, Mitchell, Jensen, Couch, Williams, Dudley, McKinney, Nelson and Cook. Coach Bezdek, Bill Hayward, A. R. Tiffany and Manager Geary made up the rest of the party. ta None of the boys were unduly confi dent of their chances against the blue and gold and all predicted a close game. California has a big, powerful eleven that is as yet undefeated, although Whittier gave them a close rub Saturday, the Bear winning out in the last few minutes of play 31-17. California sent in an eleventh hour protest against Johnny Parsons yester day alleging that he had played four years and was therefore ineligible to participate this season. The protest is unfounded however, as Parsons did not make the team his freshman year nor take part in any of the games. Whether the system that worked so well against Multnomah will prevail against the Southerners is a mooted question which cannot be answered until next Saturday afternoon. For the last practice before leaving yesterday Bez gave the freshmen Cali fornia’s plays which were used against Whittier last week. The first year men made yardage time and again with a bewildering assortment of cross bucks and forward passes all of which were started from the same formation. The success of the frosh augurs ill for the varsity unless they can fathom the attack of the Californians. STAFF MEETS AND EATS Oregana Officers Tend to Business, Toast Marshmallows, Sing Songs.

PROFESSORS BUY DRINKS # « « « MEETING HOUR CALLED OFF « # « « MAJORS TAKEN TO OREGANA Entertaining at the Oregana is an in novation in the way of meeting majors which Dean Ralph H. Lyman and Dr. John Landsbury, of the school of music, have introduced. According to instructions thirty-five music majors put in their appearance at the school of music this morning at assembly hour. After Mr. Landsbury had given a short talk, the party was divided into relays and the first section ushered into Mr. Lyman's car which was parked outside. In a few minutes there was a reunion at the “Oregana” where the rest of the hour was spent in pulling straws and wielding spoons. “We music people never can get to gether like the people in other depart ments,” said Mr. Lyman. “We need to get acquainted "and here is our chance. “GET TOGETHER” — ALLEN Old Students Should Teach New Ones Declares Journalism Dean. That the faculty is a subordinate ele ment of a school and that students should get together and build up tradi tions and hand them down to new stu dents, is belief of Eric W. Allen, dean of the school of journalism, expressed be fore his majors at their assembly Wed nesday morning. Mr. Allen impressed upon the upper classmen that they should install in the freshmen the right spirit of co-operation and loyalty to the University. “The University must have a particu lar type of technique in journalism,” said -Professor Allen, “and this can be done by developing a desire for care and accuracy in handling the news which molds the opinion of others.” Fair mindedness and an ability to see the other side, to see the facts as they are, not as he would like to see them, and the art of expressing himself force fully in simple, clear language, are necessary qualifications of a journalist, according to Mr. Allen. Colin V. Dyment, professor of journal ism, urged the students to work together in building up a constructive department al spirit. “When every man is perfect ly loyal to his school, it can produce bet ter men than would be possible without this spirit,” declared Mr. Dyment. Alumni seem to have this feeling re doubled after leaving school as is shown by the letters from the journalism stu dents who have been placed in good news paper positions in the last four years. Mr. Dyment told where twenty-four of these alumni are and what they are doing in journalism. A. J. DeLay talked about the mechani cal part of newspaper making. WOMEN PLAY POLITICS Will Form Hughes Club and Give Speeches in Nearby Towns. The organisation of a women’s Hughes club will be the feature at a meeting to be held Friday afternoon in the lecture room in Deady hall at 4 o’clock. Stump speeches and songs will be the event of the afternoon, if the program is carried out according to the schedule laid down by Emma Wootton, one of the three organizers of the club. Adriene Epping, Jeanette Calkins, and Emma Wootton started the club yester day afternoon and with the enthusiasm that has greeted the forming of the club since that time there promises to be quite a number of the co-eds out for the “hashing” Friday. “All Hughes women and those on the fence are invited,” said Miss Wootton. “Buttons and club ribbons will be distri buted and songs from the campaign song book of the republican party will be sung.” The club is under the auspices of the Lane Couney Republican committee. At the meeting on Friday afternoon it is planned to have the plans for the com ing campaign discussed. Under the lead ership of It. D. Calkins. Jr., of the law firm of Smith and Calkins, and secretary of the Lane County Republican Party, the party is planning to make trips in automobiles to various towns of the county and to address the republican women in these places. “Probably Coburg and Elmira will be the first towns to be visited,” said Miss Wootton. “We will sing a few songs in each and make speeches.” Eighteen Hundred Word Report Will Come Over the Wires to Keep Students Informed as to Progress of Battle on the Berkeley Gridiron. Rex T heatre and Emerald Working in Co-operation to Put Over M etropolitan “Scoop.” The Emerald and Rex Theatre will furnish to the students a report of the j football game between the Varsity and California play by play. The game starts at 2:30 Saturday afternoon nnd from * that moment until the closing whistle on the Berkeley oval the telegraph wires will be hot. ! Two copies will be taken of the game i from the wires, 1800 words in length and detailing each play. Manager J. | T. McDonald of the Rex Theatre will ^ hold a special matinee at ten cents when the reports will be read as they come in. The regular run of pictures will be as complete as usual. Another copy will go to the Emerald office nnd the linotyper. This is metropolitan journalism with in the strictest meaning of the phase and is a costly undertaking. Never before - has such a “scrap” been pulled off in Eugene. Heretofore the streets have I been crowded the afternooons of big games played away from home and the | telephone wires kept hot for the meager | information of “what's the score?” But in keeping with the progress of the times and the growth of the stu dent body detailed information will be at the service of all the students. Sat urday afternoon should see the Rex jam med with students wanting to know about the game. It will be the next thing to seeing the game—at 10 cents per. From the south come reports thnt Oregon’s pre-season victories over Wil lamette and Multnomah have put fear into the hearts of the Califcrnians. Bet ting has dropped and almost ceased and one official in intimate touch with af fairs on the California campus says “Oregon will drub is.” Saturday’s game is the first conference game of the seao >n. The interest shown in the send- iff rally last night has never been equaled. And it is a cinch the same interest will be shown Saturday as the game progresses. The reports start at 2:110 with the starting whistle and will continue to the close of the game at approximately 4:30 o'clock. Y. M. ISSUES BOOKLET Contains Information for Foreigners Concerning College Customs. The committee op friendly relations among foreign students has issued small booklets in several languages for the benefit of foreign students in American universities. J. D. Fester, secretary of the University Y. M. C. A., has some of these for distribution to foreign stu dents in the University. The booklets, which are compiled by Charles L\ Hurrey, general secretary of the committee, are written in different foreign languages and deal with matters of interest to the foreigner, such as school customs, school slang, and so forth. They also aim to answer ques tions referring to North American edu cational institutions, and student life. The committee of which Mr. Hurrey is general secretary desires to show for eign students, especially orientals, that the Christian religion has something for I them as well as Americans. KINCAID FIELD MUST DO Decrease in Taxes Means No New Grid iron for Some Time. That football -will probably be played and the underclass mix staged on Kin caid field for some years to come is the opinion of Karl Onthank, secretary of the president. Mr. Onthank says that with the incrense in the registration of the University comes a demand for more teachers and instructors and that, as this demand is more important, it must be filled before steps are taken to change the football gridiron to the property east of University avenue, which is owned by the University. “The amount of taxes to be collected, for example, iu Multnomah county for this year has decreased from the amount which was collected last year; and in a number of other counties the decrease is similar,” said Mr. Onthank. “This, in a corresponding degree will decrease our appropriation and cause a general tight ening up of expenditures. And so, al though the plans for the change have all j ready been drawn up, I do not believe it will be made for some years to come.” Boisterous Farewell Given Departing Team at Depot Roaring, Chanting, Sing ng Lines of Rooters Accompany Squad to Train in Largest, Noishst Parade ever Witnessed in Eugene. Twelve Students Will Make iournay With Vars ty to Southland. Oregon Will Have Good Representation at Berkeley. Clifford Sevits Whilst a roaring, reverberating, rent ing “Oskie” echoed and re-echoed against Old Skinner Butte last evening, Ore gon’s eighteen representatives of the lemon-yellow rolled away for California. “Pep” is not the word to describe that farewell demonstration. It is alto gether too tame. A new explicatory phase will have to be invented to jusely depict the spirit. The University student-body practically responded in body when the bugle was sounded. From Eleventh and Kincaid streets the biggest, noisest, most enthus iastic parade ever witnessed in Eugene, rallied down town through the business section. The psychology of the moment was intense. “It is the old Oregon feel ing re-born and greatly exalted,” a by stander was heard to remark. With a long single file of men on either side of the street and women be tween; and the famous Oregon chant coming simultaneously from several hundred throats as the drums beat quick, snappy march time, the parade was im pressive. It was significant of an all important fact—that the famous spirit of victory for Oregon is alive in the breasts of the Oregon students. It is the spirit that says “we will” when dope says “you won’t” and “you can’t.” Yell leaders Jack Dolph and “.Slim” Crandall, spot-lighted on the top of a passenger coach, lead in songs and yells and finally wound up with three rail’s for Bezdek, Trainer Bill Hayward, Dean Walker, and every man of the squad who is making the trip. Registrar, A. R. Tiffany, referee, Sam Dolan, and twelve student-rooters were with the team. Representatives from the frater nities and from the men’s dormitory were sent as the result of lotteries, by which the remaining members paid the expen ses of the trip for the lucky one. It looks as if Oregon’s rooting force at the gurne Saturday will not be en tirely inconsequential. Three parties of rooters have departed by automobile and a number left last night at mid night by Oregon electric in order to make connection at Portland with the boat. Arrangements are being made by Man ager T. J. McDonald of the Rex Theatre by which the game may be shown play by play. The news is to be flashed before local fans as the game is in pro gress.

Vosper From Berkeley. || SOUTHERN CAMPUS IS PERVADED IN GLOOM So Sure of Defeat That Betting Has Been Stopped. All E. E. Vosper, Varsity Yell Lender 1914. Berkeley, Calif., October 16.—Al though the Oregon game is only a few days off, there seems to be very little interest shown on the campus. Perhaps this is clue to the fact that California expects defeat, or it may be due to the fact that it is not considered one of California's big games. Then also the school is so large that there is a lack of that s’pirit that dominates the Ore gon campus. If it were not for the post ers and the sign boards, one would hard ly know that there was to be a game. Football is a topic of the view on the campus. Some of the greatest interest is being shown by Old Oregon students, who are looking forward to the game with interest. Many of them will be eager to see Oregon play again. Graduate Manager ,T. A. Stroud hna kindly promised to reserve a section for the Oregon rooters at the game. With his help, and interest, Oregon will have a rooting section, perhaps small, but mighty. I have eceived letters from many of the alumni around the bay, who are going to be at the game. Already I am sure of twenty rooters and before the day of the gurne, I expect more. Well the Oregon spirit will be there even though we are few in number. October 17—Prospects for victory over Oregon have fallen. All the coaches were some what disappointed over the showing of the big Varsity team against the lighter Whittier team on Saturduy last. The Varsity was slow in gettiug its plays off and weak on defense. How ever, Coach Andy Smith has taken the team in hand with the greatest of deter mination to overcome this weakness. Al though Coach Smith has had great dif ficulties to overcome, because of the game, new to Californians, he has done wonders with the material and has a fair team of large men. The line has seven husky and hard working men, who put all they have into the game. In men such as Liversidge, Kussell and Gordon, Col. has a center trio that is hard to beat. They are large men and fighters. It is only right to mention quarter back Shapp. lie is by far the best field runner that I have ever seen. He is similar to Parsons in that respect, llis greatest advantage is his ability to dodge while running at full speed. His ability as field general is only fair. He is a small man about 138 pounds. An other man in the back field that will prove a dangerous man to Oregon is Brooks, llis is a terror on offense and one of the fastest men on the team. Wells, Bane and Graf are also good back field men. Since Saturday’s game, Coach Smith has been giving the men some individual attention in the matter of defense iu breaking up passes and smashing inter ference. He has hopes to smash the Oregon offense and to stop the advance of Oregon's line plungers. He fearB the work of I'arsous nud Montieth and the Huntington Brothers and respects the powers of Becket and Snyder and Bart powers of Beckett and Snyder and Bart hold his own with Kisley. However, so sure are the supporters that Oregon will win that there is no betting at all at this time. The news of the overwhelming defeat of Willam ette and the victory over Multnomah has thrown a scare into the supporters of the blue and gold. They fear Oregon’s great scoring machine and stonewall de fense. As one of the men of importance i said to me, “I fear Oregon will drub us.” i iiispite this feeling the coaches are ! having the second teams work Oregon’s I style of play so that the Varsity will j have experience. i All Oregon meft will welcome the I team to the south.
