I Northern Varsity Beats Brdtn erton 62 to 0 in Easy Style. Rumor Has It That Dobie May Protest Johnny Parsons h of Oregon Team. i rit John DeWitt Gilbert. Seattle, Wash., Oct. lb.—If you hove the idea that Dobie has a weak team, your rotutal calculations have slipped a oof. If you think that Oregon has a Pendle ton cinch before them on November 4, you are in the road bunk again. It’s going to be easier for Camels to pass the counter of the co-op than for Oregon to enter into the second line cf Ilobie's defense. Washington bent Bremerton (12 to 0 y< stt rday. There was little glory in that and, when we remember how Boz dek threatened the century murk ngainst Willamette last week we can smile in smug complacency. The task of run ning up those three score and two points against Brcmenton was a harder job than was the downfall of Willamette. Dobie uncorked nothing. Dobie made his scores straight through the line on the hardest kind of line plunging. There were no long runs, but the lop-sided score came bit by bit by the line smashing Wash ington backs slashing their way through the rags of the navy line rent apart by the forward offense of Washington. It is this line that threatens Oregon. It charges faster, with greater pre cision and greater untiy than an Oregon line has for years. Dobie’s team good. It's green and so has no over confidence. It's fast and game. Above all, it has the prestige. You may say, "Dobie has little material this year. Where are his veterans. He has not yet been tried.” Has Dobie not been tried? Had he much material last year? Do you think the team has forgotten the long string of victories they must up-hold? The purple and gold is coming down to Eugene backed by a horde of rooters that will probably outnumber the host Oregon will be able to muster. They yell with a unity and punch that follows every move of their yell-leaders. They ' have rooting down to a fine science that j sends the deep thunder of encourage- j ment out to a fighting team. There is a rumor a-flout on the cam pus here that Dobie will soon protest Johnny Parsons on the grounds of in- j eligibility. According to the understand- ; ing to the students,'Dobie holds that no | man may play football for more than i five years after matriculation in the university. Parsons came to Oregon in i the fall of 1910, six years ago. Thus Washington’s coach figures him inclii gibie. Though defeated yesterday, the fresh man team gave an example of brilliance that was beautiful to see. They have a wonderful amount of ability but were not pulling together in the tangle with tlie 180 pound team of Broadway high school. Delta Delta Delta announces the pledging of Anne Culvert.

Candidate a Slight Lead. Executive Was Two to One Choice of Campus During Campaign of 1912. Woodrow Wilson is not the students' favorite on the University of Oregon Campus this October as he was in October, 1912. This is evidenced by re cent straw votes taken at the fraterni ties, sororities, and at the dormitories. As the major portion of the student population is represented by these or ganizations the vote is nearly complete and gives a fairly compherensive view of the political situation in the University. Despite the fact that a large major ity of the Friendly hall men are ardent Wilson supporters, and that there is a prevailing democratic majority in one or two of the fraternities, a careful re count yesterday shows the G. O. P. can didate slightly in the lead. It is interesting to note that in No vember, 1912, when the political cam paign pot was boiling at its highest point, Wilson was a two to one choice on the Oregon campus. At thnt time, no Charles Evans Hughes was in sight. At least not in the lime-light. Instead, the broad-smiling exponent of great avordu pois was leading the republican ranks. It is safe to say, giving account for a few straggling uncounted, thnt the senti ment here stands about50-50. Student political forcer! have been taking active steps, during the past few weeks, toward active support by organi zation and co-operation. Wilson work ers have organized the name of “The Woodrow Wilson Independent League of the University of Oregon” and have gone so far as to put out a paper in support of the president. No local Hughes organization has been formed, but lend ers of the republican party are working Gerry" Ladies’ Hatter Cor. 10th and Willamette St. Invites Your Patronage EUGENE THEATRE FRIDAY AND (\ j OA OI MATINEES AT 2:15 SATURDAY UCU U\)mul NIGHTS AT 8:15 Founded on Helen Hunt Jack son’s Novel of the California Missions Accompanied By Full Organ Score Played on In strument Imported From Vienna i i PRICES——Nights 25c and 50c, Matinees 25c among the students fqr such a move ment. A more tangible knowledge of the situation will be gained by the regular student ballot, to be taken on the campus November 7. Booths will be arranged in various places and the election will be carried on in regular election style, student judges and clerks officiating. This process will acquaint students with methods of casting a ballot. Besides, it will show the political inclination of the State’s highest intellectual institu tion. At a similar balloting in 1912 the to tals in electoral votes cast by the stu dents were: Wilson, 1,051; Taft, 591; Roosevelt, 408. Nearly every man and woman on the University campus has been tagged with a campaign button of one of the numer ous designs. Another method of adver tising has been utilized extensivly. That is the distribution of campaign literature and pictures of the candidates. As in athletic pursuits and other col lege activities, the Oregon spirit is be ing manifested in politcs; the all-absorb ing issue before the American people at this season every four years. DEBATETR1TN0V.18 New Members of Varsity Team Eligible for Contest. Oratorical Battle Between Eight Colleges Scheduled for Spring. The elimination tryout for eight places on the Varsity debating team will take place November 18, in Guild hall. The final tryout will occur a week later. This is the fiat given forth by Manager Walter Myers. The new members of the team, to gether with the old guard, will be eli gible for the Alumni Medal contest on December 1. The winner of this contest is adjudged the best debater in college. Last year Walter Myers carried off first honors with Cloyd Dawson second. As Dawson has left school and Myers is barred by previous participation a lively combat is expected. The annual oratorical contest between the eight colleges of the state will occur sometime in the spring but the first eliminating tryout will be on December 2, the final tryout taking place a week later. Oregon won first place last year in this contest. The I. O. A. O. is the biggest oratorical battle of the year. There have been eight contests, in which Oregon has come home with five firsts. This year the event will be staged at O. A.C. The tryout for the prohibition contest ranks in importance. The date set is Saturday morning, December 9th. The prizes in this contest are of interest. The first prize is 840. The winner goes to an inter-state contest where the stakes are $75. If he happens to be so fortunate as to win again, his expenses are paid to Washington I). C., where he is a participant in the National League. If he is successful the award is 8100. 1916 was Oregon’s first year in this contest. All interested in the debate tryout are asked to see Conch Prescott at once. The same applies to oratory. The question has not yet been given out as the Forensic Council is waiting to hear from Stanford. ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ DEBATE CHALLENGE. ♦ ♦ The Woodrow Wilson Independ- ♦ ♦ ent League of the University of ♦ ♦ Oregon challenges the Hughes Alii- ♦ ♦ mice to a delinte on the Hughes- ♦ ♦ Wilson question.
