Rumor Has It That Dobie May
Protest Johnny Parsons
h of Oregon Team.

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.

Recount Yesterday Gives G. 0.
P. 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

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.
