THE UNIVERSITY OF OREGON SLOGAN—“BEAT WASHINGTON!”

TEAMS ENTER FRAY
WITH JEN BREAK
Washington Team Primed to
Defend Name and String
of Successes.
GAME OF SEASON
WILL BE SATURDAY
Seattleites Have Seven Years
of Sovereignty to Back
Her Up.
Jimmy Sheehy
^ Will the lemon-yellow flaunt in the
breezes over the purple and gold? Will
Dobie’s warriors be crowned northwest
champions for the eighth successive
year?
These two questions of the hour will
be answered before fandom’s eyes next
Saturday afternoon on Kincaid field
when the ever dangerous, will
coached, well trained, University of
Washington football machine meets the
Varsity—equally dangerous, as well
coached and better trained. n
The northwest as well as the coast
will turn their eyes on Eugene next
Saturday. It is the first time in two
years that the teams have met—and the
first time in years that the game has
been staged on the Oregon campus. It is
the game of the 1910 season.
It is the first time in years that the
Varsity has entered the fray with an even
break in the dope and the odds. Dobie’s
“champs” will be brought to bay in the
enemies back yard. It is Oregon’s
chance—it is Bezdek’s opportunity.
Seven successive years of an unin
terrupted sovereignity of northwest con
ference football has left its stamp on
the Seattleites. They have been edu
cated to it—they have entered their
games with little doubt that they would
win—they believed themselves unbeat
able.
Today all is changed. Washington has
lost some of her veterans—she is not
playing on her own Denny field this year
—she realizes the strength of the Varsity
—she believes Hugho Eezdek has assem
bled a real team—she realizes that her
mettle will be tested to the core. The
their name and a long string of successes,
the enormity of their task are coming
to Eugene primed to give Oregon the
battle of their lives—ready to defend
their name and a long string of successes.
For this reason Dobie will have a team
not individually, but far superior in team
play and fight than the famous 1914
aggregation that beat the lemon-yelow
10 to 7 on Multnomah field. He will
be far harder to beat next Saturday than
he was two years ago.
It is true Washington has lost Hap
Miller, Walt Shiel, Bud Young and Ed
Leader from her ranks. However she
still has Cy Noble left—bigger, better,
faster, experienced, and a whale at carry'
ing the ball. Gardner a first string sub
stitute for Noble last year will be work
ed in Ha.. Miller’s place. Then there
is Hainsworth—last year’s alternate
fullback who has nabbed Shiel’s job. Fin
ally there is Ching Johnson and from all
reports in the Seattle papers he is about
the fastest thing ever seen on a north
ern gridiron. He runs low and fast, is
shifty, and has been handling the punts
in great style in the practice games.
With tlfis array of tried men in the back
field Dobie has a line-plunging offense
that will tax the Varsity front rankers
to their utmost.
Captain and right guard Seagrave, and
tackles Grimm and Murphy are letter
men from previous campaigns. The for
mer is playing his fourth year under
Dobie. Ted Faulk and George Smith
are handling the end positions. Both
are adapt at handling forward passes
and Faulk is a great kick-offer and drop
kicker. Left guard Morrison is doing
the punting and a sophomore, Laurence
Smith, with four years experience on
the championship Broadway high school
team has taken Logg's place at center.
Nobody knows better than Hugo Bez
dek and the Oregon team just what a
stiff proposition they are up against
November 4, when Washington runs on
the field. Fumbling is an almost un
heard of thing on Dobie’ steam in mid
season. They are never flashy—being

PERFECT’S MEN SUITED
^ ^ ^
BAND UNIFORMS SECURED
^5
APPEAR FIRST SATURDAY
The executive committee has appro
priated $500 to pay for the uniforms
which have been ordered for the Univer
sity band.
“We set aside the suggestion that the
cadet uniforms available next year with
military training would be adequate,”
says Nicholas Jaureguy, president of the
student body. “These cadet uniforms
would be inappropriate for the concert
work which the band will soon be do
ing.”
An order has been placed with Mc
Morran & Washburne for these new
uniforms, and the band will be “all dol
ed up” for the battle next Saturday.
BONFIRE FIRST FEATURE
Will Usher in Second Annual Home:om
ing of University.
Immediately after the serpentine down
town next Friday night the flare of
6480 cubic feet—count ‘em—of combust
ables will usher in the second annual
Homecoming of the University of Ore
gon.
The freshmen bonfire, the initial fea
ture on the program promises to live up
to the age boast of being “the biggest
yet.” The frame work is of telephone
poles secured through the courtesy of
the Eugene Water and Power office. The
conflagration is to be in the shape of a
huge rectangle twelve feet square at the
base and 45 feet high. There will be a
platform at the top on which some
stunts will be performed. The commit
tee is as secretive as a flock of owls con
cerning this stunt, only promising some
thing original and spectacular. It is
rumored that the class is purchasing vast
quantities of fireworks but whether or
not this has any bearing on the proposed
siuiic can nor ue uiscovei eu.
The bonfire itself will be constructed
early this week. The last few weeks
have been spent in going through the
nearby country in search of wood. Five
carloads of planking was secured at
Springfield as well as several cords of
slabs. The resort of the fire will be of
paper, barrels, laths, excelsior, trees and
20 loads of boxes. Over the entire
heap some 300 gallons of oil will be
poured. The Sweet Drain Auto Co. con
tributed part of the oil and the remaind
er will be purchased.
The jealous regard of an old mother
hen is as naught compared to the lov
ing care shown the bonfire by the
“Greencappers.” After sundown the
athletic field is haunted by hordes of the
neophyts dressed in all the cloths they
can borrow, beg or steal and armed as
if to repell an invasion of the entire
German army. “If the thing should be
guarded we’ll do her” is the slogan of
the watchers.”
In order that the crowd may see and
hear the speakers the freshman will
erect a platform at one side of the fire
and from this platform the usual
speeches will be given.
TO VOTE AMENDMENT
Students to Vote on Who Shall Control
New Co-Operative Store.
An amendment to the constitution of
the associated students to take the con
trol of the co-operative store out of the
hands of the student council and place
the executive committee in charge, will
be voted on at the assembly tomorrow
morning. The amendment was proposed
by Ernest Watkins, October 11. The
aim of the amendment is to facilitate the
administration of the store.
Following the discussion of fhe pro
posed amendment and the casting of the
ballot, a few minutes will be given to
the chairman of several of the Home
coming day committees to outline their
plans and show how the university as a
whole can best get behind the cele
bration planned for thi sweek-end.
Those who will outline their plans
are .Toe Hedges, chairman of the dance
committee, IJrnest Watkins, chairman
of the entertainment committee and
Jeanette Wheatley, chairman of the
luncheon committee.

For the first time since soccer was
introduced at the University in 1913,
Oregon and O. A. C. will get together
this fall. Two games have been
authorized by Graduate Manager Tif
fany. The first is to be played on the
home grounds on the free Saturday be
tween the W. S. C. and O. A. C. inter
collegiate games. The second is to be
played at Corvallis on the morning of
the big game, November 25.
Fifteen pairs of shoes and fifteen
soccer suits were shipped from San
Francisco a week ago for the Oregon
team, but were sent by freight and have
been slow in coming. They are ex
pected any day.
From now until December will be a
period of hard driving for the soccer
squad. More men are urgently needed
for the practice games. At O. A. C.
112 have signed up for soccer, and the
turnout has been large. A sprinkling
of Canadians, Englishmen and Scotch
men has made a strong nucleus for a
team, and it will probably not be a green
eleven that the Oregon boys will face
November 18, but a well-trained lot of
old players.
Conspicuous on the O. A. C. team will
be the Ford boys—Neal and Hugh—who
got their early soccer training at Oregon
from 1913 to 1913. They went then to
Stanford, where Neal made the first
team ast once, developing rapidly into one
of the crack wing men of all California.
Hugh made the second team and was ex
pected to make the first team this year.
Both boys, however, switched to Corval
lis lost September, and both will appear
against their old teammates.
McNeil, the huge Scotchman of Pipal’s
intercollegiate squad, is also a crack soc
cer man.
The Oregon squad is still woefully
weak. Special work was begun on it last
night. “Now that a heavy schedule is
ahead, there must be more playing for
fine points and less for amusement.” said
Captain Frank Campbell.
NEW OUTSIDE COURSE OPEN
Commerce School to Offer Portland Stu
dents Training in Import Trade.
The extention department of the Uni
versity has established in Portland, co
operating with the Chamber of com
merce, a course to study the advantages
of foreign trade. Under the general
supervision of Dean D. W. Morton the
course aims primarily to provide its stu
dents with the training necessary to fit
them for positions of responsibility in the
import and export trade.
Instruction will cover economics and
world trade, the v^prld’s markets, ex
port houses, the export salesman, ship
ping, financing, foreign and homo law,
importing, and factors in trade building.
PRESENTS OPERA SCORES
C. A. Burden Gives University Library
20“ Volumes of Musical Numbers.
C. A. B*urden, of Eugepe, former di
rector of the men’s physical training de
partment, has presented the University
library with a number of opera scores
and cantata’s which are now being cat
alogued.
Samuel L. Simpson's “Beautiful Wil
lamette” arranged in cantata form by F.
Dominic as “Ad Willamettam,” Schub
ert’s “Miriam's Song of Triumph,” Gen
sen’s “Feast of Adonis,” Itomberg’s
"Lay of the Bell,” and Mendiessohu’s
“Elijah” are among the twenty volumes
a few' of which are daplicated.

Stunts Will Be Prac

The Washington team will be accom
panied to Eugene by several hundred
rooters and a band. They are coming
prepared to furnish noise for Dobie's
warriors, if that e'ement is of any im
| portanee. They always make good on
the bleachers as well ns on the field.
"Bez” depends upon the psychology
of the crowd, lie emphasized the im
portance of the spirit of victory before
| the California game. On the Oregon
campus the spirit was not wanting and
victory was ours. If rooting is import
ant it must be made a part of Oregon’s
method. It must be emphasized and
exploited systematically.
Tomorrow’s assembly hour will be de
voted largely to a “pep” enthusing
demonstration. Jack Polph will state
his plans for carrying on the rooting
and appeal to the men to be present
in the afternoon for practice. A new
yell and a new song will be introduced.
One of the stunts on the field between
halves will consist of forming a human
monogram; a symbol of the University
of Oregon. The successful manipulation
of the attraction will require over three
hundred men. Dolpli embhasizes oi l
clothes. Also, every rooter will be ex
pected to wear a special rooter's hat.
They cap be procured at the Co-op store.
Gymnasium calsses will lie excused to
morrow and Thursday evenings in order
that every man may be free to take
part.
The old pajama parade will be dis
placed by a “rough-neck” serpentine Fri
day evening before the bonfire. Every
fellow is expected to don old clothes and
get into the line. It will be a long line;
the longest that ever serpentined
Eleventh and Willamette streets to the
old Oregon chant. The band will be
there to start the blood circulating.
CARDS TO MAKE APPEAL
Eugene to Be Divided Into Sections by
Y. M. C. A. and Cards Distributed.
r In order to keep before the business
men, housewives and other citizens
of Eugene the fact that there are
students working their way through the
University, who are anxious and willing
to eccept steady and odd jobs, the Uni
versity Y. M. C. A. is preparing for dis
tribution cards making an appeal to Eu
gene people to use student labor and
giving the Y. M. C. A. address and tele
phone number.
During the first few weeks of the
semester, while the opening of the Uni
versity was fresh in the minds of Eu
gene people, student work was plentiful.
Since that time interest in University
workers has dwindled. The cards which
will lie distributed this week-end are
“to arouse that interest in student labor
and to keep it in the minds of possible
employers.
Uner the head of Nick Jaureguy, stu
dents seeking employment will meet
Wednesday afternoon at ” o’clock at
Y. M. C. A. headquarters in Deady hall.
At this time Eugene will lie divided into
two and three block sections and routes
assigned to the workers for the distribu
tion of the new employment cards.
Forty students are on the Y. M. C. A.
list this year for regular employment
and about twenty others seek odd jobs.
Two thirds of the students on the wait
ing list are freshmen.

SOCIABLE TABLES MAY GO
TO USE DESKS INSTEAD
In the library is an individual desk
at the end of the first table. This is a
type of desk M. II. Douglass, librarian,
wants in use by the end of the school
year.
The system has been in operation in
the University of Washington for about
ten years and W. E. Henry librarian there,
says the university would not now go
back to the old system. The desks, he
has told Mr. Douglass, take no more
room than tables, since the aisles may
be narrower.
“The individual desks give the stu
dent privacy and reduce the temptations
for sociability,” said Mr. Douglas this
morning. “At. present there are uo
funds available for now library furni
ture, but I hope by Christmas to have
an appropriation. I am now working
out a design which will he a nullifica
tion of the individual desk now in the
library.” . ■fl
Mr. Douglas wishes to have the desks
made of native oak.
GIRLS’ GYM EXHIBIT BACK
Display Shows Pictures of Classes and
Prints of Good and Bad Feet.
The exhibits from the state fair are
back at the physical training department
and will be placed in the girls’ gym
for public inspection. The display con

at work, a sample of the examination
given twice a year, and two foot prints,
showing samples of good and bad febt.
“This department aims to conserve the
health of Oregon women, to prepare
teachers for Oregon children,” is the
heading for the bulletins, and illustra
tions of aesthetic dancing, classes in
bandaging, and teachers training fours s,
follow. Those interested in physical
training are invited -o the exhibit.

SPECIAL COMMITTEE
WILL GREET VISITORS
1600 Seats Are Reserved; 800
in Grand Stand Cost
50 Cents Extra.
If the invitations sent by A. It. Tif
fany, registrar, are accepted there will
be a governors’ box at the Washington
game, for he has asked Governor James
Withycombe, his wife and daughter, to
be the guests of the University on that
day. Invitations have also been sent to
Governor Ernest Lister, of Washington,
and Congressman C. N. McArthur (U.
of (>., ’01) and wife of Portland, Presi
dent W. .1. Kerr of the Oregon Agricul
tural College and Ethel II. Caldwell,
dean of women at Washington.
The O. A. C.-Whitman game, which
was scheduled for November 4 has been
changed to November .4, so the teams
from both schools can be present at the
Washington game. A large number of
alumni are expected here on Homecoming
day, for reports coming in from all over
the state show that great interest is
being shown in the coming oveut. D, W.
Morton, dean of school of commerce,
has just returned from Portland, where
he says Homecoming day is a main
topic of conversation around hotel lob
bies. He say men wearing Hughes and
Wilson buttons talking amiably together
about the big day; politics was thrust
into tin* background for the time. Mr.
Morton said that the members of his
Portland classes also show great en
thusiasm.
There will be a reception committee
of about 50 upperclassmen, three from
each fraternity and two from each soror
ity, to meet the alumni at the trains
and see that they have a good time all
day, according to Ernest Watkins, chair
man of the reception committee. There
will lie three hooks for the alumni to
register in, at the Southern Pacific and
Oregon Electric depots, and at the dinner
in the gymnasium. These books will be
kept as a permanent record.
Watkins snid that each alumnus will
wear tags bearing the words “I am an
alumnus” and his name. If any student
sees an alumnus wandering around alone
he, or she, is requested to make it his per
sonal business to introduce himself to
the wanderer nnd see that he has a
good time all day. Several special trains
will be in about 12:30 p. m. November 4
bearing alumni, and the Washington train
will arrive soon after.
Three hundred students will be needed
for the stunt on the field between halves,
according to Jack Dolph, who thinks the
idea is absolutely new. “If the field is
anything like it was at the O. A. C.
game last fall the stunt will be called off
and all students will go out on the field
with wheelbarrows and remove the mud
.Hid water from the worst places,” ho
declared. “If the weather is bad, all
men must wear their old clothes.”
The parade for the rally Friday night
wi.l form at Eleventh and Alder at 7:30
p. in. After a demontsration of Dreg in
Spirit on Willamette street, the parade
will come hack to the campus and the
real rally' will be held in the light of
the bonfire, which is going to be the big

freshmen. There will be no vaudeville
stunts this year, announced Dolph, as
Vilhtrd will not accommodate enough

and snappy.
Tin whole student body is invited to
the compile dinner which will bi held

Nicholas Juureguy requests that all stu
