VOL. 18. EUGENE, OREGON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1916. .BACK OLD OREGON—SHOW THAT SPIRIT—ROAR AT THE RALLY I CO OP AMENDMENT WED BY STUDENTS Executive Council Given Charge of Store. Homecoming Committees Report SNAPPY YELL PRACTICE PUTS PEP IN ASSEMBLY i Popular Demand Compels Hay ward, Bezdek and Team to Face Rooters The all-University assembly yester day was devoted partly to student body Jjusiness and partly to yell and song jiraetice conducted by Jack Dolph, yell leader. The constitutional amendment taking the management of the Co-Operative store from the student council and plac ing it with the executive council was voted on and passed. Homecoming plans were reviewed by Nicholas Jaureguy, president of the stud ent body, and reports given by the chair men on the various committees. Jean nette Wheatly, cha'rman of the lunch eon committee, announced that each sen ior and freshman girl is expected to fur nish two and one half dozen sandwiches and each sophomore and junior girl two quarts of salad. Joe Hedges, chairman >of the dance committee, announced that alumni tickets for the dance and recep tion must be secured. He urged that everyone turn out at the dance and show the visitors the best time possible. Ernest Watkins, chairman of the recep tion committee, requested that any hav ing extra rooms would let him know as it will be difficult to house all the llomecomers. He announced that com mittee of 50 students had been appointed as a reception committee to meet the train and welcome the visitors. Nicholas Jaureguy gave a short talk on the necessity of receiving the alumni in a hearty way and making them feel at home. “The results of our reception of the alumni will determine whether Homecoming will be a success or a fail ure,” he declared. The band and women’s glee club gave several selections. By popular demand, the team, Bill Hayward and Coach Bezdek were com pelled to sit on the platform before the gaze of the rooters. Hayward, Bezdek and President Campbell and the men of the team were called on in turn to say something. “We are not cocky,” emphatically de clared Bezdek. “We are going to keep fighting every inch of the way. And Washington is going to know it. And Dobie is going to know it. This is the first time we have ever had our full strength against Washington and we are going to show them they cannot walk over little Oregon. They will fight— but we will win. They are dangeroas. They have a good, fast team—as good as they have ever had—but they haven’t the Oregon Spirit.” “In my dealings with Washington,” declared Hayward, “I have found there is only one thing that bother Washing ton that is Oregon. The boys are in the pink of condition. If they were any ■better they would be sick.” I)olph announced the rally tomorrow night and in violent tears urged that j every student in tho University be on hand. 600 MORE SEATS ROOFED Board Sidewalk, Are Being Laid on Kin caid Field for Game. Six hundred additional seats are being covered with permanent board roofing, in the north side reserved section of Kincaid field, in preparation for the accommodation of the Washington-Ore gon football crowds next Saturday. Board sidewalks are being laid to re place the unsatisfactory sawdust paths of former years, when it was necessary to use them on account of the muddy condition of the field. The northwest entrance to the field is also being enlarged. Graduate-man ager Tiffany estimates the improve ments to total $300. Floor Waxed for Saturday Canter Cut Out for Dinger Great Wriggle at Armory Doped to be All-Northwest Exhibition of Grace and Pulcritude. Tripping Tootsies to Regn in Uncle Sam’s Local Stronghold While Victory and Defeat Mingle After Game. It's going to be some dance. The committee has bargained with Coach H. B. for a little something that will sure add zest to the party, not the punch. They arran ,ed with Gene Good for that. It is not going to be great music. Neither is it to be great punch, nor a great floor. It is going to have those minor features backed clear off the dancing surface when ic comes to actual pep-producing. It is going to be a great victory. The list of patrons and patronettes looks like a page from the index of Hoozhoo. Everyone is in it from soup to nuts. There’ll be a gang from Washington down here trying to show up Rosen dael’s pupils but don’t lose any sleep over their antics or back up or down when they pull some of the Bearing sea stuff. When some guy gets his girl with that in-grown forearm clutch they promulgate up that way don’t fall away before him but stand your ground as Snyder did that afternoon, remind him he’s a beaten man and flip some of this Rainbow Nicklejit Junk into his very teeth. This is to be some dance. Honest, you’ll most die. The hai will be large and there will be a gang there that will make you wish we could boat Washington every day. It is one of the classic occas ions of a man’s college life, like the underclass mix and commencement day. Girls, when a guy says, “Trip with me to the progression,” it is just like when they ask you to join their frat, one of those kind of holy times like a wed ding or a funeral or when you wear your first pair of corduroys. This is informal—not goat-whelp gloves and pained expression:;. Hobnails are barred and flannel shirts are frowned upon, not because they are improper but because some of the guests might think that we do not exercise proper care about our dress. Save the hi-tops and dark-greys for the following Monday— we may even have a holiday then—and try to find just any old kind of a white collar and a pair of tan shoes. At the Rainbow you give up five Lin coln heads apiece for each volley by the orchestra—and get dinked for a sun dae in between times—but here you get a whole evening’s exercise for a trifling quartet of bits, occasionally known as a hemipluuk. The old grads earned their free admission when they registered at the University years ago and they can get tickets gratis when they register with Mr. Tiff. PEANUTS WILL BE SOLD Three Booths Will Sell Confections and Pennants at Game. --- Not only peanuts, popcorn, chewing gum and candy, but Oregon pennants, Hersheys, all-day suckers, badges and various other articles which might at tract the excited enthusiasts at the big game on Saturday are to be sold at three booths according to Echo Zahl, chairman of the committee. ■ “The booths will be at the entrances,” said Miss Zahl. “They will be decor ated with fir boughs, bunting, and pen nants. The Y. M. C. A. and Co-op store are going fifty-fifty on the proceeds. We are also going to have little boys sell peanuts in the grandstand during the game.” The directors of the three booths will be Jennie Huggins, Helen Anderson, and Mary Alice Hill. Each of these girls will have others working under her, among whom will be Marie Beach, Gene Geisler, Dorothy Hunziker, Elizabeth Bruere, Reba Macklin. Echo Zahl will manage the three booths. WASHINGTON SENDING 250 Committee Preparing for Visitors; Autos to Meet Them at Train. Two hundred and fifty rooters are coming from Washington on Saturday. They will arrive here at 11:30, and will be met by a reception committee. “We are going to see that Washing ton rooters get the right kind of a reception,” said Ernest Watkins, chair man of the committee. “The Lane Coun ty Auto association has volunteered the use of its machines, and no rooter will have to walk from the train. We are making efforts to secure rooms for the Washington delegation, and if the hotels cannot accommodate them, they will be taken to private houses. All students must co-operate in making these people feel that they are welcome.” “EVERYBODY OUT”—DOLPH Yell Leader Urges Attendance at Rally Tomorrow Night. King “Jaz” and Queen “Pep” will reign supreme on the campus tomorrow night at the rally, according to yell lead er Jack Dolph. Dolph declares the attendance Wed nesday was not all that could be desired but that the crowning event of the week will come tomorrow night at the “fest.’C “Every student must be there,” he emphatically declared. A novel feature in souvenir pictures j has been devised by Bill Hayward. It is a postcard in the shape of a foot ball with the heads of Oregon team on it. ROOTERS TO GATHER EARLY Dclph Urges That Every Word of “Mighty Oregon” Be Learned. “The first thing that the rooters at the big game should remember is to get to the field early,” says Jack Dolpr, yell leader. “Be out about two o’clock and get your seats picked. Furthermore, come prepared to shed rain, snow, hail or sleet. Wear your old shoes and come with the intention of getting into every play, getting back of every man on the varsity and joining in the big parade be tween halves.” Those who have been at the rallies this week are familiar with the details of the serpentine that is to be held be tween halves but these will be explained again at the game. Every word of the “Mighty Oregon” song should be learned before the game and Dolph urges the rooters to remember that the yells are to “shoot out like pis tol shots” from now' on. “Get off on the start with the gang and yell with the leaders,” said Dolph. "And briug every cap and pennant and sleeve band that you can afford to buy. Make the rooters section a mass of Oregon colors. ‘Beat Washington’!” VARSITY WILSONIANS SING Quintet Warbles Politics Before Audi ence in Cottage Grove.

Last night a fplintet composed of Stanley Eaton, John Huston, Curtis Beach, Algie Weinheimer, and Melvin Solve, went to Cottage Grove and sang the new creations before an audience gathered to hear Harry Lane, U. S. Senator, speak. Song is not the only medium of ex pression of the democrats. The Univer sity Wilsonian continues and will ap pear in the third and last issue on November G.

Another division reported Thursday afternoon. The swimming tank is open to the girls ! two afternoons a week. Much interest is shown in swimming this year, prob ably due to the fact that in some cases it is counted as regular gymnasium work, and because of the agitation fwr rules governing canoeing.

But on the eve of the big event, rather than settle back confident that all is well, we should beware lest we fall into the error of last year ns pointed out iu the following letter. This letter is not a “slam" at onyone in particular and it is de sired that this message be read, not as something antagonistic to the present plans but rather as a constructive criticism of the faults of last year which may be remedied this year.—II. II. Mr. Martin Nelson, Chairman, Publicity Committee for Homecoming, University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon. Dear Sir: That form letter without date to hand. In reply let me state just a few facts that might help in understanding why more old grads won’t come back. Personally, I returned for the O. A. C. game Inst year, but take it from me, never again. I was as welcome as November frost on the new sprouts. I had no "raternity to return to, so I stayed at the hotel, while other gentle men full of Oregon’s past spirit and hos pitality were as prominent and evident as a green cap at a senior meeting. After visiting the vaudeville show at Vil lard hall, I resolved this year on the night of the rally to visit Pantages, and fill myself with the REAL OL1) PEP. If you want old grads to come back, take care o'f them when they get there. A fraternity pin is not the measure of a man, as is learned after leaving col lege, and until such time, if you take care of the old grads when they come back as they should be taken care of, as their association to the other stu dents really means Oregon spirit, you will not waste your postage stamps again as you have this time in my case. Wishing you success in your effort against Washington, and assuring you that there are a number of us who may come up for the game, but not to come home for any repetition of last year’s fiasco, and if we do, we will take care of ourselvea without any dance or cafe teria lunch. We want spirit, not eats. More pep with the voice and less with the feet. Respectfully yours, C. W. ROBINSON, U. of O. ’ll.

OREGON READY FOR REFEREE S WHISTLE Bezdek Putting the Finishing Touches on Team; Boys in Pink of Condition, FRESHMEN USE DOBIE’S PLAYS AGAINST VARSITY Coach Watches Washington Whitman Game and Gets Dope on Northerners. .Timmy Slieehy With the bis game with Washington but two days off, Coach Besdek is busy on the most difficult task in coaching a college team—namely, installing them with fight, yet keeping down any sembl ance of over anxiousness and nervous tension, and at the same time polishing, timing, and bracing up the weak spots. An old adage of football training is that as a team acts before the game, so will it act during the game. Should It prove the truth it augurs well for tha varsity’s actions against Washington Saturday afternoon. Hezdek’s little trip to Seattle last Saturday to take in the Washington-'Whitman game was benefi cial in more ways than one. He got a good glimpse of Doble’s machine and brought home a pad full of notes and iilav diagrams ns taught by Dobie. Bo* spout Monday night in explaining to the entire squad the. essentials of the purple and gold attack. Tuesday the freshmen using Washington’s plays and formations, battled the varsity on the baseball field in an hour of the stiffest kind of scrimmage. At the outset they gained at will but once Bezdek aroused the dander of tho regulars, the first year men were helpless when it came to ad vancing the leather. The outstanding feature of the scrim mage was that it afforded some food for enmparison as to the effectiveness of Bezdek’s and Dobiu’s systems. Wash ington's attack has it over Oregon’s in that their interference is far more com pact and wedge like. Their backfleld {days back further than the varsity’s and they gain more momentum on hit ting the line. Dobie still does away with a safety on the defense. Quarterback Ching John son plays defensive halfback, thus giving four men to back up the line and flank the ends. On a punt formation he re turns to the safety position and runs in the kicks. Bezdek has been and will continue going over every phase of the game and team piny until Friday night. Friday night will see the last licks before the battle in the nature of light sprinting, punting, kick-offing, place kicking, for ward passing and signal drill, with a once around the track as a final. The -northern team accompanied by Coach Dobie, Graduate Younger, and the advance guard are due to arrive in Eugene Friday morning. They will he quartered at the Oshurn hotel and will no doubt have a light workout in the after noon. Dobie will no doubt hie his charges to some distant country meadow to practice, with only the neighboring trees and corn patches to bear witness to what takes place.
