.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.
The University Wilsouians have com
posed several appropriate campaign
songs.
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

ALL FORTY GIRLS CAN SWIM
First Division Swimming Class Meets
for First Time Tuesday.
The first division swimming class for
girls, 40 strong and all able to swim,
met for the first time Tuesday. 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.

CALLS LAST YEAR A FIASCO
Editor's Not% The students have
been boosting this year for a veal, gen
uine Homecoming and there has been
some serious thought and attention given
to those details that mean a right royal
welcome to the nlutnui. 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.
