That there will be 400 alumni here
today is the opinion of A. R. Tiffany,
registrar. A special train from Coos
Bay, and two from Portland on the
Southern Pacific will arrive between 12
m. and 12:30 p. m. Specials from Seattle
and Portland will arrive on the Oregon
Electric at about the same time. Mem
bers of a reception committee of fifty
will meet the trains, and will be desig
nated by their yellow ribbons.
Students and faculty members who
can are asked to entertain the visiting
alumni who do not go to fraternity or
sorority houses.
Jaureguy considers this an opportun
ity to give the school a big boost by co
operating with the committees. * “Make
the alumni feel at home on the campus,
by being friendly and considerate of their
wishes. Let every student see that no
one is lonesome while here,” he says.
The first glimpse of Homecoming Day
Is on Willamette street, for the poles
between the depot and Eleventh avenue
are alternately decorated with purple
and gold and lemon-yellow and green,
stated Jaureguy. Oregon and Washing
ton pennants are hanging from wires
crossing the street, giving the city a gala
day appearance.
Jeannette Wheatley, chairman of the
refreshment committee, says that from
2000 to 25D0 persons are expected at the
campus dinner and band concert in the
gym this noon. All freshmen and senior
girls are furnishing thirty sandwiches
tach, and the sophomore and junior girls
two and one-half quarts of salad.
The lunch will be served cafeteria
ityle from eight booths. Each class will
Inanage two booths, and all are to be
Jlecorated with yellow bunting and au
ijiton leaves. The menu will consist of
»»*dwiches, beans, pickles, salad, coffee,
'.gnd ice-cream. It is requested that stu
|ents eat their lunch between 11 and 12
o’clock, as the floor of the gym will not
accommodate both students and alumni
at the same time. After luncheon an in
formal mix will be in order. All alumni
will wear badges: with their names and
class numerals on, so the mix will be a
good chance to get acquainted, states
Ernest Watkins, chairman c- the recep
tion committee.
Between halves of the game the stu
dents will serpentine on the field, accord
ing to Jack Dolph, yell leader, forming
a large “O,” with a “U” inside. It is de
sired that all men wear rooters’ lids,
and as a special dispensation freshmen
will be allowed to exchange these for
their green caps during the game.
The hats can be procured at the Co-op
store, and to make the color scheme
v ork out, every man should wear one.
“And all students should be on the
bleachers early, for no seats there are
reserved,” stated Dolph. The alumni
will have a section next to the rooting
section and the seating will be arranged
so the men form a large “U”, the busi
ness men a dash, and the women an “O”

TEAMS EAGERLY AWAIT WHISTLE,
OLD SCORES TO BE SETTLED TODAY
Washington Puts a Practically
New Team on the Field
This Year.
Dobie Will Bring Long List of
Substitutes in Anticipa
tion of a Hard
Fight.
When the Washington team comes on
the field today Oregon students will see
practically a new eleven. Only two of
Dobie’s men have played against Ore
gon before, these two being Captain
Louis Seagraves and Cyrus Noble. Both
cf these players are in their fourth year
of conference ball.
“Cy” Noble is the only veteran in the
backfield but from the reports of Wash
ington’s early games he is equal to two
ordinary halves. Noble’s forte is carry
ing the ball for end runs. He can dodge
and twist his way for extra yardage

The last contest between the football

The game was played in Seattle, No
vember 15, 1914.
According to the newspapers on the
following day, the game was a good one
from the spectators’ standpoint. Hard
fighting, clever open field running
featuring the play of both teams. The
northerners’ line was nearly impenetra

the contest. Washington also was unable

TWO DELTS SEEK SOLITUDE
“ELYSIUM” NAME OF HOUSE
From poultry incubator to “Elysium"
is the transformation of a little house
in the Delta Tnu Delta back yard,
where Milton Stoddard and Fred Pack
wood have taken up lodging.
The Delt house was too full so the two
students “took up their beds and walked"
to the quietness of their adopted re
treat. Out there they hope to have no
disturbance in their study and meditation,
but they fear that the boys will be drop
ping into the novel Bohemia. Because
of this fear, these words of Elbert Hub
bard will be inscribed on the door: “If
a man write a better book or preach
a better sermon or muke a better mouse
trap than his neighbor, though he build
his cabin in the woods, the World will
make a beaten track to his door.”
Since the little house was formerly an
incubator, the boys pray that they may
hatch into geniuses.
Stoddard, senior, rejoices that he caf
dress in a warm room in the cold morn
ings because Pack wood, junior, always
has a fire built.
'SIDEWALK BOARDS LOOSE
Girls, Fearing Unevor Footing on Thir
teenth Street, Driven to Rhyme.
In the olden days it was “Jack and
Gill, etc.,” but now in this advanced age
of learning and culture, suppose we say:
Prudence and Antone were students,
They go to the library each day.
In the evening they trot to the castle,
Where Douglas, the iron hand, holds
sway.
One night while venturing homeward,
With heads low and voices subdued,
Antone stepped on a loose board in the
sidewalk
And Prudence! It would be criminal to
speak of a co-ed in such a position.
Seriously though, there are some
seventeen boards loose at either one
end or both between the library and
the new Educational building. Just
imagine what it would mean to the
ultimate advancement of the. University
if seventeen of our co-eds should have
the same experience as Prudence or if
each should break a leg, or if each should
sue for a “legacy” of $5000.

SPECULATION RUNS RIOT
OVER SOGGY FIELD’S EFFE
Fandom Tensely Awaits Strug*
gle. Kincaid Field Will Be
Banked With 10,000.
.Timmy Sheehy
The eventful day has arrived. The
stage is set. Everything is in readiness,
and the aetors are prepared as the cur
tain rv’ses to present what gives promise
of being one or the greatest football
dramas ever staged in tho northwest.
Promptly at 2:30 p. m. Referee George
Varnell, after getting the “Ready" sig
nal from Captain and left end Johnny
Beckett of Oregon and a similar sign
from Captain and right guard Louis
Seagrave, of Washington, will start
hostilities with a blast on his whistle.
Gilmore Dobie’s 8 time champion Univer
sity or Washington team will bo scon
for the first time in two years lined up
against Hugo Bezdek’s lemon-yellow
wiuriors, with each team doped to have
an even chance on grabbing the long end
of the score.
Fandom can hardly wait for the hour
to arrive. Kincaid field gives promise
of being banked with a solid mass of
humanity if the advance seat sale is any
criterion. Graduate Manager Tiffany
expects to handle a crowd of 10,000
people—a crowd that will surpass and
break all official attendance records of
previous Oregon-Washington games—a
crowd that will no doubt take up every
available foot of seating space in the
stands.
Eugene is football crazy. Not even
the lute activities of old .Tupe Pluvc,
which turned Kincaid field into a quag
mire, has dampened the ardor of the
rooters. 400 Washington students, bear
ing their famous purple hook, are due
to pull into Eugene at noon today,
rendy to back their team to the limit.
Viewing with the Seattleites across the
field will be 000 lemon-yellow noise
makers armed with an equal number of
megaphones.
Oregon h ready. Every man is primed
to the letter save with the possible ex
ception of right guard, Bart Spellman,
who is suffering from a badly lacerated
shoulder. Bart, by virtue of a heavy
padded harness, will be able to start the
game, with Bns Williams acting in the
role of first relief man. Bezdek sends
his men into the game today with the
knowledge that they are up against the
toughest proposition of the 1018 season.
Yet they enter the fray for the first
time facing Dobie on an even footing—
on their home grounds—with the assur
ance that the crowd is bucking them to
win.
Likewise Dobie’s charges are prepared
to defend a long string of victories—
to uphold the purple and gold’s place on
the footbnll map—to bring back the
ninth successive conference championship
to the Sound city.
Speculation is running riot among fans
as to the probable effect of the soggy
field on the outcome of the game. Wash
ington it is believed will reap the benefits
