SMILE! FIGHT! BE FAITHFUL!
“Smile! Don’t go around looking like a funeral procession.” Such is
the advice passed out by Hugo Bezdek to the students as a motto by wlii,ch
to govern their conduct during the year of trials and difficulty which, the
University is now facing. Coach Bezdek is smiling—he who, perhaps more
than any of the rest of us, has license to be downhearted over the prospects
for the year. Last night on the football field “Bez” watched his bunch Oif
raw football recruits and smiled. “We will have a team yet,” he saidv
That is the spirit which lias made Oregon—that is the “Oregon, Spirit."’
Last year Coach Bezdek turned out a football team which could honestly lay
claim to being one of the best in the United States. When the season closed
the coach had on his list of prospects for this year’s team an aggregation of
material which, had they all returned to college, would have developed into
a team capable of demonstrating its right to the title of the best team in the
country. Throughout the summer, when he was touring the east as manager
of the Pittsburg ball club, the newspapers clamored to sed the great Oregon
machine in action. When Bezdek returned to the campus he found—what?
But one letter man of last year out in uniform, less than) fifteen of the pros
pects carried over on his lists from the second and freshman teams of last
year back in college. Still he smiles', and says, “We will have a team yet.”
To turn to the vernacular, where do the students in general buy in with
this dcwn-at-ihe-mouth stuff? Out there on the football field last night the
coaches were greeted by the largest number of men who ever turned out for
practice in the history of the University. Pure loyalty to Oregon^ has been
the incentive that got 60 per cent of them into uniforms—they have no chance
of making the team an they know it. Yet they are out there, smiling and
taking what is coming to them that the first team may be rounded into shape.
No one expects the team to be a winner, that is asking too much, but we do
know that they will scrap.
Football is only one of the activities which must be kept alive and up to
standard on the campus. There is a place for everyone in some line of stu
dent endeavor this year, and unless everyone does get behind, does push and
does smile through it all, we are going to fail. Tire "Oregon Spirit” will die
and the student body will have proved unfaithful to the) trust placed in its
liunds by the men wo have sent to war.

WHY NOT HERE?
How bright looms up the idea—-especially this year when more new stu*
dents than old are enrolled in the University—which is contemplated in the
University of Kansas, in the introduction of a course for freshmen in the
history of the university. The course outlined at Kansas, but which has not
yet been Inaugurated, consists of instruction in the history of the university
and its graduates who liavo guli\ed prominence, as well as a study of the
ideals of the school and what it expects of its students. Except for the fact
that the course is made compulsory for all first year students, which would
go a long way toward destroying its usefulness, its adoption at Oregon might
prove tl;o solution of a difficult problem! facing tho University this year.
Fifty men are turning out for two hours’ hard work on the football field
evory afternoon that Oregon, her spirit and her traditions may be upheld.
Ls it asking too much«to request that the rest of tho students turn out for an
hour’s rooting practice once or twice a week?

Only Six of Last Year’s Men Are In
School This Year, Leaving
Many Vacancies.
With an excellent stunt man, a few
of the old singers, and many new ones,

ident; Curtis Peterson, secretary-treas
urer; and Hon Roberts, business man
ager. John Stark Evans is to direct,
and Arthur Faguv-Cote is trying out
the voices for the club.
Graham Smith admits that be has
a wonder of a female impersonator,
a man from Stanford who can imitate
anyone, and make even a bill col
lector look funny. This man can play
a banjo, the ukulele, the mandolin, the
guitar, the banjo-uke, and even the
piano if necessary. His name is re
fused the public, but he Is guaranteed
to satisfy.
Only six old men are back this year.
They are William Morrison, tlrst ten
or; Merle Moore and Graham Smith,
second tenors; Curtis Peterson, bari
tone; Harold White and Irving Rowe,
basses. Nevertheless, there is a good
showing of new men. More than twen
ty appeared for the first tryout and
many more are coming. Howard Kel
ly. from Marshtleld. is pianist, but
other than this no new men have been
chosen.
There has been talk about two clubs
being formed, but until the first gets
its full strength, nothing will be done.
The club will go on the road this year,
but because the membership is not
complete, no plans have been made
for the trip.

ism profession, students and those
on the Job as well, in touch with the
work tlie other fellow is doing in a
different part of the state. It aims
to follow as far as possible the des

editing, practical work in preparing

Gridiron Gossip
Johnny Beckett and “Esty” Bartlett
stopped off long enough in Eugene Sat
urday to see Bezdek’s hopefuls go
through their first scrimmage. “Not
so bad,” was the way Jawn sized up
the team.
Beckett and Bartlett captain the
teams at the Presidio and American
Lake respectively, and both camps
boast former Oregon players in their
line-ups. Beckett has Mitchell, Hollis
Huntington, Ed. Bailey and Elmer
Hall, while Bartlett has Snyder, Mon
teith, Spellman, McKinney and Hol
den. —
Gilmour Dobie met his Waterloo at
last when little West Virginia trimmed
the Navy 7-0 last Saturday. Who was
it said, "The bigger they are, etc.?”
Bart Spellman, another one of last
year’s letter men, watched practice
last night. Bart was surprised at the
way the 'varsity played and didn’t
hesitate to say so. “They look like
comers,” was his comment.
O. A. C. is beginning to fear Ore
gon already. A recent story from Cor
vallis in the Journal states that Pipal
can see nothing but gloom ahead with
only five or six letter men back. The
article goes on to say that Bezdek
is lucky in having most of his star
freshman eleven to use as a nucleus
to build his team. Guess they haaen’t
forgotten what the frosh did to the
famous “Rooks” last year.
Mighty few of the fair sex have
found their way to the field around
4 o’clock. What’s the matter, girls?
The boys are working hard and de
serve your support.
Not one man has been laid out in
scrimmage yet. All hail Bill Hay
ward, trainer par excellence.
Secret practice will be due mighty
soon, so all ye loyal fans and fan
nettes make the most of your oppor
tunities to see the team in action.
