OREGON SOLDIER BOYS
FORM FOOMl TERM
TWO COSSMANS, JOHNS, KENNON
AND RALSTON PLAY ON FORT
STEVENS ELEVEN.
Details of Celebration Given in a Let
ter Received from Former
University Student.
That the students of the University
may be kept informed as to what some
of Oregon’s soldier boys are doing
while waiting for the call for active
duty in Europe, the Emerald presents
the following extracts from a letter
of a University man in the Second
Company, stationed at Fort Stevens,
to a friend on the campus.
Real “Jazz Rally” Held.
“Today was a stirring day in the
lives of us embryo soldiers. Gover
nor Withycombe, accompanied by for
mer Adjutant General George A.
White, was a visitor at the fort, and
in their honor the whole regiment ap
peared in review. A field and track
meet followed, in which the Second
company showed her colors. Preced
ing the’ meet, fifty University of Ore
gon men, Eugene high school students
and others, took possession of the
field and gave a| demonstration which
was not a bad representation of a: ‘rip
roaring jazz rally’ on the campus.
Our rendition of the famous ‘Oskie
Wow-Wow’ was especially stirring
and was the cause of a great, deal of
cheering from the audience of civil
ians and officers.
Mighty Oregon Revised.
“I cannot express the feeling that
takes possession of us when wo join
in Oregon yells and sing Oregon songs.
The regimental band lias procured
music for ‘Mighty Oregon,’ which has
boon adopted as our march song.
DeWitt Gilbert, author of the song,
has changed tho wording to fit our
purpose moro adeptly. This is the
way wo sing It now:
“ ‘Oregon, our western mother, wo
will guard thee on and on.
Follows, gather round and cheer her,
chant her glories, Oregon,
Roar the praises of her warriors, sing
tho story Oregon,
On to victory urge tho Sammies of
our Mighty Oregon."
Football Lineup Strong.
"Captain, manager, coach and full
back of the Second Company football
team, Jim Cossman, passed the hat
this morning and received $75 from
Hie boys, to be spent for uniforms for
the coming games. We aro slated for
a game this Saturday. What do you
■
think of a line-up containing Jim and
Leo Cossman, Charlie Johns, Walter
Kennon, Russell. Ralston and others
who tip the beam right around the
two hundred mark and can carry a
pig-skin any place that a mountain
goat can go? Rodney Smith, fresh
man at the ’Varsity last year, is play
ing quarter.
Men Buy Liberty Bonds.
“It may be of interest to you to
know that this regiment has sub
scribed more than $44,000 for liberty
bonds during the past week, making
an average per man far above that
of any civilian population. We take
great pride in knowing that we own
| part of the U. S. government—a won
derfully satiating emotion, I assure
you.”
Ordnance Student Thrown
Into Mill Race
Military Discipline Takes Effect
When Sam Woods, of Port
land, Breaks Rules.
The naked body of Sam Woods,
Portlander who is taking the ordnance
course, turned twice in the air and
splashed into the October waters of
the mill race near the University cam
pus, Monday afternoon.
There was no specific charge made
against Wood by the fifty students of
the ordnance corps who assisted in
the mill race party, but he was de
clared to have violated “18 of the 20
rules” by a Salem attorney who is
now taking the courso and who acted
as prosecutor at a mock trial.
Several freshmen have gone into
the mill race as the result of parties
this fall, but Wood, who is about 30
years old, is said to have been the old
est student to be mill-raced in the
history of the school. None of the reg
ular students of the University took
part in the ceremony.
