How large a part does psychology play in the winning of football games, as well as all other contests. Let the best aggregation of football players ever gathered together lose confidence in themselves, or lose sight of the object for which they are striving and only a miracle can save them from defeat. The minute something "gets their goat,” the punch is gone out of the best girdiron machine that ever donned moleskins. It takes something more than inward determination to bolster up a team which has lost its confidence— Old Timers say that “something” is rooting, whole-hearted, steady rooting. There are two kinds of rooting. One is ROOTING!!!! and the other is Just rooting. The student who goes out onto the bleachers at a football game, plants himself in a position where he can keep his eye on a certain girl across the field (and keeps his eyes turned in that direction most of the time), sits like a dummy until the yell leader kicks him to life, when he opens his mouth and drawls out a few words calculated to knock the “pep” out of a dynamo, is a rooter—a rooter of the brand that would not be there at all were it not for the fact that he wants to see the game. He is of the type that makes every excuse to keep away from rallies and spends that time at a pic ture show. When the team loses, he is the first to criticise and put up a hos ier. The ROOTER is the student who-goes into the bleachers with the deter mination to back the team to the limit. His voice has a ring of confidence in it, no matter what odds may be against the team. He is silent only when the signals are being called. He is the man who puts snap into rallies—400 like him can carry Bezdek’s crew to victory in every one of the remaining games. Yes, 400 ROOTERS can put into Oregon’s football machine what no amount of coaching and practice can develop—confidence. Not overconfidence, which is but a mild form’of conceit, but confidence backed up by determination to fight During the coming two days every student must be a ROOTER. Friday night the first big rally of the1 year is to be held and the spirit shown theho will be the spirit which the team will carry with it into the game Saturdav afternoon. Dates, picture shows, dances and the like are of minor impor tance tomorrow night. You are expected to be at the rally and be there as a ROOTER. EMPTY HOUSE GREETS LIBERTY EMU SPEAKER WALTERVILLE PEOPLE FAIL TO TURN OUT FOR BONDS—PRO GERMAN INFLUENCE IS FEARED. Store People Said to Have Suppressed News of Meeting, Reports Prof. Dunn. It 1b disconcerting, thinks Profes sor F. S. Dunn, of tho University of Oregon, to be u speaker at a meeting, with no one in tho audience. This was his experience Saturday evening when he wont with C. 0. Brawner, Insurance agent of Eugene, to Waltervllle, sev enteen miles out of the city, to speak In the Interests of the Liberty Loan. Back of this occurrence lies a sig nificant story. In the opinion of Mr. Dunn. The chairman of the commit tee in charge of organizing the Liberty Loan meeting was Max Gebauor, a merchant of Waltervllle. When the speakers arrived, they went to his store, where they chatted until 7:15, and then went to open the church for their meetin. Mr. Golmuor did not! accompany them. Mr. Brawner and Mr. Dunn waited half an hour, but no one came. Thou they returned to Eugene. “Apparently,” said Mr. Dunn yes terday, “Gebauer is pro-German. Wo were suspicious of him, and inquired at Thurston on the way hack, finding that such is his reputation in the sur rounding country. He had evidently given such vague Impressions of the time and place and purpose of the meeting that the people really knew nothing definite about it.” "About ”00 or 300 farmers, many of them wealthy, live near Waltervllle, and we had expected them to show some Interest in the Liberty Loan campaign. Beside giving no definite information as to the meeting, Ge hauer’s influence has extended to the people of the little town, as evidenced by the actions of the young boys around his store” • Gebauer's father, a native German, was in the store when Mr. Brawner and Mr. Dunn arrived, and they talked with him wh'U Gebauer was busy elsewhere. When Gebauer returned he asked them not te pay any atten tion to what his father had sj^ld. since he was getting childish, thus giving them the idea, said Mr. Dunn, that Gebauer fea'fd his father might have let something out concerning Ids Ger-1 man sympathies. HALLOWE’EN PARTY BEING PLANNED TO TAKE PLACE OF Y. M.-Y. W. MIX Change Made Necessary by Conflict With Dramatic Class Plays and Pajama Parade. The all-University reception which was to have been held Friday evening under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A„ lias been called off indefinitely because of a conflict with the pajama parade and the plays to be given by classes in dramatic in terpretation for the benefit of the Red Cross. The purpose of the annual mix is to get acquainted, but now that nearly everyone is more or loss acquainted, and due to the fact that there are no more open dates for the reception, the joint committee feels that this so ciality should be callod off for tills term. To fake file place of the recep tion, a Hallowe’en party is being planned, to bo given at the bungalow Friday evening, November 2nd* to which all of the students will bo wel come. PAJAMA PARADE TOMORROW (Concluded from page 1.) there the procession will march and serpentine and “oskle" aud hoop and howl and have a good time down the streets until Willamette street is reached. Hero a second bag of fun will open and the parade will cyclone into the Uex theatre and after the es sence of pep is scattered about the building the procession will meander on its joyful way down the street, vis iting other stores, listening to enthus iastic speeches of townspeople and University jazz kings. And now for the climax. After the city streets of Eugene have been swept witli a terrible charge of pep and the townspeople wake up and say "Well, 1 declare. Hud thunk the Uni versity war year students could dis play any such amount of pep as that." The parade will head for the campus and will visit the various sorority houses. Treat for Frosh. This should be a treat to the frosh, especially, as it will give many of them a chance to see the interior of those cherished domiciles of which they have heard so much. It lias ‘been rumored well, but we won't tel! you. but let it suffice to say that it is a pretty safe bet for anyone to attend the parade without supper for most of the sorority houses have wonderful cooks. After the sorority girls have had a chance to admire the costumes the pa rade will head for the library where it will disband.0 “Come on, gang, get your gay togs on. Let’s go, we’re off for a wonder ful year. We have a great school. We have a great state. We have a great football team. We have a great stu dent body, and let’s have a great pe rade.” LEADER PROBABLY IS ON HIS WAY-ONTHANK (Concluded from page 1.) poning the purchase of clothes be cause of the uncertainty of the drill situation. “However, since drill is assured at some time in the very near future, the purchase of tan shoes at least is advocated as the most economical plan for all men who will be here during the entire year. The purchase of uniforms of some kind is assured, and since tan shoes are serviceable and at the same time are part of a uniform equipment, their use is ad vised. “When the uniforms are adopted” said Mr. Onthank, “I personally be lieve it would be advisable to adopt the custom of wearing the uniform on all occasions, both to classes and to drill. Especially does this seem ad visable during the period of the war, both for the psychological effect on the morale of the University and as a step toward the saving of cloth. A uniform is the most serviceable suit one can wear.” OREGON STUDENT WOULD LIKE LETTERS John P. Jaeb, Now With Hospital Corps, Writes About Service. A letter has been received by Karl Onthank, secretary to President Camp bell. from John P. Jaeb, a University sophomore last year. Jaeb enlisted last year when the call came for men, and is now sta tioned with the hospital corps at Van couver, Washington. He went through some difficulty in getting into the real army service, but says that he likes the work. He says in his letter that he would be extremely pleased to hear from any of the University students. His present address is Barracks 37, Vancouver, Wash. In the same corps with Jaeb are Hodson, Mast, and Leslie, who attend ed the University last year. There is one safe investment for everyone—a U. S. Liberty Bond.
