TO ASK STATE FOR $100,000 Legislature Will Be Invited to Duplicate Private Gifts for Memorial. (By Mrs. Irene H. Gerlinger) At this glad time of Homecoming for the alumni, and of greeting many new students, it seems opportune to bring to the Emerald readers a message regard ing the proposed Woman’s building. Woman’s League Starts Fund The Woman’s League in 1913, in des- i peration over the total lack of facilities for the women students of the Univer sity, started a fund to provide a build ing for the campus that would serve as a gymnasium, and a center for all their activities. In 1915, the movement was taken up with renewed vigor, and to date $15,549 has been promised for this purpose. Had the war not intervened, and had the alumni given this campaign more definite support, it is probable that the full sum would have been promised by now. However, even in war times, the cause of higher education must not languish. We must all work a little harder and sacrifice a little more for the good of this, our chosen University. To Go to Legislature It is the intention of those having the campaign in charge, to go to the next legislature, and ask them to give dollar for dollar, as much as we can get from private gifts up to $100,000. This will very definitely bring the cam paign to a close by 1920. and ought to mean that we shall have a splendid $200,000 building, adequate for the needs of the next fifty years. As soon as we h'ave accomplished this, we must provide jmore dormitories for the men, and muat jbuild up our scholarships and fellow ships. It is a big undertaking we are engaged in, one in which the help of every un dergraduate, every one of the alumni, every club woman, and every friend of |the University must be forthcoming. To send uut rosiais The Woman’s League expects to send many thousands of postal cards to help this fund. Everyone should make it a point to use these cards, to give away, and to selli as many of them as possible. Every one of the alumni and many of the undergraduates, and every organi zation connected with the University, should have a name on this great mem orial hall. It will be a matter of just pride in the years to come, that each one gave according to his means. Every gift will be listed on the walls of the building. Seniors Should Contribute It is not too early for the present senior class to consider the advisability of making their contribution to this cause a generous one. If our own people do not give this effort most hoary sup port, we cannot expect others to do so. Already this campaign for funds has advertised the Univerity all over the (continued on page six) CO-OP BUSINESS INCREASES Report by M. F. McClain, Manager, Given to Executive Council. Rales amounting to $4,223.30 for the month of October, were reported by M. F. McClain, manager of the Co-oper ative store, to the executive council, which held its weekly meeting Monday afternoon. This is a substantial gain over the corresponding period of last year. The council voted to send the Cni versity band to Portland for the O. A. C. game Thanksgiving Day. The sum of $85 was voted to Miss Helene Delano, to be expended on the campus luncheon Homecoming day. The matter of the freshman game Friday was discussed, and it was de cided to charge $25 admission and to donate all money over and above ex penses. to the i'. M. C. A. Students Friendship fund. Bills amounting to $450 were ordered paid. Those present were James Sheehy. Harold Tregilgas. Charles Dundore. and Roy Couch. Emma Wootten was ab sent. Soldier Boy Has to Do His Own Knitting1. Former University Student Wants a Girl to Make Sweater for Him A sad case of negiect is reported by Dr. Warren D. Smith, professor of geology, on his return from the camp at Fort Stevens. “I though the girls were doing the knitting for the college boys,” he said Monday, "but when I j went down to the fort. I looked into : one of the tents, and there was a boy | from one of my classes in geology try ing to make bis clumsy fingers go as fast as the girls do. “Haven’t you any girl at the Uni versity to knit that for you?” I asked him. “ ‘Well,’ he said sitting th»re cross legged on the bed, and saying something in a whisper about one of the stitches. | ‘if I have, I haven’t met her yet,’ and j he went on knitting.” Dr. Smith will reveal the name of this hapless youth only to a young lady armed with wool and knitting needles, but refuses it for publication. FRESHMEN REGISTER IN OVER COLUMBIA Whitewash Preppers 24-0 in Game Full of Thrills; Chapman and Blake Star. Fror.h Outplay Opponents All Throng'll Except for For ward Passing. Outplaying their adversaries in every department of the game, save one— forward passing—the Oregon freshman eleven walked away with the Columbia Preparatory school team yesterday af ternoon, to the tune of 24—0. The game was full of thrills, with the frosh taking the offensive most of the time. Three minutes after the first whistle bad blown, the freshman had been cred ited with three points by a place kick by Blake. Tlte babes by a series of bucks took the ball down to the thirty yard line, from where the first points were scored. The ball was Oregon’s on the Colum bia 22-.vard line, when play was resumed in the second quarter. The babes took up the offensive again, and scored their first touchdown, when Chapman ran around end for six yards. Blake kicked goal. Columbia could not gain through the heavier Oregon line in the second period, so punted to the freshman twenty-yard mark, from where the babes again began . wading through the enemies’ line. After bucking the line successfully for about forty yards, .Tacobberger shot a beau-r tjful low pass to Chapman, who speared the pigskin on the fifteen-yard line, and ran for another touchdown, his second of the day. Blake again kicked goal. Columbia showed her only real offen sive in the third period, when four or five passes were successful. Their rally was stopped, however, by the blowing of the whistle ending the quarter. The frosh made the score 24 to 0 in the fourth quarter, when Blake ran thir ty-five yards for a touchdown, on an . off tackle play. This ended the scoring ; an! from this time on, the play was in the middle of the field. The game was filled with sensational jh.ys, in whirh both sides participated. The visitors were greatly handicapped in weight, being outweighed by a good margin. The rival teams lined up as follows: ; Columbia Position Ore. Frosh Lake . R-E. Brock Terwilliger _ K.T.

Several Hundred Witness Con flagration After Down town Ralty. Speaking last night in the glare of the bonfire of the class of 1921, from the center of a great mass of Oregon stu dents, the biggest rally of the year, Coach Bezdek said that the traditional Oregon spirit may have been slumbering this year around campus. lie could see it at last living and behind the Oregon team, evidenced by the spirit of last night’s pre-game rally. In the perfect evening, hundreds of Eng ne people and alumni of the Uni versity, gatehered to watch the long serpentine from the ! Diversity to the Ilex Theater, and back. Bezdek. called to the speaker’s stand, was grave and looked long above Kin caid field, and saw it was dear. “I have been praying for rain,” the coach slid. “I have seen times like this before, whf." everything was against Oregon. We are pinning our faith <.n a team of 15S pounds. “But Oregon has the fight. We'll ‘fight ’em Oregon’ from start to finish!" President Campbell, the first speaker aL the rally, said “Oregon this year is facing a strong foe, with the old team gone.

Golden Bear Contingent Makes Headquarters at Downtown Hotel Early Yester day Morning. 19 MEN COME WITH SQUAD Coach Smith Looks With Dis favor on Southerners’ Pros pects on Wet Field. Today is Saturday. November 17. In a few hours it will be U:.'!0 o’clock. A few seconds after :,‘!0 there will be the sound of a whittle out Kincaid way. The whistle will tie followed by the thud of a dented stioe against a piece of inflated pigskin, and the annual foot hall classic between the University of Oregon and the University of California, will be started. Nineteen sons of the golden state, ac companied by coaches, Andy Smith and Zeigler; (Iraduato Manager Stroud, and Trainer Volt, arrived early yesterday morning, and immediately set up head quarters at the Oshurn hotel. Captain Foster did not accompany them because of doctor’s orders to leave the pigskin alone, because of injuries which he re ceived in one of the games with southern universities. “Jock” Haynes an! “■Truck" Lane, two stars of the IT. of C. U. of Washington game, were called to military service recently by the draft, so that they were not among the num ber registered at the hotel. However, those two steamrollers with the tank like methods of piercing the enemies’ j defenses, “Dummy” Wells and “Shad” itowe, and he of the nimble kicking toe, Itb hardson, and others of equal fame, were among the mimber who alighted from the train yesterday morning. The Cnliforniaites are praying for sunshine so that the field will be dry. Coach Smith explains that the team has practiced and played on nothing but turf grid irons, so that a muddy, sloppy field will spell disaster for the men, from the state of the poppies. The jiast. week has been a busy one for the Oregon team. Each evening behind closed gates, the Varsity have been put to the tusk of thoroughly mas ticating tin' scrubs, and the frosh eleven. Just what 1ms taken place on the beaten old surface of the Kincaid field, will not eli told by the rough pine boards which surround the gridiron, and as there is none other to tell the University fan is still wondering. One tiling is certain, however, and that is that the effect of those long evenings nf practice has done a great deal for the team. It has made them a. team which looks forward to skinning the golden hear, from a group of prac tically unexperienced men. into a trim hard fighf*ng well oiled, with several ex tra charges of the old Oregon fight. Sport critics of the coast agree that probably the biggest thing which Rez dek’s proteges will have to deal with is the lino bucks, and off tackle plays of the heavy California hacks, but leave it to “Ren.” And the crowd? Ret it suffice to say that predictions are that there will he a line streaming to the gates to Kincaid, hours before the game. Each incoming train is loaded with former students, old grads, sport lovers from ill parts of the state, and hundreds of I prep school students, who are coining | for the week-end, and to help instill I the grand old fight into the moleskins of tile lemon and yellow. The stores of Eugene will be closed during the hours of the game, so that every one can attend toe game. Graduate Manager Tiffany announced last night thnt all soldiers and sailors, who present themselves in uniform, will be admitted to the game free. A letter from one of the Second company men, at Fort Stevens, states that lit) men from the Second and Third com panies are planning to attend the game. During the pnst week over 1000 | seats have „bee.n covered, which with | the grand stand, will serve as reserved i scats. Mr. Tiffany also anounces that there will lie 8000 bleacher seats. Uncle Jape has laid off his sop stuff for the past three days, and as a result | the football field is in almost perfect [ condition. The ground is not thoroughly -t+tt—11• ■ vv• ■ \ er—mm a simhr rain would make it a quagmire. This would suit the Oregon fan to perfeetion, as it would probably mean the defeat of the i foruites, or a scoreless game.
