IMIS BUILDING
Mrs. Gerlinger Appeals to Every
Alumnus, Friend and Stu
dent to Have Name
on Building.
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

Rales amounting to $4,223.30 for the
month of October, were reported by M.

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.

Bezdek. called to the speaker’s stand,

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

Total Now $600 Over Oregon's Quota;
Campus Not Entirely Covered by
Local Canvass.
With $400 added Friday, the Student

Secretary James .Vluepherson is eager

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.
