OREGON'S VICTORY UPSETSJLL DOPE Prophets at Sea Trying to Pick Winner of Contest With Aggies at Portland. BEZDEK SOUNDS WARNING Coach Urges, “Don’t Get Cocky;” Little Data to Give Line on Chances. When the Oregon team beat Cali fornia in last Saturday's fray on Kincaid Field, the sport dopesters of the north west Teoeived another setback. The ■ sport prophets of this section of the 'country were almost unanimous in the opinion that the southern university would down its much lighter and less experienced rival by a good margin, and when Bezdek's warriors downed the Gol den Bear, another instance of the un certainty of the journalists’ pastime of picking the winner before-lmnd, was made history. As a consequence of the surprise, the forecasters are now in doubt as to the Oegon-Aggie contest in Portland, on Thanksgiving Day. Up till last week the- Corvallis institution seemed to have tbe advantage in that they had held ■their opponents to much smaller scores than the varsity had, but now the dope j is completely upset. r Both Beat Multnomah At the beginning of the season. Mult nomah club of Portland, was downed to the tune of 14 to 7 by the Varsity. A few weeks later, the same aggregation with a great deal more practice held the ■Aggie eleven, to a 6 to 0 score. Noth ing definite was based on these two contests. However, when Fipal’g out fit sent the Idaho team home with the short end of a 26 to 6 tally, the fore casters immediately began to pick his i team as the favorite for the Thauks | giving classic, for Bezdek's warriors had ! only been able to score a two-touchdown i margin on the eastern institution. On top of this, the Aggie squad were able to' hold Dietz’s Washington State crew to a 6 to 0 score, whereas this aggre gation had downed the smaller Eugene eleven by the tremendous score of 26 to 3. All these things considered, the so-called dopsters began believing that the only thing that would win for the Varsity would be that unconquerable Oregon spirit, which prevailed to such a great extent in last Saturday’s classic. Realizing between the two institutions for the last thirteen years, still the writers thought that the O. A. C. eleven had the odds for this game. Now a Jumble of Scores Now the entire matter is a jumble of mixed scores. Pipal’s men were defeated by the Bear Staters on the California gridiron by a 14 to .1 score. Comprising this battle with that on Kincaid Field last Saturday, seems to give Oregon the advantage for next Thursday. But in taking into account this difference i* must ho remembered that in that game, the California eleven played upon their native gridiron, and therefore had a great advantage, as compared with their playing on Kincaid Field against Bez dek's fighters. Reports were received from Corvallis yesterday morning that “Darkhorse” Newman, captain and fullback on the Aggie eleven, will he unable to partici pate in the fray. Whether or not this is one of Pipsl’s “bear stories” is un certain, but it may be taken for granted that every possible regular will he pitted against the Varsity. “Scooty” Dutton, who last year was kept out because of injuries, has been out with the squad during the last few days, and is doing bin utmost to get into condition for the contest. No other serious injuries were rnecived by the agriculturists, so the team ns a whole will be in good condi tion. Varsity Men in Good Shape As for the Varsity, it may be said that no really serious injuries were Dustin Farnum in THE SPY An expose 'of the German Spy System SAVOY THEATRE Wednesday & Thill's.

Also, Stan Anderson will he out again in a few days, having recovered from * ease of blood poisoning. So taking all things into consideration, a real battle may be expected in Portland, next Thursday. Coach Bezdek held a light workout with his men yesterday afternoon. Sig nal practice took up most of the time, which was shortened in order that the men might celebrate their own victory by dancing with the other students, in the gymnasium. Bozdek's main wateii word for the coming contest is "Don’t Get Cocky.” and it was with this phase ^of the situation, that he dealt at length in yesterday’s war talk to the men. Team Surprises Coach “The boys surely surprised me,' he said, “but we must remember that the big battle is yet before us.” A more strenuous practice will be held tomorrow, a scrimmage with the freshmen, behind closed gates, being the ran in thing. The practice from now on will all he secret in order that an in tensive training may be had, and all j followers of Bezdek will be prohibited from seeing the men work again until the ' Thanksgiving Day celebration. BAND BOYS SEND CARDS Norman Byrne and Lee Bourne Remem ber Oregon From Distant Lands. Although former students of the Uni versity are now in distant parts of the country, or even in foreign lands, they cnnr.ot forget their alma mater. Mr. Albert Perfect, the director of the Uni versity band, recently received cards from former students who played in the T niversity hand. One came from Nor man Byrne, who is playing with a mar ine band, now in Peking. Chinn. Another was front Lee M. Bowne, a member of the former Mrd Regiment Oregon band, which until recently was stationed at Lon Island, N. Y. In the same band with Bowne, are Potter, Crowner and Simpson, all being former Oregon stu dents ALUMNI COUNCIL MEETS DURING HOMECOMING Will Send Emeralds to Members of As sedation in Service. Also to Those Who Pay Dues. The Oregon Alumni Council held its meeting last Saturday afternoon in John son hall with Walter C. Winslow in the chair. After a few minutes of greeting the council was called to order and pro ceeded to work. Dean Walker was elected to fill the vacancy existing in the council, succeed ing Edward Bailey. A motion was adopted to the effect that the council arrange to send copies of the Emerald to members of the Alum ni who are now in the army, navy or ma rine service. Mrs. Alice Benson Beach was appointed chairman of a committee to provide a means for raising funds, with which to send the Emeralds. It was also decided to send Emeralds to members of the Alumni who pay up their dues. Those attending the council meeting were Walter C. Winslow, Mrs. Camille Carroll Bovard, Karl W. Onthank, Mrs. W. T. Harris, Jerry E. Bronnugh, Mar ion McClain and Norma Hendricks. The council will hold its next meeting in January. THE HONORS OF ATROCITY. The Sultan of Turkey has graciously conferred on the German Kaiser the diamond star of the Iftichar Order, Tur key’s highest war decoration, and the Kaiser has decorated the Sultan with the star and chain of the Ilohenzollern Or der with diamonds. The honors are even—the hero of the Belgian and Lusitania murders honors and is honored by the hero of Armenian massacres. No one will question the deserving of the honors or the respective fitness of the mutual donors and recip ients. But to the intelligence and conscience of the world a Liberty Loan button, showing that an American citizen has done his or her part in support of our . government, is a vastly more honorable decoration than the diamond orders of the Sultan and the Kaiser, ft signifies only a simple patriotic duty done; but the diamond orders stand for colossal infamy and murder.

(Continued from puce one) Followin'? President Campbell, Couch llezdek was called upon for a speech, lie responded by urging all upperclass men to repent to the new students the old traditions and fireside stories of the Oregon of the past. Coaoh Gives Warning ‘I ant convinced,” Coach Bezdek said, “that it does not take experience to make a football player if the man has tin- heart, and the mind and the deter- i initiation to do. Saturday the boys i played a game far better than I had expected, but we do not want to be overcome with overconfidence. The Oregon Agricultural College game at Portland, on Thanksgiving is going to be a hard game. The one place we.don’t want to be beaten, is in Portland.” Good old Bill Hayward was called upon next, and after having given the “famous lady” n few smiles, he turned to the audience and responded with a few well-directed words. Following Bill Hayward, Bean Walker and members of the team, wore called upon for short talks. All present responded. Each was given three rahs before and after speaking. Informal Dance Hold After the last man bad spoken, Presi dent Campbell announced that an in formal dance would lie held in the gymnasium at 4 p. m. For this an nouncement. President Campbell was given a mighty ovation of cheers, after which, the rally broke up at Yillard. At 4 p. m. sharp, the rooters ouce more gathered together, this time at the gymnasium. With the hand playing catchy airs, and lively step music, more than 150 couples gave way to two hours of informal dancing. A few min utes before ft, the hand struck up “Mighty Oregon,” and with the fading of the last notes, came the end of Ore gon's rally, which celebrated the victory over California. A Caso of Mistaken Identity Soldiers have to do their own mending, and the thoughtful war office supplies them witli outfits for that purpose.

You’rre all right, apparently,” growled the officer. Then ho barked, “Housewife?” “Oh, ver.v well, thank you.” said the recruit, amiably; “how’s yours?” Ho Lost His Enthusiasm The worried countenance of the bride groom disturbed the best man. Tiptoe ing up the aisle, lie whispered: “What’s the matter, Jock? Tine yc lost the ring?” “No,” blurted out the unhappy Jock, “the ring’s safe eno’.
