Oregon Emerald EUGENE, OREGON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 27. 1917. NO. 25. VOL. 19. Tiffany Receives Reply to His Inquiry Regarding Cancel lation of Oregon Game in Eugene. WILL ASK CONFERENCE TO CONSIDER QUESTION University Delegates Opposed to Any Change in Ruling Regarding Freshmen. The Universtiy of Washington has no intention to pay its guarantee of $1500 tc the University of Oregon, which was included in the terms of a football con tract made at the first of last year and broken by Washington this year. This is the substance of a message received this morning by Graduate Man ager Tiffany from the athletic manage ment of the Washington school, in re sponse to a request recently made by Mr. Tiffany that Washington comply with the terms of the contract or give proof of the contract’s cancellation. The contract called for two games in two years. Oregon was to have the choice oi playing the first game, Washington the choice of the second, and it was agreed that this year’s game should be played at Seattle since Washington played hen last year. Oregon Paid Guarantee. Oregon paid $1500 to Washington las 1 year as the amount guaranteed for tin i visiting team and by the same terms was to receive $1500 from the proceeds ol the game at Seattle this year. It was expected that after failing to play. Washington would pay the $1500 guar anteed, but this she has bluntly refused to do. “The question of Washington refus ing to pay her guarantee,” said l’rof. H. C. Howe, “will be the principal point that Oregon will bring up at the Coast Conference meeting to be held in San Francisco Monday. The other question which it is known will be brought up and in which Oregon is interested, is the freshman rule which O. A. C. will prob ably try to have revoked.” Will Oppose Any Change. “Oregon’s attitude on the freshman rulej has not changed.” said Prof. Howe.I who with Graduate Manager Tiffany, willl represent Oregon at the conference. | “We cannot consent to the revoking oil •♦the freshman rule, for the faculty liasl consistently held that freshmen wo id a | not be permitted to play at Oregon,” said (Continued on page three) CITY RED CROSS TO HAVE FOOD SALE TOMORROW Suggested That Fraternities Buy Thanks giving Supplies at Headquar ters Downtown. A food sate for which all kinds of food materials are acceptable will be held by the city chapter of the Red Cross on Tuesday and Wednesday ,in the old Caswell and Whitton store on Will amette street. This plan was made in order (that the people who have been nnable to contribute money for Red Cross work may have an opportunity to contribute food for the sale. The pro ceeds of which will be turned into the fund. Pies, cakes, cookies, jellies, cooked meats, raw meat, vegetables, chickens or turkeys, alive or dead, are all accep table and will be gladly received. ' An invitation was given to the campus auxiliary to participate in the sale, but at a meeting !the girls decided that thej would patronize and advertise the sale, but had nothing to contribute toward it. It was suggested that the fraternities and sororities buy their Thanksgiving supplies at the Red Cross market. ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦❖♦♦♦♦«•♦<$> ♦ “We are going into the game ♦ ♦ under a big handicap.

Coach I’ipal, ♦ All Oregon Watching Team With the flnartng days, the whirl of the leaves and the gobble of the turkey, "The Eyes of the Pacific Coast” have [been called from the battlefields of Europe to a battlefield closer to home— the white lined mixing grounds known as Multnomah field--where on turkey day a “Belgiumized” Oregon eleven will meet a mass of bone and muscle with spiked shoes and nailed hands, known as the Aggie football team. Who will win? The sport writers of the const, men who have studied the two teams from every angle for the past season, say that-it is impossible to prediot the winner from the games played and the scores made by the two teams during the past two months, and they point To the laot that the result of the Oregon-O. A. C. game is always the one big surprise of the Pacific Coast football schedule. Fans Have Waked Up The bright hope of victory over O. A. C. which shone to the Oregon students on the night of that eventful day when the Golden Bears sought their den with a load of 21 to 0 bu.-hshot hidden ni their slothful hides, has dimmed to a certain extent, for during the past few days the Oregon fan has waked up to the fact that Oregon’s victory over California •vns in many ways u miracle, not likely to be repeated th;s season. The fact ’■nine to them slowly at first, but soon * itli a staggering blow, that O. A. C. his year has one of the best group >f pigskin-chasers which have ever toss ed the oval ball on the O. A. C. grid iron. They began to investigate and found out that th‘; O. A. C. warriors have shown a better class of football in every game than the Oregon gridsters have played, with the exception of the California game, than the Oregon grhi stors have played. They found out that the Aggies outweigh the Oregon score makers fully 15 pounds to a man and that they have a baekfield composed of big men of the California type, who m have a reputation of hitting the line hard. Then the fa t came to their view that O. A. C. has seven old players back in the ranks and that on the Ore gon eleven, there is not a single man who has had a year’s experience on the regular varsity lineup. Oregon Has Fighting Chance Then it was that the Oregon man woke up with a terrible load of care on his mind; "The odds are that O. A. C. will win over Oregon.” Gone was that "sure we'll beat” idea and instead, the thought became surplanted in the minds of every student that Ore gon has but a fighting chance and that it will be “Oregon fight” that will add another victory to the Oregon list, in stead of the list across the page. The lull which precedes a storm has come. A hush has fallen over the Aggie camp. A sort of foreboding, impending disaster hush. For the past week Coach Pipal has put the men through the hardest of practices, with long nights of blackboard talks and signal practice in the armory. Elmer Leader, Sam Dolan, Philbrook, all men who have officiated in games which Oregon inis played in. and It. I.. Matthews, coach of the Willamette I'ni vetrsity eleven, who sat on the Oregon bench as a guest during the California game, have made the Aggie headquarters their home for the past week and have aided Coach Pipal in the final prepara tion of his proteges. Reports from over Corvallis way say that the men are in 'the prime of condition and that their morale is at tie top of the therm mometer .especially since the O. A. C. 'rooks managed to shamble away with the game from the Oregon babes. The team received a damaging blow when Captain Meier Newman received an injured shoulder in the Washington tussle. Newman was one of the Aggies’ nose-busting, line-bucking heroes, and the sport critics of the two teams agree that his loss was a grc-Tt: one, although Lee BissePt, the 170 pound Newberg lad. who hns planted his foot under the var sity team training table for the past three years, will fill his place with ease. Final Plans Behind Closed Doors The eleated-shoe men of the Univer sity have made tluir final preparation behind closed doors for the past week, and old Kincaid field could have well been the inner court in an «»Ui feudal castle, as far as the outside observers’ knowledge of wlmt was going on inside is concerned. It will be a crippled lineup which will greet the Corvallis lads when they trot onto the white lined level in the rose city. Carl Nelson, who hurled his lt!4 pounds through the mushy walls of tin' California line time and time again in the Oregon.California contest, and ill doing so upset many a well-planned attack of a California charger, had Ids ankle badly sprained and the nerves in his foot shattered during practice last week. It is probable that he will strut the contest, although Stan Anderson has been filling his place at tackle during the pnsft week of practice. Stan is just getting over an attack of blood poison ing. Dot Medley Out The greatest loss, which the team has suffered during the past season, comes in the shape of a had injury which Dot Medley received in 'the final moments of the California game, when h<‘ tackled the mammoth Wells, and in doing so. landed with his shoulder com ing into a smashing contact with the big hack’s knee. His shoulder is in such shape that his arm has been prac tically paralyzed during 'the past week and it would bo suicide for him to don his war togs. Dwight Wilson, Dow’s 140-pound brother. who hns been out of the latter games of the season since the Washington state game on account of injuries has been filling Med ley’s place in the buckfield. The pre-contest rumors that ('oaeh Bezdck is going to spring some “knock cm dead’ plays in the coming contes1 have as usual been circulated. .lust what has boon going on bohind those four pine board walls during the past wool;, will never h- known mv;il the day of tli- game- but leave that to "He/." Steers Best Kicker There are sure to be some gasps of wonder spring up from the granstauds when the educated toes of Hill Steers and Carl Lodoll swing on that ball. It is tin' general opinion of the followers of the oval ball, that Steers will have the edge in this department, although I.odell’s boot, lias saved the Aggies many yards of hard serin mage. Keep yotu eyes on the yard arms when ever either team works its way down i-n.to “no man’s land" for something is likely to go "over the top." With their heavy baekfield men tin Aggies will probably seek to batter the OVegon line into submission, over and through it for their points. This was California's mode of attack, but He/’. brains and Oregon fight, was more that Andy Smith's beef and California ooulu stop, although l iiele Andy says his boys lost because Hull icplnced llimsen ill center, and 'that Hull couldn’t throw straight, which si .wed up the Hears' attack so that it didn't get away with the snap, which would have punctured the On goo line, as would have been .lie ease if llansen had. been in the center position. Bez Can Oi.t-Fox Pipal Fandom agrees that there is no ques tion but what Bezdek can out-fox l'ipal any time, any place and anywhere, and sport critics arc worrying for fear Ore gon will not get tin hall enough to show up the cunning offensive plays which Be/.dek lias developed for the Oregon at tack. Should the heavy O. A. C. men take a lease on the ball, Oregon fans fear foi the defensive, but still the Ore gon defensive left i o cause for worry ill the California game -so there it goes I The team will leave Wednesday morn ing for Portland and will make its head quarters at the Imperial hotel.

C. has had to content her self with three wins. Four times the two teams have played each other to tie games. Teams representing the lemon and green have piled up a total score of 237 points for the twenty games, compared with 68 points regis tered by the “Beavers.” Oregon Las made an average score of 11.6 points per 'ume.' compared with 3.4 points registered by 0.
