Thursday Oregon’s football machine is to be put to the cru cial test. For nearly eight weeks those 25 or 30 men who make up the Varsity squad have been toiling night after night in pre paration for this, the crowning event of the gridiron season, the annual contest which has become known throughout the North west as the Oregon state classic — the Oregon-O. A. C. game. When the referee’s whistle sounds the opening of the first quar ter, eleven men, the lightest to ever represent the lemon-yellow in such a battle, will take their places to represent the University colors. Those eleven men will represent more than just the Univer sity of Oregon—they will stand for the thousands of men and women who in past years and present have learned to love Old Oregon and speak with pride of their Alma Mater. To these men is intrusted all of the honors which have fallen to the lot of the University: they are theirs to defend. It does not follow that these men must win. If win they do and by honorable means, then they have fulfilled their trust in the greatest measure. But should they lose and go down to de feat before a better team fighting to the last ditch, then we will honor them none the less for their defeat. Thursday Oregon is going to ask the exertion of every ounce of energy in those eleven human bodies and will get it. Nor is the University going to stop with the men on the team. Of every man and woman who claims to be of Oregon will be be asked the same measure of devotion and determina tion. There is a place for everyone who would fight for Oregon —if not on the field, then up there in the bleachers, rooting, yell ing—putting behind the team the same fight the team is putting into their game for the honor and glory of Old Oregon. Word Received Allows Those in Stores Course Drafted to Join Army After December 15. Department Permits Different Methods of Obtaining Men for This Branch. Students iu the oidnance courses of the School of Commerce will not be governed by the remit war department orders prohibiting nun subject to draft from enlisting iu the army after lie combe'- 15. Tliis positive nssurnn e was received on Monday by Professor C. C. Jere miah, in charge of the ordtiunce work on the rumpus. It moans that men who arc accepted for the ordnance class to be formed here early in January will bo permitted to continue in that work even though they aje called up for draft afterwards. Professor Jeremiah's information came in the form of the following letter from Lieutenant Itichard 11. Lansburgh, in charge of the supply division of the ord nance department a' Washington, l'. C.t Questions Are liaised "The fact that newspapers have pub lished statements that it will he impos sible to enlist voluntarily in the army alter I ha-ember 15 has doubt less caused questions to arise iu connection with the enlistment of men for the stores courses. "It should be stated that this an nouncement, which has appeared in the newspapers, shoiil.l in no way affect your effort? in the direction of recruiting men for the courses. S'ep* are now being tHken by this offi e to secure the men whom it is desired to obtain, although it is probable that it will t<e necessary^ to use a sljghtlv different procedure than that w hich has i eca utilised during the last month." Just what is thu "slightly different procedure,” referred to by Lieutenant Lansburgh, is not apparent, but it prob ably ri'eans 'that the standards of quali fications for applicants to the stores courses will he raist il. All College Men The second class of applicants now taking the course on 'he campus consists almost entirely of college men and ex college men. The t idy exceptions are men who have had unusual business training to fit them for the work. Professor Jerem'.ih already has 150 applications for the January course but will not begin to make his selections ftvr several weeks. Men who complete tne ordnance work with satisfactory grades, at once are taken into the ordnance department of the regular nnn.v. Those with the best grades are made corporals or sergeants. The others become privates. No com missions are granted students upon com pletion of this work, but it is possible for them to attain commissions by meri torious work in actual service. WASHINGTON AND OREGON DUAL DEBATE ASSURED Letter deceived From Dean Priest, of j Seattle—Third College May Heplace Stanford. A dual debate with Washington is j assured t\»r this year despite Stanford's 1 withdrawal from the tri-state debate ! ; league, according to a 'otter received , from Arthur 1‘riest. hea , of the depart 1 ment of public opes kin ; at the Univer sity of Washington. IVssildy another col. 'go ntay be se I cured to take Stanford', place, but in any event. Washington am. Oregon will! meet on the platform. hTe time set for the debate with Washington is March >, but as yet the question has not been j : decided. The date for the O. a f. debate is ' again uncertain Vtter considerable cor respondence, December IS was thought to be acceptable t' both sides, but O. ; A. Pi now finds ft impossible K> have | it at that time and suggests December | 1.1 r IT 1'he forensic council has not decided whether Oregon can accept eith-^ er proposal. SEEKS TO WIN SECRET Dr. Caswell of Physics Depart ment Conducting Experiments. Thermo-Electric Effects in Passing' Currents Are Objects of Research. Dr. A. E. Caswell, of the physics de partment, has for the past seven or eight years been conducting experiments and research work with the end in view of solving and explaining certain thermo electric effects. These phenomena have to do with the effects of passing elec tric currents through one and two-metal wires in different directions. For instance, if a current of electricity is passed through on iron wire tipped with copper, the wire will become hot when the current :s passed through one direction, but will remain cold if passed through the other way. In the ease of a one-metal wire, too much heat will be generated at one end and too little at 'the other. To explain such effects, which are un accounted for in the scientific world, Dr. Caswell has conducted experiments of fiis own and compiled data of the evidence of the behavior of the elec trons. In working mit his experiments, Dr. Caswell explains that the atom organ ization of any substance is likened to a small solar system, with each atom prop er around which the electrons revolve, comparable to the sun, around which the planets rotaite. Like the solar sys tem again, according to Dr. Caswell, there are certain unknown electrons that come and go. unaccountably as do the comets in the planetary system. It is these unknown electrons that cause the differences in passing electric currents through the wires. Dr. Caswell explains, and through his experiments of measuring Ithe'different effects ob tained by different conditions, he hopes to he able to find out what becomes of the comet electron, and to explain (he thermo-electric effects. In all his experiments Dr. Caswell uses apparatus designed by himself and new methods in all eases. In casting the wires for the electric current tests, experiment was made with a number of different alloys, using all the way from pure hismuith to six per cent tiu. Cecil McKay, who did post-graduate work iu the University of Oregon last year, and is now in the national service, assisted Dr. Caswell in his research. ALL TO RECEIVE EMERALD Money Raised to Send Paper to Oregon Men In Service. At a late meeting of the executive committee of the student council. $100 was subscribed for the purpose of send ing the Emerald to every man who has left the University in the last two years and has joined some branch of the ser vice. There are between 400 and 500 men in this classification, and only about 200 alt present receive the Emerald. To make it easier to take care of the ad dresses that come in the University ad ministration has consented to receive them at the business office, where they will be filed. Following the lead of the student body, the alumni association of the Uni versity is working cn a plan to raise another ?100 to help in the distribution of the Emerald. Gloom Dispelling Pepfest to Rouse Old Oregon Fight (Continued from page one) football enthusiast of Eugene, all of them notbable pep-installers, are on the list of speakers. The whole football squad also will be on the stage. Student Boay on Edge The kenyoke of the entire ceremonies will be “jazz” and “pep.” During the past few days thj fight has been re vived until now the entire student body is on edge awaiting the big event of Thursday. “Slim,” Crandall, varsity yell king will take take charge of khe pepfest, and the whole event is to be even greater than the California rally a weel^ ago. No gloom is to prevail under any cir cumstances. and if anyone leaves Villard tonigh in doubt as to whether or not Oregon is going to win. the old familiar expression about the “race running cold” will apply to upper ns well as underclass men. To Give Team Sendoff Tomorrow at 7:35 a. m., as a last spurt, before the Portland ceremonies, the entire student body should be at the Oregon Electric station to give the squad the final sendoff. The band is to be out in full force, to play the final pep music which is to be continued on the streets of the big city a few hours later. “We have a hard battle before us,” said Crandiill today, “and every one of us will have to fight till the end. The j Aggies are going thirteen hundred strong and our only way of making up for the lack of numbers is to put forth more than we ever did before. We can not get along with anything less than a victory, so let’s go from here!” | - GIRLS’ BAND TO GIVE DANCE Affair Will Be Held in Gymnasium De cember 14 to Raise Money for Music.
