The Winged-M will journey to Eugene ■full of confidence and will undoubtedly j put up the snappiest kind of football. In a recent long-distance conversation with Doan Walker, George Bertz, manager of j the Multnomah team, said that he laid | an exceptionally strong eleven, and that they were out after the scalp of the Lemon Yellow. Oregon will go into the game having had only one week of practice—the least ever had before an opening game. Due to misunderstandings and conflicts, many of the men have not appeared regularly, and Coach “Shy” Huntington has had little chance to whip them into shape. The Varsity this year will probably he composed almost entirely of last year’s freshman team, and so far, it is an unknown factor. Saturday's game wili be a real test and will give a line on the season's prospects. In spite of the enor mous difficulties encountered, it is ex pected that Oregon will once more iurn put a winning team. The Multnomah team is said to have Fin unusually strong line and Coach Pliil brook is counting largely on that to win the victory for the Portlanders. Ilughie McKenna, a former Columbia University star, will appear in the club’s line-up, and much is expected from him. The backfield of the Winged-M has been greatly strengthened lately by Fred Kehbein, a former Lehigh University halfback. Coach “Shy” Huntington will make no predictions concerning the outcome of the game. It. is impossible to say wno will win,” ho saiil. “I understand that the Multno mah club lias a strong team. We are working under exceptional conditions and it would be foolish to attempt any pre diction at this time. The only thing to say Is that we will do the best we can for the University, and we expect the Uni versity to do its best for ns in support.” “I aru not satisfied with the support the team is getting at present. There fcave been seventy uniforms issued, and forty men on the average, are re porting for practice. That means that some one is riot doing the right thing by the college. There must he more men out. There are plenty of husky men about llie campus, and every one of them should be on the field at four o'clock every af ternoon. Spectators Wanted at Practice. “We also want more people out to watch practice. The University must let the team know that it is backing it to tiie limit. The grandstand should he fiTled every afternoon. If you have the Oregon Spirit, come out and encourage the team.” Scrimmage was held on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. Tomorrow the team will have light practice, and run tivough signals. preparatory to the game. The whistle will blow at 2:30 Saturday afternoon, following the annual nrder ;lass mix. Student body tickets will ad mit to the game. Members of the 8. A. T. C. may obtain their tickets upon oppli •ation at the registrar's office If One Could Only Sing Without Opening One’s Mouth; But — Wanted: Someone to discover how to sing without opening the mouth. The bright person who is fortunate enough to invent some plan will be al lowed to attend the community sing at the armory. But unless such a one is dis covered no University student will be able to give his vocal cords and chords exercise Friday night, according to an. order issued by President Campbell at the assembly Wednesday. The people of Eugene and the students of the University were to have a chummy little gathering and display iheir patriot ism and singing qualities. But the heultn committee decided that such a rally would raise a lot of dust, which would find plenty of open doors during the rendition of such things as the “Star Spangled Banner.” Fear that after such a rally there would be more people who could say “I opened my mouth and in-flu-enza,” caused the abandonment of the idea. Instead of letting the deadly germ cir culate in a crowded armory, the students are to hold a rally’all their own out on Kincaid field to give the Cist football game of the year the right kind of a send-off. Friendly Hall Men Eat From Hands of Celebrities on K. P. “This army lifo ain't so bad, >y’ know, when you have millionaires and promi nent statesmen handing- out the chow.” “What d’ ye mean millionaires? Those fellows on Iv- P. today? Well, what do you know about that?" All of which gives the gist of several' bits of conversation which were flying about the big new cafeteria ;n Friendly bail, on the campus, where the men of the Oregon State Officers’ Training Camp are assembling for mess these days. For some prominent men were on kitchen police duty that day. Prominent among the waiters who kept the long serpentine moving was Harry L. Corbett. Portland capitalist. Henri Cloutier, late manager of the Multnomah hotel, in Portland, was in the group with Corbett. Others who did their bit among the plates and kettles were State Senator Julien Hurley, of Malheur county, and Plowden Stott (Stanford ’07) former noted athlete, now Portland law yer. More than 250 men are enioiled in the Officers’ Training Camp, and they take their turn3 at keeping tlm home fires burning by carrying trays, peeling pota toes. clearing tables and otherwise help ing keep the formidable aggregation of militant appetites in check.

All campus and student social affairs and public and studept gatherings ex cept regular classes are prohibited until further notice according to a special announcement issued this morning by John F. Mo card, chairman of the stu dent health committee at the University. Dangerous cases of influenza have not yet developed the announcement states but the number of severe colds and grip pe and the danger of the rapid spread of these as well as of th influenza make it necessary that every means of pre caution be taken to prevent an epidmie. The whole number of cases at last re port was 179 The total number of men confined yesterday was 42. Of this number, 35 are at the Mercy hospital, three at the Eugene hospital, 33 at the S. A. T. C. hospital, three at home andr 55 confined to quarters. Fifteen men of the O. T. C. were reported sick yesterday. The Kincaid house on Fourteenth and Alder Streets is to be used as a tem porary infirmary for the wo,men until the house on University Avenue is ready for occupation. Miss Margaret Morris trained nurse will have charge of the sick women here. Yesterday 17 cases of bad colds among the women hal been reported. Of these seven were Hen dricks Ilall residents, four Alpha l’his, one Tri f)elt, one Theta, two Kappas and two outside girls. All serious cases are to be moved to the Kincaid house. Dean Ehrmann spoke to the Hen dricks Hall girls yesterday urging them to take every care of their health. She announced that every girl must have a thermometer in her room and not allow the temperature to rise above 72 de grees.

LEE BARTHOLOMEW QUITS “Emerald" Business Staff Short Hand ca; Freshmen are Eligible, Another vacancy <>n the staff of the business manager of the Eincraid is thrown open through the resignation of Lee Bartholomew, who was appointed recently after lie had secured some two hundred subscriptions to the Emerald, topping till tin* other solicitors. The place will be filled from the business staff which at present consists of but two or three aside from Harris Ells worth, maftnger. The business staff is short handed, and much in need of either girls or boys to aid in gathering the advertising copy for the Emerald, according to Ellsworth. Freshmen are eligible to Mills activity. New members of the staff will be given a chance for the circulation manager position to be vacated by Bartholomew. The Emerald “O” awarded to the best reporters and leading members of the business staff last, year will be continued this year, and with the present small business staff practically every one be ginning early in th eyear will be able to get the award, Ellsworth said. MIX MAY BE POSTPONED Under Classes will Hold Meetings to Decide. It is possible that the annual sopho more-freshman mix, which in past years has been a preliminary to the first foot ball game to be played on the Oregon campus and which this year was sched uled to take place Saturday afternoon, will be postponed a week because of the epilemio of sickness which has swept the campus. Several men of the freshman and soph omore classes are on the sick list, which, with the fact that many of the huskies of both classes will take part in the football game Saturday afternoon, makes it look advisable to members of both aggregations to call the meet off until the following Saturday. The mix can then be staged us an individual feature of the day. Both classes are meeting this nfter no>oa to decide upon the matter. Pajama Parade Friday Night To Be One Fine Old Jazz Fest I Plenty of Pep will be Produced if Plans of Managers Mater ialize: So Trot Out Those Old Garments and Don't Forget, Di n is Demanded.

In a few words. A PAJAMA PAPA OK IS TO BE 11KL1) FRIDAY MlUIl. These few words need no explanation to old men at Oregon. To the new men they might be confusing.
