“SHY” WILL GET IT.
Coach Huntington stepped out from
his work on Kincaid field yesterday and
deflated “Oregon Spirit" and the old
Oregon fight to come through (lie or
ganization of Oregon rooters at. yell
practice at 4 o’clock tomorrow afternoon
would help to win Oregon’s first game
Saturday ns niueli as the effort of the
men able to get into the scrimmage
“Shy” is the Oregon coach, and “Shy”
wants to win the game, but: he is the
old Oregon student, (lie typical type,
speaking. He used to piny on the grid
iron for Oregon and knows what the
solid support of Oregon’s fight which
never dies means to the Oregon men on
the field.
Oregon has a spirit that, is too good
and too strong to die. Hez.dok, who wns
not an Oregon man as Huntington is,
catne to know the Oregon Spirit for
what it was. lie always insisted on
yell prnetiro as well as practice for I lie
men actually to do the fighting. This
Spirit will do much for Oregou this
year and the new men who have never
appeared for Oregon before must know
what is behind Oregon teams when they
go onto the field. The men on the ,
bleachers must la' there with the same
fight as in past when Oregon's reputa
tion for a never-die fight was made
Otherwise the men will do no better for
Oregon than they did for the other Uni
versities or even the- high schools from
which some of them came- And these
men will never have really played for
Oregon with the old Oregon behind
them.
Oregon has been fortunate by high
entrance requirements in securing a
strong freshman class, not as large as
many University entering classes but
an older, better4 trained, and energetic
frosli class. The pep is in these men.
la't them turn out tomorrow for a real
yell practice where pep will be turned
into unified support for Oregon. Ore
gon men will be out strong. For the
new men it will he a big baptism In
Oregon Spirit. Saturday Oregon must
he all Oregou.
women in war work
Although registration figures are still
quite incomplete for the mi tuber ot 1 ni
versity women enrolled in war rouraes.
the very lowest figures .*-• women in
the civil serviei course and eight in the
short nurse's course show that ul
least U.’t.j per cent of the women nt
Oregon are definitely planniug to do
war work as soon as |H»ssihte. I his
lakes no cognizance of the possible
number enrolled in the years course in
nursing, the registration statistics of
th.se being still incomplete, nor of the
University women doing special labor
atory work tilting them for laboratory
assistants in army camp hospitals.
It would seem not at all improbable
to estimate the number of women who
are taking wnc course* at 20 per cent
of the pat women enrolled And almost
every University woman who Is not en
rolled in one of these definite war
courses Is shifting her college schedule j
so that she tnny get more of the prac
tical courses which will help her to
take tho place of a man in the world
of business and industry, E. A.
With the Germans retreating, liny
ward should come into his own- No
doubt a lot of his Oregon trained track
men are already making athletics
“practical”.
I’robably It was summer army camps,
but Oregon men will not like to see the
Oregon seal in front of Villnrd scuffed
up when they come back tu "feel” Ore
gon again.
Something must he done to put Hunt
ington into “On Oregon” before Satur
day afternoon
WALTER WTCLURE
III BIG METZ PUSH
Famous Oregon Track Man
May Return to U. S.
as Instructor.
Captain Walter McClure, a University
graduate of 101.‘I, whose home is one
mile north of Eugene on tin river road
and who him seen service in France with
Pershing’s troops since a year ago last
July, in a letter to his mother, Mrs. Mar
tha Hennett, tells of some of his experi
ences at the front. Unptuin McClure w> s
wounded in the left hand during the drive
oil Soissons. Extracts from his letters
dated August 25 say:
"We have just come* out of the line
and are building up for another lug light.
I have my old company back. You see I
kept the battalion’s till I took sick, had
a fever of 10,‘S and pulse of 10<l hut
wouldn’t let anyone evacuate me as we
were in the front line and no one else
could run the battalion. Then after we
got moved out our old major eamc hack
ami 1 was evacuated yesterday. They
told me to get a good rest so I’m going
as far back as I can, rest and visit till
I’m needed. I’m all right now excepting
that 1 am weak. You see my work was
hard for a well man. Now 1 think I’ll he
aide to loaf for three weeks but may not.
Back from Hospital.
“Yesterday 1 came hack from the hos
pital feeling fine," he says in the letter
written September 1, "but doubt if 1 have
iuy full strength buck. I understand that
we are to go into action again viry
shortly. This time 1 uni sure that we
will get into Germany itself. The ground
is difficult to attack over but all wnl be
made as easy as possible for the infantry.
‘ Am enclosing a few items for my
memory book. Gen. Pershing is shown
talking to a few of the officials of this
division before we went up to Amiens
front. I do not show very clear, but eau
recognize myself.
"1 still have hopes of getting home
by Christmas or soon after, but these
hopes get weaker each day. Am sure
tin war will be over in another year,"
Ou tieptyniber t> lie writes:
Moving for Attack.
"\Ve have been moving up to attack.
1 don’t kuow whether we go pver" in the
morning or not. We are now stationed
in a big wood about five miles behind the i
lines. My company will he in the front ,
lines but 1 would rather be there than ,
anywhere, as 1 am sure 1 have the best
company (others must think so too) i
After we have gone three or four miles i
we will then lie passed by other eoiupan- ;
ies and then we will he m reserve for ,
a while and perhaps for good, ,
■ We will not he in the attack as long
this tune as before, as then are lots of i
oilier soldiers here. We are near "Seieli
piey" and will attaek in the direction of
Metz. 1 don’t know how far we go bet '
doubt if we try and taki Metz this win- i
ter. We are not expeeling very heavy
lighting the first day. The wire will be
our main trouble.

FAR ■ GAMES
CUT OFF MILE
Government Time Limit On
Absences Affects Foot
ball Program
The general policy of sports for the >S.
A. T. C. outlined by the war department
committee on education and special train
ing, was received yesterday morning at
the University. The limits put on the
time of absence of the men from college
will mean that the game scheduled for a
week from Saturday with Idaho cannot
he played, since the trip would take sev
eral days. It means also that the game
planned to tuke place Thanksgiving day
between the University of Oregon and
the University of Southern California at
Los Angele% cannot take place and nei
ther can the team make the trip to Ber
keley on November 2 where they were
to contest with the University of Cali
fornia.
Other games to take the places 'of
these will be scheduled, said Graduate
Manager Dean Walker yesterday and in
place of the Idaho game it is probable
that the University will play Leo
(“Tick”) Malarky’s Vancouver Barracks
team on that date. Other games will
probably be scheduled with the Multno
mah team, some of the shipyards teams,
O. A. C- and the Marines.
Ruling Applies Only to S. A. T. C.
“This new ruling will mean that since
it applies only to the S. A. T. ('. and
not to the service teams most of the
games will be played in Eugene and Port
land,” Mr. Walker explained.
The ruling states that athletic sports
as formerly pursued involving extended
trips and specialized training are incon
sistent with the soldiers' program of
drill and study. Athletic directors and
professors of physical education can he
iet'ii iri connection with intramural sports
and for the assistance of the officers in
charge of military training.
‘‘This precludes for the S. A. T. C.
members.” orders go on to say, “such
football or other schedules ns is custo
mary among colleges. All practice for
football and other sports must he in rec
reation periods and not decrease the time
allowed for drill and study.
“It is desired no games involving ab
sence for a night be placed before No
vember 1, and that during this period the
{.imes lie confined to intramural except
for local Saturday afternoon games. Af
,er November 1. not more than two over
sight games may he permitted and fur
ougliN for the purpose may lie granted
for members of teams, providing that no
furlough shall he granted to soldiers not
maintaining satisfactory standards of
nilitary and academic work. No trips
nvolving an absence longer than from
["riilay night to Sunday night will be ap
iroved.”
This ruling was made to assure no in
erruption in the academic work of the
student soldiers, for their courses are
llready crowded to the limit and an ab
icnee of a few days would cause too
nueh of a break into their work.
