Sleepy Men Called
Hour Too Early Take
Revenge on Bugler
O. T. C. men turned out for drill at
5:15 Monday morning. They discovered
the mistake,' however, in time to revenge
themselves on Bugler Rollin M atson.
Obediently, trustfully, yawning and
sleepy-eyed, the men had turned out at
the first tuneful notes of reveille. The
hands of Matson’s tin watch had stuck
and misled him.
It was not until all were up and
awake that they realized the mistake of
their chief bugler. Then they were more
than righteously indignant. They wore
thoroughly upset.
Some spent the hour's vacation read
ing and writing letters. One man said
it was the first opportunity he had had
for two weeks to write to his wife.
M'hen time came for assembly, Mat
son's bugle had vanished. Finally, after
a frantic search it was found—smashed!
The bugle he had carried through the
Spanish-America.m war.
Nobody enlightened him. However,
later in the day he was presented with
a shining new one by the conscience
stricken men. But Watson’s heart
yearned for his veteran friend. Somehow
he managed to patch it up i ntime for
tattoo and taps on Tueseday. But alas!
the faithful instrument was somewhat
the worse for wear, and people in the
vicinity of the O. T. C. down town quar
ters, who were used to beautiful, high
and clear, gradually softening and dying
away notes of taps, heard false notes—
high pitched and falling- flat.
Among themselves they said, “The
.regular O. T. C. bugler must he down
with the flu, poor fellow, an.l they have
a new man.’’

Companys A and B
At Outs; Open War
Of Words Declared
Extra! Extra; Diplomatic relations
have been severed. The air is full of wild
rumors, (.’onditions arc precarious. War
is likely to be declared at any moment.
Company A and Company 11 of the S.
A. T. C. are at outs. Company A, com
posed of the men stationed in the men’s
and women’s gymnasiums, the Kappa
Sigma house and the Delta Tau house,
points derisively at the company 1> yiei;
as a set of “rooks.” “Kook at theii
ears, asses for fair,” is the retaliatoi-'
call of the company H men, stationed ii
Friendly llall, the Sigma Chi bouse am
the Thi Delta Theta house.
So far the hostilities have been eon
fined mostly to songs and bootings
"Awkward Archies,” "Would-be super
men," and *' 1 .aily a-tha-letes," are a few
of the epithets hurled at the “A” men
b,v company 11. while company A returns
with such common-place ones at "Hook
ies" and "llean Chausseurs."
11 company led the way in singing up
to today. To the tune of “Li'l Liza Jane"
they had set certain words, expressing
their utmost contempt for company A,
and condemning them to the place of
supreme heat. Today company A came
hack with a song composed by the self
styled "Ladies from llell” living in the
women's gymnasium. According to it,
tin- worms in tin- ground are higher and
more w> rthy of commissions than the
members of 1! company.
Itoth companies though arc united in
one tiling, their mutual contempt for
the Hobs. “Daniels’ Darlings.” The
phrase "Spruce Divisioners" expresses
the sailors’ opinion of the army. The
language used by the army when dis
cussing the navy, will not he cited here.
S. A. T. C. BARRACKS
New Quarters For 200 Men To
Be Finished In Week;
Work Rushed.
The new S. A. T. (barracks <>n Uni

for occupancy in a little over a week.
The work has been delayed to some ex
tent by the illness of some of the work
men with influenza, and the inability to
replace them with other men. The con
tract is now being rushed, and the fin
ishing work is in progress.
The barracks is two stories in height
anti will accommodate about two hun
dred men. The ground floor is divided
into two large rooms. In the rear of the
barracks, a. separate building is being
erected containing shower baths.
It has not yet been announced who
will be quartered in the barracks, but it
is likely that those platoons now stn
tionea in the men’s and women’s gym
nasiums will be ordered there, lu ease
the I’hi Delta Theta house is still need
ed for cn infirmary, the platoon for
merl.\ stationed there may also be sent
to the new barracks.

key's aggregation.
Brown will plav left guard, according
to Cion eh Huntington’s present plans,
taking the plac • of ‘‘Suiffii ” Dresser,
who is just gettie ; over the “fi.i ’ and
will not try t.> play Saturday unless he
is hadly needed. Watson, who is new to
Oregon football fans, will handle the
right half position taking I’lummer’s
place on that side of the hack field.
New Mon in Backfleit'.
Martin Howard will be seen in the
haekfield along with both of the Jaeob
berger’s. Francis and Vincent, and Wat
son. lie will play fullback and from
practice lie should make good at that
position. The backfield will be in good
condition for the Saturday contest, al
though the services of Blake and Chap

On the line Cnllison will take the
place of Layton at center nnd Manta
will he Brown’s partner at the guard
position.
Joe Trowbridge and “Scotty” Stra
chan will take care of the tackle posi
tions, while tin' end places will be hand
led by Wilson and Hauser.
Lineup May Bo Changed.
This lineup, according to Coach Hunt
ington, is subject to change without no
tice and, as he has Hilbert, Sharp nnd
Dresser on the line reserve list and
Durno and Tuerek ready ‘to go into the
backfield, some changes may be made,
“SkeeC Manorial is still a little too weak
to try to play and so, in nil probability
will not be seen in action in this game,
.1. L. O’Rourke, who is stationed here
connected with the S. A. T. C. for pre
medic work, was out last night nnd
showed up well in practice. O’Rourke,
who is a naval man, is a former tnekle
for Montana. He is built somewhat like
"Bill" Snyder, of the Oregon team of
1010, except that he is closer to the
ground. On his first night out he look
ed like a million and will make some one
travel to keep him from grabbing a line
job by the time the O. A. C. contests roll
around.
How Lineup Looks Now.
The tentative lineup as given out is
as follows:
Wilson, R. E.; Trowbridge, R. T.;
Muntz, R. <J.; Cnllison, C.; Brown, L.
