Fourteen Players to Get Cali
fornia Trip Must Fight
For Chance.
f&IANY CANDIDATES OUT
FOB LINE POSITIONS
JSecond String Men Show Up
Very Well at Daily
Practice.
With the influenza on the wane and
interest renewed in football since the
JUinouricem*'nt of the California game
things are beginning to move on the
gridiron. There are now about forty or
fifty men out and several others have
raits which will be called iu soon if not
Ssed.
From now on it is fight and fight to
tile finish for from all of the candidates
that are out a team will be picked to
Journey to the southland to meet the
l*alifornia crew. Owing to the war condi
tions it will be impossible to take a flock
q>: players south and so if a candidate
|hs any class at all this is the time for
him to show it. ••Bill” Hayward has said
that probably about 14 men will be all
that will be taken to 8an Francisco
(ad from this it looks as though there
flfould be about two line subs and one
«2tra backfiehl man.
Class Will Tell.
These fourteen players to journey tnto
tthe land of Andy Smith and the Golden
Bear will be the ones who show the
Stost class in the Multnomah game next
Saturday and the two contests with O.
A. C. Several changes will probably be
Biade in the personnel of the first team
Shat played the second string men last
Saturday.
With “Nish” Chapman, Brandenburg,
ftad Blake back in harness to fight it out
Roth the two Jacobbergers. Howard and
IVatson for the four baekfield positions
there should be a great battle on the
held every night. Durno, Tuerek and
Stanerud must also be taken into con
sideration iu the baekfield argument.
“Sheet” showed up well in Saturday’s
fame as did Johnny Tuerek and Eddie
Durno. If some cf the present first team
men go to sleep or forget to get into
the fight one of the last mentioned three
!i liable to swing aboard a south bound
6. P. bound for the sunny south.
Army Out for Line.
On the line there is almost a regiment
t£ candidates. At the end positions Wil
ton and Hauser are proving to be in a
class with the two flank guardians of
the team of 1910. Mitchell and Tegart.
Johnny Brock, who reported again last
night after a week of sickness, Duus
dore. Sntiderleaf and Vi few others must
■else be considered in the game and Wil
ton and Hauser are going to have plenty
of opposition
There are more candidates for guard
positions than there are cooties in a
ilench. Mautz, O’Rourke, McArthur,
Sharp, Dresser, and Gilbert are a few
rho answer “present” every night for
tractive. When this gang get fighting for
Sie two positions there are going to be
tome good prospects for the morticians.

! Can’t Live Happily
Without Emerald,
Says Claire Gazley
If you are reading The Emerald over
someone's shoulder you can be fair in
supporting The Emerald by sending the
paper home or to someone off the cam

junior in the University last year and
prominent in dramatics, -who is now at
tending the U. of C. at Berkeley. After
telling Lyle Bryson, circulation man
ager, that; a check was enclosed, she
says:
“Please forward back numbers for this
term. I simply must have news of the
dear old campus. Although I’m trying
hard to be a loyal Californian and the
University is wonderful, my heart is still
in Oregon.”

LOSS OF EMERALD WOULD BE DISASTER
TO OREGON SPIRIT, SAYS HARRY CRAIN
i1_
ro THE EDITOR:
Loss of the Emerald to the University,
h rough failure of the student body to
ifford it the support necessary for its
»ntinuanee throughout the year, would
<e one of the most disasterous things
rhieh could occur in connection with
be University at this time. With j
ampus life and campus tradition dis
cpted as it is bv the changes incident ‘
lo tht> military work being carried on
this year, there is every reason why
the Emerald should be maintained. It
alone can perpetuate and keep alike the
“Old Spirit of Oregon,'' without which,
when normal conditions return, the Uni
versity cannot hope to sustain the char
acteristics which have made it the “one
school for us ”
HARRY N. CRAIN.
FOLLOWING TRYDUT
Amount of Noise Candidates
Draw from Rooters Will
Decide Victor
Fiunl yell leader tryouts will be held
at University yell practice on Kincaid i
field Wednesday atternoon at 4 o’clock.
“Nick" Carter, Johnnie Gamble, Lyle
McCroskey, R. Waggoner, C. A. Phipps,
“Jig-gs” Leslie and Johnnie Houston, all
of whom were in the tryouts at Satur
day’s game, will compete.
The support of the student body, the
amount of noise the candidates can get
out of the rooters, will determine who
will be this year’s yell king. Following
the tryouts tomorrow Don Orput, for- j
mer yell leader, will make his recom
mendation to the student council accord
ing to the authorization given him at
the last meeting of the council.
Orput Wants Women On Rooters Side.
Orput has asked that more support to
the football men this year be given from
tlie women of the University, and in or
der that they can be directed in sing
ing Oregon songs by the Varsity yell
leaders he has suggested that the wo
men sit on the same side of the field
with the boys hereafter.
‘It is not my idea that, the women
should get too boisterous this year just
because it is up to them to support the
team more than in previous years,” said
Orput, “but they can improve in show
ing in a more demonstrative way the loy
al support they have given lemon-yellow
teams in the past. It is my idea, that
with 'the women assisting side by side
with the men in the Oregon songs and
applause, and with the men going good
behind a good yell leader, the team can
feci the old Oregon fight behind them
this year ns well as any other.”
The showing made at yell practice
Saturday afternoon at the game between
the two Oregon squads was disappoint
ing. Forty six supporters in grand stand
and bleachers was tin showing offered
by tlie 450 women of the University.

Student Council Members All
Working Hard to Save Emerald
Emphasis Placed on Necessity That Every One Support Paper
—Cooperation Conside red Test of Loyalty
to Oregon.
Aroused over the prospect of losing
for Oregon its chief factor in perpetuat
ing the University li-s and Oregon Spirit
through the forced tusnensiou of The
Emerald because of lack of subscrip
tion support, every member of the stu
dent council hits become identified with
the campaign to save The Emerald.
Every member will take an active part
in making known to the now students
that The Emerald is the paper of the As
sociated Students and not run by nor
for any individual or group. Enthusiasm
and loyalty for The Emerald as the big
gest thing in the University life and
faith in the Oregon Spirit to put the
paper on a safe basis wore expressed
in statements issued this morning by
I'aul Spangler, president of the student
body; Elia Dews, vice-president, and
Members of the student counted.
PAUL SPANGLER; -The Oregon
Emerald is ;lie organ of the student body
and as such, it must have the whole
hearted support of the students. It is
the sole means of getting the campus
issues and activities before the students
and no student is an Oregon man or wo
man until he gets behind The Emerald.
The Emerald is always behind the issues
which are best for the University and
unselfishly devotes its columns for a
‘Greater Oregon.’ The Emerald is one of
the chief iustillers of the Oregon Siyirit
the Oregon fight for which we are
known all over the country. I am sure
thaj every person on the campus wants
to he a real Oregon student and share
in the glory of the college. The greatest
step toward this end is to subscribe for
The Emerald. Every Oregon student a
subscriber.”
ELLA DEWS: “Every loyal Oregon
student should subscribe for The Emer
ald and do all they can to support it.
Since it will he the only official publi
cation. it will be the only means by which
we can keep in touch with all the stu
dent activities of the campus and with
the main announcements of the faculty,
which are of vital importance to every
one. Oregon Spirit is embodied in The
Emerald and by reading it all new stu
dents may use this means of backing this
spirit.”
HERALD WHITE: “We are going
to give every Oregon student the oppor
tunity to do his bit in making the big
gest instrument of the Oregon spirit,
Till' Emerald, safe for a year, in order
that it will not be forced to discontinue
publication.”
HAROLD GREY: “In The Emerald
lives the life, the spirit, and the interests
of our school. What could be of more
value to the real (Jregon student?”
ESSIE MAGUIRE: “The Emerald
is the center of campus activities and
the agent through which they are all
carried out. It has always maintained
the Oregon spirit and all that Oregon
holds highest. It is and always has been
under the best of management and af
fords the best channel for Oregon ideals
to reach the new students.”
DOUGLAS MULLARKY: “The cam
pus is in danger of losing The Emerald
before the year is over. Think of what
the Oregon campus would be without a
paper and remember that The Emerald
s self-supporting and must get its sup
port from the students. Then be one
of the 400."
TRACY BYERS: “It would be the
greatest calamity possible not to have
The Emerald. It is an organ that needs
support. This is an important year in
student activities, in fact the crisis, and
without 'Tlie Emerald we cannot get the
old spirit.”
HELEN MCDONALD: “The Emerald
is the one means of keeping in touch
with the college activities, and any stu
dent who wants to get the Oregon spirit
should be a subscriber and a reader.
Phis year of all years, The Emerald
needs your financial support and it is
up to every student to push and send
this campaign ‘over the top.’ ”
LYLE McCROSKEY: “The Associat
'd Students of the University of Ore
gon can only comp out even this year,
through a program of strictest economy.
The Emerald must he self-supporting
uid this means every Oregon student n
subscriber.”
ELMO MADDEN: “The Emerald is
naif the University, without it no one
would know what has happened or what
s going to happen. It is the only sure,
widespread means of advertising any
student activity. It is the one sure
source of Oregon news for the hoys in
service scattered over the world that is
sure and authentic. l!y all means we
should have The Emerald with every
student a subscriber.”
