Shy’s Men to Leave Friday;
Elmer Leader Coaching
Opponents.
PItOSPECTS ARE BRIGHT
FOR CALIFORNIA GAME
.'Contest May Also Be Arranged
^ With Washington in De
cember.
The University service eleven will
journey to Camp Lewis this week-end
.where they will clash with the Depot
Brigade of the division now in training
thore. The Depot Brigade is under the
direction of Elmer Leader, former Uni
versity of Washington tackle, and arc
reputed as being a first class eleven.
The . Oregon squad will leave sometime
tomorrow and will be back on the cam
pus in time for revelle Monday morn
ing. One of the lieutenants of the S. A.
T. C. will probably accompany the men
north. “Shy” has not stated how many 1
of the squad will make the trip but it
is expected that about 15 players, “Bill,”
one lie-;tenant, aud “Shy” will he among
those present Saturday afternoon.
Line Changes Will Be !V1 ad3.
Martin Howard will, in all probability
be given a chance to show at left end in
place of Hauser and “Scotty” Strachnn’s
tackle may be taken by Fat O’Rourke,
If “Scotty” is not able to get into the
scrap by Saturday. Callison will he at
renter with probably Mautz and Hard
ing at the guard positions- Taakle will
tie Trowbridge and either O’Bourke or
Strachau. Ends: Wilson and How
ard.
In the baekfield “Shy” has the two
Jaecobbergers, “eat ’em alive” Blake,
Watson aud Braude.nberg may get hack
In the fun this week-end. “Nish” Chap
man still is a little unsteady on his ped
al extremities and it is doubtful wheth
er or not he can get into the fray. Sev
eral subs will go with the. team, as val
ets if for nothing else. Brock Dresser
and a few of the others are watchfully
waiting the decision of the coach and
have their suit cases all packed.
Team Not In Tm-Top Snipe.
In Saturday’s game Oregon will have
i new end in Howard and he will have
co show some speed if he expects to fill
the number nines that Hauser left va
cant when he entered the artillery
school. O’Bourke needs no introduction
to the Oregon fans for he was seen in I
action in the contest with Foundation !
last Saturday- lie sure can fill a big
hole ou the line and the way lie walked
over the ship builders was one of the
aicest things that happened during the
contest.
The rest of the team are in pretty
good shape but nothing to brag about.
Utile of the fellows who thojgnt that
they were over the "Flu" have found that
they are not as strong as they thought v
they were. The steaks that they get
every night at the training table are
making the fellows look better, even if
they don't feel any better.
So far the game with O. A. C- has not
keen called off for a week from Satur
day and if the health officials don't put
the crimp in it a special train will prob
ably be secured to cart the gang over to
:he scene of action. The baud will be
among those present and is practicing
ev« ry light in their new quarters, Delta
lau Deita house, much to the enjoy
ment of the house ’xt door
I rip South Almost Sure.
The trip south is the big thing at pres
?nt and "Shy almost drops dead every
I me Ue telephone rings fo- fear that it
is a call frem Western Union announcing
that the California game has been called.
"Shy" has a -inch that he will able to
stage this game and he also is thinking
of playing football as long as the team
h: ngs around. The Univer«i.y of Wash
ington has announced that they are
forming a team and will play during
December- “Shy" may get a whack at
this bunch and would just as soon beat

Phi Delta Theta’s
Barracks Inspectors
Move for 6th Time
Today was moving day for Company
B. Beginning at S o’clock in the morn
ing, there was one general upheaval, and
when the clouds of dust finally settled
about o:30, every private, corporal and
sergeant had-a new home.
The burden of the moving fell upon the
old luckless Phi Delta Theta men, now
with some additions, known as the third
platoon. The third platoon moved back
into the Phi Dolt house, leaving only one
squad in Friendly hall to keep up the
old traditions. This makes the sixth mov
ing for the platoon, some of the places
having been visited by them in their
wanderings being the Phi Delt house,
the men's gym. the women's gym, the
Sigma Chi house, and Friendly hall. They
are thinking of taking the title “barracks
inspectors.”
Wooden cots, “double deckers,” and all
cots not regulation were thrown into
the discard yesterday. All non-regulation
mattresses were treated likewise. The
regulation black, iron army cots were
substituted as were the regulation mat
tresses. Throughout the entire day, top
heavy beds careened down the stuirs, or
were lowered out of windows, greatly to
the disgust of all visitors.. **•
On the second and third floors, the
men were re-arranged according to
squads for the 'steenth time. The cause
of most of the moving on these two
floors, was the exodus of the band, and
the departure of the artillery men for
Camp Taylor.
By five-thirty, matters were fairly well
sifted through, and those who had no
place to sleep, had a fair notion of where
they were going anyhow.
WOMEN TO HE
Dear Ehrmann Decities on Va
cation; S. A. T. C. Men to
Have Thursday.
The Friday following Thanksgiving
day will be a holiday for all the women
of the University, according to the de
cision made at the faculty meeting yes
terday afternoon.
The S. A. T. C. men will be required
to report on every day except Thursday
as a matter of military regulation. On
Friday, however, subject to the approv
al of each department, the >S. A. T. C.
students will not be held for their usual
class work, but will only have to report
for military duty.
Another matter of importance decid
ed upon in faculty meeting was that of
making exception to section two of the
absence rules, which state that “any
student not present at at least 80 pet
cent of the recitations in any subject
shall be debarred from examination in
that subject.” Due to the influenza
epidemic so many excusable nbsrnoos
were made that it was thought best to
give the absentees every possibl chance
regardless of previous regulations reduc
ing the absences to a maximum of 20
per cent of the class hours.
rJSGHTLY SONG FESTS HELD
Hendricks Hall Girls Sing Between
Dinner Courses.
At the dinner hour between courses
at Hendricks Hail, a nightly song fest is
held. Such songs as The Long, Long
Trail, Laddie in Khaki, besides all the
Oregon songs, which, the seniors say,
is sad to relate, the freshmen know sur
prisingly little of, are practised.
Leona Mnrsters, a school of music
student, leads in the singing, and has
given the girls printed slips with words
of the songs written out. She says that
with the words in front of them there is
no excuse for any girl not singing.
I'p to the present time the singing at
table has been very disorganized, and
with so many new girls in the house only
a few have participated. With l&5t
girls to work with there are possibilities
of some very good song feats, according
to Mi»s Marsters.
SONG BOOK FOR EVERY MAN
Every man in the University soon will
be presented with a small pocket-sizel
song book containing all the standard
hymns arranged for men’s voices only,
Dr. John Landsbury said today. This
book is the only one of its kind ever
published as always before the hymns
were for mixed voices.

Civilian Suit; Odor
of Noth Balls in Wake
A most debonair English gentleman
with perfume tinging on the odor of
moth balls appeared on tno campus yes
terday morning. Although he tried to
hobnob with seme of the more sedate and
dignified faculty members, he was ig
nored, and it was not till ho laughed that
his old friends recognized in the fasci
natingly dressed person, their old time
frieud. Colonel John Leader.
It is the first time in four years that
Colonel Leader has appeared in civilian
clothes and he created quite a sensation
around the campus yesterday morning.
From head to toe, his outfit was
unique, (hi one side of his head a green
hat perched coekily. One side of it went
up in a freakish angle and the other,
down in a droopy line. In a bright blue
suit of the eighties, a white woolen
vestee with white pearl buttons, a white
stiff collar (we really cunnot remember
his tie), and brown army shoes to finish
the costume, Colonel Leader was com
plete for his trip to Portland. His hat
had done service for the moths and was
well eaten full of holes. Just what the
suit and vestee hud done service for we
do not know.
Swinging the cane, the gift of Com
pany K of the last O. T. C. encampment,
and accompanied by luu dog Hill, the
Colonel left for Portland yesterday noon.
His object in going in civilian clothes
was that lie is always asked so many
questions while traveling and ns Colonel
Leader puts it, “It is sometimes embar
rassing when one forgets just what sort
of a story he has told his questioner.”

of players that can be rounded out Into
a formidable aggregation.
Coach II. L. Kiley and William F.

strongest players this year being the reg

they can do.
