Oregon Emerald VOL. 20. EUGENE, OREGON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOV. 14, 1918. NO. 18. Siili^SiiSSiD iilaliSK H Is gi KS S S S3 Oregon’s Light Team in Fair Shape for Contest i.EM mt* a fi mm to FEE HEM FOE Aqgies Expected to have Big Advantage on Probably Wet Field. The greatest (lay in the I Diversity sport calendar is to be Saturday when the Oregon regimental eleven journeys to Corvallis and clashes with Oregon s )anc|ient foe, the Oregon Agricultural College. Both institutions are await ing the day and the two ••onehes are keeping their men working late into the night. The two yell leaders are plan ning all manner of now stunts and :n both Corvallis and Eugene a big rally will bo hold Friday night to arouse some '“pep” and “jazz” for the contest. Oregon is facing a hard fight, and the men know it. With a wet field iho "Ag gies” have :i decided advantage. Their team is heavier and they are determined to make a great stand. The O. A. C. line is 13 pounds heavier than that of the Oregon line, which is a decided ad vantage. In the baekfield things are more nearly even. O. A. C. has an ad vantage here of six pounds. Taking ihe regular team, and considering them only, the team average of O. A. C. is 1<G pounds, as compared to 104 pounds lor Oregon. Dry Field Wanted Coach Huntington does not seem to ib© worried about the difference In weight if the field is dry. “Shy” con siders Oregon's chances slim enough, and on a wet field it will be curtain. Huntington intends to put his men through a stiff workout tonight and then give them lighter practice tomorrow. rljhe team will leave with the rooters and the band and will have plenty of time to warm up before the game. O. A. C. managed to put one over on Oregon last year in Portland on Thanks giving day, thanks to a wet field. rike members of the Oregon team a.-: well as “Shy” and “Bill” are determined to start the ten years right and to win over the “Aggies.” The Corvallis eleven Is allowed to win every ten years in order to keep up interest, and the Oregon fol lowers do not intend to change this pol icy. The “Aggies” next year to win will be in 1927. The lemon-yellow team is in pretty fair condition. Some of the men are sore and have strained muscles, but such things as these don’t figure in a game with the “Aggies.” Coach Ilargiss has a good team, he admits it himself, and they are not going to hand the game to Oregon. Oregon is out there to fight, and if they win it will be because they outfight the Corvallis team and nothing else. Yell King Wards 1,000 Yell King "Nick” Carter wants 1.000 Oregon students and members of the faculty to board one of the special trains Saturday and to file into the Oregon rooters’ section and give the team all the support that « possible. Carter says that the only way to lick O. A. C. is to yell them to deith. and he is starting to work out this policy. There will probably be a number of old Oregon “grads” back to see the an nual struggle between the two schools, and they can always be counted on to come in anl yell for the Oregon team. The team itself will do its best and it deserves alt the support that Oregon students can give it. Although Coach Huntington has not made public his line-up for Saturday, it would appear that the personnel would be something as follows: Howard, left end; O’Rourke, left tackle; Harding, left ° guard; Callison. center; Mautz. right g’tard; Trowbridge,1 right tackle; Wil son, right end; F. .Tacohberger. quarter; V. Jacobberger, left half: Brandeiiberg, right half: and Biaie. full. Oregon’s Backs Experienced but Lacking in Beef The Oregon backfield will be Oregon's best bet in the game with Corvallis Sat urday in that it will be made up of more experienced players, four of the eight candidates being old hands a’t Oregon. They will, however, be handicapped near ly as bad, as the line when it comes to weight. But headwork and spirit coupled with speed may do a lot for the Lemon Yellow, and it may be a triumph for mind over mntter. Just whom Huntington will start in the “Aggie’’ game is still in doubt as the condition of the field and the weather will more than likely decide the kind of game the backfield will work against O. A. C. and consequently decide the men who are to play it. NISH CHAPMAN, half, is one of the hands aforementioned who played on the “Frosh” team last year. Since getting over the “flu” Nish is only doing 152 pounds, which is rather light for him. This has kept him out a little lately but it is likely he will he in conspicuously against O. A. C. Saturday. FRANCIS JACOBBERGF.U, quarter hack. has been playing about eight dif ferent kinds of football this season but there is only one kind that he will give the Aggie3. Jake is from Portland. lie is 20 years old and weighs 108 poupnds and is credited with being a member of the Freshman baseball, basketball and foot ball teams of last year. “Jake” was Ore gon’s strong man at Camp Lewis. VINCENT JACOBBERGER, left half is a pretty backfield player although this is his first year behind the line. When playing for Columbia University he oc cupied an end berth. He lives in Port land. Vine weighs 162 pounds is 10 years old and is a brother of “Jake.” EVERETT BRANDENBURG, right “Shy” hasn't said that Brandy is going to play right half but we have a luineh that he is. Brandy was one of the Frosh eleven last year. He is 20 years old and weighs 160 pounds. MERAL BLAKE, full back, is ithe king of them all. You can always figure on Blake playing a good game. His game ;s so steady that, he is usually forgotten in the honorable mention. Blake is from lone. He weighs 175 pounds and is an other of the last year’s “Frosh.” JOHN WATSON, half, has been play- I ing right half this season and has been | doing some nice work. He may be ex pected to take this position in ease Brandenburg is not started. He is from Salem, weighs 165 pounds and is 21 years old. JOHN TUERCK, half, is a brother of “Bill” Tuerek, who played for several seasons for Oregon, and is a good foot ball player. A bad shoulder has kept him from showing to best advantage. Tuerek played for two years at the Lincoln high school in Portland. He weighs 158 pounds and is 19 years old. EDWIN DURNO, quarterback, is from Silvtrton. Eddie is the lightest man on the team doing only 134 pounds. He was the star of the Freshman basket ball team last year and is playing good football. He will be held in reserve #or .Tacobberger.

FIGHT RALLY ' WILL BE OLD TIMER A thorough-going revival of the Ore gon Spirit not to what it was last year but to the place it hold several years ago among the old students and an introduc tion and baptism for the frosh, men and women—that only will make Oregon a victor over O. A. 0. this season. It will be the object of an old-time pre-gam« rally to bp held for men and women of the University tomorrow night. "Shy" and 'Bill” tell tts that only the Oregon fight at its best and on the bleachers at Corvallis will save the day for Oregon and give the victory Oregon is entitled to this year—and they ire afraid the students will not come through.” said Nick Carter, yell lender today in discussing the program for Fri day night. "But,” Carter added, "it is up to us to show them they are wrong by producing the fight to back the iteam they have made for Oregon this year. The team has fight, lots of if, but they are going against odds. The Oregon rooters tit Corvallis will face 3600 O. A. C. rooters—we too. will be fighting odds, but numbers don't count against Oregon Spirit. “We’ve got to get that spirit back. Friday night will be our last chance to show it to “Bill" niul “Shy" mul the term so that they will know what <to expect when we get behind them at Corvallis. With tl'.is old fight we will go to Cor vallis 1.000 strong. The pre-game rally, counted on by Coach llnntington and “Bill" Hayward to put the present student body behind the team as the old students used to be, will he a veal old timer itself-—peejann peerade. yells, songs, speeches on Kin caid field and a surprise feature to take the place of the bonfire made impossible by weather conditions and lack of itime. The ball will begin to r.>11 when the en tire man end of the student body assem bles on Kincaid field at 7:.‘U) p. m. for the peejaina peerade. Following this both men and women will gather on Kincaid field for the pre-game demonstration cal culated to put hearts of iron into vhe Oregon warriors resting for the biggest game of the season. Speeches will lie made by Coach “Shy" Huntington, “Bill” Hayward, trainer, Dean 1>. W. Morton, Dean John Strain), and alumni of the University who will he on the campus for the occasion. Yells and songs will be led by “Nick" Carter, yell leader .and Johnnie Houston, newly appointed assistant. SPIRIT POOR; O. A. C. IS PROBABLE VICTOR Coach ‘'Shy” Huntington and “Bill” Hayward, trainer, expressed the positive opinion today that Oregon was beaten in Saturday’s game before they went o-nto the field unless the present spirit of the campus by some hocus pocus can be changed to the old Oregon Spirit which in the past has made Oregon's long line of triumphs possible. They are nifraid the present student body will not produce this spirit. “SHY” HUNTINGTON.—(The Oregon student body has never really backed the Oregon team by any kind of co-operation or enthusiasm for the work they are doing to uphold Oregon’s football rep utation. Now, with the big game of the season upon us, they are cocky to tin point of laziness because of the mis taken idea that Oregon last Saturday 'amp Lewis. In reality they defeated the depot brigade team, and did not play good ball. In the game with O. A. C\ they will ho handicapped, but I know they are fighters. I wish the student foody lind the same spirit— we might have a chance. 011.0 HAYWARD—It has always been true of Oregon that her men al though they have been beaten have never been licked. They won’t be licked Saturday. Whether they will win depends largely on the student. So fur the stu dents this year have been absolutely lack ing in Oregon Spirit and haven't even ordinary “pep,” giving no support what ever to the Oregon men on the field. With Oregon outweighed, playing the big game of the year on the Corvallis grounds and meeting more experienced players, it will be the fright of the stu dents on flit" bleachers that will have to put Oregon over if we do win. As for the team I can say that they deserve to win. They have worked for Oregon under the most difficult situation that has ever faenl an Oregon team in training. All through they have shown that, they were made of the old stuff and they’ll fight like an Oregon team Saturday. LET'S GO 1,000 STRONG SAYS STUDENT HEAD Herald White, president of the Asso ciated Students, today gave the Emerald a statement urging a delegation 1,000 i strong be sent to Corvallis to hack the Oregon team when the Oregon special for Corvallis leaves Eugene shortly after noon, Saturday. Pointing out the fact that dope is against Oregon this season, although the team has made many sacrifices and worked hard. White rsks that the eleven lemon-yellow warriors be backed to the last student when they go against O. A. C. for the biggest game of the ^vear. Ilis statement, making a strong appeal for a survival of the Oregon Spirit, follows: "The eleven men who go on the field at Corvallis next Saturday to face the ‘Aggies’ are your representatives. These eleven men are fighting for Oregon and they deserve your support. The foot ball team is willing to work week in and week out. plough around in a field of , mud, and to give up personal desires for hard practice that they may be able to fight Oregon's battles on the gridiron and keep the lemon-yellow up to the standard of previous years. “The least that we, ns students of Oregon, can do is to give that team nil i the support that we can. The dope is i against us, the ‘Aggies’ are a heavier team, and, besides being on their own field, they are in better condition. Let’s keep up the Oregon Spirit. J-iet’s he there 1 ,000 strong.” MRS.

Aggies Outweigh Oregon’s Linemen; Headwork to Win When the Oregon service eleven goes into action against (). A. C. Saturday, her line will be outweighed ten or pos sibly fifteen pounds to the man by the "Aggie" linemen. The Corvallis men average 185 on the line while Oregous eleven contenders for the six line posi tions average but 170. If the Oregon line holds on defense and opens the Aggies up for it he hack field when Oregon carries the ball it will be because of superior football heads in the Oregon line, well coached, well train ed and backed by the Oregon Spirit at its best. Howard Is New. MARTIN HOWARD, left end. is a new man at varsity football lint has been working hard building on bis two years’ experience gained under Coach Homer Jamieson, former Oregon player, nmv teaching at Jefferson high school n Portland.

Straehnn is from Diifur and will offer 180 pounds of weight hardened as if he had worked in the harvest fields. CARL MAUTZ, right guard, weighs 184 pounds and probably will be Ore gon's heaviest lineman in Saturday's game. Muntz played oil the frosli squad last year and lias been picking up foot ball fast under Huntington this season. When anyone speaks about the aggress ive way he has developed about executing “Shy’s” plays, Carl tells ’em “(!o on, it’s a part of the game.” PRINCE ('ALLISON, center, is light at home here although this is his first year at the University.
