They have the Oregon Spirit evidenced by the sacrifices they have made to aid Ore gon in placing an Oregon football team Into the field this year under the most, nnfavorbblo conditions the University litis sver faced in footbal.l Over-crowded with college work and military drill and classes, they have been tut every night to make au Oregon team. During the last few days, in a final ef fort to get into shape to win for Ore gon over O. A. C., they have been uut on tho field early in the afternoon and ivorn their suits during mijitury drill. After drill they are out on the field uu ler Huntington again working kurd. Atut there is a difference in this part sf (he student body mud the others, wo aien and boys not out for football. Otherwise Oregon would be in a place lo predict u victory over (). A. where last year they were defeated for the ‘list time in ten years. The Oregon Spirit is absolutely lack ing. And only the old Oregon Spirit, tvhlch hacked Oregon in previous years ivhen tlio team was siiuiInil> "out doped,'' will win for Oregon this time. Only the Oregon Splriit will pay the team for the sacrifices they have made and ieep Oregon front suffering, for the first time in its history, a second suc cessive defeat from Corvallis. Only the Oregon Spirit manifested by 1,000 loyal Oregon men and women oil the bleach ers at Corvallis Saturday will keep Ore gon's football reputation to the point it had reached when the men who will return next fall left the l uiversity. We owe it to the men who will rep resent Oregon. We owe it to the men who have in the past made Oregon's football reputation. We owe it to the 1'uiversity. l.’uder such a call the Ore gon Spirit, and the old fight we must have, should come >0,1 »f indeed it is here at mil. The time is short for Oregon to show of what spirit it is really made. The first opportunity will come with the pre game rally Friday night on Kincaid. The se.‘oud step must la* the support of the Oregon Spirit ui the game iu Cor vallis. Saturday afternoon. Cp to this time Oregon has never lost without tt fight. light now the chances look bad in regard to Satur day's game. Hut Oregon d. serves to xwn as f r as the t* im t-- concerned. What will be tile revolt V ° s Plenty of Men Signed Up for Practice But Few Turn Out for Actual Work. Thoroughly dissatisfied with the man ner iii whien Oregon students are turn ing out for trai k practice, Coach ‘Bill” Hayward cons'oVrs Oregon's prospects for the spring in ets to 1 c anything but good unless mere is \ change of Bjiiri; during the n *xt few days. Only a handful of men are now appear ing on the trn' 1; to prepare themselves for tlie more rugged spring work and this, Hayward pouts out, u the face of the fact that there ire ;t (nr greater number of men signed up for the work than for several years “The men ire largely green and for the most part lad only high school cj - perienee and must, get out now for the fall work if they expert to make n good showing for the University team next spring,” Hayward said yesterday. “With all the men out win have signed up, our chances ought to he good but if they don’t come out for the fall work they cannot lie worked into truck material for this year; thut’s all.” Previous to the signing of th ■ armis tice Oregon’s hopes for a track team for 1910 were based to a great extent on the eighteen-year-old men. Now that it is probable the oldc. men may remain on the campus during the spring months, more effort will he made ro bring them into shape for inter-colkgiat ■ meets in stead of cxerWse and preliminary work. Heads Appointed for Work in Water Sport; Beginners *•> Be Coached. Swimming instruction for beginners in the large classes signed up from the S. A. T. C. this fall and preparations for n series of inler-conipany swimming meets will begin next week. This is the announcement made yesterday by Conch Kill liny ward. To take charge of the inter-company swimming affairs c inpnny heads were appointed Monday night by Lieut en.mt Kdwitrd ltndeliffc, athletic director for the S. A. T. <“Hilly" Morrison will have charge of Company A, Jeff llarhUe for Company H and Si Starr for Com pany C, which is composed of the Uni versity naval unit. The early work will lie devoted exclu sively to beginners so that their progress may be as rapid as possible. Kegular Varsity work will not begin until the va rious outdoor (sports are out of 'the way and the in. n participating in them can come out for swimming practices and try outs. As soon as the outdoor sporting season is closed, swimming will lie made the first of the indoor sports. Instruction will later be given in boxing, wrestling an 1 basketball when the swimming work <s well under way.

The ban on meetings of a!i kinds, e' fecti.'e on the University campus and among studentB and faculty for six weeks, will be removed roraoncw morn ing I y order of the faculty r..n mittee or student health, it was anno inced by Dr. John F. liovard, chairman of the com mittee, 'today. The lifting of the ban, which has in terrupted every Fniversity aetivty ex cept class work and athletics, follows the final stamping out of tip' epidemic in Fniversity circles. Definite action has been waiting for several days on the ac tion of city and county health authori ties. The lifting of the city and county ban announced yesterday to become ef fective Friday removed the last obstacle to the removal of the restrictions in ef fect on the campus. No Cases in Infirmaries. “Health conditions in the University are now good,” said Dr. Bovard this morning. "The influenza epidemic Inis been definitely stamped out. There is not now a single case of the disease in thi’ University infirmaries. One ease -e mains in a downtown hospital, but this is an old case. No new ones have appeal ed in the University community for ap proximately ten days. “The health committee wishes, how ever, to issue a word of caution. Every one is urged to remain away from ad sorts of meetings if suffering from colds or anything of similar nature. It is urg 'd that those coughing or sneezing in public gatherings be asked to absent them selves, in order not to endanger the gen eral health. It must be borne in mind that ■there is danger of a recurrence of the epidemic if reasonable precautions are not taken. “For the next week or ten days the usual daily health reports will be made out as usual. We do this in order to keep a check on the situation and learn of any possible new cases which may appear." Normal Activities Resumed. The removal of the ban means a re sumption of the normal college life which prevailed before the epidemic struck th(> campus. Assemblies, parties, dances, class meetings, everything social, which lias been interrupted, will he re sumed. The high mark of the influenza epi demic was reached four weeks ago, when the number of cases had mounted to as high ns “ IT Since then the decrease lias been steady. The conquering of the disease is attributed by the medical ui thorities to the prompt measure., taken, and the thorough systen- of keeping track of the health of every individual student, faculty member and administra tion employe in the Fniversity commun ity. “GOBS” MAY GET RELEASES Men in the naval units of the Stn dents' Army Training Corps, instead if having the prospect of four years’ ser vice before release, will, a-oordi*.'. to a news dispatch received this morning, he allowed to apply for release to their commanding officers, and it will be the policy of the navy department to grant the requests. With the coming of peace there are 50,000 men in the navy who can he spared and the Secretary of the Navy, Joseph Daniels, is using us one means of releasing the men the students of Iho schools and colleges who belong to navy units in these institutions.
