DEAN MORTON URGES ALL
STUDENTS TO BACK TEAM
Oregon’s Tradition to Beat 0,
A. C. Must Be Preserved
T oday.
Ziz-zagging through the streets of Eu
gene in a gigantic serpentine, the T'ni
versit.v last night gave vent to its feel
ings on the eve of the O. A. C. game.
Clad in pee-jams or other ornamental
costumes, over five hundred students
paraded around the campus, past the va
rious sorority houses, and then through
the streets of Eugene, leaving such a
noise in their wake as has probably never
been heard in the town before.
In the business section, and later, on
Kincaid Field, fireworks were set off.
The noise was not cheap; it cost $150—
but there was plenty of it.
The omens have been seen, and the
auspices read, and, if the gods do not lie,
the game should go to Oregon. The crowd
was gathered at Willamette and Eighth
street, when, lo! the “O” burst into a
marvelous light of emerald, foretelling
that the heavens smiled on the Univer
lity.
Serpentine Noisy Affair.
The serpentine careened its dizzy way
down Willamette street, through the the
atres, and around the station, making
such a thundering noise, that dispatches
from Corvallis say that the Aggies trem
bled in fear.
From the center square, the pee-rade
wound its way to Kincaid Field, where
mother big celebration was held.
Despite a mean drizzle, the fireworks
■elebration was marvelous. A gigautic
‘mandarin” composed of ten thousand
fire crackers, was set off in front of
the center of the grandstand. Giant rock
ets. Roman candles, red fire, sparklers,
and every imaginable fireworks, was in
the list.
Dean Walter Morton was the first
speaker ito be introduced by Herald
White, president of the student body,
tit the rally. Dean Morton is backing the
team strongly and urged every man and
woman in the University who could pos
sibly do so. to get behind the team and
jo to Corvallis to help the men bring
rack the scalps and bacon of the Aggies,
who he says, “are no mean foe.”
Student Body Must Help.
“It is an Oregon tradition to defeat
O. A. C.—usually, and if we arc going
over to win tom< rrow it is up to you,
the student body to do your part and
keep up the spirit.” said Dean Morton.
‘Go over and yell—yell with all your
might.”
L. L. Goodrich, Oregon alumnus, of
the First National bank of Eugene, said:
"I saw the first Oregon-O. A. C. game
”0 years ago and we heat them 38-0. I
would like to spe another score like that
one. Rut the team cannot do it all. Tt is
the spokesman for the college. The stu
dents must get behind it and back it nn—
strong.” Mr, Goodrich spoke of the great
part the college men played in winning
the war He said, “It t ikes college men
to lead and without college men, America
and the allies could not have defeated
the Huns.”
Coach Promises Hard Fight.
Coach “Shy” Huntington gave a brief
talk and concluded with the promise that
Oregon would do t v. rything in her
power to win the game by fair means.
Then camp the outburst. Everywhere
n isy. wicked, lively fireworks flashed,
followed by cheers and yells for “Shy”
and the team, led by Nick Carter, yell
leader, and Johnnie Houston, newly ap
pointed assistant.
"Rill” Hayward gave it to the students
strong. "V o h-iN.ii't been supporting

Company A Urged
To Be Respectiul
To Russian Rifles
The troubles of A company have be
gun. Wednesday afternoon, following
drill, the company was issued its supply
of rifles. The Russian rifles used by the
various Officers’ Training Camps, were
those assigned.
Men who have been in the training
e'tn.ps spent last night and this morning
in gleeful recounting to the rookies, of
1 he many burdens of the army rifle. The
sole shoulder, the broken right toe, and
the cracked head, were all dwelt on. The
horrors of cleaning the rifle for inspec
tion. were also retold. Four hours of
i t rd labor, will hardly he sufficient to
spend on the rifles, according to them.
To pass inspection, a rifle must be
absolutely spotless. Every particle of
rust must be removed; the barrel must
lie clean, the stock oiled but not oily;
every nick and corner of the gun free
from «ust; its throat swabbed to prevent
iis catching cold; its joints oiled (Witch
Hazel and Sloan’s Liniment are taboo);
it should be manicured and barbered at
least every other day; and last but not
least, it is an offense punishable by any
thing short of the firing squad, to let a
gun drop to the floor. The gun must al
ways be treated with proper respect, and
swearing at it. is not allowed. No privnt>
is permitted to talk back at bis gun, but
must address it politely and promptly
whenever it makes a request.
Ore.it things are prohpliesied for the
first time that the company drills with
the rifles. It is rumored that exara cots
•are neing rushed to the infirmary, and
that a large supply of head easts have
been ordered, for the first time that
squads right about, or by the right flank,
is attempted by the men.

I)r. It. C. Clark, professor of history,
will have some work in the second edi
tion of a war encyclopedia to he publish
ed by the committee on public informa
tion. This work was done by Professor
Clark while in Washington, D. C., this

conduct, events, and biographical mater
ial of the war.
Track Meet and Cagebail to Be
Other Features: 0. A. C.
Soccer Team Wanted.
Next Saturday will be another big field
day, with even more attractions than the
previous inter-company meets. Oregon
A arsity football team is scheduled to
play the University of California eleven
in San Francisco on .hat day, and the
object of the field day is to have all the
University men together when the re
turns come in from the game. The game
will be reported play by play by quar
ters to the men at the meet. The main
attraction of the day will be the fresh
man-sophomore football game. The class
es are arranging their teams now and will
be out at practice next week. Lieutenant
lladcliff will have charge of the meet;
but if he is not here, Lieutenant It. S.
Zimmerman will have charge of the
events. Saturday there will be a relay
race and a cross country race in which
Companies A, It. and C will have teams.
“Hank” Foster will manage the A track
team, while the It team will be headed
by “Bill” Lyle, and Montgomery will have
charge of the “Gob” team.
Twenty Men in Team.
The cross-country race of three miles
will be for long-distance men. Mach team
will be composed of twenty men. The
relay race teams will be composed of
eight men on a team, who will run a
quarter of a mile each. In the past meets
these relays have proved very interest
ing and the heads of the teams have a
large number of men out. If the weather
is not too bad Saturday there will be a
cageball contest with twenty-five men
on a side. Cngeball is a new game in the
University. The herds of teams have not
yet been appointed. The heads of Varsity
athletics are trying to arrange a soccer
game with O. A. C. for next Saturday.
Tiiley has the Varsity soccer team in
trim and is eager to play a game at that
time.
Basketball Next Week.
The basketball season will open next
week with contest between the platoons
of each company. All Varsity men are
barred from these games. After the pla
toon games have been completed inter
company basketball will start. This will
give “Bill” Hayward a chance to get i
line on any prospective candidates for the
Varsity team. The leaders of the com
pany basketball trains will be Nish Chap
man for Company A; F. Jacobberger,
Company B, and “Jiggs” Leslie, the
Navy. Ned Fowler will have charge of
all the inter-company basketball games.
Other sports will start soon. Swim
ming will probably begin in the course
of the next few weeks. Jeff Harbke will
lead the B team, “Bill” Morrison the A
team, and Si Star will pilot the "Gobs.”
Boxing and wrestling will begin as soon
ns the company fund has been appropri
ated. These sports will probably occupy
most of the attention of the S. A. '1'. ('.
GLEE CLUB TRYOUT NOV. 18
Eleven Vacancies in Girls’ Organization
This Year.
The Girl’s Glee club will have its try
out Monday evening, November IS. at
o’clock in Recital Hall in the Music
Building. A date was previously set
for the tryout, but on account of the in
fluenza epidemic, then prevalent on the
campus, it was indefinitely postponed.
Since only fourteen old members are
back this year, there will be a number
of parts to be filled by new members.
The club membership has usually been
about twenty-five, and the vacancies left,
states Miss Eleanor Lee, director of the
club, are varied, ranging from first so
prano to second alto, therefore giving all
of the students, wishing to try out, a
good chance of making the club.
Miss Lee reports that the material
this year is unusually good, and she is
expecting that the competition for tin.
positions to he filled will he unusually
keen.
FOR WAR DRIVE
i
Only $200 More to Reach Ap
portionment: Schools of
State Pledge $15,000.
The pledge of the University of Oregon
to the United War Work drive laeks but
little of being subscribed, according to
the latest reports from the committee in
charge. The total amount pledged now is
$5250, an increase of $t!,‘!7 over the last
report, and only $200 is needed to com
plete the quota.
This total includes the sum of $358
from the Kugene Bible University, whose
qi c ta was $700 to be included with the'
pluiges of the University of Oregon. But
because of the inroads of influenza at
the Bible school they were not able to
raise the full amount and the? University
is asked by the committee to fill this
quota, also.
Team Ono Ahoad.
Among the teams, team one, under
Captain Adelaide Lake, is ahead with
an increase of $52 since last report. The
total pledges of the women of the Uni
versity now is $1,411.50, and of the
men, $1,11(10, also showing an increase
from last time of $20.
The faculty now has to their credit
$1520 and will probably reach the quota
f.f $1600 assigned them, ns a few more
mend ers a’e yet to be seen. A total num
ber of contributors to the fund from the
University is 008. There are about five
move pledges to come in from the Bible
l niversily and a few more persons, such
as girls living in town and men not in
tin- S A. T. to be solicited and those,
according to the committee, will probably
finish the quota.
Campaign Goes Well.
A letter received on the campus from
. Tiliss Tirza Hinsdale, the V. W. O. A.
secretary who is in Portland in charge
of the student work in the state for this
drive, says: "The campaign goes as well
as could be expected, considering the
epidemic. I have heard fine things of the
work on the campus. Over $15,(MX) has
been pledged thus far from schools of
Oregon.”
Compared with other colleges of the
northwest, the University of Oregon is
near the top. Oregon Agricultural col
lege had at the latest state report a total
of $5,500 with the University a close
second with $5250. Albany college has
pledged $121, and the Oregon State Nor
mal school at .Monmouth lias pledged
$174.
Pullman Raises $3665.
In Washington the state college at
l’ullmnn has raised $3605. The Univer
sity of Washington drive has just begun
because of the length of time they have
been closed. The University of Idaho at
Moscow has raised .,>2.268.
BARNETT GONING IN JAI\PY
Dean Hope to Take Over Courses Dur
ing His Absence.
])i\ James I). Harnett, professor of po
litical science, who has taken a leave of
absence from the University for the
second and third terms in order to fill
the- place left vacant by Dr J. Allen
Smith at the University of Washington,
expects to leave here during the latter
part of January.
Dr. Edward W. Hope, dean of the
school of law will continue the course in
international law now given by Dr. Har
nett during the latter’s absence, and will
also give a course in business law which
Dr. Harnett had arranged to begin next
term, before he decided to take the posi
tion offered him at the University of
Washington.
On account of the prevailing war con
ditions only a few students enrolled in
the law school at the beginning of this
term and consequently most of the law
work was discontinued. It is expected
now, however, that with the war at an
end, students will drift back into law
and political science, although no plans
for tin increased enrollment in that de
; partment have been made as yet
LIGHT VARSITY
TEARS THROUGH
HEAVY AGGIES
Aggies Score Early in First Uuarter and Hold
Lead Until Third, When Varsity Tal
lies Six; Victory Comes
in Final Period
(Special to The Emerald from Corvallis.)
Civo thousand people saw Oregon’s football warriors re
deem themselves for the first defeat; in ten years iu Portland,
last year, when the Lemon-Yellow eleven this afternoon
smashed their way through their heavy 0. A. C. opponents
and won by a score of Id to (i, on the Corvallis gridiron.
The Aggies got the jump early in the game and scored
during the first fpiarter, while Oregon lost its two chances to
score in this period on fumbles.
In the second quarter “Shy’s” warriors started their
march down the Held soon after the whistle blew, following
an exchange ol punts in which Oregon gained five yards. The
Aggies held and secured tin* ball on their own 10-vard line,
however.
No details regarding the play in the third and fourth quar
ters are available up to the time of going to press, but it was
ascertained over long distance telephone that the score stood
(i to 0 at the end of the third period and Oregon’s winning score
came in the last frame.
Between halves the rooters serpentined over the field, the
Oregon aggregation led by the University band.
FIRST QUARTER
Powell kicked off. Oregon lost the ball on the 30-yard line
after several attempts to carry the ball. 0. A. C. advanced the
ball to the 21-yard line, from where Badly went through for
the first touchdown. Badly failed to kick goal. Powell kicked
off and Oregon started to rip through the Aggie line for re
peated gains and carried the ball rapidly down to the 0. A. C.
10-vard line, where the Aggies recovered a fumble. Hadlei
kicked to Jacobberger and Oregon again started its onward
march, but was held for downs on the 0. A. 0. 10-yard line,
where the quarter ended with the ball in the possession of the
Aggies. Score: O. A. C. (>; Oregon 0.
SECOND QUARTER
0. A. C. started carrying the ball from the whistle and
worked their way down to the Oregon 15-vard line, where they
were held for downs. Here an exchange of punts gave Oregon
the ball on their own 20-yard line. Time was taken out here for
F. Jacobberger, but he stayed in the game. The Aggies were
forced to kick having been pushed back to their 10-yard line.
F. Jacobberger returned the kick 10 yards. Badly intercepted
an Oregon pass and gained 20 yards before being downed.
O. A. C. worked the ball to the center of the field before the
half ended.
At the end of the second half the slippery field had been
threshed into a slick mush-like surface. Badly up to this time
was the outstanding star for 0. A. C. Oregon had made yard
age four times and O. A. 0. nine times. Oregon passes up to
this time had not been getting started to any advantage.
