o Oregon VOL. 20. EUGENE. OREGON, SATURDAY EVENING, NOV. 16, 1918. NO. 19. Noise, Fireworks, Pee-rade, Speeches, Put Pep Into Student Body. 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 'Continued on page two) 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.

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.

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.

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. i {CenC'nuel on page four.)
