Colonel W. H. C. Bowen, commanding
officer, end President P. L. Campbell,
reviewed the S. A. T. C. and naval units
this morning at ten o’clock on the parade
grounds in the first formal review since
the organization of the S. A. T. C. here.
The corps then marched down town to
the Southern Pacific station and back,
with the band leading the parade.
The review was also in^h^ nature of
an inspection. The men were completely
equipped, even to gloves, and the im
maculate blue and khaki uniforms made
splendid contrast. Colonel Bowen passed
up and down the lines inspecting each
man’s equipment. lie was very much
pleased with the showing of the men, lie
laid.
Another review is planned for next
Saturday morning, said the colonel today.
The University hopes at that time to
have several guests of honor, Governor
Withycombe will be asked to be present.
Demobilization is Begun.
Demobilization of tne men of the S.
A. T. C. ’'cgan today with the making
out of tl." pre-discharge papers. Lieu

sonnel officer, who returned yesterday
from Helena, Montana, where he has
been attending the school for discharge
paper work, is in charge.
About thirty men who have applied for
Immediate discharge in order to be able
to return to business life, will be dis
charged at once, probably Monday, if
their papers are completed by that time.
The army surgeon, who was to have
reported here December 2. to have
charge of the physical examinations for
the men, has not arrived. Colonel Bowen
received word from the war department
this morning that the regular army con
tract surgeons of the S. A. T. C. here
could proceed with the examinations until
the army surgeon came. The telegram
did not state when the colonel could ex
pect him.
Physical Examinations On.
Dr. W. B. Neal and Dr. S. M. Kerron,
the contract surgeons, started the exam
inations of some of the men this morn
ing. All physical examinations will prob
ably be completed by the end of next
week.
The majority of the men will not be
discharged until December 21, so that a
small number will not he leaving daily,
but the corps will he kept praetically in
tact until final demobilization is in effect.
All the forms for the making out of
the discharge papers have not arrived
ns yet. but Colonel Bowen expects them
by Monday, so that a few of the men.
who must return to their hotrms at once,
may do so. These are chiefly married
men, who entered the S. A. T. C. for the
military training alone. They do not in
tend to return to college next term.

S. A. T. C. Men Retire
Civilian Garb on Eve
of Demobilization
Did you notice thnt continuous flock
of uniformed men hitting it up across
the campus yesterday morning—nnd did
you notice the bundle under their arm
and the not infrequent suitcase in the
hand of many of them? Did you wonder
if Christmas vacation had already ar
rived and think that you had been play
ing a little Itip Van Winkle stunt dur
ing the past two weeks? Or, did you ■
think the fellows had packed up their |
S. A. T. C. troubles in. their old kit
bags, and were carrying said miseries
over to the Willamette river to be dashed
int*> thnt whirling pool, never to rea^>
pour again?
If you hnd a glimmering of any one
of these ideas you were suffering tinder
a sad hallucination, for the men were
in reality only obeying the recent mili
tary order to do away with all civilian
clothing in their bnrrncks on or before
Saturday morning
For some, the leave taking was sor
rowful, for others, glorious. The fel
low with the large wardrobe, consisting
of: two suits of good edothes and a con
scientious conscience, had a hard time
sellatg his wordly embellishments of a
pnst age to the second hand dealer,
whose shop was already over-stocked
with suits, sized from 18 to -1JV On the
other hand the fellow who obeyed the
order with a happy heart was he who
had ruined his only good stilt of wear
ing apparel while drilling In the rain;
and who. itt eonseqquenee, had been re
duced to a single pair of trousers and n
dingy looking sweater that he had won
in the good old days a! the prep school,
•before he had learned tlmt he didn’t
know enough about football to trawl
with the scrub team at the University.
After all, the wearing of the uniform
parts every man on an equal with the
! next. So, here’s hats off to equality and
the military order.

FIVE OREGON MEN
ON HUNTINGTON'S
ILL-CUT TERM
Trowbridge, Mantz, Harding.
Wilson, Brandenberg on
Star Eleven.
FOUR CALIFORNIANS
IN HONORARY LINEUP
Eckmann, of Washington, Best
Quarter; Powell, 0. A. C.,
Leads Fullbacks.
Five Oregon players and four from
California receive positions on the myth
ical all-Pacific Const eleven picked by
Coach “Shy" Huntington of the Univer
sity of Oregon. While the Pacific Coast
Conference is not operating this year
Huntington has innde his selection from
the teams that made up this union.
Huntington has mnde his selection af
ter seeing all of the men in action and
lias picked the ones that he has because
that they are the best, judging from the
method of play that he employs.
O. A. C. and the University of Waste
ington each draw down one berth
At center “Shy” lias placed Barnes,
of California, as he considers him to be
the best bet in this department on the
coast, Barnes has done some fine work
for flie Southern team this Beason nnd
is a foxy player.
Negro Placed at Guard
The guards selected are Manta, nt
Oregon, and Gordon of California. The
ability of Mnntz is well known to all
Oregon followers of the gridiron while
Gordon will be remembered ns the ebony
luted six footer that tried to stop Ore
gon here Inst year. Gordon is the only
negro playiug on the const. This is his
second season on the nll-st.er eleven
Trowbridge, of Oregon, nnd Majors,
of California, are the choice for tackles.
According to the men who went south,
Majors Is a bear of a player and deserv
ed the position. Trowbridge is one of
the shining lights of the Oregon line.
Although he has been outweighed by the
opposition in every game this season he
bus more than held his own.
In the selection of ends Oregon takes
both positions in Howard and Wilson.
Good ends were scarce on the coast this
season, and the Oregon hoys showed up
ns well, if not better, than any of the
others, Huntington believes. They are
especially good in the passing game and
this fact probably put them on the team
that will never be.
Eckmann a Real Star
Eckmann, the clever little qunrter fo>
the University of Washington, receives
the quarterback position according to
Huntington. Eckmaun's work against
Oregon was of the first magnitude.
Sprott, of California and Branden
herg, of Oregon, are without a doubt the
best half backs on the coast. The work
of botli has been little short of sensa
tional, and they are both great line buck-'
era.
I*owell of O. A. C., gets the fullback
position ns ho is oup of the best men In
this department seen in the Northwest
for several moons. He is the only
Aggie given a first-team berth by Hunt
ington.
Other players that deserve honorable
mention are F. Jacobberger, Pat O’
Rourke and Albert IlardlngV of Ore
gon ; Walker of Washington, Barley and
Hodler of O. A. C. and Watson of Cali
fornia.

The men in the naval units are permit
ted, under recent ruling of the S. A. T.
0., to apply for release to be placed on

men had at first intended to do this, all
those here plan now to ask for release.
Ensign Ilopppnhelmer has received no
instructions regarding the disposition to
