*Had Big Load of Bad Eggs
Waiting for us,” Writes
Harold Jenkins.
"Fritz must have been expecting ns,
for lie sure hail the correct location
anil a big load of had egge, writes Har
old Jenkins, a member of the class of
Ifllit in telling of the thrilling experi
ences lie had on his first night at the
front, in a letter to Llnier <J. Hover.
Harold i« in Ihe .101 ambulance corps
and is .1 son of .7. W. Jenkins of Lu
jan e.
“The only close call we had was the
night we reached the front, he said
"Two fellows in the column, hut not in
our company, were hit and slightly in
jured. W' billeted close to a canal that
night and Fritz tried all night to get the
pontoon bridge about a hundred yards
from us. No one was hit, however, and
the bridge was still good the next morn
ing. Listening to Fritzs plane a.nd the
noise of om,r own barrage kept us from
sleeping much that night.
Sees First Shells
“The next morning I got mv first in
kiatiim to shell fire, thereby getting rid
©f the title of 'rookie, which the boys
had tacked on me because they had been
through one show and I hrnlnt. 1 dont
believe I will forget that morning for
various reasons. Of course Fritz was
decorating the landscape with a little
p’,g iron, hut there was a good deal of
satisfaction to know that our hoys were
sending over about five shells to Fritzs
ene.
“I suppose you are rather euri-ntis to
know just how 1 felt I lie first time un
der shell fire. Now I never did have
Mie close calls I hat many of the hoys
had, so in consequence did not get. all
the thrills that a shell can produce. But
let me tell you that every time that one
r-f those rolling kitchens, H I cans, or
whiz -hangs came over I fell a tension
'n every nerve in ni.v body.
Air Raid Is Worst
"The worst feeling of them all is to
go through mi air raid. iTiiere you are
without any protection whatever and
with no means of defense. Of course
nothing hut a d'.reel hit could get you,
hot when you know that death is circling
above rmir head and you are unable to
tee It you bavo a fin-ling that is far
worse than the one experienced when
n shell is coming over. T was in a town
Ane day when n Tiochc came over mid
•prayed fhetown with machine gun fire,
but that wnsnt so had because one ronijd
keen track of h',in and shift positions nr
■ordingh It ' { those night raids that
[ dont like.
Hopes to F?n Fntor
"T often wonder how things are go
ing at school and how many of the old
students are there 1 rather imagine that
by the time we get hack home the per
sonnel of the student hedv will lie very
much changed. I do not expect to he

The official opening of the intor-fra
(ornity basketball series will take place
on next Tuesday afternoon at four o’clock
when Hill Hayward and bis tin whistle
will call the Fijis and Sigma Xus to
gether for the first, struggle of the sea
son. Sin h is the decision id’ the inter
fraternity athletic council and, providing
tin' Sigma Xus and Fijis have coughed up
the said two bones in the rules, the spec
ial rs will see a thriller from start to
finish. Hollowing the Fiji-Sigma Xu game
the ltetas and Kappa Sign will stage the
first bout in the second division.
Practice games have kept the gym
floor busy for the last few days and
judging from the sounds which emanate
from the gym windows, a good part of
the games ore played with the mouth.
I vever, plenty of pep and zeal will
more than make up for the lack in skill.
Stars Oat for Laurels.
As the season comes nearer numerous
stars are developing out of the conglom
erate mob ol would be aspirants for laur
els. “Fat" Mautz is acting as the main
battering ram for the Kappa Sigs while
Mort Brown looks like a sure winner for
the Deltas. Askey, the Hells’ other star
man, hasn’t as yet learned the type id’
struggle, commonly misnamed basketball,
which Kill Hayward referees annually,
but if cleverness can offset roughness
\skey will be there with bells. The Sigma
Xu quintet will be bolstered up consul
erablv by the return of Hilbert and it
looks as though, with the aid of Kill
Hollenbeck and Don Van BosRirk, their
warriors will be among the leaders of the
league. When the I'ijis have Thun, (Tray
and Hitter for their aggregation so it
looks as though the first game will be
a fast one and start the season off with
a rush.
Kappa Sigma will have in Koylen
M int.’ and Still a quintet which will make
it rather hard sledding for the K das.
The ltetas will start the season with a
quintet >f midgets with "Skeeter” Man
erud, Wolcott Huron, (Teo. Hoggs and
Fred T.orenz playing the leading roles.

OREGON Ml FIGHTS
ON FIVEOF FRONTS
Walter Church Writes of His
Travels; “3oche Dirty
and Disheartened/’
Walter Church, son of Mrs. F. L.
Campbell and graduate of the University
in the class of 1916, who is in France
with the 63rd Field Artillery, writes that
he has now been on five fronts and has
been in some of the heaviest fighting of
the last few days before the armistice
was signed. The letters dated October
119 and November 3 follow:
“We are now on our fifth front, hav
ing added two more to our list since I
last wrote. You can imagine how much j
time it takes to tear out big guns like j
ours, dismantle them, lead them up and
travel by our truck trains trying condi
tions very often of heavy mml and heav
ier traffic, to our next stand.
“Then we go through process of “lay
ing” our, surveying, digging, and putting
up the guns again. My work in the Orien
tal detail is usually preliminary to the
actual firing. We go ahead and survey
the ground where the gun pits are to be
dug. We have to locate the positions ac
curately.
Hoped For End of War.
“Things are moving fast these days
and I can scarcely wait for the papers.
We are hoping the end is near, or has
come. But in the meantime you should
have seen what I have seen these last
few days. The endless line night and day,
day and night, of our boys going up to
the big fight, always smiling, always
cheerful, cussing away in the darkness
maybe but still good natured.
“And then wouAded coming back. Nev
er a groan, never a complaint. Lots of
them hobbling along, bandaged and bloody
but still smiling and able to crack a joke
about the whole thing. If you could have
seen that line of our boys going up, and
the long lines of grey-greeh Boche pris
oners coining back, and could have com
pared the two I think thnt you would
have known as wo did thnt such men
could never in this world have conquered
boys like those going up to the fight.
Boche Glad to Bo Taken.
“Of course the boche were played out,
were dirty and disheartened, though some
of them seemed to he happy enough to
bo taken prisoners. On the other hand
our hoys wore fresh and eager to get in
to it. Fvon so there was no comparison.
“Perhnps it would he fairer to take our
hoys coining out. of the fight, wounded
and unkempt, but there was the same
smile of confidence and courage which,
we saw ns they went up. And the boche,
old men and young hoys, straggling along
not caring much for anything seemingly,
a stupid, animal type on the whole except
where one found a haughty Prussian of
ficer.
“We followed very closely behind the
front lines the other day. Such sights and
sounds I cannot describe, but I can never
forget them. There was the continual
barrage shrieking and tearing over our
heads while the long line of troops mov
ed up. The advancing lines rushed a Her
man infested wood whose edge was tinsel
bound apparently, with the sun sparkling;
off of it. But the rnt-tat-tat of the type
writers of death’ told only too plainly j
what our boys were going up against.
Three waves, then some tanks went up.
and there was no more tinsel.
Gorman Shells Burst.
“Then there was the bursting of the j
Herman shells all about us. For several
minutes we would lie flat with the '
shrapnel falling all around us. then run- |
ning a few stops we would drop again, i
and so wo managed to reach an old Her- j
man dugout and later some Herman i
trenches taken only a few hours before
by our men.
“An aeroplane dropped a small bomb
and it exploded just twenty-seven feet i
from us. killing a horse, but not touch- !
ing us. Lots of fun this, if they do not
Come any closer.”

PHY AT GUILD HAIL
French Class of University High
School Students Make
Up Cast.
The one-act fantasy ::The Nation’s
New Year,” written in French verse by
Miss Miriam Page, graduate of last year,
was given to a crowded house at Guild
hall yesterday afternoon at 3 o’clock.
Eighteen students of Miss Page's French
class in the University high school pro
duced the play in costume. In answer to
the wish of the audience the production
was given twice.
The play represents Father Time who
asks his eight daughters, who are the
allied nations, what gift they wish from
the New Year. Each asks for a doll. The
New Yenr enters and bestows these dolls
which represent what each nation has
gained by tlje world war. Germany, who
is present, is silent, weeping. But Amer
ica finally leads her to the New Year
who gives her his greatest gift, “Demo
cracy.”
The two characters, the Dough Boy
and the Gob, who can’t parley vous.
were especially liked.
Miss Tage took honors last year in
both French and Latin. She was a major
in Romance languages.
