Slim Crandall voiced it as he sprang to the stage in one tremendous hound. Aroused by the immortal OSKEE the first great surge of life and returning spirit burst out in assembly today. One after another Oregon’s prospective yell kings stepped forth and gave their all. With hearse throats and ringing ears the gathering responded. Re serve broke under the stimulus. Even the frosh in the gallery were for gotten till an empty stillness turned Carl Knudson to them as leader. Then above hoarse shouts of “mill race,” they, swept away both noise and opposition with Oskee and Ore gon. k With the last echo dying in the distance Johnny Houston landed up side down upon the platform. Oskee in a whisper, Oskee quivering the very building followed while the midget pep machine gyrated from floor to ceiling and from one side of the platform to the other, disappear ing suddenly as abuptly as he came. Claire Keeney followed with action that kept a flying tangle of long legs ' and arms before one’s eyes, and -brought forth a mighty volume of sound from the crowd. Fmsto Arouses 'Ern. \ The fast cooling lunches were again forgotten as George Pasto slid home beneath the piano and arose from his back halfway down the page with his oration. Laughter where tears were expected, merriment that drowned his words and flattened his excuses met him at every turn. “Oregonensis” hardly brought forth the same re sults as the more familiar yells, but Pasto was behind it. The thrilling strains of Mighty Oregon ended as the last man filed out of Villard hall. General business covered the great er part of the first student body as sembly of the year. “We want sen iors” rose in chorus from the som hreroed gang occupying the front benches in the lower middle section of Villard. Dean Straub announced an important freshman meeting in Villard hall at 7:45 tonight.

The Sigma Nus awoke yesterday morning to find that Flint Johns had suddenly packed his bag and departed in a most mysterious manner. And the brothers were worried, until a call came from the Delta Gamma house announcing the disappearance of Eleanor Chapman, and the Sigma Nus' were asked to throw light on the subject. To make a long story short, a few well directed inquiries on the part of friends of the couple disclosed the fact that they left their college haunts with the in tention of being married within the next two or three days. The Johns-Chapman romance is one of long standing, having begun in their home town, Vancouver, Wash ington, before the close of their high school days. Johns was a member of the senior class, having returned to college after serving in the navy last year.

PLAN FOR BOATHOUSE OFFERED UNIVERSITY BY F. L. CHAMBERS Mill Race Headquarters Under Student Management Discussed The proposition of having a boat house as canoeing headquarters on the millrace and under the manage ment of the associated students of the University is being discussed to some extent at present by the stu dent council, the executive council and students generally about the campus. Talk of the plan began when F. 1,. Chambers, of Eugene, purchas ed the boathouse property last sum mer from Mrs. Kountz, tne former owner. Canoeing has become almost a sport of the past during the last two years because of no place to keep canoes and of no way of supervising the privilege of canoeing. The plan under discussion, it is said, would provide a place for storing canoes and also authority for enforcing stu dent body regulations in regard to the sport. tsoatnouse iveeas i-tepair. The only proposition so far pres ented to the University is a rental of the property at $G0 a month. This would, in fact, amount to a charge of $120 per month, because there are hut nine months of school and at least four of these months are unfit for canoeing. The building at present is in a bad state of repair, and the platforming is in bad condition, say those who have looked at tlio prop erty this year. Other difficulties encountered in talking over the plan are the cost of equiping the proposed boathouse with sufficient canoes and with blan kets and pillows and a proper mau agenwmi. Canoes and blankets, it is said, would amount to $2000 in ex pense beside the rental of the prop erty. The University is at present facing the matter of a debt on the new athletic field. McClain Favors Proposition. “The University needs a boathouse under student management,” said Marion McClain, graduate manager of the associated students, today. The plan has been worked with suc cess at other universities and col leges, and canoeing has been a sport enjoyer by a majority of the stu dents in a safe manner and beyond criticism of any sort. The University owns a strip of ground just across the race from the boathouse, and this is accessible by means of the bridge. A tea room and soda fountain in connection with the boathouse have also been discussed and it is thought that by charges for canoes, which would amount to about one dollar for an entire afternoon, and the profit from the tea room the scheme might lie made at least partially self-sup porting. At t ie opening of the present school year "resident Campbell considered the advisabilty of opening a dining room annex for Friendly hall in the large room above the boathouse in order to accommodate the men of • he hall. This plan has been aban doned, however. Mr. McClain is investigating fur ther the possibility of a boathouse for the University and definite announce ment In regard to the matter will probably be made in the near future.

(By Alexander G. Brown) With the Multnomah Amateur Ath letic club football eleven as their op ponents the University of Oregon football team will start the season this Saturday afternoon on old Kin caid field. This game will probably be the last contest staged on this historic old gridiron, upon which for over ten years the lemon-yellow has triumphed over opposition from all points of the Pacific Coast confer ence, To many of the old students, the fact that this game marks the end of Kincaid as a football field is of greater importance than the fact that the game of November 15 marks the opening of the new stadium. The game^Saturday will be a Wat erloo for some of the men turning out for the Varsity night after night. The squad must be cut down so that more individual attention may be paid the players. To say the least, the candidates Saturday will stage one great exhibition, as everyone is determined that lie is not going to bo among those left behind when practice starts next week. As the game is still two days away it Is impossible at this time to say just who will start. One guess is just, about as good as another. From sideline observation it would appear that the game would be started with the following men: Center, “Brick” Leslie, veteran of the team of 1917 and of the freshman squad of 1916; guards, A1 Harding, a member of last season’s team, and Art Berg of the frosh eleven of 1916 and the Varsity of *17. At tackles there are throe from whom it is impossible to pick the two that will start. Baz Williams, who played on the team of 1917, has been out but a week and for this reason may not start. "Spike” Leslie, of the freshman team of ’16, and Ken Bartlett, a returned member of the great Varsity aggregation of (Continued on page 4) ' Senior Cops to Make First Bow J* J* J* u* J* J* „rf jt Jt Sophs and Frosh Rarin ’ to Mix I’asst!
