In pre-bellum dayB it was always the custom of every student in the University to form a parade and march to the train where they staged a rally and saw the team leave. The band was out for this occasion and Oregon spirit was as supreme as it was on the gridiron. The team mem bers left for the scene of contest filled with fight and a desire to bring home victory to the students whom they left cheering on the depot plat form. During the past two years this custom lias been sadly neglected and our athletic teams have left for con quests on alien fields without so much as a single student at the train to let them know that Oregon, the school they were going to light for, was behind them in tlielr efforts. This old custom must be revived, and next Thursday afternoon is the time to do it. Just a suggestion: Put the members of the football team who are leaving in carriages which could easily bo pulled to the depot from the campus by a corps of able bodied freshmen. Put our newly or ganized band at the head of the pro cession and following the carriages should lie a parade made up of every man and woman in the University. Hy doing this we would not only show the team that we want them to win but wo would get a great deal of fun in doing it. WRITE YOUR SLOGAN NOW Write that slogan tonight for Homecoming week-end.

The old "Fight 'em. Oregon,” which proved so cO'ective when Oregon beat C alifornia in 11117 is the type of .logon that is wanted.

Last fall only eight of the men’s houses on the campus were out for debate and only about the same number of wo men’s houses. Definite plans were made at a meeting of the men’s houses held last Friday evening as to a schedule and question for the doughnut series, which will start soon after Thanksgiving recess. The sub ject chosen for debate is: Resolved, that all immigration should be pro hibited for a period of not less than five years. This question is subject to change, however, any time up to November 10. Representatives from the different women's houses on the campus met and discussed plans for the inter sorority series which is yet to be arranged. "Industrial Arbitration” was the subject selected as a pos slble question for the series. Only a very few of the women’s houses have failed to send In the names of their representatives and the selection of their coaches, but those that are out are oxpecting to have representatives at the next meeting. Arrangements Are Announced The women's houses that have so far made complete arrangements are: Alpha Delta, Marie Ridings, house representative; Alpha l’hi, Elizabeth Hadley, house represenative, with Miss Mary Perkins as coach; Delta Gamma, Lois Hull, house representa tive and Victor Morris, coach; Gam ma Phi Rota, Eileen Tomkins, house representative; Pi Beta Pi, Alice Thurston, house representative, with Dr. E.

UNIVERSITrSENDSFilLL QIIOTA TO GLUMi SESSION AT CORVALLIS Oregon Delegates Will Invite Federation to Campus For Next Convention i A full quota of delegates to the convention of the Oregon State Fed eration of Women’s Clubs in Cor vallis is being sent by the University of Oregon. The University’s enroll ment of 707 women allows represen tation of 16 delegates at the con vention, which opened yesterday and will close Thursday. While at the convention Oregon’s delegates will extend an invitation to the federation to convene next year on the Univer sity campus. One of the principal items of business of the convention will be the election of federation officers. Candidates for the presidency are Miss Mattie Beatty of Salem and Mrs Ida Callahan, a member of the faculty of Oregon Agricultural col lege. Louise Davis, president of wo men’s league, said: “The Women’s league does not go on record as taking sides in the matter of favor ing a candidate for the presidency. Each delegate is to vote according to her own conscience.” Dean Elizabeth Fox, Miss Lilian Tingle, Mrs. Prince L. Campbell and Louise Davis left last night for Cor vallis. Miss Fox, Miss Tingle and Mrs. Campbell are not delegates of Women’s league, but are represent ing the University. The other 15 delegates will make the trip to Cor vallis tonight, as excuses from classes will be granted for only two days. While in Corvallis Miss Fox will be the guest of Miss Ava Milam of the home economics department of O. A. C. Representatives of the Women’s league are the following: Louise Davis, Nell Warwick, Eileen Tom kins, Ethel Wakefield, Theodora Stop penbach, Era Godfrey, Mabyl Weller, Alice Hamm, Marjorie Kay, Marjorie Holaday, Alice Thurston, Dorothy Duniway, Jennie Maguire. During both of the men’s and wom en’s meetings the sentiment has been to form a permanent inter-fraternity and inter-sorority forensic council to have charge of intromural debate and it is the plan of Professor R. W. Pres' cott, in charge of all university de baters, to have this done some time during the year. Other questions discussed thorough ly during the meeting last Friday were the railroad problem, education, and the labor question, but immigra tion seemed to be the most to the point and was finally decided upon. Only slight changes have been made in the rules governing dough nut debate. Four men or women will compose the team with ten minute speeches and four four-minute re but alls. Last year’s speeches were cut down to six minutes. No elim inations will be made until the sec ond round is started. ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL FUND To the Hoospvelt Memorial Association, Mrs. W. tV.

C. a SATURDAY’S GAME SHOWS MUCH TO BE DESIRED (Continued from page 1) “Spike” Leslie’s Position Safe “Spike” Leslie handled the position of left tackle in a most creditable manner. “Spike” is another of the oldtimers that can be relied upon and those on the sidelines have nothing to fear as to the aggressiveness of the Varsity with him on the line. In the game Saturday “Spike’s” playing was not spectacular enough to at tract the attention of Walter Camp in his selection of the all-American ele ven, but is looked mighty good from the standpoint of an Oregon sup porter. The one place on the line that looks a trifle weak is left end. Howard was playing against a hard man to handle in Teggert but if he ex pects to keep his place on the Var sity he will have to hold his own with men of similar rank throughout the season. As long as Brandenberg is laid up and Vince Jacobberger is kept in the backfield the Oregon team is going to be handicapped on the end. When “Brandy” is able to get back into the lineup and Vince Jacobberger is shitted to the end the Varsity is going to be Just that much stronger. Oregon was penalized at least 60 yards during the afternoon for off side credited to left end. F. Jacobberger Plays Good Game In the backfleld Francis Jacob berger played the best game Saturday that he has ever shown on the Ore gon campus. His one fault, that cut down his efficiency last season, wa? noticeable again in Saturday’s con test. This is his habit of stopping dead and attempting to dodge a tackle. In one department Francis excelled Saturday and that was his punting. His kicks averaged in the neighborhood of 50 yards and in this respect he outshone the work of Murphy for the clubmen. Murphy, however, did good work when it came to advancing the ball and handling his team. Manerude Shines at Quarter "Skeet” Manerude came through with flying colors in the short time that he served as quarter for the Varsity “Skeet” proved himself in the estimation of some, »to be, next to Steers, the best field general that the Varsity has to offer. Manerude's selection of plays and players to carry out his selections wars very good. “Skee1” put over a nice drop kick in the final period fro n the ”0 yard line for the last counter of the Varsity of the afternoon. Two Halves Look Good The star of the contest was unques tionably Ed Strowbridge. He made some of the nicest gains through the hue that have been seen for. several seasons on- the local gridiron Tli!s is one player that is going to cause no end of trouble to the opposing linemen before the end of the season. When it came to off tackle plays i nee Jacobberger made a name for n n.self. These two halves, 8 trow bridge and Jacobberger, left very little to be desired and this depart ment looks safe for the present. llollis Huntington at his post at fullback did not show up with any great amount of brilliancy, but his work was steady and he will probably be better as the season advances. He made some nice gains during the afternoon and as soon as he gets going with Bill Steers a quarter these two should show’ some of the conference lines a few new offerings along the lines of steam rollers. Team Work Not Finished The work of the entire team did not have the finished appearance that is desired before they clash with either O. A. C. or Washington State college. Oregon has no more than an even break to win the honors of the northwest and a few more in juries. like that of Brandenburg and Blake, or a few more of the men being forced to give up the game, as was Joe Trowbrodge, and Oregon will have a slim chance for the title. The Varsity needs more support from the student body and when they leave for Idaho this week-end for the first of the conference struggles every student should be at the train to give them a sendoff like that which was given to the team of 1916. The present team deserves the undivided support of the student body and as few can make the trip to the site of the Idaho university to see the game the best that can be done is to get' out for the sendoff.

W. lan guage, they are “going to shake a lively hoof” Friday night at the men’s gym, and the whole college is in vited and expected. To use ordinary language, there will be a dance Friday night con ducted by the joint action of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. There will be eats; there will be an entertain ing program, and there will be good I music. | Adah McMurphey vouches as to the good program. She and Arthur Johnson are in charge of the de tails. Lindsay McArthur, widely i known as a truthful man, swears that there will be exceptionally good music. And Elmo Madden, who would swear at anything, has gone on record to say that the whole af fair will be great. There will be no admission charge and you don’t have to bring girls. It is expected that with these two great concessions, even Carl Mautz and Scotty Strachan may be lured to the place. Carl has acknowledged to reading up on houses lately.
