ON TO PORTLAND! Oregon WASHINGTON STATE MUST FALL! Emerald vol. 21 EUGENE, OREGON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1919 NO. 14 HELP HOMECOMING PUBLICITY, STUDENT COMMITTEE URGE Three Thousand More Stickers Ready for Distribution to Graduates PLANS ABE TAKING SHAPE Alumni and Former Students to be Tagged—Work on Bonfire Al ready Under Way Stick up for your University. Help it to advertise Homecoming. This is tlie appeal of the committee which Is in charge of the big celebration for November 14 and 15. Three thous and more lemon-yellow stickers, with a message to all Oregon graduates, have been printed and are ready for distribution. Their use on the back of all letters written by University students between now and Home coming time forms a large part of the advertising scheme on which the committee is relying for the suc cess of the occasion. The new stickers may be obtained at the office of Miss Charlie Fenton, alumni secretary, in the Administra tion building. A nominal charge is made to cover the cost of the printing. It is not only the buying of the stickers that is going to help the University, members of the Home coming committee decla.re. Only those that go out through the mails will be doing any good. The stick ers are just a gentle reminder to all former 'Oregon students that their alma mater is calling them to the biggest Homecoming in the history of the University. Plans for the entertainment of Oregon’s visitors during the two days of November 14 and 15 are rapidly materializing. Arrangements have been made for booths at the* railroad stations where all visitors will be asked to register. Alumni and former students will be “tagged” with their names and classes. The tag will admit each to all Homecoming events, including the dinner and dance on Saturday. The booths at the station are under the charge of Elston Ire land. The freshman women will as sist their operation. Work on the big pile for the frosh bonfire on the Friday night before the Oregon-O. A. C. game is under way. Collection crews of freshmen have been employed on the opening j work of its construction. Y. W. WILL HOLD SERVICE National Custom to be Observed at Recognition Meeting Tuesday The Y. W. C.

This service, which is given every year for the purpose of introducing the new girls to what the Y. W. C. A. really means, is a national custom which is given at about the same timfe in all the uni versities and colleges of the country. Jeannette Moss and Mabyl Weller are in charge of the service. They hope that every freshman girl who is a member of the association, as well as the upperclass girls, will be pre sent. “Aussies’ Dislike Kiddish Capers Ninety-seven Australian war vet erans who. registered at the Univer sity of California farm at Davis have refused to participate in athletics and have formed teams among them selves in an endeavor to stamp out the traditional American college “haz ing,” which they claim to be “kid dish.” WASHINGTON SENDS ITS CONGRATULATIONS Telegram Received by Stan Anderson is Display of Good Sportsman ship, Agree Oregonians A new example of college spirit was manifested yesterday upon the re-1 ceipt of a telegram from the Univer sity of Washington complimenting Oregon on their team which played Washington last Saturday. The spir it shown in Washingtdh’s congratu lations opens up an entirely new field of college spirit, one which is to be admired by any rival institution, declared Stan Anderson, president of the student body, in reading the tel egram at the rally dance last night. Anderson said he had never heard of such a fine college spirit as was shown by Washington in sending the message. The text of the telegram follows: "Seattle, Wash., Nov. 2, 1919. “Associated Students, University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon. “University of Washington students congratulate students of the Univer sity of Oregon upon team represent ing them yesterday. Your fellows played a good game and defeated us by better football. University of Washington dislikes to admit defeat. Are looking forward to coming year when we plan to meet Oregon again. Wish you best of luck with Pullman Saturday. “Elon J. Gilbert, president asso ciated students, University of Wash ington.” FACULTY MEN TO TRAIN Younger Members May Compete With Students in Doughnut Basketball.

Campbell, chairman of the Roosevelt memorial committee on the campus, announces that about $140 has been turned in so far for the Roosevelt Memorial fund. Several of the houses on the cam pus have turned in sums of money and those that haven’t will do so soon, according to Mrs. Campbell. The contributions are still coming in and it is expected that the total sum will be considerably more than than now on hand. U. GRADUATE IN WAR WORK Ruth Duniway Helps Keep Returned Doughboys From Homesickness An original contribution to the home service war work in New York city was made by Miss Ruth Duni way, of Portland, who graduated from the University of Oregon in 1910. She conceived the plan of bringing a bit of home to the soldiers and sailors in a strange land. It was last February when the value of her ear nest work was realized and the Hail of States, formerly the old Trinity parish home, was turned over to the project. The Hall of States not only main tains a canteen from 11 a. m. until 11 p. m., but it furnishes free bus rides, theatre tickets and many kinds of entertainment and information to all men in the service. There the lonely doughboy is able to get Ills home papers and to converse with people from his locality. Hospitality is the keynote of the organization founded along the lines of the work started by Miss Duniway. Miss Duniway is now working in New York with Miss Ruth Guppy, former dean of women at the Uni versity. She was a major in Eng lish literature while here and a mem ber of Gamma Phi Beta sorority. EIGHTEEN DELEGATES MAY REPRESENT U.OFO. AT IOWA CONVENTION Quadrennial Students Volunte er Meeting to Convene at Des Moines, Dec. 31 The first Student Volunteer con vention to be held for four years is to take place at Des Moines, Iowa, beginning December 31 and ending January 4. The Student Volunteer convention is not a new idea. It is held every four years. Eight thousand delegates are to attend this year’s convention in Des Moines. Every university and college in the United States and Can ada will be allowed to send one rep resentative for every 100 students enrolled. No less than 500 foreign students are expected at the Iowa city and they will bring with them a great fund of up-to-date information which will pertain not only to stu dent life but to political, industrial and social movements of significance. The University of Oregon’s quota of delegates to this important gather ing is 18. Ninety-seven students are to be sent by the University of Cali fornia, 43 from the University of Washington, and 33 from O. A. C. The student body will be called upon to raise a sum of $1,000 so as to enable those chosen by the students to have the lemon-yellow colors wav ing at this great assemblage of col lege men and women. The churches of Portland and Eugene have extend ed financial aid to the institutions of the state, thus making the burden lighter. The leaders, both men and women, of the University are to be there. This University undertaking is in charge of an executive committee composed of Dean Elizabeth Pox, Stan Anderson, Eva Hanson, Era Godfrey, Roy Veatch and John Hous ton. The nominating of the most resirable candidates on the campus will be taken care of by this com mittee and these candidates will then be voted on by the student body. The greater part of Thursday’s as sembly will be turned over to the student volunteer campaign. An out side speaker has been secured to ex plain every phase of the volunteer program and talks from the promin ent students will immediately follow. Shares are to be sold at the assem bly for one dollar each, this share entitling the buyer to a vote on the candidates nominated. An individual may buy as many shares as he wishes. It is essential to the success of the undertaking that the majority of the students attend the assembly this Thursday. The committee is con fident that the University will support the movement in true Oregon style. 48-PIECE BAND PLANNED, Harold Simpson Selected as Leader of R. O. T. C. Musicians The military training department of the University will have a hand of 48 pieces. Harold B. Simpson, a sophomore from North Bend, who has had several years’ experience in army bands, will be the leader. Ills assistant will be Herbert Hacker, a freshman from Portland, who has had experience in instructing and leading a navy band. Forty-eight instruments were or dered from the government about two weeks ago and are expected to ar rive soon. Capt. Baymor.d C. Baird, commandant of the R. O. T. C., re ports that there is every indication that the band will be a great success. Long on Spirit But Short on Finances; Students Worried ‘Tickets, please!” Two little words, but full of mean ing. They are the two words which are causing worry to the whole cam pus. For the whole campus is going to be moved to Portland for this week-end, and the whole campus doesn’t have money enough to go. Therefore the campus is worrying. They absolutely have to be in Port land to witness the game with Wash ington State. There isn’t one of the 1600 who doesn’t want to go. But, the financial question enters into the discussion. For the men it is a comparatively simple problem when first consid ered. ‘‘Gonna; ride the blinds,” is the favorite expression among them. But when they stop to consider that there are exactly 798 other fellows planning to do the same thing, and on practically the same trains, the matter assumes a different aspect, and they go to thinking. Anyone who can play a horn, or beat a drum will have an easy time of it. All they have to do is to join the band, and let the University pay their way. But for the rest of us, what? Raffles will take care of a few peo ple. Many of the houses are getting up pools to send a few of the lucky ones to the game. One clever scheme was brought to light when one of the men who went to Seattle last week returned. It seems that ho had collected all his fraternity brothers' books, hocked them and made rather a neat profit. He still lacked about ten dollars however, so he had the nerve to borrow it from one of his friends whose books ho had trifled with. The brothers could not explain the absence of the books until the man returned from Seattle. But lie had been bright. He bet the exact amount of his expenses on the game, won, redeemed the books, placated the brothers, and made everyone happy. What he would ha re done had Ore gon lost is another story. But to get back to the problem of the Portland trip. No one knows how we are going to do it, but the fact still remains. Everyone is going. PRIZE OF $10 IS OFFERED Theta Sigma Phi is Donor—Winning Verse to Appear in Oregana For the purpose of stimulating em bryo poets in tlie University Theta Sigma Phi, national women’s journal istic fraternity, lias offered a cash prize of $10 for the best poem on campus subjects to be contributed before January 1.

The representatives of the various men’s houses on the campus are urg ed to be present at this meeting to discuss the constitution and bylaws for tlie proposed forensic council. VICTORY PURCHASED DEARLY AT COST OF CRIPPLED VARSITY Oregon to Face Crucial Game Next Saturday With Stare on Sick List “COUGARS” OUT FOR BLOOD Shy’s Men to Have New Plays With Which to Battle for Coast Title in Portland Although Oregon won over Wash ington Saturday she did it at a cost of several injuries that may prove to be serious in view of the coming struggle with W. S. C. “Spike” Les lie has a very slim chance of being able to play the contest in Portland as a result of injuries sustained in the the “battle royal.” He is hardly able to walk today and may be kept out for the rest of the season. He has been put under a physician’s care who hopes his patient may recover enough to be able to play on Satur day. Mart Howard is limping about the campus with a sore leg but it is practically certain that his in juries will not keep him out of the lineup. Bill Steers is battered up to a minor degree, but with a few days’ rest will be able to resume his duties. Several other men, in fact practically every man who played in the contest, is injured to some extent, blit ‘Trainer Bill Hayward is working his crew of steamers and rubbers overtime in preparation for the next classic. ^ Next Game Decisive Thus far there have been no games that give a real clue as to the actual strength of the Washington Staters who are to be met on Saturday. Their defeat of California a week ago was expected, but the strength of the “Golden Bear” is an unknown quantity. The California team just nosed out the O. A. C. eleven by one touchdown, whereas the “Cou gars” won by two. However, everything points to the fact that the northwest and Pacific Coast championship will be settled on Multnomah field this week-end. The Staters downed Idaho 37 to 0 in a comparatively easy contest in which they used most of their sub stitutes. This, together with the fact that the Oregon-Idaho game was not in any sense a walkaway, proves that the eastern Washington aggre gation is among the leaders of the conference. Oregon's Turn to Win According to the contests of for mer years, it Is Oregon’s turn to win. The wins have alternated dur ing the last few years and W. S. C. won the last one played between the two institutions In 1917. However, it is to be a battle to a finish. The backfleld which the opposition has is one of the best that they have had in years. Oregon’s line held wonder fully at Seattle except for a time in the second quarter when the Seattle ites made yardage five straight times through the line. If the first line can be started intact Oregon should bo able to hold h.er own and with the backs showing the way they did last Saturday there is hope for a victory. Practice did not begin In earnest until this afternoon. The rally yes terday served as a good time for a rest for the much-battered gridiron warriors and little except training table and a short talk was given in the way of preparation. Hard Work Coming The remainder of the week, how ever, will be given over to strenuous work. With two of the hardest con tests before them, Coaches Hunting ton and Spellman and Trainer Hay (Continued on page 4)
