ON TO PORTLAND1
Concentrate your thought on Port
land. Our splendid victory over tho
University of Washington last Sat
urday now lives only in tho treas
ured stores of our athletic annals.
Before u# lies a game which appears
to he the hardest game of the sea
son the contest with the Washington
State eleven in Portland Saturday.
Kvery Oregon student must think
football, eat football, sleep football,
drink football and live football from
now until November tti. Wo all
want to win from O. A. C. That con
test looms up as the biggest game of
the year for us. It is well, but we
Ml'ST defeat the Washington Staters.
Do you realize that Washington State
has one of tho most powerful aggre
gations on thy Pacific coast this
season? It has already defeated the
strong California and Idaho elevens
by large scores.
Saturday, in company with a throng
of loyal supporters and a band, the
Washington Ag men are going to
sweep into Portland determined to
defeat our eleven and thus practi
cally cinch the coast conference title
and the right to represent the West
in the big intersectional classic which
will be staged in Pasadena New
Year’s day.
Our eleven is crippled as a result
of the injuries received in the game
with the University of Washington
Our team needs our support now
more than at any time this season.
Think football, sleep football, eat
football, drink football, live football
and concentrate your thought on the
Portland game. Make your plans
now to swell the crowd which will «
journey to the Rose City to uphold
the honors of the lemon yellow. We
cannot bow to the eleven or the root
ing section of the Washington Agri
culture college.
USHERS AS A NEW CUSTOM
Class customs at the University of
Oregon have run largely to clothes,
from freshman caps to senior som
breros, but the possibility of a more
dignified and useful class custom
is the suggestion that ushers be
chosen, from men of the upper,
classes preferably, to assist at assem-i
blies, vespers and lectures. 'the
suggestion comes from President
Campbell, who believes that the cus-;
tom would be a desirable one.
With the growth of the student j
body Villard hall is always crowded'j
at assembly hour and ushers would |
bo of great assistance In enabling
students to find seats. ft is even
more important that townspeople find
seats and often they remain stand
ing or have poor seats simply because
no one wishes to wander aimlessly
about the hall looking for seats and
then -be disappointed in the search.
The custom of having ushers, or
marshals, as they arp often called,
is a common one at universities and
colleges throughout the country. At
Chicago university the system of
senior marshals is used and here as
at other institutions it is considered
an honor to be chosen for the per
formance of these duties.
We do need ushers here. What
class will be the first to start this
custom?

Pioneer Wins Moustache Cup
I’he bushy-beards were all lined up,
The whisker race was o’er.
Each senior felt that on his lip,
Of whiskers, he had more,
rhe judges were reliable,
Their eyesight fifty-fifty;
Each had a high power microscope,
To find the whiskers thrifty.
The whisk-brooms on their upper lips
The seniors stroked with pride,
Each knew that when it came to
beards
The luck was on his side.
The contest closed, the judges met,
In council to decide
The race, and while the argument
Was on, one glanced outside.
A sight they saw that made them al!
Forget the other crops—
A senior clad in sombrero, and
And beard al la cedar mops
Was standing on the campus path;
The judges launched a cheer;
They rushed to give the moustache
prize—
It was the “Pioneer.”

No more you’ll be the graveyard
Of Aggie victory.

Rub-a- Duber Lost,
and Found Again
and Stole—B’gosh
With the return ot the victorious
team from Seattle comes the story
of the stolen drum. The story deals
with the outwitting of Washington
rooters by Oregonians, and, later,
the turning of the tables.
Long ago, so long ago, in fact, that
many doubted the veracity of the
tale, a drum was stolen from an
Oregon band when the annual classic
between the Purple and Gold and
Lemon^yellow was staged in Port
land. According to Floyd South, an
old Phi Delt, who has recently re
turned to college for post-graduate
work, after the game with Oregon in
1913, some Washington students
walked into the hotel where the Eu
gene men were staying, quietly pick
ed up the drum and departed.
The whole incident caused, little
excitement and, until it was revived
the other day, had been almost for
gotten. But, when the Oregon sup
porters landed in Seattle, they found,
staring at them from a store window,
the ancient drum, with its interest
ing history printed alongside. Two
of the men went into the store, and
made a vain attempt to confiscate
! the instrument.
Later in the day, Jack Benefiel and
another Oregon man concocted a
1 successful scheme. One of them
went into the store and posed as a
floorwalker. Then the other arrived,
told the fraudulent floor-pacer that
he was a University of Washington
student, and had been sent after the
drum. The occupants of the store
looked on complacently as the drum
left.
Much elated, the two Oregon men
took the drum to the express com
pany and shipped it to the Multno
mah club in Portland, the idea being
that' they would get it Sunday, and
bring it back to Eugene with the
team.
But the word leaked out. Someone
guyed a Washington undergraduate
with disastrous results. When the
Oregon men arrived in Portland, after
having defeated the strong northern
aggregation, the drum was gone.
Two Washington men, posing as the
shippers, had been in Portland, ac
quired the drum, and departed.
There is one consolation. Next year
Washington plays in Eugene. And '
the northerners have a certain big
stick and a certain hook.
“Get the hook”!
