Members of the class of 1891 said “Hello” to the mem bers of the class of 1921, and those of ’23 are being plied with questions from the members of the class of ’93.

Just watch the smile that all the old boys wear, if you think they are not hav ing the time of their lives. The campus is the property of the “Old Grad” this week-end and we are glad to extend to them the hos pitality that goes with and is a part of the Oregon Spirit. Trains this evening are expected to bring a num ber of old students,, who are return ing in time to see the freshmen bon fire and listen to the “pep” talks which will be given on Kincaid field this evening. Frosh Work all Night After working all night last night the freshmen fire mounted up until it was about 40 feet high this morn ing. It is being closely guarded by the .first year men, who are not tak ing any chances on having the re sult of their labor going up in smoke before the appointed hour. The “O” on Skinner’s Butte is also being watched to keep it free from any , orange tinted paint. Following a jazz parade, from • which old grads will not be barred, the ceremony on Kincaid field will * start. The parade will start at 7:30 t and will be a regular rough-neck af fair. Eugene will be stormed and , captured and then, the ralliers hav ing gotten their pep in good running order, they will return to the cam pus to listen to the “Old Grads” tell how it "used to was” and then hear some of the others tell how “it is going to be.” Cup for Best'Stunt The stunt show will also be staged tonight.

SATURDAY MARKS 42D YEAR OF OR. STRAUB’S WORK IN IDI Event is Taken as Token Of Victory for Oregon on Gridiron COMPLIMENTS ARE GIVEN Head of College of Liberal Arts With Oregon for Nearly Half Century The lucky talisman is found, fate will be with the team Saturday for never yet have the skies decreed defeat for Oregon on the anniversary of Dean Straub’s connection with this University. Two years ago Oregon gave O. A. C. a terrible beating. Why? Because the game was played on the day which marked the Dean’s celebration. Tomorrow the Univer sity’s best friend will start his forty second year on the Oregon campus. What more encouragement could any team ask? Forty-two years and still a fresh man, is the record of Dean Straub, still an Oregon enthusiast. The old Oregon spirit, famous from coast to coast, has been in his keeping since Deady Hall was an infant and the University football team could count its principal rooter as the first Oskie rang out on Kincaid field. Fresh man have been his special pride. Who has entered the University without his wonderful s,end off which goes something like this: “This is the very best freshman class that ever came to the University?.’ Developer of Oregon Spirit “Dean Straub,” said Marion Mc Clain, graduate manager, “is respon sible for the Oregon Spirit, because he has never let a freshman start wrong.” Stan Anderson, president of the student body said today: “Alumni need never worry about the old Ore gon Spirit as long as John Straub is dean.” There are a few differences be tween the University of today and that of thirty or forty years ago. For instance, the men’s gymnasium in the early days consisted of two ropes hung from oak trees in front of Deady Hall. It was on these ropes that Oregon developed her Bill Steers of yesterday. “Yelling,” said the Dean, “my, no! No one ever yelled on the campus then. The whole place bore the character of a deaf mute institution. Candles Brought to Classes Picture students coming to classes with a candle in one hand and a book in the other. Dean Straub says (Continued on page 8) "OREGON QUOTA WILL BE THERE” IS WORD FLASHED TO NEW,YORK Telegram Sent Central Office of Student’s Volunteers Convention SPECIAL TRAIN CHARTERED Homecoming Delays Campaign Until Tuesday—Proceeds of Play To Be Given “Oregon’s quota will be there.” Those were the words of the tele gram sent to the central office of the student volunteer convention com mittee in New York last night. _ This seemed a bold step to take but the campus committee had received no tices that the delegates from the other colleges in Oregon were to be there, those from Washington and California specially mentioned, so thee members of the committee felt that the students of the University would meet the call. The Homecoming activities have to some extent delayed this volunteer campaign,, making it necessary to postpone the day of voting for the student delegates until next Thurs day. Era Godfrey, chairman of the nominating committee, announced to day that the list of nominees will be ready for public announcement next Tuesday. She wished to impress the fact that if anyone has students in mind whom they believe would make good delegeates, that they hand in their names to her as soon as pos sible. A special train will be chartered to carry the delegates from the Ore gon institutions, leaving Portland in time to place these students in Des Moines for the first session of the convention. The latest word from the national committee is that more than 8,000 students from the United States and Canada will assemble on December 31. Speakers of inter national reputation will bring their messages on the topics of political, social, industrial and religious ques tions. The national committee fur ther points out that no university or college can afford to pass up this chance of having their delegates there to profit from these important discussions. The play to be given by Mask and Buskin on December 6 for the benefit of the volunteer fund is progressing. The play selected is a likeable com edy and one which the students will enjoy. Johnnie Houston, in charge of this all-student production, reported last night that the cast and the name of the play would be announced by an extensive advertising campaign (Continued on page 8) What There Will Be and Where to See It FRIDAY Evening—Rally, Freshman Bonfire and Stunt Show on Kincaid Field.

OLD YELL-KING IS BACK Charles Robinson Was the *'SlSm” Crandall of 1912 Charles W. Robinson of Astoria is among the prominent alumni who are back at Oregon for Homecoming week-end.

He is among the alumni who will speak during Homecoming. “Misfit” Party is Held A “misfit” party was staged at Utah Agricultural College by thoj seniors.

F. Harding Howard Steers Hodler Powell Brandenburg Jacobberger Huntington BY HERMAN LIND With a new field, prospects for good weather, some six thousand vis itors here, and one of the best teams that has ever represented Oregon on th gridiron, what more can Oregon followers ask for a perfect game to morrow afternoon? If the weather man does not fall down in the pinch, followers who are in Eugene for the Homecoming struggle should be treat ed to one of the best contests of the year. Spirit is at a high pitch this even ing—the eve of the battle. Oregon fans are out to win. alumni and stu dents combined. The spirit is at such a high pitch that every person in Eugene is anxiously awaiting the morrow when the big clash of the year is to take place. Tomorrow morning, the Aggie fol lowers are due to arrive on the cam pus. Prom all early reports, the col legians will be remarkably well rep resented in the bleachers. The man ager of O. A. C. student affairs has wired for more seats in the stands, and the Corvallis people together with the alumni will number close to three thousand. The spirit at Corvallis also has been at an abormal height this week. Beginning with Monday, the rooters have been busy every evening with rallies, bonfires and shows, and the entire student body of the rival in stitution is slated to be in Eugene by noon. To say that the game will be one of “fight” is. useless, because an O. A. C.-Oregon contest is always known for that. The Aggies are out to down the “Once every ten years” tra dition, while the Varsity will do their utmost to show the Corvallis aggre gation that such is the case. The new field is now in pretty fair condition, and the only thing that will spoil things is rain. Coach Hunting ton and Trainer Hayward have spent the greater part of their time* dur ing this week in getting the new gridiron ready for the impending bat tle. An effort will be °made to roll it before Saturday in ordSr to make (Continued on page 8)
