TEAM STILL RAGGED FOA STRUGGLE WITH CLUBMEN SIITUM Coaches Dissatisfied With Recent Showing of En ‘ tire Squad. M EDDIE" DURNO MAY PILOT LEMON-YELLOW Kincaid Field Again To Be Scene of Annual Battle [j With Winged M. “Spike” Leslie, “Jake” Jaoobberger and “Bill’’ Reinhart, will in all probability (be called upon to do the kicking for Coach Huntington's eleven in the game against Multnomah chib, Saturday. The loss of both “Bill” Steel's and Manerud means that the lemon-yellow team will be without the support of a dropkicker. but Coach Huntington has been drilling both Reinhart and Jaeobberger in place kicking for the last, week and appears, fairly well pleased with the results. “Spike” or “Jake” will do the punting. They have been averaging about 50 yard# in practice, for the past several days and upon one'or both of them will prob-! ably fall the task of booting the ball in the Saturday game. Coaches Huntington and Spellman still retain a sphinx-like silence in regard to the line-up for the Saturday’s game al though “Shy” stated this afterneen that he had no fewer than a half dozen com binations which he will use against the “winged M’ team. Just who will start the game will not be announced until Saturday, morning. Coaching Staff Displeased. An hour of scrimmage formed the pro gram for tftc varsity workout Tuesday and the coaching staff was far from pleased over the results obtained. “The team’s work was marked by sluggish ness.” Huntington said, “and at the rate they were going last night, they would be unable to put up a decent game against a high school aggregation.” Spellman also characterized the workout as “rot ten.’* Last night and tonight will end the scrimmage work for the week, and signal practice will he the order until Saturday’s game. “The team should be going good against Multnomah,” Coach Huntington said last night, “and although T do not know what the club men may have up their sleeve, we will give them a hard battle.” Multnomah always produces a first class aggregation and a good game is expected on Kincaid field Saturday af ternoon, although it may be a little slow as most early season games usually are. “Chuck” Robinson Injured. “Chuck” Robinson, who played a back position on the frosh team last season and who has been headed straight for a line berth on the varsity this year, re ceived injuries in scrimmage last night which will probably put him out for the rest of the season. “Chuck” had the muscles in his leg badly wrenched and it will be some time before they will be gin to mend, according to the reports from training quarters. Tom D Ar mand, who was injured in frosh foot ball practice a week ago, is still out of the frosh practice and had a slight sur gical operation performed on his shoulder last night, which will probably put him out for the rest of the season. These are the only two serious injuries which have befallen the squads this year, al though minor bruises and black eyes aie common. Competition for Line Strong. Another aspirant for a line position turned out last night in the person of ‘Tat” O’Rourke. “Tat” played a good game on the squad in 1918 at tackle and has returned to school this year. Ibis means another battle for the line posi tions, where no one is on the certain list as yet. “Hugh” Clerin, “Scotty Strachan, “Spike” Leslie, Karl Yonder Ahe and “Si” Star are all battling for a tackle berth, and the addition of O’Rourke to this combination makes a still harder problem, providing O'Rourke plays up to the old time form bo dis played in 1918. The selections for the line positions are getting a little harder each day for the coaching staff. For guard. "Ed Ward, “Fat” Mautz, “Ducky” Holmes, and Stiachan, Starr and Voder Ahe are all taking a whirl at it. The center posi (Continued on Page 8.) Vocal Cords Strain in Praise of Oregon at Big Yell Fest First Rooters’ Practice of Year Held on Old Kin caid Field; Assistants Try Out For Berths, As Leaders. (By O. BEGAN.) Memories of battle cries that spurred Oregon’s warriors on to victories in the past, visions of conflicts that shook the very sod revived yesterday to the old timers ns the historic grandstand of Kincaid field swayed in cadence to the rhythmic shouts of hundreds of students, inoculated with the Oregon Spirit. It was the first yell practice of the year. “Spell it!” commanded Claire Keeney, yell king. As a man, the crowd arose and in vocal pyrotechnics emblazoned, the letters of their alma mater. Undis turbed by the promise of rain in the lowering clouds, freshmen, sophomores. Juniors iand seniors alike turned out to unlimber their larynxes in preparation for the Multnomah club game next Sat urday. Green caps formed a verdant oasis near the center of the stand, which swelled periodically as some straggler fell victim to tlA1 cry of “Go get ’im, Frosh.” Fine Try-out. Five candidates for positions as as sistant yell leaders combined their pep generating efforts to the delight of the assembled multitude. Roy Veateh, Dean Ireland, Leslie Nunn. George Pasto and 'Kenneth Watters, the last a freshman, tohl the crowd that they were pepless and petrified, and proceeded to show them how it’s done. j A new yell, si product of the summer, made its dehut. A combination of a standard yell and the Oregon “Oskee,” it. promises to be an effective medium for the display of full-throated energy. “The Team! Ray, Ray. Ray! The Team! "Osk-owi-i-ie! “Wisk—-—ewi-i-i-e.” “Oh-o-o-o-o Oregon!” Thus it goes, with a promise that Ore gon gridsters will uphold their fame. Practice Every Wednesday. Yell practice, according to Keeney, will be held every Wednesday afternoon. Arrangements have been made for an open football workout at that time. New yells, new songs and new med iums for the use of an abundance of Oregon pep, are needed Keeney. de clares. He asks campus versifiers to get busy and produce. The selection of the two assistant yell lenders is to be made by the student council in time for them to get their first official action at the contest with 'Mult nomah on Saturday. MEMBERSHIP DRIVE TO BEGIN WEDNESDAY Local Y. W. Will Conduct Campaign on National Basis The Y. W. C. A. is to conduct a mem bership campaign beginning Wednesday of next week. According to Miss Tirza Dinsdale, secretary of the Campus Y. W. the campaign will follow new plans, on a nationally-adopted basis. At the first National Conference of the lr. W. C. A. in five years, held at Cleve land last May, Miss Dinsdale explains, it was decided to conduct the campaign on a personal basis. Formerly there has been a registration table where each girl /paid her dues and registered as a mem ber, but this year she will be met more personally and be shown the expense budget for the campus work. She will be told about the association and pay what she feels that she can. Friday afternoon at the bungalow, Viv ian Chandler will meet her committee representing each house to discuss plans for the campaign and the purposes of the association. The campaign this year will take a longer time than usual, but it is hoped it will be in closer touch with all the girls. ANNEX TO AD BUILDING Mailing Department To Use New Addi tion to Johnson Halt.

G. Moulton Oregon Gradu ate Tells of Other Days. Grouse hunting from the front win- J dows of the men’s dorm was not an un common sport in the under-graduate days of II. G. Mouton, of the class of 1905, now of New York City, who, with Airs. Moulton, visited the campus for a. few hours Tuesday, afternoon. It was the first time he had visited the campus in fifteen years. Mir. Moulton and his wife, who was Alice Merriman and attended the Uni versity in 1906, are tonring the country in their new car. After leaving New York they crossed the continent and have recently hoen traveling in southern Oregon and California. They have al ready covered 6,700 miles. In New York Twelve Years. Since graduation Mr. Moulton has been a consulting mining engineer and has been located in New York for twelve years. He was one of the only two men who completed the University course in mining engineering. A large part of his work in New York City has been con nected with siubway and construction ex cavations. He entered the University in 1900, reg-! istered from Baker, and during his time j at college lived’at the men’s dormitory. Describing one of the first football games on Kincaid field he said that it was so muddy that when one of the Ore gon players braced himself to catch a punt his feet became firmly fixed to the ground and he was unable to move until tackled by opponents. Straw was Intel scattered on the field, he said. Old Experiences Told. Mr. Moulton spent some time Tues day looking around Friendly hall and de-1 scribing to the younger generation some of the old experiences. Every room had a story of broken doors ,of midnight raids, and of icy tubbings. At that time it was the pride of each class to see their own flag flauntering de fiance to all others from the roof of the dorm. Mr. Moulton related the tale of a siege in which he and Henry McKinney, now a regent of the University, carried provisions to the roof and remained there I for two days in the defence of their flag. Mr. and Mrs. Moulton left for Cottage Grove Tuesday evening. CHICAGO CO-EDS BUCK H. C. L. Either for better or for worse the co-eds at Chicago are refusing to follow the lead in women’s footwear o.V Uc:r.g high heeled shoes. This revolt against expensive, uncomfortable shoes is a great blow to the leading shoe merchants of I the city who have laid in a large supply of fancy shoes. JIRT TUCK IN PARTY TO RESCUE COUPEE CIUGUI IN CISCADES Brother Jesse and Wife Held Behind Snow Barrier During Storm. COUPLE IN MOUNTAINS FOR TWENTY-TWO DAYS Huckleberries Save Lives; Indians Tell of Location; No Harm Suffered. With his brother and sister-in-law caught in the Caseade mountains behind an impassable barrier of snow for twenty-two days. Art Turk, former Ore gon student and Antwerp javelin hurler. was forced to turn back after he and other searchers had penetrated to the Mt. Jefferson huckleberry patches in an attempt to rescue the imprisoned couple. Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Tuck. Art’s brother and his wife, were snowbound in a de serted ranger station near the summit of the Cascades where they had gone on! September 10 to pick huckleberries. When the unexpected storms hit the1 mountains. Mr. and Mirs. Tuck were cut off from civilization. They took refuge in a deserted and dilapidated forest rang er station on Minto mountain, and when their food supply had been used up they lived for two days entirely on huckleber ries. Fearing starvation. Tuck chanced a dash over the snow-bound trail. Ho reached the camp of two Russian sheep herders who gave him a small supply of food, enough to last him until he was able to break a trail through the deep Vi'O .v when the storm abated. Telegrams from Detroit, located on the w« st slope of the Cascades, informed ^Tohn Tuck, father of the imprisoned man, that the couple could not be reach ed from that side of the mountain. Hear ing this, the searchers from Redmond renewed their attempts to reach Tuck. On the Minto mountain trail they met Indians making their wav mat who in formed them that Tuck and his wife were following. Tuck had been forced to go down the Willamette slope to Indepen dence and then back into eastern Ore gon by a trail which crossed the snow corered divide at a lower altitude. They reached civilization fatigued, but none the worse for their experience. The search for Tuck and his wife at tracted attention in central Oregon be cause two rescue parties organized at Redmond and along tjie Metolius weire unable to reach them on account of the fierce antumnal blizzard and deep snow’. Art Tuck w’ns in the first rescue party to leave Redmond. o. men school opens WITH 161 REGISTERED New Principal and 7 Teachers Compose Faculty. With an enrollment of 161 students, the University high school, the existence of which is known to but few college students, has opened for the regular fall term of scholastic work. Rollien P. Dick erson, former principal of the Roseburg high school, has been secured to act in the same capacity at the campus institu tion, taking the place of Giles M. Ruch, who has a scholarship this year at Le land Stanford University. Other new instructors include Thora Smith. A. P.., history; Ethel Wakefield, A. B., English and commerce; Leo Goss man, A. B., science, all of the University of Oregon; and Anna Vogel, of Washing ton Normal, who cdmes from the Mc Minnville schools to instruct in mathe matics. Among the other faculty members are Margaret B. Goodall. A. B., University | of Oregon, English; and Peter L. Spence, mathematics, and Edith Baker Patter, who teaches French and Latin. The school, which offers grade work from the seventh to the twelfth, inclu sive, is under the general direction of Professor H. R. Douglass, of the school of education. Glasses are limited to .°.0 students each. ★-* Tall Texan Sets | New Records In | Silk Sock Set ! *---* Thi> individual silk sock record of the North American continent is now being claimed by a freshman who hails from the longhorn state of Texas. He bases his claim on the fact that he is the possessor of 78 feet of the silky luxuries. This method of measuring socks is declared by the frosh in question to be mathematical, even if it is not customary. He has 99 pairs in his warkrobe and figuring two feet to the pair the total mounts up impos ingly. Logical as this may sound, campus statisticians declare the method is really an underestimation for they say that the average length of the masculine sock varies from 14'A inches to 17% inches. The explanation given by “Texas” for the super-abundance of hosiery is that when he graduated from high school last spring each and every friend and relative decided upon socks os a. present. The assort ment includes many whites, blacks, browns, blues, purple and greens, and plaids. “Texas” brought a handsome som brero from H:s home state with him but as he had wisdom enough not to wear it after school started and it is too big for his senior room mate it now rests among moth balls. Artist Wants More Time To Devote To Own Work. A. II. Schroff. professor of fine arts in the school of architecture, is fitting up a private studio on Eleventh avenue across from Villard hall. There will he no classes held in the ne wstudio but it is to be for the professor’s exclusive use. The studio, according to Professor .Schroff is to cost about $2000 and it is his desire to make it ns artistic as pos sible. At present the work is only well begun and Professor Schroff can give no statement as to when it will be com pleted. According to Mr. Schroff he has given all of bis time for four years to the Uni versity and unless he has some time apart from his school work which he can devote to himself his life ns an artist will be short. When the new studio is finished Pro fessor SchVoff will entertain guests of the art department and hold ireeeptions for his students there. The old studio in the Architecture building has been dis manteled. and will be used for a class room for Professor Schroll’s classes. The furniture for the studio which was ordered from the east has already ar rived. ALUlVtNI ASSOCIATION FORMS AT THE DALLES Circuit Judge Francis V.
