Work in Earnest Is Begun On
Humor Publication.
Tartial staff appointments for the
Lemon Punch, University humorous pub
lication, were made today at a short
meeting held in the Journalism annex
and work has begun in earnest in se
curing material for the first issue of
the publication. Those appointed were:

erness, Kenneth Cooper; Editorial Staff.
Allan Carncross, Erwin Ludemaii. John
Dierdorff. Warren Kays was previous
ly appointed Assistant Business Man
ager and Doc Braddock. Managing Edi
tor.
‘'The staff is only partially made up”
Stan Eisman said. “Those chosen have
had previous'experience on humorous
publications or have manifested ability
along this line in the past but there is
still plenty of room for others upon the
! staff and more appointments will be
made as ability is shown or talent is
discovered on the campus.” He urged
■all students who were interested along
this line to bland in samples of their work
as soon as possible.
Two humorous publications from other
universities, the “Froth” and ‘ Lyre”

one on- the campus and the other in the
journalism annex.
Students are urged to contribute any
humorous articles, poems, or jokes that
may occur to them from time to time
as it is necessary that there be a large
amount of material on hand with which
to work if the publication is to lie made
a success.
Gladys Platt Puzzles Over Game;
Washington and Oregon Both Liked
INTRODUCING GLADYS PLATT, as
sistant in the cataloging department
of the University library.
If-there is one thing on earth that
Gladys Platt dislikes more than any*
other, she says, it is writing on a type
writer. She explained that this is prob
ably largely due to the fact that she. uses
the hunt-and-peek system.
Miss Platt graduated last year from
the University of Washington, where she
took a three year course in library work.
She has lived most of her life in Idaho
Falls, which is in the southeastern part
of Idaho, and she went to Washington
because a chum of lier’s was taking a
course there and was eager to have Miss
I'latt with her.
l'he coming Washingtoh-Oregon game*
presents a great problem to Miss Platt.
She likes Oregon so well that she doesn’t
feel like cheering for Washington, and
on the other band, she can’t cheer for
Oregon. Therefore, the only thing for
her to do seems to be to keep still, and
she thinks this will be hard to do.
Miss Platt came to Eugene about the
middle of last July, and with her she
brought her younger sister, who is at
tending the Eugene high school. They
are making their home in town, and
like it very much.
The particular thing which Gladys
Platt talks about most just now is her
brother Dwight Platt, who is coming to
see her almost any time. He has re
cently been married, and due to the ex
citement of this great event he com;
pletely forgot to mention what train he
would arrive on in the telegram that
told of his coming. And, just because
she didn’t want to leave O. A. 0. out,
Miss Platt said that her brother Is a
graduate of that school.

This year’s Homecoming dance which
will he held at the Armory Saturday
evening, November 13, is expected to
prove the climax to one of the best dis
plays of welcome and fellowship to the
alumni ever held on the campus, accord
ing to “Bib” Carl, chairman of the af
fair. Practically all arrangements have
now been made, he continues, and with
the remaining days of the week in which
to apply the finishing touches, everything
should be in proverbial “apple-pie” or
der next Saturday night.
“Our Homecoming dance is not a
merely student body dance,” Carl says.
“It is a part of the Homecoming pro
gram and constitutes the grand climax of
Oregon’s spirit of W’eleomo and fellow
ship to our alumni. In order to carry
out this spirit, we must exchange dances
with the old timers and absolutely refuse
to trade them among ourselves until we
arrive at the Armory. The thing we
are trying to ‘put over’ is our apprecia
tion of the visitors presence, not mere
selfish enjoyment, and it must be them
we think of first.”
Ail Cxp«cted to Help,
Kverythjng is to be as informal as
possible.” he continued. "We expect to
have a regular "get acquainted” sort of
a party, and those who do not dance are
expected to do their bit in helping carry
the spirit of the week-end out by social
intercourse with the old grads who are
sitting in the balcony. There are many
ariying them who have passed the danc
ing age, and they, too. must be shown
the. same spirit of welcome and good
fellowship.”
For the comfort of those attending,
Carl says, arrangements are being made
to eliminate the crowded conditions in
the cloak rooms that have marred for
mer affairs held at the Armory.
Tickets for the affair, which starts
promptly at 8 o’clock P. >M., may be se
cured from the Y. M. C. A. hut and the
Co-op store. The charge will be one
dollar per couple, with no war tax.
Alumni tickets, he says, may be obtained
free from Don Davis or at the Co-op
store.
Jazz Kings Will Reign.
"Ton of the best jazz kings in the Uni
versity will sit in the orchestra pit Sat
urday nigjit,” lie continued, “And will
pour from their instruments, during the
entire 12 dances, as classy a brand of
music as we have ever listened to. It
sure will he worth listening to!”
Those aiding and assisting in the
handling of the dance are as follows:
Programs and features — Beatrice
Crewdson, chairman; Marjorie Holiday,
Dorothy Eakin; Music, cloak rooms, pa
trons corner, etc. — Carl Newbury,
chairman; Art Kunhausen. Aubrey Fur

and patronesses — Helen Nelson, Helen

oration committee has been split into
three divisions for ease of handling, the
first of which is: Those securing dec

Frank Carter; those putting up decora

Oregons’ fighting football team should
be in the best, of physical shape and
ready for the fray Saturday unless the
unforeseen should happed this week.
First string men who h'ave been injured
previously during the season took advan
tage of the fact that Oregon did not play
Saturday and there will be no injuries
to complain of' in the line-up which will
face the Sundodgers.
The University of Washington played
practically a tie game against Stanford
eleven, and barring “Dink” Templeton,
the Cardinals could not have, scored.
The Sundodgers also held O.A.C. in a
like manner and in the last two games
that the Northerners have lost all the
scoring has been done by the aerial
route.
Teams Evenly Matched.
According to all the available dope,
which is pretty badly upset since Satur
day, the game here this week will be be
tween two very evenly matched teams.
Washington lias been defeated but not
by scores that would show the North
erners to be weaker than the other coast
teams, to any great extent. Oregon has
only had one real test in which Stanford
emerged victorious by a 10 to 0 score.
The score in this game hardly told the
story of the actual playing done, and if
the dope holds Oregon is about on the
same par with Washington.
The Sundodgers are coming to Eu
gene full of fight and pep, determined to
defeat the lemon-yellow eleven. Oregon
is going to trot onto Hayward field
Saturday in the best trim that the team
has been in this season. The coaching
staff has been busy the last week in
working out the best combinations for
the game with the Northerners, there is
not expected to be very many new faces
in the Saturday line-up, although there
may be some. Coach “Shy” Hunting
ton is not as yet giving out any informa
tion on this subject. It is known that
he has been developing the drive into
his field and making a smooth working
machine out. of them and whatever com
bination faces the Washington veterans
Saturday, fight will always he there.
Washington More Exeprienced.
Washington has the advantage in ex
perienced men, but this is not expected'
to gain them anything. All told, Coach
Huntington has ong letter man in his
)>ackfield this season and four 'in his
line positions; this means that there
has been a world of difficulties to face
in selecting the green men for the posi
tions.
Scrimmage practice will probably be
continued this week until about Wednes
day evening when the rest of the week
will he devoted to light signal workouts
and final conditioning for the big strug
gle. The entire squad lias been put
through a pretty stiff program of scrim
mage the past week including scrub
scrimmage and mixes with the Frosli
eleven. The Frosh cannot he expected
to furnish the opposition this week on
account of their big annual game with
the O. A. C. rooks which will take place
Thursday afternoon.
CLUBS FIGHT COMBINATION.
Controversy rages at the University
of Washington over the amalgamation
of the two oldest honorary societies on
the campus. The Oval Club, the oldest
honorary society on the campus, refused
to combine with the Quad Club, follow
ing a stormy session.
FREEZING FROSH KEEP
WATCH OVER BONFIRE
Guardians of Homecoming Pyre Pass
Long Cold Night Playing and
Talking.
Armed with overcoats. Manketa, "hot
dogs,” cookies, and plenty of Oregon
Spirit, eleven freshmen reported for bon
fire guard duty on Kincaid field Saturday
night.
The first part of the evening was
spent in cards (Methodist five hundred)
and story telling. Along toward mid
night a series of impromptu debates be
gan on such important subjects as cap
ital punishment and the racial question,
.‘•Texas” Higgenbotham taking an ag
gressive part in each discussion.
Here the writer of this article fell
nlseep, and when he awoke the discus
sion had turned to edibles of the mollusk
family, such as oysters, clams, and snails.
Higgenbotham was describing a denizen
of Texas which he calls the "gooey
duck.” This, he claimed, is considered a
great delicacy by the natives of the
Lone Star State.
At the close of this lively discussion
some of the boys endeavored to snatch
“forty winks,” but the temperature of
the atmosprere was not conducive to
slumber, and the remainder of the night
wns spent trying to keep warm.
At f> o’clock a lottery system deter
mined who should have the privilege of
retiring to downy beds, the two unlucky
ones remaining on guard until 8 o’clock,
when they were relieved by the day shift.
Shifts of two men each were on duty
all day Sunday, and about ten frosb
took the field Sunday night.
Student Falls From Truck and
Is Run Over.
Velma Ross, of Marshfield, suffered
a spraine^ knee and ankle and severe
cuts and bruises when she was run over
by a trailer drawn by a truck at the
corner of Fifteenth and Hilyard Satur
day afternoon. She was taken to the
hospital, but later removed to the
.Tames Pearson home on Mill street,
when it. had been determined that her
injuries were not serious.
iM.iss Ross was a member of a picnic
party which left the Pi Beta Phi house
at 4:30 Saturday afternoon. At Fif
teenth and Tlilyard the end-gate of the
truck broke, and Miss Ross who was
leaning against it. fell to the street.. The
trailer, in which about 20 persons were
riding, passed over her right leg and
just missed passing completely over her
body.
Miss Ross is a pledge of Pi Beta Phi.
ALL SECURITIES SOLD
FOR MUSIC BUILDING
The entire $75,000 worth of securities
to build the new music. building have
Ix^en sold in the first week's campaign,
according to Dean H. Walker, chairman
of the committee for selling the bonds.
Mr. Walker, who was on the campus
Monday and made his report to the pres
ident’s office, says that, about $05,000 of
the securities were taken by business
, men in Kugene, and about $10,000 by
students and members of the University
faculty. The fact that the banks took
a. large part of the business men’s share
make it possible for friends of the insti
tution, who lmve not. already subscribed,
to do so as the hanks are willing to re
call the bonds at any time.
