In the best physical trim they have been this year, and with fighting spirit dominating, the Oregon football eleven is primed for the annual battle, with the University of Washington, gridsters. which will open at 2:f>0 this afternoon on Hayward field. Eleven men are deter- ! mined that the Sundodgers will have the battle of their lives if they win the game, and win or lose, Oregon fight will char acterize the work of every man in Coach Huntington’s line-up. A light signal practice for au hour and ■a half in which the final touches were put on the squad, was the program which ■ Coach Huntington sent his squad through last, night.

Famous Trophy of Northern ers Held in Portland. i Raffles, tbe famous crook, had noth ing on tbe Oregon students who stole the University of Washington stick. The famous stick failed to read) Eugene be cause it was held up in Portland by a federal temporary restraining order against tbe express company by whom il was sent. The stick is uu old trophy formerly awarded by Washington each year to the house that has the biggest represen tation on tbe Washington team. For the .past few years it has been in the posses sion of tbe Fijis. The plans for securing tbe stick were icffected last Tuesday night at a rally coulniittee meeting, and two men were detailed to go to Seattle to procure the trophy. They were -armed with plans and keys to every fraternity house on the Washington campus, and upon searching 'the houses during the night found the r'priac in the Fiji trophy room. They slept that night in a cheap Jap hotel, and next morning took the stick to the ex press office by concealing it in a truck load of trunks. On discovering the loss, Washington men got a search warrant, but it was too kite, the stick was in Portland. The re straining order of the Portland federal judge spoiled all the plans to display the coveted stick at the rally last night. It is believed that the loss of the stick was not through any lack of cleverness of the Oregon sleuths. Rumor has it that Washington is to bring the famous iron hook to Eugene. The. plan, it is said, was to consign it to 1100 Washington students in Eugene, who had to sign up at the express office before it could he delivered. The hook was then to be chained, locked, and ironed to eight, loyal Washingtonians, and then be displayed. Hut where is the hook? The question now is whether or not it will appear at the game this af ternoon. Oregon leaders maintain that the hook will never be seen by Oregon supporters. _ Griffin Likes to Scale Peaks; Rainier Has Chief Romantic Call INTRODUCING ELDON GRIFFIN, instructor in history at the Univer sity. “It is most important that 1 speak of my wife,” said Mr. Griffin, for you see lie was married just last summer, and therefore Mrs. Eldon Griffin enters finite prominently into all his conversa tion. . The Griffins both like mountain climb ing. Mount Rainier has some particular 1.' romantic associations for us.” he de clared laughingly, “in fact I could tell a !"t about some of the interesting oppor tunities for getting acquainted which mountain climbing lias afforded us, but 1 'vou't. Mr. Griffin, wlio is a native of Kansas, graduated some years ago from Harvard. Following bis graduation he spent three years in Japan at various imperial schools iu the employment of the Japan ese government. During this time he made several trijKs into China and the Flulippiues. In this way he was able to get first hand information ubout the "’in today. Few changes are iu the line up from that which was sent against the Cardinals at Palo Alto two weeks ago. "Bill” Steers will pilot the team, while in Ike halfback position will be Mead and Chapman; Reinhart aud Hill will not eastern peoples, which forms a base for his present courses in instruction deal ing with history of the far east. When he returned to the United States he spent some time studying at Stanford Univer sity. It is Mr. Griffin’s firm belief that there are governmental problems in re gard to the foreign question right in this state that really demand a thorough knowledge of the occidental situation. He hopes to be able to present this knowledge to h great many young peo ple through the medium of his history courses "1 think 1 had too much vacation last Thursday.” admitted Mr. Griffin, “yon se >, wc were unpacking furniture. When we i-a-ne to Eugene ourr furniture did not come with us. and so. for a while, we lived with a table, a. stove, a bed and two chairs.

((Editor of the pniversity of Washington 1 Sun Dodger and speeial writer for the University of Washington Daily.) This is the story of a great football team,—“great” because we at Washing ton have more confidence in our fighters now, after three successive defeats, thin we did at the beginning of the season. Washington makes no predictions, has no excuses to offer. The Sun Dodgers have come to Eugene to do their |>pst, and we’ll be satisfied at Washington with that “best” win or lose. We Washingtonians attended your ral ly last night and heard the emphasis which each one of you, alumnus and undergraduate, placed on that first Ore gon-Washingtou game, and on the spirit of Washington teams, as you knew them, in ye goode oide days. ' - But Washington isn’t the Washington that you used to know,—not even the Washington which invaded your campus in 1916. Washington has been defeated since then, though—as you put it—“not licked.” And those losses have put a new fighting spirit in the Sun Dodger elevens and the student body, where unco was the spirit of over-confidence for nine successive years. Here it is in a few words: Washing ton is going in for a battle royal to day, because the Sun Dodgers like a good scrap, not because they want to win a championship or'a game for the game’s sake. • If you wunt to know it, Oregon, that is the new Washington spirit. We like to fight at Washington now, for the game’s sake. And we’re proud of ‘ our team’s showing this year, because it. has givpn everything that it his had, because it hi playing for love of the sport, rather tbau love of victory. So that is the story of our great foot ball team,—green, inexperienced, but fighters. We have a hew coach at Washingtqn, —“Stub” Allisou. He’s the other rea son that Washington fights. His name has as much “he-man” in it, us bo bus hiuisclf. It is doubtful if there cvcrtas been a coach at Washing ton who has been so well-liked as “Stub”’ They have obeyed others, and reward'd still others; bu the Suu Dodger athletes (Continued on Page 2.)
