service. With this idea in view a special
effort was made to reach all the service
men. and invite them to attend. Many
men in camps nearby were granted fur
loughs for this Homecoming visit.
The outcome, of the game looked un
certain for Oregon because the Oregon
boys were outweighed 19 pounds to a
man, and were also lacking in experience.
.The golden state eleven had had a bril
liant season and expected to walk off
with an Oregon victory. - Bezdek admit
ted that things looked dubious. However.
Oregon again showed what she was made
of by piling up a score of 21-0.
Bill Steei’s was the-star of the game,
going 00 yards to a touchdown on one
occasion. This Oregon victory marked
the “9th anniversary of Dean Straub's
arrival on the Oregon campus.
Omitted in 1918.
There was no Homecoming in the year
1918, because of the war and the in
fluenza epidemic.
Thus we come to last year and the
1919 Homecoming, when, to start the
hall rolling, a Homecoming slogan con
test was started by Herald White, chair
man of the Homecoming committee.
Many catchy phrases were turned in hut
finally, “Home to Win Again, Oregon”
was chosen.
Five thousand Homecoming stickers
were printed to he used for advertising
purposes, and everyone wrote to all the
old students they knew, urging them to
come back and make this after-the-war
Homecoming a thing to be remembered
and talked about for years to come. Cir
culars containing programs for the week
end were sent out. and arrangements
made to have tickets for the game on
sale in Portland so that the alumni
could secure their seats in adyanep.
Houses Work Up Stunts.
The men’s organizations on the cam
pus were working hard on a stunt show

on Friday evening before the frosh bon
fire. Speaking of the frosh bonfire, it
was an immense affair. The order of
the wearers of the green cap had worked
for days bringing material to the fire,
and were guarding it carefully from be
ing set ablaze before the appointed time.
.The “O” on Skinner’s Butte was also
carefully watched to keep it free from
Orange paint.

wps so high, that c.as the reason for the
two special trains from Portland to bring
the alumni, for the big Homecoming
luncheon, for the rally, for the dance,
for the whole celebration, because the
Oregon Aggies were out to break the
“once every ten years” tradition.
New Field is Feature.
There was a new field, good weather,
prospects of 6000 visitors and Shy’s
veteran eleven. Many of the alumni
came and attended the big rally and
bonfire Friday night. They were regis
tered Saturday morning, and looked over
the new campus. Saturday, noon they
crowded the gym for the Homecoming
luncheon, which was under the direction
of Jeannette 'Moss.
At. noon on Saturday Jbe special train
from Corvallis arrived, hearing .“000 fol
lowers of the orange and black. They
paraded down Willamette street and up
Thirteenth street to Hayward field, all
Hie time crying their slogan to “Squeeze

ground gainers for'the University. Hol

The yelling from both sides was su

and the Oregon students serpentined out
on the field. It was a clean game, anil
a good game, of which both schools
could well be proud.
The lfl1.fi Homecoming was heralded
as the biggest and best ever which
