Correspondence Campaign is
Well Under Way
FIRST LETTER IS ENTICING
Record Crowd is Expected For
Game and Week-end
With several secretaries rushing out
the. correspondence to University of
Oregon alumnae who are spread over
the country, the advertising for Ore
gon annual Homecoming is getting
well under way. The first task of the
Oregon Alumni association is to send
letters to all who are expected to re
turn to their alma mater November 18
and 19 to look over the old University.
Thirty-five hundred copies of the fol
lowing letter are being mailed to the
alumnae of the University in advertise
ment of the coming reunion. The letter,
written by Miss Charlie Fenton, in the
opinion of assistants in alumni secre
tary’s office, 4s a peppy and most en
thusiastic achievement. With such
aifi inticing advertisement circulating
throughout the country it is calculated
that Oregon will see on its campus more
old faces than aver before have been
seen here 5at one time.
Big Program Planned
An extensive program is being plan
ned by the university for the enter
tainment of alf the homecomers and
together with the battle with O. A. C.
it is expected to induce an unprece
dented crowd to return in November.
The letter follows:
“Dear 01’ Timer:
“ Doubtless you’ve noticed that Ore
gon has planned her Homecoming week
end for November 18th and 19th this
year, but probably you haven’t taught
of it in direct connection with your
self. The Homecoming is not a student
affair; it’s not put on for the football
team; instead its planned, directed and
carried out for just one person: YOU.
And you won’t want to miss your own
party this year for several reasons that
won’t let you stay away.
“THE GAME. Homecoming’s big
gest feature is always the football game,
played this year with our bitterest rival,
O. A. C., on Saturday afternoon, Novem
ber 19 on_ Hayward field. The lemon
yellow football team this year is made
up'of fighters and Coach “Shy” Hun
tington with his assistants have coached
them to the limit. You’ll see a scrappy
football classic.
Big Noisy Bally
“THE NIGHT BEFORE. The big
gest and noisiest rally of the Univer
sity year will be staged on this night
ddWn town and ending on old Kincaid
field. Here the crowd will mingll
1 around the frosh bonfire which will be
bigger and better than ever. Former
varsity lettermen and old yell leaders
will start things at this pep fest.
“THE NEXT MORNING. Our big
Alumnj Obnventjon will be held in the
morning in Alumni hall after which
everyone will come out at noon for the
Big Beef Barbecue probably held on
old Kincaid field. Set this date aside
so that you can be there.
“YOUR OWN SPIRIT. Way down
inside you can feel that longing, that
desire to be l^ack on the old campus, to
sit with a howling, yelling mob' in the
big grandstand, to feel the inspiring
thrill of the “OSKY”, and then the
sensational, breath-taking instant of
the kick-off, and to push that lemon-'
yellow team to one touchdown after
another and, finally to victory! Then,
after the game to join with' the cheer
ing, dancing crowd arid to mix with the
bunch on the armory floor—Can you
stay away this year?
“The old timers, the young ones, too,
- are expecting you back in Eugene on
November 18th and 19th. And the
lemon-yellow team that you fought for
needs you now as much as then. Those
fighting ‘Oregon Tigers’ have a right
to your support.
“You’re not going to miss it, are
you?
“CHARLIE FENTON,
Alumni Secretary.”
DYMENT WILL NOT COACH
LACK OF FIELD MAY KEEP SOC
CER FROM SOUND BASIS
Meeting to be Held Today in McClure
Hall to Discuss Year’s Plans for
Sport; Has Many Enthusiasts
Dean Dyment, veteran soceer player,
who not only introduced the English
game as a competitive sport at the
University, but coached varsity squads
five seasons with a loss of only one
game, and that single defeat by a mar
gin of one g6al when Multnomah slip
ped up through the mists of a snow
storm in a game played in Portland in
1916, will not coach soccer at Oregon
this year. This decision was made in
view of the, fact that an 'increasing
amount of work prevents Dean Dyment
from doing what he feels is justice to
the team.
“Intercollegiate Soccer will never be
on a sound basis until the department
of physical education locates a good
field,” said Dean Dyment when criti
cising the irregularity of the grounds
adjacent to the Kincaid grandstand.
“Soccer games call for the most delicate
of touches, impossible in six inches of
mud ami water. Kincaid is good
neither for practice nor games.” The
former soccer coach believes that a
good soccer team coulil be developed
from the large number of enthusiastic
players now on the campus, and that
it is too bad they cannot be trained
'hie to a lack of facilities.
Morgan Staton, eaptain'Vlect of the
soccer team, has decided to start the
: players for their fall practice regard
less of the condition of the field. A
meeting of all men interested in soccer
will be held in the chemistry lecture
room of McClure hall at 4:00 this after
noon. Staton is associate manager of
the Emerald this year, but hopes to find
an occasional free evening to go out
and boot the pill.
Soccer squads sent out by the depart
ment of physical education are daily
practicing on the new field laid out on
the slope back of the Kincaid grand
stand. This is a phase of the extensive
gym work carried on by the department,
but Mr. Scott, head of the department,
says that many of the men show more
tllhn a rudimentary knowledge of the
game. i
“Two soccer squads at a time are sent
out to the field,” said Mr. Scott.
' ‘ Fundamental instructions in soccer I
is our plan to develop the game and
next year incorporate it in q doughnut '
league. We intend to make if popular
as we carl. The men in our outdoor
gym classes pick up the gam? fast,!
and some have skill in handling the
ball. It is one of the best games
for class ■activities, team work, and |
exercise.”
Information from O. A. C. tells of
unprecedented soccer activities on the
Aggie turf. “Scotty” Wiltshire, the
O. A. C. soccer coach, has an assistant
this year, Brigdon, a professional En
glish player. The Aggie booters have
several tentative games on their list,
and hope to meet Oregon in an ex
change of contests.
It is believed that definite arrange
ment for regular varsity practice will
be made at the meeting this afternoon.

Earle Voorhies was announced at the

NEW Y. M. SECRETARY
EXPECTED HERE NOV. I
Chicago Man Recommended
Highly For Position
FUND DRIVE STILL SHORT
Many Students Not Yet Able
To Meet Pledges
L. P. Putnam- of Chicago, who is to
be the new secretary of the campus
Y. M. C. A. will arrive in Eugene on
the first or second of November, ac
cording to a telegram received from
him. This news was received with great
pleasure by the officers and advisory
board of the organization, which has
been working to get the year started
off in good shape, and have everything
working smoothly by the time the new
secretary arrives.
Mr. Putnam will be a valuable man
for the University, according to all
those who know him or have been ac
quainted with his work, who regard him
as tli# man to place the campus “Y”
in the position of prominence it should
occupy. In recommending him to the
Advisory Board, W.' W. Dillon, execu
tive ^secretary, Interstate Executive
Committee, Y. M. C. A. of Oregon and
Idaho, said: “He has a good personality,
earnestness of purpose, deep conviction,
and maturity that would make him ef
fective with faculty J as well as stu
dents.” *
Gale Seaman’s Endorsement
(Sale Seaman, field secretary of the
International f. M. C. A. Executive
Committee, recommended him as fol
lows: “Our International Student
Secretaries who know his work in the
student field recommend him without
qualifications.”
Nine years of experience in Chicago
have given Mr. Putnam a wide range
of knowledge concerning his work. For
three years he was metropolitan student
secretary, and in charge of alumni
social service, for three years business
secretary in the central “Y”, and for
the last three years has been in charge
of religious work in the central depart- j
ment.
Mrs. Putnam will go to California for
a month upon their arHval here and
will visit friends there while Mr. Put
nam is finding a home in Eugene.
Eugene.
Many Desire to Aid
The campaign for funds last week
did not bring as good results as had
been expected, but the fact that the goal
which was set was not reached was due
largely to the difficult financial condi
tion of most of the men of the Univer
sity this fall. Although the staff of

solicitors was kept to a small number,
the organization was good, and all of
the men on the campus were approached
for .subscriptions. Many new men
showed their \desire to help, although
unable to do so immediately, by signing
pledge cards payable at some time dur
ing the present term. A large number
of those who made'pledges last spring
were unable to meet them last week,
but most-of these amounts will be forth
coming before the close of the term in
December. If all pledges are realized,
there will be enough funds to carry on
the work of the organization. The “Y”
urges all men to pay up as soon as pos
sible. as the initial expense of starting
off another school year will consume
nearly all the funds collected during the
past week.
