VARSITY TO WATCH
DEM KM TILT
HI POITIMD TODAY
Oregbn Team to Get Line on
What to Expect From
Pullman Nov. 4
CALIFORNIA WIN EXPECTED
Washington Staters’ Believed
Likely to Show Their
Best Stuff
The varsity football team will take
things easy over the week-end, and
practically all of the squad as well as
the coaching staff will journey to Port- j
land to see the Cougars and the Bruins 1
mix on Multnomah field. With Ore
gon billed to tangle with the Staters’
next week in their own bailiwick it i
will be a good thing for the men to see I
the Washington State gang in action.'
And with Welch’s team up against the
Blue and Gold there will be no chance |
that the varsity won’t see all that the
northerners have in the way of grid
strategy.
Opinion is practically unanimous
among the Lemon-Yellow football men
that California will have little diffi
culty in turning back the Pullman
team. Oregon’s coaches also believe
that the Blue and Gold will triumph.
“Point Game” for Pullman
In the opinion of Head Coach Shy
Huntington the varsity will have a j
decided advantage when they meet
W. S. C. in that this game today with
California is a “point” game. The
collegians have been working for a
year with just one purpose in view—
to “beat California,” and when the
struggle today is over, a letdown in the
morale of the Staters ’ lineup is held I
likely.
Oregon’s green backfield, and es
pecially the quarterbacks, got some
valuable football experience in the
game with California—experience that
could be obtained in no other way and
which is necessary for successful field
generalship. In this connection it is j
interesting to note that when Shy
Huntington was playing his first year
of football with the Lemon-Yellow un
der Hugo Bezdek, Bez thinking that he
snowed, some promise as a quarter sent
him in against the strong Washington
eleven. To use Shy’s own expression
he was a "flivver,” but mistakes he
made in that game—and they were
costly—he never repeated. He later
developed into one of the greatst field
generals western football has seen.
Steady Grind Next Week
The squad will settle down next week
to a steady grind of preparation for
the game with the Staters’ at Pullman
Saturday. Huntington is hard at work
now developing two complete sets of
backs and is drilling them steadily
in all phases of football attack. The
line was put through a stiff workout
last night by Bart Spellman, while
Brick Mitchell put his ends through
their paces. The shifting of Latham
to the backfield necessitates the devel
opment of another substitute end. In
addition to Clerin, who is working regu
larly on the first string, Campbell who !
made the California trip, and Bislev i
are being developed as alternates in
the wing positions.
COLUMBIA PLANS STADIUMS
Columbia University is planning to ]
build three stadiums on its 26-acre :
athletic field at 218th street and Broad-!
way, New York. The largest will be
used for football, and the plans call 1
for a seating capacity of 56,000. '
SPORT NEWS
By BP HOYT
Western football attention will cen
ter today upon the games between
Washington State college and Cali
fornia in Portland and between the
Oregon Aggies and Stanford -at Palo
Alto.
While the majority of football fol
lowers in the Northwest are rooting
for the Cougars ’ to smash the Blue and
Gold this afternoon on Multnomah
field, California is the heavy favorite
among men who follow the sport.
Andy Smith, developer of Califor
nia’s wonder team, refused to make a
prediction on the outcome of the Cou
gar battle, merely stating that it
would be a tough tussle. Referring to
the IT. S. C. game a week later, how
ever the tall man was not so reticent
, and predicted that the Bruins would
' have little difficulty in defeating the
i Trojans.
The Pullman college is placing a
strong team in the field this year and
should give the Californians a hard
battle. Mike Moran, playing «his
third year in the conference, has been
shifted to fullback to fill Lloyd Gillis’
shoes. Gillis made a reputation last
year, and his graduation was expected
to weaken the Cougar attack. But
with Moran playing the game of his
life the weakness looked for has not
developed. Moran weighs in at 195
pounds and is rated one of the fastest
of the Cougar backs.
A pretty punting duel may be ex
pected between Eldon Jenne of the
Staters ’ and Nisbit -and Morrison of
the Bruins. Jenne has been averaging
well over 50 yards on his boots, while
the California kickers have been get
ting them away for 45.
The Aggies are the favorites over j
Stanford, but Rutherford is looking i
for a hard battle, as his team is out- ;
weighed ten pounds to the man.
CAMPUS BEAUTIFUL
PRESIDENT’S WISH
FOR HOMECOMING
Committee and City to Join
In Improving Neatness
For Grads’ Return
Students of the University and the
people of Eugene should co-operate in
keeping the streets, parkings, and
lawns around the city and University
clean and trimmed for Homecoming.
This is the wish and belief of Presi
dent Campbell, who, in a recent inter
view, pointed out some of the methods
of achieving a campus beautiful. “We
want to co-operate with the people of
Eugene by keeping the streets, park
ings and lawns ebout the University
as free as possible from papers and
everything unsightly,” he said.
Jim Say, chairman of the campus
committee, already has plans under way
to bring about the desired beautifi
cation of the Oregon campus. “We
are going to get a smaller, neater bul
letin board in front of the library,”
he stated. “There will be wires placed
! around the corners where the grass is
' tramped down.” Another hoped for
: improvement mentioned ljy Say is a j
board walk or a gravel path between
i Commerce and Oregon buildings.

Theta Sigma Phi to Sell
Rib Padding on Tuesday
Doughnuts! Doughnuts! Doughnuts?
Where? Where?
Well, Tuesday, from 8 to 12, if you
can’t wait till Theta Sigma Phi gets
her breath to tell you about it.
Yes sir! Doughnuts, the biggest,
finest, sugariest ones known in the city
of Eugene will be brought to you be
tween classes, Tuesday forenoon—and
all you have to do is to pay the paltry
sum of five cents for each delectable
ring of rib padding.
You may even get up later than
usual that morning, because the dough
nut venders will be out with their bas
kets of delicate pastry before the 8
o Mocks convene, and you can break
fast on the run. You will be able to
buy a half dozen doughnuts, eat two
of them on the way to class, give the
professor one, and eat the remaining
trio between spasms of looking intel
ligent while the class is in progress.
(No predictions were made concern
ing the efficiency of the professors,
and the raising-standard policy in case
every student presented each eight
o ’clock professor with one doughnut.)
For the benefit of any who may be
inquisitive or practical minded in the
face of a doughnut epidemic, we wish
to state that the money collected by
Theta Sigma Phi is to be used to pay
their annual contribution to the Na
tional Women’s Begister, which is an
organization having for its purpose the
assisting of all women in the journal
istic profession.
All students and faculty members
are urged to come to the campus Tues
day morning bearing all niekles, dimes,
quarters, pennies, five and ten dollar
gold pieces, and other small, recognised
mediums ef exchange that can be
found about their own and their
friends’ premises.
HOMECOMING PROM
KILL BE HELD OB
SEPARATE FLOOR
Woman's Building and Armory
to be Scene of Annual
Dance This Year
TICKET PRICE SLASHED
i
$1 is Admission Cost; Taxis
and Flowers Banned for
Informal Affair
By LEITH ABBOTT
The traditional Homecoming dance,
for the past several years held in the
Armory on Saturday night of the
eventful week-end, will have to be split
this year with the dance being held "in
two separate buildings, according to
present plans of the Homecoming
dance committee. The dances will be
held in the woman’s building and the
new armory with the alumni gathering
at the former with half of the student
body, probably the upperclassmen,
while the two remaining classes and
other partakers in the evening1 s fes
tivity will collect at the armory.
The price of the gala affair has
been cut from $1.50 to $1. It will be
decidedly informal with a ban placed
on flowers and taxis.
Two Floors Only Solution
The committee, of which Lawrence
Woodworth is chairman, found this
action to be the only solution of the
space problem. All members of the;
committee would rather have the dance
•held under one roof and probably
mirrored the opinion of the student
1 body in this respect. After a careful
' investigation of all circumstances,
however, two dances was the only so
lution. The armory has proven to be
woefully inadequate to house such
functions in the past and all indica
tions are to the effect that more alumni
and students will be on hand for the
dance this year than ever before.
More Boom Offered
Under the new plan there will be i
plenty of room at both buildings and ;
at the woman’s building the alumni !
will have more of an opportunity to j
get together.
Details of the dance are rapidly tak
ing form with committee^ planning
decorations, programs and arranging
for music.
All committees arranging details for
Homecoming week-end reported pro
gress made at the weekly meeting of
the various bodies Thursday night.
Letter Campaign Starts
Monday will see the beginning of a
letter writing campaign in which all
campus organizations will see that each
member writes'’to some alumni or ex
student inviting them to reurn for the
week-end. A brief outline of salient
points which should be mentioned in
every letter will ^e printed in Tues
day’s Emerald to aid students in this
work. Carl Newbury, chairman of the
letter writing committee, outlined plans
for this campaign to members of cam
pus organizations last night. On next
Saturday night each organization will
be called upon to give a report of the
number of letters sent out. It is hoped
the total will reach 5000.
The Homecoming issue of Old Ore
gon will be off the press today and
will be sent to every member of the
alumni whose name is listed on the
records of the alumni secretary’s of
fice.
LEAGUE WILL ENTERTAIN
Wives of Real Estate lien Who Attend
Conference to be Guests at Tea
Mrs. P. L. Campbell, Dean Fox and
the executive council of the Women’s
league, were the dinner guests of Ella
Bawlings at Hendricks hall Thursday
night, previous to the weekly meeting
of the council. At the executive meet
ing plans were made $br new and
broader activities for the league dur
ing the coming year. Saturday after
noon the league plans to entertain the
wives of the real estate men who are

NEW HERBAGE ON CAMPUS
*********
Seniors Mustaches Sprout Nicely
* * * * * * * * * *
LANDSCAPE GARDENER WINS
To hoi 70 hoi »nd something to sip,
Sixteen hairs on a senior’s lip.
Why is n senior’s mustachef With
this question written in his eopy pad,
an Emerald reporter sauntered about
the campus yesterday viewing mus
taches and interviewing seniors. He
had been informed that a story could
easily be obtained, since seniors are
conspicuous by their facial herbage,
which has budded forth nicely, lured
by the autumnal rains.
But it was not so easy to collect the
desired inform^iou. Over in the jour
nalism shack there is a room with this
card on the door: “John Dierdorff,
correspondent for Portland Telegram.”
Knowing that a newspaper office is a
a source of information, the reporter
stepped in and asked the little man
seated at the desk where a senior
could be located.
“Why, I’m a senior,” answered the
little fellow as he rubbed his upper
lip. The reporter backed out without
any further verbal parley.
After much original research the an
swer to the question propounded in the
initial paragraph has been defined
variously as follows:
Leith Abbott, president of the mus
tached herd: “Primarily, a senior mus
tache is erected for the purpose of
keeping the sunlight reflected from the
teeth out of one’s eyes.”
Lyle Bartholomew: “A mustache, es
pecially the senior gauze, lends a
Gothic mysticism to the portals of the
face.” f
“Hank” Evans: “The labial decora
tion effected by myself and colleagues
greatly assists in the maintainence of
cranial equilibrium.
“Pete” Allen: “Proud to say, I’m of
an altrustic disposition and wear the
cute little curtain because very inti
mate friends of mine tell me it tickles
them.”
“Bobby” Burns: “The prevalent
opinion among juniors and underclass
men is' that the senior mustache race
tradition has been fostered by Eugene
DOUGHNUT SERIES LIVELY

Teams to Play Every Day Under
Newly Revised Schedule;
Much Interest Shown
DELHI GAMMAS BUY HOME
GIRLS PURCHASE HOUSE THEY
NOW ABE OCCUPYING
Building On* of Largest on Q am pus;
Funds Raised by Sale of
Bonds Among Alumnae
The doughnut basketball series is
coming along nicely under the able
direction of Coach Bohler, and a great
deal of good material has been seen
in action on the gym floor up to date.
The .entire schedule had to be revised,
from Monday onward, on account of
j the late entrance of the team represent
I ing the Delta Theta Phi. This team
will play its first game against the
i Beta Theta Pi at 4 o ’clock on Monday.
I here are to bo three games Monday,
j all of which will be played in the
| afternoon, starting at 4 and ending at
6. The idea at first was to have no
games on Friday, on account of other
activities, but the schedule included
so many teams, and there are so many
games to be played that the depart
ment has changed the original plan,
and starting next week, games will be
played every day.
Many of the teams are showing up bet
ter than was expected, and the race
this year will no doubt be much more
heated, and between stronger teams
than in previous years.
One trouble of the games played so
far is that so many feuls have been
called on the men that the games are
preceptibly slowed up, but as the series
progresses, and the teams become ac
customed to the game, this will no
doubt disappear.
It is very evident that the teams and '
students are taking a great deal more |
interest in the jteries than before, and j
the crowds even for the 8 o ’clock
games are quite large.
Coach Bohler, assistant coach Durno, l
and Boll Andre have been officiating
at the games and have been keeping
them as clean as possible, by calling
all attempts at roughing.
Every team in the league with the
exception of the Delta Theta Phi has
played one game, and next week, most
of the teams will play two games.
The games for Monday are: Delta
Theta Phi vs. Beta Theta Pi, 4 o’eloek.
Alpha Tan Omega vs. Phi Delta Theta,
4:45 o’eloek. Kappa Theta Chi vs.
Sigma Mu, 5 o’clock.
barbers. This is erroneous. The fact
is that recently one of oar youthful
number requested a barber to apply
some powerful determinator to the
fuzz on his upper lip, and as a sub
stitute the barber put on some exter
minator. ”
Virgil DeLap: “We all have to suf
fer disappointments at times, and at
tempting to grow a classy mustache for
a mustachey class develops patience.”
Kenneth Smith: “Can’t say why is
a senior mustache, but I know what
kinds there are around the campus. All
seem to be cultivated according to ath
letic rules. There is the football mus
tache with eleven hairs on each half
of the nostril beach, the baseball kind
with nine on a side, and the basketball
variety with five on a side. Yes, mine
is of the tennis singles style.
Allan Carncross: “A senior curtain
is induced to sprout forth in all it’s
atrophied glory so the owner can have
a foundation for the application of
dye.”
Harry Smith: "A senior nose ver
anda is something you can’t seo, but
something that should be there. It is
a phenomenon, visually speaking, which
is, but isn’t. Mine got frostbitten.”
Ep Hoyt: “Filaments on the upper
lip plus a corrugated bifurcated gar
ment and an expansive cranial weather
shield are the distinguishing marks of
that eampestrian denizen known as a
senior. My mustache is because I’m
one of ’em.” •
The intention of obtaining a defi
nition from every masculine member of
the cultured class wont by the board
when the reporter meandored across
the campus to the place where a gen
tleman with a luxurious labial land
scape picked up maple leaves as they
swirled to the ground.
“Pardon me, sir, but you have the
appearance of being indigenous to this
habitat, and perhaps are versed in the
traditions of your class. Why is a
senior mustache?” asked the cub.
“I’m sorry, mister, but I’ve never
studied botany. I ain’t a senior. I’m
one of tho landscape gardners.”
Negotiations for the purchase of the
four-story building occupied by the
Delta Gamma sorority were completed
yesterday when papers were made out
to three trustees of the Alpha Delta
1 of Delta Gamma building corporation.
The building was owned by the Bren
ton estate of Portland, and was sold
for a sum said to be $10,000.
Miss Amy Dunn, house mother,
■Teanette Calkins and Catherine Dobie,
treasurer of the building association
are the trustees through whom the
sale was transacted.
The Alpha Delta of Delta Gamma !
building association was organized a !
| year ago by active members of the
sorority. The fund for the purfchnse
of the place was raised by issuing
I bonds in $100 denominations to the
| Delta Gamma alumnae.
| The building is one of the largest
on the campus; and was erected in
1910 for the Lambda Rho which became
on October 17, 1913 the Alpha Delta
of Delta Gamma. The organization
has occupied the house since that year
at a rental of $116 a month.

FRESHMEN TO MEET
0. OF I. UK
00 GRIDIRON TOUT
Trick Plays Expected From
Northern Team; Baz’s
Men Will Fight
BATTLE TO BE REAL TEST
Coaches Not Hopeful, Though
Frosh Have Worked Hard
in Practice
This afternoon tho freshman football
eleven throws the gauntlet before the
University of Washington yearling ag
gregation. The group of 18 players
who left Eugene at 5:35 Thursday
evening was full of pep and the deter
mination to bring back with them the
long end of the score. The men who
went to Washington are Wilson,
Goedecko, Bliss, Davidson, Spear, Bag
ley, Smith, Lovelace, French, Haak,
Haynes, Moist, Reinhart, Langrell,
Brocker, Quinn, Barton, and Tegerson.
' Baz’s men have played only one
game so far this season, and that on
the home field. In that battle they
had no great opposition, being superior
in every phase of the game. Today
they will not have the friendly bleach
ers behind them, nor will they play a
team inferior to them. Coach R. L.
Matthews of Washington has his men
well drilled in every department of
football. In scrimmage they outdo
the varsity.
Walkaway for Neither
In today’s struggle neither team will
have a walkaway. It will be a fight
to tho finish, and the teum which dis
plays the most fight will probably
come away the winners. Baz and
Brandy have this fact pretty well
drilled into their men and they know
what to expect. Judging efrom past
teams turned out by Matthews, trick
plays and open formations will have to
be watched for, as against the closed
formations and straight football played
by Mt. Angel last Saturday.
This week the coaches have been put
ting the men through scrimmage and
signal running, getting a little more
unity into the plhys and a little more
speed into them. In scrimmage the
frosh did not look good during the
first part of the week, but got things
running "smoothly again before they
left.
French Expected to Star
French, fullback, who was the ont
standing figure of last week’s game,
is expected to show up well today. He
has speed, weight, and a good head.
Every member of the backfield is fast,
and upon this fact depends to a large
extent the hope for victory.
The coaches feel far from confident
of victory. The frosh have not been
tried sufficiently to teH how they will
go under fire. However, they feel
that the men will fight to the last
ditch and win if it is in their power.
